1.Differential diagnostic value of telomerase activity in malignant and benign pleural effusions
Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2001;(1):49-51
Objective To study the diagnostic value of pleural fluid telomerase activity in distinguishing a malignant from a benign pleural effusion. Methods Using a PCR-based assay, telomerase activity was examined in the pleural fluid cells obstained from 69 patients with pleural effusions (37 malignant, 32 benign). Results were compared with cytologic evaluation and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Results Of the 37 malignant specimens,26(70.27%)contained detectable telomerase activity. The positive rate in malignant pleural effusions was significantly higher than that in benign origin (2/32). Detection of telomerase in effusions was more sensitive than CEA level evaluation for the identification of pleural malignancy (telomerase assay: sensitivity=70.27%, specificity=93.75%; CEA: sensitivity=51.35%, specificity=96.87%). The consistant rate of telomerase with cytology was 54.05%. Conclusion The detection of telomerase activity may be a useful adjunct to cytopathologic methods in the diagnosis of malignant pleural effusions. It may be useful in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant pleural effusions.

Objective To study the shift handover experience of ICU clinical nurses. Method About 19 ICU nurses were enrolled in the investigation using semi-structured interviews and the results were analyzed with phenomenological analysis. Result Their shift handover experience were summarized into 6 themes, that is high recognition on the importance of shift handover, lack of standardized processes, incomplete contents of shift handover, frequent interruption, forgotten information and repeated information. Conclusions Shift handover is an important part of ICU nursing function but there are many problems in the practical operation. The nurse managers need to standard the handover process, stipulate handover contents and enhance the training on shift handover with specialist examination and positive results for the purpose of improving the quality of the shift handover.

Objective To investigate the effective methods for detecting the susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus to Vancomycin. Methods An isolate of h-VRSA (heterogeneous Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) isolated from clinical specimen was inoculated on the increasing concentration of vancomycin agars. Varied degree of vancomycin of resistant S. aureus were obtained. The susceptibilities of these S. aureus to vancomycin were tested by agar screening test, broth microdilution method, E-test, disk diffusion method and automated methods. Results Agar screening test, broth microdilution method and E-test are effective for detection of vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus VISA, but disk diffusion and automated methods could not detect VISA. Conclusion Broth microdilution method and E-test are acceptable methods for susceptibility testing of S. aureus to vancomycin. The laboratories using automated methods and disk diffusion method as routine susceptibility test should consider adding a vancomycin agar screen plate to enhance detection of VRSA and VISA.

Objective:To detect genomic aberrations and investigate the expression and clinical significance of TBX2,CHK2, and p53 in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) tissues. Methods:We collected 63 cases of MPNST tissue samples, which were re-moved by resection and were confirmed by pathology, from January 1991 to December 2011 in Department of Bone and Sofer Tissue Tumor, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. Twelve fresh tumor samples with qualified DNA quality were selected from the above 63 cases of tissue samples. Genome abnormalities of 12 MPNST tissues were detected by next-generation sequencing. The protein expression levels of TBX2, CHK2, and p53 in 63 MPNST tissue samples were assessed by immunohistochemistry staining. Results:One case of TBX2 gene mutation was observed out of the 12 MPNST tissue samples. In 63 MPNST tissue samples, the protein expression rates of TBX2, CHK2, and p53 were 60.3%(38/63), 47.6%(30/63), and 30.2%(19/63), respectively. TBX2 expression was sig-nificantly correlated with AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer, AJCC) stage, recurrence, and metastasis (P<0.05). TBX2 expres-sion was directly correlated with that of CHK2 (r=0.254, P=0.045), and CHK2 expression was directly correlated with that of p53 (r=0.343, P=0.006). In terms of the disease-free survival and overall survival time, patients with high expression levels of TBX2, CHK2, and p53 had significantly worse prognosis than patients with low expression levels of TBX2, CHK2, and p53(all P<0.05). TBX2, CHK2, and p53 were independent prognostic factors of MPNST. Conclusion:TBX2 and its associated proteins may play important roles in MPNST development and progression. Detecting TBX2 expression may provide the theoretical basis for estimating the prognosis of patients with MPNST.
