Objective To establish an appropriate cut-off value of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and optimal combination measurement in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods This research is a prospective study.342 patients admitted to emergency department with chest pain,43 patients with renal failure,40 patients with pneumonia and 18 premature with patent ductus arteriosus were involved from June 2012 to June 2013 in Peking University Third Hospital.The plasma hs-TnT,NT-proBNP,cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI),CK-MB and copeptin were measured.The distribution of hs-cTnT among associated diseases was analyzed,the diagnostic performance of hs-cTnT and the role of combination hs-cTnT with NT-proBNP,CK-MB and copeptin were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.The statistical method was used to calculate the Sensitivity,specificity,negative predictive value and positive predictive value of hs-cTnT in the diagnosis of AMI.Results As compared to patients with STEMI(median 0.52 μg/L,range 0.037-7.610 μg/L),hs-cTnT was lower in the patients with Non-STEMI(median 0.127 5 μg/L,range 0.021-4.260 μg/L).However,the levels of hs-TnT in other diseases were also increased increased in varyng degrees (Chi-square =76.432,P < 0.05)The areas under the curve (AUC) for hs-cTnT and cTnI in the diagnosis of AMI were 0.862 (95% CI:0.729-0.928) and 0.748 (95% CI0.666-0.818) respectively (Z =2.713,P < 0.05).Taking 0.014μg/L and 0.035 μg/L as cut-off value of hs-TNT,the sensitivities were 100% vs 95.1%,the specificities were 44.4% vs 65.7%.The combination of hs-cTnT,NT-proBNP,CK-MB resulted in a increase in AUC (0.915,95% CI:0.838-0.964) (Z =2.147,P < 0.05) and the combination of hs-cTnT and copeptin resulted in a increase in AUC 0.921 (95% CI:0.820-0.975) (Z =2.589,P < 0.05).Conclusion With the cut-off value of 0.035 μg/L for diagnosis of AMI was appropriate,and the combination measurement can improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of AMI.

A sensitive method was developed for the determination of pacific ciguatoxin (P-CTX1) residue in fishes by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry ( HPLC-MS/MS). Homogenized samples of fish was extracted with acetone,degreased by freezing under -20℃ and filtered with filter paper. Then the supernatant was cleaned up with PSA column. Identification was achieved by electrospray ionization (ESI) in positive mode using multiple reaction monitoring. The calibration curve of P-CTX1 showed good linearity in the range of 0.5 -20μg/L with correlation coefficient of 0.9998. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0. 1 mg/L( S/N = 10). The recoveries of P-CTX1 were between 82. 3% and 87. 2% (n =7) at spiked levels of 1.0 -20.0 ng/kg. The relative standard derivations( RSD) of the method were less than 7.8%.

Objective To establish human choriocarcinoma JeG-3 cell line resistant to floxuridine (FUDR)and describe the characteristics of this FUDR-resistant subline.The thymidylate synthase (TS) expression level in FUDR-resistant subline was also discussed.Methods The FUDR-resistant sub-line JeG-3/FUDRA was established by intermitted exposure to grads increased FUDR.Reversed microscope was used to observe the morphological changes in FUDR-resistant sub-line.Population doubling time was calculated and compared based on the growth curve of these two cell lines,cell cycles and chromosomal ploidy were assayed with flow cytometry methods.The chemo-luminescence assay was used to detect the hormone secretion by two kinds of cell lines.The resistant index (RI) was measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8)assay.Quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of TS and we also detected the TS mRNA expression level in different doses exposed subline.Results The RI of JeG-3/FUDRA was 31.62.Compared with the JeG-3 cell,the FUDR-resistant cell line had gross changes in morphological,cell growth,cell cycles and chromosomal numbers.The ability of human chorionic gonadotrop(hCG) and progesterone secretion was lower in JeG-3/FUDRA subline.The trend of TS mRNA expression was:while exposed to low concentration of FUDR,the TS mRNA expression level was downregulated,then followed the increasing dose of the drug,the expression level of TS mRNA ascended gradually.When the terminal concentration was reached,the expression level of TS mRNA in JeG-3/FUDRA subline was higher than that of JeG-3 cell line (P<0.05).Conclusions We established the FUDR-resistant subline of JeG-3 successfully.The TS mRNA expression level is stage-related to the different concentration and different phase in FUDR exposure.Our data suggested that TS mRNA expression level may not be used as a biomarker to predict the chemosensitivity in FUDR-based chemotherapy.

Objective Through performance analysis of domestic red blood cells folic acid instrument to verify its testing ability. Methods According to national committee for clinical laboratory standards(NCCLS)EP5-A2,the precision was obtained through two level quality product detection within 20 days then the intra-assay variation coefficient(CV),inter-assay CV and CV in labora-tory was calculated and compared with the precision requirement coming from the red blood cells folic acid biological variation.Ac-cording to EP6-A,the linear evaluation was investigated with method of polynomial regression.By measuring the red blood cells fo-lic acid from 20 persons who presented the total healthy people,the reference scope given by the manufacturer was verified.Results Within the group CV was less than 6.67%(1/4 of biological variation allow total error),between the group CV was less than 8.90%(1/3 of biological variation allow total error),the laboratory CV was less than 13.35%(1/2 of biological variation allow to-tal error).At medical decision level,the calculated bias and the confidence limit were smaller than the allow range of error.Both fac-tors of quadratic polynomial and cubic polynomial regression models were not statistically significant compared with zero,so detec-tion system was linear.The reference scope given by manufacturer was not suitable for the local people.Conclusion The precision, accuracy and linearity of domestic red blood cells folic acid analyzer were accord with requirements.The laboratory should establish reference interval suitable for the local population.
