1.Triage of women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance cytology result
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(3):230-232,240
Repeat cervical cytologic testing,human papillomavirus(HPV)testing and immediate colposcopy are currently the most general managements in women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance(ASCUS)result.However,the efficacy of these three methods is hampered by strong subjectivity,high false negative and positive rates.With the development of the aetiology of cervical cancer,there is good evidence that biomarkers for persistent HPV infection,HPV integration,instability of host genes and malignancy triage ASCUS more objectively and efficiently.The three-dimensional multiparameter biomarker-based detection may be the predominant method for the triage of women with abnormal cervical cancer screening result.

Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(1):58-61
Objective To investigate the effects of Metformin on serum proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9)level in patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM). Methods 48 healthy people with normal glucose tolerance were selected as the controls (NGT group). 93 newly diagnosed T2DM were randomized to Metformin treated group (Met,n= 47 )and Glipizide treated group (Gli,n=46).Serum PCSK9 was measured by ELISA in all participants. After treatment,the changes of serum PCSK9 were observed in Met group and Gli group. Results Serum PCSK9 levels in Met group and Gli group were higher than NGT group(P<0. 01). PCSK9 level was positively correlated with FPG,HbA1 c, HOMA-IR,FIns,TC,LDL-C,TG,hsC-RP,TNF-αand BMI (r= 0. 578,0. 638,0. 556,0. 610,0. 578, 0. 592,0. 589,0. 638,0. 561,0. 552;P<0. 05 or P<0. 01),and negatively correlated with HDL-C(r=-0. 614,P<0. 01). The levels of PCSK9 significantly decreased after treatment with Metformin(P<0. 05). PCSK9 levels had no significant differences before and after treatment with Glipizide. Multiple regression analysis showed that TNF-αand HOMA-IR were independent related factors of PCSK9. Conclusion T2DM patients have high levels of serum PCSK9 which can be decreased by Metformin.

Objective To investigate the changes of plasma bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) levels in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and rosuvastatin intervention effect on BMP-4 level.Methods Fifty-two patients with CHD and 35 health people were enrolled in this study as CHD group and control group.ELISA method was used to detect the concentration of plasma BMP-4.Analyzed the relationship between plasma BMP-4 and blood lipids,flow-mediated dilation (FMD),nitric oxide (NO),cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2),malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD).And observed the changing of plasma BMP-4 before and after rosuvastatin intervention.Results Plasma BMP-4 level in CHD patients was (7.53 ± 1.20) μg/L,higher than that of control group ((3.81 ± 0.79) μ g/L,t =3.541,P =0.006).After rosuvastatin treatment,plasma BMP-4 level in CHD patient was decreased from (7.53 ± 1.20) μg/L to (5.40± 0.98) μg/L (t =1.436,P =0.001).Plasma BMP-4 level was positively correlated with COX-2,MDA,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,total cholesterol (r =0.395,0.350,0.274,0.288 respectively,P < 0.01 or P <0.05).But,it was negatively correlated with NO,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,SOD,FMD (r =-0.291,-0.253,-0.476,-0.320 respectively,P <0.01 or P <0.05).COX-2,SOD and FMD were independent risk factors of plasma BMP-4 in patients with CHD.Conclusion Oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction are in patients with CHD.Rosuvastatin treatment can remarkably reduce plasma BMP-4 level,alleviate vascular endothelium injury induced by oxidative stress and improve endothelial function in patients with CHD.
7.Homing of bone marrow hemopoietic stem cells in infarct area following myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(27):5252-5256
BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that after bone marrow stem cell transplantation, there are juvenile cells with the episode of myocardial cells around the infarct areas, which was recognized as deriving from bone marrow stem cells.OBJECTIVE: To explore the homing situation of bone marrow stem cells by autologous mobilization around the infarct areas aftar myocardial infarction.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytological in vitro study was performed at the China-Japan Clinical Pathology Center, Daliar Medical University from February 2005 to April 2006.MATERIALS: A total of 30 myocardial samples from the autopsy at the Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Dalian Medical University between 2000 and 2005. Fifteen normal samples dyed from the mechanical injuries or craniocerebral injury,without abnormity following autopsy. Fifteen samples in the myocardial infarction group suffered from coronary atherosclerosis and coronary tube stenosis, and died within 10 days after myocardial infarction.METHODS: The autopsy was performed within 48 hours after the death and the tissues were obtained from antedor wall, lateral wall and posterior wall of the left ventricle, and made into tissue sections. We checked the expression of CD34, CD133 and transforming growth factor-β, in the normal area, infarct area and around the infarct area by immunohistochemistry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of CD34, CD133 and transforming growth factor-β in different areas and the relationship between them.RESULTS: The positive expression of CD34 in infarct area was significantly stronger than that around the infarct area and in normal area (P < 0.01). The positive expression of transforming growth factor-β in infarct area was significantly stronger than that around the infarct area (P < 0.01), and the expression of transforming growth factor-β showed negative reactJon in normal area. The expression of CD34, CD133 and transforming growth factor-β, in infarct areas and around the infarct area was closely related (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: There are the homing of bone marrow hemopoietic stem cells in infarct area and around the infarct ares after myocardial infarction. The increase in transforming growth factor-β in infarct area provides the possibility for the differentiation of the homing stem cells, the following angiogenesis and the regeneration of cardiomyocytes.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of triptolide(TP)on the proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA)in vitro. METHODS:5 RA patients received knee arthroplasty or synovectomy to ob-tain synovial tissue. FLS was isolated,cultured and identified,and then incubated in the presence of TP [0 (blank control),50, 100 and 200 nmol/ml] for 24,48 and 72 h. The effects of TP on FLS was evaluated by MTT,and then proliferation inhibitory rate was calculated;flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis and cell cycle of FLS. RESULTS:The inhibitory rates of TP(50, 100 and 200 nmol/ml)on the proliferation of FLS were 17.46%-52.56%,which was positively correlated with drug concentration. Compared with blank control group,100 and 200 nmol/ml TP could increase the percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase and decrease the percentage of cells in S phase,with statistical significance(P<0.05);200 nmol/ml TP could induce cell apoptosis. CONCLU-SIONS:TP could inhibit the proliferation and also could induce the apoptosis of FLS in RA patients in vitro,which may be one of its mechanism for treating RA.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2017;36(1):53-56
Objectives To clarify the differential diagnostic value for iron deficiency anemia (IDA)and anemia of chronic disease(ACD)with analysis method of multiple parameters.Methods The serum concentrations of iron parameters (SI,TIBC,TF,SF and sTfR),inflammatory index(IL-1,IL-6,TNF-β),CRP and hepcidin were detected in patients with IDA and ACD by biochemical method and ELISA respectively.Results In the differential diagnosis of IDA versus ACD,the SF (98.6 versus 6.0,P=0)and sTfR/logSF[(13.1-±-4.4) versus (27.6 ± 16.5),P=0.002] had clinical value for the differential diagnosis.Inflammatory factors level was increased in two groups,only the difference in CRP between IDA and ACD showed a statistical significance.The hepcidin had the clinical value in differential diagnosis for single disease diagnosis of IDA and ACD and for differential diagnosis between IDA and ACD [(144.6 ±-1.9) versus (86.5-±-3.1),P< 0.05].Correlation analysis showed that the sTfR/logSF had a significantly negative correlation with SI(P=0.002),a significantly positive correlation with TIBC and TRF,and no significant correlation with inflammatory factors.The hepcidin had significantly positive correlation with IL-6 and TNF-β,and a significantly negative correlation with SI.The positive correlation was observed between sTfR/logSF and Hepcidin(r=0.376,P=0.005).Conclusions Analysis method of multiple parameters could make a differential diagnosis of ACD in the elderly.
