Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(07):-
Objective To observe the change of serum thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) in the patients with Hyperthyroidism and Thyroid gland tumor of different phases.Methods The level of TPOAb was observed,the relation between the changed TPOAb level and reduced thyroid function was studied.Results Among 89 cases,50 cases had normal or slightly elevated TPOAb level.However,after treatment,31 cases showed a raised TPOAb level.Of 19 cases with hypothyroidism or its sub-clinical type.There were 39 cases with positive TPOAb.After the treatment,2 cases changed to negative TPOAb,26 cases lowered,and 3 cases had hypothyroidism.There were 29 cases taking thyroid tablets without hypothyroidism.Conclusion The change of TPOAb level can be observed during the treatment for hyperthyroidism and t hyroid gland tumor.The elevated TPOAb level often predicts the decreased thyroid function.The patients with positive TPOAb should be carefully followed,and for hyperthyroidism patients the treatment should be taken with care.

The treatment responses to pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFNα)in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB)are associated with the genetic polymorphisms,immune status,hepatitis B virus genotype,and viral load of the host.This article reviews the recent studies on influential factors for the responses to PEG-IFNαin CHB patients.The important predictors of the clearance and seroconversion of HB-sAg and HBeAg and sustained virological response include interleukin-28B (IL-28B)gene polymorphism,baseline level of interferon-inducible protein-10,IL-17A,IL-10,tumor necrosis factor-α,viral load and genotype,and changes in serum HBsAg and HBeAg levels at weeks 12 and 24 of treatment.

Objective:To study the expression level of peripheral blood mircoRNA-155 and the variation characteristics of CD4+T cell percentage and to expound the clinical significance of mircoRNA-155 quantitative test and CD 4+T cell percentage cytological test.Methods:Fluorescent quantitative PCR had been used to detect the expression level of mircoRNA -155 in the peripheral blood.Flow cytometry had been used to detect the cell percentage of the peripheral blood T lymphocyte subset CD 3+T cell,CD4+T cell and CD8+T cell.The mircoRNA-155 expression levels and the cell percentages of CD 4+T were tested respectively in the selected 40 patients with atopic dermatitis ,30 patients with skin eczema and 30 healthy controls.Finally,the differences of the above groups were counted and analyzed .Results:The relative expression levels of mircoRNA-155 of the atopic dermatitis group were higher than those of the eczema group and the normal control group ( P<0.05 ).The CD4+T cell percentage of the atopic dermatitis group was higher than those of the eczema group and the normal control group ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion: The expression level of the peripheral blood mircoRNA-155 in the patients with atopic dermatitis is increased significantly and CD 4+T cell percentage in the patients is raised as well.Consequently ,the clinical detection of miRNA-155 and CD4+T cell shall be of great significance .

ObjectiveToanalyzethepathogensofsuppurativeendophthalmitis,theirdistributionanddrug susceptibility.Provide valuable information for the clinical options in effective use of antimicrobial agents.Methods Collected 259 cases of endophthalmitis from the patients with aqueous humor and vitreous fluid for pathogens and drug sensitivitytestinordertocarryontheanalysisoftheresults.Results 113casesofbacterialculturepositivein259 cases of specimens,with a detection rate of 43.63%.6 cases of multiple bacteria infection,and 2 case of fungal infec-tion.The total separation of pathogens was 120 strains.89 strains were gram positive coccus,accounting for 74.17%, 11 were gram positive bacillus strains, accounting for 9.17%, 13 strains of gram-negative bacilli, accounted for 10.83%,gram-negative in 5strains(4.17%),fungus in 2strains(1.67%).Conclusion Main pathogenic bacteria suppurative endophthalmitis is gram-positive, the pathogen species distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of change should be timely monitored and the rational using of antibiotics can reduce the generation of drug-resistant strains.

Objective To evaluate the effect of direct stenting on no-reflow in patients with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) acute myocardial infarction. Methods A total of 157 patients with STEMI received direct stenting (DS,n=85) or conventional post-dilation stenting (CS,n=72). The time of X-ray exposure, the amount of contrast media consumed, the TIMI grading after stenting and ST-segment changes of electrocardiogram were compared between two groups. Results The time of X-ray exposure and the amount of contrast media consumed were significantly less in DS group than those in CS group [(24.6?16.9) min vs (34.4?17.5) min, (115?37) mL vs (166?61) mL, P

Objective To investigate whether the aberrantly expressed HLA class Ⅱ molecules on the follicular epithelial cells of Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis present autoantigens. Methods Expressions of HLA class Ⅱ, invariant (Ii) chain and B7 on follicular epithelial cells were detected by labeled streptavidin binding (LSAB) and expression of Ii chain at mRNA level was assayed by in situ hybridization (ISH). Results The expression pattern of HLA class Ⅱ, Ii chain and B7 on epithelial follicular cells from Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis is highly heterogeneous. Conclusion Follicular epithelial cells possess the necessary molecular basis for presenting autoantigens and activating T cells, at least in a part of the patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association between homocysteine and cerebral infarction, as well as between different subtypes of cerebral infarction.Methods105 cases with cerebral infarction were divided into two subgroups, according to TOAST criteria, large-artery disease and small-artery disease.In addition,50 normal persons were selected as control group.Fasting blood samples were drawn from antecubital vein for measurement of plasma total homocysteine,glucose and lipids.Enzyme conversion immunoassay was applied to detect plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) levels.ResultsThe mean tHcy of cerebral infarction, which was (24.85±24.56) μmol/L, was significantly higher than that of control group, which was (16.18±6.97) μmol/L(P<0.05).There was a significant difference of homocysteine between large-artery disease,which was (30.46±31.16) μmol/L, and small-artery disease,which was (18.43±10.73) μmol/L,or the control group(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between small-artery disease and the control group. ConclusionThe mean tHcy significantly elevated in large-artery disease,which indicated that elevated plasma homocysteine levels is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease.
