Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2017;40(3):200-203
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D level and prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods One hundred patients with acute cerebral infarction within 48 h and 60 healthy subjects were selected. The serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D level was measured. The patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into vitamin D sufficient group, vitamin D insufficient group and vitamin D deficiency group according to the serum 25- hydroxy- vitamin D level. The National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) before treatment and 14 d after treatment was evaluated, and this result reflected short- term prognosis; the long- term prognosis was evaluated by modified Rankin scale (mRS) 3 months after treatment. Results The serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D level in patients with acute cerebral infarction was significantly lower than that in healthy subjects:(14.21 ± 0.98)μg/L vs. (22.43 ± 1.01)μg/L, and there was statistical difference (t=3.95, P=0.012). The patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into 3 groups according to the serum 25- hydroxy-vitamin D level:vitamin D sufficient group (19 cases), vitamin D insufficient group (28 cases) and vitamin D deficiency group (53 cases). The NIHSS before treatment and 14 d after treatment in vitamin D sufficient group was significantly lower than that in vitamin D insufficient group and vitamin D deficiency group: (7.03 ± 1.82) scores vs. (10.21 ± 2.03) and (14.35 ± 2.96) scores, (2.04 ± 1.86) scores vs. (5.21 ± 2.28) and (10.38 ± 2.34) scores, and that in vitamin D insufficient group was significantly lower than that in vitamin D deficiency group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). The Pearson correlation analysis result showed that the serum 25- hydroxy- vitamin D level was negatively correlated with NIHSS scores (r = -1.738, P = 0.031). The short- term total effective rate in vitamin D sufficient group was significantly higher than that in vitamin D insufficient group and vitamin D deficiency group:17/19 vs. 67.9% (19/28) and 47.2% (25/53), and that in vitamin D insufficient group was significantly higher than that in vitamin D deficiency group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The long- term good prognosis rate in vitamin D sufficient group was significantly higher than that in vitamin D insufficient group and vitamin D deficiency group:18/19 vs. 75.0%(21/28) and 50.9%(27/53), and that in vitamin D insufficient group was significantly higher than that in vitamin D deficiency group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions The serum vitamin D level is significantly decreased in patients with acute cerebral infarction. It is negatively correlated with NIHSS scores. And it is important to judge prognosis.

Objectives To investigate the prevalance of quinolone resistance in Laribacter hongkongensis and to evaluate the influence of agar dilution and disc diffusion methods on susceptibility testing for the bacterium. Methods Susceptibility to quinolones of L.hongkongensis was tested by agar dilution and disc diffusion methods. The results for both methods were compared. Results L.hongkongensis isolates exhibited different susceptibility rate for quinolones (levofloxacin>ciprofloxacin>norfloxacin>nalidixic acid). All of the fish isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin and more than 90%were susceptible to ciprofloxacin and Norfloxacin. However,by agar dilution, only 62.50%, 37.50%,48.21%, 19.64%of the frogs isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid, respectively. For fish isolates, comparision of susceptibilities between agar dilution and disc diffusion showed a high (> 95%) percentage agreement for levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin and the highest crepancies were observed with norfloxacin (100%) .But it showed a high discrepancy when comparing the two methods for frogs isolates. Conclusions The resistance rate of L. hongkongens to quinolones was high , especially for frog isolates. The results suggested the use of agar dilution on susceptibility testing for quinolones in L. hongkongensis.

Objective To assess the prevalence of c-Kit and FLT3 gene mutations in core binding factor related acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) and analyze the karyotype characteristics of the CBF-AML patients. Methods Mutations of c-Kit, FLT3-ITD and FLT3-TKD were detected by genomic DNA PCR and sequencing, and the karyotype changes were analyzed in 48 newly diagnosed CBF-AML patients. Results c-Kit aberrations were detected in 13(27.1 %) out of 48 patients, including 5 cases with exon 8 mutation and 8 cases with exon 17 mutation. c-Kit was more prominent in t(8;21) AML patients than in inv(16) AML patients [(33.3 %(9/27) vs 19.0 %(4/21), P<0.05]. Only 1 case (2.1 %) had FLT3-ITD mutation (FLT3-ITD+) and 3 cases (6.3 %) had FLT3-TKD mutation (FLT3-TKD +). Prevalence of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 with additional chromosome abnormality was as high as 25.9 %(7/27), in which sex chromosome elimination was the most common one, while prevalence of CBFβ-MYH11 with additional chromosome abnormality was low. Conclusion c-Kit gene mutations and RUNX1-RUNX1T1 additional chromosome abnormalities are common in patients with CBF-AML and would be helpful for individualized treatment studies.

Objective To study the clinical significance of the injury and functional change of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis after acute severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the rats.Methods A total of 60 adult healthy male Spraque-Dawley rats were randomly (random number) divided into 3 groups (n =20 in each group):sham operation group,model group and treatment group.The TBI models of rats were established by Feeney' s method.A low dose of dexamethasone (0.6 mg/kg) was injected into the abdominal cavity 20 minutes,24 hours and 48 hours after injury in treatment group,while rats of sham operation group and model group received equal volume of normal saline instead.All the rats were injected 1 μg adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) into the abdominal cavity.The related parameters were detected at four time points,3 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 72 hours after cerebral contusion.The plasma corticosterone (CORT) and ACTH levels were measured by chemiluminescence.The hypothalamic,pituitary and adrenal of the rats were taken out for observing interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) expression detecting by immunohistochemical techniques at 72nd hour after TBI.One-way ANOVA and SNK-q test were used to analyze the results with SPSS 17.0 software package.Results The levels of ACTH and CORT on 3rd hour of model group raised remarkably compared with that of sham operation group,then they reduced gradually.The levels of CORT were lower than that of sham operation group at every time points after ACTH stimulation test (P <0.05 or P <0.01).The levels of CORT at all time points of treatment group were changed remarkably compared with that of model group.However,the ACTH levels of treatment group on 24 h increased slightly than that of model group.And the tendency of them was similar to model group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).The number of the hypothalamus and pituitary cells which express IL-6 and TNF-α in model group was more significantly increased when compared with that in sham operation group (P < 0.01),while the number of this kind of cell in treatment group was significantly decreased than that in model group (P < 0.01).The number of the adrenal cortex cells which express IL-6 in treatment group was more significantly decreased when compared with that in model group (P< 0.01),while the number of this kind of cell in model group was significantly increased than that in sham operation group (P < 0.01).However,there was no significant difference of the TNF-α between all the groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions Functional change of adrenal occurs early in the severe acute traumatic brain injury rats,and the response of adrenal to ACTH decreased as time goes by.Low-dose,short-course dexamethasone can delay the pathological changes,reduce the inflammatory response of HPA axis and increase the sensitivity of adrenal response to ACTH.

Objective To investigate the sensitivity of tumor cells to photodynamic therapy(PDT), and to select the optimal photo-dose and photo density for PDT to the cultured cells. Methods Cells of SHEE and SHEEC cell lines were divided into 21 groups randomly,after 24 h inoculation, the cells accreted on paries of culture capsule completely, we replaced M199 complete culture solution with 30 μg/rnl Photofrin-Ⅱ solution 100 μl and then replacd with M199 complete culture solution without Photofiin-Ⅱ after 150 min of incubation in Photofrin-Ⅱ. Within 15 min,we dealed the cells with PDT using Photofrin-Diomed 630 under three different power densities:25 raW/cm~2,50 mW/cm~2 and 100 mW/cm~2 for 10 s,20 9,30 s,50 s, 100 s, 150 s and 200 s respectively,and then continue for 24 h culture. We examined the inhibiting effect on cell line SHEE and SHEEC under PDT by the method of CCK-8. Results There was no significant difference in the inhibition ratio with same power density of PDT between cell line SHEE and SHEEC under the concentration of 30 μg/ml Photofrin-Ⅱ. However, the inhibition ratio increased with the raising of photo-dose of PDT,but there was a platform stage after the 2.5~30 J/cm~ 2 photo-dose. Conclu-sion The difference for photodynamic sensitivity between human immortalization esophageal epithelial cell line SHEE and the malignant transformation cell line SHEEC is not significant. The targeting of PDT to malignant tumor cell may not be involved in the photosensitivity for tumor cell.

Objective To investigate the relationship between expression of DAS-1 in gastric cardia intestinal metaplasia(CIM)and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA). Methods The cancerous tissues and CIM tissues (2 cm apart from caneer) obtained from 65 patients with GCA were examined for the expression of DAS-1 protein using immunohistoehemistry. The CIM tissues (<2 cm below Z line) obtained from 15 outpatients and inflammatory mucosa from 25 outpatients were also examined for expression of DAS-1 protein. Results The type Ⅲ IM was accounted for 55.4% (36/65) in GCA patients, which was significantly higher than that in outpatients [13.3% (2/15), P<0.01]. The positive rate of DAS-1 expression in cancerous tissues [78.5 % (51/65)] was also significantly higher than that in CIM tissues [38.8 %(30/80), P<0.01]. The expression of DAS-1 protein in IM tissues was gradually increased from type Ⅰ (0%) to type Ⅲ (71.1%) with positive correlation (P<0.01). Conclusions The type Ⅲ IM with over-expression of DAS-1 is closely related to GCA, which might be one of important precancerous lesions for GCA.
