International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(24):3360-3361,3363
Objective To investigate the predictive value of C-reactive protein(CRP)and serum calcium in the patients with acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods 85 cases of AP in our hospital from January to December 2013 were selected as the study subjects,in-cluding 40 cases of mild acute pancreatitis(MAP)and 45 cases of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).40 cases of normal volunteers were selected as the control group.The levels of serum calcium and CRP were detected in the three groups by the automatic bio-chemical analyzer and turbidimetric immunoassay.Results The levels of serum calcium in the MAP and SAP groups was on the low side and significantly lower than that in the control group,but which in the MAP group were higher than that in the SAP group,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).The level of serum CRP in the MAP group and SAP group was high-er than that in the control group,and which in the SAP group was higher than that in the MAP group,the difference was statistical-ly significant(P <0.05).The level of serum calcium on the third after admission in the MAP and SAP groups was significantlyin-creased compared with the day of admission(P <0.05),but the levels of CRP in the MAP and SAP groups were significantly de-creased,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).The CRP detection was more in clinic,but the experiment indicating that simultaneous detection of serum CRP and calcium could significantly increase the accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of clinical judgement,the difference had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Serum calcium and CRP can be used as the predictive indexes for the condition progression and prognosis of acute pancreatitis and their joint examination can improve the sensitivity,spe-cificity and accuracy of the detection.

Objective: To express glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) modified Met- RANTES fusion protein on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and to develop a novel immunosuppressant GPI anchored form of Met-RANTES. Methods: The eukaryotic expression vector PEF/GPI-Met-RANTES were constructed and transfected into CHO cells by electroporation. The transfectants were selected with methotrexate (MTX). Expression of the recombinant protein was assessed by flow cytometric analysis, cell immunofluorescence staining and immunogold electron microscopy. Results: The chimeric molecules of GPI anchored form of Met-RANTES including the whole reading frame were constructed, and the sequence was identical to the designed sequence. GPI anchored form of Met-RANTES was stably expressed on CHO- DHFR- cells. Conclusion: A large amount of GPI modified Met-RANTES fusion protein was expressed on CHO cells. GPI anchored form of Met-RANTES may be used as novel immunosuppressant for suppressing reaction in graft rejection.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to construct a three-dimensional finite element model of a maxillary anterior teeth retraction force system in light wire technique and to investigate the difference of hydrostatic pressure and initial displacement of upper anterior teeth under different torque values of tip back bend.
METHODSA geometric three-dimensional model of the maxillary bone, including all the upper teeth, was achieved via CT scan. To construct the force model system, lingual brackets and wire were constructed by using the Solidworks. Brackets software, and wire were assembled to the teeth. ANASYS was used to calculate the hydrostatic pressure and the initial displacement of maxillary anterior teeth under different tip-back bend moments of 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 Nmm when the class II elastic force was 0.556 N.
RESULTSHydrostatic pressure was concentrated in the root apices and cervical margin of upper anterior teeth. Distal tipping and relative intrusive displacement were observed. The hydrostatic pressure and initial displacement of upper canine were greater than in the central and lateral incisors. This hydrostatic pressure and initial intrusive displacement increased with an increase in tip-back bend moment.
CONCLUSIONLingual retraction force system of maxillary anterior teeth in light wire technique can be applied safely and controllably. The type and quantity of teeth movement can be controlled by the alteration of tip-back bend moment.
