Objective To explore the detection value of peripheral blood human cartilage glycoprotein‐39 in the patients with pri‐mary Sjogren′s syndrome(pSS) .Methods 50 patients with newly diagnosed pSS in our hospital from July 2011 to July 2014 were selected as the pSS group and contemporaneous 50 individuals undergoing physical examination were selected as the normal control group .Venous blood was sampled in all subjects and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ,C‐reactive protein (CRP) ,human cartilage glycoprotein‐39 levels were measured and compared .The lesion number of oral gland lymphocytes and saliva flow rate were checked and compared .Results The pSS group had significantly higher peripheral blood human cartilage glycoprotein‐39 than the normal control group (t=25 .207 ,P<0 .001) .The peripheral blood human cartilage glycoprotein‐39 level in the patients with pSS was positively correlated with the lesion number of oral gland lymphocytes (r=0 .46 ,P=0 .001) ,ESR(r=0 .48 ,P=0 .001) , CRP(r=0 .70 ,P<0 .001) ,RF(r=0 .41 ,P=0 .004) and IgG (r=0 .50 ,P<0 .001) ,and negatively correlated with the saliva flow rate (r= -0 .42 ,P=0 .003) .The eripheral blood human cartilage glycoprotein‐39 level in the patients with pSS and complications was (252 .4 ± 23 .5)μg/L ,which was significantly higher than (174 .6 ± 21 .7) μg/L in the patients without complications (t=11 .678 ,P<0 .001) .Conclusion Human cartilage glycoprotein‐39 can serve as the disease activity index of pSS and its significant increase can prompt that the patient may have complications .Human cartilage glycoprotein‐39 is also an index reflecting the disease condition of pSS objectively and comprehensively and can be widely used in clinic .

GPS was used in the snail survey of Nuanhuping marshland in Poyang Lake region and its application value was discussed. The results suggest that GPS which can measure the marshland area and survey area at real-time and draw electronic maps of snail situation rapidly, could realize the electronic and image management of the data from snail survey and provide more accurate information to the department in charge of schistosomiasis control.
