ConclusionThe index of LAP and ASTm are valuable markers for diagnosing of acute hepatitis;The index of ADA, ASTm and CHE are valuable marker for diagnosing of liver cirrhosis;The index of ASTm, CHE, AFU and GLDH are valuable marker for diagnosing of severe hepatitis, and AFU and LAP are valuable markers for diagnosing of hepatocellular carcinoma.
2.Abnormal Autophagy in Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2015;(11):683-686
Inflammatory bowel disease( IBD)is a chronic and nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease caused by multiple factors such as environment,genetic susceptibility and immune disturbance. Autophagy plays an important role in cellular homeostasis and immune. Autophagy abnormalities may be involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. Genome-wide association studies(GWAS)have provided compelling evidence that autophagy related genes,including ATG16L1,IRGM and NOD2,are significantly associated with IBD. This article reviewed the abnormal autophagy in pathogenesis of IBD.

Objective To explore the value of combined determination of serum hepatic fibrosis index for evaluation on the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B(HBV).Methods 275 patients with HBV were selected as chronic hepatitis group,which were divided into the mild chronic hepatitis group(75 cases),chronic moderate hepatitis group (72 cases),chronic severe hepatitis group (65 cases),liver cirrhosis group (63 cases) according to the severity of disease.In addition,50 healthy population were selected as the healthy control group.The four liver fibrosis indicators included serum hyaluronic acid(HA),laminin (LN),collagen type Ⅲ (PC Ⅲ),type IV collagen(IV-C) were determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay and compared among the groups,and the diagnostic results of combined different indicators were compared.Results The indexes of HA,PC Ⅲ,IV-C,LN were significantly higher than those of the healthy control group (t =2.567,2.687,2.811,2.741,all P < 0.01).The hepatic fibrosis indexes were increased by with the severity and duration increased gradually (t =2.665,2.787,2.755,2.811,all P < 0.01).The concentration-time curves area (AUC) of PC Ⅲ,Ⅳ-C,LN,HA were 0.680,0.825,0.716,0.826,respectively.Diagnosis value of three combination indicators in HA + PC Ⅲl + Ⅳ-C was highest.Conclusion The chemiluminescence dynamic detection of four liver fibrosis indicators is a good non-invasive detection method for guiding clinical diagnosis on the degree of liver fibrosis.

Objective To observe the effect of application in canicular days on the quality of life and immune substances in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR), and its therapeutic efficacy for AR. Method Sixty-four AR patients were divided into a treatment group of 34 cases and a control group of 30 cases by using the random number table. The treatment group was intervened by acupoint application in canicular days, while the control group was by placebo adhered to the same points. The Short-Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36) and Self-rating Rhinitis Scale (RS) were evaluated before and after the intervention; the serum total immunoglobulin E (T-IgE) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) were detected before and after each treatment session, and the changes of the parameters were compared. Result The global scores of SF-36 and RS, and the level of serum ECP were significantly changed after intervention (P<0.05); there was no significant change in serum T-IgE after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Application in canicular days can promote the quality of life, improve rhinitis symptoms, and down-regulate the level of serum ECP, indicating that application in canicular days can produce a satisfactory efficacy in treating allergic rhinitis.

Objective: To develop a quality of life instrument for hepatitis B patients(QOL-HBV) and examine it's reliability and validity.Methods:The item analysis, construct validity, content validity, criteria validity, reliability and discriminate were assessed by a survey on 134 HBV patients with QOL-HBV.Results:Item analysis showed that QOL-HBV had satisfactory item discrimination. Eight common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis and they can be reduced to three domains. The ?2/DF was 1.310, GFI was 0.972 and AGFI was 0.967 by the confirmatory factor analysis. The coefficients of Cronbach's ? of the instrument and all domains were above 0.80. In comparison with SF-36, there was good correlation among corresponding domains.Conclusion:QOL-HBV is a good scale in testing the quality of life, which has good reliability and validity.

Objective To explore the impact and mechanism of miR-200 b on intestinal epithelial tight junction. Methods The negative-lentivirus and human-miR-200 b-lentivirus were employed to infect the Caco-2 cell thus establishing two stable cell lines which were then stimulated by 10 ng/mL human tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) to establish the model of the intestinal epithelial injury. Those Caco-2 cells were divided into NC, NC+TNF-α, 200b, and 200b+TNF-αgroups.The tight junction permeability was detected by transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextran (FITC-dextran). The protein alterations myosin light chain kinase (MLCK)/phosphorylated myosin light chain (P-MLC) pathways were measured by Western blot analysis. Results Compared to NC group, NC+TNF-αgroup had lower TEER, higher FITC-dextran, and up-regulated expressions of MLCK and P-MLC proteins (P0 . 05 ). Compared to NC+TNF-αgroup, 200 b+TNF-αgroup had higher TEER, lower FITC-dextran and down-regulated expressions of MLCK and P-MLC proteins (P<0 . 05 ). Conclusion miR-200 b ameliorated TNF-α-induced intestinal epithelial tight junction disruption via regulation MLCK/P-MLC pathway.
