Objective To investigate the diagnostic value and clinical significance of phosphorylated signal transducer and activa-tor of transcription 3(pSTAT3)in malignant pleural effusion(MPE)caused by lung adenocarcinoma.Methods 47 pleural effusion samples were collected and detected by using liquid-based cytologic test (LCT).Furthermore,the expression of pSTAT3 was detec-ted by using the method of immunocytochemistry in all of the specimens.Results Among the 47 cases of pleural effusion,40 cases of MPE were caused by lung adenocarcinoma and 7 cases were benign pleural effusion,which were confirmed by clinical manifesta-tion,biopsy and imaging data.The positive expression rate of pSTAT3 was 80.0%(32/40)in MPE caused by lung adenocarcino-ma,significantly higher than benign group(P <0.05).13 cases of MPE caused by lung adenocarcinoma and 7 cases of benign pleural effusion were diagnosed with liquid-based cytologic test alone.The other 27 cases were undetermined and needed to be differentiate between adenocarcinoma and atypical mesothelial cells.However,32 cases of lung adenocarcinoma and 7 cases could be clearly diag-nosed if liquid-based cytologic test was used combined with immunocytochemistry detection of pSTAT3 expression.Only 8 cases were undetermined.Diagnosis of grey area was significantly narrowed.There was significant statistical significance between the two methods(P <0.05).Conclusion High expression of pSTAT3 is related to the MPE caused by lung adenocarcinoma.Detection of pSTAT3 expression can be used as a new method in the diagnosis of MPE caused by lung adenocarcinoma.pSTAT3 may play an important role in the development of the MPE.

AIM: To construct prokaryotic expression vector of human angiogenesis inhibitor arresten gene and express recombinant arresten in Escherichia coli. METHODS: Human arresten gene was amplified from recombinant plasmid pGEM-Arr with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and then cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pRSET by means of recombinant gene technology. The recombinant plasmid pRSET-Arr was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3), and recombinant arresten was expressed in the bacteria under induction of IPTG. The expressed products were detected by SDS-PAGE analysis. RESULTS: Restriction analysis indicated that the arresten gene was successfully inserted into the expression vector, and DNA sequencing verified that the reading frame of the recombinant vector was correct. Recombinant arresten was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli; its molecular weight was about 26 kD and its amount was approximately 30% of total bacterial proteins.CONCLUSION: The successful construction of prokaryotic expression vector containing human arresten gene and the effective expression of recombinant arresten in Escherichia coli laid the foundation for further study on its biological functions.

Objective To investigate the role of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) of endothelium or bone marrow derived cells in the acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolyscccharide (LPS) in mice with reciprocal bone marrow transplantation. Method Chimeric mice were produced by reciprocal bone marrow transplantation between TLR4mut/mut and TLR4+/+ mice and divided into 4 groups: WT/WT (recipient/donor),WT/Mutant, Mutant/WT and Mutant/Mutant group. Six to eight weeks following transplantation, LPS was injected inot mice's tail vein in order to produce ALI model,and mice were sacrificed five hours later on.Samples of lung tissues were taken for the following analysis of wet/dry weight (W/D), lung permeabifity index (LPI), myeloperoxidase (MPO),levels of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β) and adhesion molecules (ICAM-1). Results Lung injury in the Mutant/Mutant mice was the mildest in the 4 groups. And lung injury in WT/Mutant mice was more serious than that in Mutant/WT mice. levels of MPO and ICAM-1 in WT/Mutant mice were much higher than those of Mutant/WT. In addition,the expression of ICAM-1 in WT/Mutant mice is comarable to that in WT/WT mice. Mutant/WT mice expressed higher levels of TNF-α and IL-1β than WT/Mutant mice. Conclusions Endothelial cell derived TLR4 plays ker-nel role in ALI induced by LPS via lung PMN recruitment,although bone marrow cells derived TLR4 are more im-portant for the release of cytokines.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of Epstein-Barr virus EBV DNA in children with Epstein-Barr virus infection realated diseases.Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed.Totally 222 blood samples were collected from children who were diagnosed as EBV infection in Shandong Provincial Hospital from June 2012 to August 2013.Fluorescent quantitative PCR( FQ-PCR) was used to analyze the EBV DNA in peripheral blood lymphocytes.ELISA was used to analyze the four EBV serology antibodies in the serum.Two groups of tested results were compared.Heart, hepatic impairment and renal function were analyzed through detecting AST, ALT, BUN, CREA, CK, CKMB.The results were grouped by EBV DNA copy number, and then non-parametric test together with correlation analysis was performed using SPSS21.0 analytics software.Results The positive rate of EBV-CA IgM and EBV DNA was 51.35%(114/222) and 72.97% (162/222) respectively, χ2 =24.01, P<0.001.The EBV DNA copy number was significant difference (χ2 =11.79,P<0.05) in children at different stages of infection ( no previous infection:6.30 ×103 -1.20 ×104 copies/ml;early infection:5.56 ×103 -3.92 ×106 copies/ml;acute infection:6.58 ×103 -1.73 ×106 copies /ml;chronic infection or recurrent infection:8.92 ×103 -2.34 ×104 copies/ml;late infection or recovery:5.20 ×103 -1.12 ×107 copies/ml;past infection:5.46 × 103 -1.33 ×104 copies/ml).Each biochemical targets were divided into five groups by EBV DNA copy number (Ⅰ>1 ×106 copies/ml,Ⅱ1 ×105 -1 ×106 copies/ml, Ⅲ1 ×104 -1 ×105 copies/ml, Ⅳ5 × 103 -1 ×104 copies/ml, Ⅴ<5 ×103 copies/ml), and ALT(χ2 =10.14,P<0.05), BUN(χ2 =18.17, P<0.05), CK(χ2 =13.09,P<0.05), CKMB(χ2 =17.93,P<0.01) had a statistically significant difference between each group.Well, the log value of EBV DNA copy number had a positive correlation relationship with AST(r=0.357,P=0.001), ALT(r=0.376,P=0.001), BUN(r=0.329,P=0.000), CK(r=0.235,P=0.035).Conclusions Detection of EBV DNA can be used for the early diagnosis and assessment of process of the EBV infection related disease in children.The detection of liver, kidney function and myocardial enzymes can be used for evaluating the severity of EBV infection.

Norepinephrine (NE) can raise blood pressure and speed up heart rate. However, because its effect of raising heart rate is less than that of reflex reduction of heart rate caused by the increase of blood pressure, NE causes more heart rate decrease in patients. A case of tachyarrhythmia caused by low dose NE was admitted to department of intensive care unit (ICU) of Shijiazhuang Third Hospital. The heart rate of the patient increased with the elevation of NE application dose. A variety of antiarrhythmic drugs was invalid. The related examination was prescribed to eliminate the cause of arrhythmia caused by the disorder of electrolysis and thyroid function, and found that heart rate decreased as the dose of NE tapered. After NE was stopped, the patient recovered sinus rhythm. During one month of follow-up, the patient's heart rhythm was normal. Therefore, the occurrence of tachyarrhythmia is related to NE.
