Objective To investigate the value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and abdominal CT (CT) in diagnosis of periampullary lesions and to make comparison between the two procedures. Methods The patients suspected of surrounding lesions of ampullary from 2009 to 2013 in our hospital were included in this study. All the patients received both EUS and abdominal CT. The accuracy rate of these two examination methods was compared. Results 151 patients were confirmed as surrounding lesions of ampullary, including choledocholithiasis, ampullary tumors, ampullary inflammation, tumors of the pancreatic head and pancreatic cysts. The accuracy rate of these diseases was 83.6%, 90.6%, 6.5%, 100.0%, and 100.0%for EUS;while was 52.2%, 56.3%, 43.5%, 91.3%, and 100.0%for abdominal CT. The tatal accuracy rate for diagnosing periampullary lesions by EUS was significantly higher than that by abdominal CT (84.1% vs. 59.6%). Conclusions Endoscopic ultrasonography has higher value in diagnosis of periampullary lesions, and its accurate rate was higher than that of abdominal CT.

Objective To investigate the effects of a highly selective dopamine D4 receptor (ABT-724)on behaviors in Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR),a rat model of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods After intervention of methylphenidate(5mg/kg) and three different doses of ABT-724(0.04mg/kg,0.16mg/kg,0.64mg/kg),behaviors of SHR were verified by open-field test,Morris water maze and Làt maze.Results Number of square crossing after intervention of methylphenidate and ABT-724 in SHR( 70.67 ± 8.59,76.50 ± 10.75,79.17 ± 10.44,65.67 ± 20.62) was less than the saline control group( 130.33 ± 1 1.40) (P＜0.05).During Morris water maze,SHRs(52.50 ± 4.04,52.17 ± 2.99,61 ± 8.15,53.83 ± 9.87 ) after intervention of both had a better spatial memory ability than control group(38.83 ±7.17) (P＜0.05).In Làt maze,number of rearing after intervention of both in SHRs(57.17 ± 5.67,60.83 ± 8.28,55.17 ± 9.45,65.33 ± 9.50 ) was less than saline control group(78.00 ± 13.84) (P＜0.05).Conclusion ABT-724 could improve behaviors of spontaneous locomotor activity,cognitive ability,non-selective attention in SHR.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have great impact on the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer (GC).Recent studies show that the over-expression of H19,HOTAIR,TINCR and LINC00152 and the down-expression of MEG3,GAS5,LET and AA174084 are closely related to the occurrence,invasion,metastasis and prognosis of GC.lncRNAs provide an opportunity to develop new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of GC.

The cell-free plasma DNA (cfpDNA) has been suggested as a useful tumor marker for its quantitative and qualitative tumor-specific alterations that reflect the biological characteristics and the progression and outcomes of tumors.Therefore,it has been used as liquid biopsy to detect cfpDNA in peripheral blood for the diagnosis,monitoring of clinical effects,and prognosis of malignancies

Due to their small molecular weight,strong penetrating power,wide target range,strong ability of binding targets,stable quality,little immunogenicity,easiness to be synthesized and modified,and functional roles in molecular recognition and signal transduction,nucleic acid aptamers are now used as tools for molecular recognition and drugs delivery for the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases.

Objective To study the expression of CD27 and CD28 in antigen-specific CD4~+T cells in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and healthy people, and understand the role of differentiated stages of CD4~+T cells in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis. Methods The expression of CD27 and CD28 was analyzed by CD4, CD154, CD27 and CD28 staining and flow cytometry. The distributions of CD27 and CD28 in antigen-specific CD4~+T cells were compared between patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and healthy controls. Results In patients of pulmonary tuberculosis, the frequencies of CD27 + CD28 + (early differentiated stage), CD27~- CD28~+ and CD27~+ CD28~- (intermediate differentiated stage), CD27~- CD28~-(fully differentiated stage) T cell subsets in antigen specific CD4~+T cells were (49. 55 ±6. 15)%, (26. 85 ±3. 87)% ,(7. 2 ± 1.37)% and ( 16. 35 ±3.97)%, respectively. In healthy controls, the frequencies of the four subsets in antigen-specific CD4~+T cells were ( 51.81 ± 4. 94 ) %, ( 29. 83 ± 5.33 ) %, ( 12. 65 ±4. 48)% and (5.7±2)%, respectively. The early differentiated CD4~+T cell was the major subset both in patients and healthy people, however, which had significant difference compared with the fully differentiated subset ( t = 2. 26, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion The population frequency of the fully differentiated CD4~+T cells in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was significantly higher than that in healthy people. This suggested that the differentiation degree of the antigen-specific CD4~+T cell might be related with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between the expression level of Nanog gene and clinical outcomes of GP regimen in the advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods 62 patients of NSCLC were treated by GP method,and the outcomes were investiged between Nanog positive and nagetive patients.The expression level of Nanong was evaluated by RT-PCR and immunohistology.Results 30 out of 62 patients (48.4 ％) were Nanog positive,9 patients (28.1％) were Nanog positive,and 23 out of 32 patients were Nanog negative (71.9 ％) who have the positive effect (CR+PR).However,among 32 treatment nagetive cases,there were 21 cases (70.0 ％) who were Nanog positive and 9 cases (30.0 ％) were Nanog negatve.Survival analysis showed that 5-years lifetime of Nanog positive patients was shorter than Nanong nagetive patients.Conclusion Nanog overexpression decreases the sensitivity of GP regimen and lifetime of NSCLC patient.Nanog expression level may provide a useful factor for clinical treatment and prognosis of NSCLC patient.

Objective To investigate the effect of early intervention on general movements (GM) in preterm infants during fidgety movement. Methods 315 preterm infants during fidgety movement period were divided into intervention group (n=160) and control group (n= 155). The intervention group accepted very early intervention program consisted of hospital intervention and family intervention, and the control group accepted routine treatment and nursing. The incidences of different kinds of GMs were compared. Results There is no statistical difference (χ2=0.641, P=0.726) in writhing movement before intervention, and the fidgety movement presented more in the intervention group than in the control group (χ2=8.710, P=0.003), while the absence of fidgety movement was significantly fewer (χ2=5.685, P=0.017) after intervention. Conclusion Very early intervention can reduce the incidence of absence of fidgety movement and improve fidgety movement.

Objective To study population frequencies of CD4+,CD154+ T cell subset in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and controls with positive PPD reaction. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect the CD4+,CD154+ T cell subset, the population frequen-cies in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and controls were compared. Results The expression level of CD154 was higher when PE-la-beled CD154 antibody was added during stimulation period, compared with CD154 labeling after stimulation(1.51±0. 36/0. 40±0. 13, P <0.05). The CD154+ cells were not detectable in fresh isolated CD4+ T cells, but significantly increased after stimulation with specific anti-gens. The population of CD4+, CD154+ T cell subset was significantly reduced in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis, compared with healthy controls with PPD positive reaction(0. 72±0. 32/1.65±0. 76, P <0. 01). Conclusions The population of CD4± ,CD154± T cell subset was significantly reduced in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis, which indicated that it may play an important role in the de-velopment of tuberculosis.
