简介:目的构建肺炎链球菌自溶素(pneumococcalautolysin,LytA)核酸疫苗,并研究其免疫原性。方法采用聚合酶链反应方法从肺炎链球菌基因组中克隆肺炎链球菌自溶素基因,然后将该基因插入到pVAX1真核表达载体中,构建表达LytA的重组质粒,制备成超螺旋比例大于90%的核酸疫苗。实验组:BALB/c小鼠5只,对其分3次肌内注射核酸疫苗(100μg);对照组:BALB/c小鼠5只,肌内注射pVAX1空载体(100μg)3次。分别采集小鼠血清,采用间接酶联免疫吸附方法测定血清LytA特异性抗体水平。结果扩增出的LytA基因(957bp)与基因库中LytA的编码序列(957bp)一致。成功构建了LytA核酸疫苗。实验组小鼠的血清LytA抗体水平明显高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.01)。结论成功克隆了LytA基因,制备了LytA核酸疫苗,后者可在小鼠体内诱导较强的特异性体液免疫反应。
简介:目的:对比23G和25G+微创玻璃体切割术对增生性糖尿病视网膜病(proliferativediabeticretinopathy,PDR)的治疗效果。方法:选取2013-11/2016-05于我院眼科行玻璃体切割术治疗的128例195眼PDR患者,随机分为两组,25G+组64例97眼,23G组64例98眼。25G+组应用25G+玻璃体切割术,23G组应用23G玻璃体切割术。两组患者术后随访时间分别为1d,1wk,1mo。比较两组手术时间,术前及术后的眼压、最佳矫正视力及医源性损伤、并发症发生情况。结果:25G+组手术时间短于23G组(P〈0.05);两组患者术后1mo的视力分布均显著优于本组术前的视力分布(P〈0.01);两组同期的视力分布没有统计学差异(P〉0.05)。25G+组术前的眼压分别与手术1d,1wk,1mo的眼压比较,差异均没有统计学意义(P〉0.05);23G组亦然。两组同期的眼压比较也无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。25G+组的医源性损伤率为4.1%,显著低于23G组的13.3%,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。25G+组的术后并发症发生率为3.1%,显著低于23G组的11.2%,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:23G和25G+玻璃体切割术均可安全有效地治疗PDR,但是25G+微创玻璃体切割术在缩短手术时间、减少医源性损伤及并发症发生率方面显示出更好的优势,是治疗PDR的更好选择。

简介:目的了解上海市普陀区4-7岁儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAHS)的患病率及相关危险因素,探讨问卷调查在筛选疑似病例中的价值。方法以班级为单位采取整群抽样的方法从上海市普陀区幼儿园及小学一年级中抽取4-7岁学生6000例,由学生家长填写问卷,再从中随机抽取无打鼾或轻微打鼾者10例,有频繁打鼾症状的儿童42例,行多导睡眠监测。结果实际调查人数5040(应答率为84.0%),有效问卷4045份(有效率为80.23%),按睡眠呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)≥5次/h、最低血氧饱和度(LSaO2)≤0.94为标准,根据多导睡眠监测结果,估算上海市4-7岁儿童OSAHS的患病率为3.91%。AHI与腺样体肥大相关性较强(偏相关系数为0.373);将问卷中打鼾、憋气、反复翻身、夜尿发生率等选项分配一个0-4分的数值,调查问卷得分与AHI呈正相关(r=0.518)。问卷中打鼾、张口呼吸选项的敏感度较高(95%、87%),特异性一般(67%、79%);憋气、憋醒选项敏感度一般(66%、29%),特异度较高(93%、100%);夜尿及反复翻身选项无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论上海市普陀区4-7岁儿童OSAHS的患病率估计为3.91%,腺样体肥大为患病主要原因;设计合理的调查问卷可用于初步筛选儿童OSAHS疑似病例,对早期诊断和治疗具有重要参考价值。
简介:目的:建立链脲佐菌素(streptozotocin,STZ)诱导的小鼠增殖性糖尿病视网膜病(proliferativediabeticretinopathy,PDR)动物模型,并观察在增殖性糖尿病视网膜病发生、发展过程中血管内皮生长因子(vascularendothelialgrowthfactor,VEGF)及其受体(VEGFR1,VEGFR2),金属基质蛋白酶(matrixmetalloproteinase,MMP)2,MMP9表达的变化。方法:C57BL/6J小鼠连续5d腹腔注射STZ(55mg/kg)。末次注射后7d检测血糖浓度。糖尿病诱导成功的小鼠和正常小鼠继续饲养3~5mo。实验结束后进行视网膜病理组织观察,并利用CD31免疫荧光染色检测视网膜血管的分布情况。采用实时定量荧光PCR分析检测VEGF,VEGFR1,VEGFR2,MMP2,MMP9的基因表达。结果:视网膜组织病理观察和CD31免疫荧光染色实验结果均表明5月龄的糖尿病小鼠视网膜组织中血管数目明显比同月龄正常小鼠多。同时,与同月龄正常小鼠相比,5月龄糖尿病小鼠视网膜组织中VEGF,VEGFR1,VEGFR2,MMP2,MMP9的基因表达也明显增加。结论:本研究表明STZ诱导的糖尿病小鼠在5月龄时发生了增殖性糖尿病视网膜病的病变,期间视网膜组织中VEGF,VEGFR1,VEGFR2,MMP2,MMP9的基因表达都明显增加。
