Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with the highest cause of death and increasing incidence worldwide, and the annual incidence rate is rising. The early diagnosis of HCC is very essential to its prognosis. At present, AFP has been widely used in the survey of HCC diagnosis, therapeutic effect and predict recurrence. However, the sensitivity and specificity of AFP is not satisfactory. In recent years a variety of new serum tumor markers have emerged one after another. A new serum marker-Golgi glycoprotein-73(GP-73) in early diagnosis of HCC is expected to become the new target maker,its sensitivity and specificity are better than AFP.

Objective To study the role of TNFα in the plasm a and skin and IL-1 in the serum in the formation of secondary thrombosis after skin avulsion. Methods After avulsive flap at size of 12 cm×4 cm was inflicted on the hind legs of pigs, skin specimens and venous blood sam ples were taken at various time points. The contents of TNFα in plasma and skin were determined with radio-immunoassay, and the activity of serum IL-1 wi th 3[H]-TdR. Results The TNFα contents in the plasma and skin were increased significantly after avulsion(P<0.01),which were (41 5±24) ng/L and (298±18.5) ng/L respectively on the 3rd day after the injury. T he activity of IL-1 in the serum was increased (P<0.05) and was (2.59± 0.85 ) ng/L on day 3. Conclusion The changes of TNFα contents and I L-1 activity in blood and skin play important roles in the inducetion and aggra vation of secondary tissue necrosis and early thrombosis after skin avulsion.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of herb-partitioned moxibustion at umbilicus in treating primarydysmenorrhea based on metabonomics.MethodTwenty patients with primary dysmenorrhea were randomized into two groups to respectively receive herb-partitioned moxibustion at umbilicus and moxa-stick moxibustion at umbilicus. After treatment for 3 menstrualcycles, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate abdominal pain, and LC-MS-based metabonomics analysis was adopted to detect the change of plasma metabolites.ResultAfter intervention, the VAS scores decreased with the menstrual cycles in both groups. The decrease of VAS score in herb-partitioned moxibustion group was more significant than that in moxa-stick moxibustion group (P<0.05); herb-partitioned moxibustion at umbilicus up-regulated the contents of 20α-dihydroprogesterone, pregnenolone, prostaglandin E2and?-propalanine, and down-regulated the contents of estrone and prostaglandin H2in plasma; moxa-stick moxibustion decreased the content of 5’-pyridoxal phosphate.ConclusionThe two methods both can improve abdominal pain in primary dysmenorrhea, while herb-partitioned moxibustion can produce a more significant efficacy than moxa-stick moxibustion, and its effect is possibly realized via regulating estrone, progesterone, and prostaglandin.

ObjectiveTo investigate the change of D-dimer in haemolytic disease of newborn and its clinical significance. MethodsSixty cases with haemolytic disease of newborn were divided into nonserious group(34 cases) and serious group(26 cases) by the level of bilirubin, 40 cases of normal neonatus (control group) were also selected. The levels of D-dimer and fibrinogen(FIB) were measured and compared.ResultsThe level of D-dimer in serious group and non-serious group[ (9.29 ± 11.34), (0.84 ± 0.77 ) mg/L]was higher than that in control group [ (0.45 ± 0.06) mg/L](P < 0.01 or < 0.05 ),the level of D-dimer in serious group was higher than that in non-serious group (P< 0.01 ). There was no significant difference in the level of FIB among the three groups (P > 0.05). ConclusionsThere is hypercoagulability in the serious haemolytic disease of newborn. It is valuable to detect plasma D-dimer density for serious haemolytic disease of judgement and treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and coagulation function changes in newborn hemolytic disease. Method The newborn hemolytic disease ( 60 cases, hemolytic disease group ), non-hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia (60 cases, non-hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia group) and normal newborn (60 cases,control group) were selected as the study subjects, the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were measured, and the blood platelet count at the same time was detected. Results PT and APTT in hemolytic disease group were higher than those in non-hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia group[(28.79 ?.21) s vs. (18.98?.41) s and (58.52?.13) s vs. (47.26?.81) s], and they were apparently higher than those in control group [(13.81 ?1.83) s and (38.10 ?3.00) s], the difference had statistic significance (P<0.05). There was no statistic significance to detect the blood platelet count (P> 0.05). Conclusions The newborn hemolytic disease has the bleeding tendency, and the bleeding tendency has no relationship with the quantity of the blood platelet, but relates to the extension of PT and APTT. The more serious the case is, the more obvious the PT and APTT rise. PT and APTT can be as the detection index and evaluating effect of the newborn hemolytic disease coagulation function.

Objective:To investigate the development of health management (physical examination) institutions in 2018 and provide supporting data for the development of the industry.Methods:Using the method of questionnaire survey, the data of 348 health management institutions in 30 provinces in 2018, including institution scale (area, number of people served, income), Manpower (number of medical staff, number of medical staff with Graduate Education), scientific research ability and level (number of published papers, number of scientific research projects undertaken), appropriate technology application, etc., were obtained. Then according to the province and city where the institution is located and the property of ownership, the institutions were classified and their data were analyzed.Results:In 2018, the area of health management (physical examination) institutions was 3 000 (2 000, 4 434) m 2, the annual number of people served was 5.00 (3.37, 7.97) ×10 4, the annual income was 37.91 (23.91, 61.68) million yuan RMB, and the average cost of subjects was 788 (550, 1 046) yuan RMB. There was a positive correlation between the average cost of subjects and the local per capita GDP ( r=0.438, P<0.05). The top five provinces are Beijing, Zhejiang, Chongqing, Guangdong and Sichuan. The differences of number of people served, the annual income, the average cost of subjects, number of medical staff, number of medical staff with Graduate Education, number of scientific research projects undertaken, proportion of group examination in provincial capital city, prefecture city and county city were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the excellent independent private physical examination institutions and the excellent public physical examination institutions ( P>0.05) in the above indexes, but the number of excellent independent private physical examination institutions was relatively small ( n=28, 8.05%). Conclusions:In 2018, China′s health management (physical examination) institutions have a good development momentum, the service scale continues to expand, and the quality and efficiency continue to improve. However, the development of health management (physical examination) institutions is still uneven, and there are regional differences. Some excellent independent private health examination institutions are close to or reach the level of excellent public health examination institutions, but the number is still small.

Objective To compare the cumulative analgesic effects of electroacupuncture at Sanyinjiao (SP6), Xuanzhong (GB39) and non-acupoint in treating primary dysmenorrhea. Method By adopting a multi-centered randomized controlled study method, 501 patients recruited from Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Capital Medical University, First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Huguosi Hospital of Chinese Medicine of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and the Outpatient of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomized into a Sanyinjiao group, a Xuanzhong group, and a non-acupoint group, 167 subjects in each group. The electroacupuncture intervention was applied when dysmenorrhea flared up and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ≥40 mm, with frequency at 2/100 Hz and intensity during patient’s endurance, 30 min each time, once a day, and for successive 3 d. Before the first treatment, 30 min after the first treatment, and respectively prior to the second and third treatment, VAS was used to measure the pain intensity. Meanwhile, the Retrospective Symptom Scale (RSS-COX 2) was investigated before the first treatment, right after the removal of needles for the first treatment, before the second and third treatment. Result The decrease of VAS in Sanyinjiao group was more significant than that in Xuanzhong group and non-acupoint group (MD=﹣2.92 mm, P=0.028; MD=﹣3.47 mm, P=0.009), while there was no significant difference between Xuanzhong group and non-acupoint group (MD=﹣0.56 mm, P=0.674); there were no significant differences in comparing the RSS-COX2 total score among the three groups (P=0.086). Conclusion Sanyinjiao (SP6) can produce a more significant cumulative analgesic effect for primary dysmenorrhea patient than Xuanzhong and non-acupoint, and the effects of Xuanzhong and non-acupoit are equivalent.
