Objective:To investigate the value of anti-hexokinase1 antibodies (anti-HK-1) and anti-kelch-like 1 antibodies (anti-KLHL12) antibody in evaluating ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) response in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Methods:112 PBC patients who had been treated with UDCA for more than 12 months with relatively complete clinical data were analyzed. Serum was collected and the expression of anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), anti-HK-1 and anti-KLHL12 antibodies were detected by ELISA. The response to UDCA was based on Paris standard. According to the expression of new antibodies, the patients were divided into the new antibody positive group and negative group. In addition, PBC related baseline indicators were collected, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between antibody expression and baseline indicators in PBC patients.Results:Positivity of anti-HK1 and anti-KLHL12 antibody in AMA-positive PBC patients were 44.7% and 41.2% respectively. Positivity of anti-HK1 and anti-KLHL12 antibodies in AMA negative PBC patients were 33.3% and 22.2%. Anti-HK1 positive patients had higher serum levels of Alaninetransaminase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase, (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GT) and total bilirubin (TBIL) compared with anti-HK1 negative patients, with statistical significant differences ( P<0.05). Notably, correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlation between anti-HK1 antibody expression and ALP, γ-GT and TBIL serum levels ( r=0.735, P<0.05; r=0.332, P<0.05; r=0.491, ( r=0.466, P<0.05). The UDCA response rate in anti-HK-1 antibody positive group was lower than that of the negative group (36.2% vs 60%; P<0.05). Conclusion:Anti-HK-1 and anti-KLHL12 antibody can help to diagnose PBC, and the expression of anti-HK-1 antibody is correlated with the severity of PBC, which could help to predict the reaction of PBC patients to UDCA.

AIM: To investigate the possibility of 3T3 fibroblast growth on blood fibrin clot in culture medium with recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF). METHOD: Growth of the cells on blood fibrin clot was studied by phase-contrast, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and by Giemsa stain and MTT assay. RESULTS: The optimal concentration of rhbFGF for proliferation and survival of the cells was 100 ng/mL. The cells also grew on blood fibrin clot scaffold in the low-serum medium containing 100 ng/mL rhbFGF, and a greater number of the cells survived after 48 hours incubation compared to that after 24 hours. The elongated filopodia appeared to bridge the gaps among the fibroblasts after 24 hours incubation. Further incubation to 72 hours, a greater number of platycytes were found to be joined together by lamellopodia. CONCLUSION: 3T3 fibroblasts could grow and survive on blood fibrin clot in the low-serum medium containing rhbFGF, and a combination of blood fibrin clot and rhbFGF may have over proportional effects on wound healing.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of using somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) combined with event-related potentials (ERPs) to predict the prognosis of comatose patients in neurologic intensive care units (N-ICU).Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted in 53 comatose patients enrolled from the Department of Neurology,Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2011 to June 2014.Short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SLSEP),middle-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (MLSEP),N100,and mismatch negative (MMN) were recorded in these comatose patients in N-ICU within one week after coma onset.All patients were evaluated with Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) in 3 months after onset.GOS grades 3 to 5 were considered the good outcome; while GOS grades 1 and 2 were considered poor.SLSEP,MLSEP,N100 and MMN were also recorded in 30 healthy controls.The consistency between SLSEP,MLSEP,N100,MMN,and prognosis,as well as the prognostic authenticity of SLSEP,MLSEP,N100 and MMN were analyzed.Results The amplitude was smaller and the latency became longer in comatose patients,compared with healthy controls.The latency of N20,N60,N100 and MMN in patients with good outcome was (21.73 ±2.91) ms,(68.67 ±7.60) ms,(114.81 ±21.60) ms and (194.10 ±55.31) ms,respectively.And the latency of N20,N60,N100 and MMN in patients with poor outcome was (20.74 ±2.05) ms,(64.20 ±5.29) ms,(109.74 ±21.30) ms and (181.00 ± 50.32) ms,respectively.The consistency between poor outcome and absence of evoked potentials for N20,N60,N100 and MMN was satisfactory (x2 =14.60,10.59,14.46,18.12 respectively,all P < 0.05).When combined SEPs with ERPs,the sensitivity was 85.2%,specificity was 74.2%,and general correct rate was 86.8%,respectively,for good outcome; the sensitivity was 74.2%,specificity was 85.2%,and general correct rate was 86.8%,respectively,for poor outcome.Conclusions The bilateral absence of N20 has a good power for predicting the poor outcome in comatose patients,while the bilateral existence of N60,N100 and MMN has a good power for predicting the good outcome.The combined use of SEPs and ERPs in evaluating and predicting the outcomes in comatose patients is suggested.

Objective To compare the cerebral protective effect of propofol and sevoflurane combined with sufentanil anesthesia in the patients undergoing valvular surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients, aged 60-70 yr, scheduled for elective valvular surgery under CPB, were randomly divided into either propofol-based anesthesia group (group PA) or sevoflurane-based anesthesia group (group SA) , with 30 patients in each group.From induction of anesthesia to the end of surgery, group P received targetcontrolled infusion of propofol 0.5-2.0 μg/ml, and group S continuously inhaled 0.5%-2.5% sevoflurane.Bispectral index value was maintained at 45-55.Immediately after induction (T0), at the end of surgery (T1) , and at 6, 12 and 24 h after surgery (T2-4) , the superior vena cava was retrogradely cannulated for blood sampling, and the concentrations of plasma S-100β protein and neuron-specific enzyme were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Compared with group SA, the plasma S-100β concentrations at T1,2 and neuron-specific enzyme concentrations at T1-3 were significantly decreased in group PA.Conclusion The cerebral protective effect of propofol combined with sufentanil anesthesia is superior to that of sevoflurane combined with sufentanil anesthesia in the patients undergoing valvular surgery under CPB.

Aim To investigate the effect of 15-ketoeicosatetraenoic acid(15-KETE)and its mechanism through ion channels on rat isolated pulmonary arterial rings by using organ bath technique.Methods Sixteen healthy Wistar rats weighing 220?20 g were divided into two groups(n=8): normoxia group breathing fresh air(FiO_2=21%) and hypoxia group breathing hypoxic air(FiO_2=10%) in a hypoxic box.Pulmonary arteries(PA)were extracted after 9 d and cut into rings(0.5~1.0 mm in diameter and 3 mm in length) for organ bath experiments.Results(1) With increasing concentration from 0 to10~(-6) mol?L~(-1),15-KETE increased PA rings tension gradually in a dosedependent fashion;(2) 4-aminopyridine(2 mmol?L~(-1)),a Kv channel blocker significantly decreased constriction of rat isolated PA rings induced by 15-KETE,and results were similar in two groups;(3) The K_(ATP) channel blocker glyburide(10~(-6)6 mol?L~(-1)) and the BK_(Ca) channel blocker tetraethylammonium(10 mmol?L~(-1)) did not affect constriction of rat isolated PA rings induced by 15-KETE;(4) The BKCa channel blocker nifedipine(10~(-6) mol?L~(-1)) and Ca~(2+)-free Krebs solution significantly decreased constriction of rat isolated PA rings induced by 15-KETE.Conclusion Kv channels play a role in constriction of PA induced by 15-KETE;L-type Ca~(2+) channel blocker and extracellular calcium ion also influence constriction of isolated PA rings induced by 15-KETE.
