Objective To explore the correlation of random spot albuminuria to creatinine ratio (ACR) and 24 h uri?nary protein, and the diagnostic value of ACR in women with hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy (HDCP). Meth?ods A total of 584 women with HDCP (169 with gestational hypertension, 205 with mild pre-eclampsia, 173 with severe pre-eclampsia and 37 with chronic hypertension) and 2 038 normal pregnant women were included in this study. Changes of ACR, 24-h urinary protein and other biochemical indicators were compared between groups. Bivariate correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between ACR, 24-h urinary protein and other biochemical indicators. Receiver operat?ing characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the sensitivity, specificity and optimal cut off value of ACR for predicting HDCP. Results (1)There were significantly higher levels of ACR, 24-h urinary protein, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and significantly lower val?ues of platelet (PLT), serum albumin and total protein in women with severe preeclampsia than those of other groups ( P <0.05). (2) There were positive correlation between ACR and 24-h urinary protein, BUN, Cr, UA, D-dimer, TC, LDL (P <0.05). (3) The optimal cut off value of ACR for predicting gestational hypertension, mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia (24-h urinary protein≥2 g,≥5 g) were 1.44, 10.48, 39.84, 94.91 g/mol separately. Conclusion There is positive correla?tion between ACR and 24 hour urinary protein. ACR can be used for diagnosing and estimating the severity degree of hyper?tensive disorders complicating pregnancy.

AIM: To investigate the damages of adrenal gland in rabbits infected with neisseria meningococci(MC).METHODS: 18 rabbits were injected with MC (1?10 11 organism/kg, iv, model group, n=10 ) or normal saline (control group, n=8 ).TNF-? was detected in baseline (before challenged), 60 min and 120 min after injection. 120 min after injection, TNF-? immunochemical localization of adrenal gland was detected with ABC methods by electron microscopy. RESULTS: In model group, TNF-? positive cells were located in medulla and TNF-? released into simus of medulla. The medulla damages were appeared but gland cells of cortex was normal. No damages were showed in control group. TNF-? value of plasm was elevated at 60 min and 120 min after injection compared with control group. CONCLUSION: TNF-? was released into medulla and resulted in medulla damages after MC challenging. Adrenal cortex didnt damaged in early phase of MC septic shock. [

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of Endophilin II and VEGF-C in human Laryngeal cancer and its relationship with the clinical treatment effect. METHOD: The expression and distribution of Endophilin II and VEGF-C protein were checked in 47 patients with laryngeal carcinoma in our hospital in 2006-09-2009-10 and 23 samples of normal tissues around the cancer by immunohistochemical staining SP method. After an appropriate surgical treatment, patients accepted a 5-year followup to evaluate their recurrence situation and 5-year survival rate. RESULT: Immunohistochemistry showed that Endophilin II protein was strongly positive expressed in normal tissues around the cancer (positive rate 82.61%). And the expression level was dependent on the lymph metastasis, T stage and lymph invasion (P < 0.05). Patients with positive Endophilin II expression had a higher survival rate and better recurrence situation. Expression of VEGF-C was significantly higher in laryngeal carcinoma than in normal tissue around the cancer (positive rate 51.06% and 13.04%). the expression level was dependent on the lymph metastasis and lymph invasion (P < 0.05), and negatively correlated with recurrence and 5-year survival rate. CONCLUSION Endophilin II and VEGF-C may involve in laryngeal cancer, and the expression of Endophilin II and VEGF-C has a positive correlation with pathological features and lymph metastasis, and both are related with recurrence and 5-year survival rate. So these two proteins are likely to be a potential target for diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal cancer.

One-day-old unvaccinated chicks were inoculated with serotype I virulent strain GA and vaccine strain CVI988, serotype III vaccine strain HVT o f Marek's disease viruses(MDV). By using an indirect immunofluorescence assay of suspensions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) with monoclonal antibo dies(MAb) BA4 and BD8 specific to glycoprotein B of MDV, The dynamic course s of vir emia levels for each of 3 strains from 4 days to 45 days postinfection (PI) were determind. Viremia for virulent strain GA-infected chickens were detected from 4 days PI until days before death of infected chickens, it got its peak at abou t 14 days PI. Viremia in serotype 1 vaccine CVI988-inoculated chickens were mea sured between 4 to 22 days PI, it could be detected from 4 days PI and ended at 18 days PI, it got its peak at 8 days PI. For serotype 3 vaccine HVT-inoculated chickens, viremia could be detected beween 4 to 14 days PI, its peak happened a t about 6 days PI. Such IFA with MAbs BA4 and BD8 could be used to evaluate qu al ity of vaccination process in chicken flocks. The differential dynamic courses o f viremia for different strains may be used to diagnose virulent MDV infection i n vaccinated flocks. The viremia levels measured by IFA with the MAbs and co-cu ltivation assay for plague forming unit(PFU) were compared. The results indicate d that IFA assay of PBMC suspension was more sensitive and specific than co-cu ltivation assay, i.e. viremia levels measured by IFA were 30 to 100-fold higher than that by plague-forming assay in CEF for the same sample.

Left atrial appendage ( LAA) arises from the left atrial free wall. It is the remnant of the original embryonic LA, distinct from the rest of the left atrium. It has a unique anatomical structure, physiological function, hemodynamic characteristics. LAA has complex surrounding structures, great variability, and close relation with thrombosis. This paper reviews the morphological and functional characteristics of LAA. Familiar with adjacent relationship of LAA and correlation between LAA and thrombus formation has important clinical significance that can reduce the risk of postoperative complications in interventional procedures, the incidence of car?dioembolic stroke, the clinical misdiagnosis on LAA thrombosis.
