1.Interpretation of the third universal definition of myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2013;(6):485-488
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide.The definition of myocardial infarction has been updated.Released in 2012,Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction of ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF Expert Consensus,made the clinical application value of troponin clear and suggested to monitor the dynamic changes of cTn in patients with suspected,emphasized the importance of clinical differential diagnosis.In consensus,it also noted that the application of high sensitive troponin can lead to false positives results,and pointeds out that in the assessment of cardiac injury associated with percutaneous or surgical coronary procedures,the rational cut-off value of cTn remains controversival.In addition to acute coronary syndrome,cTn elevations are common in many disease states,and with the improvement of detection sensitivity,low level increase of cTn,will be more.In acute and chronic heart failure,the cTn is elevated,and ACS may be the cause of worsening heart failure,So we should identify whether the cTn elevation is pure from the myocardial injury of heart failure or myocardial necrosis caused by ACS.Nowadays,the increased incidence of myocardial infarction has much to do with the wide application of cTn.Clinical applications of cardiac biomarkers and imaging techniques are flexible as the differences in the diagnostic techniques of myocardial infarction among countries and regions result.

Objective To study the correlation between the degree of anxious state in patients with hypertension and the serum homocysteine level.Methods This is a case-control study in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January to May in 2013.164 cases of essential hypertension with continuing unstable blood pressure after being treated for nearly a week were include.They have been analysed with GAD-7 and PHQ-9 evaluation scale for anxiety and depression state.According to the anxiety status,patients were devided into three groups:Group Ⅰ (28 cases without anxiety),Group Ⅱ (81 cases with mild anxiety),group Ⅲ (55 cases with moderate-to-severe anxiety).Results (1) Correlation analysis showed,the GAD-7 anxiety scale score related with age,PHQ-9 Depression Scale and Hcy level (P < 0.05),PHQ-9 Depression Scale score and Hcy levels were correlated (P < 0.05).(2) Multiple stepwise regression showed that PHQ-9 Depression Scale entered the regression equation,while GAD-7 anxiety scale,age and the level of hcy were risk factors.Conclusion Hcy level is a risk factor for hypertension patients with depression,there is correlation with the severity of anxiety.Mental health should be paid attention to patients with essential hypertension.

ObjectiveTo detect specific antigens of neural cells in amniotic epithelial cells(AECs) in rats. MethodsAECs were dissociated and purified from the amnion of pregnancy 12—14 d rats. The expression of specific markers of neural stem cells (Nestin, Musashi) and differentiated cells (MAP-2,NSE,GFAP) and ChAT, NT-3 in the AECs were detected by immunocytochemistry. ResultsThe cultured AECs displayed positive immunoreactivity to MAP-2, NSE, GFAP, Nestin and Musashi. In addition, the cells also demonstrated immunoreactivity to ChAT and NT-3. ConclusionAECs are similar with neural cells and it may be useful as a sustained source to improve outcome of neural stem cells transplantation.

ObjectiveTo investigate an effective method to isolate neural stem cells(NSCs).MethodsNSCs were dissociated by digestion with trypsin, EDTA and different doses of Dispase,and serum-free culture techniques and immunohistochemistry techniques were used to verifying the dissociated.ResultsA lot of single neural stem cells were obtained by using Dispase to digest neurosphere, and the cells could keep its structure and morphology.ConclusionIt is an ideal method by using Dispase to digest neurosphere for isolating NSCs.

Objective To investigate of the radiological manifestations in congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of lung in adult and to improve the diagnostic accuracy of CCAM of lung in adult.Methods Five cases with pathologically proved CCAM of lung in adult were retrospectively analyzed.Chest X-ray was available in 5 cases and chest CT was performed in 2 cases.Results On plain chest radiography,thin wall air cystic lesions with air-fluid level were detected in 3 cases.Honeycomb like small cystic lesion was detected in 1 case.Multiple round cystic lesions were found in 1 case.CT scan of the chest demonstrated a round thin wall air cystic lesion in the lateral segment of right lung's middle lobe,and a thin wall air cystic lesion with the wall merged into the shadow of chest wall in the left apicoposterior segment in one case.Small cystic lesions just like honeycomb were found in bilateral basal segments of the inferior lobes,with a 0.8—1.0 cm sized round mass revealed in the right lung′s inferior lobe basal segment, and the mass was spiculated in another case.Conclusion The imaging signs of CCAM of lung in adult is cyst or cyst-solid and at the risk of developing carcinoma.

0.05). Conclusion Preproghrelin-Leu72Met is not significantly associated with T2DM and DN in Shanghai Han populations,while T2DM with AA genotype is characterized by significant declination in urine microalbumin when compared with CA and CC genotypes.Leu72Met polymorphism(C→A)may postpone the development of microalbuminuria in T2DM subjects.

The abnormality of ubiquitin proteasome pathway is an important factor leading to the imbalance of protein homeostasis. In this process, the deubiquitinase responsible for removing the ubiquitin chain of protein substrate is very important. Its abnormal activity or expression can cause the functional changes of key oncogenic/tumor suppressor proteins, which directly or indirectly lead to the occurrence, development and malignant evolution of tumors. Based on this, the discovery and research of small molecule inhibitors targeting deubiquitinases have become a hot field of anti-tumor candidate drugs. This review will focus on the regulatory effect and mechanism of ubiquitin proteasome pathway, especially deubiquitinase on tumor, introduce the application of deubiquitinase small molecule inhibitors in tumor treatment, and discuss the research status and latest progress of small molecule inhibitors, so as to provide ideas for the research of new anti-tumor strategies based on deubiquitinase.
