ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical significance of han nationality and kazak hepatitis B virus large surface protein detection.MethodsEnzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) method was used to examine the HBV-LP、HBV markers and quantitative real-time PCR methods were used to detect the HBV DNA in 270 patients with Hepatitis B.ResultsAmong the 270 cases,there was no significant difference between the levels of HBV DNA and HBV-LP( P ＞ 0.05 )in HBe Ag-positive patients,which was not affected by nationality.Significant difference of positive rate was observed between HBV-LP and HBV DNA( P ＜0.05) in HBe Ag-negative ones,which was not affected by nationality.HBV-Lp expression was significantly correlated with the logarithm of HBV DNA level ( r =0.986,P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThere was higher coincidence rate between the levels of HBV-LP and HBV DNA in HBeAg--positive patients.The positive rate of HBV-LP was higher than that of HBV DNA in HBe Ag-negative patients.HBV-LP could serve as a reliable marker in the reflection of HBV the replication at protein level,and it was valuable to monitor HBV replication and prognosis of the disease,especially in HBe Ag-negative HBV infected patients.

AIM: To investigate the mechanism underlying insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake during low-flow myocardial ischemia. METHODS: The expression of myocardial GLUT1 polypeptide was determined by semiquantitative immunoblotting. The expression of GLUT1 mRNA was determined by semiquantitative Northern blotting. RESULTS: After infusing insulin during low- flow myocardial ischemia for 8 h，the expression of both GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT1 polypeptide was significantly higher in experimental myocardium than that in normal myocardium. The glucose uptake was upregulated at the same time in the exprimental myocardium. CONCLUSION: Insulin enhances the expression of GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT1 polypeptide in ischemic myocardial regions. GLUT1 expression may be an important mechanism by which myocardial cells enhance glucose uptake and metabolism during low-flow myocardial ischemia.

Objective: To investigate whether there is additi ve effects of hyperinsulinemia and ischemia on expression of canine myocardial G LUT4 gene in vivo. Methods: The expression of myocardial GLU T4 was determined by semiquantitative immunoblotting.The expression of GLUT4 mRN A was determined by semiquantitative Northern blotting. Results: Dramatic changes were seen in GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 expression in the ischemic hearts.After infusing insulin for 8 h,regional GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 levels in is chemic hearts were 2.5, 2.3-fold that of expression in normal hearts(P<0.01 ). Myocardial glucose uptake in ischemic hearts was increased by 4-fold when co mpared with normal hearts(P<0.01). Conclusion: There are not only additive effects of hyperinsulinemia and low-flow ischemia on canine myoc ardial GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 expression in vivo, but also increase of myocar dial glucose uptake. Enhanced GLUT4 expression may be an important protective m echanism by which myocardial cells enhance glucose uptake and metabolism during low-flow ischemia.

Objective　To investigate the mechanism for that insulin facilitates increase of glucose uptake. Methods　The expression of myocardial GLUT4 polypeptide was determined by semiquantitative immunoblotting. The expression of GLUT4 mRNA was determined by semiquantitative Northern blotting. Results　After infusing insulin for 8　hours，the　expression　of　GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 polypeptide was significantly higher in canine myocardium than in　those　found normal ones. The glucose uptake was upregulated at　the　same　time．Conclusions　Our findings suggest that insulin facilitates the expression of GLUT4 mRNA and GLUT4 polypeptide in canine hearts. Enhanced GLUT4 expression is one of the important molecular mechanism by which myocardial cells enhance glucose uptake by insulin stimulation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the treatment and prognosis of the patients with squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid. METHOD: The clinical data of all patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid in our hospital from Dec. 1994 to Dec. 2008 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULT: The overall 1-year, 3-year survival rates were 36.4% and 9.1% respectively. The median survival time was 8 months. Survival analysis showed the patients receiving surgery and postoperative radiotherapy had a better prognosis. CONCLUSION The prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid was poor; the patients with squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid maybe get a better prognosis by receiving surgery and postoperative radiotherapy.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of VEGF in angiogenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue. METHOD: Serum and tissue VEGF were detected by the quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method both in 62 nasopharyngeal carcinoma without therapy and 20 nasopharyngitis. The expression of microvessel density in tissue of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and nasopharyngitis were detected by immunohistochemical method. RESULT: (1) There was no significant relationship compared VEGF and MVD in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient, gender and ages (P>0.05), while the expression of VEGF and MVD in later stage (III+IV) were significant higher than that in earlier stage (I+I) (P<0.01), and in positive lymph node group or metastasis group were higher than in negative group (P<0.01); (2) The expression of VEGF and MVD in nasopharyngeal carcinoma serum and tissue were higher than in nasopharyngitis (P<0.05); (3) There was positive correlation between VEGF and MVD in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue (r=0.865, P<0.01), but negative correlation in their serum (r=0.328, P>0.05). CONCLUSION VEGF could induce angiogenesis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue, and play an important role in progression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, VEGF could be an important marker for monitoring prognosis of disease.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of bowel preparation quality in hospitalized elderly patients, and to find the appropriate waiting time from the end of bowel preparation to the beginning of colonoscopy.Methods:Baseline and clinical data of elderly patients over 60 years old who underwent colonoscopy in the Tenth People′s Hospital, Tongji University from February 2021 to August 2021 were collected. Multivariate analysis was used to screen the factors that might affect the quality of bowel preparation in hospitalized elderly patients. Patients were grouped according to waiting time before colonoscopy. After eliminating confounding factors using propensity matching analysis, the difference of bowel preparation quality among groups was compared.Results:251 patients were included in the study. Multivariate analysis revealed that, hypertension ( OR=3.530, 95% CI 1.295-9.618), chronic constipation ( OR=3.302,95% CI 1.132-9.632), dietary compliance ( OR=0.161, 95% CI 0.070-0.371), medication and drinking water compliance ( OR=0.167, 95% CI 0.070-0.397), exercise compliance after medication ( OR=2.245, 95% CI 1.040-4.845), The frequency of defecation after medication ( OR=0.446, 95% CI 0.308-0.647) and waiting time ( OR=0.537, 95% CI 0.387-0.745) were important factors affecting the quality of bowel preparation in hospitalized elderly patients ( P<0.05). There were differences in bowel preparation quality between groups of waiting times. The overall quality of bowel preparation in 120-180 min group was significantly better than that in 241-300 min group, 301-360 min group and>360 min group ( P<0.05). The overall quality of bowel preparation in 181-240 min group was better than that in >360 min group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences among other groups( P>0.05). The scores of cecum and ascending colon were the best in 120-180 min group, and the cleanliness of descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum was significantly higher in 241-300 min group, 301-360 min group and > 360 min group. The scores of descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum showed that the intestinal preparation quality of 181-240 min group was better than that of 301-360 min group and > 360 min group. Conclusions:The best examination time for elderly patients is about 180 minutes after bowelpreparation. Medical workers should flexibly guide the medication time to ensure that patients are in the best clean state of intestinal tract during examination.
