Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2016;28(5):586-588
Objective To explore the size changes of erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium malariae,so as to improve the basic?level experimenters’microscopy capabilities for P. malariae identification in thin blood smears. Methods The micro?scopic features of erythrocytes infected with P. malariae in thin peripheral blood smears were observed,and a microscope image processing software was used to measure and analyze the diameter changes of the erythrocytes infected with P. malariae. Re?sults The diameter of erythrocytes infected with P. malariae decreased significantly compared with that of the normal erythro?cytes. The three parameters in this study:the diameter of erythrocytes,the value of diameter variation,and the ratio of diameter variation varied at different developmental stages of P. malariae,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.01). The variances of the three parameters grouped by different cases or different developmental stages in different cases were ana?lyzed,all showing statistically significant differences(all P<0.01). Conclusion All the developmental stages of P. malariae will cause the decrease of the diameters of infected erythrocytes in peripheral blood smears,but the influence on the diameter of erythrocytes,value of diameter variation,and ratio of diameter variation varies at different developmental stages in different cases.

Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2017;46(2):214-219
Objective To investigate the correlations of serum markers of hepatitis B virus,HBV DNA load and liver function indexes[alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate transaminase(AST)]in the peripheral blood.Methods Clinical data of 483 patients who were diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B and treated between March 2014 and March 2016 in Tongji hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The serum markers of hepatitis B virus were quantitatively detected by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay.Serum HBV DNA load was measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,and ALT and AST by continuous ultraviolet monitoring.Results There was no correlation between the HBsAg content and HBV DNA load or the rates of abnormal ALT(>41 U/L)and abnormal AST(>35 U/L)(P>0.05).The HBeAg content was not correlated with HBV DNA load and the rates of abnormal ALT(P>0.05),but weakly with the rate of abnormal AST(r=0.21,P<0.01).Although the anti-HBe content was not correlated with the rate of abnormal ALT(P>0.05),it was weakly related to HBV DNA load and the rates of abnormal AST(r=0.16,P<0.05;r=0.19,P<0.01).The anti-HBc content had weak correlations with HBV DNA load,the rates of abnormal ALT and abnormal AST(r=0.25,P<0.01;r=0.29,P<0.01;r=0.29,P<0.01).The logarithm value of HBV DNA load was weakly positively correlated with ALT and AST(r=0.24;r=0.29).Conclusion Quantitative detection of both serum markers and the DNA of hepatitis B virus can complement each other,and when combined with detection of liver function indexes,it will help understand the damage of liver tissue.
9.Study of procalcitonin and C-reactive protein in predicting enterog-enous bacterial infection among diarrheal patients after irinotecan chemotherapy
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2015;(7):382-385
Objective:To investigate procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels in diarrheal patients who underwent irinotecan che-motherapy. Methods:Procalcitonin and C-reactive protein were detected among 85 diarrheal and 63 non-diarrheal patients after irinote-can chemotherapy. Results:According to WHO classification, patients without diarrhea are classified as grade 0, whereas patients with diarrhea can be classified as gradesⅠ-Ⅳ. In grades 0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, andⅣpatients, the levels of procalcitonin were 0.29 ± 0.17, 0.30 ± 0.18, 0.36 ± 0.20, 1.24 ± 0.22, and 2.15 ± 0.26 ng/mL on the second day, respectively. However, on the fourth day, the procalcitonin lev-els were 0.28 ± 0.15, 0.30 ± 0.14, 0.34 ± 0.18, 2.00 ± 0.22, and 2.40 ± 0.28 ng/mL, respectively. Moreover, in grades 0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, andⅣ, the levels of C-reactive protein were 6.06 ± 1.85, 6.12 ± 1.16, 6.20 ± 1.68, 22.62 ± 4.55, and 31.26 ± 5.23 mg/L on the second day, respectively. On the fourth day, the C-reactive protein levels were 5.80 ± 1.82, 5.94 ± 1.14, 6.15 ± 1.55, 30.52 ± 4.74, and 38.67 ± 5.68 mg/L, respectively. No significant difference was found between the procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels of stagesⅠandⅡpa-tients (P>0.05), but a significant difference was found between stagesⅠ, andⅡpatients and stagesⅢandⅣpatients (P<0.05). Con-clusion: Monitoring levels of procalcitonin and C-reactive protein may be helpful in the early evaluation of the severity of diarrhea. This process has prognostic effect and can be used to assess whether patients have enterogenous bacterial infection. Monitoring the lev-els of these proteins has certain clinical value and can be used to guide early anti-infection therapy.
