Objective To investigate clinical significance of soluble CD30/CD30L and CD40/CD40L system imbalance in ovarian serous tumors.Methods 40 patients of serous cystadenoma and 30 patients of serous cystadenocarcinoma were selected,and 40 age-and weight-matched healthy women were also recruited as the control group.Peripheral venous blood (3 ml) of the healthy control and patients with ovarian serous tumors before surgery and 7 days after surgery were collected.After separation of serum,ELISA was used to detect levels of sCD30,sCD30L,sCD40 and sCD40L.Results Compared to the control group,levels of sCD30,sCD30L,sCD40 and sCD40L in both serous cystadenoma and serous cystadenocarcinoma groups were significantly in creased (P＜0.05).And in those serous cystadenocarcinoma group,levels of such soluble proteins were much higher than in serous cystadenoma group (P＜0.05).7 days after surgery,levels of such soluble proteins were significantly decreased in both serous cystadenoma and serous cystadenocarcinoma groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Detection of serum sCD30/sCD30L and sCD40/sCD40L is possible to have a certain guiding significance to early diagnosis of ovarian tumors and the prognosis of patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and diagnostic value of NT-proBNP and homocysteine (Hcy) levels in the serum of elderly depression with chronic heart failure. Methods The clinical diagnosis of depression in the elderly patients with chronic heart failure (NYHAⅠ-Ⅳ grade)80 cases (group A)and 50 cases of healthy subjects(group B), NT-proBNP and Hcy levels were detected. Well which were detected in group A,comparative analysis of results before and after conventional therapy. Results The levels of NT-proBNP(u=9.55) and Hcy (u=9.24) was significantly higher in group A than those in group B, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). And the levels of NT-proBNP (u=4.83)and Hcy (u=7.65)were significantly lower in group A after treatment than those of before treatment,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01). Conclusion NT-proBNP and Hcy joint detection can help diagnose depression in the elderly patients with chronic heart failure,and as a short-term effect evaluation.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum thyroglobulin antibody (TG-Ab) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-Ab) cconcentrations and arteriosclerosis development in middle-aged and older adult patients with depression.Methods:A total of 200 middle-aged and older adult patients with depression who received treatment in the Third People's Hospital of Huzhou from January 2018 to October 2019 were included in this study. They were divided into four groups ( n = 50/group) according to TG-Ab and TPO-Ab test results: TG-Ab-positive (group 1), TPO-Ab-positive (group 2), TG-Ab-positive and TPO-Ab-positive (group 3), TG-Ab-negative and TPO-Ab-negative (control group). Serum thyroid hormone level, ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, and the incidences of intima-media thickening and plaque formation in the lower extremity arteries were compared between groups. Results:Total thyroxine concentration in the control group, groups 1, 2 and 3 was (89.96 ± 2.45) nmol/L, (101.29 ± 3.35) nmol/L, (90.09 ± 2.70) nmol/L, (97.55 ± 2.57) nmol/L, respectively. There was a significant difference in total thyroxine concentration between groups ( F = 3.85, P < 0.05). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in the control group, groups 1, 2, and 3 was (1 327.55 ± 67.78) cm/s, (1 510.36 ± 83.05) cm/s, (1 422.71 ± 71.40) cm/s, (1 533.95 ± 87.01) cm/s, respectively. There was a significant difference in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity between groups ( F = 65.12, P < 0.05). The incidence of intima-media thickening in the control group, groups 1, 2, and 3 was 18% (9/50), 50% (25/50), 32% (16/50), 60% (30/50), respectively. The incidence of plaque formation in the control group, groups 1, 2, and 3 was 22% (11/50), 56% (28/50), 40% (20/50), 70% (35/50), respectively. There were significant differences in intima-media thickening and plaque formation between groups ( χ2 = 21.83, 25.77, all P < 0.001). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that age ( OR = 0.953) and TG-Ab ( OR = 1.116) were independent risk factors for developing arteriosclerosis in middle-aged and older adult patients with depression ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:TG-Ab-positive results are an independent risk factor for developing arteriosclerosis in middle-aged and older adult patients with depression. TPO-Ab-positive results have a synergistic effect on the occurrence and development of arteriosclerosis in middle-aged and older adult patients with depression. Monitoring serum TG-Ab and TPO-Ab concentrations is of great clinical significance for the prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis in middle-aged and older adult patients with depression.
