005), while iron overload occurred in 8 of 57 cases of ?-thalassemia (14.0%) and 89 out of 386 cases of ?-thalassemia (23.1%). Although the occurrence rate of iron overload in ?-thalassemia appeared higher than that in ?-thalassemia, no significant difference existed. Homozygote ?-thalassemia was prone to iron overload, followed by non-deletion HbH diseases, at the occurrence rate of 79.2% and 27.3% respectively. Iron deficiency was inclined to be associated with silent ?-thalassemia at the occurrence rate of 45.5%, followed by heterozygote ?-thalassemia (30.3%). Conclusion Both iron overload and iron deficiency can be found in thalassemia. Therefore, special treatments should be carried out according to given cases.

Objective To appraise the clinical therapeutic effects of lamivudine in patients with chronic hepatitis B, and the recurrence of the disease after withdrawal of the drug. Method 122 patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with lamivudine were followed-up for over half a year after withdrawal. Result It was shown that, among the 9 cases in immunological tolerance stage and received lamivudine treatment, 4 showed effective result and ineffective in 5. All the 4 patients with effective result recurred within 6 months after lamivudine withdrawal. Among the 113 patients in non-immunological tolerance, 13 showed notable effective result (11.50%), 90 effective (79.65%) and 10 showed ineffective result (8.85%), respectively. The disease in 11 patients showing effective result recurred during the treatment. The rate of recurrence was 53.85% and 87.34% respectively in patients with notable effective and effective results. The level of ALT before lamivudine treatment showed no significant difference between the patients with abrupt and gradual withdrawal of lamivudine treatment, but it was significantly different after lamivudine withdrawal. The rate of recurrence showed no significant difference between patients with abrupt and gradual withdrawal of the drug. Conclusion The therapeutic effect of lamivudine is poor in immunological tolerant patients. Patients with chronic hepatitis B are likely to recur after lamivudine withdrawal. Lamivudine should be given for a long-term to inhibit persistent HBVDNA replication.

There exist all kinds of corrupt behaviors in the fields of scienceat present, which result not only from the ethics of editors and legal supervision, but also from the institutional cause. To counter this phenomenon, this article analyzed current situation and the reason of academic corruption by literature and brought forward the conclusion that how to strengthen system control against academic corruption. The scientific research management should make polices and rules for anti -academic corruption, including defining,allegation, prevention and sanction, etc.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of transjugular liver biopsy( TJLB) by using the LABS 200 liver access and biopsy set ( Cook Inc, USA) .Methods Five minipigs were operated though TJLB puncture under the imaging guidance.The liver biopsies were analyzed by histological examination.Results Technical success of TJLB was achieved in all the 5 minipigs.No procedure-related complications occurred, and sufficient amount of specimen for histological examination was obtained in all cases.Conclusions Our preliminary results indicate that transjugular liver biopsy with the use of Cook LABS 200 liver access and biopsy set is clinically safe and feasible, and provide technical support for its clinical application.

OBJECTIVE To study the HBV-DNA level and its replication with only HBsAb positive for transplantation. METHODS Serial serum samples were studied with the quantitative determination of HBV-DNA by a quantitative PCR assay and determination of HBsAb by ELISA. RESULTS The positive rate of HBV-DNA was 8.4% in the patients with only HBsAb positive and that was 11.11% in the patients who had not been injected with vaccine;the level of HBV-DNA in 11 samples was less than 10~4 copies/ml and five samples showed the amount between 10~4-10~6 copies/ml.The positive rate of HBV-DNA was 8.4% in the patients with only HBsAb positive and that was 11.11% in the patients who had not been injected with vaccine;the level of HBV-DNA in 11 samples was less than 10~4 copies/ml and five samples showed the level between 10~4-10~6 copies/ml. CONCLUSIONS Patients with only HBsAb positive are still infective,which should be paid attention in transplantation.

Objective To develop and verify an influenza A virus antigen-detecting kit which can detect all the subtypes of influenza A virus. Methods Double-antibodies sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was utilized for developing the influenza A virus antigen-detecting kit. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and stability of the kit were evaluated by the clinical samples. Results The lower detection limit of the kit for the N protein was 7. 63 ng/mL, which was 256 times lower than that of the hemagglutination and 16 times lower than that of immune colloidal gold technique. The kit didn't show any cross-reaction with the influenza B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, respiratory adenovirus, para-influenza virus type Ⅰ and Ⅲ, mycoplasma pneumomiae, avian newcastle disease virus, avian infectious bursal disease virus or avian infectious bronchitis virus. The specificity was 100%. Both the intra batch variaton coefficient (CV) value and inter batch CV value were less than 15%, which met the national standard for ELISA kits. The results proved that the kit could keep stable at 4 ℃ for more than 1 year and at 37 ℃ for more than 7 days. The kit could identify H1N1, H3N2, H5N1 and H9N2 influenza A viruses. The clinical research data of human influenza virus showed the consistency rate between the kit and regular cell culture method was 93. 44% for the positive samples and 99. 31% for the negative samples. The clinical research data of avian influenzavirus showed the consistency rate between the kit and regular cell culture method was 95. 45% for positive samples and 98. 09% for negative samples. Conclusion The influenza A virus antigen-detecting ELISA kit can be used for the epidemiological survey of the infection of human influenza A virus or avian influenza virus with high sensitivity and specificity.

Objective To explore the risk factors causing tetany in patients with hyperventilation syndrome. Meth?ods A total of 103 patients with hyperventilation syndrome treated in our hospital were included in this study. According to whether there was tetany, patients were divided into tetany group and non-tetany group. Values of gender, age, electrolyte, pH and p(CO2) were analysed between two groups. The factors of P<0.1 were engaged in binary Logistic regression. Logistic regression (Forward Wald) was used to analyze the risk factors of tetany in patients with hyperventilation syndrome. Re?sults In 103 patients there were 70 patients with tetany (68%), 33 patients without tetany(32%). The serum K+, serum phos?phorus and p(CO2) values were significantly lower in tetany group than those of non-tetany group (P<0.01), while the pH value was significantly higher in tetany group than those of non-tetany group (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in gen?der, age, serum Na+, serum Cl-, serum calcium (bound calcium and ionized calcium), ionized calcium and serum Mg2+levels be?tween two groups (P>0.05). It was revealed that the younger age, the lower level of the serum K+, serum phosphorus and p(CO2) were the risk factors of tetany through binary Logistic regression analysis. Conclusion The risk factors of tetany in patients with hyperventilation syndrome include younger age, lower level of serum K+and serum phosphorus and reduced p(CO2).
