Objective To analyze the diagnostic significance of the expression of perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(pANCA) and anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody(ASCA) in the patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).Methods Serum samples were collected from 97 patients with IBD,including 86 patients with ulcerative colitis(UC) and 11 with Crohn′s disease(CD).Another group of 36 persons in whom colonoscopic examination was negative served as control.Determinations of ASCA and pANCA were performed using indirect immunofluorescence test(IIFT).Results The positive rate of pANCA in group UC,CD and control was 27.9%,0% and 0%,respectively.Obviously,the rate in group UC was higher than that in the other two groups(P0.05).Four of 11 CD patients(36.4%) were severe cases,among them 3 showed ASCA+;7 were moderate cases(63.6%),and among them 1 case showed ASCA+.The positive ratio of ASCA was significantly different between severe and moderate CD cases(P

Objective To retrospectively analyse the impact of imatinib mesylate(Gleevec)on HSCT outcome in patients with Ph(+)leukemias.Methods From June 2001 to June 2005,31 CML-BC/AP patients and 8 refractory Ph(+)ALL patients were treated with imatinib mesylate to induce remission,followed by allogeneic transplantation,and we evaluated its influence on engraftment,graft versus host disease(GVHD),overall survival(OS),disease free survival(DFS),relapse rate(RR)and transplant-related mortality(TRM).Results Eighteen of 39 patients achieved complete hematologic remission(CHR),9 patients bone marrow remission(BMR)and 4 patients partial response(PR),the overall response rate being 70.96%.After HSCT,all patients achieved complete allogeneic engraftment with a median of 14 and 13.5 days for neutrophil and platelet recovery,respectively.The cumulative incidence rates of Ⅱ~Ⅳ? and Ⅲ~Ⅳ? aGVHD were 61.53% and 15.38%.The probability of OS and DFS was(73.51?9.61)% and(61.28?12.37)%,when HSCT was performed in CR,compared with(36.36?14.50)% and(31.25?13.98)% in NR.The 3-year cumulative relapse rate(RR)was 20.41% vs 75.00%.Four cases died of transplant-related complications.Conclusion Pre-transplant imatinib mesylate seems effective and safe for refractory Ph(+)leukemias;it allows transplantation to be in a more favorable status,and leads to better outcome.

Objective To observe the early rehabilitation effect of mild hypothermia on patients with herpes simplex viral encephalitis (HSE). Methods A total of 58 patients with HSE were randomized into two groups, a mild hypothermia therapy group (30 cases) and a normothermia control group (28 cases). Their rectal temperatures were controlled to (34±1)℃ and (37.0±0.5)℃ respectively. Serum levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE) were determined through radio-immunoassay (RIA). Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) was measured with ELISA before and 1, 3, 5, and 7 d after treatment. The outcome was evaluated using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) 30 days after treatment. Results Compared with the normothermia control group, the mild hypothermia group's serum levels of NSE and sICAM-1 decreased quickly and significantly during the early stage of treatment and remained better 30 d later. Conclusion Mild hypothermia therapy can dramatically reduce inflamma-tion and facilitate the rehabilitation of damaged neurons, provide protective effects and improve the outcome for pa-tients with SHE.

Significant difference on levels of VEGF was found (P =0.032) comparing glioma group with brain metastasis group. The pretherapeutic serum levels of VEGF and Flt-1 were significantly different with disease recurrence or persistence after treatment (P =0.026 and P =0.038). There was significant correlation between the serum levels of VEGF correlated and that of Flt-1 and KDR (r =0.456 P

Hydrogen evolution from water electrolysis is one of the effective ways to obtain clean hydrogen energy in the future. Pt-based materials are the efficient catalysts in hydrogen evolution reaction, but it is expensive, difficult to recycle, which impedes its application in the development of hydrogen energy and economy. Therefore, it is the key trend to develop efficient non-noble metal electrocatalysts with the aim of providing cost-competitive hydrogen energy. In this review, we highlighted the recent research efforts toward the synthesis of noble metal-free electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction ( HER) , mainly focusing on nanomaterial catalysts supported on carbon fiber materials. We reviewed several important kinds of heterogeneous non-noble metal electrocatalysts, including sulfides, selenides, carbides, phosphides, and oxides. In the discussion, emphasis was given to the synthetic methods of these HER electrocatalysts, and the strategies for performance improvement. In addition, this paper also briefly summarized the application of carbon fiber material as substrate in the field of electroanalytical chemistry.
