The patient was diagnosed with "motor retardation for 3 years" in the neurology department of our hospital,accompanied by static tremors and ataxia. Physical examination showed that there was a tendency to decrease for amplitude of repetitive finger movements of the left hand and the left hand clenched fist and toe tapping movements were slightly slower. The left heel knee tibia test and rotation test were not accurate,and the father and elder sister had similar symptoms. After admission,laboratory tests such as urinary tract ultrasound and residual urine in the bladder were completed,and the tests did not reveal any significant abnormalities. Brain MRI shows scattered non-specific white matter changes in the left parietal lobe. Levodopa challenge test was positive. The patient was then suspected to have Parkinsonism. considering that the patient has a family history. Genetic testing was ordered and the results showed abnormal amplification of the ATXN2 gene CAG sequence. Therefore,the final diagnosis was spinocerebellar ataxia type 2. The patient's symptoms are stable and there is no progression during the follow-up. SCA2 should be considered in the case of Parkinsonism accompanied by ataxia and a family history to avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

The cDNA fragment of JEV prME gene was cloned into the baculovirus shuttle vector (bacmid) to construct a recombinant baculovirus vector, defined as AcBac-prME. Then the recombinant baculovirus Ac-prME was obtained by transfecting Sf9 cells with AcBac-prME. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence results indicated that both prM and E proteins were efficiently expressed in Sf9 cells. Electron microscopy suggested that prME was assembled into JEV-VLPs. To further evaluate the potential of JEV-VLPs as vaccine, the mice were immunized with JEV-VLPs and then challenged with lethal JEV. The results of mice survival and pathological changes demonstrated that the JEV-VLPs performed complete protection against JEV-P3 strain and relieved pathological changes in the mice brain significant. This study suggest that JEV-VLPs would be a potential vaccine for Japanese encephalitis virus.

objective To introduce the design concept and structure of a new type of lumbar intervertebral fusion cage ,and to e-valuate its biomechanical properties .Method A partially bioasorbable interbody fusion cage(PBIFC) made of nano hydroxyapatite and poly amino acid /calcium sulfate copolymer materials was developed .Range of motion(ROM ) ,compressive load ,and pull-out test on flexion ,extension ,lateral bending ,and torsion moment on fresh calf L3/L4 specimens of functional spinal union were carried out of iliac bone group ,PBIFC group ,and nano hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66(nHA/PA66) group .Result Of each movement ,the ROM value of iliac bone group are higher than the other two groups ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) ,and the ROM value of nHA/PA66 group are higher than PBIFC group ,but no statistical difference(P>0 .05) .The pull-out strength of PB-IFC group are higher than iliac bone group ,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05);The pull-out strength of PB-IFC group is lower than the traditional group ,but no statistical difference(P>0 .05) .The compressive load of iliac bone group was lower than that of two cage group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The compressive load of PBIFC group is slightly lower than the traditional group ,but no statistical difference(P>0 .05) .Conclusion With good implant stability ,pull-out resistance ,and compression resistance performance ,PBIFC can meet the biomechanics requirements of clinical implant .
