Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2014;(5):147-148,151
Objective To provide the theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the related diseases by the com-parative analysis of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)and thyroid hormone (TH)[three iodine thyroid glycine (T3),thyroxine (T4),three free iodine thyroid former glycine (FT3)and free thyroxine (FT4)]levels between early preg-nant women and non-pregnant healthy women of childbearing age.Method Examined in the outpatient department of Yan’ an University Affiliated Hospital during 2013 November~2014 March,171 healthy women in 4~13 weeks of pregnancy were regarded as the observation group.In addition,149 non pregnant healthy women of childbearing age were regarded as the control group,who got physical examination in the hospital.The inclusion criteria were:no thyroid diseases history;no living history in local thyroid tumorarea;excluding the abnormal functionof thyroid diseases after history investigation and relevant examination.The detection method of serum TSH,T3,T4,FT3 and FT4 was the direct chemiluminescence assay. With reference of serum TSH and TH levels of the non-pregnant healthy women of childbearing age,the change of serum TSH and TH levels of early pregnant women was observed.Results Comparing the two groups,the pregnant women’s TSH level [1.97(1.17~2.65)mU/L],the non-pregnant women’s TSH level [2.42(1.73~3.58)mU/L],the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).The pregnant women’s serum T3 level [1.94(1.58~2.37)nmol/L]and T4 level [131.00 (111.60~147.80)nmol/L],the non-pregnant women’s T3 level [1.55 (1.37~1.86)nmol/L]and T4 level [109.30(94.95~122.90)nmol/L],the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).The pregnant women’s serum FT3 level [4.73(4.44~4.94)pmol/L]and FT4 level [14.88(13.83~16.33)pmol/L],the non-pregnant women’s FT3 lev-el [4.70(4.37~5.01)pmol/L]and FT4 level [15.06(13.54~17.35)pmol/L],they have no significant difference (P>0.05).Conclusion Serum TSH and TH levels of women in the first trimester of pregnancy have different degrees of chan-ges.Therefore,thyroid function testing is necessary for pregnant women during childbirth examination.It can avoid the women and offspring from negative influence of pregnancy women with abnormal thyroid function and achieve the goal of eu-genics.

International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(12):1545-1546,1549
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of combined detection of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),car-bohydrate antigen 199 (CA199)and carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724)for the diagnosis of gastric cancer.Methods Plasma levels of CEA,CA199 and CA724 were detected by using electrochemiluminescence in 95 patients with gastric cancer,63 patients with be-nign gastric diseases and 101 healthy subjects.Results Levels and positive rates of CEA,CA199 and CA724 in gastric cancer group were significantly higher than healthy control group (P<0.05).Levels and positive rates of CEA and CA724 in gastric cancer group were significantly higher than benign gastric diseases group (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference of level and positive rate of CA199 between gastric cancer group and benign gastric diseases group(P>0.05).The sensitivity of com-bined detection was obviously higher than any single detection or combined detection of two indexesConclusion Combined detection of the three tumor markers could improve the diagnostic sensitivity and coincidence rate,which have practical diagnostic value for gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the cognition of nurse groups toward nurses' dual practice,and to analyze nurses' tendency to pursuc dual practice and its influencing factors.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted,and 1010 registered nurses were recruited using stratified sampling method.Results Most (76.4%) nurses agreed with nurses' dual practice.The willingness about nurses' dual practice was significantly different(P=0.022,P=0.008) due to different age and length of service.The top three benefits of nurses' dual practice were to increase reasonable salary of nurses,improve quality of nursing care in community institutions for the aged and increase the utilization of health care resource.As for the disadvantages,disrupting the medical and nursing order,increasing difficulties of management and government's supervision,increasing medical risks.Nurses believed that the main obstacles for nurses' dual practice were the unclear medical risks and the unprotected nurses' interests.Conclusion The nurse groups had a positive and optimistic attitude towards nurses' dual practice.In the case that the government implements relevant laws and regulations,and the interests of nurses are well-guaranteed,nurses' dual practice is a good measure that can improve nurses' work motivation.

Objective To investigate the value of MRI diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) technique in endocrine therapy for prostate cancer (PCa) based on PI-RADSv2.1. Methods A retrospective analysis of 57 patients with pathologically confirmed PCa was conducted. All patients underwent multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) according to PI-RADS v2.1 technical specifications before biopsy and six months after endocrine therapy. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were measured in cancer and non-cancer areas before biopsy and six months after endocrine therapy. Patients were grouped based on the mRECIST criteria and PSA level into responders (

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of endovascular embolization in the treatment of traumatic carotid cavernous fistula (TCCF) and the influencing factors of outcomes.Methods:Patients with Barrow A type TCCF underwent intravascular embolization in the Department of Neurosurgery, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2009 to November 2019 were enrolled. They were treated with detachable balloons or Onyx-18 combined with coils via transarterial approach, and clinical and imaging follow-up were performed after operation. Recurrence was defined as a lesion that was completely embolized immediately, but the original fistula was redeveloped during imaging follow-up. The clinical recovery was defined as the disappearance of intracranial vascular murmur, pulsatile exophthalmos, conjunctival hyperemia and edema, the movement of eyeball without disorder and the restoration of vision loss. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for affecting imaging recurrence and clinical recovery. Results:A total of 54 patients with Barrow A type TCCF were enrolled. Their age was 42.5±10.6 years (range, 28-70 years); 36 were male (66.7%). Clinical manifestations: 40 patients (74.1%) had ocular symptoms (exophthalmos, conjunctival congestion, etc.), 35 (64.8%) had intracranial vascular murmur, 36 (66.7%) had visual impairment (decreased vision, visual field defect), 32 (59.3%) had headache, 15 (28.3%) had abducens nerve palsy, and 4 (9.1%) had epistaxis. Fourty-seven patients (87.0%) had superior ophthalmic vein drainage, 19 (35.2%) had superior and inferior petrosal sinus drainage, and 9 (16.7%) had cortical vein drainage. Twenty-eight patients (51.9%) were treated with Onyx-18 combined with coils, and 26 (48.1%) were treated with detachable balloons. After operation, 47 patients (87.0%) were immediately totally embobilized, 4 of them were totally embolized with Onyx-18 and coils after the failure of balloon embolization; 7 patients (13.0%) achieved subtotal embolization. Forty-seven patients (87.0%) recovered after surgery, and the symptoms of 4 patients were better than before admission but the vision did not fully recover (among them, 3 had the symptoms of abducens nerve palsy), 2 had mild hemiplegia, and no patients died after surgery. At postoperative follow-up, 5 (9.3%) recurred, and then they achieved total embolization with Onyx-18 combined with coils. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that subtotal embolization was an independent risk factor for postoperative imaging recurrence (odds ratio 16.63, 95% confidence interval 1.74-159.33; P=0.015), and the presence of cortical venous drainage was an independent risk factor for affecting postoperative clinical recovery (odds ratio 19.08, 95% confidence interval 1.61-226.58; P=0.020). Conclusion:Both of Onyx-18 combined with coils and detachable balloons are safe and effective for the treatment of TCCF. Subtotal embolization is associated with imaging recurrence, and the presence of cortical venous drainage is an independent influencing factor of clinical recovery.
