Objective To discuss with micro-tympanoplastic operation with osteo retention on treating cholesteatomatous otitismedis. Methods Choose 33 cases cholesteatomatous otitis medis patients who toke the tympanoplastic with osteo retention operation,then analyze the postulate and method of the operation, curative effect and complication after operation. Results Follow up with those patients by 12-72 months, and when 3-4 months after operation we endoscopiced the ears, could see that 43 cases of patients ear mastoid process and tympanic sinus were covered with epithelium, those mastoid cavity were well epithelial metaplasia;and the middle ear was separate from mastoid cavity; 39 cases patient of transplant eardrums are heal up (39/43, 90.7%). 2 cases have perforation of the tympanic membrane toke place after 4 months and 6 months with the operation, and it will heal up by anti-inflammatory drug and laser burning, 1 case had tympanic sinus hyperplasia with granulation tissue, and also had grassery juice; after taken anti-inflammatory drug and change bandage for 15 weeks, the symptom disappear. 1 case had grassery juice of operation cavity, after taking anti-inflammatory drug and physiotherapy, the symptom disappear in 24 weeks. After operation the pure tone audiometry shows that air conduction raise (16.8±6.8) dB HL, hearing raise up to:79.1%(34/43). Conclusion Base on right indication of operation choose, taken combined therapy of ambi-operation period, focus of infection are thoroughly cleaning up. Tympanoplastic with osteo retention are treating well with patients of cholesteatomatous otitismedis.

Endoproteinase Lys-C/trypsin sequential digestion and trypsin digestion were used in 293 T cell proteomics sample preparation and the results of Lys-C/trypsin sequential digestion and trypsin digestion in proteomics sample preparation was systematically evaluated. It was found that the number of identified peptides and proteins increased significantly, and missed cleavage sites, especially K sites decreased dramatically through Lys-C/trypsin sequential digestion. And the average sequence coverage of identified proteins in Lys-C/trypsin sequential digestion sample was higher than that in trypsin digestion sample. Besides, different amount of enzymes was tested to select the optimal usage of enzymes in Lys-C/trypsin sequential digestion. This study provided the references for proteomics sample preparation.

ObjectiveTo compare detection rate of pulmonary nodules and the radiation doses of digital tomosynthesis (DTS) and MSCT chest scanning by using the anthropomorphic chest phantom which containsthermoluminescent dosimeters( TLD ) and simulated pulmonary nodules.Methods The radiation doses of DTS and MSCT scanning were measured by using the anthropomorphic chest phantom which contains 45 TLD and simulated pulmonary nodules.The radiation doses of najor organs were converted into effective dose ( ED ). Three radiologists of different clinical experiences independently reviewed and recorded the density,diameter and position of pulmonary nodules.The sensitivity of nodule detection by DTS and MSCT were compared by Fisher exact test and Chi-square test. The paired t test was conducted to analyze the dose levels of DTS and MSCT.ResultsThe sensitivity of detection nodule by DTS and MSCT were 66.7% (30/45) and 91.1% (41/45) respectively.Statistically significant difference between the two examinations existed ( x2 =8.073,P < 0.05).The sensitivity of detection - 650 HU ground glass opacity pulmonary nodule by MSCT and DTS were 93.3% (14/15) and 73.3% (11/15) respectively.There was no significant difference between DTS and MSCT ( P > 0.05 ).The sensitivity of detection - 800 HU ground glass opacity nodule and ground glass opacity nodule (d < 8 mm) by DTS were 33.3% (5/15) and 16.7% (2/12) respectively,which were lower than those by CT[80.0% (12/15) and 66.7% (8/12)].The radiation doses of DTS for various organs in the chest were lower than those of CT. Statistical significant difference between DTS and MSCT existed ( lung t =19.69,thoracic vertebral t =30.01,heart t =16.33,liver t =5.06,breast t =9.43,thyroid gland t =8.05 ;P < 0.05).The effective doses of the DTS and MSCT were 0.65 and 7.71 mSv respectively.ConclusionsThere is no difference between the DTS and MSCT in the detection rate of -650 HU ground glass opacity nodule.For detecting the ground glass opacity nodule ( - 800 HU) and ground glass opacity nodule (d < 8 mm),MSCT is superior to DTS. However,the radiation dosage of DTS is 8.41% of the MSCT scanning.

Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2017;40(9):643-647
Complement system is involved in the pathogenesis of a group of diseases and also provides an important interface between the innate and adaptive immune response.Currently available tools provide an exciting opportunity to study this system,and some diseases were found to be resulted from excessive and uncontrolled activation of the complement of which the pathogenesis used to be unclear,such as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH),atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and C3 glomerulopathy (C3G),etc.Several complement inhibitors have been approved for clinical use,and additional complement inhibitory drugs are in development.The use of these drugs in patients will expand our understanding of the benefits and limitations of complement inhibition in human diseases.

Objective To study the feasibility, safety and clinical application value of LRH, comparing with abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) . Methods A total of 80 patients' clinical data were collected to analyze the development of LRH in Yunnan Tumor Hospital while compared with another 40 patients between June 2012 to June 2013 of ARH for some associative indexes. Results The patients were divided into group A and B equally.Compared with Grope A, the time of operation decreased 26.9%, 37.2% has been augment for lymph gland sweeping, the amount of bleeding and intraoperative complication reduced 37.3% and 7.5% in Grope D, respectively, with distinctive difference ( >0.05) .Hospitalization expenses had a small degree reduced but no distinctive difference.The learning curve of LRH was 40 approximately.Comparison between LRH and ARH in the same period showed that LRH was more splendid than ARH in several index.1 case relapsed in 2-48 months follow-up in ARH while no relapse in the other group. Conclusion LRH is safe and feasible and has good prospects in clinical application and deserves clinical generalization because of its advantages such as less trauma,less pains, quick recovery,less scars and aesthetical appearance.

Objective To prepare and characterize the monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against recombinant adhesion protein 33 (AP33) of Trichomonas vaginalis. Methods The purified recombinant fusion protein AP33 was used as antigen to immunize BALB/c mice. Sp2/0 myeloma cells were fused with the splenocytes from immunized BALB/c mice. After ELISA screening and 4 times of limited dilution, 5 positive hybridoma cell lines were obtained, and the biological properties of the McAbs were identified by Western blotting. Indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was performed and the inhibition effect of McAbs on the cytoadherence of T.richomonas vaginalis to HeLa cell was assayed. Results Western blotting demonstrated that 5 McAbs, designated as 4A2, 4F11, 4F8, 4E7 and 4H11, specifically combined with the recombinant AP33 of T.vaginalis. The McAbs were IgG1 isotypes. Four of them (4F11, 4F8, 4E7 and 4H11) showed parasite recognition by IFAT. Parasite cytoadherence to a monolayer of HeLa cells was inhibited in vitro with a inhibition rate of 50.08%, 65.03%, 50.70% and 49.08% by the 4 McAbs under a concentration of 200, 200, 400 and 200?g/ml, respectively. Conclusions The prepared McAbs against the recombinant AP33 show a protective inhibition on cytoadherence of Trichomonas vaginalis in vitro.
