Objective To evaluate the accuracy,practical value and methods of Doppler tissue imaging(DTI) in localizing the ventricular emergence site of accessory atrioventricular pathways.Methods Forty patients with pre-excitation syndrome were examined by DTI before intracardiac electrophysiologic studies(EP) and radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA).The pre-excitation zone was determined as a zone of maximum acceleration with “DTI acceleration mode” at the time of the delta wave or before the onset of the QRS complex.At the same time,the contraction velocity was measured from subendocardium of corresponding myocardial segment by “pulsed wave Doppler imaging”.Results Assuming the results of EP and RFCA as a gold standard,the correct localization by DTI was 80% but was only 47.5% and 52.5% by eletrocardiographic algorithms( P

There are a wide range of gap junction proteins and pannexins between brain cells. The neurovascular unit, which are composed of neurons, glial cells and vascular cells, integrate and process information through cell membrane channels composed of gap junction proteins and pannexins, so as to maintain the dynamic balance of the nervous system. After cerebral ischemia, cell membrane channels play an important role in ischemic brain injury by participating in excitatory toxicity, inflammatory response, blood-brain barrier injury and other pathological mechanisms. Therefore, maintaining the normal function of gap junction proteins and pannnexins is essential to protect neurons from ischemic brain injury.

PurposePulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in the patients with AIDS often manifest as an atypical clinical manifestations, less positive rate in lab and various imaging features. This paper aims to compare the clinical and imaging manifestations of PTB in patients with AIDS and in patients with normal immunity may help us to improve the understanding of PTB in AIDS.Materials and MethodsThe clinical manifestations, the lab results and chest imaging data of 142 conifrmed PTB in patients with AIDS (observation group) and 150 conifrmed PTB in patients with normal immunity (control group) were retrospectively analyzed, the imaging review included the site, shape, density, property and the enhancement patterns of the enlarged lymph node in mediastinum and the status of pleura.ResultsThe incidences of fever, dyspnea, asthenia, anorexia, loss of weight, diarrhea, blurred vision, urinary irritation, oral leukoplakia, pruritus, rash, other pulmonary infections and extrapulmonary tuberculosis in observation group were signiifcantly higher than those in control group (χ2=4.173-68.542,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001). The positive rates of tuberculosis in cough, hemoptysis, putum smear and sputum culture in observation group were signiifcantly lower than those in control group (χ2=30.376, 9.254 and 16.200, P<0.05). Imaging manifestations: observation group of type I, type II, type IV and type V patients were more than those in the control group (χ2=5.977, 8.621, 18.769 and 20.864, P<0.05). The lesions located at middle and lower lobes and involved more than three lobes in observation group than in control group at the same time (χ2=18.692 and 5.860,P<0.05, P<0.001), military nodules, enlarged lymph nodes in mediastinum and pleural effusion appeared more commonly in observation group than in control group (χ2=13.404, 34.704 and 19.469,P<0.001), while calcification, fibrosis and cavity were less in observation group compared to control group (χ2=6.539, 4.658 and 7.280,P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001). ConclusionPTB should be considered when AIDS patients present multiple symptoms in whole body, with pulmonary lesions located at middle and lower lobes & involved more than three lobes, military nodules, mediastinal enlarged lymph nodes and pleural effusion.

Incision infection is one of the common complications in surgery. Infected incisions usually need to perform procedures including suture removal, debridement, drainage, sterilization and anti-inflammatory. Until, the wound edge was sutured again after the wound infection was controlled. This contributes to considerable physical and psychological suffering for patients. To this end, with Dalian Medical University as the main inventor and other several experts, a multi-assistance function incision and orifice closure buckle have been designed and obtained the national utility model patent (patent number: ZL 2019 2 1803918.4). The closure buckle with was composed of two blocks with an adhesive layer and one tensioning mechanism. The device is easy to operate, and could effectively play an analgesic, antibacterial and promote healing on the basis of perfecting its wound margins and orifice. It has certain clinical application value.

OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for ensuring clinical drug safety and promoting the development of characteristic chemical preparations in medical institutions. METHODS: From three aspects such as registration declaration of new preparations, supplementary application declaration and re-registration declaration, the problems found during the technical review of registration of chemical preparation in medical institutions of Guangdong province have been summed up, the causes of above problems also have been analyzed, and the relevant suggestions have been given at the same time. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: There were deficiencies in the registration declaration of new preparations, such as insufficient basis for the title, the lack of key process parameters in the study of preparation process and the failure of stability test conditions to meet the requirements of the Pharmacopoeia, etc. There were deficiencies in the supplementary application declaration, such as the unreasonable formulation of drug, the interaction between the drugs packing material and the drug, and unreasonable setting of storage conditions. There were deficiencies in the re-registration declaration, such as the supply of existing drugs on the market, the lack of production conditions for the formulation unit, the inability to purchase the original excipient materials, and the incomplete attention items. The main reasons were that the lack of technical guidelines for the research of chemical preparations, imperfection of the Standards for the Quality Management of Pharmaceutical Preparation in Medical Institutions and authorized preparation of chemical agents not allowed in Measures for the Registration and Administration of Pharmaceutical Preparation in Medical Institutions, and some kinds of chemical preparations could not adapt to the development of the new situation. The solutions are to improve the regulations of medicinal preparation in medical institutions and develop chemical preparations selectively based on safety and efficiency. In the future, the problems can be solved by formulating the technical guidelines for the research of chemical preparations in medical institutions, refining the rules for the retention of samples in finished products, increasing the requirements for continuous stability inspections, allowing authorized chemical preparations to be commissioned and prepared, phasing out the chemical preparations that do not adapt to the new situation, and developing valuable chemical preparations, to provide safe and effective chemical preparations for clinical use.

Objective:
To develop the monoclonal antibody (mAb) against neuraminidase of H7N9 subtype influenza A virus and identify its biological function.
Methods:
Female 8 week-old BALB/c mice were immunized and the splenocytes of the mice were fused with Sp2/0 myeloma cells. Indirect ELISA was used to screen hybridoma and the positive clones were subject to be subcloned. Positive clones were identified and the monoclonal antibodies(mAbs) were obtained by purifying the ascetic fluid of mice injected with the hybridoma. The NA-binding as well as neuraminidase-inhibition activity of these mAbs were determined.
Results:
Three mAbs against neuraminidase of H7N9 subtype influenza A virus, 1G8, 3C4 and 4E8, were obtained. They demonstrated different epitop-recognizing. 3C4 and 4E8 exhibited neuraminidase inhibitory activity, with a IC50 of 1.45 μg/ml and 8.65 μg/ml, respectively.
Conclusions
The results suggested that mAbs specific to neuraminidase of H7N9 subtype influenza A virus were developed, providing an useful tool in control and preventing the novel H7N9 influenza A virus.
