1.The level and clinical significance of serum anti-lysosomal associated membrane protein-2 antibody in patients with ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis
Chinese Journal of Nephrology 2014;30(7):494-498
Objective To investigate the relationship of the serum anti-lysosome associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) antibody levels and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis.Methods Thirty-three patients with new onset ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and thirty healthy controls were enrolled.ANCA detection was performed using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect myeloperoxidase (MPO),proteinase-3 (PR3) and other ANCA-associated antibodies including LAMP-2.The cut-off value of the serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody was determined by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The serum levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody in new onset ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients were significantly higher than remission stage ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients and healthy controls (P < 0.05).The serum levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody showed no visible difference between the remission ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients and healthy controls (P > 0.05).The levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody showed a strong positive correlation with ESR,Scr,BUN,proteinuria,crescent proportion and Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) and a negative correlation with Ccr,Hb and Alb.Conclusions Anti-LAMP-2 antibody is correlated with the activity of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and the severity of renal damage.It may be a useful indicator on the activity of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis.

China Pharmacy 2005;0(19):-
OBJECTIVE:To cultivate qualified prescription-checking pharmacists and to ensure patients'rational drug use. METHODS:The status quo of prescription-checking pharmacists in China was analyzed and some concrete suggestions on how to cultivate qualified prescription-checking pharmacists were made.RESULTS:The phenomena of low educational level and low professional title,lack of professional knowledge and medical knowledge,lack of staff members were widespread in today's Chinese prescription-checking pharmacist professionals.CONCLUSION:The rational drug use can only be realized through being fully aware of the importance of prescription-checking pharmacists,enhancing whose admittance qualifications,working out professional standards for whom,clearly defining their responsibilities,strengthening their cultivation and increasing their numbers.
3.Autologous nucleus pulposus induces rat dorsal root ganglion damage without mechanical compression
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2010;14(2):294-297
BACKGROUND: Resent studies demonstrate that sciatica is caused by inflammatory reaction of nucleus pulposus, and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is in involved in this process; however, its pathophysiological changes remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To explore pathogenesis of sciatica related to nucleus pulposus protrusion without mechanical compression. METHODS: Totally 24 male SD rats were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group, with 12 rats in each group, The coccygeal intarvartebral discs of rats were opened to obtain 5 coccygeal nucleus pulposus, mixed with 50 μL physiological saline to prepare suspension. Rats in the experimental group were prepared non-compressive models by injecting suspension to the epidural cavum of rats. Meantime, the same volumes of physiological saline were injected into rats in the control group. The rat hind paw mechanical withdrawal thresholds were measured, pain-related behavior and dorsal root ganglion morphology were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the absence of mechanical pressure, disappearance of the nucleolus, degeneration of the nuclear membrane and significant hyperalgesia derived by auto-transplantation of nucleus pulposus to the epidural cavum of rats were observed. Dorsal root ganglion cells often had hyperemia, edema and intracytoplasmic vacuoles, with large and irregular nuclei. Prominent Nissl bodies were not seen. The Inflammatory reaction derived by autograft nucleus pulpcsus is an important factor in DRG injury and sciatica.

Objective To study the correlation between liver fibroindex and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy.Methods The clinical data of 77 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent hepatectomy at the 5th Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University from 2009 October to 2014 December were analyzed retrospectively.Using data from preoperative Fibroindex,these patients were divided into 2 groups,Group 1:Fibroindex ≤5.4,and Group 2:Fibroindex >5.4.The clinical pathological parameters and postoperative disease free survival rates in these groups were analyzed.The Cox ratio risk pattern analysis was used for factors correlating recurrence.Results The parameters in the 2 groups which included sex (35/0 vs 29/13),type of cirrhosis (23/12 vs 14/28),numbers of tumor (35/0 vs 26/16),maximal diameter of tumor (31/4 vs 23/19),vascular invasion status (32/3 vs 26/16),resection margin status (35/0 vs 36/6),hepatic vein/portal vein tumor thrombus status (35/0 vs 29/13),perioperative change of HBV DNA levels (23/12 vs 15/27)were correlated with postoperative recurrence,and they all showed significant differences (P < 0.05).Disease free survival rate in Group 2 was lower than Group 1 (71.4%,33.7%,22.4% vs 94.3%,46.2%,46.2%,P < 0.05).The Cox regression analysis showed Fibroindex > 5.4,AFP-L3% ≥ 10%,and number of tumor > 3 to be independent predictors of poor disease-free survival after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (P < 0.05).Conclusions Preoperative Fibroindex > 5.4 was an independent adverse predictor of poor disease-free survival.It was valuable to predict postoperative recurrence in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
