We only prolongated the course of shock from 2h to 5h, without predi- sposing the dogs. At 5h after hemorrhagic shock, the experimental results were asfollows: The ultrastructural damages were not only detected in the lung but also in theheart, liver, intestine and kidney etc. Major pathological lesions were: swelling of paren-chymal cells in various organs, vacular degeneration, and de-connection of cells. The laterwas shown as disintegration of hepatocyte-conjunction and disappearance of microvilli. Theorganelles of various cells ruptured to different degrees, for example, mitochondria swelledand its crista dissolved, endoplasmic reticulum dilated and de-granulated. In addition, thefibril of cardiac muscle thinned and dissolved, the capillary endothelial tight-conjunctionsof lung and intestine ruptured etc. The quantity of entero-endotoxin in plasma increasedin accordance with prolongation of shock, and its quantity was most abundant in portalvein, the next was artery and the last was hepatic vein. All experimental results showedthat the entero-endotoxin was related to the changes of ultrastructure of various organs.

Compared to normal counterparts,cancer cells exhibit metabolic changes owing to both genetic and epigenetic alterations. Some abnormal alterations happen in tumor cells including glycolysis,mito-chondrial biogenesis,glutaminolysis and lipid synthesis. These metabolic changes have great significance to development of tumor and clinical targeted therapies.

AIM: To investigate the effects of low-dose theophylline on differentiation of the naive T lymphocyte. METHODS: Naive T lymphocytes and monocytes were isolated from cord blood in neonate. Theophylline (10 mg?L-1 ) was added in naive T lymphocytes and monocytes which stimulated by PHA (200 mg?L-1 ) for 3 days, and the differentiation of T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cytokines were measured by enzyme linked immune-sorbent assay ( ELISA ). RESULTS: Theophylline significantly promoted differentiation fromTh1 cells to naive T cells ( P

Her-2 receptor has already been identified as one of the most important biological markers of some malignant tumors,and also plays an important role in the biological behavior of those tumor cells.The over-expression of Her-2 receptor is associated with radioresistance of various tumor cells,and thus an antibody to Her-2/neu receptor can probably function as a radiosensitizer.In this review,we summarized some advances in the molecular mechanism and clinical aspects of the relationship between Her-2 and cellular radiosensitivity.

Objective To evaluate the performance of sST 2 ELISA kit and investigate the clinical application of sST2.Methods This verification study validated the precision , linearity of sST2 ELISA kit according to the CLSI EP-15A, EP-6A protocols.300 healthy adults(aged from 20 to 85, 124 male and 176 female) from 5 different districts of Shanghai were used to establish serum sST 2 reference interval .The correlations between sST2, NT-ProBNP, LVEF and NYHA class were analyzed in 117 patients diagnosed with heart failure who were grouped according to the New York heart association ( NYHA).Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the ablity of sST2, NT-ProBNP, LVEF in distinguishing heart failure patients .Results The within-lot and between-lot variation of three level samples were below 4% and 10% respectively.There was a good linear correlation ( Y=0.995X+0.005, R2 =0.999) between theoretical value and actual detection result in the range of 0 to 200 μg/ml.The reference interval of sST2 was 10.2 to 41.0μg/ml for males and 8.9 to 28.1μg/ml for females.sST2 was positively correlated with NT-ProBNP and NYHA class but did not correlate with LVEF in heart failure patients . Patients with NYHA class>II (Median:28.3,IQR:19.5-39.2)had higher serum sST2 level than patients with NYHA class≤II (Median:45.1,IQR:34.1 -85.6), P<0.05.The AUC of sST2 in distinguishing heart failure patients from normal people was 0.815(sensitivity :51.2%,specificity:92.7%).The AUC of sST2 ,sST2+NT-ProBNP and sST2+NT-ProBNP+LVEF in distinguishing patients between NYHA class≤II and>II were 0.743, 0.810, 0.831 respectively and the sensitivity of sST 2 +NT-ProBNP+LVEF was 94.7%.Conclusions Experimental results show that this sST 2 ELISA kit has a good performance in the precision, linearity.sST2 correlates with NT-ProBNP and NYHA class but do not correlates with LVEF . Serum sST2 level is not influenced by age , BMI, renal function.sST2 could be a good supplement of NT-ProBNP and LVEF in distinguishing patients between NYHA class≤II and>II.

Objective To evaluate the performance of serum sialic acid detection kit using enzymic method and investigate the clinical diagnosis value of sialic acid.Methods one hundred and fifty healthy adults were enrolled in this case control study to establish serum SA reference interval.The analytical performance (accuracy,precision,linearity) of serum sialic acid detection kit using enzymic method was assessed.Two hundred and forty patients were classified into different malignant tumor groups according to their pathological types.Serum SA level of each tumor group was compared with that of normal control group.In tumor groups with statistical difference,benign disease groups were further collected.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of SA compared with other tumor markers.t test,one-way ANOVA,Mann-Whitney U test were used as statistical methods.Results The reference interval of SA was 479 to 715 mg/L.The detection result of 2 level controls was 584 and 1 482 mg/L respectively,which were both within the acceptable limits.The within-lot and between-lot variations of three level samples were both below 5％.There was a good linear correlation (Y =0.995X-0.177,R2 =0.999) between theoretical value and actual detection result in range of 0-1 052 mg/L.The serum level of SA was (757 ± 177),(514 ± 86) and (597 ± 60) mg/L in gastric cancer group,benign disease control group and normal control group respectively,which had statistically significant difference(F =55.2,P ＜ 0.01).The serum level of SA was(659 ± 127) and (545 ± 66) mg/L in colorectal cancer group and benign disease control group respectively,which had statistically significant difference(F =42.8,P ＜ 0.01).The serum level of SA was (738 ± 157) and (672 ± 161) mg/L in colorectal cancer group and benign disease control group respectively,which did not have statistically significant difference(F =26.3,P ＞ 0.05).The AUC of SA was 0.804,0.724,0.755 in gastric cancer group,colorectal cancer group and lung cancer group respectively,which was higher than that of CEA and CA72-4.In gastric cancer group,the sensitivity of SA was higher than that of CEA (59.5％,24.3％).The AUC of SA was 0.791,0.687,0.790 in gastric cancer,colorectal cancer and lung cancer patients with normal CEA serum level respectively.Conclusions Experimental results show that serum sialic acid detection kit using enzymic method has good performance in the precision and linearity.Sialic acid has some value in the diagnosis of gastric cancer and colorectal cancer and could be a good supplement of CEA in screening of cancer.

Objective To investigate the urinary albumin excretion of the diabetes patients and application value in the monitoring of early impairment in kidney. Methods The random urine samples from diabetes patients and controls within three days were collectod. The changes of urinary albumin excretion within day and between days were analyzed. 24-hour urine albumin was used as a standard to evaluate early kidney damage. The correlations between results of random urine albumin at the different time points and different periods were comparod. The sensitivity and specificity of random urine albumin at the different time points and different periods was evaluated and compared to deduce the best diagnostic porformance of the random urine albumin. Results There are greater variations of the levels of urinary albumin of patients with diabetes and control. After the correction with urine creatinine and urine volume the variations can be reduced (CV:49%±23% and 64%±30%). Urinary albumin excretion rate change rhythmically within the 24 h in healthy and diabetes patients. We found the best correlation between overnight ratio of urinary concentrations of albumin and creatinine (ACR) and 24-hour urinary albumin (R2 = 0.976). It was superior to urina sanguinis (R~2 = 0.900), postprandial urine (R~2 = 0.584) and random urine (R~2 =0.791). When 24 h urinary albumin was taken as the standard, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed there was significant difference between male and female(male 12.8 μg/mg urine creatinine vs female 27.0 μg/mg urine creatinine),and the the cut-off value of ACR was 27.7μg/mg urine creatinine. When the smallest available negative likelihood ratio (0.011) and the greatest positive likelihood ratio (481.000) were obtained,the concentration of 13.0 μg/mg creatinine and 87.4 μg/mg creatinine were set as the cut-off value of ACR. Conclusions The correction with urinary creatinine can reduce the variation between-days compared with urine volume, but still can not completely eliminate the variability. The ACR of overnight urine has the best correlation with the 24 h urinary albumin and can replace 24 h urinary albumin. Random urine as the most convenient collecting urine samples can also replace 24-hour urinary albumin, but the gender discrepancy need to be considered. When the concentration of 13.0 μg/mg and 87.4 μg/mg was set as a random ACR exclusion value and the confirmative value, it can basically rule out and confirm the existence of microalbuminuria.
