Objective To apply the Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) to identify proteins differentially in serums of gastric cancer (GC) patients, gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia (IM) patients and normal control population. Methods The study included serum samples from GC group, IM group and normal control group with 45 cases each group,Proteins differentially regulated in serums were identified by the iTRAQ coupled with two-dimensional liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC-MS/MS) technology. Results 10 540 unique peptides , of which correspond to a set of 199 proteins were identified , 23 proteins were over expressed and 14 proteins were underexpressed in GC and IM.Nine immune response proteins such as Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein,C-reactive protein and Ficolin-3 were found in the differential proteins, implying a close linkage between immune response and GC. Conclusions iTRAQ technology may help to identify novel serum markers for early diagnosis of GC.

Objective To observe the effect of upper limb rehabilitation robot training on unilateral spatial neglect (USN) in stroke patients.Methods 30 stroke patients with USN were divided into control group (n=15) and observation group (n=15). Both 2 groups receivedroutine rehabilitation and USN comprehensive training after vital signs were stable. The observation group received upper limb rehabilitationrobot training additionally. Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and USN were assessed before and 8 weeksafter treatment. Results The scores of FMA and MBI and USN status were significantly improved (P<0.01), and they were better in the observationgroup than in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Upper limb rehabilitation robot training can improve USN patients' upperlimb motor function and activities of daily living, and improve the degree of USN.

Oral and maxillofacial organoids (OMOs), tiny tissues and organs derived from stem cells cultured through 3-d cell culture models, can fully summarize the cell tissue structure, physiological functions and biological characteristics of the source tissues in the body. OMOs are applied in areas such as disease modelling, developmental and regenerative medicine, drug screening, personalized treatment, etc. Although the construction of organoids in various parts of the oral and maxillofacial (OM) region has achieved considerable success, the existing cocktail formulae (construction strategies) are not widely applicable for tissues of various sources due to factors including the heterogeneity of the source tissues and the dependence on laboratory technology. Most of their formulae are based on growth factor niches containing expensive recombinant proteins with their efficiency remaining to be improved. In view of this, the cocktail formulae of various parts of the OM organs are reviewed with further discussion of the application and prospects for those OMOs to find some affordable cocktail formula with strong operability and high repeatability for various maxillofacial organs. The results may help improve the efficiency of organoid construction in the laboratory and accelerate the pace of the clinical use of organoid technology.

Objective To investigate the impairment of intertemporal choices in adolescents with positive and negative schizophrenic symptoms.Methods 30 adolescent schizophrenia patients with positive symptoms (positive symptoms group),30 adolescent schizophrenia patients with negative symptoms (negative symptoms group)and 30 healthy controls were selected.All the subjects were investigated with intertemporalchoice Test.Results (1) Under now conditions ((37.22±30.92)%,(19.67±16.35)%,P<0.05)),notnow conditions ((35.74±31.69)%,(19.33± 18.07)%,P<0.05)) and overall condition ((36.48±30.44) %,(19.50± 13.82)%,P<0.05)),the ratio of later-large (LL) choice in negative symptoms group were significantly higher than those in the healthy controls.Under now conditions ((37.22±30.92) %,(20.37±22.33) %,P<0.05)),not-now conditions ((35.74± 31.69) %,(22.04±22.05) %,P< 0.05)) and overall condition ((36.48±30.44) %,(21.20±21.57) %,P<0.05)),the ratio of LL choice in negative symptoms group were significantly higher than those in positive symptoms group.There were no differences in the ratio of LL choice between positive symptoms group and healthy controls (P> 0.05).(2)Pearson correlation analysis showed that the Vocabulary Fluency Test of negative symptoms group was positively correlated with LL selection ratio under now conditions (r=0.411,P=0.024).Conclusion The ability of intertemporal choices in adolescents schizophrenia patients with negative symptoms is impaired remarkably,while this kind of ability is impaired unremarkable in adolescence with negative symptoms.The ability of intertemporal choices in adolescents schizophrenic patients with negative symptoms is correlated with cognitive executive function.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and pathogenic types of suspected pertussis syndrome in infants,so as to provide reference for the treatment. Methods Seventy-one infants of suspected pertussis in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center from Nov 2016 to Aug 2017 were detected by the Filmarray which can detect Bordetella pertussis and 17 viruses. According to the results,the infants were divided into two groups:pertussis group(n=29) and pertussis-like group(n=42). According to the severity of the dis-ease,they were divided into mild group(n=50) and severe group(n=21). Clinical data was retrospectively analyzed and compared. Results All 71 infants came to the hospital with cough. Paroxysmal cough happened in 18 cases(62. 1%)in pertussis group,more common than that in pertussis-like group[9 cases(21. 4%)] (χ2 =12. 023,P<0. 01),and the WBC count,lymphocyte ratio,the mixed virus infection rate were higher in pertussis group than those in pertussis-like group[(20. 00 ± 8. 62) × 109/L vs. (13. 42 ± 6. 58) × 109/L,t=-3. 647,P<0. 01;(70. 38 ± 8. 97)% vs. (56. 26 ± 20. 38)%,t = -3. 967,P <0. 01;22 cases(75. 9%) vs. 16 cases(38. 1%),χ2 =9. 836,P<0. 01]. The cases of mixed bacterial infection in pertussis-like group were 13(31. 0%),which was higher than that in pertussis group[3(10. 3%)](χ2 =4. 173,P<0. 05). The incidence of cyanosis was found in 12 cases(57. 1%)in severe group,which was more common than that of mild group[12 cases(24. 0%)](χ2 =7. 260,P<0. 01), and hospitalization days were(14. 5 ± 7. 8) days, which was higher than that in mild group[(7. 0 ± 3. 1)days] (t= -4. 250, P<0. 01). The infants in the pertussis group were given macrolides antibiotics and sulfamethoxazole complex,and the infants in the pertus-sis-like group were treated with antiviral and other specific treatment. Among 71 infants, 67 cases (94. 4%) were cured and 3 cases (4. 2%) were improved. Conclusion The clinical features of suspected pertussis in infants are not typical, so the early pathogenic diagnosis is very important. Filmarray detection system for multi PCR system can detect 20 kinds of pathogens with short operation time,which is very helpful for the early and rapid diagnosis of pathogens and rational use of drugs. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
