Objective To develop a rapid PCR fingerprinting for discriminating between Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis isolates. Methods Genomic DNA purified from the two species was amplified by single primer PCR. Oligonucleotide of the minisatellite-specific core sequence of the wild-type phage M13 (5′-GAGGGTGGCGGTTCT-3′) was used as primer and the amplified products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis and microfluidic DNA chip assays. Results Of 17 candida isolates, the PCR fingerprinting generated five strain-specific bands for C. albicans and C. dubliniensis respectively, allowing identification to species level between them. The other bands were minor different in their species. By microfluidic DNA chip, the DNA fragments in size of amplified products for the C. dubliniensis were 960,1177,1297,1495,1797 bp and for the C. albicans 653,1323,1531,2021,2875 bp. Conclusions C. albicans and C. dubliniensis have distinguishable pattern by PCR fingerprinting using the single primer. The microfluidic DNA chip is proposed here as a simple, rapid and highly reproducible tool, especially for the epidemiological investigation.

Objective To explore the common factors' influence on serum gastrin level,and reveal the value of serum gastrin in the diagnosis of gastric precancerous lesions and gastric cancers.Methods Serum gastrin level of 3 906 serum samples was detected by ELISA.Results Serum gastrin level of patients over 60 years old was distinctively higher than that of other age groups.Serum gastrin level in antral diseases was higher than that in diseases of the body.HP positive group was higher than the negative one.The level progressingly increased from normal group to superficial gastritis and to gastric erosion or ulcer;and it decreased from gastric erosion or ulcer to atrophic gastritis,while it increased from atrophic gastritis to dysplasia,and it decreased from dysplasia to gastric cancer.Serum gastrin level was distinctively lower in gastric cancer than in other groups.Conclusion For people over 60 years old,their serum gastrin level has the tendence to increase.The location of gastric disease is an important factor affecting serum gastrin level.HP can increase the serum gastrin level.During gastric precancerous stage,the serum gastrin level may gradually increase with the diseases' progression,and decrease when gastric cancer is formed.Serum gastrin is a good marker to differentiate benign and malignant gastric diseases.

Objective To study the effect of Yiqi Huoxue Tablets on blood coagulation and fibrinolysis system of rats with cerebral apoplexy induced by artificial cold wave. Methods SD rats were randomized into 4 groups. The apoplexy-prone renovascular hypertensive rat model was established by the bilateral renal arteries clamping method. From the 14th day after the modeling operation, the treatment group was given Yiqi Huoxue Tablets (1.89 g·kg-1·d-1), the positive control group was given aspirin (80 mg·kg-1·d-1), and the model group and the blank group were given the same volume of distilled water, once a day. After 112 days, the rats were put into the artificial cold wave box staying for 3 days to inducing apoplexy, and then thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) and protein C ( PC) , thrombin-antithrombin complexes ( TAT) and plasmin-antiplasmin ( PAP) levels were measured. Results The plasma levels of TAFI, PC, TAT, and PAP in Yiqi Huoxue Tablets group were lower than the model group, the difference being statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusion The preventive and therapeutic mechanism of Yiqi Huoxue Tablets for cerebral apoplexy is probably related with the regulation of the balance between blood coagulation and fibrinolytic system of apoplexy-prone renovascular hypertensive rats.

Objective To assess the efficacy,side effects and perinatal outcome of nifedipine compared with other antihypertensives for treating severe preeclampsia in pregnant women. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that comparing nifedipine with other antihypertensives for severe preeclampsia were searched in PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane library,CNKI and VIP database etc( till January 2012).The quality of the included RCTs was evaluated,and Meta-analvsis was performed with Rev Man 5.1software.Results Nine trials were included,involving 386 women in the nifedipine group,and 378 women in other antihypertensives group.Compared with other antihypertensives,nifidepine was associated with greater effective control of blood pressure ( OR =2.65,95％ CI:1.65 -4.25,P ＜0.01 ).There was no clear difference in the time needed to control blood pressure ( W.M D =- 3.64,95％ CI:- 10.90 - 3.61,P =0.32 ).Nifedipine could prolong gestation better than other antihypertensives ( WMD =5.14,95％ CI:3.29-6.99,P ＜0.01 ).There were no clear differences in maternal side effects headache (P =0.28),palpitation ( P =0.06 ),and nausea vomiting ( P =0.28 ).No noticeable difference was found between the two groups in the Apgar score at five minutes ( WMD =- 0.21,95％ CI:- 0.32 - 0.91,P =0.72),neonatal respiratory distress syndrome ( OR =1.24,95％ CI:0.57 - 2.67,P =0.59 ),or perinatal deaths ( OR =0.49,95％ CI:0.22 - 1.11,P =0.09 ).Conclusion Nifedipine is associated with greater effective control of blood pressure and prolongation of gestation,with no additional neonatal respiratory distress syndrome or perinatal deaths,compared with other antihypertensives for women with severe preeclampsia.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of cardiovascular risk factors in coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.Methods A total of 400 patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital was divided into multiple vascular lesion group,single vascular lesions group,and non-CAD group according to the result of CAG and their clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.The correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery lesions was analyzed,and the independent risk factor of CAD was screened by multi-factorial logistic regression analysis.Results There was significant difference in total cholesterol (TC),triglycerides (TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC),fasting blood glucose (FBG),inflammatory cells,carotid artery plaque,brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) between the CAD group and the non-CAD group (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The number of coronary artery lesion branch was increased significantly when risk factors,such as age,body mass index(BMI),hypertension,diabetes mellitas,smoking,carotid artery plaque,TG,TC,low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),FBG,WBC,monocytes (M),neutrophils (N),neutrophils/lymphocytes (N/L),baPWV,and Hs-CRP.Other risk factors including TC,HDL-C,L were decreased with a statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant relation among,and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)％.The most significant risk factor was carotid artery plaque that was independently associated with coronary heart disease (b =1.264,P ＜ 0.01),followed by smoking (b =1.204,P ＜0.01),HDL-C (b =1.104,P ＜0.01),TC (b =1.082,P ＜0.01) diabetes mellitus (b =0.956,P ＜0.01),baPWV increased (b =0.741,P ＜0.01),WBC (b=0.721,P ＜0.01),hypertension (b =0.602,P ＜0.01),the age (b =0.538,P ＜0.01),and HsCRP(b =0.421,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The results suggest that the hypertension,hyperlipidemia,smoking,age,baPWV,inflammatory cells,Hs-CRP,and carotid artery plaque was a significant independent CHD risk factors.

Objective To analyze the molecular cytogenetic abnormalities and pathogenesis of pediatric Burkitt lymphoma (BL) by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH).Methods First,immunophenotype,molecular genetics and EB virus (EBV) infection status were detected using immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization in 21 pediatric BL patients.Second,in addition to detecting genome-wide genetic gain/deletion status,aCGH results with EBV infection status were also correlated.Results aCGH results showed genetic alterations in 19 cases (90.5 ％).Generally,frequency of chromosomal gain was higher than chromosomal deletion.The regions of frequently-occurring small DNA genomic fragment gains (≥40 ％ cases) were 3q21.1,5p13.2,19q13.32,12q23.1,14q32.33,6q27,20p13 and 20p11.21.Large DNA fragment gains and deletions could be detected in 42.9 ％ (9/21) cases in the 14q24.2 and 14q32.33 regions.There was no significant difference in genetic alterations between EBV (+) and EBV (-) BL cases (P≥0.05).Conclusion aCGH results show that BL cases have complex genetic alterations,which have no significant difference between EBV(+) and EBV(-) cases.Most BL cases show large DNA segment deletion or acquisition of 14q,indicating that 14q gene alteration plays an important role in the pathogenesis of BL.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and adverse effect caused by capecitabine compared with S-1 as maintenance treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Methods A total of 123 AGC patients who did not suffer disease progression after first-line chemotherapy were randomized into three groups. The capecitabine group(Cap)received maintenance chemotherapy with capecitabine(1000 mg/m2 twice daily for 14 days,21 days/cycle),and the S-1 group(S1)received S-1(40,50,or 60 mg according to the body surface area and orally administered twice a day for 14 days ,21 days/cycle). The observation group was given the support-ive treatment. Patients kept this chemotherapy regimens until disease progressed or with intolerant toxicity. Re-sults The disease control rate was 70.7%in the Cap group and 80.5%in the S1 group(P=0.304). The median time of progression was 8.3 months in the Cap group and 8.5 months in the S1 group(P = 0.448). Maintenance chemotherapy groups showed better responses in the treatment group than the observation group ,which demonstrat-ed a median progression of 6.7 months(P<0.001). The median overall survival time was 15.3 months in the Cap group and 15.7 months in the S1 group(P = 0.637). Maintenance chemotherapy groups showed better responses than the observation group ,which demonstrated a median survival of 12.8 months (P < 0.05). The main side effects included hyperpigmentation,bone marrow suppression,nausea and vomiting and hand-foot syndrome. No death occurred in relation to the therapy. Conclusion The effectiveness of capecitabine and S-1 as maintenance chemotherapy in AGC patients after the first-line chemotherapy are similar,and both can prolong the time of overall survival. And the adverse reactions can be tolerated.
