Objective To evaluate the clinical application of partial splenic embolization in the treatment o hypersplenism caused by schistosomiasis. Methods Twenty four patients with hypersplenism caused by schistosomiasis were treated with peripheral partly splenic embolization with gelf.oam. The counts of white blood cell(WBC) and platelet (PLT) were compared between pre-and post-splenic embolization. Results The extent of splenic embolization were 50% - 75%(mean 59.24%) with post-therapeutic follow-up of 6 months ~ 2 years, showing significant increase of WBC count with preoperative, peak and the latest follow-up counts as (2.15?0.67)?109/L, (12.36?3.24)?109/L and (5.65?1.38)?109/L respectively(t = 11.08, P

Objective To study application of the quality management of Blood Cell Analyzer according to the requirement of biological variation determination.Methods Collected the indoor imprecision value(CV％) from 8 items detected by blood cell analyzer during from April to Nov.of 2016,and the bias (Bias％) of 8 items of two EQA (external quality assessment) from the ministry of health in 2016.Then according to the 3 levels of the minium,appropriate and optimal quality specifications derived from the biological variability the rates of imprecision and bias were culculated.The pass rate of the imprecision and bias was calculated.By using mean bias and mean imprecision and biological variation 3 levels of total error (TEa) crite rion,and to calculate the corresponding σ and QGI value,so as to evaluate the performance of whole blood cell analyzer.Then improved the quality.Results For the imprecision value of 8 items,except the MCHC average value,all others were all 100 ％ meeting the appropriate level of quality requirements.For the bias value (Bias ％) from 8 items,except MCH,all others were over 80 ％ meeting the appropriate level of quality requirements.While for the calculated σ value,based on the best level of quality requirements,except the σ value of WBC was 4.6,the σ value of all other items were all＜3.Based on the appropriate level of quality requirements,except the σvalue of MCHC was 1.9,the value of σ of all other items were all＞ 3,and based on the minimal requirements,the σ value of all 8 items were all ＞3.After analysis,this blood cell analyzer,except that MCHC should use the minimal quality standard requirements,all other examination items could used the proper quality standard requirements,and the calculated QGI were all ＜0.8.Conclusion Based on the biological variation determination requirement and calculated σ and QGI value,this method could be used to more accurate quality evaluation of blood cell ana lyzer.Which is a higher levelof quality management,will be more conducive to quality improvement and better serve the clinical.

Duck circovirus(DuCV),a potential immunosuppressive virus,was investigated in Southern China from March 2006 to December 2009 by using a polymerase chain reaction(PCR)based method. In this study,a total of 138 sick or dead duck samples from 18 different farms were examined with an average DuCV infection rate of～35%. It was found that ducks between the ages of 40～60 days were more susceptible to DuCV. There was no evidence showing that the DuCV virus was capable of vertical transmission. Farms with positive PCR results exhibited no regularly apparent clinical abnormalities such as feathering disorders,growth retardation or lower-than-average weight. The complete genomes of 9. strains from Fujian Province and 1 from Zhejiang Province were sequenced and analyzed. The 10 DuCV genomes,compared with others genomes downloaded from GenBank,ranged in size from 1988 to 1996 base pairs,with sequence identities ranging from 83.2% to 99.8%. Phylogenetic analysis based on genome sequences demonstrated that DuCVs can be divided into two distinct genetic genotypes,Group I(the Euro-USA lineage)and Group II(the Taiwan lineage),with approximately 10.0% genetic difference between the two types. Molecular epidemiological data suggest there is no obvious difference among DuCV strains isolated from different geographic locations or different species,including Duck,Muscovy duck,Mule duck,Cheery duck,Mulard duck and Pekin duck.

Objective To explore the clinicopathologic features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of ACTH-independent subclinical Cushing syndrome caused by cortisol-secreting and hypo-androgen black adrenal cortical adenomas with lipomatous metaplasis.Methods The clinical and pathologic features of 1 patient presented with hypo-androgen and atypical signs and symptoms of Cushing syndrome were reported.The patient's 24 h UFC (235.62 μg) was higher than normal range,his plasma ACTH concentrations (＜1.1 pmol/L,was lower than normal range and his serum cortisol concentrations lacked diurnal rhythm.There was absence of serum cortisol suppression in overnight dexamethasone suppression tests.Serum levels of androgens (1.2 nmol/L) were lower than normal range.24 h urine catecholamine was normal,NE was 160.5 nmol/24 h (5-591 nmol/24 h),E was 23.1 nmol/24 h (0-82 nmol/24 h),DA was 1496nmol/24 h (424-2612 nmol/24 h).Aldosterone lying and standing test:ALD1 138-415 pmol/L,AT-Ⅱ1 64.54 ng/L,PRA1 0.80 μg · L-1 · h-1 Abdomen CT showed right adrenal mass (3.1 cm).131Ⅰ-MIBG scanning was normal.Adrenocortical carcinoma was considered as a possible diagnosis based on cortisol hypersecretion,hypo-androgen and the imaging characteristics.This patient accepted laparoscopic adrenal adenoma resection.Results The adrenal tumor size was 3.5 cm.Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining showed Melan-A,CgA,α-inhibin and Syn positive and Ki-67 ＜ 1％.Histopathologic results showed black adrenal cortical adenomas with myelolipomatous change.After surgery,patient's serum androgen was normal,and the signs and symptoms of Cushing syndrome and oligo-androgen disappeared.There was recurrence after 1.5 years follow-up.Conclusions Although most patients with corticotropin-independent Cushing syndrome associated with abnormal androgen proved to have adrenocortical carcinoma,the clinician should be aware of the possibility of benign,black adrenal adenoma.

Totally 79 obese children and 64 children with normal body weight were included in the present study.Serum apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) and leptin levels were determined by ELISA and fasting insulin by RIA.The clinical data including height,body weight,waist circumference,blood pressure,blood lipid,blood glucose,etc,were collected.Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated.The results showed that compared with normal weight children,both serum leptin and insulin levels were significantly raised in obese children [19.15 (13.01 ～ 25.08) ng/ml vs 3.29 (1.45 ～ 6.02) ng/ml and 15.44 (12.05 ～ 20.26) μg/L vs 10.12 (8.60 ～ 12.60) μg/L,both P＜0.01],while ApoA5 level was significantly lowered [134.5 (105.9 ～ 172.7) ng/ml vs 2005.9(164.3 ～ 265.3) ng/ml,P＜0.01].Serum ApoA5 was negatively correlated with serum leptin and insulin (both P＜0.01).

Objective To detect the expression level of human zinc finger 23 (ZNF23) in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue samples and HepG2 cell lines and investigate the relationship between hZNF23 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of HCC and cell apoptosis. Methods The expression levels of hZNF23 and GAPDH mRNA in 37 cases of HCC were measured by real-time RT-PCR. The association between the expression of hZNF23 and the clinicopathological characteristics of HCC was analyzed. Cultured HepG2 cells were divided into 4 groups ( control group, 1.25 μg/ml , 2.5 μg/ml and 5 μg/ml cisplatin)or 6 groups( control group, 1.25 μg/ml, 2.5 μg/ml, 5 μg/ml, 10 μg/ml and 20 μg/ml cisplatin). MTT method was employed to evaluate cell proliferation. Annexin V-FITC assay was used to assess percentage of apoptotic HepG2 cells. The expression levels of hZNF23 and GAPDH mRNA of HepG2 cells after apoptosis induced by cisplatin with a series of concentrations were measured by real-time RT-PCR.Results The median ( quartile1, quartile 3) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in 37 HCC tissue samples and adjacent tissue samples were 8.84 (3.59-15.05), 22.20 ( 13.85-42.90 ), respectively. There was significant difference ( U = 259.5, P ＜ 0.01 ). The median ( quartile1, quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in cancer tissue samples with Edmondson stage Ⅰ + Ⅱ [12.80(4.80-19.50)] was much higher than those in stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ [5.01 ( 2.88-11.68 ), U = 99.00, P ＜ 0.05] The median ( quartile1,quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in patients with and without hepatic cirrhosis were 9.92(3.80-15.25) , 3.21 (2.78-3.60), respectively. The median ( quartile1, quartile 3 ) expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in HBV infection and non-infection patients was 9.09(3.72-15.25 ), 2.48 (1.79-12.10),respectively. There was no significant difference between groups with and without hepatic cirrhosis and between HBV infection and non-infection groups( U = 16. 00 and 24.00, P ＞0.05 ). MTT assay indicated that cisplatin significantly inhibited HepG2 cells proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Annexin V-FITC/PI assay showed that HepG2 cells apoptosis rates were (0.9 ± 0.2 ) %, ( 4. 2 ± 0.3 ) %, ( 9.8 ± 4. 3 ) %,(23.0 ± 6.0)%, respectively. Cisplatin significantly induced HepG2 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner( F = 27.89, P ＜ 0.01 ). The expression levels of hZNF23 mRNA in cisplatin groups [( 10.39 ±3.08) × 10-5, (24.10 ± 2.09) × 10-5, (6.90 ± 2.24) × 10-4] were significantly lower than that of the controlgroup[(94.80±1.80) ×10-5, F=6.027, P＜0.01]. Conclusions The expression level hZNF23 mRNA is related to Edmondson stage of HCC. The apoptosis effect of cisplatin on HepG2 cells may be associated with the upregulation of hZNF23.
