Abstract
We have detected and analysed the leptospiral DNA in serum of patients with early Leptospirosis from the epidemic area of China by PCR and DNA hybridization with Digoxigenin (Dig)-3-(2'-Spiroadamantane)-4-methoxy-4-(3"-phosphoryloxy)- phenyl-1,2-dioxetane (AMPPD) to develop a sensitive, specific and reliable technique for the early diagnosis of leptospirosis, and full satisfactory results have obtained. Fourteen serum specimens from patients with leptospirosis proven by blood culture and serological test were prepared according to Boom's methods for PCR test, and oligonucleotide primers, named G1 G2, were obtained from a genomic library of leptospira interrogans. PCR amplification with serum specimens was performed. Each cycle of amplification consisted of denaturation at 94 degrees C for 1 min, annealing at 55 degrees C for 1 min and elongation at 72 degrees C for 2 min. Each sample was subjected to 32 cycles. The amplified DNA were separated by electrophoresis with 2% agarose gel and hybridized with the homologous DNA probe labelling with Dig-AMPPD by means of Southern blotting. All of 14 samples revealed the presence of leptospira and the strong signals were visualized with homologous DNA probe hybridization by Southern blotting. Negative and positive controls appeared correctly. The DNA fragment generated from PCR amplification homologically hybridized with the DNA of 16 strains which are from Yasudas' genomic species and represent the different genomic groups of leptospires. The single recognized band (about 400 bps) from 6 out of the 16 strains has come out which are representative of the principal strains in Sichuan, China.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Rubella virus is the common agent of prenatal infection. Congenital malformation rate is very high among pregnant women who are infected rubella primarily during the first trimester of pregnancy. Sera were taken from 10412 early pregnant women in 4 cities and 4 countries of 6 Provinces in 4 districts of China from April 1990 to October 1991 for detection of special IgM antibodies against rubella with Capture-EIA test. The results showed that the primary infection rate was 0.318% of those women without clinical symptoms of rubella during their early pregnant period. A high infection rate of 1.477% was found in those women with clinical symptoms, 4.7 times the former rate. The total infection rate of 10,412 women was 0.461%. By this rate at least some 40 thousand CRS infants will be born each year in China. This figure is more than the sum of patients suffering from poliomyelitis and Japanese encephalitis, and much more than the number disabled from these two infectious diseases. Some suggestions to prevent CRS were put forward in this paper.

Abstract
Nick translation labelling technique was applied to the preparation of two 32P labelled genomic DNA probes from L. interrogans serovar Lai strain 017 and Leptonema illini strain 3055, respectively. Dot-blotting and Southern-blotting with DNA of five strains leptospira from different genus and species were performed. The results showed that certain differences among the L. interrogans, L. biflexa and Leptonema illini could be detected by endonuclease assay. L. interrogans strain 017 with L. biflexa strain Patoc I and Leptonema illini 3055 strain exhibited very little homology. L. interrogans strains 017, 601, and 245 from different serogroup and serovar had a high degree of homology. Leptonema illini strain 3055 showed little homology with L. interrogans and L. biflexa. Therefore DNA hybridization may be used as a tool for the identification and classification of leptospira.

Abstract
Clinical and therapeutic characteristics of anorectal melanoma have been studied about 2 new cases. The initial symptoms were often misdiagnosed with hemorrhoids disease. This cancer carries a bad prognosis but the best treatment seems to be abdominoperineal resection (APR) when the thickness of the melanoma is under 3 mm. Over this limit, APR alone will not cure this disease. Curative treatment will probably involve a combined therapy with local and systemic therapies.

Abstract
Photobiotin- and 32P-labelled DNA probes of L. interrogans sv. lai strain 017 were produced and the DNA and leptospires were dotted on the NC filter and hybridized. The results showed that photobiotin and 32P-labelled DNA probes could detect DNAs of homology. The smallest amount of DNA that could be detected with the probes were 5pg and 1pg, and the smallest numbers of pathogenic leptospires were 5 x 10(3) and 10(3), respectively. Nonpathogenic leptospires. L. biflexa sv. patoc strain Patoc 1, L. illini strain 3055, Escherichia coli, Bacillus aerogenes capsulatus, and Salmonella anatis, could not be detected by the probes. The study demonstrates that leptospires DNA probe could be produced by labelling the DNA with photobiotin. It has higher sensitivity and specificity and can be used for detection of leptospires in the field and clinic.

Abstract
BALB/c mice were immunized intraperitoneally with outer envelopes of serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae lai serovar strain 017 leptospires. Monoclonal antibody (McAb) E4B7D5 against outer envelopes (IgG1, agglutinating titre 1:25,600) was produced by hybridoma technique. Passive immunoprotection experiments have demonstrated the immunoprotection of McAb E4B7D5 against strain 017 leptospires. Effect of McAb E4B7D5 on leptospiral adherence to the surface of normal human pulmonary embryonic fibroblasts was observed by using scanning electron microscope. The results indicated that the leptospiral adherence noted in various agglutinating titre McAb E4B7D5 groups was less frequent than that in the three control groups. It was concluded that the inhibitory effect of McAb E4B7D5 on leptospiral adherence may play a role in the immunoprotection.

Abstract
Nick translation and random primer labelling method were applied to prepare three genomic DNA probes from Leptospira interrogans strain 017, Leptospira biflexa strain Patoc I and Leptonema illini strain 3055, and then hybridized with DNA of 17 strains leptospires from different genus, species, serogroup and serovar. The results showed no homology between Leptospira and Leptonema, and only a low degree of homology between L. interrogans and L. biflexa but it showed a high degree of homology among L. interrogans. The study also proved the possibility to establish a DNA probe prepared from a single leptospira strain to detect different serovars.

Abstract
An immunotoxin, SOKT1-RTA, was prepared successfully by conjugating a murine anti-human T lymphocyte monoclonal antibody (McAb) SOKT1 and the ricin toxin A chain (RTA) with the heterobifunctional linker SPDP. At the presence of 20 mmol/L NH4Cl, the SOKT1-RTA conjugate killed 82% of the human peripheral blood T cells (PBT), and decreased their 3H-Leu incorporation to 6.2% of the untreated controls. The toxic effect of the immunotoxin can be partially blocked by unconjugated SOKT1, but not by an irrelevant McAb D51. These results indicated that the SOKT1-RTA conjugate still retains both functions of its component parts:binding to human PBT specifically, and inhibiting protein synthesis. It may be an effective reagent for in vitro depletion of immunocompetent T cells from human bone marrows.

Abstract
SOKT1 -RTA immunotoxin, which consisted of an anti-pan-T cell monoclonal antibody SOKT1 and ricin toxin A-chain, decreased the peripheral blood lymphocyte transformation in response to PHA and to alloantigen by 92.9% and 84.7%, respectively. The generation of allocytotoxic T cell was also dramatically inhibited by this immunotoxin. After treatment of human bone marrow mononuclear cells with the immunotoxin, erythroid proliferation in CFU-E test preserved 62.9%. Based on these findings, we concluded that SOKT1-RTA immunotoxin can effectively inactivate human T lymphocytes in vitro without serious toxic effect on the hematopoietic progenitor cells. It may be an effective agent in aGVHD prophylaxis.

Abstract
A gene bank of the main pathogen of pulmonary diffuse haemorrhage type leptospirosis (PDH), L. interrogans serovar lai strain 017, was first constructed with plasmid vector pUC9, which contained 610 recombinant clones and laid the foundation for further investigation of molecular characteristics of leptospires with strong virulence. Recombinant plasmids which have homological sequences of pathogenic leptospires were screened from the gene bank. A recombinant plasmid, designated pCX7, could detect 1.7 kb fragment of strain 017, 9.0 kb of strain 601 and 30.0 kb of strain 610 respectively without cross hybridization with nonvirulent leptospires such as L. biflexa strain Patoc I and Leptonema illini. pCX9, another recombinant plasmid, could detect 1.9 kb fragment of strain 017 and had no hybridization with other pathogenic or nonpathogenic leptospires. The results showed that the degree of homology between pathogenic and non-pathogenic leptospires was very low and the degree of homology was very high among the pathogenic leptospires.

Abstract
For the application of restriction endonuclease analysis in typing and identifying leptospira, we selected some serovars and isolates, and analysed preliminarily their DNA with four restriction enzymes, EcoR I, Bgl II, Hha I, and Hind III. The DNA samples were isolated from the reference strains and isolates as follows: Serovar lai 56601, 017 (the virulent strain for PDH model of guinea pig), Serovar autumnalis 56606, Serovar manhao II 67020, and isolates 87112 and 87369. Each 2 micrograms of DNA was digested with 20mu of restriction enzyme at 37 degrees C for 2h and electrophoresed in 0.8% agarose gel. The gels were stained in ethidium bromide and photographed with UV light. In our experiments, apparently different restriction patterns of serovar lai 017 were observed with four restriction enzymes. Serovar lai, serovar autumnalis and serovar manhao II showed different patterns with EcoR I, especially in high molecular regions. We also observed in serovar lai 017 a distinct 10.5kb band which was obscure in 56601, the reference strain of serovar lai, after EcoR I digestion. The three serovars showed some delicate differences in Hind III restriction pattern. The two isolates from Apodemus agrarius in Sichuan (1987) 87112 and 87369 had patterns identical to those of serovar lai 56601, 017 with EcoR I, and 87112 also had a pattern identical to 56601, 017 with Hind III. Our results indicate that selected three serovars can be identified by analysis of their DNA with EcoR I and Hind III. It is suggested that restriction endonuclease analysis be a good method in typing and identify leptospira and in studying the differences of special DNA molecules.

Abstract
The duration of immunity following measles vaccination of 2882 immunized children has been investigated in a closed region of China for 15 years. A total of 1002 of the children were treated as primary immunization subjects, and 1547 as reimmunization subjects. These two cohorts were not in contact with known wild measles virus over the whole observation period, and the results obtained probably reflected the antibody responses to measles vaccine alone. The remaining 333 vaccinees came into contact with wild measles virus, and this permitted evaluation of the protective effect of the measles vaccines tested: 4 children experienced very mild clinical measles, and 329 experienced subclinical infection, including 12 who had had undetectable haemagglutination-inhibition antibodies for 9-10 years. These results indicate that the immunity induced by successful primary immunization may persist for at least 15 years. Within this period, a second dose of vaccine only induces low antibody responses which decrease rapidly to their original levels. This provides strong evidence that the immunity produced by primary immunization is long-lasting. However, there were some indications that reimmunization might produce better effects if live attenuated measles virus were used with a longer interval between doses.

Abstract
Two recombinant DNA probes-PLIpso1 (15kb) and PLIEc34 (4kb), derived from Leptospira serovaricterohaemorrhagiae genomic libraries, were applied for the hybridization and identification of 13 strains of Leptospira in serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae. Difference in hybridization signal in combination with the banding pattern provide a good way for identification of serovars and strains. The recombinant DNA, specific to L. serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae, hybridized with a limited number of DNA fragments which had been digested by several restriction endonucleases. The less complex banding pattern and higher sensitivity facilitate characterization of various serovars and strains in serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae. In general the DNA patterns recognized by both probes have extensive genomic homology in same serovar (but still can distinguish strains in same serovar by some unique bands) and apparent difference in various serovars (especially serovars naam, nanxi and honghe). The results indicated that Southern blotting with recombinant DNA probe might provide tools for identification, characterization and analysis of leptospira.

Abstract
Leptospirosis is a severe zoonosis in the world. The methods for detecting leptospira are not sensitive and specific so far. The problems in early diagnosis and epidemiological identification of Leptospirosis remain unsolved. Two recombinant DNA fragments of serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae, Leptospira were selected by repeated molecular cloning and screening in this study firstly. One of them can hybridize with the DNA of various serogroups of Leptospira interrogans; the other can only hybridize with the DNA of serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae. After the nucleotides sequence analysis, from these 2 recombinant DNA fragments, 2 pairs of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) oligonucleotide primers were synthesized, named primer B 1, 2 and primer B 3, 4 PCRs were carried out with these 2 primers for detecting the microquantity (0.1 ng) of various serovars, serogroup of leptospires. All the DNA of Leptospira interrogans can be amplified by primer B 1, 2, and only the DNA of serogroup icterohaemorrhagiae, Leptospira reacted specially with primer B 3, 4. The DNA of non-pathogenetic Leptospira and some other microbes, however, had no amplification at all. This study is first reported at home and abroad. The results demonstrate that PCR is a very sensitive and specific technique of DNA amplification, which can be used as a powerful tool in the early diagnosis and epidemiological identification of leptospirosis.

Abstract
Spleen cells of BALB/c mice immunized with whole Leptospira interrogans serogroup Australis serovar australis strain 620 were fused with myeloma cells line SP2/0. Specificities of four McAbs determined by MAT. 2E1 McAb (IgG3) reacted with 11 serovars, of the Australis serogroup, but did not react with 22 representative serovars of L. interrogans in 20 serogroups, L. biflexa strain patoc I and Leptonema illini strain 3055. 2E1 McAb showed serogroup specificity for Australis by agglutination and the other 3 McAbs showed partial serogroup specificity. We compared the outer envelope (OE) protein profiles of serovar australis strain 620 with those of two pathogenic L. interrogans serovar lai strain 601 and serovar hebdomadis strain 156 by SDS-PAGE. 63kd protein profile was only found in the OE of strain 620, and the quantity of 42kd protein of strain 620 was greater than that of strain 601 and 156. The immunoblotting revealed that 2E1 McAb reacted with a 34kd band in the OE preparation of serovar australis strain 620, but did not react with that of other two L. interrogans. 2E1 McAb also did not react with OE of non-pathogenic leptospires. It was suggested that 34kd protein might contain the antigenic determinants which were shared by leptospires of Australis serogroup.

Abstract
Three McAb were produced against an outer envelope preparation from Leptospira, interrogans, serovar Lai by fusion of SP2/0 myeloma cells with immune BALB/c mice spleen cells. The fusion rate was 96% and the antibody positive rate was 50%. One of the hybridomas, E4B11C9, reacted with 13 of the 13 serovars of the Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup in microscopic agglutination test (MAT) but did not react with the 18 representative serovars of L. interrogans and L. biflexa serovar patoc and Leptonema illini. For all non-reactive serovars the MAT titres were greater than 1:25. The McAb, E4B7G5, reacted similarly with all serovars except smithi and tonkini. E4B7D4 reacted also similarly with all serovars except serovars birkini, ndambari, bogvere, smithi and tonkini. Therefore, 3 McAb showed serogroup specificity and partial serogroup specificity by agglutination. The agglutination titres were high and hybridomas were stable, so it might be useful in providing a simple, rapid method for the classification and identification of clinical isolates such as pathogenic L. interrogans in place of the complicated and time-consuming conventional methods.

Abstract
Five antimicrobial peptides were extracted from the cytoplasmic granules of rabbit neutrophils with 0.01 mol/L citric acid. SDS-PAGE gel densitometric analysis of the citric acid extract showed that they accounted for 34%-42% of the total extract proteins. When subjected to acid urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, five peptides migrated much further to the cathode than lysozyme. Beginning with the most cathodal component, they were in turn referred to as NP1, NP2, NP3, NP4, and NP5. They were purified from the citric acid extract by virtue of preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Each of them was of low molecular weight (2,500-6,000) as determined by SDS-PAGE. Three of the peptides were tested in vitro for fungicidal activity. When Candida albicans (10(7)/ml) were incubated with 12.5 micrograms/ml of NP1 or NP2 at 37 degrees C for 2 h, the death rates of the organisms were 96.6% and 93.3% respectively. NP3 was shown to be active against Candida albicans although less potent than NP1 and NP2.
