Journal of Third Military Medical University 1983;0(04):-
The clinical and pathological data of 208 cases of chronic active hepatitis (CAH) were analyzed, pre liminarily. CAH can be categorized into 6 clinical types: (1) anicteric type, (2) icteric type,(3) severe jaundice and ascites type, ( 4 ) advanced cirrhrotic type, ( 5 ) obstructive jaundice type, and ( 6 ) atypical type.The pathological findings of the 208 cases can be divided into the following. (1) periportal necrotico-inf lammatory type, in which piecemeal necrosis(PN) was prominant, ( 2 ) bridging necrotic type, in which PN and bridging necrosis were present, ( 3 ) submassive necrotic type, multilobular or submassive necrosis occurred, ( 4 ) hepatitis-cirrhotic type, PN with fibrous septa and formation of pseudolobules were seen, and ( 5 ) cholestatic type, PN with intrahepatic cholestasis was pathognomonic.

Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1981;0(04):-
According to clinical manifestations, 122 cases of subacute and chronic severe viral hepatitis confirmed by pathologic examination, were divided into two types. The severe jaundice-ascites(SJ-A) type accounted for 93 cases (76.2%) and the subfulminant hepatic failure (SFHF) type 29 cases (23.8%), with a ratio of 3.2 : 1. For SFHF type, hepatic encephalopathy was the first prominent feature and ascites might or might not appeared later. Therefore, this type was most easily misdiagnosed as fulminant hepatitis. In comparison with SJ-A type, the average elevation of serum bilirubin was lower and the average depression of prothrombin activivty more remarkable in SFHF type, suggesting that the degree of hepatic necrosis was more severer and the progress to hepatic failure more rapid. The mortality of SFHF type (93.1%) was markedly higher than that of SJ A type (62.4%) (x2 = 7.488, P

Objective To study the effects of IFN ?,TNF ?,IL 1 and dexamethasone on the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1(ICAM 1) of primary cultured human hepatocyte. Methods ICAM 1 expression of primary cultured human hepatocyte was induced in vitro by IFN ?,TNF ? and IL 1, measuring by cellular enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The effect of dexamethasone on human hepatocyte ICAM 1 expression was observed by adding dexamethasone into the cultured human hepatocytes prior to cytokine stimulation. Results The levels of ICAM 1 expression were significantly lower in unstimulated human hepatocytes than in human hepatocytes induced by IFN ?,TNF ? and IL 1. There were relations among the levels of ICAM 1 expression and cytokine concentration as well as induced period of time. Dexamethasone could partly inhibit the ICAM 1 expression on human hepatocytes induced by TNF ?,IL 1 and IFN ?.The inhibition rates were 40.3%?5.9%,38.1%?4.8%, and 37.6%?6.7%, respectively.Conclusions Enhanced ICAM 1 expression of primary cultured human hepatocyte may be induced in vitro by IFN ?,TNF ? and IL 1, which may be partly inhibited by dexamethasone.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of cold agglutination on blood group typing. 【Methods】 37℃ water bath, absorption elution test and 2-mercaptoethanol method were used to eliminate the influence of cold agglutination. Forward and reverse blood group typing, cross matching, DAT and IAT experiments were then performed on red blood cells and serum after treatment. 【Results】 Before treatment, obvious discrepancy in forward /reverse typing and nontypable cross matching in 16 blood samples were noticed due to cold agglutination. After corresponding treatments, all samples were consistent or negative in forward/reverse typing, cross matching and antibody screening. No adverse reactions to cross matching blood transfusion occurred in patients, and the increase of hemoglobin was in line with the effective standard of transfusion. 【Conclusion】 37℃ water bath, absorption elution test and 2-mercaptoethanol method can be used to eliminate the interference caused by cold agglutination to obtain correct typing results. The strong reactivity caused by cold agglutination in AIHA patients were different from other cases, which deserved our attention.

Objective To study the probability of using hepatitis D virus (HDV) ribozyme as a kind of anti-hepatitis-C-virus (HCV) gene thera-py drugs. Methods The natural HDV genomic ribozyme′s stem Ⅳ was optimized and its substrate-binding region reconstructed, thus three recombinant HCV-specific HDV genomic ribozymes RzC1, RzC2 and RzC3 were obtained. HCV RNA 5'-noncoding region and 5'-fragment of C region (HCV RNA5'-NCR-C) were transcribed from plasmid pHCV-neo by T7 phage RNA polymerase in vitro, and radiolabelled at its 5'-end. The trans-cleaving reaction was performed by mixing the ribozymes and substrate at mol ratio 100∶1 under conditions as follows: 37℃, pH7.5, Mg2+ 20 mmol/L and deionized formamide 2.5 mol/L. Percentage of trans-cleaved products were calculated at different time points and used as the activity indicator of the three ribozymes. Results RzC1, RzC2 trans-cleaved more substrate when the time extended, and got to 24.9%,20.3% after reac-ting for 90 minutes respectively; RzC3 was not able to trans-cleave its substrate. Conclusion Recombinant HDV genomic ribozymes have the ability to trans-cleave HCV RNA, but the appropriate target sequence should be selected.

Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2018;39(4):394-398
Objective To explore the application value of high-definition magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment of preoperative stage B-ⅡB cervical cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 94 patients with cervical cancer who had received preoperative pelvic examination in Changhai Hospital of Navy Medical University (Second Military Medical University) from Mar. 2015 to Jun. 2017. Fifty-eight of them received conventional MRI examination and 36 received high-definition MRI examination. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the three methods for vaginal and parametrial invasion were evaluated using the postoperative pathological assessments as the gold standard. And the Kappa test was used to perform consistency analysis. Results For vaginal invasion, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of pelvic examination were 63.8% (60/94), 53.7% (29/54) and 77.5% (31/40), respectively; those of conventional MRI examination were 58.6% (34/58), 48.5% (16/33) and 72.0% (18/25), respectively; and those of high-definition MRI examination were 83.3% (30/36), 76.5% (13/17) and 89.5% (17/19), respectively. Kappa test showed that the consistency of pathology and pelvic examination and high-definition MRI examination assessments was good in evaluating vaginal invasion (Kappa=0.297, 0.664; P=0.002, 0.001). For parametrial invasion, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of pelvic examination were 79.8% (75/94), 20.0% (1/5) and 83.1% (74/89), respectively; those of conventional MRI examination were 74.1% (43/58), 31.2% (5/16) and 90.5% (38/42), respectively; and those of high-definition MRI examination were 86.1% (31/36), 60.0% (6/10) and 96.1% (25/26), respectively. Kappa test showed that the consistency of pathology and conventional MRI examination and high-definition MRI examination assessments was good in evaluating parametrial invasion (Kappa=0.251, 0.618; P=0.040, 0.001). Conclusion High-definition MRI examination and pathological examination have a good consistency in preoperative assessment of cervical cancer at stage B-ⅡB, and can be a common method for preoperative evaluation of cervical cancer.
