Objective To explore the value of blood lipid and CA125 in identification diagnosis between lung cancer and pulmo‐nary tuberculosis .Methods The blood lipid and serum CA125 levels in 131 patients with lung cancer( Ⅰ - Ⅳ stage) ,53 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 60 normal controls were determined by biochemstry ,immunoturbidimetry and electrochemilumi‐nescence immunoassay and was done compared study .Results The serum TC and HDL‐C level in 131 patients with lung cancer were decreased with severity and were lower than in those of in 53 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis(TC :P< 0 .05 ,< 0 .05 ,<0 .01 and < 0 .001 respectively ;HDL‐C :P< 0 .05 ,< 0 .05 ,< 0 .01 and < 0 .01 respectively) .The serum LDL‐C level was no differ‐ences between lung cancer( Ⅰ - Ⅲ stage) and in 53 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis(P> 0 .05) only the lung cancer( Ⅳ stage) was a little increased(P< 0 .05) .The serum TG and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio levels in 131 patients with lung cancer( Ⅰ - Ⅳ stage) were increased with severity and were significantly higher than in those of 53 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TG :P < 0 .05 ,< 0 .05 ,< 0 .01 and < 0 .01 respectively ;ApoB/ApoA1 :P< 0 .05 ,< 0 .05 ,< 0 .01 and < 0 .01 respectively) .The level of CA125 in 131 patients with lung cancer was significantly higher than in those 53 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis(P< 0 .001) .Conclusion The serum TC and HDL‐C ,TG ,ApoB/ApoA1 ratio and CA125 levels may be the indexs of identification diagnosis between lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis .

Objective To investigate the effects of ?-lipoic acid on the proliferation and activation of NF-?B induced by high glucose (HG) in rat mesenteric cells (MCs). Methods The rat mesenteric cells were cultured in the medium with normal glucose (5.6mmol/L, NG), high glucose (25mmol/L, HG), HG+100 ?mol/L ?-lipoic acid, or HG+200?mol/L ?-lipoic acid and HG+PDTC (a NF-?B inhibitor). Activation of nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) of rat mesenteric cells were measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The cell proliferation was assessed by MTT. Results ?-lipoic acid (50~300?mol/L) can inhibit the proliferation of MCs. The NF-?B binding activity was 2.2 -fold higher in MCs exposed to HG compared to NG (P

0.4,P0.05)with HHS.[Conclusion]The result of this study suggest that HHS can not capture additional important quality of life domains except for physical function and pain relief that are influenced by THA.So it's necessary to combine HHS and a quality of life survey such as SF-36 to allow a more global assessment of THA.

As the necessary depletion material in hospitals,sterile packing material shows category diversification when being selected.This paper briefly analyzes the functions and values of domestic common sterile packing material such as pure cotton wrap cloth,hard quality packing container,paper/ plastics packing bag and the crease wrapping paper.Reasonable suggestions are also put forward.

To obtain the criterion of Laser induced Autofluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy in the differentiation of normal lung tissue and lung cancer and study the feasibility of LIF spectroscopy in the diagnosis of lung cancer, the LIF spectra of normal lung and lung cancer in 42 surgical specimens have been measured with a detecting system which consists of an YAG laser(wavelength 355nm) and an optical multichannel analyzer(OMA). Spectroscopic differences between normal lung and cancerous tissues have been found which could be used as a criterion to distinguish from them . The pathological examinations were done to compare with the criterion. The results showed:① The location of the principal spectral peaks of the normal lung tissue (470.8?6.3)nm and lung cancer ( 463.7 ?4.8)nm are different( P

Objective To study the relationships of serum neuroglobin and neuron-specific enolase level with periventricular hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage ( PVH-IVH) and periventricular leucumalacia ( PVL) in preterm infants. Methods There were 241 cases of preterm infants whose gestational age was less than 34 weeks and were admitted in NICU of Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center, Guangzhou Huadu District Matermal and Child Health Hospital and Dongguan Taiping Hospital from Jan. 2010 to May. 2013, enrolled in the study. The serum level of neuroglobin and neuron-specific enolase were detected within 12 hours and on the 3 d, 7 d, 14 d after birth. Cranial ultrasound was preformed 2~3 d, 1week, 2weeks, 3weeks, and 4 weeks after birth. They also received Cranial MRI examination before discharge or when the correct gestational age reached 40 weeks. All 241 cases were divided into 3 groups ( no brain damage group, PVH-IVH group and PVL group) according to the result of cranial US and MRI. The differences of the serum levels of neuroglobin and neuron-specific enolase among each groups were compared. Results The results of cranial ultrasound and /or MRI showed: 162 cases had no brain damage ( in no brain damage group) , 50 cases had PVH-IVH ( in PVH-IVH group) , and 20 cases had PVL, 9 cases had PVL and PVH-IVH ( both in PVL group) . Within 12 h and 3 d after birth, the serum levels of neuroglobin in PVL group and PVH-IVH group was significantly higher than those in no brain damage group (P<0. 05), and the serum levels of neuroglobin in PVL group were signigicantly higher than those in PVH-IVH group ( P <0. 05 ) . On 7 d and 14 d after birth, the serum levels of neuroglobin were no significant difference between PVH-IVH group and no brain damage group ( P>0. 05 ) , and there were still significantly higher than those in no brain damage group and PVH-IVH group (all P<0. 05). The serum levels of neuron-specific enolase within 12 h and 3 d after birth in PVH-IVH group and PVL group were significantly higher than those in no brain damage group ( P<0. 05 ) , and there were no significant difference between PVL group and PVH-IVH group (P>0. 05). On 7 d and 14 d after birth, the serum levels of neuron-specific enolase in PVL group were no significant difference compared with PVH-IVH group and no brain damage group (all P>0. 05). Conclusion The increased serum levels of neuroglobin and neuron-specific enolase in preterm infants within 12 h and 3 d after birth would have certain clinical significance for judging whether early brain damage and PVL would happen.
