ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between EEG feature and TCD with secondary epileply in cerebrul infarction.Methods EEG and TCD were done and analyzed in 40 patients with secondary epileply in cerebrul infarction.Results The EEG abnormality rate was 95%,TCD abnormaity rate was 87.5%,abnormal EEG mainly showed increase of slow waves with low to middle amplitude,with diffuse or local distribution,epileptiform discharges were foumd only in 9 of the 38 ones,cerebral blood flow(CBF) was increased,decreased or bilateral dissymmetry,abnormal spectral frequency(higher force).Conclusion The abnormality rate of EEG is higher,but the detection rate of epileptiform discharges is lower;Unilateral increased of CBF might predict the side of epileptogenic focus.
ABSTRACT
Objective To clone and express prokaryotic recombinant plasmid of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase (NTPase) gene of Toxoplasma gondii, and analyze its antigenicity. Method NTPase gene was amplified by PCR from RH strain of T. gondii and cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector. Positive clones were screened and identified by BglⅡ, HindⅢ digestion and sequenced. The target gene was then subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pBAD-HisB and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). The expressed recombinant protein was purified with Ni-NTA agarose and further analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting. Results NTPase-Ⅱ gene was specifically amplified, and the homology of DNA sequence was 100% to that in the GenBank. SDS-PAGE showed that the recombinant NTPase protein with correct molecular weight was expressed highly in E.coli BL21(DE3). Western blotting testified that the purified recombinant protein could be specifically recognized by mouse serum immunized with T. gondii and mouse anti-recombinant protein serum. Conclusion The NTPase-Ⅱ gene has been cloned and expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3), and the purified protein of NTPase-Ⅱ gene displays a specific antigenicity.
ABSTRACT
Objective To develop and identify monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against adult worm of Angiostrongylus cantonensis and observe its applicability. Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with soluble antigen of adult worms of A.cantonensis. The spleen cells of immunized mice were fused with myeloma cell, and the hybridoma secreting high titer of McAbs with high specificity was screened. By using the McAbs, serum of angiostrongyliasis patient and sera of the rats infected with A.cantonensis were detected by Western blotting and double antibody sandwich ELISA respectively. Results Three McAbs were established (2A2,3F1,4H2), which all showed no cross reaction with antigens of Schistosoma japonicum, Paragonimus westermani, Cysticercus cellulosae and Trichinella spiralis. Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the three McAbs recognized a Mr 15 000 soluble antigen of adult worm of A.cantonensis and recognized the Mr 24 000 and Mr 15 000 circulating antigens from the serum of angiostrongyliasis patient. The double antibody sandwich ELISA detection showed a positive rate of 76
