microRNA(miR) in body fluids shows good stability and the change in its expression profile and level is associated with cancer and other diseases.Thus,circulating miR has been proposed to be an useful biomarker in diagnosis of the onset,prognosis and risk of diseases.Although great discoveries have been obtained on all aspects of miR,there are some shortcomings existing in the present studies,such as inconsistent specimens,diverse detection methods,lack of standardization on data analysis and other defects,resulting in poor reproducibility of data and inconsistent clinical conclusion,that make circulating miR difficult to be used in clinical laboratory testing.So lots of work is needed for us to implement,such as standardizing sample selection,improving detection reagents and methods,and normalizing test results before we can ultimately establish a fast,easy,low-cost detection of circulating miR in the clinical laboratory.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the level of resistin and the insulin resistance(IR) and the incorporation of microamount albuminuria(MA) of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsTwo hundred and twenty T2DM patients and 40 normal subjects (control group) were enrolled in this study.Two hundred and twenty T2DM patients were divided into 4 groups,IR group (group A,79 cases),non-IR group (group B,48 cases),IR complicating MA group (group C,51 cases),non-IR complicating MA group(group D,42 cases).The fasting serum resistin was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA),and the fasting plasma glucose (FPG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),fasting insulin (FINS) was also determined.ResultsThe level of fasting serum resistin in group A,B,C and D was higher than that in control group [(33.45 ± 1.37),(23.36 ± 1.47),(44.45 ± 1.39),(37.45 ±1.57) μ g/L vs.( 17.44 ± 1.26 ) μ g/L],and there was significant difference among 5 groups (P ＜ 0.01 ).The level of fasting serum resistin in group A was higher than that in group B (P ＜ 0.01 ),and the level of fasting serum resistin in group C was higher than that in group D (P ＜ 0.01 ).The level of fasting serum resistin was both higher in group C and D than that in goup A and B (P＜ 0.01 ).Correlation analysis showed the fasting serum resistin was positively correlated with body mass index(BMI),FPG,HbA1c and FINS in group A(r =0.35,0.46,0.37,0.49,P ＜0.05),and the fasting serum resistin was positively correlated with HbA1c,BMI,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in group C(r =0.45,0.32,0.37,0.29,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsSerum resistin may participate in the process of IR and the formation of MA.It may become one of the diagnostic standard of the IR and one of the important index to estimate the MA.

Objectives To study the impact of initial age of treatment on testicular morphology and function in male pa-tients with multiple pituitary hormone deficiency using human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and human menopausal gonadotro-pin (hMG). Methods Patients with multiple pituitary hormone deficiency were treated with hCG and hMG while keeping other hormone levels normal. Correlations among their testicular volume, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and height, bone age were analyzed. Results After 6-month hCG and hMG treatment, the penis length of 54 male patients was significantly increased from (2.58 ± 0.69) cm to (4.19 ± 0.77) cm , and penis circumference was also increased from (3.71 ± 1.36) cm to (5.95 ± 1.26) cm;the testicular volume was increased from (1.76 ± 1.49) ml to (5.20±2.30) ml;height was increased from (147.01 ± 12.29) cm to (151.98 ± 11.52) cm and bone age was increased from (11.22 ± 2.71) years to (11.64 ± 2.72) years;the differences before and after treatment were statistically significant (all P<0.01). As the patients' age increased, their testicular volume and testosterone level increased slowly, and significant differences amongst each age group were found (P<0.05). The in-creased value of testicular volume, serum FSH and LH levels, and height growth tended to be negatively correlated to the initial age of therapy (r=-0.517~-0.334, P<0.05). Conclusions Early and proper treatment in male patients with multiple pituitary hormone deficiency using hCG and hMG improves testicular function and secondary sex characteristics.

Objective To evaluate biomeehanic characteristics of lumbar spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis single vertebrae reduction fixation system (LSRF), and discuss its mechanism of reduction. Method Twenty-four adult isthmus lumbar vertebrae specimen were disconnected and fixed with LSRF, Hefti, Salib's method respectively, and the biomechanic characteristics of the fixation devices were tested. Isthmus of L5 in 4 adult spine specimen was destroyed under loading to produce the spondylolisthesis model, and reduction by LSRF. Result The LSRF has a good ability for reduction and its strength for reduction is 1.6, 2.7 times as high compared with the Hefti, Salib's methods respectively. The mechanism of reduction is that the LSRF used contacted point of lamina by lamina hook as the fulcrum, through the pedicle screw to pull the spondylolisthetic vertebrae, and reduce the anterior displacement of vertebrae. Conclusion LSRF gives rigid fixation and good reduction, and provides a new and effective method for lumbar spondylolysis and isthmic spondylolisthesis.

Substances that might potentially alter the measurable concentration of the analyte or alter the binding ability of detection antibody can lead to immunoassay interference. Endogenous interferences consist of autoantibodies, heterophiles antibodies, human anti-animal antibodies (HAAA) and some binding proteins. Lipidemia, cross-reactivity, pre-analytical variation, matrix and different detection equipments may also affect immunoassay. These interfering substances may cause falsely increased or decreased concentration in many analytes, including hormones, tumor markers, drugs, cardiac tropanin and microbial serology, thus it will affect the diagnosis of patients and the evaluation of therapeutic strategies Laboratorians and physicians should both be aware of the potential interference in immunoassays and communicate closely when any clinical discordance between the clinical and the laboratory data appears, avoiding a subsequent wrong diagnosis and unwarranted treatment. In this case, an alternative assay or measurement is needed for the potential correct results.

Objectives A rat model sciatic nerve crush injury was reproduced in rat,and behavioral changes,pain threshold,thermal withdrawal latency(TWL)and the changes in c-fos expression in cornu dorsale medullae spinalis were examined,and the relationship between peripheral nerve regeneration and hyperpathia was explored.Methods 40 male Wistar rats weighing 180-200g were randomly divided into sciatic nerve injury group(group A,n=20)and sham-operation group(group B,n=20).The right sciatic nerve of rats in group A was crushed with a hemostat in the middle of the nerve for 30 seconds,until the nerve appeared translucent.The right sciatic nerve of rats in group B was only exposed without crush injury under the same anesthesia.Behavioral response,pain threshold and TWL were assessed on 18,21,24,27,30,33,36 and 39d after operation.c-fos expression was examined immunohistochemically on 21,27,33 and 39d after operation after rats were euthanized.Results The cumulative pain scores of group A were higher than those of group B at every time point(P

OBJECTIVE:To observe the short-term efficacy and ADR of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate(TDF)in the treatment of multi-drug resistant chronic hepatitis B(CHB). METHODS:32 patients with multi-drug resistant CHB were analyzed retrospec-tively,and HBV drug-resistant genes were detected before treatment;there were a number of points to resistance;they were gave TDF orally. The recovery rate of serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT),HBV-DNA conversion rate,lactic acid and renal function were observed before and after treatment. RESULTS:The recovery rate of ALT reached 100% at 3 months,and the conversion rate of HBV-DNA reached 96.88%. The lactic acid levels and renal dysfunction was not found during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:TDF take effect quickly on multi-drug resistant CHB,and no obvious ADR is found.
