Objective To study the correlations of the concentration of WBC count,CRP and ESR in the course of Mycoplas-ma pneumoniae (MP)pneumonia and to provide laboratory basis for the use of the hormone.Methods The WBC count, CRP and ESR test results of MP pneumonia patients with hospital diagnosed from Jan 2008 to Dec 2012 were analyzed retro-spectively.Results The WBC,CRP and ESR were significantly higher in patients with extrapulmonary complications in-duced by mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)pneumonia,chest X-ray showed large sheet density shadow or the glucocorticoids user,than those who with no extrapulmonary complications,chest X-ray showed patchy or ground-galss opacities and not u-sing glucocorticoids (P<0.05).Conclusion When the WBC,CRP and ESR were significantly higher in patients rule out bacterial infection induced by mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)pneumonia,can using glucocorticoid therapy as early as possi-ble.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of screening for esophageal cancer with survivin colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip. Methods The serum samples from 158 esophageal cancer patients and 146 healthy individuals were tested with survivin colloidal gold immunoohromatographic test strips. Results 20 nm-diameter colloidal gold solution was prepared and survivin polyclonal antibodies with different concentrations were labeled to the gold particles. It showed that the optimal concentration for labeling was 12 μg/ml. The prepared survivin colloidal gold immunochromatographic strip teat showed positive rates of survivin in esophageal cancer group and control group were 51.9 % (82/158) and 15.1% (22/146) respectively (χ~2 = 45.7, P < 0.05). No statistical differences were observed in age groups (between 42-54 years: 47.1%; between 56-68 years: 40.9%; between 69-81years: 63.9%, χ~2= 1.11, P > 0.05), gender groups (male: 50.4%, female: 58.1%, χ~2= 0.59, P > 0.05) , primary site groups (upper segment: 56.3%, middle segment: 46. 1%, lower segment: 32. 1%, χ~2 = 2.64, P > 0.05), differentiation groups (well-differentiation: 56.3%, moderate differentiation: 43.2%, poor-differentiation: 32.7%,χ2= 1.63, P >0.05)and lymph node metastasis groups (with metastasis:43.3%, without metastasis:43.4%, χ~2 = 0.00, P > 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of survivin colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip was 51.9% (82/158), 84.9% (124/146) and 67.8% (206/304) respectively. Conclusions Survivin colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip is fast, simple, easy-to-read. It could be used as a valuable tool for screening of high-risk patients with esophageal cancer.

Objective To investigate the genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax transmission_blocking vaccine candidate antigen (TBV) Pvs25, with P.vivax isolates from Hubei and Zhejiang Provinces, and to compare the genetic polymorphism of Pvs25 with that from Bangladesh. MethodsThe parasite DNA used for the genetic polymorphism assay was obtained from dried filter paper blood spots. The genes were PCR amplified and the products were purified and sequenced directly. Results 45 complete new sequences were analyzed. Only 3 nucleotide changes were found that would result in amino acid substitutions in Pvs25 in comparison with the sequence from P.vivax Sal_I strain. The measurement of nucleotide diversity (?) was remarkably similar for the two populations, indicating that DNA sequences and deduced amino acid sequences were highly homologous among the geographically dispersed isolates or isolates from the same geographical region.Conclusion The results suggest that Pvs25 has limited antigenic polymorphism, especially compared with candidate antigens expressed by hepatic and erythrocytic stage, which may support the development and application of Pvs25_based transmission_blocking vaccine in China.

Objective:To investigate the influence of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF)on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C(VEGF-C)and the mechanism of HGF-induced VEGF-C expression in tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cells.Methods:Tca8113 cells were cultured and exposed to HGF with various concentrations.The expression level of VEGF-C was assessed by ELISA.Signaling transduction inhibitors LY294002,U0126,SP600125,SB203580 was used to block PI3K/Akt,P44 /P22MAPK,JNK,P38MAPK signaling pathways,respectively.Then,the expression level of VEGF-C was detected by ELISA.Re-sults:The VEGF-C expression of Tca8113 cells increased at the beginning and decreased later with the increase of HGF concentra-tion.When the concentration of HGF was 40 ng/ml,VEGF-C expression level was the highest.Inhibitor LY294002 of PI3K/Akt and Inhibitor U0126 of P44 /P22MAPK significantly blocked the effects on HGF-induced VEGF-C up-regulation(P ＜0.01 ).Inhibitor SP600125 of JNK and inhibitor SB203580 of P38MAPK didn't interfere HGF-induced VEGF-C expression(P >0.05).Conclusion:HGF contributed to the expression of VEGF-C,PI3K/Akt and P44 /P22MAPK signaling pathways may be involved in HGF-induced VEGF-C up-regulation,and may play potential roles in lymphatic metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective To clone human neuron-specific enolase (NSE)gene and prepare the monoclonal antibodies against human neuron-specific enolase and to test the expression of NSE in tumor cell lines by immunocytochemistry (ICC).Methods The gene fragment of human NSE was amplified by RT-PCR and ligated to the pGEM vector. After the sequencing of recombinant NSE, it was ligated to the expression vector pMS-31b. The MS2-NSE fusion protein was expressed after higher temperature induction. The purified target protein was used for immunizing BALB/C mice to prepare McAbs against NSE.Results Full length of NSE gene with 1 305 bp was cloned. Molecular weight of MS2-NSE was 57 000. 1.42 mg/L of MS2-NSE fusion protein could be expressed. Two strains of hybridoma secreting NSE McAbs were obtained by ELISA screening. The subtypes of the NSE McAbs were IgG1and IgG2a. The two McAbs could react with A549 cell lines in ICC. NSE positive staining in ICC was mainly located in cytoplasm.Conclusions We clone human neuron-specific enolase gene, obtain the anti-NSE monoclonal antibodies and examine the expression of NSE in lung cancer tumor cell line.
