Evaluation of a genetically modified foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccine candidate generated by reverse genetics
Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 +0100 | BMC Veterinary Research - Latest articles
Conclusions: Some amino acid substitutions in the FMDV vaccine strain genome did not have an effect on the ability of viral replication in vitro. The vaccine prepared from genetically modified FMDV by reverse genetics significantly improved the protective efficacy to the variant of the CHA topotype, compared with the wild O/HN/CHA/93 virus. Thus, the full-length cDNA clone of FMDV can be a useful tool to develop genetically engineered FMDV vaccine candidates to help control porcinophilic FMD epidemics in China.

Reactive Nodular Fibrous Pseudotumor after laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Mon, 14 May 2012 04:00:00 +0100 | Surgical Practice
AbstractReactive nodular fibrous pseudotumor (RNFP) is a rare benign reactive lesion to antecedent abdominal surgery or trauma. The authors report a case of 54‐year‐old woman who developed a mass at the hepatic hilum after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The mass was excised completely in two separate operations and histopathological examination confirmed RNFP. The clinical significance of the disease is discussed.© 2012 The Authors; Surgical Practice © 2012 College of Surgeons of Hong Kong (Source: Surgical Practice)
