Objective To investigate the clinical value of combined detection of the serum levels of CA125,CA72-4 and tumor specific growth factor(TSGF)in the diagnosis of ovary cancer and the curative effect.Methods Serum levels of CA125,CA72-4 and TSGF in 68 patients with ovary cancer,53 patients with benign ovary rumor and 50 normal controls were measured by chemiluminescent immunoassay(CLIA)and chemical colorimetry.Results and clinical data were statisticaly analyzed.Results The levels of CA125,CA72-4 and TSGF in ovary cancer group were higher than that in the benign ovarian tumor group and healthy controls(all P <0.01).When use three tumor markers united detection,sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 91.2%,83.0% and 87.4% respectively.The sensitivity and accuracy was higher than any single detection.The specificity with single CA125 testing was consistently.The levels of CA125,CA72-4 and TSGF in patients with ovary cancer were significantly different after surgical treatment for five days(all P <0.05).Conclusion The combined detection of the three markers may increase the positive rate in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer,and help to differentiate the benign and malignant ovarian tumor,but also is valuable to observe the curative rate and postoperative monitor of the ovary cancer.

Objective:To observe the characteristics of the phagocytosis and bactericidal function of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MDR- Mtb)-infected macrophage model, and the changes of the immune response and metabolic function in the process of phagocytosis and bactericidal function, aiming to provide reference for studying the role and mechanism of macrophages in the occurrence and development of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis(MDR-TB). Methods:We established MDR- Mtb and H37Rv-infected macrophage models, and used the colony-forming unit (CFU), Magnetic Luminex ? Assay and Cholesterol Assay kit to observe the effects on phagocytosis and bactericidal function, the secretion of Th1(IL-12/23 p40, IL-27 and TNF-α) and Th2 cytokines (IL-6 and IL-10) and cholesterol metabolism. The data were analyzed by SPSS25.0 software. The data were expressed as Mean± SD and analyzed by t test or F test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:(1) After MDR- Mtb-infected macrophages, the intracellular CFU gradually increased and reached the highest at 24 h, while the extracellular CFU gradually decreased and reached the lowest at 24 h. The intracellular CFU at 48 h was lower than that at 24 h, while the extracellular CFU was higher than that at 24 h ( P<0.05). Both intracellular and extracellular CFU at 48 h were close to those at 4 h ( P>0.05). The intracellular CFU was lower than the H37Rv group at 8-48 h, while the extracellular CFU was higher than the H37Rv group ( P<0.05). (2) The level of IL-12/23 p40, IL-27, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 of MDR-TB group were higher than those of blank group ( P<0.05), but the level of TNF-α and IL-6 at 24 h and 48 h were higher than that at 4 h ( P<0.05). IL-12/23 p40 and TNF-α at 48 h and IL-6 at 24 h were lower than those of the H37Rv group, while IL-27 at 48 h was higher than that of the H37Rv group ( P<0.05). (3) The levels of cholesterol of MDR-TB group at 24 h and 48 h were lower than those of 4 h and blank group ( P<0.05), but the level of cholesterol was similar to the H37Rv group at any time ( P>0.05). (4) TNF-α reached the highest when the intracellular CFU reached the highest at 24 h, and IL-6 reached the highest when the intracellular CFU decreased at 48 h. With the decreasing of cholesterol expression, the intracellular CFU increased and then decreased. Conclusions:MDR- Mtb could induce the phagocytosis and bactericidal function of macrophages, increase the expression of Th1 and Th2 cytokines and promote the utilization and consumption of cholesterol, but this function was weaker than that of H37Rv strain.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare Ursolic acid (UA)/Pluronic F127 (PF127)/TPGS-doxorubicin (DOX) mixed nanomicelles, and to characterize it and study its in vitro release behavior. METHODS: UA/PF127/TPGS nanomicelles were prepared by thin film hydration method. Using encapsulation efficiency of UA as index, combined with the results of single factor tests, L9(34) orthogonal test was used to optimize drug dosage of UA, molar ratio of PF127 to TPGS, hydration temperature and hydration volume, validation test was performed. On the basis of succinylated TPGS, TPGS-DOX was synthesized and mixed with UA/PF127/TPGS to prepare UA/PF127/TPGS-DOX mixed nanomicelles, the appearance, particle size and critical micelle concentration (PF127/TPGS) were investigated. The drug release behavior was examined by dialysis bag diffusion method. RESULTS: The optimal preparation technology of UA/PF127/TPGS nanomicelles was as follows as drug dosage of UA 8 mg, molar ratio of PF127 to TPGS 3 ∶ 7, hydration temperature 50 ℃, hydration volume 4 mL. Average encapsulation efficiency of UA in nanomicelles was 89.00% (RSD=0.43%, n=3). The prepared UA/PF127/TPGS-DOX mixed nanomicelles solution was clear with opalescence. The nanomicelles were spherical and uniform in size; average particle size was (115.00±9.42) nm; critical micelle concentration of PF127/TPGS (molecular ratio 3 ∶ 7) was 0.001 3%. The in vitro drug release of UA and DOX in the mixed nanomicelles was significantly slowed down, compared with raw materials or substance control. The drug release process of the two drugs in the nanomicelles conformed to Weibull equation. CONCLUSIONS: UA/PF127/TPGS-DOX mixed nanomicelles are successfully prepared with uniform particle size, good stability and good sustained-release effect.
