Objective To explore the diagnostic value of serum myoglobin (Mb) and cardiac troponin (cTn) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by reviewing and evaluating the corresponding references with evidence-based medicine (EBM) theory.Methods All references (including papers,reviews and abstracts) of CNKI-CHKD,CMCC(1994-2005)and EMCC(1995-2005) were collected and retrospectively analyzed according to evidence based medicine (EBM) standard,with Mb cTn as the detected indices for diagnosing AMI.Results In the searched period of 1994-2005,123 papers were published (93 pieces were written in Chinese,and 30 were written in English). In most references,the authors set clinical control trial (CCT) (Chinese: 92.5%;English: 53.3%),blind control trial (Chinese: 19.4%;English: 10.0%) and/or random control trial (RCT) (Chinese: 9.7%;English: 16.7%). The respective reference ranges weren′t provided in 42 pieces of articles.Conclusion The analytic result of the references in home and aborad indicates combined detection of Mb and cTnI posseses favourite sensitivity and specificity,which contributes to the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the expression of DcR3 mRNA in cells of acute leukemia(AL) and its clinical significance.Methods The DcR3 mRNA of bone marrow mononuclear cells(BMNC) in the patients with AL was detected by RTPCR.There were 28 AML cases,and 18 ALL cases.27 cases of non-malignant hematopathy were used as control group.The expression level of DcR3 mRNA in BMNC was detected with RT-PCR.Results The positive rate of DcR3 mRNA was 67.4% and gene expression level was 0.56?0.09 in AL group,while they were 40.7% and 0.39?0.19 in control group,there were significant differences(P0.05).The positive expression level of DcR3 mRNA increased when the white blood cell count was ≥30?109?L-1.Conclusion DcR3 gene might play a role by suppressing apoptosis in leukemogenesis.
