Objective To investigate the features of the enhancement of SHCC at triple-phase spiral CT scanning and compare its sensitivity in different phase.Methods The pre- and post-contrast CT scanning of the entire liver in 70 patients with SHCC was carried out with a helical CT scanner. The contrast material was infused at a rate of 3ml/s, followed by sequential arterial-, portal- and equilibrium- phase scans of the liver. The number of the detected lesions was calculated in each phase, the characterization of lesions in each phase was observed.Results Of the 82 detected SHCC, the sensitivity in three phases was 92.68%, 70.73% and 73.17% respectively. The sensitivity increased significantly to 95% by combining the detection of three phases. Conclusion Triple-phase contrast enhanced spiral CT can fully demonstrate the patterns of SHCC and improve its detection rate.

Objective To study the interphase FISH of cells from aminotic fluid in the third trimester prospectively. Methods Amniotic fluid (5ml) was obtained in 32 pregnant women in the third trimester who underwent cordocentesis for karyotyping. FISH was performed on uncultured am niocytes and the results were compared with karyotypes. Results Abnormal aneuploid were identified in 6 cases among the 32 women. The FISH results were consistent with the karyotypes. Conclusions Interphase FISH in third-trimester amniocentesis can provide an accurate clinical diagnosis on common aneupoidies.

Objective To establish attenuated S. typhimurium expressing Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) urease subunit B (UreB) and determine whether it could be used as oral vaccine against H.pylori Methods H.pylori (SS1 strain) UreB gene fragment amplified by PCR was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector PTc 01 after sequencing, then transformed into attenuated S.typhimurium SL3261 to acquire SL3261/PTc 01 UreB. The expression of H.pylori UreB in SL3261 was detected by Western blot. Twelve weeks after oral immunization of mice, antibody responses were evaluated using serum and intestinal fluid by ELISA. In vitro stability of PTc 01 UreB plasmid in S. typhimurium SL3261 was confirmed by growing in Luria Bertani medium to 60 generations. Results The UreB gene fragment amplified by PCR was consistent with the sequence of the H.pylori UreB by sequence analysis. Enzyme digestion revealed that the correct PTc 01 UreB was obtained. Western blot showed that 61kD protein was expressed in SL3261/PTc 01 UreB which could be recognized by anti H.pylori UreB antiserum. Anti UreB IgA antibodies in mouse intestinal fluid and IgG antibodies in serum were determined by ELISA. After 60 generations of continuous culture, the recombinant plasmid PTc 01 UreB was stable in SL3261 and had no obvious toxicity. Conclusion The attenuated Salmonella typhimurium expressing H.pylori UreB may be used as oral vaccine against H.pylori infection.

AIM: To evaluate the changes of serum total prostate specific antigen (T-PSA), free prostate specific antigen (F-PSA) and the ratio of F-PSA to T-PSA (F/T) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and its clinical significance. METHODS: The concentrations of T-PSA and F-PSA in serum were measured by micropartical enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) using AxSYM System, and the F/T ratio was calculated. RESULTS: Before operation, the concentrations of T-PSA and F-PSA in patients with PCa were much higher and F/T ratio was significantly lower than that in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). T-PSA and F-PSA levels decreased, but F/T ratio increased after operation in PCa and BPH. F/T ratio in 83.5% PCa and 6.5% BPH was less than 0.16. To diagnosis PCa, the sensitivity of F/T ratio was 83.5%, and the specificity was 86.7%. CONCLUSION: Serum T-PSA, F-PSA and F/T ratio are important parameters for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. [
