Objective To investigate differential expressed protein in the intestinal mucosa of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with antibody chips,and to explore the possible role of the screened proteins in pathogenesis of IBD.Methods The mucosa tissues of nine patients with ulcerative colitis (UC),nine patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and nine control individuals were collected.After total protein of each group was extracted,the differential expressed protein of each group was analyzed by Raybiotech L-series human cytokine antibody chips.The mucose tissues of other nine patients with UC,nine patients with CD and nine control individuals were collected,and were used to verify the greatly differential expressed proteins by Western blot.The t-test was performed to compare two groups.Results Compared with the control group,there was significantly difference in 263 cytokines of UC group,and 414 cytokines of CD group.And then the higher expressions of herpes virus entry mediator,leukemia inhibitory factor and platelet factor 4 in the mucosa tissues of IBD patients were confirmed by Western blot and the differences were statistically significant (UC:t=23.85,9.53,18.88; CD:t=13.54,16.65,13.67,all P＜0.01).Conclusion The screened differential expressed cytokines in the mucosa tissues of IBD patients by cytokine antibody chips could be helpful to reveal the pathogenesis of IBD and discover new molecular biomarkers.

Objective The purpose of this paper is to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the bone marrow smears and bone marrow biopsy in multiple myeloma diagnosis and efficacy judgment,explicit the value of bone marrow smears and bone marrow biopsy synchronous check in the diagnosis and treatment observation of multiple myeloma.Methods With two step-suction two biopsy specimens assay,obtained specimens of bone marrow smears and bone marrow biopsy,retrospective-ly analysed results of 283 multiple myeloma patients bone marrow smear and biopsy,and made a comparative study on the degree of bone marrow hyperplasia,myeloma cell morphology,the degree of tumor cell infiltration,proliferation pattern,bone marrow stromal pathological changes,and fibrosis cases.Results The degree of proliferation of bone marrow biopsy sections and infiltration of plasma cells was significantly higher than that of bone marrow smears,statistically there was a significant difference (P <0.01).Multiple myeloma diagnostic sensitivity by bone marrow biopsy sections was significantly higher than by the bone marrow smears,the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Plasma cells in bone marrow biopsy tumor proliferation modes:clusterpiece nodular type 33 cases (11.66%),interstitial-type 86 cases (30.39%),among nodular interstitial type 112 cases (39.58%),diffuse cypriot real 52 cases (18.37%).Plasma cells in bone marrow smears tumor morphology:small mature plasma cell type 77 cases (27.21%),immature plasma cell type 148 cases (52.30%),protoplas-mic cell type 36 cases (12.72%),reticular plasma cell type 22 cases (7.77%).Conclusion Marrow biopsy can accurately reflect the degree of bone marrow hyperplasia,plasma cell tumor proliferation mode and infiltration degree,myelofibrosis sit-uation;bone marrow smears Wright-Giemsa staining,plasma cell tumor morphology was clear,typicalfeatured,and easily i-dentifiable.Bone marrow smear and biopsy synchronous check can improve the sensitivity and accuracy for multiple myeloma diagnosis,which has very important significance for multiple myeloma diagnosis and treatment observation.

Objective To investigate the correlation of multidrug resistance gene 1 (MDR1),NR3C1 gene polymorphisms and clinical risk factors with efficacy,dependence,and resistance of glucocorticoid (GC) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods Anti coagulation blood samples of 196 healthy controls and 105 IBD patients received GC therapy were collected.There were 62 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 43 Crohn's disease (CD) in the IBD patients.The number of GC sensitive,GC dependent and GC resistant of UC patients were 36,13 and 13,respectively,and those of CD patients were 24,11 and eight.GC refractoriness included GC dependence and resistance.The genotype of MDR1 C3435T and NR3C1 Bcl Ⅰ of all the subjects was detected by the restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction (RFLP-PCR).The correlation between each genotype frequency,clinical features of patients with IBD and the efficacy of GC treatment was analyzed by Chisquare test,Fisher exact probability method or t test.Results Among UC patients,the disease course of GC refractory group and GC resistant group was longer than that of GC sensitive group ((6.660±1.523)years,(6.500±1.111) yearsvs (3.350±0.697) years,t=2.211,P=0.031; t=2.930,P=0.005).The serum level of C reaction protein (CRP) of GC refractory group was higher than that of GC sensitive group ((47.628±13.913) mg/Lvs (16.854±4.121) mg/L,t=2.121,P=0.047).The chronic relapse type was more common in GC refractory UC patients (Fisher exact probability method,P=0.035),and severe patients were more common in UC with GC resistance (Fisher exact probability method,P=0.021).The white blood cell count of GC resistant and GC refractory CD patient was lower than that of GC sensitive CD patients ((5.710 ± 0.604) ×109/L,(5.878±0.405) × 109/L vs (7.814 ±0.670) × 109/L,t=2.334,P=0.028; t=2.045,P=0.018).Patients with extraqntestinal manifestations was more common in CD with GC resistance (Fisher exact probability method,P=0.035).There was no statistically significant difference in the frequencies of MDR1 C3435T,NR3C1 Bcl Ⅰ genotypes,allelic genes and gene carrier among control group and GC sensitive dependent and resistant group of IBD patients.However,the frequency of MDR1 C3435T gene carrier was significantly different between GC sensitive group and GC refractory group,especially between GC sensitive group and GC resistance group (68.33％ vs 48.89％,x2 =4.051,P=0.044; 68.33％ vs 42.86％,x2 =4.274,P =0.039).Conclusions GC sensitivity of IBD patients with MDR1 C3435T loci T gene carrier was higher than that of IBD patients without T gene carrier.NR3C1 gene polymorphisms was not related with GC resistance and GC dependence.Compared with GC sensitive IBD patients,in GC resistant and GC dependent IBD pantient UC patients with long disease course,chronic relapse type,severe type,high level of CRP and CD patients with low white blood cell count and extra-intestinal manifestations were more common.

Objective To explore the abnormal karyotype characteristics of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)patients and their correlation with clinical prognosis.Methods Analyzed the karyotypes of 281 MDS patients by use of G-banding tech-nique.Results Through analysis of the karyotypes of 281 MDS patients,found that the percentage of abnormal karyotypes was 48.75% (137/281),among 137 patients with abnormal karyotypes,43.07% (59 cases)presented with numerical aber-ration,31.39% (43 cases)with structural aberration,and 25.54% (35 cases)with both numerical and structural abnormali-ties.As for MDS subtypes,the occurrence rate of abnormal karyotype was 63.41% (26/41)in RAEB-2,58.73% (37/63)in RAEB-1,39.2% (49/125)in RCMD,15.38% (2/13)in RAS and 22.58% (7/31)in RA.The rates of abnormal karyotype in RAEB-1 and RAEB-2 were significantly higher than that in RA and RAS(P<0.01),and in RCMD (P <0.05).The fre-quent abnormal karyotypes were as follows:+8,-7/7q-,-20/20q-,complex karyotypes chromosomal translocation,i(17),-Y and +21.The follow-up study of 159 MDS patients indicated that the median survival time was 39 months for 68 patients with normal karyotypes and 21 months for 91 patients with abnormal karyotypes,the former was significantly prolonged than the latter (P < 0.05).As far as the leukemia transition rate was concerned,the patients with aberrant karyotypes (35.5%)were significantly higher than that with normal karyotypes (10.3%)(P < 0.01),among them,the cases with complex karyotypes and-7/7q-more easily transit into leukemia.Conclusion MDS was one kind of clonal hematological ma-lignancy with high heterogeneity.Chromosomal karyotype test plays an important role in the correct diagnosis,typing and prognosis evaluation of MDS.

Lead?time bias and length bias were common systematic errors in observational screening studies, which might be a common cause of overstating or distorting the true screening effects. One of key concerns in observational screening studies was how to estimate the screening effects based on the consideration of these two biases. This paper illustrated how to identify and correct the lead?time bias using the tumor volume doubling time and the non?homogeneous Poisson process, and how to correct the length bias using a weighted method. The application conditions of each method were also discussed to present several useful toolboxes to correct the lead?time bias and length bias appropriately and evaluate the effectiveness of the cancer screening program accurately.

Esophageal cancer is the main malignant cancer in China. In 2015, the incidence and mortality of esophageal cancer were 17.87 per 100 000 and 13.68 per 100 000, respectively, ranking 6th and 4th in the incidence and death. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the main pathological type of esophageal cancer, accounting for 86.3% of new cases. ESCC′s pathogenesis is still not clear and its related risk factors remain to be explored. There are no detection biomarkers that can be widely applied in the whole country nowadays. In order to provide a scientific basis for exploring the pathogenesis of ESCC and improve screening technology, this paper summarizes the research status of various risk factors and potential biomarkers of ESCC.

Objective:To analyze the drug resistance characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx of hospitalized patients in North China from 2022 to 2023. Methods:From November 2022 to July 2023, nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from 100 inpatients in Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology, and Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated and cultured. At the same time, the clinical data of the patients were collected, including gender, age, department, clinical diagnosis of disease type, etc. The minimum inhibitory concentration of strains was detected by an automatic bacterial drug sensitivity system. The drug resistance genes, ST types, capsule serotypes and population structure of the strains were analyzed by whole genome sequencing and data analysis. Results:Klebsiella pneumoniae was isolated from 55 nasopharyngeal swabs of 100 inpatients(55.00%). Among the 55 inpatients with Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx, 70.91% (39/55) were male, with an age distribution concentrated between 61 and 80 years old (58.18%, 32/55), and 50.91% (28/55) were in intensive care units (ICU). The main underlying disease type was nervous system disease (49.09%, 27/55). The results of drug sensitivity showed that the non-susceptibility rates of 55 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae to cephalosporins, quinolones, aztreonam and nitrofurantoin were all more than 80.00%. Twenty-eight carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains (50.91%), 47 extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing strains (85.45%), and 48 multi-drug-resistant strains (87.27%) were detected. A total of 11 antibiotic resistance genes were detected, including carbapenems (carrying rate 76.36%) and extended-spectrum β-lactamase (carrying rate 96.36%). The 55 strains could be divided into 17 ST types, and the most common type was ST11 (25.45%). The 55 strains were divided into 18 capsular serotypes, among which K102 was the most prevalent (23.64%). OXA-1_ST307_K102 (21.82%) and KPC-2_ST5492_K125 (18.18%) were the dominant clones, distributed in the Department of Neurosurgery and ICU. The result of whole genome sequence analysis showed that there were four clusters with high homology among the 55 strains. The strains from the ICU formed two independent clusters, and strains from the Neurology ICU and Neurosurgery department formed one cluster respectively. Conclusion:The carrying rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the nasopharynx of inpatients is high, and the drug resistance of the strains is serious. There are many types of drug-resistant genes.
