Objective To explore the possibility of united test of CA72-4, CA19-9 in gastric juice in diagnosis of gastric carcinoma.Methods The gastric juices were respectively obtained by liquid collector made by ourselves through gastreecope in study group(30 cases of gastric cancer) and control groups(32 cases of gastratrophia,30 cases of gastric ulcer,and 30 cases of chronic superficial gastritis).The gastric juice content of CA72-4, CA19-9 were determined synchronously with ES-300 auto-enzymoimmuno-analyzer.Results The gastric juice contents of CA72-4,CA19-9 were (83.54±143.70) U/ml and (47.05±29.64) U/ml, and the positive rates were 76.66% and 43.33% in study group,respectively,and all higher than those of control groups(P <0.01 ).The level of CA72-4 was high in two of 32 patients with gastratrophia,and one was diagnosed as gastric carcinoma after nine months follow-up.Conclusion The combined detection of CA72-4 and CA19-9 provide main evidence for the diagnosis of gastric cancer and diagnostric significance of advanced gastric cancer.

Possessing the unique feathers of high targeting and inducing the active immunity of patients,magnetic-mediated hyperthermia(MMH)has been regarded as a very promising cancer-treatment approach.Researches about in-stent MMH for esophagus cancel have been widely carried out with focusing on heating mechanism,feasibility studies and clinical trials.

Radioimmunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies incorporated with radionuclide has been showed to be an effective agent for refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Many anti-CD20 antibodies labeled with radionuclide, such as 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan (Zevalin) and 131I-tositumomab tiuxetan (Bexxar), have been reported to be effective for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade, follicular, or transformed NHL. This review summarizes the current advance in clinical trials and studies of Zevalin and Bexxar for the treatment of NHL patients.

BACKGROUND:Several studies have demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) inhibit the proliferation and activation of T lymphocytes, exerting a role of negative immunological regulation. OBJECTIVE: To induce rat BMSCs to differentiate into neuron-like cells in vitro using all-trans retinoic acid and to investigate the effects of differentiated cells on T lymphocyte proliferation.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A cytological in vitro observation was performed in Guangdong Medical College in March 2008.MATERIALS: Two male 4-week-old Sprague Dawley rats were provided by the Laboratory Animal Center of Guangdong Medical College. Fresh healthy human blood was provided by the Department of Clinical Laboratory, Guangdong Medical College. METHODS: Rat BMSCs were isolated by adherent method and were passaged in vitro. Cells of passage 5 were pre-induced with Low glucose-dulbecco's modified eagle's medium (LG-DMEM) containing 0.3 mg/L all-trans retinoic acid and 10% fetal bovine serum. Twenty-four hours later, aforementioned LG-DMEM was discarded and LG-DMEM containing 0.6 mg/L all-trans retinoic acid was added to induce cells differentiation into neuron-like cells. Fresh healthy human blood was taken to prepare responding cells. Rat BMSCs, as stimulator cells, were included for one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction. Four groups were designated. Control group: 100 μL of responding cells at a concentration of 1×109/L; Experimental group 1:1×104 neuron-like cells + 100 μL of responding cells; Experimental group 2:1×105 neuron-like cells + 100 μL of responding cells; Experimental group 3:1×106 neuron-like cells + 100 μL of responding cells.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological observation of induce-differentiated cells, identification of nerve cells, and one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction results.RESULTS: Fifty minutes after addition of inducing medium, under the optical microscope, BMSCs exhibited a typical morphology of perikaryon. Three hours later, most of cells became into bipolar or multipolar neuron-like cell appearance with cell bodies and processes. Immunocytochemical staining results showed that majority of cells exhibited neuron specific enolase- and nestin-positive expression and glial fibrillary acidic protein-negative expression. Compared with the control group, radionuclide counts per minute were significantly reduced in each experimental group (P<0.05). There was significant difference in radionuclide counts per minute between experimental groups (P<0.05). With increasing BMSCs amount, the inhibitory effects on T lymphocyte proliferation were more evident.CONCLUSION: AII-trans retinoic acid can induce neuron-like cell differentiation of rat BMSCs in vitro. The neuron-like cells can inhibit human T lymphocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate the correlations of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and short term prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome.Methods 179 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated in our hospital between Jan.2008 to Apr.2009 were grouped by cutoff value of 14.4%.The incidence of acute myocardiac infarct( AMI),malignant arrhythmia,heart falure,sudden cardiac death(SCD) were compared in the two groups when patients were hospitalized and in half years of discharged.High-sensitivity C-reactive protein.(hs-CRP) ,BNP were also compared between the two groups.Results The incidences of cardiac adverse event were different between the two groups(AMI:39.47% vs.15.53% ,HF:22.22% vs.6.80% ,SCD:9.21% vs.1.94% and malignant arrhythmia:11.84% vs.3.90%,P values all less than 0.05 ).hs-CRP were ( 9.44 ± 8.03 ),(4.64 ±4.42) mg/L and BNP were (357.07 ± 161.60),(233.17 ± 134.76) ng/L in the two groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).RDW is positively correlated with hs-CRP and BNP (r is 0.42 and 0.58 respectively,P-value all less than 0.05).Conclusions The RDW is related to the short term progonosis in patients with ACS,and also positively correllated with plasma hs-CRP and BNP levels.

ObjectiveTo detect the expression of ARHI protein in adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix and normal uterine cervix tissue, and explore the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. MethodsThe expression of ARHI protein in 30 cases of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix tissue and 30 cases of normal uterine cervix tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry and analyzed the relationship between ARHI protein and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. ResultsThe expression of ARHI protein in adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix tissue[46.67％(14/30)]was lower than that in normal uterine cervix tissue[90.00％(27/30)],the difference was significant (P＜0.05). There was intimate correlation between ARHI protein and histological grade, FIGO stage of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix tissue (P ＜ 0.05), there was no correlation between ARHI protein and lymphatic metastasis (P＞0.05). ConclusionsThe expression of ARHI protein in adenooarcinoma of the uterine cervix decreases which indicates the expression of ARHI protein take part in the carcinogenesis of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. It can be used as a new diagnostic indicator of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.
