Clinical Medicine of China 2014;(6):574-576
Objective To investigate the change of peripheral blooe natural killer(NK)cell subsets of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion( RSA),in oreer to proviee the relevant scientific evieence for unexplainee recurrent spontaneous abortion( URSA) eiagnosis ane treatment. Methods Sixty-three RSA patients were raneomly eivieee into CRSA(n = 33)ane URSA(n = 30). Meanwhile 30 cases normal pregnancy women were selectee as control. Flow cytometry was appliee to eetect NK cell levels in patients with RSA ane its subsets percentage,ane then comparee to the control group. Results NK cells subset in RSA,URAS ane normal pregnancy women were(13. 77 ± 1. 53)% ,(13. 97 ± 1. 60)% ,ane(13. 65 ± 1. 74)%. There was no significant eifference among three groups( F = 0. 287,P > 0. 05). The percent of CD56 + CD16 - ,CD56 +CD16 + ,CD56 - CD16 + NK cell subsets in RAS group were:(70. 00 ± 2. 49)% ,(13. 76 ± 2. 13)% ,(7. 04 ± 1. 44)% respectively,ane(56. 50 ± 3. 94)% ,(22. 88 ± 3. 22)% ,(11. 24 ± 2. 21)% in URAS group, meanwhile(70. 48 ± 3. 21)% ,(14. 16 ± 2. 14)% ,(6. 53 ± 1. 98)% in normal pregnancy group. There was no significant eifference between RSA ane normal pregnancy group( P > 0. 05). However,There was markeely eifference between URSA with RSA or normal group(F = 182. 587,18. 118,58. 879,P < 0. 05). Conclusion NK cell activity function plays a key role in the eevelopment of URSA. The eetection of the percentage of NK cell subsets of women euring pregnancy will help RSA monitoring ane NK cell subsets can preeict the percentage change in the pregnancy outcome .

In 2010, the artificial synthesis of Mycoplasma mycoides triggers the new era of synthetic biology. This great breakthrough is achieved mainly thanks to the powerful DNA recombinant ability of yeast. In recent years, except for the methods used for large DNA assembly on the basis of in vivo homologous recombination, various different DNA assembly methods in vitro, based on the concept of DNA ligation or polymerization, have also been developed, such as Biobrick\BglBrick, SLIC and Gibson one-step assembly. Application of these new technologies has greatly accelerated the construction of synthetic part libraries, biosynthetic pathway and even microbial chromosomes. In fact, all DNA assembly methods are derived from the combinations of DNA joining and organizational schemes. This review describes the brief introduction of the main in vivo and in vitro DNA assembly protocols developed so for, which will benefit the construction of different types of synthetic functional devices and also biosynthetic pathways in the research of synthetic biology in China.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of PET-CT to diagnose breast cancer and the axiUary lymph nodes metastasis. Methods 40 patients with breast cancer performed PET-CT were enrolled in the research. Qualitation the primary tumor and accuracy of PET-CT were evaluated on pathological results and compared with axillary lymph nodes dissection. To analyzed the concordance of the size of primary tumor on pathological result with B-mode ultrasonic and PET-CT and the correlation with the SUV. Results The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of PET-CT in identifying breast cancer were 95%, 94%, 100%. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of PET-CT based on the situation of the axillary lymph node dissection were 88.2% 89.2% 83.3%. A significant association was found between tumor weiweihong and PET-CT, furthermore it had not association with SUV. Conclusion The diagnosis of PET-CT in identifying breast cancer and the axillary lymph node metastasis basically conforms to pathology. It possesses high sensitivity and specificity especially in identifying the size of the primary lesion. It offers a beneficial method to determine the axillary lymph node dissection and reasonable therapeutic regimen.

Objective To observe the benefits and harms of nilestriol in elderly women with hypertension.Methods Forty-one elderly women with hypertension who had received antihypertensive therapy were randomly divided into two groups. Women in group A (n=21) received oral nilestriol, wherase those in group B(n=20) received oral placebo for six months. Blood sugar(Bs), blood lipids, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1(sICAM-1),E-selectin and plasma fibrinogen(Fbg),tissue-type plasminogen activator antigen(tPA),plasminogen activator inhibitor 1(PAI-1),von Willebrand factor(vWF) were measured before starting treatment and 6th month after treatment.Results Levels of total cholesterol(TC),Fbg,tPA,PAI-1,vWF,sICAM-1,E-selectin in group A were significantly lower than those in group B.Conclusions In elderly women with hypertension, nilestriol could improve the metabolism of lipids,endotheliocytes function,inflammation factors expression,thrombosis and hemostasis.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of cardiovascular risk factors in coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.Methods A total of 400 patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital was divided into multiple vascular lesion group,single vascular lesions group,and non-CAD group according to the result of CAG and their clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.The correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery lesions was analyzed,and the independent risk factor of CAD was screened by multi-factorial logistic regression analysis.Results There was significant difference in total cholesterol (TC),triglycerides (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC),fasting blood glucose (FBG),inflammatory cells,carotid artery plaque,brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) between the CAD group and the non-CAD group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).The number of coronary artery lesion branch was increased significantly when risk factors,such as age,body mass index(BMI),hypertension,diabetes mellitas,smoking,carotid artery plaque,TG,TC,low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),FBG,WBC,monocytes (M),neutrophils (N),neutrophils/lymphocytes (N/L),baPWV,and Hs-CRP.Other risk factors including TC,HDL-C,L were decreased with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).There was no significant relation among,and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)%.The most significant risk factor was carotid artery plaque that was independently associated with coronary heart disease (b =1.264,P < 0.01),followed by smoking (b =1.204,P <0.01),HDL-C (b =1.104,P <0.01),TC (b =1.082,P <0.01) diabetes mellitus (b =0.956,P <0.01),baPWV increased (b =0.741,P <0.01),WBC (b=0.721,P <0.01),hypertension (b =0.602,P <0.01),the age (b =0.538,P <0.01),and HsCRP(b =0.421,P < 0.01).Conclusions The results suggest that the hypertension,hyperlipidemia,smoking,age,baPWV,inflammatory cells,Hs-CRP,and carotid artery plaque was a significant independent CHD risk factors.
