Background and purpose:The symptoms of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) are complicated, that might lead to misdiagnosis. This study aimed to detect the expression level of DJ-1 in PNENs and explore the clinical significance of DJ-1 in PNENs.Methods:DJ-1 protien levels in the serum of 16 cases of PNENs patients and 25 cases of healthy persons were detected by ELISA analysis; The expressions of DJ-1 in 78 cases of PNENs tissues were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results:The DJ-1 level in the serum of PNENs patients was signiifcantly higher than healthy persons (36.19±6.71vs 24.68±5.94 ng/mL;P<0.001);53.8% (42/78) cases of PNENs tissues showed DJ-1 positive staining; DJ-1 expression level in PNENs tissues had signiifcantly positive correlation with lymph node metastasis (P=0.033), distant metastasis (P=0.017), TNM stage (P=0.012), and pathology grade (P=0.049); As a dependent risk factor, DJ-1 expression was signiifcantly associated with shorter OS (P=0.003) and DFS (P=0.018) of PNENs patients.Conclusion:High expression of DJ-1 protein correlated with invasion and metastasis, disease progression, and poor prognosis in PNEN.

Objective To evaluate the best experimental technique with high-sensitivity and specificity for enhancing positive rate of syphilis screen test and preventing the blood dissemination of this disease.Methods Comparison of the results of TP-ELISA,TRUST and TPPA methods of syphilis examination was performed.Results Using three methods to exam 43,323 samples,299 samples were for positive syphilis.Among them, 294 positive samples with the ELISA method,the positive rate of syphilis test was 98.33%(294/299):92 positive samples with TRUST method,the positive rate only 30.77%(92/299);239 positive samples with TPPA method,the positive rate 79.93%(239/299).Conclusion TP-ELISA method with high sensitivity is suitable for the instrument standardization and data preservation,which is an ideal method for blood screen test of syphilis.For guarantee of blood safety and conventience and economic benefit of blood syphilis screen test, it is the best way to use both TP-ELISA and TRUST methods.The specificity of TPPA method is perfect, which is suitable for confirmation test of syphilis positive samples.

Objective To investigate the current human resources and continuing education of clinical laboratories in Ningxia's hospitals and identify problems to resolve.Methods A questionnaire survey was made to study the current human resources in clinical laboratories of hospitals in Ningxia,and the data obtained were analyzed.Results There were 676 laboratory staff employed in 75 clinical 5.1.In terms of education,the ratio their titles ranging from postgraduate,graduate,college Differences in their continuing education are significant statistically.Conclusion Imbalance is found in the distribution of academic titles,education and age groups in such clinical laboratories,with a shortage of those of high academic title and education,and great gaps in continuing education.

Background and purpose:PLAGL1 gene is a newly discovered gene, which could induce tumor cells’ apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. This study aimed to investigate the expression and the promoter methylation level ofPLAGL1 gene and its correlation withSDHB gene mutations in pheochromocytoma.Methods:The expressions of PLAGL1 mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method in 13 cases of normal adrenal medulla, 32 cases of benign pheochromocytoma group and 54 cases of malignant pheochromocytoma. We examined the promoter methylation status by methylation-speciifc polymerase chain reaction (MSP) andSDHB gene mutation by qRT-PCR ampliifcation and direct sequencing.Results:The relative expression volume ofPLAGL1 gene in malignant tumor tissue was (0.527±0.201), which was signiifcant lower than those in benigntumor tissue and normal adrenal medulla[(1.517±0.662) and (1.734±0.756)]. There was no remarkable difference between benign tumor tissue and normal tissue forPLAGL1 gene expression and promoter methylation.PLAGL1 gene methylation rate in malignant tumor tissue, benign tumor tissue and normal adrenal medulla were 68.5%, 18.8% and 15.4% respectively.SDHB gene mutation was detected in 7 malignant tumor tissues, while no mutation was found in benign and normal group.Conclusion:Lower expression status ofPLAGL1 gene showed signiifcant correlation with promoter methylation which may be associated withSDHB gene mutation.

Purpose　To investigate the pathomorphological and immunohistochemical features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods　Light microscopy was used to study the morphologic characteristics of 77 cases of GIST. The expression of c-kit(CD117), CD34, vimentin, SMA and S-100 protein were detected in all cases with S-P immunohistochemical method. Results　GIST tended to have a higher degree of cellularity and lesser degree of cytoplasmic eosinophilia than observed in classic leiomyomas. The neoplastic cells of GIST were spindle, epithelioid or both in different proportion. Focal to prominent cytoplasmic vacuolization was often seen. The histological spectrum included interlacing fascicles, diffuse sheets, storiform and palisading pattern. The formation of cell clusters was rather special. Stromal and vascular hyalinization was common. GIST primary in the mesentery tended to have a higher potentiality of malignancy. The positivity of CD117 and CD34 were 90%, 92%, respectively. Conclusion　The characteristic histological features exist in GIST. The detection of CD117 and CD34 is helpful to differential diagnosis.

Objective To study the effect of listening to music with headphone or background music on pain reduction of patients undergoing colonoscopy. Methods 180 patients undergoing colonoscopy were randondy selected as the headphone group,background music group and the control group.The headphone group listened to relaxed music with headphone after measurement of vital signs.The background music group listened to relaxed music played by CD after measurement of vital signs.The control group did not listen to music.Pain degree was measured by pain intensity number scale during colonoscopy.Heart rate,blood pressure,saturation of blood oxygen and appraisal to the music by the former two groups were observed.Results Pain degree of the headphone group and the background music group was lower than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Pain degree of the headphone group was lower than that of the background music group with no significant difference(P＞0.05).Heart rate of the control group after colonoscopy was faster than before colonoscopy(P＜0.05).Conclusions Relaxed music can alleviate pain of patients undergoing colonoscopy.Listening to background music is a convenient and economical method for alleviation of pain without any side effects for patients undergoing colonoscopy.

Objective: To observe the change of blood cell,marker of vascular endothelium and lung of rabbits during experimental severe decompression sickness(DCS) and to compare each parameter between survival group and dead group.Methods: 14 rabbits were put into the chamber.They stayed for 35mins under 0.55 MPa,and another 35 mins under 0.7 MPa,then decompressed to 0.1 MPa in 4 minutes.Samples were drew before the compression and after decompression for testing count of white blood cell(WBC),neutrophilic leukocyte,lymphocyte and platelet(PLT) and the concentration of ET-1 and the vWF.The tissue of lung of all the rabbits was observed under light and electron microscope.The changes of above parameters of survival rabbits were compared with that of the dead.Results: After rapid decompression,there were 8 rabbits died within 30 minutes,while the other 6 rabbits survived without any symptom of decompression sickness after 24 hours observation.Before the compression,the total count of WBC of dead rabbits was?(11.13?2.37)?10~(9)/L,which was higher the that of survival rabbits,(8.87?2.11)?10~(9)/L.After decompression,the decrease of PLT of dead group,(273?(63)?)10~(9)/L,was more than that of survival group,(148?63)?10~(9)/L.Ttissuedamage of lungs of both dead and survived rabbits was observed as partial alveoli collapse,interstitial edema,local emphysema,various emboli in microcirculation and thickening of respiratory membrane.The damage of lung of dead rabbits was much worse than that of the survival.Conclusion:Experimental DCS induced the increasing of circulation tension,WBC obturation,various emboli,thickening of respiratory membrane,consumption of surface active substance in the body of rabbits.Those rabbits who reacted too severe and had bad compensation ability would die,on the contrary,those rabbits who had a good compensation could survive.
