Thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) play an important role in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease.Chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) is a new method been strongly recommended in recent years.The definition of positive value of TPOAb is inconsistent.The definition of TPOAb positive value is important for exploring the development of autoimmune thyroid disease.TPOAb is significantly increased in Hashimoto's disease and the titer is associated with the degree of infiltration and destruction of thyroid follicular.It is essential to monitor TPOAb in postpartum thyroiditis and early pregnancy.The positive of TPOAb is closely related to the adverse pregnancy outcomes caused by various risk factors.Graves disease combined with Hashimoto's must to be considered.

AIM:To evaluate the effect of all capsule polishing with polishing mode for decreasing the occurrence of posterior capsular opacification( PCO) .
METHODS: Totally 194 eyes ( 162 patients ) were performed phacoemulsification, posterior chamber intraocular lens were implanted. One hundred eyes were performed with all capsule polishing with polishing mode;94 eyes were performed with the polishing apparatus.
RESULTS:The patients were followed up for 12mo. Six eyes ( 6. 0%) of PCO were found in the 100 eyes with polishing mode group; 15 eyes ( 16. 0%) of PCO were found in the 94 eyes with the polishing apparatus group. The difference was significant (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: It can decrease the occurrence of PCO by performing all capsule polishing with polishing mode.

AIM:To observe and compare clinical effects of coaxial 1. 8mm microincision phacoemulsification and 3. 2mm small incision phacoemulsification.
●METHODS:A total of 117 eyes of 85 patients with age-related cataract in our hospital were divided randomly into two groups:43 patients (59 eyes) in the coaxial 1. 8 mm microincision cataract surgery group ( C - MlCS ) , 42 patients (58 eyes) in the coaxial 3. 2 mm traditional small incision cataract surgery group (C-SlCS). A total of 117 eyes were received phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Uncorrected visual acuity was recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 1, 7, 30 and 90d. The effective phacoemulsification time and average ultrasound energy were recorded in surgery. Corneal endothelial cell and corneal topography were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 90 d.
●RESULTS:Uncorrected visual acuity ( logMAR) was no overall statistical significance difference between C-MlCS group and C-SlCS group (P>0. 05), but was significant statistical difference in different time-point within both groups(P<0. 05). Uncorrected visual acuity in different time-point had nothing to do with corneal wound size in cataract surgery(P>0. 05). On the 1 day after surgery, uncorrected visual acuity was 0. 16±0. 11 in C-MlCS group and 0. 22±0. 18 in C-SlCS group(P<0. 05). AVE was (7. 00± 2.72)% in C-MlCS group and (6. 16±3. 16)% in C-SlCS group (P>0. 05). EPT was (3. 09±1. 61)s in C-MlCS group and (3. 20±1. 92)s in C-SlCS group (P>0. 05). At 90 d after surgery, corneal endothelial cell loss percentage was (5. 81±2. 28)% in C-MlCS group and (5. 69±2. 38)% in C-SlCS group (P>0.05), SlA was (0.35±0.11) Din C-MlCS group and (0. 61±0. 13) D in C-SlCS group (P<0. 05).
● CONCLUSION: Compared with coaxial 3. 2mm traditional small incision cataract surgery, 1. 8mm coaxial microincision cataract surgery can get earlier visual rehabilitation and significantly reduce SlA. The coaxial 1. 8mm microincision cataract surgery is safe, effective and deserves further clinical applications.

ObjectiveTo study the differentiation of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) into cardiomyocytes in vitro. MethodsADMSCs were isolated and purified by the method of digesting and adhering to the culture plastis. The third generation of cells were determined with immunocytochemistry method and induced by 5-aza. On the 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th day after being induced, the surface antigen of myoblast cell and cardiac myocyte were determined, the expression of gene of GATA4 and Nkx2.5 were tested, and the content of atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) assayed. ResultsImmunocytochemical staining showed CD44, CD13, CD105 positive, CD45, CD34, HLA-DR, factor Ⅷ negative. After being induced by 5-aza, the direction of cell arraying was gradually similar. The cells were stained positively for Desmin, α-Sarcomeric Actin, myosin heavy chain and Troponin T. The cells express GATA4 and Nkx2.5 and secrete ANP. ConclusionThere was mesenchymal stem cells in human adipose tissue. 5-aza may induce ADMSCs to differentiate into cardiomyocytes in vitro.

Objective To explore the accuracy and practicability of the three-dimensional ultrasound in real-time intellectual positioning navigation.Methods The phantom was applied in the real-time intellectual positioning guided biopsy of three dimensional ultrasound,free-hand ultrasound-guided biopsy and bracket-guided biopsy with different depths(5 cm,10 cm) and different sizes of the targets (6 mm and 15 mm).The time spent,the length of the sample and the success rate of biopsy were compared among three groups,and statistical analysis was done.Results ①The different sizes of targets with different depths were shown in three kinds of biopsy that the real-time intellectual positioning guided biopsy of three-dimensional ultrasound spent more time than bracket-guided biopsy,less than free hand ultrasound-guided biopsy.The difference was significant (P ＜0.05).The aquired red-dyed sample was longer in the real-time intellectual positioning guided biopsy of three-dimensional ultrasound compared to free-hand ultrasound-guide biopsy and bracket-guided biopsy,the difference was significant (P ＜0.001).②For real-time IP-guided biopsy of three-dimensional ultrasound with same depth,larger size of targets(15 mm) spent less time than smaller saize of targets (6 mm),the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05).However,compared to smaller saize of targets(6 mm),success rate of biopsy in larger size of targets(15 mm) had no significant difference (P =0.238 at depth of 5 cm,P =0.479 at depth of 10 cm).③For real-time intellectual positioning guided biopsy of three-dimensional ultrasound with same size,time spent was less in the targets at the depth of 5 cm than in the targets at the depth of 10 cm,the difference was significant (P＜0.05).The aquired red-dyed sample was longer in the targets at the depth of 5 cm than in the targets at the depth of 10 cm,and success rate of biopsy in the targets at the depth of 5 cm was higher too (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The real-time intellectual positioning guided biopsy of three dimensional ultrasound spend less time with high accuracy and success rate of biopsy,especially for smaller and deeper targets,can be clinically applied with accuracy and practicability.

The specific ScFv gene against botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNTa)was cloned into pPIC9k. Positive integrators were screened by increasing the dose of G418 in culture and expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. As a result, engineered recombinant clone were obtained. 26 kD product of interest was seen easily in SDS-PAGE. Expression of human ScFv got the highest level 15% of total secreted proteins during 72～84 h after 1% methanol inducing. Purification of ScFv was finished by two steps: gel filter and ion exchange. Competing ELISA showed that recombinant ScFv could compete with antiserum to specific bind BoNTa.

Objective To analyse the characteristics of fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA)of iatrogenic retinal vascular occlu- sion.Design Retrospective case series.Participants 9 eyes of 9 patients with iatrogenic retinal vascular occlusion and 16 eyes of 16 patients with non-iatrogenic retinal vascular occlusion in Beijing Tongren Hospital in 2002-2005.Methods All patients were examined with FFA.The difference of circulation time of retinal vessels both in iatrogenic and non-iatrogenic retinal vascular occlusion patients was compared.Main Outcome Measures The starting perfusion time and the finishing time of retinal artery or vein.Results In pa- tients with iatrogenic(4 cases)and non-iatrogenic(12 cases)central retinal artery occlusion,the finishing perfusion time was separately 79.33?87.04s and 19.20?4.61s; the finishing time of retinal vein was separately 128.07?149.11s and 33.16?15.34s.In iatrogenic(4 cas- es)and non-iatrogenic(4 cases)central retinal artery together with central retinal vein occlusion patients,the finishing perfusion time of retinal artery was separately 211.67?371.26s and 30.07?17.26s;the finishing perfusion time of retinal vein was 232.43?358.52s and 48. 81?11.64s.One patient was ocular artery occlusion.FFA showed that choroidal background fluorescence and central artery were perfused slowly,the vascular fluorescence perfusion was interrupted before it came out of optic disk and the perfusion interruption continued until late stage with extensive peripheral non-perfusion areas.Conclusion The perfusion time of the retinal artery and vein in iatrogenic reti- nal vascular occlusion may be much longer than that in non-iatrogenic retinal vascular occlusion.

Syndrome and formulae (or prescription) are two key issues in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and the premise research for material basis of TCM. However, vagueness of syndromes and complexity of formulae greatly limited the evaluation to syndromes and effective substance basis of prescription. Therefore, how to solve the evaluation of syndromes, confirming the efficacy material basis in prescription are the current hot issues of international concern. To solve these problems, establishing chinmedomics by integrated serum pharmacochemistry of TCM with metabolomics technology, that is a unique method of TCM research, made outstanding contributions in solving international concerns such as the effectiveness and security aspects of TCM. On the basis of the biological characterization of syndrome, the metabolic profiling of animal models of TCM syndrome, and related metabolic fingerprints as well as metabolic biomarkers were established to evaluate the overall effects of TCM formulae and corresponding relationship of syndrome-formulae. The active constituents were screened using the plotting of correlation between (endogenous) marker metabolites and (exogenous) serum constituents (PCMS), and is ongoing verification by further biological experiments. Correlation analysis between the ingredients in the body after oral formulae and endogenous markers in vivo can be used to clarify the active ingredients and synergistic properties. This method was successfully applied for rapid discovery of potentially bioactive components and metabolites from TCM, and through a series of studies on the chinmedomics, it proved that the established method could help to explore the effective substance for further research of TCM. As a new research approach, Chinmedomics is the best method to fit the holistic concept of TCM, and it can not only interpret the essence of syndrome but also elucidate the scientific connotation of Chinese medical formulae.
