Objective　To study anticipated value of the retention rate of indocyanine green at 15 minutes after injection (ICGR15) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) on hepatic function reserve in patients with primary hepatic cancer (PHC). Methods　58 patients with PHC were divided into 3 groups according to the recovery after operation for PHC. Of them, 29 cases showed good recovery (group A), 18 mild liver dysfunction (group B) and 11 severe liver dysfunction (group C) respectively. ICGR 15, OGTT, routine liver function tests were performed in all 　patients preoperatively. Results　　ICGR15 in group C(24.17%±6.59%) obviously increased than that in group A(11.42%±3.91%,P<0.01) and in group B(16.28±6.07%, P<0.01). 　Blood glucose lever of 120 min after glucose loading test in group C (9.91 mmol/L±3.09 mmol/L)was significantly higher than that in group A(5.42 mmol/L±0.83 mmol/L, (P<0.01)and group B(6.68±1.61, P<0.01). 　The accuracy (81.0%,86.2%), positive (90.6%, 93.5%) 　and negative prediction value (72.5%, 74.4%) of OGTT and ICGR 15 were respectively significent greater than those of Pugh's scoring (P<0.01).Conclusions　ICGR15 and OGTT are worthwhile indicators to assess hepatic function reserve for patients with PHC. Combination of both ICGR15 and OGTT has higher predictive value on hepatic function reserve.

AIM: To investigate the differentiative and apoptotic effect of CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides on HL60 cells and its mechanism. METHODS: After HL60 cells were exposed to synthetic CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides, non-CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides or ZpG-oligodeoxynucleotides for 72 hours, respectively, the inhibition of HL60 cells were detected using MTT method, NBT test was used and CD14 expression were determined. Apoptosis of HL60 cells were mensurated with flow cytometry and transmission electron microscope, and caspase 3, Bcl-2 and Bax expression of HL60 cells treated with oligodeoxynucletides were detected using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Treatment with CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides induced the differentiation and apoptosis in HL60 cells, but non-CpG-oligodeoxynu- cleotide and ZpG-oligodeoxynucleotide had no effect on HL60 cells. CONCLUSION: CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides can induce the differentiation and apoptosis in HL60 cells. It may provide a new approach for the immunological treatment of leukemia.

Objective This study aims to explore the characteristics of gender and age in six different suicide methods in urban area of China. Methods We collected 548 suicides from Shanghai, Jinhua, Wuhan, Loudi and Duyun, and then analyzed the age and gender characteristics in each suicide method. Results In the age characteristics, the mean age for jumping and hanging was oldest (about 55 years old), followed by drowning and hanging (about 49 years old), oral intake poisoning was much younger (about 49 years old), while carbon monoxide poisoning was youngest (about 37 years old). In the gender differences, male were more than females in suicides by sharp object (52:24), hanging (67:33) and jumping (55:45), while females were more than males in suicides by drowning (58:42). Conclusion The age and gender difference was eminent in different suicide methods. Carbon monoxide poisoning was the youngest age group in suicides and males involved more than females in suicides by mechanical methods.

Objective:To investigate the levels and influencing factors of serum pertussis toxin (PT)-IgG antibody in children with pertussis.Methods:The clinical data including age, course of disease and vaccination status of children with laboratory-confirmed pertussis and tested for PT-IgG antibody in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from July 2015 to December 2018 were collected. Venous blood samples were obtained to detect PT-IgG antibody levels. Nasopharyngeal swabs were taken for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to detect Bordetella pertussis nucleic acid and culture of Bordetella pertussis. Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between two groups.Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison among multiple groups. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PT-IgG antibody levels. Results:A total of 871 children aged 4(2, 7) months were included, among whom, 592(68.0%) cases were under six months and 754 (86.6%) cases were under one year old. The course of disease was 15 (11, 20) days. Among 871 cases, 864 (99.2%) cases were PCR test and (or) culture positive, including 696 cases positive only for PCR test, 35 cases positive only for culture and 133 cases positive for both PCR test and culture. There were 452 (51.9%) children who were not vaccinated and 346 (39.7%) children vaccinated with at least one dose. In terms of age, the PT-IgG amtibody levels of children aged 0 to two months, three to five months, six months to two years and ≥three years were 0.7 (0, 8.2) IU/mL, 2.3 (0, 23.0) IU/mL, 24.6 (0, 112.3) IU/mL and 24.9 (0, 114.7) IU/mL, respectively. The PT-IgG antibody levels of children after onset of symptoms at 0 to two weeks, more than two to four weeks, more than four to eight weeks and more than eight weeks were 0(0, 7.9) IU/mL, 8.7(0, 56.0) IU/mL, 26.6(5.1, 82.9) IU/mL and 68.0(15.3, 118.8) IU/mL, respectively. The differences were both statistically significant ( H=88.346 and 94.076, respectively, both P<0.01). The PT-IgG antibody levels in children who were unvaccinated and vaccinated with at least one dose were 0.9 (0, 12.7) IU/mL and 14.6(0, 86.3) IU/mL, respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( Z=-8.520, P<0.01) PT-IgG≥80 IU/mL accounted for 16%(139/871) in the whole range of age, 34.3%(12/35) in children ≥three years old. There were 13 patients aged ≥three years old with a disease course >two weeks, among whom, six patients had PT-IgG≥80 IU/mL. Age, course of disease and vaccination status were independent influencing factors of PT-IgG levels ( β=0.108, 0.189 and 0.250, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The levels of PT-IgG antibody in children with pertussis are influenced by age, course of disease and vaccination status. The single serum PT-IgG of 80 IU/mL as cut-off value in the diagnosis of pertussis may lead to a increase of missed diagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore the standards suitable for children in China.
