OBJECTIVE To study the phenomenon of hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) and antibody(HBsAb) both positive in blood samples.METHODS Using electro-chemo-luminescence immune system E170 to detect HBsAg and HBsAb in clinical samples and retest the both positive cases by another two reagents for HBsAg and another three reagents for HBsAb.RESULTS All 7332 samples showed 140 both HBsAg and HBsAb positive(1.9%) and 73 of them were retested for HBsAb by another three reagents which gave altogether 24 positive results,which was not related to each other.Those gave higher HBsAb value by E170 showed higher positive rate by Abbott reagent.CONCLUSIONS HBsAg and HBsAb both positive results are not rare.It may be due to the interactions between the patient and the infected hepatitis B virus.Besides,the quality of reagents and correct lab operating procedures may also affect the test results.

Objective To study the life span of Trichinella spiralis male adult and its effect on female fertility.Methods 22 Kunming mice were divided into three groups.Group A was orally inoculated by encysted larvae,dissected at day 5,10,20,and 30 post infection,adult worms were then collected and counted.Group B was fed with 5-day adults(70 females + 30 males/mouse).Group C was fed with 5-day females(70/mouse) only.Groups B and C were sacrificed 30 days post inoculation,larvae were collected to calculate reproductive capacity index(RCI).Male worms of day 5,10,20 and 30 were fixed in glutaraldehyde for scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).Results 20 days after infection,there were more males than females in the intestines of group A mice(female :male =1 :1.3),but much more males than females on the 30th day after infection(female :male =1 :8.5).Mice of groups B and C were infected by 5-day adults successfully with a RCI of 154.90?2.62 and 13.77?1.67 respectively(t=111.26,P

Bladder cancer is a common tumor with a high rate of recurrence and quick progression.Many biomarkers for the detection of bladder cancer have been identified,but none has been reported to date to have sufficient sensitivity and specificity.Recent researches are concentrated on p53,Rb,Cyclin D,P27kip-1,FGFR3,Cadherin,Survivin,Aurora,MMP,VEGF and DNA Methylation.In spite of their different sensitivities for bladder cancer of different stages or degrees,these biomarkers are valuable for its diagnosis and prognosis.

In order to improve the performance of the photorefraction device,shorten the detection time and improve the accuracy of measuring,the theory of a new kind of double-cranny eccentric photorefraction device is described.Some features and key point of technology are emphatically pointed out.A method is put forward to determine the ocular diopter by image processing.

BACKGROUND:With elevated medical levels, limb salvage surgery for limb malignant tumor is valuable day by day. At present, the limb salvage surgery has substituted amputation and becomes mainstream and development direction of present surgical treatment of limb tumors. However, so far, there are no unified surgical indications for proximal femur tumor, which are controversial. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy of artificial total hip arthroplasty combined with extended resection of tumor sections for proximal femoral bone tumors. METHODS:Patients with proximal femoral bone tumors in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University were selected and divided into control group and observation group, with 30 patients in each group. According to the disease, lesion curettage, aneurysm wal inactivation, autologous and (or) al ogeneic bone, mixed bone graft and bone graft fixation were selected to treat the control group. The observation group patients received extended resection of tumor sections and total hip arthroplasty. The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay and joint function of two groups were compared. 2 years later, patients were revisited. Metastasis and recurrence rate, death rate and quality of life of two groups were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and surgery time between the two groups (P>0.05). However, hospital stay of patients in the observation group was shorter than the control group. The excellent and good rate of recovery of joint function (83%) was higher in the observation group than in the control group (53%). The metastasis and recurrence rate within 2 years after surgery (7%) and death rate (3%) were lower in the observation group than in the control group (30%, 23%). Various indicators of quality of life of patients in the observation group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). These results confirmed that artificial total hip arthroplasty in the treatment of proximal femur tumors is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology and drug resistance associated with fungal infection during early postoperative period after liver transplantation in the purpose of prevention and treatment.Methods A total of 118 cases of liver transplantation admitted from April 2004 to January 2009 in Nanfang Hospital were studied retrospectively,and the fungal infection and drug resistance were identified.Results Fungal infections occurred in 26 cases (22.0%).Totally there were 49 fungi strains isolated,of which mainly Candida albicans (57.1%),followed by Aspergillus (18.4%),Smooth Candida (10.2%),Candida tropicalis (6.1%),Candida parapsilosis (4.1%),and Candida krusei (4.1%).The sensitive rate of voriconazole,itraconazole,amphotericin B,5-fluorouracil,fluconazole were 92.0%,90.0%,75.5%,73.5%,and 55.1% respectively.Conclusion Because of the change of fungi strains and the increase of drug resistance,it’s important to identify the fungi and drug resistance for the purpose of prophylaxis and treatments.
