International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(24):3362-3363
Objective To explore the clinical value of prenatal screening by detecting α-fetoprotein(AFP),β-human chorionic gonadotrophin(β-HCG)and free estriol(u-E3)levels in the second trimester of pregnancy.Methods AFP,β-HCG and u-E3 were de-tected in 3 595 second trimester pregnant women by chemiluminescence.The risk value was calculated by combining with the factors of age,pregnant weeks,body weight,etc.Then the high-risk pregnant women were carried out the amniotic fluid cells chromosome karyotype analysis and B-ultrasonic examination.Results Among 3 595 pregnant women,the screening positive rates of Down′s syndrome(DS),Edward′s syndrome(ES)and neural tube defects(NTD)were 3.70%(133/3 595),0.11%(4/3 595)and 1.44%(52/3 595)respectively.In the prenatal screening,there were 189 cases of high risk pregnant women,among them 87 cases were per-formed the prenatal diagnosis of amniotic fluid cells chromosome karyotype analysis and B-ultrasonic examination,6 cases were defi-nitely diagnosed,in which 3 cases were DS,2 cases were NTD and 1 case was ES.Conclusion Prenatal screening is a non-invasive detection method and has the important clinical application value for avoiding the birth of DS,ES and NTD neonates.

To study the effect of unilateral vocal cord paralysis on vocal vibration, EGG parameters of 46 patients were analysed. EGG of most patients were abnormal, CQ decreasing while CI, CQP and CIP increasing. The incidence of normal EGG in patients whose vocal cord located in the middle was higher than that in the para - middle. Inversely, the incidence of abnormal EGG - CQ of the former was lower than that of the latter. EGG of the group in the intermediate was abnormal. The position of paralyzed vocal cord had no effect on CI,CQP and CIP. EGG reflects the characteristics of per vibratory cycle, and is a potential technique to study the irregular vocal vibration.

Objective To explore the expression of discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) in rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat (PQ) poisoning, and its relationship with the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). Methods 120 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into control group and 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg PQ poisoning groups (each n = 30). Pulmonary fibrosis induced by PQ poisoning model was reproduced by one time administration of 20, 40, 80 mg/kg of 20% PQ, and the rats in control group were given 4 mL normal saline. Fifteen rats in control and different doses of PQ groups were sacrificed at 7 days and 21 days after intragastric administration, and lung tissues were collected. Pulmonary fibrosis was observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The immune-histochemical method was used to determine the expressions of DDR1 and TGF-β1. The relationship between the expression of TGF-β1 and DDR1 was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results The rats in control group were active, and no pathological changes in lung tissue were found. The rats in PQ groups became shortness of breath, bristles, and slow reaction etc. 0.5 hours after intragastric administration. After 7 days, the lung tissue was dark red, hard texture, appearance of yellow soil fiber nodules and obsolete hemorrhage, destruction of alveolar structure. The extent of lung injury increased gradually with the time of poisoning and the increase of PQ dose. It was shown by immune-histochemical staining that the control group had only a small amount of DDR1 and TGF-β1 positive expressions; in PQ groups, there were a large number of DDR1 and TGF-β1 positive expression particles in the alveolar wall, pulmonary interstitial and alveolar cavity. It was displayed by quantitative analysis that compared with the control group, DDR1 and TGF-β1 expressions were significantly increased in 20, 40, 80 mg/kg PQ groups with time- and dose-dependent [DDR1 (integral A value): 0.221±0.014, 0.249±0.021, 0.364±0.016 vs. 0.121±0.036 at 7 days; 0.247±0.025, 0.321±0.015, 0.432±0.027 vs. 0.139±0.021 at 21 days; TGF-β1 (integral A value): 0.230±0.016, 0.265±0.015, 0.339±0.016 vs. 0.129±0.032 at 7 days; 0.248±0.011, 0.295±0.016, 0.399±0.026 vs. 0.119±0.026 at 21 days; all P < 0.05]. It was shown by Pearson correlation analysis that DDR1 expression was positively correlated with TGF-β1 expression with the increase of PQ dose and poisoning time (DDR1 with TGF-β1: r = 0.996, P < 0.000; DDR1 with PQ dose: r = 0.985, P < 0.000; DDR1 with poisoning time: r = 0.989, P < 0.000; TGF-β1 with PQ dose: r = 0.992, P < 0.000; TGF-β1 with poisoning time: r = 0.972, P < 0.000). Conclusions The expression of DDR1 in the lung tissue in PQ poisoning rats showed a time- and dose-dependent change, and it was positively correlated with TGF-β1 expression. DDR1 may be involved in the process of pulmonary fibrosis induced by PQ poisoning.

Objective To systematically evaluate the curative effect and safety of treating winter diseases in summer acupoint application therapy for asthma in children.Methods The domestic and international databases were retrieved till Feb 2017.The randomized controlled trials about treatment of treating winter diseases in summer acupoint application therapy for children with asthma were identified.The methodology quality of included trials was assessed.Results A total of 3 RCT involving 146 patients were included.The compositions of Chinese medicines and acupuncture points used were quite diverse,which inhibited us to conduct meta-analysis.The methodological quality of included RCT was generally lower.The results showed that treating winter diseases in summer acupoint application therapy might have advantage in reducing asthma acute attack times and improving clinical symptoms and respiratory function.Conclusion treating winter diseases in summer acupoint sticking therapy for asthma in children may have some advantages,however,due to the lack of a number of trials and poor methodology quality,the claimed benefits of treating winter diseases in summer acupoint sticking therapy for for children with asthma are inconclusive;more rigorous studies are warranted to support clinical practice.
9.How to improve the level of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer: private opinions.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2012;15(7):649-653
At present, the level of diagnosis and treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer has a larger gap between China and developed countries. In recent years, the advent of new endoscopic imaging techniques has improved the detection rate of early gastrointestinal cancer. Along with this, endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) enables radical resection for early cancer. In this article, we discuss how to improve the level of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of early gastrointestinal cancer.

Objective To investigate the expression of long chain non-coding(lnc) RNA LOC285194 in breast cancer tissue and paracancerous tissue and its clinical significance.Methods Forty-two samples of paraffin embedded breast cancer tissue and 16 samples of paraffin embedded paracancerous tissue were selected.The expression of lncRNA LOC285194 in these tissue were detected by using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Then its correlation with clinicopathological features was analyzed.Results The expression level of lncRNA LOC285194 in breast cancer tissue was significantly lower that in the paracancerous tissue (P<0.01);the level of lncRNA LOC285194 in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2)overexpression tissues was up-regulated compared with HER2 negative breast cancer tissue(P =0.013),there was a positive correlation between them(r=0.385,P=0.012).Conclusion lncRNA LOC285194 may play the role of cancer suppressor gene and may be involved in the generation of breast cancer by HER2 association,which may become a target gene of breast cancer treatment.
