Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of nano-carbon tracer technology in lymph node dissection and postoperative pathological examination in laparoscopic mid-low rectal cancer resection.Methods:Fifty-two patients with mid-low rectal cancer were randomly divided into experimental group (n=27) and control group (n=25).Before surgery,the Nano-group were injected nano activated carbon suspension liquid under the mucosa.Both groups were accepted the same principles of open colorectal cancer radical surgery.The total number of lymph nodes,number of tiny lymph nodes,number of black dye and number of metastasis lymph node confirmed by pathology in the two groups were statistical analysised.Results:There were 905 pieces of lymph node seized in two groups toally,including (20.67 ± 5.751) medals in Nano-carbon group and (13.88 ±4.466) medals in control group.Lymph node number in nano carbon group was more than control group (P＜0.01).Nano-carbon group seized 113 tiny lymph nodes,significantly higher than 49 in the control group (P＜0.05).The metastasis rate of lymph node was no significant difference in the two groups (P＞0.05).Nano-carbon group seized lymph node metastasis was no significant difference in the rate of the control group (P＞0.05).Nano-carbon group seized 341 black dyed lymph nodes and 217 not black dye lymph nodes.And 67 cases of metastasis lymph nodes in Black dye lymph nodes,15 cases of metastasis lymph nodes in not the black dye lymph nodes.The metastasis rate of black dye lymph node was higher(P＜0.01).Conclusions:Nano-carbon tracer technique can guide the surgeon to accurately lymph nodes dissection during the operation,and can add to the number of lymph nodes in the postoperative surgical specimens,improve lymph nodes in patients with colorectal cancer radical seized quantity.Nano-carbon tracer technique can ensure the accuracy of the pathological staging,there was important clinical significance to lymph node dissection in Mid-low colorectal cancer,which provide an important basis for the development of postoperative adjuvant therapy programs.

Objective: To establish and evaluate a domestic Chemiluminescence immunoassay(CLIA) for detecting serum human epididymis protein4(HE4). Methods: To establish a double antibody sandwich CLIA for the determination of serum HE4. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were used to label two different monoclonal antibodies of HE4. The separation could be realized by the magnetic particles coated with anti-FITC antibodies. Measure the relative light unit (RLU) after adding substrate solution, the RLU is proportional to the concentration of HE4. After evaluating the analytical performance including sensitivity, precision, accuracy, linearity, specificity under the optimized condition, this study compared the method with the commerical HE4 kits as well. Results: The precision of with-in lot , and with-out lot are less than 4.0% and 5.0% respectively; Recovery is within 90.0%-110.0%; LoB is 5.0 pmol/L; functional sensitivity is 15.0 pmol/L; measure range is 15.0-1 500.0 pmol/L; the Correlation coefficient is bigger than 0.99 comparing with commercial kits. The AUC(area under curve) of three methods is 0.895, 0.900 and 0.896 respectively. Conclusions This study established a sensitive CLIA method with high repeatability and wide measure range; it has good correlation with commercial HE4 test kits.(Chin J Lab Med, 2018, 41: 615-620)

Objective To investigate the reliability of using the pubic symphysis diastasis of 25 mm and anterior separation distance of sacroiliac joint to differentiate anteroposterior compression (APC) type Ⅰ and Ⅱ injuries as well as assess the injury severity.Methods A total of 11 (seven males and four females) fresh cadaver specimens with 22 hemipelvis were collected.The pelvic APC injury test models including fixed hemipelvis (restricted group) and unfixed hemipelvis (non-restricted group) were established,with 11 hemipelvis in each group according to the random number table method.Meanwhile the specimens were divided into male group (14 hemipelvis) and female group (eight hemipelvis),simulating APC type injury external rotation hemipelvis.The public symophysis interval and anterior interval of sacroiliac joint of the original pelvis,the pubic symphysis diastasis and anterior diastasis of sacroiliac joint after anterior tibiofibular ligament failure,as well as the affected pelvis ligament and sacral ligament injury were recorded and compared between the restricted and non-restricted groups,male and female groups.Results There were no significant differences in the public symphysis interval of the original pelvis and anterior interval of sacroiliac joint between the restricted group and the non-restricted group (P ＞ 0.05).The pubic symphysis interval of the original pelvis was [(5.13 ± 0.61) mm] in male group and (4.03 ± 0.84)mm] in female group (P ＜ 0.05).When the anterior tibiofibular ligament ruptured,the pubic symphysis diastasis distance was (23.36 ± 7.27) mm,ranging from 12 to 41 mm,and the diastasis distance of anterior sacroiliac joint was (9.82 ± 3.25)mm,ranging from 5 to 18 mm.In terms of the public symphysis interval,there were no significant differences between male and female groups,restricted and the non-restricted groups (P ＞ 0.05).In terms of anterior interval of sacroiliac joint,there was significant difference between male and female groups (P ＜ 0.05) but no significant difference between the restricted and non-restricted groups (P ＞ 0.05).In the restricted group,sacrotuberous ligament injuries were found in four patients,and sacrospinous ligament injuries in five,whhile there were no obvious sacrospinous ligament and sacrotuberous ligament injuries in non-restricted group.There were 10 specimens with the pubic symphysis diastasis ≥23.36 mm and 10 specimens with the diastasis distance of anterior sacroiliac joint ≥9.82 mm (46％),and there were 15 specimens with at least the pubic symphysis interval ≥ 23.36 mm or the anterior interval of sacroiliac joint ≥ 9.82 mm (68％).Conclusions The public symphysis interval ≥ 23.36 mm or anterior interval of sacroiliac joint ≥ 9.82 mm can distinguish anteroposterior compression Ⅰ from Ⅱ injuries,and the combination of the two criteria can be beneficial to assessment of pelvic injury severity.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease caused by the interaction of environment and genetic factors. Epigenetic modification is a bridge between environmental factors and genetic factors. DNA methylation is an important regulatory mode of epigenetic modification, which can regulate gene expression at the pre-transcriptional level. Studies have shown that DNA methylation plays an important role in the occurrence and development process of atherosclerosis. Therefore, atherosclerosis-related DNA demethylation, especially carotid atherosclerosis-related DNA demethylation, can be achieved by natural or synthetic DNA demethylases, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing or treating atherosclerotic cerebrovascular disease. This article reviews DNA methylation and its relationship with atherosclerosis and DNA demethylation therapy.
