International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2009;30(9):854-855
Objective To investigate the relationship between PreS1 antigen and five items of HBV serological markers(HBV M), as well as the clinical significance of combined measurement of PreS1 antigen and HBV M in patients with hepatitis B. Methods Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to testing serum in 268 patients with hepatitis B. Results The detection rate of PreS1 antigen was 85.88% in HBeAg'positive samples,significantly higher than that in HBeAg nega-tive samples(39.34%), P<0.01. Conclusion PreS1 antigen may effectively reflect the situation of HBV amplification. Combined measurement of PreS1 antigen and HBV serological markers in clinical examination contributes to clinical diagnosis,therapeutic effect monitoring and prognosis evaluation.

Objective Xerophthalmia is a common disease of the ocular surface .Lupus nephritis ( LN) may induce changes in the ocular surface , which has aroused increasing attention in ophthalmology .This study was to observe the morphological changes of the tear meniscus in LN patients with xerophthalmia after treated with artificial tears . Methods This clinical trial included 60 LN patients with xerophthalmia (120 eyes) and another 60 without.The xerophthalmia group received artificial tear eye-drops for 1 month. The tear meniscus height (TMH), tear meniscus depth (TMD), and tear meniscus area (TMA) were measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography ( AS-OCT) before and after intervention . Results There were significant differences between the xe-rophthalmia and control groups in the baseline TMH ([0.159 ±0.051] vs [0.269 ±0.053] mm, P<0.01), TMD ([0.154 ± 0.012] vs [0.198 ±0.007] mm, P<0.01), and TMA ([0.021 ±0.069] vs [0.052 ±0.021] mm2, P<0.01).After 1 month of intervention with artificial tears, the xerophthalmia patients showed dramatically increased TMH ([0.179 ±0.014] vs [0.159 ± 0.051] mm, P<0.01), TMD ([0.163 ±0.015] vs [0.154 ±0.012] mm, P<0.01), and TMA ([0.040 ±0.017] vs [0.021 ± 0.069] mm2, P<0.01). Conclusion AS-OCT, with its advantages of clearly and objectively imaging and measuring the cross section of the tear meniscus , can be applied to the diagnosis and assessment of xerophthalmia in LN patients , and artificial tear eye-drops can effectively relieve their xerophthalmia symptoms .

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of super selective embolization combined with opera-tion for treatment of meningiomas.Methods 82 cases treated by operation and pathology in return for meningioma were collected in the study,including 44 cases of preoperative superselective embolization for aneurysms as the treat-ment group,and the remaining 38 cases without preoperative embolization of patients as the control group.The opera-tion time,bleeding amount in the operation and the rate of total tumor removal were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results The average amount of bleeding of treatment group was (330.36 ±95.41)mL.The average amount of bleeding of control group was (460.82 ±114.64)mL.The data of the two groups was statistically significant (t =5.624,P <0.01).,The treatment group bleeding amount was less than that of the control group;,the mean oper-ation time of treatment group was (5.36 ±2.62)h,,the average operation time of control group was (6.63 ±2.25)h.The data of the two groups was statistically significant (t =2.355,P =0.021 ),the operation time of the treatment group was less than that of the control group.The total resection rate was 70.4% in treatment group and 36.8% in the control group,there was statistically significant (P <0.05),and the total resection rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group.Conclusion Compared with single operation treatment of meningiomas superse-lective embolization combined with operation for treatment of meningiomas can shorten operation time,reduce intraoperative hemorrhage,improve the rate of total tumor removal.It can reduce the operation risk and improve the treatment effect.

OBJECTIVE To study the distribution and characteristic about drug resistance of extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli for guiding the clinical drug using. METHODS Using K-B agar diffusion method and confirmed test to detect the drug resistance and distributions of ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae and E.coli. RESULTS Among 582 K.pneumoniae and E.coli isolates,128(22%) were ESBLs-producing strains.For E.coli,the ratio was 17.5%,while K.pneumoniae was 28.3%.The sensitive rate of K.pneumoniae to imipenem was 100%. CONCLUSIONS ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae and E.coli are the most common species causing infections,and imipenem is the best choice.

Objective To study the impairment and the expression of receptor of advanced glycation endproduct (RAGE) in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells ( GMC ) induced by constant and intermittent high glucose, and to investigate the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Methods After being cultured under constant and intermittent high glucose with different concentrations for 24 and 48 hours, the morphological changes of rat mesangial cells were observed, the proliferation of GMC was detected by MTT assay, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA)in supernatant were measured by spectrophotometer,and the expressions of RAGE mRNA were evaluated by RT-PCR. Results ( 1 ) Compared with the control group,the cellular morphology was changed in case of constant and intermittent high glucose. The damage of GMC with intermittent high glucose concentrations was more serious. (2)The activity of SOD was decreased and the level of MDA was raised in case of intermittent high glucose concentrations compared with the constant high glucose concentrations (P<0.05). (3)The expression of RAGE mRNA with intermittent high glucose concentrations was significantly higher than that with constant high glucose concentrations ( P<0. 01 ). Conclusions The damaging effects and increased expression of RAGE in cultured rat GMC induced by blood glucose fluctuation was much worse than that with constant high glucose. The blood glucose fluctuation may be one of the causes that induce diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To explore the CT and pathological features of renal epithelioid angiomyolipoma (EAML). Methods Clinical data and CT images from ten cases with EAML proved by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were performed with plain and contrast enhanced CT scans. Results CT features: higher pre-contrasted density than kidney, bulging from kidney,absent of fat, markedly heterogeneous enhancement ( quick wash-in and slow wash-out), big size without lobular sign, complete capsule with clear margin and mild necrostic area. Pathological features: diffuse sheets of epithelioid cells were found under microscopy with immunohistochemistrical findings including positivity for HMB-45 and negativity for EMA. Conclusion Some specific CT features, which is correlated well with the pathological findings, provide helpful information in the primary diagnosis of EAML.
