Objective Serologic proteome analysis method (SERPA) was used to compare the different of the serum proteins between normal and pancreatic cancer patients' serum, and to find a new specific pancreatic cancer marker. Methods HPLC was used to eliminate albumin from the serum, two-dimensional electrophoresis was used to separate the proteins. After imaging collection and analysis, the different proteins between pancreatic cancer and normal subjects were cut for mass spectrometry. Results Four discrepancy proteins were obtained. Guanylate cyclase-activating protein 2 was highly expressed in normal serum but not pancreatic cancer. Hp2-alpha, transthyretin and KIAA1018 protein were highly expressed in cancer patients'serum but not normal people. Conclusions KIAA1018 may become a promising tumor marker for screening and early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the changes of platelet reactivity and its influencing factors after aspirin treatment in patients with ischemic stroke complicated with diabetes. Methods From September 2016to December 2017, patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology, Weihai Municipal Hospital within 24 h of onset were enrolled. All patients took aspirin (100 mg/d) within 24 h ofadmission, and after taking the drug (7 ±2 d), the PL-11 platelet function analyzer was used to determine the maximum platelet aggregation ratio (MAR) induced by arachidonic acid (AA). The baseline data of the patients were documented. The factors affecting high platelet reactivity (HPR) were analyzed. Results A total of 398 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 137 in the diabetes group and 261 in the non-diabetes group. MARAA (43. 45% ± 14. 11% vs. 31. 55% ± 19. 39%; t = 6. 996, P < 0. 001) and the incidence of HPR (34. 3% vs. 19. 9%; χ2 = 9. 946, P = 0. 002) in the diabetes group were significantly higher than in those in the non-diabetes group. Of the 137 patients with ischemic stroke complicated with diabetes, 47 had HPR. The proportions of patients with hyperlipidemia, previous history of stroke or transient ischemic attack and baseline NIHSS score, HOMA-IR (homeostatis model assessment-insulin resistance),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fasting blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin in the HPR group were significantly higher than those in the non-HPR group (all P < 0. 05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HOMA-IR (odds ratio [OR] 1. 153, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1. 027-1. 295; P =0. 016), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (OR 9. 416, 95% CI 2. 271-39. 049; P = 0. 002), fasting blood glucose (OR 1. 125, 95% CI 1. 025-1. 235; P = 0. 013), and glycosylated hemoglobin (OR 1. 458, 95% CI 1. 170-1. 816; P = 0. 001) were the independent risk factors for HPR. Conclusion The platelet reactivity during aspirin therapy in patients with ischemic stroke complicated with diabetes mellitus was high, and platelet activity was associated with multiple mechanisms, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia.

OBJECTIVETo understand the illegal sidenafil use among middle-aged and elderly male clients of female sex workers (FSWs) in central region of Guangxi as well as on related risk factors. Initial evaluation regarding the effect of illegal sidenafil use on HIV infection among the middle-aged and elderly men was also conducted.
METHODSA survey was conducted among the over 50-year-olds male clients of low-grade prostitutions in central areas of Guangxi. Information on demographics, related behavior, and illegal sidenafil use was collected. 5 ml blood sample were taken to test antibodies of HIV and syphilis. PASW Statistics 18.0 was used for data analysis.
RESULTS2 056 questionnaires were completed. 23.1% of the participants said they had ever used illegal sidenafil. The risk of sildenafil use was low among the male clients who were not over 60 years old (OR = 0.586, 95% CI:0.459-0.749). The risks of sildenafil use among the male clients with frequencies(in the past 30 days) of having commercial sex behavior were:only once (OR = 0.184, 95%CI:0.090- 0.378), twice (OR = 0.187, 95%CI:0.089-0.378) or three times (OR = 0.181, 95%CI: 0.085-0.384) lower than those with more than five times. Being single (OR = 0.608, 95% CI: 0.396-0.933), married/cohabiting (OR = 0.533, 95% CI:0.391-0.727), having unstable partners (OR = 0.558, 95%CI:0.393-0.792) seemed to be protective on those who used sildenafil, among the study population. Factors as 'never use the condom (OR = 1.642, 95%CI:1.125-2.397) or 'seldom use as condom (OR = 1.840, 95%CI:1.278-2.648) when having commercial sex, were under high risk among the sildenafil users. Forty-seven subjects were HIV positive, with the prevalence as 2.29% in this study population. Male clients of the FSWs who used sidenafil were under 60 years of age and with higher risk of HIV infection.
CONCLUSIONpeople who were ≥60 years old, divorced/widowed/ separated, with frequencies (in the past 30 days) of having commercial sex more than 5 times, never or occasionally using a condom when having commercial sex etc., appeared at high risk. Middle-aged and elderly male clients who used sildenafil or sildenafil-like drugs were under high risk of contracting HIV infection.
