Abstract
Linezolid combined with rifampicin has shown excellent clinical outcomes against infection by multi-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. However, several studies have indicated that rifampicin reduces the plasma concentration of linezolid in patients with severe infection. Linezolid has been recommended for the treatment of patients with multidrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. However, studies on the interaction between linezolid and rifampicin in patients suffering from tuberculosis with infection are lacking. We evaluated the interaction between linezolid and rifampicin based on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). A retrospective analysis was undertaken for patients with tuberculosis and infection who were treated with linezolid and undergoing TDM. Patients were divided into the linezolid group and linezolid + rifampicin group. Data on demographic characteristics, disease, duration of linezolid therapy, and the plasma concentration of linezolid were used for statistical analyses. Eighty-eight patients with tuberculosis and infection were assessed. Values for the peak (Cmax) and trough (Cmin) concentrations of linezolid in plasma were available for 42 and 46 cases, respectively. Patients in the linezolid group had a significantly higher Cmax [15.76 (8.07-26.06) vs. 13.18 (7.48-23.64) mg/L, p = 0.048] and Cmin [8.38 (3.06-16.53) vs. 4.27 (0.45-10.47), p = 0.005] than those in the linezolid + rifampicin group. The plasma concentration of linezolid increased obviously in two patients after rifampicin discontinuation. However, the total efficiency and prevalence of hematologic adverse reactions were not significantly different in the linezolid group and linezolid + rifampin group. The plasma concentration of linezolid decreased upon combination with rifampicin, suggesting that TDM may aid avoidance of subtherapeutic levels of linezolid upon co-treatment with rifampicin.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the prognostic value of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing in patients with refractory/relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) undergoing chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, and to guide the prevention and subsequent treatment of CAR-T-cell therapy failure. Methods: In this study, 48 patients with R/R DLBCL who received CAR-T-cell therapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine between December 2017 and March 2022 were included. Furthermore, ctDNA testing of 187 lymphoma-related gene sets was performed on peripheral blood samples obtained before treatment. The patients were divided into complete remission and noncomplete remission groups. The chi-square test and t-test were used to compare group differences, and the Log-rank test was used to compare the differences in survival. Results: Among the patients who did not achieve complete remission after CAR-T-cell therapy for R/R DLBCL, the top ten genes with the highest mutation frequencies were TP53 (41%), TTN (36%), BCR (27%), KMT2D (27%), IGLL5 (23%), KMT2C (23%), MYD88 (23%), BTG2 (18%), MUC16 (18%), and SGK1 (18%). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with ctDNA mutation genes >10 had poorer overall survival (OS) rate (1-year OS rate: 0 vs 73.8%, P<0.001) and progression-free survival (PFS) rate (1-year PFS rate: 0 vs 51.8%, P=0.011) compared with patients with ctDNA mutation genes ≤10. Moreover, patients with MUC16 mutation positivity before treatment had better OS (2-year OS rate: 56.8% vs 26.7%, P=0.046), whereas patients with BTG2 mutation positivity had poorer OS (1-year OS rate: 0 vs 72.5%, P=0.005) . Conclusion: ctDNA detection can serve as a tool for evaluating the efficacy of CAR-T-cell therapy in patients with R/R DLBCL. The pretreatment gene mutation burden, mutations in MUC16 and BTG2 have potential prognostic value.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the vaccination coverage of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in China from 2017 to 2021. Methods: Using the reported number of PCV13 administrated doses from 2017 to 2021 and the population data from 31 provinces in China, which were collected by the Immunization Program Information System and summarized data at different levels (prefecture, provincial, and national). Collecting batch release data of PCV13 during the same period through the official website of the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control. The average coverage level of PCV13 was calculated by comparing the number of PCV13 vaccinations reported annually to the number of births in that year, and the spatial auto-correlation analysis was conducted in 2021 at the prefecture level. The coverage of PCV13 vaccination was estimated by the total vaccine doses administered each year divided by the number of newborn in the year, as of the administrated dose number per 100 people. Results: From March 2017 to December 2020, the total batch release of PCV13 was 20.06 million, with a total of 71.54, 384.75, 475.45, and 10.8886 million doses each year. During the same period, PCV13 reported doses were 20.2369 million and the vaccination doses from 2017 to 2021 were 4.08, 170.46, 407.52, 599.77, and 8.4185 million doses, respectively. From 2017 to 2021, the ratio of PCV13 doses administrated per 100 infants in each year was 0.25, 10.26, 23.81, 38.16, and 69.90 doses per 100 people, respectively. The range of the ratio in each province increased from 3.85 doses in 2017 to 264.41 doses per 100 people in 2021. The spatial auto-correlation analysis results showed that based on prefecture-level cities, there was spatial clustering in a certain area of PCV13 coverage from 2017 to 2021, and the spatial correlation in 2021 was the highest. The hotspot analysis showed that the hotspot areas with high coverage levels of PCV13 were concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Fujian and their surrounding areas. The cold spots with low vaccine coverage were concentrated in Yunnan, Qinghai, Tibet, and their surrounding areas. Conclusion: The average coverage level of PCV13 is low in China with significant regional differences.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the vaccination status of enterovirus type 71 (EV71) inactivated vaccines in China from 2017 to 2021 and provide evidence for making policy on immunization strategy against hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Methods: Using the reported dose number of EV71 vaccination and birth cohort population data collected by the China immunizaiton program information system to estimate the cumulative coverage of EV71 vaccine by the end of 2021 among the birth cohorts since 2012 at national, provincial, and prefecture levels, and analyze the correlation between the vaccination coverage and the potential influencing factors. Results: As of 2021, the estimated cumulative vaccination coverage of the EV71 vaccine was 24.96% in birth cohorts since 2012. The cumulative vaccination coverage was between 3.09% and 56.59% in different provinces, between 0 and 88.17% in different prefectures. There was a statistically significant correlation between vaccination coverage in different regions and the region's previous HFMD prevalence and disposable income per capita. Conclusions: Since 2017, the EV71 vaccines have been widely used nationwide, but the coverage of EV71 vaccination varies greatly among regions. Vaccination coverage is higher in relatively developed regions, and the intensity of previous epidemic of HFMD may have a certain impact on the acceptance of the vaccine and the pattern of immunization service. The impact of EV71 vaccination on the epidemic of HFMD requires further studies.

Abstract
The hypothesis that dietary inclusion of microbial phytase improves apparent calcium (Ca) digestibility thereby allowing a lower dietary Ca inclusion without compromising growth performance was tested. One-day-old male Ross 308 broilers (25 birds/pen, 9 pens/treatment) were assigned to 8 experimental diets containing one of 4 dietary Ca to retainable P (rP) ratios (1.3, 1.8, 2.3, and 2.8) with (1,000 FTU/kg) or without microbial phytase. On d 21 to 23, digesta from different intestinal segments of 8 birds per pen were collected to determine apparent Ca and P digestibility. Mid duodenal mucosa was collected for expression of Ca (CaBP-D28k, PMCA1) and P (NaPi-IIb, PiT-1, PiT-2, and XPR1) transporters by RT-qPCR. Dietary phytase inclusion in low Ca/rP diets increased Ca digestibility in the distal ileum (Pinteraction = 0.023) but not the proximal or distal jejunum. Broilers receiving the lowest Ca/rP displayed the lowest body weight gain, highest feed conversion ratio (P < 0.001), and lowest tibia strength, irrespective of dietary phytase inclusion. Incremental dietary Ca/rP linearly reduced P digestibility to a greater extent in the absence of phytase in the distal jejunum and ileum (Pinteraction = 0.021 and 0.001, respectively). Incremental dietary Ca/rP linearly reduced serum P more in phytase-free diets (Pinteraction < 0.001), and lowered duodenal expression of P transporters NaPi-IIb, PiT-2, and XPR1 (P = 0.052, 0.071 and 0.028, respectively). Incremental dietary Ca/rP linearly increased (P < 0.001) serum Ca irrespective of phytase inclusion, accompanied by a lower (P < 0.001) duodenal expression of Ca transporters CaSR, CaBP-D28k and PMCA1 and Ca-pore forming claudins CLDN-2 and CLDN-12. Dietary phytase increased (P = 0.026) NaPi-IIb but reduced (P = 0.029) CLDN-2 expression. Incremental Ca/rP reduced Ca and P digestibility, increased serum Ca, lowered serum P and inhibited mRNA levels of Ca and P-related transporters, indicating that these transporters and CLDN contribute to the observed effect of dietary Ca and phytase on Ca and P absorption. Despite the improvement in Ca digestibility, dietary phytase did not restore the compromised growth performance and tibia strength of broilers fed a Ca-deficient diet, leading to rejection of the hypothesis.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy and safety related measures by blocking mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus with high viral load and HBeAg positivity during pregnancy in Guizhou province. Methods: Outpatient and inpatient cases of the Department of Infectious Diseases and Obstetrics of Guizhou Medical University Affiliated Hospitals from May 2016 to July 2017 were retrospectively divided into intervention group, non-intervention group and non- hepatitis B pregnant women group; with 75 cases in each group. HBsAg and HBeAg were positive in the intervention group. Pregnant women with HBV DNA ≥10(6) IU/ml were treated with anti-HBV therapy for 24 to 28 weeks of gestation until delivery. According to oral drugs, they were divided into tenofovir (TDF) group or telbivudine (LDT) group, non-intervention group (HBsAg and HBeAg positive), HBV DNA positive pregnant women, pregnant women with no anti-HBV drugs, non-hepatitis B pregnant women (normal pregnant women without HBV infection). Infants and young children born to the three groups of women were immunized with the national viral hepatitis B action plan. The gestational weeks and Apgar scores at birth, delivery mode, feeding mode, sex and 7-months-old age were observed and counted. Serum hepatitis B markers (HBVM) and HBV DNA were quantitatively detected. HBVM was detected by time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA), and HBV DNA was detected by real-time PCR (FQ-PCR). The changes of liver parameters, HBsAg, HBeAg, HBV DNA, adverse drug reactions and treatment response of pregnant intervention group before medication (12-24 weeks of gestation), 4 weeks of medication (28-32 weeks of gestation), 36-40 weeks of gestation (36-40 weeks of gestation) were statistically calculated. A t-test was used to compare the data between the measurements. Data measurements within the groups were analyzed using rank -sum test. Results: In the intervention group, therapeutic medications showed no differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between TDF group and LDT group, including liver parameters, HBsAg, HBeAg and log10HBV DNA level. Compared with pre-treatment (TDF group: 4.84 ± 2.01; LDT group: 5.08 ± 1.99), TDF and LDT were significantly lower at the end of pregnancy (TDF group: 3.06 ± 0.66; LDT group: 3.51 ± 1.20). P < 0.05); and the treatment response rate was 100%. There were no serious adverse events in the intervention group. Infants and young children (7-months-old) in the intervention group had negative HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA. The mother-to-child transmission rate of HBV was zero, with blocking rate of 100%. In addition, both infants and young children had different degrees of hepatitis B protective antibodies (anti-HBs, M: 144.33), and their antibody titers were higher than that of non-intervention group (anti-HBs, M: 65.91) and non-hepatitis B pregnant women (anti-HBs, M: 58.43). The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), and there was no significant correlation between the use of antiviral and the way of delivery and feeding. Outcomes of mother-to-child transmission of HBV infection in infants and young children (7-months-old) delivered by three groups of pregnant women in the non-intervention groups had 20.0% (15/75)/ 17.3% (13/75) HBsAg/HBeAg positivity rate, and 17.3% (13/75) HBV DNA positivity rate. Overall, mother-to-child transmission rate of HBV infection was 20% (15/75). Furthermore, the relationship between mother's HBV DNA load and infant HBV infection in the non-intervention group showed mother's HBV DNA ≥10(6) IU/ml. Conclusion: In the non-intervention group, mother-to-child transmission of HBV occurred, and infected mothers HBV DNA was ≥106 IU/ml before delivery. This suggests that HBeAg positive and high load HBV DNA replication were independent risk factors for mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B. Therefore, prenatal drug intervention and postpartum standard immune blockade are necessary for high-risk pregnant women with hepatitis B to achieve zero mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B in real- clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether HBV genotype influences HBV DNA and RNA responses to tenofovir(TDF) and telbivudine(LDT) in pregnant women with HBeAg-positive in Guizhou. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of 75 pregnant women hepatitis B with HBsAg and HBeAg double-positive(19-38 years old, median age 26 years old), who were enrolled in the Department of Infectious Diseases and Obstetrics Clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University from May 2016 to July 2017.Blood samples were collected at 12-24, 28-32 and 36-40 weeks of pregnancy for analyses of genotype, including hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), HBV DNA, HBV RNA and liver function, alanine transaminase(ALT), aspartate transaminase(AST), total bilirubin(TBiL), total bile acids(TBA), cholinesterase(CHE), alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Continuous variable was adopted by means of mean±standard deviation, and categorical variables were used for statistical analysis. Results: The HBV genotype was B in 64.0%(48/75)and C in 36.0%(27/75). The TDF and LDT groups showed no differences in demographic and clinical characteristics, including liver function tests, HBsAg, HBeAg, log(10)HBV DNA and log(10)HBV RNA.TDF groups, pre-treatment: HBV DNA (4.8±2.0), HBV RNA (6.4±1.1); at 4 weeks of treatment: HBV DNA (4.0±0.8), HBV RNA (6.0±0.9); at the end of treatment: HBV DNA (3.1±0.7), HBV RNA (5.5±0.8). LDT groups, pre-treatment HBV DNA (5.1±2.0), HBV RNA(6.5±0.9); at 4 weeks of treatment: HBV DNA (4.4±1.2), HBV RNA(6.5±0.8); at the end of treatment: HBV DNA(3.5±1.2), HBV RNA (6.1±0.7). Compared with pre-treatment (12-24 weeks), the TDF and LDT group showed significant reductions in log(10)(HBV DNA) and log(10)(HBV RNA) at 36-40 weeks ( P<0.05). Under the influence of excluding other variables, the genotype had a certain influence on the HBV RNA load.That was, HBV RNA in patients with the C genome decreased by 0.54 units(log(10)) at the end of the treatment compared to patients with the B genome, and the P value was less than 0.05. Conclusion: B and C genotypes are predominant in pregnant women with hepatitis B in Guizhou Province. B-type viruses are more easily controlled when different genotypes are treated with nucleotide analogues.

Abstract
Three experiments were conducted with 22-day-old Arbor Acres male broilers to study the effects of Na+, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] and parathyroid hormone fragment [PTH (1-34)] on inorganic P absorption and Type IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaP-IIb) mRNA and protein expression levels in ligated duodenal loops. The duodenal loops were perfused with solutions (pH = 6) containing zero, 50, or 150 mmol/L of Na+ as NaCl in Exp. 1, containing zero, 30, or 300 pmol/L of 1,25-(OH)2D3 in Exp. 2, or containing zero, 65, or 650 pmol/L of PTH (1-34) in Exp. 3, respectively. Compared with the control, additions of 50 and 150 mmol/L of Na+, 30 and 300 pmol/L of 1,25-(OH)2D3, or 65 and 650 pmol/L of PTH (1-34) to the perfusates promoted (P < 0.02) the P absorption percentages and rates, respectively. Additions of the above-mentioned concentrations of Na+ or 1,25-(OH)2D3 to the perfusates increased (P < 0.003) NaP-IIb mRNA level in the duodenum of broilers, and a similar trend (P = 0.08) was observed for PTH (1-34). The Na+, 1,25-(OH)2D3, and PTH (1-34) had no effects (P > 0.15) on NaP-IIb protein level in the duodenum of broilers. The results indicate that increased P absorption due to perfusions of Na+, 1,25-(OH)2D3 or PTH (1-34) might be attributed to enhanced NaP-IIb expression in the duodenum of broilers.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the changes in the composition of intestinal microbiota in mice with acute liver failure and identify characteristic bacteria, and to provide a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of acute liver failure with intestinal microbiota disorders. Methods: A total of 30 specific pathogen-free male BALB/c mice were used in this study, including 25 mice in the model group and 5 mice in the control group. An acute liver failure model was induced by D-galactosamine. Microbial DNA was extracted from intestinal contents in different segments of the lower digestive tract (ileum and colon) and feces and then were amplified using PCR. The regions of 16S V3-V4 were subjected to high-throughput sequencing, followed by bioinformatics analyses, including OTU hierarchical clustering, species annotation, alpha-diversity analysis, and LEfSe (LDA Effect Size) analysis. Comparison of continuous data was made using t-test, while comparison of categorical data was made using χ2 test. Results: A total of 10 mice survived in the two groups, with 80% mortality rate in the model group. The alpha-diversity analysis revealed increased bacterial diversity and abundance in the ileum, increased bacterial diversity and reduced bacterial abundance in the colon, and reduced bacterial diversity and insignificantly changed bacterial abundance in feces in the model group compared with the control group. Based on the optimized classification level, significantly reduced abundance of Clostridiaceae (44.95% ± 19.28% vs 7.51% ± 16.57%, P = 0.011) in the ileum, whereas significantly increased abundance of Rikenellaceae (1.08% ± 1.01% vs 4.18% ± 2.39%, P = 0.028), S24-7 (4.75% ± 4.87% vs 22.77% ± 13.05%, P = 0.020), and F16 (0.24% ± 0.28% vs 2.18% ± 1.61%, P = 0.029) in the colon were found in model group compared with the control group. The LEfSe analysis demonstrated that there were significant differences in Staphylococcaceae and S24-7 between the two groups, and S24-7 could be defined as the characteristic bacteria. Conclusion: Intestinal microbiota disorders, especially the excessive growth of microbes in the ileum, are observed in mice with acute liver failure. Moreover, acute liver failure may be closely associated with the excessive growth of S24-7.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestations, surgical approaches and postoperative prognosis for the cases of congenital aniridia combined with cataract. Methods: In this retrospective case series, 26 patients diagnosed with congenital aniridia combined with cataract were collected from Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from February 2002 to August 2016. The Clinical data were collected to analyze the clinical features, surgical approaches and postoperative prognosis. T-test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Twenty-six bilateral congenital aniridia patients were included in the case series, with 50% male cases. The average age for the first visit was (8.72±8.06) years old. Hereditary patients constitutes 30.8% (8/26) of the total number. The proportions for bilateral and unilateral cataracts were 88.5% (23/26) and 11.5% (3/26) respectively, and 49 eyes suffering from both congenital aniridia and cataract were therefore included in the final analysis. The most common morphology cataract subtypes were lamellar cataract (24.5%, 12/49), posterior subcapsular cataract (22.4%, 11/49), and total cataract (18.4%,9/49). The observed ocular comorbidities included nystagmus (36.7%, 18/49), vitreous opacity (28.6%, 14/49), foveal hypoplasia (20.4%, 10/49), ametropia (12.2%, 6/49), exotropia (12.2%, 6/49), congenital glaucoma (12.2%, 6/49), esotropia (4.1%, 2/49), congenital ptosis (4.1%, 2/49), lens ectopia (4.1%, 2/49), scleral staphyloma (2.0%, 1/49) and pigmentary degeneration of retina (2.0%, 1/49). 30.6% (15/49) eyes were performed the cataract extraction surgery. The percentage of postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for ≥0.1 and ≥0.3 were 93.3% (14/15) and 20.0% (3/15) respectively. Evaluated ocular pressure (33.3%, 5/15), severe posterior capsular opacification (PCO) (13.3%, 2/15) and choroidal hemorrhage combined with choroidal detachment (6.7%, 1/15) were detected as the postoperative complications. Followed by cataract extraction, 80.0% (12/15) eyes were sequentially performed the intraocular lens implantation, while, 20.0% (3/12) eyes remained aphakia due to ocular comorbidities. Conclusions: Congenital aniridia combined with cataract are rare diseases, calling for the precious retrospective researches. This disorder tended to affect both eyes and occurred hereditary. The clinical courses of the cases presented progressive features. Ocular comorbidities were the crucial factors to influence the surgical approaches and postoperative prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To study the changes of upper digestive tract and bile flora associated with acute liver failure in mice. Methods: Mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: control group and acute liver failure group (group M). Acute liver failure in group M was induced by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine (D-GaIN). The information of relative abundance and diversity were observed by high-throughput sequencing of V3 + V4 region in 16 S rDNA from bacteria of oral cavity, stomach, duodenal and bile.Bacterial translocation and changes associated with acute liver injury were identified by LEfSe (LDA effect size) analysis. Results: At the phylum level, compared with control group, the relative abundance of TM7 in oral cavity and stomach increased in group M. At the family level, compared with control group, group M resulted in a significant decrease in Pasteurellaceae in the stomach (P<0.05) and a increase in Lactobacillaceae in the bile (P<0.05). Conclusion: The diversity of bacteria and relative abundance of each bacterium in upper digestive tract and the bile are significantly changed during the process of acute liver injure in mice.

Abstract
We present a new strategy for in situ transformation of metal-organic framework (MOF) crystals to hollow metal-organic structures through polycondensation of dopamine. The hollow metal-polydopamine (PDA) particles are formed by a coordination assembly of metal ions (Co and Zn) and PDA, inheriting the morphology of MOF (ZIF-67 and ZIF-8) crystals. The hollow porous metal/N-carbon particles morphosynthetically transformed from hollow metal-PDA particles exhibit excellent oxygen reduction electrocatalytic activity. The strategy presented here is promising for synthesizing hollow metal-organic polymer (metal-carbon) particles with diverse morphologies for energy and environmental applications.

Abstract
The simultaneous occurrence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and gastric carcinoma is rare. The present case report describes a 61-year-old man with DLBCL at the ileocaecal junction with several metastatic lymph nodes and concurrent gastric intramucosal adenocarcinoma. Both tumours, together with the enlarged lymph nodes, were successfully removed by surgery. At 1 month postoperatively, the patient received chemotherapy consisting of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vindesine, epirubicin hydrochloride and dexamethasone; he responded well to treatment. Reports published in the literature between January 2006 and March 2011 of other cases of DLBCL combined with concurrent non-haematological malignancies in immunocompetent patients were reviewed. The identification of common factors is important for clarification of the mechanisms of lymphomagenesis and carcinogenesis, as well as the creation of preventive and therapeutic strategies. Such cases highlight the need routinely to perform preoperative imaging studies to exclude other synchronous tumours and, if possible, to biopsy any such masses in order to offer timely and appropriate therapy.

Abstract
Patterned bioceramic coatings may find potential applications in orthopedic implants and biosensors. In this study, various hydroxyapatite (HA) patterns were created on silicon and titanium substrates. Electrophoretic deposition technique was used together with surface patterning of the cathode specimen. When gold/palladium patterns (hexagons, spherical dots, etc.) were created on the cathode surface, HA colloidal particles in ethanol would preferentially deposit on the gold-coated area and form patterns. When silicon, instead of gold, was evaporated onto a conducting cathode surface, HA mainly deposited on the exposed area of the substrate. Detailed mechanisms for forming HA patterns may involve local concentration of the electric field when a second metal is patterned on the cathode. The difference in electric field across the two metals on the cathode also enhances HA patterning through an electrohydrodynamic process. This study demonstrated the possibility and flexibility of electrophoretic deposition in patterning charged particles onto a substrate.

Abstract
The transverse wave condition is not applicable to the refracted electromagnetic wave within the context of geometrical optics when absorption is involved. Either the TM or the TE wave condition can be assumed for the wave to locally satisfy the electromagnetic boundary condition in a ray-tracing calculation. The assumed wave mode affects both the reflection and the refraction coefficients. As a result, nonunique solutions for these coefficients are inevitable. In this study the appropriate solutions for the Fresnel reflection-refraction coefficients are identified in light-scattering calculations based on the ray-tracing technique. In particular, a 3 x 2 refraction or transmission matrix is derived to account for the inhomogeneity of the refracted wave in an absorbing medium. An asymptotic solution that completely includes the effect of medium absorption on Fresnel coefficients is obtained for the scattering properties of a general polyhedral particle. Numerical results are presented for hexagonal plates and columns with both preferred and random orientations.

Abstract
Induction of T cell help is critical in HIV-1 control and potentially in prevention by immunization. A practical approach is needed to identify HIV-1-specific helper activities in vivo. We explored the feasibility of measuring delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) following intradermal injection of recombinant soluble HIV-1(MN) glycoprotein 120 in HIV-1-infected, vaccinated, and exposed individuals. DTH reactions were elicited within 48 h in 16 of 29 untreated, infected patients and in 24 of 30 uninfected vaccinees. Concomitant envelope-specific lymphoproliferation in vitro was undetectable among 9 infected patients tested with positive envelope-specific DTH. By contrast, no 48-h DTH reactions occurred among 25 high risk and 32 low risk, uninfected volunteers. However, 7--12 days after injection, 10 (40%) high risk and 11 (34%) low risk individuals developed induration resembling DTH, and the cellular infiltrates contained monocytes and T cells. Five of 18 examined also developed anti-gp120 Abs. The very delayed time course and lack of correlation with previous Ag exposure clearly distinguish this reaction from DTH. Thus, HIV-1 skin testing can identify persons with HIV-specific recall responses resulting from infection, in the absence of in vitro lymphoproliferation, and from vaccination. In contrast, very late reactivities may signify chemotactic properties of the envelope protein and/or herald the induction of primary HIV-specific Th1-type immunity.

Abstract
p27 is known as one of the candidate tumor suppressor genes. Although abnormalities including deletion and mutation in this gene are rarely detected, loss of p27 expression has been reported to be correlated with the high degree of malignancy in many human cancers. In the present study, we investigated the status of p27 expression in human pancreatic carcinoma (PC) and assessed the clinicopathologic significance of loss of p27 expression in the development and progression of this malignancy using immunohistochemistry. No nuclear staining for p27 protein existed in 65 (65.7%) of the 99 PC tumors examined. Furthermore, loss of p27 expression was correlated with tumor grade (G1 versus G2 or G3, p < 0.05) or clinical stage (I and II versus III and IV, p < 0.01). The above data suggest that loss of p27 expression is a very common event in PC, and moreover, this alteration might contribute to the progression of this malignant disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND K-ras mutations at codon 12 (KRM) have been detected in over 80% of tissues and pure pancreatic juice (PPJ) samples from patients with pancreatic carcinoma (PCa) and are promising genetic tumor markers. Aspirating PPJ not only requires technical skill, but is also exhausting for patients. The authors attempted to evaluate whether the detection of KRM in the duodenal aspirate (DA) obtained immediately after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), an easier sample-collecting method than collecting PPJ, could be useful for the diagnosis of PCa and biliary tract carcinoma (BTCa). METHODS DA was collected endoscopically without secretin stimulation immediately after the ERCP procedure from 160 patients: 38 patients with PCa, 38 with chronic pancreatitis (CP), 22 with BTCa, 20 with adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder (AGB), 22 with cholecystolithiasis (CCL), and 20 control subjects. Mutant allele specific amplification (MASA), which is a highly sensitive method for detecting KRM, was performed, with the DNAs extracted from these samples by phenol-chloroform. RESULTS The incidence of KRM in DA by MASA was 25 (66%) of the 38 PCa cases, 12 (32%) of the 38 CP cases, and 12 (55%) of the 22 BTCa cases. There was no patient with positive KRM in DA among the 20 cases of AGB, 22 of CCL, and 20 control subjects. The sensitivity was 62% and the specificity 88% in this study design. The KRM incidence was found to be relatively high for the patients with PCa and BTCa by MASA, which is a highly sensitive method, although the incidence of KRM in DA from the patients with PCa was not as high as the incidence in their PPJ with secretin stimulation. CONCLUSIONS MASA showed a relatively high incidence of KRM even in the DA, which was easily obtained from the patients with PCa and BTCa without secretin stimulation immediately after ERCP. These results suggest that the detection of KRM in the DA by MASA is useful for the screening of both PCa and BTCa.

Abstract
p53 and Bcl-2 are two important factors related to apoptosis and tumorigenesis. In this study, a series of 52 cases of pancreatic carcinoma (PC) were investigated using an immunohistochemical assay to determine whether altered expression of Bcl-2 and p53 has an impact on the progression of this malignancy. Cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for Bcl-2 and nuclear staining of p53 was found in 12 (23.1%) and 32 (63.5%) cases of PC respectively. Furthermore, an inverse correlation between the expression of p53 and Bcl-2 existed in this series (P < 0.01). In a subgroup, the proportion of tumours showing that p53-positive and Bcl-2-negative staining was increased with increasing histological grade and clinical stage (P < 0.05), and moreover, the survival period of those patients whose tumour had this staining was shorter than those with other staining patterns of combined p53 and Bcl-2 (P < 0.05). Therefore, it is concluded that simultaneously aberrant expression of Bcl-2 and p53 may confer PC with more malignant clinicopathological characteristics.

Abstract
K-ras mutations at codon 12 (KRM) have been detected in approximately 80% of samples of pure pancreatic juice (PPJ) from patients with pancreatic cancer (PCa) and are a promising potential tumor marker. However, the frequent presence of KRM was reported in PPJ from noncancerous patients as determined by a highly sensitive method, raising questions as to the cancer specificity of this marker. Therefore we evaluated whether the hybridization protection assay (HPA), which can quantitatively determine KRM in PPJ, is useful for the diagnosis of PCa, differentiating from chronic pancreatitis (CP). PPJ was collected endoscopically from 29 patients with PCa, 26 patients with CP, and the 11 cases as the control group. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and HPA using an acridinium ester-labeled DNA probe for KRM were performed with DNA extracted from these samples. The results were compared with those obtained by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The mean + 2 SD of chemiluminescence in the control group was 11,020 RLUs. When 11,020 RLUs was taken as the cut-off value, KRM was detected by PCR-HPA in 19 (66%) of 29 of PCa and one (4%) of 26 of CP cases. Analysis of PPJ by PCR-RFLP demonstrated KRM in 22 (79%) of 28 of PCa and five (19%) of 26 of CP cases. However, four of five patients with CP who were KRM-positive by PCR-RFLP were defined as negative by PCR-HPA, suggesting that PCR-HPA is superior to PCR-RFLP for the discrimination between PCa and CP. These findings indicate that quantitative analysis of KRM in PPJ using the PCR-HPA method is a promising approach for the diagnosis of PCa, differentiating from CP with a suitable cut-off value, as in the case with the use of conventional serum tumor marker.

Abstract
This study is designed to investigate the expression of p21 and its relation to altered p53 protein in pancreatic carcinoma (PC). Immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections of PC was performed using a monoclonal antibody against p21 (187), with a parallel examination of altered p53 protein. The expression of p21 was only found in 12 of 58 (20.7%) PCs and, moreover, was mainly restricted to the well-differentiated ductal epithelium. Sixty-four % (37 of 58) of PCs showed positive p53 staining, and this change was significantly related to the absence of p21 expression (P < 0.01). In a subgroup, the proportion of the undetectable p21 expression and the expression of p53 were increased with increasing tumor grade but decreased with advancing clinical stage. The results of the present study suggest that the absence of p21 expression is very common in PCs and appears to relate to altered p53 protein. Moreover, the abnormalities involving the expression of p21 and p53 may play a more important role in the development than in the progression of this malignancy.

Abstract
Expression of the p16 gene product in human primary pancreatic carcinoma (PC) was investigated in paraffin-embedded tissue using a monoclonal antibody against p16 protein, clone G175-405, by means of immunohistochemistry, and the correlation of results with various clinicopathological parameters was evaluated. All six cases of normal pancreas and all but 1 of 20 cases of chronic pancreatitis expressed p16 protein, whereas 37.5% (3 of 8) of cystadenomas and 41. 9% (26 of 62) of PCs lost p16 expression. There was a significant difference between chronic pancreatitis and PC for frequency of the loss of p16 expression (P < 0.01). Moreover, loss of p16 expression in pancreatic malignancy was significantly associated with histological grade (G1 versus G2 and G3, P < 0.01) but not with sex, age, clinical stage, tumor location, or resectability. The survival period was shorter and metastasis is more likely in those cases that did not show p16 expression than those that did.

Abstract
Human fibroblasts were morphologically transformed with wild type and mutant SV40 T-antigens (T-Ags) and with SV40/JCV and SV40/BKV chimeric T-Ags. The transformants were then assayed for the attainment of immortal cell growth. Several observations relating T-Ag and T-Ag domains to immortalization were made. Approximately 10% of SV40-transformants became immortal. Transformants generated by transfection or infection of cells with C-terminal T-Ag deletion mutants of SV40 did not immortalize. SV40/JCV and SV40/BKV chimeric T-Ags, containing C-terminal sequences from JCV or BKV, immortalized cells more efficiently than did the intact SV40 T-Ag, suggesting that the C-termini of the JCV and BKV T-Ags contain an enhanced immortalization function. However, chimeras in which the N-terminal or proximal-central portions of T-Ag were composed of JCV sequences failed to immortalize but did induce transformation. Constructs in which the JCV T-Ag Rb binding domain was replaced with SV40 sequences transformed human cells, but again the cells failed to immortalize. Transformants and immortalized cell lines produced by some SV40/JCV chimeras, contained p53 which was unbound by T-Ag. This occurred under conditions where p53 from SV40 and SV40/BKV transformants was bound to T-Ag. This may reflect the reduced stability of the SV40/JCV T-Ags.

Abstract
From Jan. 1990-Aug. 1992, 616 patients with papillomatous growth of the lower female genital tract (the nodular type 307 cases, the papular type 309 cases) were investigated as determined by a PCR (polymerase chain reaction)-based method, associated with immunohistochemistry avidin biotin complex (ABC), electron microscopy, histopathology, colposcopy and clinical follow-up. The PCR is the most sensitive and specific method. Using PCR the HPV DNA 6.11.16.18.33 were positive in 97.90% of the nodular type. However HPV DNA were positive in 1.10% of the papular type. In the patients with both type, HPV DNA were also positive in nodular, but negative in papular. In the nodular type the HPV-Ag present in 53.55% by ABC method, the koilocytes were 70.49% by microscopy, HPV particles were seen in 5 out of 85 samples by electron microscopy. So that the nodular type (typical cauliflower like) is genital warts (condyloma acuminatum) by HPV infection. The papular type (typical papular or finger like) growth on the mucosal surface of the labia minora of lower vagina. They were negative for HPV DNA, HPV-Ag, HPV particles and koilocytes. On follow-up observation for 3 months to 2 years they had not developed to nodular type and no sexually transmitted feature was observed. The papular type is pseudocondyloma.

Abstract
Renal osteodystrophy is a metabolic bone disease of chronic renal failure. The long-standing alterations in mineral metabolism generated by renal failure have a profound effect on the skeleton and induce severe systemic metabolic bone disease. Iliac crest biopsy was performed in 51 patients of chronic renal failure and examined with microscopy. The histological bone changes are characterized by ostitis fibrosa, increased resorption of bone and number of osteoclasts, increased osteoid volume (osteoblastic osteoid and acellular osteoid), active remodelling of bone and aluminum deposition in bone. According to the histological appearance, advanced renal bone disease can be subdivided into three major histological groups: secondly hyperparathyroid bone disease (high turnover uremic osteodystrophy), osteomalacia (low turnover uremic osteodystrophy) and mixed uremic osteodystrophy consisting of mild to moderate hyperparathyroid bone disease and defective mineralization. Aluminum-related bone changes can be seen in varying degrees in all these groups. Even though these groups do not fully represent separate entities and transformation from one form to another can occur, it is essential to distinguish them since therapy can be tailored according to the predominant histologic findings.

Abstract
666 cases (1,302 eyes) of myopia were performed radial keratotomy and 738 eyes were followed up for 6-9 months. Before surgery, the mean spherical refraction was -6.65D and the mean keratometry was 44.17D with uncorrected visual acuity of 0.03-0.4. 6-9 months after operation, the mean spherical refraction decreased by 4.76D, or an average decrement of 2.69D for mild myopia, 4.07D for moderate myopia, 5.28D for high myopia, and 6.00D for very high myopia. The percentages of eyes with postoperative uncorrected visual acuity > or = 0.5 were 100%, 84.86%, 58.01% and 20.59% for mild, moderate, high and very high myopia respectively, and the corresponding figures for postoperative uncorrected visual acuity > or = 1.0 were 89.29%, 55.71%, 17.79% and 3.92% respectively. Complications were few.

Abstract
The effect of two concentrations of oxygen on the development of bovine embryos was compared using two separate co-culture systems. In Experiment I, bovine oocytes were matured and fertilized in vitro and were then co-cultured for 7 days in 20 mul drops of M199 with 10% fetal calf serum containing oviduct cells. When cultures were performed in an atmosphere of 5% CO(2) in air (20% O(2)) or in a mixture of 5% CO(2), 5% O(2) and 90% N(2) (5% O(2)), 22 of 179 (12%) and 56 of 179 (31%) zygotes developed to or beyond the late morula stage (P<0.0001), respectively. After freezing, thawing and 48 hours of additional culture, 2 of 21 (10%) and 18 of 53 (34%) embryos were judged viable (P<0.001) within the respective treatment groups. In Experiment II, zygotes produced by the same means were co-cultured in 0.5 ml of M199 containing 10% fetal calf serum with monolayers of buffalo rat liver (BRL) cells. In 20% O(2), 51 of 177 (29%) zygotes developed into viable embryos, while in 5% O(2) only 9 of 177 (5%) were judged viable after 7 days of culture (P<0.0001). Post-freezing survival rates were 53% and 67% for embryos from the two respective oxygen concentration treatment groups. The transfer of 20 Grade 1 frozen/thawed embryos produced by co-culture with BRL cells produced six pregnancies (30%). These experiments show that the critical effect of oxygen concentration on embryo development in vitro and the ability of embryos produced by in vitro procedures to survive freezing can be influenced by the type of culture system employed.

Abstract
Four experiments were conducted to define a system for the direct transfer of frozen-thawed bovine embryos to recipient females. In Experiment I, nonsurgically recovered embryos were frozen in 1.5 M ethylene glycol (EG), 1.5 M propylene glycol (PG), 1.5 M DMSO or 1.4 M glycerol (GLY), and then thawed and placed directly into holding medium. Viability at 72 hours of post-thaw culture was 70, 11, 25 and 30% for the four groups, respectively. In Experiments II and III, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 M concentrations of EG were compared; a concentration of 1.5 M appeared to provide optimal cryopreservation and survival after direct rehydration. In Experiment IV, embryos were packaged in straws containing only 1.5 M EG, in straws containing a column of 1.5 M EG and the embryo and two columns of PB1 in a 1:3 ratio of volumes (EG PB1 ), or were frozen in 1.4 M glycerol. After thawing, embryos in EG and EG PB1 treatments were transferred directly to recipient females, while embryos frozen in GLY were rehydrated using a three-step procedure. In the first trial, pregnancy rates at approximately 60 days of gestation for embryos frozen in EG and GLY groups were 39 and 62%, respectively (P<0.10). In the second trial, the pregnancy rate for embryos frozen in EG PB1 was equal to that of embryos frozen in GLY (50% in both groups). These experiments demonstrate the potential for using ethylene glycol as a cryoprotectant for bovine embryos, thus permitting direct transfer of frozen-thawed embryos to recipient females.

Abstract
50, 92 and 30 samples collected respectively from cases with cysticercosis cellulosae, other parasitic diseases and normal controls were examined with SDS-gradient (5-20%) polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and immunoblot. The results showed that 26 KD protein band of the cysticercus antigen is highly specific for cysticercosis and no cross reaction could be seen in patients with other parasitic diseases, especially hydatid disease, and healthy controls. As we know that the cysticercus antigen usually has a high cross-reaction rate with hydatidosis by ELISA method, the positive rate of this test for cysticercosis is 70% in comparison with 80% and 76% of ELISA and CFT respectively and the difference in the figures of these three tests has no statistical significance. Our study suggested that this method is valuable in clinical diagnosis and epidemiological surveys for research work on cysticercosis cellulosae.
