Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of interleukin -6 (IL -6)in aggressive and indolent lymphoma patients.Methods Serum specimens obtained from 1 07 non -Hodgkin's lympho-ma (NHL)patients and 50 healthy controls were collected.Chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to assess the expression of IL -6 in the serum.Results The level of serum IL -6(1 8.54 ±4.53)ng/L in aggressive lymphoma group was significantly higher than (6.90 ±1 .78)ng/L in the inert lymphoma group,and the serum IL -6 levels of two groups were significantly higher than the healthy control group (3.87 ±0.76)ng/L.The lymphoma patients,with B symptoms,elevated CRP or bone marrow involvement presented higher IL -6 level than the other patients (P <0.05).IL -6 level of the IPI high -risk group was higher than the intermediate -risk group and low -risk group, with significant difference (P <0.05 ).The correlation study showed that IL -6 and CRP,IPI /FLIPI,Ann Arbor stage,B symptoms,bone marrow involvement had significantly positive correlation (P <0.05);Through analysis of the effect of the patients with aggressive lymphoma,the serum level of IL -6 in patients with complete remission was sig-nificantly higher than the non complete remission group.By Logistic regression analysis,IL -6 was one of the inde-pendent risk factors affecting the treatment effect of NHL,and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion The serum IL -6 was significantly elevated in NHL patients,in association with tumor invasion,progno-sis and therapeutic effect.IL -6 may help the diagnosis and prognosis of NHL.

A PP plastic film for food packaging (0. 1 mm) was prepared by adding two antioxidants of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-phenol(BHT) and pentaerythritol tetrakis ( 3-( 3, 5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl ) propionate)(Irganox 1010) with different concentrations into polypropylene (PP) resin, then mixing extrusion granulate by the double screw plastic extruder and hot pressing the film at 190℃. The migration amount of the two antioxidants in food simulants (95% ethanol) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detector (PDA) (detection wavelength is 282 nm). The migration of BHT was detected and Irganox 1010 was not detected. Based on the large amount of experimental data, the migration model was fitted by a software, then the migration model of antioxidant BHT was established, the applicability of the two migration model was compared with the actual data. The results showed that the fitting degree ( R2 ) of Weibull model to the actual migration result was greater than 0. 99 and better than Piringer model. It was found that there was a mathematical relationship as τ≈12. 2 ( L2/D) between parameters of Weibull model and Piringer model.

Objective The study was to investigate the relationship among angiotensin 1-converting enzyme(ACE), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1)gene polymorphisms and the common carotid artery (CCA-IMT), and the predicting effects of them on CCA-IMT in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods The polymorphisms of ACE (I/D) gene and PAI-I (4G/5G) gene were deter-mined by polymemse chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) method in 308 cases with T2DM. CCA-IMT was compared among the groups with different genotypes of ACE and PAI-1. The in-dependent or synergistic effects of the ACE I/D and PAI-1 40/5G polymorphisms on CCA-IMT in 308 patients with T2DM were analyzed with multivariate linear regression. Then the 156 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics (durations< I year) without AS received the maltifactorial targeted intervention, including taking aspirin and controlling blood glucose, blood pressure, blood lipid and body weight. The differences of metabolic control, ACE (I/D) and PAId (40/5G) gene polymorphisms were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the eorrelation among the CCA-IMT, ACE (I/D) and PAI-1 (4G/5G) polymorphisms. Results Patients with ACE DD genotypes had higher CCA-IMT than those with ACE-Ⅱ or ACE ID genotypes. Patients with both ACE DD and PAI-1 404G genotypes had a higher CCA-IMT than those with any other pairs of genotypes. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that ACE DD and PAI-1 4G4G gene polymorphisms had synergistic effect on the CCA-IMT in T2DM patients. After 2 years multifactorial intervention, the frequencies of PAI-1 4G alleles and 404G genotypas were lower than those in the CCA-IMT non-inereasing group. Conclusions These findings indicate that the ACE-DD geno-type and its synergistic effects with the PAI-1 4G/4G genotype are independent risk factors for the CCA-IMT in T2DM patients. Under multi-factorial intervention for 2 years, PAI-1 4G/4G genotype may be a negative predictor for the progression of CCA-IMT in T2DM patients.

Objective To explore the correlation between CT characters and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods Two hundred and three lung adenocarcinoma patients (from September,2014 to March,2015) confirmed by pathology were divided into effective mutation group (97 cases) and non?effective mutation group (106 cases) on the basis of the site and the response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Among all the CT characters, rank?sum test was adopted to analyze the difference of diameter between the two groups; Fisher's exact test was applied to explain the difference of density type and Chi?square test was applied to analyze the difference of lobulation, spiculation, necrosis, pleural indentation, cavitation and air?brochogram signs. Logistic regression was used to analyze the significant signs and evaluate the odds ratio (OR). Results There were 65, 67, 45, 74 cases of lobulation, spiculation, necrosis, pleural indentation in the EGFR gene effective mutation group and 56, 51, 26, 61 cases in non?effective mutation group with statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ2=4.230, 9.141, 10.646, 7.986, P<0.05). However, there were no significant difference between the two groups in the diameter, density, cavitation and air?brochogram (P>0.05). Logistics regression analysis showed that, spiculation (OR=2.120), necrosis (OR=2.853) and pleural indentation (OR=2.094) were in correlation with EGFR effective mutations, and lobulation was not in correlation with EGFR effective mutations. Conclusions Among all the CT sings, spiculation, necrosis and pleural indentation were in correlation with EGFR gene effective mutation, they were more likely to appear in lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR gene effective mutation.

BACKGROUND: Subsequent to liver transplantation, pulmonary infection and new drug resistant strain frequently appear due to complex pathophysiological changes and abuse of antibiotics.OBJECTIVE: To collect the clinical data of 6 cases who underwent liver transplantation, and analyze the prevention and treatment measures of pulmonary infection after liver transplantation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Retrospective case analysis, performed in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,First People's Hospital of Guangzhou between January and December 2004.PARTICIPANTS: Six cases that underwent liver transplantation and received treatment in the First People's Hospital of Guangzhou were recruited in the present study. All 6 cases underwent selective homologous whole liver transplantation, 5cases underwent modified orthotopic piggyback liver transplantation, and only 1 underwent classical orthotopic liver transplantation.METHODS: The clinical data of the 6 cases were retrospectively analyzed. After transplantation, basic disinfection,isolation, infection-protection measures should be taken. In addition, etiological information was collected. Chest X-ray was underwent to know the lung at the early stage. Aseptic manipulating was strictly performed during sputum aspiration.Gastrointestinal decompression and non-obstructed drainage were maintained to prevent aspiration. Moreover, preventive anti-infective treatment against the bacteria, fungi, and viruses was performed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pulmonary infection and curative effects subsequent to liver transplantation.RESULTS: Of the 6 cases, 5 presented with pulmonary infection, including 1 at 4-11 days after transplantation and 1 at 1day after transplantation. One case died of respiratory failure. The remaining 5 cases were cured after standardized anti-infection, respiratory therapy, sputum aspiration, and nutritional support.CONCLUSION: Application of effective antibiotics, aseptic operation in sputum aspiration, and unobstructed respiratory tract drainage are important measures for treating pulmonary infection subsequent to liver transplantation.

Objective To explore the characteristics of proinsulin secretion in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Methods Fasting and 2 h sera in oral glucose tolerance test from 36 LADA patients, 37 type 2 diabetic patients and 43 healthy controls were collected to test glucose, proinsulin (PI) and C-peptide (CP) by radioimmune assay. Glutamie acid decarboxylase antibodies (GAD-Ab) were determined by radioligand assay.Results (1) Fasting proinsulin (FPI) and 2 h proinsulin (PPI) level in LADA patients were lower than those in type 2 diabetic patients (P<0.05), being both significantly inereasad compared with healthy controls (P<0.05 or P<0.01); The ratios of FPI/FCP and PPI/PCP (%) in LADA were beth significantly higer than those of type 2 diabetes mellitus and controls (P<0.05 or P<0.01); (2) LADA type-1 (GAD-Abe>0.3) patients showed lower PI levels(P<0.05 or P<0.01) and higher PI/CP ratio (all P<0.05) than LADA type-2 (0.05≤GAD-Ab<0.3); Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in above parameters between LADA type-2 and type 2 diabetes meUitus (P>0.05). (3) GAD-Ab index was negatively correlated with FPI and PPI in LADA group (r=-0.236 and-0.268, both P<0.05), and positively correlated with PPI/PCP (r=0.254, P=0.030).Meanwhile BMI was positively correlated with FPI, PPI and PI/CP in type 2 diabetes mellitus (all P<0.01). No factor entered the multiple regression analysis for predieting the hyperproinsulinemia and dispropriately elevated proinsulin levels in LADA patients. (4) According to the 99.5 th percentile of proinsulinemia in the healthy controls, which is defined as the cutoff point dispropriately elevated proinsulin levels, the proportion of subjects with fasting dispropriately elevated proinsulin levels (FPI/FCP) were 77.8%, 62.2% and 2.3% in LADA, type 2 diabetes meUitus and controls respectively, and PPI/PCP 83.3%, 51.4% and 2.3% respectively. Conclusion LADA patients, as well as type 2 diabetic patients, all showed hyperproinsulinemia and disproportionately elevated proiasulin levels that were one of characteristics of defective β-cell function. Moreover, disproportionately elevated nproinsulin level is more evident in LADA patients than that in type 2 diabetics and this may be related to humoral immunity.
