1.Metabolic syndrome and hepatocellular carcinoma:an advance in epidemiology study
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 1981;0(04):-
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the fifth most common cancer and the third cause of cancer-related death worldwide;meanwhile,it is also one of the fastest growing malignancies.The causes of HCC are multiple;HBV is the most important cause in China,with about 25%-30% of HBV infection patients finally develop hepatic cirrhosis and liver cancer.At present,large scale epidemiological studies revealed that the metabolic syndrome(MS) was closely related to liver cancer,and it even served as an independent risk factor for the occurrence and progression of liver cancer.Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a metabolic syndrome clinically manifested in the liver;recently it has been indicated to be closely related with HCC development and progression.This paper reviews the recent researches on metabolic syndrome and liver cancer,so as to provide literature for preventive and therapeutic studies on non-virus-related liver cancer.

Objective To approach the feasibility of identifying the specific biomarker of ovarian cancer by SELDI TOF mass spectrometry. Methods The relative contents of serum protein of both 24 the patients with ovarian cancer and 56 cases of healthy people were tested by IMAC3 chip and proteinchip reader (CipherGen Inc., VS). Results On the M/Z values ranged from 4000Da to 10000Da, there were six kinds of protein contents in the serum of the were obviously different between the two groups. Among them the serum protein of M/Z value 4472Da may be regarded as a specific biomarker of ovarian cancer. In the learning mode, all the 24 patients and 56 control people were diagnosed and distinguished out correctly, while in the test mode, 23 patients were correctly diagnosed and 56 control people were distinguished out, the total accuracy was 98 75%(79/80), and the sensitivity and specificity were 95 8%(23/24) and 100%(56/56), respectively. Conclusion Ovarian cancer can be quickly and correctly diagnosed by this method with high sensitivity and specificity. That will be widely used in clinical application

Objective To establish a serum protein fingerprinting technique with a pattern matching algorithm to distinguish Dukes A stage from colorectal cancer of Dukes B,C,D stage. Methods Serum samples were collected from both reserved group and test group, each of the groups comprised 10 patients of colorectal cancer in Dukes A stage and 68 patients in Dukes B,C,D stage. The sera of the reserved group was combined with the surface of the IMAC3 proteinchip. Then the data of SELDI TOF MS was read and analyzed by BioMarker Wizard software and BioMarker Pattern software to get a classificatory pedigree tree, which is a standard configuration that can distinguish the sera of colorectal cancer patients of Dukes A from colorectal cancer patients of Dukes B,C,D, and the standard was confirmed by double blind test in the test group. Results At the M/Z values of 8 320 Da, 8 604Da, 8 867Da and 15 872Da, the protein contents in reserved group are obviously different between the two classes of patients. The accuracy of classification was 97 4%(76/78), corresponding sensitivity was 100%(10/10) and corresponding specificity was 97 1%(66/68). By double blind examination in test group, the corresponding accuracy was 100%(10/10), the corresponding sensitivity was 94 1%(64/68) and the corresponding specificity was 94 1%(64/68). Conclusion Colorectal cancer of Dukes A can be quickly and exactly diagnosed by this method with high sensitivity and specificity. That will be widely used in clinical application

Methods The relative contents of serum proteins were detected of 38 patients with gastric cancer and 82 healthy people by IMAC3 (CipherGen Inc.) chip and proteinchip. Results At the M/Z values range from 1 723Da to 14 048Da, 18 kind of protein contents are obviously different between the two groups. In the learning mode, all the 120 testers were correctly distinguished, both the sensitivity and specificity reached to 100%. While in the test mode, 31 patients and 81 control people were correctly distinguished, the accuracy were 81 6%(31/38) and 98 8%(81/82), respectively. Conclusion Gastric cancer can be quickly and exactly diagnosed by this method with high sensitivity and specificity. That will be widely used in clinical application

The expression cDNA library of A. tabescens was constructed by SMART technique, which useλTriplEx2 as a vector. The titer and the percentage of the constructed library were about 1.0 × 106pfu/mland 98.3% respectively, and the titer and the capacity of the amplified library were about 3.1 × 108pfu/mland 4.2 × 1010. The library was used to provide expressed sequence tags (ESTs). 147 Expressed SequenceTaqs (ESTs) were gained from 176 clones, which were selected randomly and sequenced at the 5'end. Thesequences were submitted to the EMBL database. Blasting the sequences in the GenBank, 43 of them werefound that they have significant similarity with data in GenBank. EST AJ620046 was has significantsimilarity with the arabinosidase of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. Using SMART-RACE a full-length cDNA ofAJ620046 was successfully obtained. In order to initially characterize the biochemical properties ofAJ620046, the ORF of AJ620046 named AF was cloned and expressed in Pichia Pastoris yeast.Recombinant pHIL-S1-AF constructed by inserting AF into pHIL-S1 was transformed into Pichia PastorisGS115. Preliminary experiments indicated that AJ620046 was expressed as a 32 kDa protein in recombinantyeast.

Objective To investigate health beliefs and fluid status in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients, to explore the relation between fluid status and health beliefs in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods The data were collected from the peritoneal dialysis center in Ningxia Medical University General Hospital from January 2014 through January 2015. A total of 64 diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients were recruited and investigated with health beliefs scale, fluid status and laboratory index, the influencing factors were analyzed with Logistic regression. Results Levels of perceived barriers in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients was the lowest. The score of perceived barriers, levels of albumin and daily water intake in pedal edema diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients were 35.34±10.31, (29.90±4.51) g/L,(860.34±516.71) ml/d, and the results in the non-pedal edema patients were 31.67±12.47, (32.72±6.87) g/L, (872.22±271.85) ml/d, the difference was significant (t=-1.99,2.09,-3.07, P<0.05 or 0.01). Perceived barriers in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients was positively correlated with edematous level (r=0.16,P<0.05) and perceived capacity balancing was negatively correlated with edematous level (r=-0.25,P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that marital status,dialysis age,daily water intake and perceived barriers were the main factors influencing fluid control in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients. Conclusions Fluid control in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients is affected by their health beliefs, this indicates that diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients must have insufficient awareness of fluid status and fluid adherence. It is suggested that they should establish comprehensive health beliefs.
