Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2012;19(7):989-990
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and clinical significance of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in patients with chronic ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Methods70 carotid atherosclerotic plaques patients with plasma MPO level in our hospital were measured and taken ultrasound examination at the same time.ResultsThere was no significant difference for those with contrast-enhanced imaging and without increase in the general information (P >0.05).The enhanced infarct rate was 80.5% (33/41).The non-enhanced infarct was 44.8% (13/29).The carotid plaque ultrasound contrast enhancement in patients with cerebral infarction group was significantly higher than non-enhanced group(P < 0.01 ).In the plasma levels of MPO detection,contrast-enhanced carotid ultrasound group was significantly higher than non-enhanced group( P < 0.01 ).The cerebral infarction patients was significantly higher than non-cerebral infarction group (P < 0.01 ).ConclusionThe atherosclerotic plaque instability in patients with high expression level of MPO was significantly higher,which indicated high level expression of MPO in the diagnosis of chronic cerebrovascular disease had a very important role.Supplemented by the results of ultrasound imaging may had a clear diagnosis.
2.Determination and Pollution Control of Microcystins
Journal of Environment and Health 2007;0(11):-
As a most common algal toxin in eutrophic freshwater body, microcystins can be produced by the bloom-forming Cyanophyta microcystis, it has become a potential hazardous substance in aquatic environments for its toxic, distribution and stability. With the increasing recognition of microcystins, China had added microcystin-LR into the related water quality standards. It is very important to detect and control the microcystins in the aquatic environment. This paper systematically introduced the current situation of researches about the determination and pollution control technique of microcystins in drinking water at home and abroad in resent years and then some issues worth of paying more attention to and doing further study in pollution control in future were presented.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between serum C‐P levels and microvascular complications in patients with T 2DM. Methods The clinical data of 434 patients with T2DM were retrospectively analyzed. All subjects were divided into three groups based on ΔC‐P (2 hC‐P - FC‐P) tertiles :ΔC‐P1(≤2.2 ng/ml) ,ΔC‐P2(2.3~4.0 ng/ml) and ΔC‐P3(≥4.1 ng/ml). Results The levels of BMI ,TG ,FC‐P were lower ,and the course and HbAl c were higher in ΔC‐P1 group. ΔC‐P level was positively associated with BMI and TG (P< 0.05) ,and negatively associated with prevalence of DR and chronic kidney disease (CKD)in diabetes ,course and HbA1 c.ΔC‐P levels decreased gradually with the progression of DR and CKD. Logistic regression analysis showed that lower ΔC‐P level was the independent risk factor for microvascular complications after adjustment for related risk factors. Conclusion Serum ΔC‐P level is an independent factor for the development of diabetic microvasculr complications in T 2DM.

OBJECTIVE: A series of studies has been reported concerning deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement. This paper is aimed to summarize the occurrence factor and preventive measures for deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement.METHODS: A computer-based online search of VIP database was undertaken by the first author to identify the articles about the deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement published in between January 1994 and October 2009 with the key words of"artificial hip replacement and deep venous thrombosis". Inclusive criteria: ①Occurrence factor of deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement. ②Diagnostic criteria and diagnostic methods of deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement. ③Preventive strategy for deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement. Inclusive criteria: repetitive research or obsolete documents. Totally 25 literatures were included in this paper.RESULTS: The agreement has been basically achieved for pathogenesis and risk factor of deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement. The pathogenesis included blood hypercoagulable state, slow blood flow (or stasis), and vessel wall damage. Meanwhile, elderly, cerebrovascular disease, varicose vein or intravenous surgery, were the risk factors of deep venous thrombosis. Mechanical therapy or medication could be selected for preventing patients against deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement with different features. It was an acceptable method for most patients using mechanical therapy, which could not induce drug adverse reaction, but the clinical efficacy remained uncertain for high-risk patient population, thus, medication should be combined. Low molecular heparin was considered first-choice drugs for preventing deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement, which was characterized by common uses and reliable effects. CONCLUSION: Studies on influencing factor and preventive treatment of deep venous thrombosis following artificial hip replacement has arisen more attention in medical circles. The understanding of pathogenesis, correlation factors and preventive measures plays an important role in decreasing incidence deep venous thrombosis.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of telomerase activity (TA) and hTERT expression in pleural effusions. Methods According to the final diagnosis, 51 patients with pleural effusion were classified into two groups: malignant group (n=27) and benign group (n=24). Telomerase activity in pleural effusion was measured by TRAP-ELISA. Then the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of telomerase activity for diagnosing pleural effusion were calculated. hTERT in pleural effusion was detected by western blotting analysis. Results TA assay showed that 24 of 27 cases of malignant pleural effusion were found to possess telomerase activity, while 1 of 24 cases of benign one had telomerase activity. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of TA assay for diagnosing pleural effusion were 88.9%, 95.8%, 96%, 88.5%, and 92.2%, respectively. hTERT test showed that 8 of 27 cases of malignant pleural effusion had hTERT expression, while none of 12 cases of benign one had hTERT expression. There was significant difference in diagnosing pleural effusion between two methods (? 2=19.64,P=9.4?10 -5 ). Conclusion Tolomerase activity assay may act as a routine diagnostic method for malignant pleural effusions, while hTERT test may serve as complementary one.
