Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(12):1500-1503
Objective To explore the clinical diagnostic value of quantitative detection of the slit homologue 2 (SLIT2) methylation for cervical high grade precancerous lesions. Methods According to histopathologic diagnostic results, 178 patients infected with high-risk HPV were divided into normal cervix group (n=45), low-grade lesion group (n=50) and high-grade lesion group (n=83). The cervical exfoliated cells were collected in three groups. The methylation levels of SLIT2 were measured by pyrosequencing in three groups. The diagnostic threshold of SLIT2 in high grade precancerous lesions was estimated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The percentages of SLIT2 methylation were (4.53 ± 1.37)%, (5.81 ± 2.26)% and (11.80 ± 8.47)% in normal cervix group, low-grade lesion group and high-grade lesion group, respectively. And the differences between three groups were statistically significant (F=27.61, P<0.001). The percentage of SLIT2 methylation was significantly higher in high-grade lesion group than that of normal cervix group and low-grade lesion group (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the percentage of SLIT2 methylation between normal cervix group and low-grade lesion group (P=0.297). The area under the ROC curve was 0.895 and optimal cut-off value was 6.41%. The sensitivity and specificity were 80.7% and 83.2%, respectively for the detection by SLIT2 methylation. Conclusion The quantitative detection of SLIT2 gene methylation level in cervical exfoliated cells by pyrosequencing can effectively diagnose cervical high grade precancerous lesions.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate image quality of female pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans reconstructed with the adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) technique combined with low tube-voltage and to explore the feasibility of its clinical application. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ninety-four patients were divided into two groups. The study group used 100 kVp, and images were reconstructed with 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% ASIR. The control group used 120 kVp, and images were reconstructed with 30% ASIR. The noise index was 15 for the study group and 11 for the control group. The CT values and noise levels of different tissues were measured. The contrast to noise ratio (CNR) was calculated. A subjective evaluation was carried out by two experienced radiologists. The CT dose index volume (CTDIvol) was recorded. RESULTS: A 44.7% reduction in CTDIvol was observed in the study group (8.18 +/- 3.58 mGy) compared with that in the control group (14.78 +/- 6.15 mGy). No significant differences were observed in the tissue noise levels and CNR values between the 70% ASIR group and the control group (p = 0.068-1.000). The subjective scores indicated that visibility of small structures, diagnostic confidence, and the overall image quality score in the 70% ASIR group was the best, and were similar to those in the control group (1.87 vs. 1.79, 1.26 vs. 1.28, and 4.53 vs. 4.57; p = 0.122-0.585). No significant difference in diagnostic accuracy was detected between the study group and the control group (42/47 vs. 43/47, p = 1.000). CONCLUSION: Low tube-voltage combined with automatic tube current modulation and 70% ASIR allowed the low CT radiation dose to be reduced by 44.7% without losing image quality on female pelvic scan.

OBJECTIVETo obtain streptavidin-tagged human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (SA/hGM-CSF) fusion protein and evaluate its bioactivity .
METHODSPET24a-6His-SA-L-hGM-CSF and PET24a-hGM-CSF-L-SA-6His plasmids were constructed and expressed in Rosetta (DE3) host bacteria to generate the fusion proteins. The two fusion proteins were refolded by gradient dialysis after Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and finally purified using DEAE-sepharose FF anion exchange chromatography. MTT method was used to evaluate the effect of SA/hGM-CSF fusion proteins in inducing the proliferation of human erythroleukemia cells (TF-1). The efficiency of the fusion proteins for surface modification of biotinylated MB49 tumor cells was evaluated by flow cytometry.
RESULTSThe recombinant fusion proteins SA-hGM-CSF and hGM-CSF-SA were highly expressed in Rosetta (DE3) at about 20% of the total bacterial proteins, with a purity of about 96% after purification. The two fusion proteins exhibited bifunctional activities, namely the pro-proliferation effect on human erythroleukemia cells (TF-1) and SA-mediated high-affinity binding to biotinylated cell surfaces (with an anchoring modified rate of about 99%).
CONCLUSIONSA/hGM-CSF bi-fusion proteins obtained in this study lays the groundwork for the development of cancer cell vaccines with surface modification by hGM-CSF.
