Objective To analyze thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTMC) neck lymph node metastasis (LNM) related factors,and further to explore the diagnostic value of ultrasonography in LNM.Methods A retrospective analysis of 384 cases of patients with PTMC confirmed by pathology and ultrasonic data were performed,according to the presence of cervical lymph node metastasis,they were divided into transfer group (116 cases) and nontransfer group (268 cases).Analysis was made to summarize the clinical and sonographic features of the two groups.Chi-square test and the multi-factor Logistic regression analysis were used to study the risk factors.Results ①The single factor analysis of sonographic features showed that the factors of gender (X 2 = 3.893,P = 0.048),age (P = 0.001),tumor diameter (P = 0.008), boundary(X 2 =6.327,P =0.012),acoustic halo (X2 = 15.562,P =0.001),and place (X 2 =9.441 ,P =0.024) were statistical different between the two groups;②Multiariable Logistic regression analysis showed that:patient age,tumor diameter,and acoustic halo were independent risk factors for PTMC neck lymph node metastasis,if Logistic model was used to predict the probability P =0.50 as a threshold,its accuracy was 74.2%,and the area under the ROC curve was 0.744.Conclusions Patients with age ≤ 45 years, tumor diameter ≥ 0.7 cm,located in the lower pole,boundary with uneven acoustic halo,were prone to LNM,and easy to Ⅵ area,suggest preventive cleaning lymph node in central region.

Background and purpose:Arsenic trioxide(As_(2)O_(3)) injection actually has an effect on solid tumors such as hepatoma in the clinic.In order to find out its mechanism of action,we studied the action of arsenic trioxide injection on angiogenesis of chick embryo chrioallantoic membrane(CAM).Methods:The effect of arsenic trioxide injection on angiogenesis was investigated by CAM model and computer image analysis.Results:Administered at three different concentrations of arsenic trioxide injection at 10,20 and 40,3 days later,the vessel area were 25.66%?4.17%,24.74%?2.54% and 21.51%?6.70%,respectively.Compared to the NS control group(vessel area was 30.68%?(4.64%)),there was an obvious difference(P0.05 among the three different concentration groups).Conclusions:arsenic trioxide injection has a strong inhibitory effect on angiogenesis,which may be used in suppressing cancer angiogenesis.

Objective To study application of the quality management of Blood Cell Analyzer according to the requirement of biological variation determination.Methods Collected the indoor imprecision value(CV％) from 8 items detected by blood cell analyzer during from April to Nov.of 2016,and the bias (Bias％) of 8 items of two EQA (external quality assessment) from the ministry of health in 2016.Then according to the 3 levels of the minium,appropriate and optimal quality specifications derived from the biological variability the rates of imprecision and bias were culculated.The pass rate of the imprecision and bias was calculated.By using mean bias and mean imprecision and biological variation 3 levels of total error (TEa) crite rion,and to calculate the corresponding σ and QGI value,so as to evaluate the performance of whole blood cell analyzer.Then improved the quality.Results For the imprecision value of 8 items,except the MCHC average value,all others were all 100 ％ meeting the appropriate level of quality requirements.For the bias value (Bias ％) from 8 items,except MCH,all others were over 80 ％ meeting the appropriate level of quality requirements.While for the calculated σ value,based on the best level of quality requirements,except the σ value of WBC was 4.6,the σ value of all other items were all＜3.Based on the appropriate level of quality requirements,except the σvalue of MCHC was 1.9,the value of σ of all other items were all＞ 3,and based on the minimal requirements,the σ value of all 8 items were all ＞3.After analysis,this blood cell analyzer,except that MCHC should use the minimal quality standard requirements,all other examination items could used the proper quality standard requirements,and the calculated QGI were all ＜0.8.Conclusion Based on the biological variation determination requirement and calculated σ and QGI value,this method could be used to more accurate quality evaluation of blood cell ana lyzer.Which is a higher levelof quality management,will be more conducive to quality improvement and better serve the clinical.

50 adult male SD rats were divided randomly into 5 groups:A,B,C1 ,C2,C3(n =1 0).The rats in roup A was used as a blank controls.The rats in group B and C were with LPS induced periodontitis,those in group C1 ,C2 and C3 received 0.2 ml of baicalin daily injection(0.01 ,0.1 and 1 .0 μg/ml respectively)into the gingival sulcus of the teeth with periodontitis for 3 days.The rats were sacri-ficed 7 days after treatment and periodontal tissues of the related teeth were observed by histology.In group C1 ,C2 and C3 the periodontal inflammation was significantly slighter than that in group B,the osteoclasts count was as following:B >C1 >C2 >C3 >A(P <0.05).The study suggests that baicalin can inhibit destructive effect of LPS to periodontal tissue of rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of hepatopoietin Cn(HPPCn) on liver stem cells.Methods In this study, WB-F344 cell line was used, and MTT and flow cytometry assay were conducted to determine cell proliferation and apoptosis.Transwell assay was used to test the migration of WB-F344 cells.A 2AAF-partial hepatectomy(PH) mouse model was used to observe the effect of HPPCn on liver stem cell proliferation in vivo.Results HPPCn enhanced WB-F344 cell proliferation and migration and activated the SphK1, Erk and Stat3 signal pathways.The analysis of the 2AAF-PH mouse model showed that oval cells in the experimental group far outnumbered those in control and the regeneration of the liver was improved post PH.Conclusion HPPCn can increase the liver stem cell proliferation and survival while promoting the regenenation of the liver by augmenting oval cell proliferation.

Objective:To explore the relationship among supportive dyadic coping,negative emotions and ma-rital quality in middle-aged and young patients with lymphoma and their spouses.Methods:A total of 243 middle-aged and young patients with lymphoma and their spouses were selected.The Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form(FoP-Q-SF)and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS)anxiety subscale were used to assess the negative emotions of patients and spouses,and the Dyadic Coping Inventory(DCI)and Short Marital Adjust-ment and Prediction Test(MAT)were used to evaluate supportive dyadic coping(SDC)and marital quality.Actor-partner interdependence mediation model was used to analyze the relationship among dyadic coping,negative emo-tions and marital quality.Results:The APIMeM model showed that both the FoP-Q-SF scores in patients and the anxiety scores in spouses had significant actor effects on their own supportive dyadic coping(β=-0.17,-0.29).The anxiety scores in spouses had a significant partner effect on SDC scoresin patients(β=-0.18).Both the SDC scores in patients and spouses had significant actor and partner effects on their own and their partner's MAT scores(β=1.71,1.18,1.17,1.92).The SDC scores in patients and spouses significantly mediated the relationship be-tween FoP-Q-SF scores and MAT scores in patients,with effect sizes of 46％and 13％,respectively.The SDC-scores in patients and spouses also significantly mediated the relationship between anxiety scores and MAT scoresin spouses,with effect sizes of 34％and 27％,respectively.Furthermore,the SDC scores in patients and spouses sig-nificantly mediated the relationship between FoP-Q-SF scores in patients and MAT scores in spouses,with effect si-zes of 57％and 14％,respectively.Conclusion:It suggests that supportive dyadic copingbetween spouses plays a mediating role in the relationship between negative emotions and marital quality.

Objective To study the effects of perinatal and postnatal cytomegalovirus(CMV) infection on infantile physical development and nerves mental growth. Methods We observed forty-eight cases of perinatal and postnatal CMV infection infants and twenty-two cases of non-CMV infected infants. We compared the physical development between two groups at birth ,3 months and 1 year of age, and evaluated development quotient (DQ) at 1 year of age. Results There were no significant differences of baby length,weight, head circumference between two groups at birth and 3 months (P > 0.05). The averages of baby length,weight,and head circumference were all in the normal range,which showed no significant differences between two groups(P > 0. 05). There were no significant differences in DQ of rough movement,accurate movement, adaptability, language and sociality ability between two groups at 1 year of age (P > 0.05). The averages of total DQ were in the normal range, which showed no significant difference between two groups as well (P > 0. 05). According to the evaluation hierarchies, DQ values of two groups were mostly in normal level range, and there also was no significant difference(x2 = 1. 026, P > 0. 05). Conclusion The perinatal and postnatal cytomegalovirus(CMV) infection has no significant adverse effects on infantile physical development and neuro-psychological development.

The stable isotope labeling by amino acids in culture (SILAC) based quantitative proteomics serves as a gold standard because of the high accuracy and throughput for protein identifications and quantification. In this study, we discussed the application of SILAC technology in mammal model, and developed quantitative internal standard for comparative proteomics of disease model. The C57BL/6J mice fed by special diet containing the 13C6-Lysine and bred F2 generation. We identified and analyzed total proteins of 9 mice tissues of F2 generation, including brain, lung, heart, stomach, intestine, liver, spleen, kidney, and muscle. Quantitative analysis information could evaluate the mice and different tissues' labeling efficiency. Liver was the most efficient, brain the least, and the labeling efficiency were 96.34%±0.90% and 92.62%±1.98% respectively. The average of the labeling efficiency of F2 generation was 95.80%±0.64%, which met the international standard (≥ 95%) for SILAC quantitative proteomics effective study. SILAC technology was successfully extended to mammalian model system, which will provide powerful tools for the mechanism study of the pathophysiology process with mouse model.
