V infection group than in no infection group,while positive rate of other autoantibodies was not statistically different between the two groups.Conclusion Renal EBV infection may involve in the pathogenesis of LN by inducing the production of anti-Sm-Ab.

Objective To investigate the incidence of miocardial infarction and risk factors in patients with different levels TG.Methods From June 2006 to October 2007,Kailuan coal mine group conducted an on-the-job and retired workers were took physical examination in Kailuan area,and their results were used in our study(n=100 271).According to different levels of TG,all cases were divided into five groups(TG1-5):TG1 group(0.01

Objective To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of rotavirus and enteric adenovirus antigen fluorescent nanoparticles rapid combined detection test strip.Methods The specimen including rotavirus,enteric adenovirus,and other enteric pathogens and 140 cases of patients with symptoms of gastrointestinal infection.The performance was analyzed after fluorescent nanoparticles rapid combined detection test strip and coloredmicrospheres rapid detection test strips were used to detect the same sample.Result The sensitivity of fluorescent nanoparticles rapid combined detection test strip is significantly higher than coloredmicrospheres rapid test strip and no specific reaction with Coxsachievirus (type A16),ECHO virus (type 30) and enterovirus (type 71).Conclusion The sensitivity of fluorescent nanoparticles rapid combined detection test strips is significantly higher than coloredmicrospheres rapid detection test strip,and the specificity is good.

Objective:To investigate levels of autophagy in T cells and B cell of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE) and its clinical significance.Methods: 68 SLE patients without treatment within 4 weeks were enrolled in this study.We accessed the levels of autophagy in T cells and B cells of 23 healthy controls and 68 patients before and after treatment by flow cytometry,and analyzed their correlations with serum levels of C3 and anti-dsDNA antibodies,SLEDAI score,et al.Results: Before treatment,a significantly increased levels of LC3-Ⅱ was observed in SLE patients than healthy controls, the active group ( SLEDAI score≥10) was significantly higher than the stable group(SLEDAI score<10),and the newly diagnosed group was significantly higher than the recurrent group(all P<0.05).While the levels of LC3-Ⅱ was decreased in B lymphocytes in SLE patients,the active group was significantly lower than stable group,and the active group was significantly lower than the newly diagnosed group(all P<0.05). Correlation analysis found that,a positively correlation was observed for the levels of LC3-Ⅱwith SLEDAI score in T lymphocyte( rs=0.289,P<0.05),and the levels of C3 were positively correlated the levels of LC3-Ⅱ in B lymphocyte(rs=0.371,P<0.01).After treatment for five days, levels of autophagy in T lymphocytes of SLE patients with good prognosis ( SLEDAI score decreased ≥4 ) significantly decreased(P<0.05).Also,three days after treatment,levels of autophagy in B lymphocytes of SLE patients with good prognosis were increased significantly ( P<0.05 ) .However, SLE patients with poor prognosis had no such difference ( P>0.05 ) . Conclusion:Levels of autophagy in T and B lymphocytes of SLE patients are abnormal compared to healthy controls,and these changes are associated with disease activity.Also,these changes are expected to be the indicators of disease activity and potential therapeutic targets in SLE.
