Objective To evaluate the clinical usefulness of Treponema pallidum IgM Western blot (TP-IgM-WB) test in the diagnosis of neonatal congenital syphilis. Methods Eight cases of neonatal congenital syphilis, whose mothers were diagnosed as syphilis at different pregnant stages, were tested by TRUST, TPPA, FTA-ABS-19S-IgM and TP-IgM-WB. The results and clinical manifestations were analysed. Results Three of 8 cases presented clinical manifestations of congenital syphilis, including typical cutaneous lesions, syphilitic pneumonia, and multi-system failure. The others were asymptomatic. In all 8 cases TP-IgM-WB was positive. Of them 7 cases FTA-ABS-19S-IgM was positive. Six cases (including 3 symptomatic) were positive to all four tests. One case was positive to FTA-ABS-19S-IgM and TP-IgM-WB, but negative to TRUST and TPPA. One case was negative to FTA-ABS-19S-IgM, but positive to TPPA, TP-IgM-WB and TRUST, and TRUST titer was 4 times as high as her mother. Conclusions In view of its high specificity and sensitivity, TP-IgM-WB could be used as a confirmatory test for the diagnosis of both symptomatic and asymptomatic neonatal congenital syphilis.

The migration of two potential contaminants, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, from two paper materials into food simulant Tenax was studied. A rapid and simple one-step extraction-derivatization method combined with ultra high performance liquid chromatography was established for the determination of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde in paper packaging materials and food stimulants. The linear correlation coefficients (R2) were greater than 0. 9999 in the range of 0. 14-35. 7 mg/m2 for both formaldehyde and 0. 20-49. 1 mg/m2 for acetaldehyde, with detection limits of 0. 03 mg/m2 for formaldehyde and 0. 04 mg/m2 for acetaldehyde. The recoveries were 90. 1%-108. 6% for paper sample and Tenax. The migration behaviors of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde at different temperatures and migration times were investigated. Both for formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, the amount of migration gradually increased with time first, then decreased, finally reached a steady value. The migration rates of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were differently influenced by temperature. After reaching a steady value, the maximum migration rate for formaldehyde was at 30℃, and for acetaldehyde was at 70℃ and 50℃. The migration rates of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde greatly varied, and the migration rate of acetaldehyde was far more than the migration rate of formaldehyde when reaching a steady value.

Objective To investigate the biological characteristics of monoclonal antibodies against human liver cancer stem cells and its therapeutic effect in combination with cisplatin in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Cell culture in serum?free medium and PKH26 staining were used to determine the existence of cancer stem cells in human liver Bel7402?V3 cell line. The co?expression of antigen recognized by monoclonal antibody ( McAb ) 15D2 and epithelial specific antigen ( ESA ) and PKH26?positive cells in the Bel7402?V3 cells were detected by immunofluorescence assay. Serum?free suspension culture was used to detect the self?renewal ability of 15D2?positive Bel7402?V3 cells sorted by flow cytometry and the effect of 15D2 on the self?renewal ability of Bel7402?V3 cells. The effect of 15D2 on cisplatin resistance in the cells was examined by CCK8 method. The inhibitory effect of 15D2 combined with cisplatin on the transplanted tumor growth in mice was also observed. Results Single PKH26?positive cells were observed in the Bel7402?V3 cell spheroids cultured for 11 days. Immunofluorescence assay showed that the 15D2?recognized antigen could be conjugated with PKH26 and ESA and co?localized on Bel7402?V3 cells. The spheroid formation rate of 15D2?positive cells in serum?free medium was significantly higher than that of 15D2?negative cells [(30.4±3.4)% vs. (8.8±1.8)%,P<0.01]. The cisplatin resistance of 15D2?positive cells was obviously higher than that of 15D2?negative cells (IC50:1.014μmol/L vs. 0.365μmol/L). McAb 15D2 significantly suppressed the spheroid formation of Bel7402?V3 cells, with an inhibition rate of 37.5%. McAb 15D2 also notably inhibited the cisplatin resistance of Bel7302?V3 cells. The IC50 was 0.211μg/ml in the 15D2 group and 0. 325 μg/ml in the control group. The mouse experiment showed that the tumor growth rates of 50 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg and 12.5 mg/kg 15D2?treatment groups were 82.6%, 71.4% and 60.0%, respectively; that of the 50 mg/kg 15D2 + cisplatin group was 91. 0%, and that of the cisplatin monotherapy was 56. 7%. Conclusion McAb 15D2 is a functional monoclonal antibody targeting liver cancer stem cells, which could be a potential monoclonal antibody drug for the stem cell?targeted therapy of liver cancer.
