A method by using ?-BT-HRP conjugate to localize N-acetylcholinc receptor of neuromuscular junction was described.Thin strips of fresh muscle were incubated with ?-BT-HRP conjugate at a concentration of 1?10-7 M in Tyroid's solution and then reacted with Karnovsky's DAB medium.There were obviously brownish red positive deposits to constitute various vesicular forms seen under a light microscope. Under an electron microscope we can see positive deposits that were localized both on the presynaptic and postsynaptic membra-nes. The binding activity and reliability of a-BT-HRP were discussed.

Objective To develop a nested PCR for the detection of early syphilis and genotyping of Treponema pallidum (TP), and to investigate the distribution of genotypes of TP in Guangzhou. Methods Specimens were consecutively collected from genital ulcers of patients with suspected chancre during 2002-2004, and were detected by dark-field microscopy and nested PCR. The acidic repeat protein (arp) gene and the T. pallidum repeat (tpr) gene family were amplified with the positive specimens above. The number of repeats presented in the arp gene and the restriction fragment length polymorphism by Mse I in the tpr gene were analyzed by electrophoresis. The strains were genotyped according to Pillay's criteria. Results Out of 62 patients with suspected chancre, 33 cases (53.2%) were positive by dark-field microscopy and 54 cases (87.1%) by nested PCR. Of 47 TP-positive specimens genotyped by arp gene, 36 (76.6%) were type 14, while of 49 cases genotyped by tpr gene 39 (79.6%) were type d. By combining genotypes of arp and tpr genes, 7 genotypes were found, including 14d (31, 66.0%), 13d (5, 10.6%), 14b (4, 8.5%), 12b (3, 6.4%), 12d (2, 4.3%), 15d(l, 2.2%) and 14i (1, 2.2%). Conclusions Nested PCR shows a high sensitivity in early detection of TP. Genotype 14d seems the predominant type of TP in Guangzhou.

Objective To investigate the cognition influencing factors of regular laboratory monitoring of HBeAg negative in chronic HBV infection,and analyze the related factors of HBeAg conversion. Methods From January 2015 to March 2017,a total of 302 chronic HBV infected patients in Jinin Infectious Disease Hospital were investigated with a questionnaire about disease related cognition. Single factor and multiple factors Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of regular monitoring behavior and HBeAg conversion. At the same time,163 cases of HBeAg negative HBV infection were divided into the two groups: regular and irregular monitoring, and disease related laboratory tests and the outcomes were analyzed. Results Psychological pressure(OR = 4. 339, 95％ CI:1. 322 - 14. 243),antiviral treatment( OR = 5. 149,95％ CI:1. 628 - 16. 283),knowledge of hepatitis B (OR = 3. 306,95％ CI:1. 108 - 9. 867) and the stability of disease(OR = 3. 229,95％ CI:1. 094 - 9. 528) were the regular monitoring promoting factors(all P < 0. 05). Antiviral therapy(OR = 0. 298,95％ CI:0. 108 - 0. 822),virus gene mutation(OR = 0. 202,95％ CI:0. 048 - 0. 856),and duration of disease(OR = 0. 340,95％ CI:0. 122 - 0. 949) were related factors of HBeAg conversion(all P < 0. 05). The serum levels of ALT,ALB,AFP and HBV - DNA in the HBeAg negative regular monitoring group were (68 ± 34) IU/ L, (40 ± 12) g/ L, (23. 0 ± 5. 9) μg/ L, (2. 0 ± 1. 3)copies/ mL,respectively,which in the non - regular monitoring group were (126 ± 56) IU/ L,(35 ± 10) g/ L, (78. 0 ± 12. 8)μg/ L,(3. 9 ± 1. 7) copies/ mL,respectively,the differences were statistically significant (t = 2. 323, 2. 097,2. 109,2. 234,all P < 0. 05). Conclusion HBeAg negative patients is a key group to monitor and control disease progression. Regular laboratory monitoring is better. Medical staff should enhance patients' cognition education and improve disease control rate.

OBJECTIVETo study the inhibitory activities of 3-O-β-chacotriosyl benzyl ursolate and its derivatives as potential new anti-influenza virus agents against the entry of H5N1 influenza viruses into the target cells.

METHODSFour target compounds were designed and synthesized, which were structurally related to the lead compound 3-O-β-chacotriosyl methyl ursolate (1). The inhibitory activities of these compounds were tested at a cellular level psuedovirus system targeting H5N1 influenza viruse entry.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONThe compounds 1b, 1c and 1d showed potent inhibitory activities against the entry of A/Thailand/Kan353/2004 pseudovirus into the target cells, and among them compound 1d showed the strongest inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.96 ± 0.10 µmol/L. The structure-activity relationship analysis of these compounds indicated that when 17-COOH of ursolic acid was esterified, introduction of Me groups rather than aryl groups more strongly enhanced the inhibitory activity. Changing 17-COOH of ursolic acid into amide could increase the antiviral activity and decrease the cytotoxicity of the compounds in MDCK cells.

Objective The study is designed to evaluate the difference in identification for depression and clinical effectiveness of its treatment between psychiatrists and non-psychiatric Dhysieians at out-patient departments of general hospitals and to analyze its related factors.Methods Totally,680 patients who visited psychiatric clinics in nine general hospitals of Shanghai at first time were screened by psychiatrists using Composite International Diagnostic Interview(CIDI)for depression and the screening resuhs were compared to the diagnosis made by non-psychiatric physicians as goal-keepers there.Altogether 297 patients with depression were recruited and assessed using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD)and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA).A self-made questionnaire for basic information was used to assess the ability for identification of depression in non-psychiatric physicians of general hospitals.Results Psychiatrists identified depression correctly in 337 of 680 patients who visited psychiatric clinics in general hospitals at their first visit,but non-psychiatric physicians only identified 216 patients,with statistically significant difference(χ2=30.73,P=0.000).A consistent agreement on depression diagnosis between the findings by psychiatrists and by CIDI was reached with Kappa of 0.774,but Kappa for that between the findings by non-psychiatric physicians and CIDI was 0.439.Effectiveness of treatment for depression by psychiatrists was better than that by non-psychiatric physicians,with higher total score and scores for each item of HAMD four,eight and 12 weeks after treatment,respectively(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Length of professional work of non-psychiatric physicians and annual time for professional training in management of mental disorders associated with their ability of identification for depression(P＜0.05).Conclusion Ability of non-psychiatric physicians to identify alQd cope with depression in the psychiatric department of general hospitals was insufficient,suggesting that more importance should be attached to the management of service quality at psychiatric department of general hospitals.

Objective To establish and validate a Nomogram for predicting the survival of patients with pediatric ependymoma based on SEER database. Methods We collected the clinicopathological data from 1975 to 2016 in the SEER database. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to identify potential predictors. A Nomogram was constructed to predict 5- and 10-year overall survival of patients with pediatric ependymoma. The consistency index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curve were used to verify the discrimination and accuracy of the Nomogram. The decision curve analysis was performed to verify the clinical applicability of the Nomogram. Results A Nomogram model was established based on multivariate Cox proportional hazards model of training set. C-index values of the Nomogram were 0.713 (95%CI: 0.680-0.747) and 0.734 (95%CI: 0.681-0.787) in the training and validation sets, respectively. ROC curves also showed good discrimination in the training set. The calibration curves showed satisfactory consistency between Nomogram and ideal models. The decision curve analysis demonstrated the considerable clinical usefulness of the Nomogram. Conclusion The Nomogram model is constructed based on age at diagnosis, gender, race, primary tumor sites, tumor grade, surgery treatment and SEER registry to predict the survival of patients with pediatric ependymoma. It has good discrimination and accuracy degree, providing useful guidance to make more accurate and personalized survival prediction for patients in clinic.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the application effect of somatosensory interactive games in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to provide a basis for clinical application.Methods:Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies on the application of somatosensory interactive games in patients with COPD were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang, China Knowledge Network and VIP. The retrieval time limit is from the establishment of the database to October 2022. RevMan5.2 software was used for Meta analysis.Results:Ten articles involving 611 patients were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the somatosensory interactive game group was superior to the conventional training group in improving FEV 1/FVC% ( WMD=6.83, 95% CI 3.71-9.95, Z=4.29, P<0.01), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) ( WMD=13.36, 95% CI 0.50-26.23, Z=2.04, P<0.05), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ( WMD=-1.64, 95% CI -2.31--0.97, Z=4.78, P<0.01), COPD Assessment Test score ( WMD=-2.95, 95%CI -4.08--1.82, Z=5.13, P<0.01) in COPD patients. However, there was no significant difference in FEV1 % ( WMD=2.91, 95% CI -1.61-7.43, P=0.210) and dyspnea ( SMD=0.63,95% CI -0.24-1.49, P=0.150) between the two groups. Conclusions:Compared with conventional training, somatosensory interactive game training can effectively improve lung function and quality of life in patients with COPD, relieve anxiety and depression. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included literature, the reliability of the conclusions still needs to be verified by more high-quality studies.

OBJECTIVETo review kidney transplantation in the center and analyze the risk factors affecting long-term allograft survival.

METHODSThirty-two relative variables were analyzed with SAS statistical software. Using Log-rank method, we investigated influence of these variables on short-and long-term survival of grafts. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the 1-, 3-, 5-, 10-years graft survival rates and half-life. Proportional hazards regression analysis (Cox model) was used to assess and rank the relative risk of potential variables.

RESULTSThe 1-, 3-, 5-, 10-years graft survival rates were 83%, 75%, 66% and 48%. After excluding the patients died with functioning grafts, the 1-, 3-, 5-, 10 years grafts survival rate increased to 89%, 82%, 75% and 69%, respectively. The mean half-life was 8.78 +/- 0.14 and 14.09 +/- 0.20 years, respectively. By Log-rank analysis, factors affecting short- and long-term graft survival were identified as: renal function, duration of graft function became normal, cold-ischemia time, presence of acute rejection, delayed graft function, immunosuppressive regimen, complication, infection, anti-rejection therapy. Cox model multivariate analysis showed that there were 18 factors affecting graft survival.

CONCLUSIONSNew immunosuppressive agents not only significantly increase short-term graft survival, but also have the better long-term outcome tendency. Making assurance to get high quality donor organ and minimizing the death with graft function may be the most feasible way to prolong graft survival at present.
