Objective To investigate the relationship of the serum anti-lysosome associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2) antibody levels and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-associated glomerulonephritis.Methods Thirty-three patients with new onset ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and thirty healthy controls were enrolled.ANCA detection was performed using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect myeloperoxidase (MPO),proteinase-3 (PR3) and other ANCA-associated antibodies including LAMP-2.The cut-off value of the serum anti-LAMP-2 antibody was determined by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The serum levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody in new onset ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients were significantly higher than remission stage ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients and healthy controls (P ＜ 0.05).The serum levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody showed no visible difference between the remission ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis patients and healthy controls (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of anti-LAMP-2 antibody showed a strong positive correlation with ESR,Scr,BUN,proteinuria,crescent proportion and Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) and a negative correlation with Ccr,Hb and Alb.Conclusions Anti-LAMP-2 antibody is correlated with the activity of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis and the severity of renal damage.It may be a useful indicator on the activity of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of five regimens of antibacterial drug therapy in the treatment of community acquired pneumonia. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted, in which a total of 128 cases with pneumonia were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive each of the following 5 therapies,cefoperazone sodium/ sulbactam sodium(Group A),levofloxacin(Group B),amoxicillin/ clavulanate potassium(Group C),azithromycin plus ceftazidime(Group D),and cefoxitin(Group E),the therapeutic effects were monitored and the cost-effectiveness analyses were conducted on the five groups. RESULTS: The costs of the five regimens were 2 137.0 yuan, 1 393.0 yuan, 1 152.5yuan, 2 044.2 yuan and 1 827.0 yuan, respectively;The effective rates were 85.2%, 86.6%, 80.6%, 89.6% and 78.5%, respectively;The cost-effectiveness ratios were 25.08 , 16.09, 14.30, 22.82 and 23.27, respectively; As compared with group C, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of the other four groups were 214.02,40.08, 99.08 and —321.19, respectively. CONCLUSION: The therapy of amoxicillin/ potassium clavulanate is superior to the other regimes in the treatment of community acquired pneumonia.

Objective To conduct prospective randomized controlled clinical observation on patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma under chemotherapy and radiotherapy using inhaling therapy with recombinant human interleukin 11,and the preventing and curing effect of recombinant human interleukin 11 on radiation-induced pharyngitis is evaluated.Methods 161 cases of newly diagnosed patients with head and neck cancer were selected under the principle of informed consent and these 161 cases were divided into the observation group (87 cases) and the control group (74 cases) based on randomization principle.In the observation group,when the dose reached 20Gy,then recombinant human interleukin-11 inhaling therapy was applied `ll the end of radiotherapy,for the control group,conventional treatment was applied in the event of radioactive throat.RTOG criteria were used during the observation in patients with the occurrence and treatment of radioactive pharyngitis.Results When compared with the control group,the average time for radioactivity to appear was prolonged,the severity decreased and the healing time was shortened in the observation group,those data were statistically significant.Conclusions Recombinant human interleukin-11 inhaling therapy can prevent and cure inhalation of radioactive pharyngitis and this therapy is better than conventional treatment.It's worthy of further study and clinical application.

Autophagy is a crucial biological process of eukaryotes, which is involved in cell growth, survival and energy metabolism, while the premise of the autophagy function is activated autophagic flux. It has been confirmed that impaired autophagic flux promotes pathogenesis of many chronic inflammatory diseases, especially cancer, neurodegenerative disease and tissue fibrosis, therefore the analysis of autophagic flux state is important for revealing autophagy function and the mechanism of autophagy related diseases. Given that autophagy is a dynamic process with multiple steps, it is very hard to observe the real state of autophagic flux. Summarized here is the novel concept and current approach to detect autophagic flux. This knowledge is crucial for the researching of the biological function of autophagy, and may provide some strategies for developing autophagy-related drug.

Objective To investigate the effects among social mature,mental health and marriage quality of pilot's couples. Methods SCL-90,EPQ and ENRICH were conducted in 288 of pilot's couples. Correlation,regression were analyzed with SPSS 15.0 software. Results The marriage quality of pilot was significantly affected by the social mature and mental health of pilot himself(β=0.203,-0.274,P<0.001);meanwhile the marriage quality of pilot's wife was significantly affected by the mental health of pilot's couples(β=-0.276,-0.185,P<0.01). Conclusion The social mature and mental health of pilot's couples has a great influence in their marriage quality,so the social mature and mental health of pilot's couples should be taken into the system of the psychological counseling and therapy for pilots.

Objective To investigate the genes differentially expressed in prostate cancer and to determine some prostate cancer associated genes for diagnosis and treatment prostate cancer. Methods cDNA microarray chips containing 4 366 human genes in full length were used to investigate the differential gene expression patterns of samples from human prostatie cancers and normal prostate tissues. Results A total of 287 genes differentially expressed with prostatie cancers and normal prostate were screened out,comprising 165 unknown genes and 122 known genes.Among the known genes we further identified 56 genes which were markedly differentially expressed (20 up-regulated and 36 down-regulated genes). Conclusions cDNA microarray chips for analysis of genes expression patterns is a powerful method for identification of novel prostatie cancer associated genes.

Objective To evaluate the role of differentially expressed genes in human prostate carcinoma initiation and progression. Methods cDNA microarray chips which consist of a set of 4366 human genes were used to investigate the gene expression pattern of samples from human prostate cancer and normal prostate tissues. Results Of 4366 genes,287 genes differentially expressed in prostate carcinoma and normal prostate tissues were screened out,including 165 unknown genes and 122 known genes. Among the 122 known genes we further identified 20 up-regulated and 36 down-regulated genes. Conclusions Our results suggest that significantly differential expression of genes may be associated with the pathogenesis and progression of the prostate cancer.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect and complication of external beam radiotherapy (EBR) plus intracavitary brachytherapy (IB) on nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods 52 patients with stage T 1,T 2 NPC were divided into two groups, 26 patients treated by EBR and the other 26 patients treated by EBR plus IB (combined radiotherapy group). IB was given to the patients of combined radiotherapy group when the external radiotherapy dose amounted to 40Gy,50Gy and 60Gy, respectively. Results The 3-year local control rates of combined radiotherapy group and EBR group were 100% and 73.08%, respectively (P0.05). Conclusions External beam radiotherapy combined with intacavitary brachytherapy for stage T 1, T 2 NPC may rise the local control rates, and reduce the exteral beam radiation dose and the complication.
