Objective To observe and analyze the change situation of trace elements and cytokines in the patients with leukoderma.Methods Sixty-two patients with leukoderma in our hospital from June 2013 to January 2016 were selected as the observation group and contemporaneous 62 individuals undergoing physical examination were selected as the control group.Then the serum trace elements and cytokines levels were compared between the two groups and the detection results of above serum indexes in the observation group were compared among different grades and stages too.Results The serum trace elements levels of the observation group were all lower than those of the control group,the serum interleukin 10(IL-10)level was lower than that of the control group,while other serum cytokines levels were all higher than those of the control group,moreover the detecfion results of above serum indexes in the observation group had statistical differences among different grades and stages(P<0.05).Conclusion Leukoderma has obvious effect on trace elements and cytokines and the influence of differente grades and stages of leukoderma on their expressions is inconsistent.

Objective: To observe the effect of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) on creatine kinase (CK), mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration, and ultrastructure of skeletal muscle in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) model rats.Methods: A total of 130 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a blank group, an exercise control group, a pre-exercise Tuina group, and a post-exercise Tuina group. According to the time points for sample collection, the exercise control group was divided into a 0 h exercise control group, a 24 h exercise control group, a 48 h exercise control group, and a 72 h exercise control group; the pre-exercise Tuina group was further divided into a 0 h pre-exercise Tuina group, a 24 h pre-exercise Tuina group, a 48 h pre-exercise Tuina group, and a 72 h pre-exercise Tuina group; and the post-exercise Tuina group was divided into a 0 h post-exercise Tuina group, a 24 h post-exercise Tuina group, a 48 h post-exercise Tuina group, and a 72 h post-exercise Tuina group. Rats in all groups except for the blank group received DOMS modeling. Professionals performed Nie-Pinching manipulation and finger Nian-Twisting manipulation on the lower limbs of the rats. The samples were collected at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h after exhaustive exercise for each pre-exercise Tuina group. The samples were collected at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h after Tuina for each post-exercise Tuina group. The changes in serum CK, skeletal muscle mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration, and Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) were determined. The ultrastructure changes of skeletal muscles in each group were observed by a transmission electron microscope. Results: The electron microscope showed that compared with the exercise control group, the skeletal muscle structures of the pre-exercise Tuina group and the post-exercise Tuina group were significantly improved, and the overall performance of skeletal muscle in the pre-exercise Tuina group was more similar to that of the blank group. The level of serum CK in the pre-exercise Tuina group and the post-exercise Tuina group was significantly lower than that in the exercise control group (P<0.01). The Ca2+ concentration of skeletal muscle in the 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h pre-exercise Tuina groups was lower than that in the post-exercise Tuina group at the same time point (P<0.01). The Ca2+-ATPase concentration of skeletal muscle in the 24 h and 72 h pre-exercise Tuina groups was lower than that in the post-exercise Tuina group at the same time point (P<0.05).Conclusion: Tuina effectively prevents muscle damage caused by heavy exercise and long-term exercise, which may be related to the increase of skeletal muscle Ca2+-ATPase activity and mitochondrial Ca2+ transport.

Objective To study the comparability of total prostate specific antigen ( tPSA) meas-urement by four domestic chemiluminescence immunoassays ( DCI) and electrochemiluminescence immuno-assay ( ECI) . Methods A total of 45 serum samples that requested tPSA tests were selected. Four DCIs ( Snibe MAGLUMI 4000, Mindray CL-2000i, Autobio A2000, HYBIOME AE180) and ECI ( Roche Cobas e601) were used to measure tPSA. The precisions of the methods were evaluated. The four DCIs were com-pared with Roche ECI respectively, and the comparability of the test results was analyzed. Wilcoxon signed rank test and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Results The precisions of five methods were good. The tPSA levels measured by Roche Cobas e601, Snibe MAGLUMI 4000, Mindray CL-2000i, Autobio A2000, and HYBIOME AE180 were 14.11(9.92, 36.09), 12.00(8.56, 27.23), 12.10 (8. 60, 29.87), 13.35(9.51, 32.85) and 14.50(9.88, 40.06) μg/L, respectively. The correlation coeffi-cients of Roche with Snibe MAGLUMI 4000, Mindray CL-2000i, and Autobio A2000 were 0.992, 0.989, 0. 957 and 0.983, respectively (all P<0.001). Assuming the tPSA medical decision point for regression equation was 4.0μg/L, the proportional biases of Snibe MAGLUMI 4000, Mindray CL-2000i, Autobio A2000, and HYBIOME AE180 compared with Roche were -10. 88%, -18. 07%, 0. 23% and 22. 31%, respectively. Conclusion The comparability of tPSA test results is different between 4 DCIs and Roche ECI, which pro-vides some references for clinical application and standardization of the DCI test results.

Objective To validate the performance of 4 domestic chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) systems on 8 tumor markers quantitative assay kits. Methods Four domestic CLIA systems were randomly marked as A, B, C, D and 8 tumor markers, including carbohydrate antigen (CA)125, CA15-3, CA19-9, ferritin (Fer), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), prostate-specific an-tigen (PSA) and free PSA (fPSA) were determined. According to the standard of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), the precision, methodological comparison and analytical measure range of 4 systems were validated. Clinical serum samples were obtained from patients in Suzhou Hospital. According to the CLSI EP9-A3 protocol, imported equipment was used as the reference system. The biases of medical de-cision points were assumed, and Pearson correlation analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Results The precision verification of CA125 and PSA on A, CA125 and AFP on B, CA125, CEA, AFP and PSA on C, and all 8 tumor markers on D could meet the laboratory quality control requirements. The correlations of the test results between A-D and the imported equipment were significant (all P<0.05) with the correlation coefficients 0.79-0.99, 0.47-0.99, 0.90-0.98 and 0.78-1.00, respec-tively, and the number of acceptable tests at the level of medical decision was 5, 2, 5, 4. All tests were certified to meet the analytical measure range validation. Conclusions The detection performance of 4 do-mestic CLIA systems for all 8 tumor markers are different. The performance of domestic CLIA systems should be tested when choosing one that can meet laboratory quality control requirements.

ObjectiveTo explore the related factors of troublemaking behaviors among patients with mental disorders induced by amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), and to provide references for the formulation of relevant intervention measures for ATS-induced mental disorders. MethodsA total of 105 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) for ATS-induced mental disorders were included, and classified into troublemaking group and non-troublemaking group. The general demographic data and clinical data of the selected individuals were collected, and all patients were assessed using Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Then univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to screen the related factors of troublemaking behaviors. ResultsThe scores of SSRS, objective support dimension and social support utilization dimension were significantly lower in troublemaking group than those in non-troublemaking group, with statistical differences [(24.10±6.59) vs. (28.94±5.59), t=3.364, P=0.001; (5.50±1.96) vs. (8.20±2.13), t=5.183, P<0.01; (4.60±2.26) vs. (6.28±1.90), t=3.435, P=0.001]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR=6.061, P=0.014) was a risk factor, while high social support level (OR=0.873, P=0.018) was the protective factor for troublemaking behaviors among patients with ATS-induced mental disorders. ConclusionPatients with ATS-induced mental disorders of the males and with low social support level are at high risk of troublemaking behaviors.
