ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate CA125 and ALDH1 levels in diagnosis and postoperative follow‐up of endometriosis (EMs) .Methods Serum CA125 and ALDH1 levels were tested by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 105 patients with EMs and 100 healthy subjects who came to our hospital between January 2011 and June 2013 .Results The preoperative serum CA125 and ALDH1 levels of EMs patients were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0 .05) .Serum ALDH1 levels in stages I and II of EMs were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0 .05) ,but there was no difference in serum CA125 level between the two groups ( P>0 .05) .Taking CA125≥35 U/mL and ALDH1≥2 .0 pg/mL as the boundary values ,the specificity , sensitivity ,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of serum CA 125 combined with ALDH1 for diagnosis of EMs were 87 .1% ,91 .6% ,84 .6% and 89 .3% ,respectively .One month after operation ,serum CA125 and ALDH1 levels of EMs patients were decreased significantly (P<0 .05) ,but they were still higher than those in the control group ( P<0 .05) .Six months after operation ,their serum CA125 and ALDH1 levels did not differ from those in the control group (P>0 .05) .Relapse occurred in 1 patient 1 year after treatment and in 6 patients 2 years after treatment ;all these patients had a higher serum ALDH1 level than the control group ,but only 2 of them had a higher serum CA125 level .Conclusion The combined detection of serum CA125 and ALDH1 has a higher sensitivity in diagnosis of EMs .Serum ALDH1 level increases in stages Ⅰ and Ⅱ and recurrent patients and can become a better serum marker for early diagnosis and detection of the recurrence of EMs in patients .

Objective To study the possible protective mechanisms of Anisodamine against liver injury induced by hemorrhage shock(HS). Methods In this study, we established animal models induced by HS and endotoxin, observed the expressions of NF-?B mRNA and heat shock protein 70(HSP 70) mRNA by In-situ hybridization (ISH) in liver kupffercells(KC) and studied the pathologic changes of the liver tissue by microscope. Results After stimulus of HS and injection of endotoxin, the mRNA expressions of HSP70 and NF-?B in KC were (0.1565?0.0260) and (0.1659?0.0103),respectively, and significantly higher than those in the control group (0.0328?0.0201; 0.0256?0.0043)(P

ObjectiveTo explore the renal functions of vasopressin-deficient Brattleboro(BB) rats by using different concentrated Gadolinium-diethylenetetramine pentaacetic acid(Gd-DTPA) dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).MethodsThe study included 14 BB rats(male rats of 3 month-old) and 14 normal male Wistar rats used as control group.Dynamic MRI was performed by using either a low dosage(0.05 mmol/kg) or a high dosage of Gd-DTPA(0.5 mmol/kg).Data of 0-60 min renal cortex,medulla and pelvic were obtained after using contrast medium.MRI of kidneys at different time was analyzed and the mean relative signal intensity(RSI) was measured.Then the RSI curves of different groups were marked.Data of each group were caculated separately by SPSS 11.0 software.ResultsThe findings demonstrated that RSI curves of the vasopressin-deficient kidneys showed different patterns as compared with those of the control group(P

Dengue virus (DENV) is a re-emerging disease transmitted by the Aedes mosquitoes and has become a major public health problem in southern China. Currently, no antiviral drug or effective vaccine exist to control this disease. The chimeric DENV structural protein vaccine cannot elicit balanced levels of protective immunity to each of the four viral serotypes; therefore, non-structural protein components may be required to construct an effective DENV vaccine. The Dengue virus non-structural 1 (DENV NS1) protein plays a critical role in viral pathogenesis and protective immunity. Therefore, immunity to Dengue 1-4 NS1 subtypes may be crucial for the prevention of severe disease. This review attempts to provide an overview about the structure and function of DENV NS1.

Objective To analyze the hospitalization expenses of cancer patients covered with byitem payment and quota payment packages,and probe into the impacts on such expenses for the two payment packages.Methods Inpatient records of 600 cancer patients were sampled by random from the medical insurance databases of Zhengzhou and Fuzhou to learn their hospitalization expenses and impact factors.Results Under the by-item payment package,the expenses of urban workers’ medical insurance were found higher than those of urban residents' medical insurance,with a per capita expense of RMB 32747.70 ± 32035.01 and 23035.83 ± 22875.65 respectively.Under the quota payment package however,there were no significant differences between expenses of the two kinds of inpatients,with a per capita expense of RMB 66043.41±47562.09 and 66576.54±73417.29 respectively.Conclusion There are gaps of reimbursement level between the two basic insurance schemes,which may not disappear in a short time.Under the by-item payment package,the gap exists in the difference of perreimbursement amount; under the quota payment package,the gap is negligible between the two populations under different insurance schemes.It is recommended to make reasonable use of these different payment schemes to minimize the relative gaps in medical service accessibility caused by the difference in reimbursement level.

Objective To understand the present situation of the rate of carry genetic defect in Unmarried young men with thalassaemia in Shenzhen,which will provide a scientific basis for correct mating.Methods Randomly selected 6 182 cases of unmarried young people from March 2014 to October 2015 to hospital physical examination,Used Sysmex XN-9000 auto-matic blood cell sextant and erythrocyte osmotic fragility test to sccreen preliminarily for globin generation barrier anemia. The average red blood cell volume (MCV)≤82 fl and the average content of red blood cell (MCH)≤27 pg or osmotic fra-gility of red blood cells rate<60% of the population was made hemoglobin electrophoresis analysis.To early screening posi-tive by PCR,it was done reverse dot hybridization method for gene diagnosis,and the results were analyzed.Results 6 182 cases of unmarried young men at the beginning of globin generation barrier anemia screen positive rate was 17.3% (1 069/6 182),including suspectedα-was 12.2% (752/6 182)and suspiciousβ-was 5.1% (317/6 182).Gene diagnosis of globin generation barrier anemia positive rate was 11.6% (717/6 182),theα-was 6.7% (413/6 182),β-was 3.4% (209/6 182) and compoundαβ-was 1.5% (95/6 182).α-genetic defect types were mainly--SEA/αα,-α3.7/ααand-α4.2/ααand defect rate were 60.8%,23.5% and 10.4%,respectively.β-gene defect types are mainly CD41/42,CD17 and-28,defect rate were 41.1%,28.2% and 12.9%,respectively.Conclusion Unmarried young men in shenzhen area globin generation barrier ane-mia has certain carrying rate,local family planning department attaches great importance to it.Strengthen the unmarried young men globin generation barrier anemia screening,to guide the healthy birth mating and prevention of severe pauper’s birth,improve the rate of eugenic and superior nurture,has the vital significance.
