A DS-ELISA using rabbit anti-metacercaria serum-immunoglobulins as the first antibody and anti-metacercaria monoclonal antibodies as the second antibody were developed for the determination of circulating antigens in 38 cases of human paragonimiasis. The positive rate was 100% (38/38).

Objective To evaluate the laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment for acute abdominal emergency. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 35 patients with an acute abdomen of unknown causes diagnosed and treated under laparoscope from December 1999 to April 2003 in this hospital. Results Diagnosis was confirmed by laparoscopy in all the 35 cases. Laparoscopic operation was successfully completed in 28 cases, whereas a conversion to open surgery was required in 7 cases, in which the site of incision was under the guidance of laparoscopic observations. No surgery-related deaths or wound-related complications occurred. The mean operative time was 48 min (range, 30~72 min), and the mean hospital stay was 5.8 days (range, 3~9 days). Conclusions Laparoscopy is not only a safe and accurate diagnostic method, but also a good procedure for treatment.

Background and purpose:RASSF10 acts as a kind of tumor suppressor in various tumor tissues, but researches in cardiac adenocarcinoma has not been reported. This study aimed to detect the methylation status and expression ofRas-association domain family 10 (RASSF10) in gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA), and explore its role in occurrence and development of GCA.Methods:Methylation speciifc polymerase chain reaction (MSP), reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry method were respectively used to detect methylation status, mRNA expression and protein expression ofRASSF10 in 81 GCA tissues and corresponding normal tissues.Results:The promoter methylation frequency ofRASSF10 in GCA tissues (64.20%, 52/81) was signiifcantly higher than that in corresponding normal tissues (20.99%, 17/81,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages, differential degree and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). RASSF10 mRNA expression in GCA tissues (0.57±0.05) was significantly lower than that in corresponding normal tissues (0.78±0.02,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Protein expression of RASSF10 in GCA tissues (31.10%, 26/81) was signiifcantly lower than that in corresponding normal tissues (71.60%, 58/81,P<0.05), and was closely correlated with TNM stages, differential degree and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The promoter methylation frequency ofRASSF10 in GCA tissues was inversely related to its protein expression.Conclusion:Inactivation of RASSF10 caused by aberrantmethylation in the promoter region may be closely correlated with the GCA tumorgenesis.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between stroke and nocturnal sleep apnea syndrome.Method:Some sleep physiological markers of the subjects were observed and analyzed by polysomnography(PSG).Result:OSA and OSH are chief types of sleep respiratory disturbance.AHI and hypoxia time are significantly higher(P<0.01)and nocturnal SaO2 significantly lower(P<0.01)than those in control group.Nocturnal blood pressure curve presented non-Dipper.Conclusion:Stroke is correlated with SAS closely.SAS is one of risk factors in stroke occurance.

Objective　To study the changes of hemodynamics during heterotopic partial liver transplantation (HPLT) in pigs. Methods　10 young pigs after intravenous anesthesia were divided into two groups: donor group (5 pigs) and recipient group (5 pigs). In recipient pigs, a catheter inserted to right cervical artery was used to monitor artery bood pressue, and Swasn-Ganz catheter inserted via right cervical vein was used to monitor hemodynamics during operation.Results　There were significant changes in CO, SV and SVR (P<0.01 or P<0.05); although decreasing in MAP and increasing in HR occurred during operation, but no significance(P>0.05) was found. There were no significant changes in PCWP and PAP during HPLT (P>0.05). Conclusions　There is significant hemodynamic fluctuation during HPLT. It is very important that to monitor hemodynamics, prevent and manage hemodynamics disturbance durig HPLT

Objective To investigate the synergistic efficacy of different antibiotic combinations against KPC-2 carbapenemase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae strains in vitro and search for effective antibiotic combination.Methods During 2008 - 2009,a total of 24 strains of K.pneumoniae producing KPC-2 carbapenemase were collected from 8 hospitals in the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical School of Zhejiang University,Ningbo LiHuiLi Hospital,Zhejiang People's Hospital,Hangzhou Third Hospital,the Second Hospital of Shaoxing,Hangzhou First Hospital,Fudan University Huashan Hospital,General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region.MLST technique was used for epidemiological analysis.The MIC of antibiotics,such as amikacin,minocycline,imipenem,amoxicillin/clavulanic-acid,ceftazidime,meropenem,gentamicin,cefoxitin,cefepime,rifampicin,polymyxinB,ciprofloxacin were determined by an agar dilution method,the MIC of tigecycline and piperacillin/tazobactain were determined by Etest.The antibacterial activities of cefepime in combination with amoxicillin/clavulanic-acid,amikacin,or ciprofloxacin,amikacin with ciprofloxacin,imipenem with amikacin,ciprofloxacin,polymyxinB,or minocycline,polymyxin B with rifampicin,ceftazidime with amoxicillin/clavulanic-acid were assessed by chequerboard synergy agar dilution tests against all the isolates.Results MLST showed 5 STs among 24 strains of KPC-2 carbapenemase producing K.pneumoniae,and the most prevalent clone was ST11 (15 strains).All isolates were susceptible to polymyxin B and tigecycline,and the resistance rate of minocycline was 4.2％.The synergetic effects were observed in cefepime-amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,imipenem-amikacin,ceftazidime-amoxicillin/clavulanic acid combinations as 19 isolates,13 isolates,and 13 isolates,respectively.Conclusions KPC-2 carbapenemase producing K.pneumoniae is sensitive to polymyxin B,tigecycline and minocycline.The synergetic effect is predominant in cefepime-amoxicillin/clavulanic acid,imipenem-amikacin ceftazidime-amoxicillin/clavulanic acid combinations in vitro,their clinical efficacy are worthy of further observation.

Background and purpose: As one of the important epigenetic phenomena, DNA methylation plays an important regulatory function for the expression of genes. Study shows that abnormal changes of DNA methy-lation patterns of normal tumor cell genome leads to dysfunction of cancer related gene, and this may be associated with tumor occurrence and development. The study investigated the promoter methylation and expression of caveolin-1 (CAV-1) gene in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and to elucidate its role in ESCC. Methods:We used MSP approach, RT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry method respectively to examine the methylation status of the 5’CpG island of CAV-1 gene and its expression at mRNA and protein levels in tumors and corresponding normal tissues. Results: CAV-1 mRNA expression in tumor tissues (0.86±0.56) was signiifcantly higher than that in corresponding normal tissues (0.40±0.36, P<0.05). The mRNA expression of CAV-1 was correlated with status of lymphatic metastasis and TNM stage of ESCC patients (P<0.05). The protein expression of CAV-1 in tumor specimens (66.7%, 34/51) was signiifcantly higher than that in corresponding normal tissues (15.7%, 8/51, P<0.01). The protein expression of CAV-1 was signiifcantly associated with lymphatic metastasis of ESCC (P<0.05), however, it was not associated with differen-tiation and TNM stage (P>0.05). The promoter methylation frequency of CAV-1 in tumor specimens was 2.0%(1/51), and the methylation phenomenon has not been found in corresponding normal tissues. The promoter methylation fre-quency of CAV-1 in tumor specimens showed no signiifcant difference compared with the corresponding normal tissues (P>0.05). Conclusion:The mRNA and protein expression of CAV-1 in tumor specimens was signiifcantly higher than that in corresponding normal tissues. Aberrant high expression of CAV-1 has played a certain role in promoting tumori-genesis and lymph node metastasis. The expression both in ESCC and corresponding normal tissues has no correlation with the promoter methylation status.
