Objective To investigates the gene expression of telomerase by real-time quantitative telomeric-repeat amplification protocol assay (RTQ-TRAP) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of colorectal carcinoma patients and the relationship between the telomerase gene expression in PBMC and clinicopathological features. Methods Peripheral blood samptes were collected from 71 colorectal carcinoma patients, 20 benign colorectal disease patients and 25 normal controls. The telomerase gene expression in PBMC was measured by RTQ-TRAP, and serum CEA in colorectal carcinoma patients was measured by chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results The gene expression of telomerase in PBMC was positive in 50 out of 71 cancer patients (70. 4% ) , 1 out of benign patients (5. 0% ), respectively. The difference of the telomerase gene expression of PBMC in benign colorectal diseases and cancer patients was significant (χ2 = 24. 521, P < 0. 001 ). There was no significant association between the expression of telomerase and patient's gender, age, Dukes stage, and tumor site. The positive rate of CEA in colorectal carcinoma patients was not significantly higher than positive rate of telomerase gene expression(χ2 = 2. 286,P = 0. 125). Conclusions The RTQ-TRAP method is highly accurate and sensitive in measuring telomerase gene expression. The detection of telomerase gene expression in PBMC of colorectal carcinoma patients is a simple and useful molecular marker for the diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma.

Objective:To explore the effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on the mast cell tryptase (MCT) in asthmatic guinea pigs. Methods:A total of 60 male or female healthy guinea pigs were randomly divided into control group (group A), asthmatic group(group B), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 group(group C), with 20 cases in each group. To establish asthmatic guinea pig models, 1ml peanut oil was filled into stomach in the morning in group A and group B , and 1ml peanut oil with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 was filled into stomach in group C. Airway resistance (Re) of asthmatic guinea pigs was detected, and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells were counted. Lung tissue with HE and MCT immunohistochemical staining were used to observe the pathological changes in lung tissue and the distribution of MCT. Results:After injection of different concentration of acetylcholine chloride, the Re in group B and group C were increased significantly compared with group A (P<0.05);compared with group B, the Re in group C were decreased significantly (t=-5.385, -5.761, -6.184,-13.574, P<0.05);the total number of BALF cells and eosinophils were increased significantly in group B and C (t=19.618, 9.598, 10.854, 5.388, P<0.05);compared with group B, the total number of BALF cells and eosinophils in group C was decreased significantly (t=-5.555,-5.392, P<0.05);the number of tryptase positive cells in group B was increased significantly than that in group A (t=21.312, P<0.05), and in addition to the alveolar septum and submucosa, the cells were also distributed around blood vessels and outside the cells; the number of tryptase positive cells in group C was decreased significantly compared with group B, and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.043, P<0.05). Conclusions:After the asthmatic guinea pigs are treated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, their BALF, Re, infiltration degree of inflammatory cells in the trachea and lung tissue and airway inflammatory reaction are reduced significantly. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3has a certain inhibiting effect on the activation of mast cells and the release of MCT granules.

Objectives To investigate the immune effect of hepatitis B vaccine under the influence of congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection. Methods The newborn rat model of congenital HCMV infection was developed by intra-peritoneally inoculating pregnant rat with HCMV suspension,while the offsprings of healthy rats were used as the control group. Offspring rats in all groups were inoculated with hepatitis B vaccine in the postnatal 1st, 3rd and 5th week and were taken blood from hearts separately in 3rd, 5th, 7th and 11th week. Antibody to Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAb) titer in all groups was de-tected by ELISA method. Results The serum HBsAb titer in both groups all showed a trend of increasing gradually with added vaccinating times and decreased differently with time extending after completed vaccinations. Differences among changes of HBsAb titer along with prolonged time in each group were all statistically significant (P<0.001). At all time points (3rd, 5th, 7th, 11th week), the titer of serum HBsAb in congenital HCMV infection group was lower than that in the control group respectively, and there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Conclusions Congenital HCMV infection could weaken the im-mune effect of hepatitis B vaccine.

Objective:To investigate the effect of JAK2 V617F gene mutation status and burden on BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).Methods:Clinical data of 199 patients with MPN in Cangzhou Central Hospital in Hebei Province from September 2015 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the correlations of JAK2 V617F gene mutation burden with clinicopathological features and prognostic score of MPN patients were analyzed.Results:Of the 199 BCR-ABL-negative MPN patients, 138 patients (69.4%) were positive for JAK2 V617F mutation; of these patients, 64 (88.9%) of 72 patients with polycythemia vera (PV) were mutation-positive, 54 (53.5%) of 101 patients with essential thrombocytosis (ET) were positive, 20 (80.0%) of 25 patients with myelofibrosis (MF) were mutation-positive, and 1 patient with hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) was mutation-positive. About 55.1% (76/138) of patients had a high JAK2 V617F mutation burden. The mutation burden in PV group was the highest, MF was the second, and ET was the lowest; the mutation burdens in these three groups were (73.9±18.3)%, (59.9±25.2)% and (25.0±16.5)%, respectively. Mutation burden was positively correlated with the white blood cell counts of patients with PV, ET and MF ( r values were 0.626, 0.675 and 0.796, all P < 0.01). JAK2 V617F mutation burden was positively correlated with the prognostic scores of patients with PV and ET ( r values were 0.296 and 0.404, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:The JAK2 V617F mutation burden of BCR-ABL-negative MPN patients is related to clinicopathological factors, and the prognosis of patients with high JAK2 V617F mutation burden is poor.

Objective To investigate the schistosomiasis japonica infection and preventive knowledge of immigration popula-tion in Jinshan District,Shanghai so as to provide the evidence for improving the control work. Methods The immigration popula-tion from schistosomiasis endemic provinces and local people were screened by serum IHA screening for schistosome infection, and the positives were further examined by Kato-Katz technique and the miracidium hatching method. The schistosomiasis preven-tive knowledge and behaviors were investigated by questionnaires. Results A total of 579 were investigated with 348 immigration people and 231 local people,and among them,the male accounted for 72.0%and female accounted for 28.0%. In the immigration population,the main age group was 20-29(56.0%),and 56.6%of the immigration had an education level at senior middle school or higher. The most proportion of immigration was from Anhui Province(36.2%). There were 4 IHA positive persons(1.15%)in the immigration,and 1 was positive in the stool test,and the schistosome infection rate was 0.29%. There were no positives in the local people. The schistosomiasis preventive knowledge of the immigration was generally poor,and some people’s behaviors of see doctor and medication were incorrect. Conclusion There are schistosome infected persons among the immigration population from schistosomiasis endemic provinces,and their schistosomiasis prevention knowledge was poor,thus there is a schistosomiasistransmission risk.
