Objectives To study ho to make an accurate diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy in the early stage through different ultrasonic checking ways, so as to decrease the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rates. Methods 195 cases of ectopic pregnancy patients, which were diagnosed by abdominal ultra-sound (TAS) or by vagina ultra-sound (TVS), were collected, then compared with the operational pathological results and anzlyzed the reasons of the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, so as to find out the best ultrasonic way. Results 195 cases of ectopic pregnancy patients were diagnosed by ultrasound, the positive coincidence rate was 95.4% (186/195), misdiagnosis rate was 4.1% (8/195) and missed diagnosis rate was 0.5% (only 1 case). Among 186 cases of ectopic pregnancy, which totally conformed to the operational pathological results, 82 cases were pelvic adhesion, 51 cases (62.2%) were diagnosed ectopic pregnancy by TAS. 104 cases were not pelvic adhesion, in which 48(46.2%) cases were diagnosed ectopic pregnancy by TAS, then the significant differences were being shown. Conclusions When in pelvic adhesion, the ultrasonic checking way is mutually related to the positions of the oviduct and ovary in the pelvic cavity. When the oviduct and ovary are pressed close to the anterior abdominal wall, TAS is the best way while they are pressed close to posterior pelvic wall, TVS is the best way. The ultrasonic checking way for ectopic pregnancy is varied upon different patients.It is the main reason of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, that the clinical material and dynamic observation were not taken into consideration

To investigate the mechanism of aldosterone in the induction of hypertensive myocardial fibrosis, we compared the changes of the incorporation rate of 3H proline, the contents of cardiac tissue collagen, and the activities of the cardiac mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs) untreated and treated with a competitive antagonist of the aldosterone receptorspironolactone (spiron), and also in normotensive rats. The results showed that the incorporation of 3H proline incubating with the myocardial tissue slices significantly increased at three time points (at 4,6,8 h), that the tissue collagen contents and the activities of tissue MAPK also increased in SHRs than in SHRs treated with spiron and in normotensive rats. It suggests that aldosterone stimulates the cardiac MAPK through specific recepter, thus increases the absorption of proline and synthesis of collagen in the cardiac fibroblasts, and in turn, is responsible for the myocardial fibrosis.

AIM: To obtain a single-chain antibody with high affinity for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: A second single-chain antibody mutant library was established by using error-prone PCR and DNA shuffling. Single-chain antibodies with high affinity for hepatocellular carcinoma were selected from phage antibody library by using ELISA. RESULTS: The content of the second single-chain antibody mutant library was about 4.5?10~7. Two selected mutants M25 and M36 were obtained after 3 rounds of panning and ELISA. Immunoassay showed that M25 and M36 bound to human HCC cells specifically. The relative affinity of M25 was 2.0 folds higher than that of the original antibody, and M36 was 2.4 folds higher than the original antibody. CONCLUSION: Error-prone PCR combined with DNA shuffling is an effective method to improve affinity of antibodies isolated from phage antibody library.
