ObjectiveTo observe the changes of uric acid level and lipid spectrum, and activities lipid metabolism related enzyme as well as uric acid metabolism-related enzymes on quail abdominal obesity model and then investigate the underlying mechanism of abdominal obesity combined with blood lipid spectrum disorder and hyperuricemia model. MethodsThe quail model of abdominal obesity was induced by feeding with high-fat diet.The body weight and abdominal fat content were measured and the abdominal fat index was calculated. The levels of total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), glucose, and uric acid in serum were determined. The changes of adenosine deaminase (ADA),xanthine oxidase (XOD), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hepatic lipase (HL), and total esterase (TE) activities were also determined. ResultsOn the 7th day, the body weight, abdominal fat content, and abdominal fat index were not significantly different between the model group and control group ( all P >0.05 ). On the 14th day, the body weight was not significantly different between these two groups ( P > 0.05 ), while the abdominal fat content [(3.91 ±2. 13) vs. (2.40±0.96) g, P=0.0468] and abdominal fat index (1.92% ±0.97% vs. 1.22% ±0.45%, P =0.0447) were significantly higher in the model group. On the 7th and 14th day, the levels ofTC (P =0.0042 and P =0.0006, respectively), LDL-C ( P =0.0045 and P =0.0010, respectively) in the model group were significantly higher than those in control group, while the level of TG significantly decreased ( P =0.0006 and P =0.0024, respectively ). On the 7th day, compare with the control group, the activities of ADA ( P =0.0237 )and XOD (P =0.0142) in the model group significantly increased, while the activities of LPL, HL, and TE had no significant changes. On the 14th day, compared with the control group, the activities of ADA ( P =0.0060),XOD ( P =0.0071 ), and LPL ( P =0.0419) in the model group significantly increased, while the activities of HL and TE had no significant changes. ConclusionsHigh-fat diet can induce disorders in blood lipid profiles in quail model, but also may incur abdominal obesity and multiple metabolic disorders. Changes in the activities of uric acid and lipid metabolism related enzymes may be the underlying mechanism of disorders in blood lipid profile and its associated hyperuricemia and abdominal accumulation.

Objective To explore the clinical value of the dual-low-dose with low tube voltage for head and neck CTA. Methods One hundred and sixty patients who were clinically suspected head and neck vascular disease underwent CTA procedure were propective selected, and whose body mass index (BMI) was also lower than 25 kg/m2. Forty cases were randomly selected as conventional group(120 kV,150 mAs, iodine 320 mg/ml), the other 120 cases were as the low dose group. The low dose group divided into three subgroups according to the random number table method, which were low iodine group (37 cases;120 kV,150 mAs, iodine 270 mg/ml), low tube voltage group (42 cases;100 kV,150 mAs, iodine 320 mg/ml) and low iodine and tube voltage group (41 cases;100 kV,150 mAs, iodine 270 mg/ml). The carotid bifurcated CT value, standard deviation (SD), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), iodine intake and effective radiation dose (ED) of the four groups were recorded,all data undertook statistical analysis useing one-way ANOVA. Meanwhile, the subjective image quality score was applied to evaluate the image quality, and the differences among groups were compared by Wilcoxon signed ranks test. Results The image quality score were (2.85±0.19),(2.33 ± 0.34),(2.26 ± 0.32),(2.87 ± 0.22) in the four groups, and there was no statistical difference between groups(P>0.05).The carotid bifurcated CT value were respectively (380±30),(314±27),(514±52) and (425±28) HU in conventional, low iodine, low tube voltage and dual-low-dose groups, and the iodine intake were (18.85±2.10), (15.75±1.78), (18.53±1.98), (15.62±1.92) g, the ED of the four groups were (1.74±0.14), (1.73± 0.11), (1.32 ± 0.08) and (1.35 ± 0.09) mSv, the difference were all statistically significant (P<0.01). Furthermore, the iodine intake and the effective radiation dose in dual-low-dose group were significantly lower than the conventational group. Conclusions Head-and-neck CTA with dual-low-dose scan can provide same quality images as using 100 kV and high dose iodine contrast agent, and which also significantly reduced the ED and iodine intake greatly. Thus, this scanning program has great clinical value.

Objective Study of the rare hepatitis B virus patients model cases which both the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) were positive, and discussion of its cause and the clinical value. Methods serum markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV-M) was detected by microparticle enzyme immunoassay chemiluminescence (MEIA); HBV-DNA was detected by fluores--cence quantitative PCR method, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were detected by colorimetric, and all the data were combined with the clinical features of patients for comprehensive analysis. Results 1) HBsAg and HBsAb double positive detection rate was 2.3% in 15600 cases of hepatitis B patients, there was no significant difference in the positive rate of different sex groups and different age groups (P> 0.05); 2) HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAb, HBcAb positive mode accounted for the highest proportion in all HBsAg and HBsAb double positive cases, the percentage was 57.9%; 3) the positive rate of HBV DNA in hepatitis B patients with HBeAg positive rate were higher than HBeAg negative group in all HBsAg and HBsAb double positive cases; and the incident rate of double variation nt 1762 A-T/nt 1764 G-A in HBeAg negative group was higher than that in HBeAg positive group. There were significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05); 4) the detection rate of HBsAg and HBsAb double positive in patients with chronic hepatitis B were higher than those of asymptomatic carriers, liver cirrhosis, hepatitis B and hepatitis B hepatocellular carcinoma (P < 0.05). Conclusion The phenomenon of both positive HBsAg and HBsAb does not indicate the elimination of the hepatitis B virus infection, but it is likely suggested the mutation of the virus. It is necessary to prompt clinical detection of serum HBV DNA, so as to determine whether the virus in patients is in the replication status, and it also provide some help for clinical individualized treatment of HBsAg and HBsAb double positive patients.

Objective To measure the number of lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, CD5+B lymphocytes and level of IL-10 in peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and analyze their effects in the disease. Methods In this study, 84 cases of patients with SLE were randomly selected and evaluated according to the activity index (SLEDAI). These cases were divided into low activity group (SLEDAI<9) and high activity group (SLEDAI≥9). Ten healthy individuals were selected as the control group at the same time. The number of peripheral blood lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, CD5 + B lymphocytes, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C3, C4 and interleukin (IL)-10 levels in serum were measured respectively and the correlation between the above indexes and SLEDAI and complement levels were analyzed. Pair-wise comparison of means of groups was conducted with one-way ANOVA. Comparison between the two groups was conducted by LSD-t test. Correlations between variables were carried out using Spearman's rank correlation test. Results The total number of lymphocytes in SLE group was lower than that in normal control group ( F=7.216, P<0.001); The number of CD19+ B lymphocytes in SLE group was higher than that in normal control group (F=3.589, P=0.036). The number of CD5+B lymphocytes of peripheral blood [(2.5±0.6)%] in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus was significantly lower than that in the normal control group [(3.2 ±0.8)%], but the difference was not statistically significant (t=3.412, P=0.698). The number of CD5+B lymphocytes in the high activity group was significantly lower than that in the low activity group (t=7.365, P=0.027)and the normal control group (t=5.649, P=0.002). The number of CD5+ B lymphocytes was negatively correlated with SLEDAI score (r=-0.692, P=0.001) and positively associated with the level of complement 3 (r=0.305, P=0.038), but not with complement 4 and ESR (P>0.05). In addition, the level of serum IL-10 in whether the low activity group (t=1.935, P=0.031) or the high activity group (t=3.048, P=0.012) was all higher than the normal control group. The level of serum IL-10 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus was positively associated with SLEDAI score (r=0.425, P=0.024) and ESR (r=0.479, P=0.008), but was negatively correlated with complement 4 (r=-0.359, P=0.031). Conclusion The total number of lymphocytes in patients with SLE decreases significantly, while B lymphocytes increases significantly. The number of CD5+ B lymphocytes and the serum IL-10 level are also changed. It maybe related to the patient's inflammatory environment, and the number of CD5+B lymphocytes and the serum IL-10 level may be associated with disease activity.

Objective To investigate the potential prognostic factors in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicate by portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) who are treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods The complete clinical data of a total of 46 patients with HCC complicate by PVTT, who were treated with TACE during the period from January 2010 to March 2016, were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical material database was established. Kaplan-Meier test was adopted to analyze the survival rate and the COX risk ratio model was used to screen out the independent prognostic factors. Life table method was employed to calculate the survival time. Results The 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-month survival rates were 51. 2%, 28. 9%, 23. 4% and 10. 2%, respectively. The median survival time was 6. 7 months. According to mRECIST standard, complete remission (CR) was obtained in one patient (2. 1%), partial remission (PR) in 11 patients (23. 9%), stable disease (SD) in 16 patients (34. 8%) and progress disease (PD) in 18 patients (39. 2%). Multivariate analysis indicated that local tumor response, ascites, cholinesterase, and arteriovenous fistula were the independent factors affecting the prognosis. Conclusion The independent prognostic factors that affect the survival time of HCC patient include local tumor response, ascites, cholinesterase and arteriovenous fistula.
