Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2023;36(8):941-946+954
Objective To develop a colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip for rapid and accurate detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(P.aeruginosa,Pa).Methods After bioinformatics analysis of Pa outer membrane protein OprF,the gene sequence with abundant antigenic determinants and high intraspecific homology was chemically synthesized,and then connected to pET-28a(+)vector to construct the expression vector pET-28a-OprF,which was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3)and induced by IPTG. The recombinant OprF protein was purified by Ni Sepharose~(TM)6 Fast Flow and used to immunize two female BALB/c mice for 3~4 times by multi-point subcutaneous injection in the back at the first immunization and intraperitoneal injection at subsequent immunizations. The monoclonal antibodies were screened by animal cell fusion technique,and the colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip for rapid detection of Pa was prepared by using monoclonal antibody and double antibody sandwich immunochromatography technique. The specificity,sensitivity and stability of the test strip were evaluated.Results Two monoclonal antibodies,Pa-1# and Pa-2#,were obtained with the titer of 1∶409 600,and both of them recognized OprF specifically. The prepared colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip showed a sensitivity of 1. 0×10~6CFU/mL and had no cross reaction with 9 common respiratory pathogens with a good stability.Conclusion The prepared colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip can detect Pa rapidly within 15 min,with high specificity and good stability.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cels have the specific chemotaxis to the inflammation and tumor tissue, but the effect of mesenchymal stem cels on the growth of cervical cancer cels becomes an urgent problem. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels on the proliferation of cervical cancer Hela cels. METHODS:Hela cels were co-cultured with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels at different number or its conditioned medium at different concentrations for 3 days. Then, cel counting kit-8 was used to detect the proliferation of Hela cels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:When Hela cels were co-cultured with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels at ratios of 1:3, 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, the relative proliferation inhibition rates were 67.12%, 47.18%, 31.15%, 27.61%, 15.55% and 15.95%, respectively. When the Hela cels were co-cultured with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel conditioned medium at 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 100 mg/L, the relative proliferation inhibition rates were 0.61%, 40.1%, 63.47%, 80.61%, 93.56%, 90.65%, respectively. These findings indicate that the proliferation of Hela cels can be inhibited by co-culture with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels at a certain concentration-dependent manner.

Objective To analyze the clinic characteristics, lifetime and prognostic factors of young female breast cancer patients. MethodsClinical data of 155 patients under 35 years of age with breast cancer were retrospectively reviewed and followed up.ResultsThe positive rate of hormone receptors was 61.6 % (77/125) in all cases who had been detected receptor status. The median survival time in hormone receptors positive and negative group were 119.0 and 51.3 months (P<0.01), and 5-year survival rates were 68 % and 33 %, respectively. For patients who had been treated with adjuvant tamoxifen (47.1%), the median survival time was 182 months which longer than without tamoxifen (P <0.05). The median disease-free survival time and median survival time were 24 and 91 months in all cases. The overall 3-, 5- and 10-year survival rates were 79 %, 60 % and 51%, respectively. Multifactor analysis with the COX model indicated that tumor size, axillary metastatic status, tamoxifen treatment and overexpression of Her-2 were independent prognostic factors. While clinic stage and hormone receptors status might be referenced prognostic factors. ConclusionYoung women breast cancer patient may have good prognosis if multimodality treatment is conducted. Tumor size, axillary metastatic status, adjuvant endocrine therapy and overexpression of Her-2 are independent prognostic factors.
