Objective To compare serum protein fingerprint among Uygur patients with thyroid cancer and benign thyroid nodules, and Han patients with thyroid cancer, and to screen ethnic-specific protein markers of thyroid cancer. Methods Using the technology of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), the protein expression profiles of Uygur and Han patients with thyroid cancer and Uygur patients with thyroid nodules were established and compared by image analysis software between two groups. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry coupling techniques ( LC-MS/MS) were used to identify differential protein. The protein′s name, cellular localization and functional classification were searched in Swissport database. Results There are 11 differentially expressed proteins by comparison of sera in Uygur patients with benign thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, in which complement C3 and C4b levels were down-regulated in the serums of Uygur patients with benign thyroid nodules, and 9 proteins such as heme-binding proteins etc were up-regulated. There are 7 differentially expressed proteins by comparison of serums in Uygur and Han patients with thyroid cancer, in which transferrin level was up-regulated in the serum of Uygur patients with thyroid cancer, and 6 proteins such as cytokeratin-1 etc were down-regulated in serum of Uygur patients with thyroid cancer. Conclusion Combined screening of multiple labelled proteins including heme-binding protein,α2-macroglobulin, and transferrin protein etc may provide the basis for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer in Uygurs and Hans.

Objective To study the feasibility of re-operation of gynecological laparoscopy.Methods Clinical records of 47 patients with gynecological diseases undergoing a re-laparoscopy from December 1995 December 2003 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The re-operations of laparoscopy were successfully accomplished in 46 patients(97.9%) while a conversion to open surgery was required in 1 patient.The re-operation time was 30~80 min(mean,50 min),and the in-hospital stay was 2.5~5 days(mean,3.5 days).No long-term complications were noted in 44 patients on a postoperative follow-up for(1~4) years.Out of 19 patients with infertility, 1 patient had a natural pregnancy and 6 patients were pregnant with the help of artificial reproductive techniques.Supportive medical treatment had been given in patients with endometriosis postoperatively,3 of whom experienced symptomatic improvements and 1 of whom had a natural pregnancy.Conclusions For patients with a history of laparoscopy,a re-operation of gynecological laparoscopy is safe and feasible.

Objective To develop a sensitive, specific, rapid and easy method for detecting E. coli O157 : H7 and other Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in food and clinical specimens. Methods A circular probe and capture probe specific for Shiga toxin-2 (stx2) gene had been synthesized and was used for determining the sensitivity of ramification amplification method (RAM). Different serotypes which contained stx2 gene, including an E. coli O157 : H7, an E. coli O46 : H38, an E. coli O111 : NM, an E. coli O22 : H8 and E. coli ATCC23716 (stx2 gene negative) were used for determining the specificity. All strains were detected by RAM to determine whether they contained stx2 gene. Real-time RAM was further studied to detect stx2 gene. Results The lowest number targets detected by RAM assay was 10 copies of stx2, indicating that RAM assay was as sensitive as conventional PCR. The result of specificity showed that different serotypes of strains were all positive for stx2 gene, while nonpathogenic E. coli ATCC23716 was negative. Among 32 isolates, 28 STEC isolates containing stx2 gene were positive by RAM assay, while others were negative. The RAM results were 100% in concordance with that of PCR. The real-time RAM results also showed that as many as 10 bacteria can be detected and the time of appearance of detectable signal was depended on the target concentration. Conclusion RAM assay can offer an alternative method for PCR to detect E. coli O157 : H7 and STEC in all types of specimens because of its simplicity and isothermal amplification.

Objective To investigate the relationship of nerve growth factor (NGF) between serum and follicular fluid in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and its effect on pregnancy outcomes. Methods From December 2011 to November 2012, 65 PCOS patients suffered with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) were included in PCOS group and 31 non-PCOS patients with IVF-ET were used as control group. The expressions of NGF in serum and follicular fluid were detected by ELISA on the injection day of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). The expression levels of NGF in serum and follicular fluid were compared between PCOS group and control group. Results The NGF levels in serum[(14.38±0.42) ng/L] and follicular fluid[(9.61±0.49)ng/L] were significantly higher in PCOS group than those of control group[(11.39±0.38) ng/L and (7.55 ± 0.40)ng/L]. In PCOS group, NGF levels in serum [(14.22 ± 0.35)ng/L] and follicular fluid [(9.30 ± 0.31)ng/L] were significantly lower in pregnant group than those of non-pregnant group[(14.51±0.43)ng/L, (9.86±0.46)ng/L, P<0.01]. Conclusion The increased levels of NGF in serum and follicular fluid of PCOS patients contribute to the pathogenesis of PCOS. The high expression of NGF in serum and follicular fluid may be harmful to pregnancy in PCOS patients.
