Objective To investigate the correlation of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) with clinical pathological factors and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ).Methods Two hundred and twenty patients with HCC who hospitalized in our hospital from January 2007 to June 2009 were enrolled in this study.The relationship of AFP levels before operation to clinical pathological factors such as pathological grade,tumor size,tumor encapsulation,tumor numbers,portal vein tumor thrombus,TNM stage and postoperative recurrence were analyzed.Results Serum AFP concentration before operation were related with tumor size ( x2 =11.76,P ＜ 0.05 ),tumor encapsulation ( x2 =17.07,P ＜ 0.05 ),portal vein tumor thrombus ( x2 =8.944,P ＜ 0.05 ),higher TNM stage ( x2 =4.929,P ＜ 0.05 ) and early postoperative recurrence rate ( x2 =5.569,P ＜ 0.05 ).However,it had no correlation with pathological edmondson grade tumor numbers.Conclusion HCC patients with high serum AFP concentration often has greater tumor without encapsulation,high occurrence rate of portal vein tumor thrombus and higher TNM stage,they are more likely to early postoperative recurrence.Serum AFP before operation is useful not only for diagnosis,but also as a prognostic biomarker to predict prognosis and recurrence.

Objective To investigate the effects of preoperative biliary drainage ( PBD ) on the morbidity and mortality of pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice in the lower bile duct. Methods Clinical data of 74 cases undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2005 with preoperative total bilirubin level over 85 μmol/L were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Comparison was performed between patients receiving PBD and those not. Before surgery. The parameters sincluding perioperative situation, in-hospital death rate, post-operative complications and were calculated to evaluate the influence of pre-operative biliary drainage on the outcomes. Univariate analysis and Logistic analysis were used to identify the risk factors for post-operative complications. Results Forty (40/74) cases received PTCD procedure. The total bilirubin was significantly reduced from (338. 10±88. 38 )μwnol/L to ( 228. 50±82.24) μ,mol/L in PTCD population and was significantly lower than ( 328. 60±93. 02) μmol/L of the non-PTCD group. There was no significance between the two groups in terms of total complications and individual complication Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative TB over 340 μmol/L and blood loss over 600 ml were important risk factors for post-operative complications. Conclusion High pre-operative total bilirubin over 340 μmol/L increases the risk of post-operative complications in the patients with malignant jaundice. Preoperative biliary drainage is useful to reduce the total bilirubin and improve the hepatic function of the patients. Prolonged pre-operative biliary drainage could be considered in the patients with high preoperative bilirubin,poor nutritional condition and impaired coagulation to enhance the tolerance of surgery.

To study the antioxidative stress effect of probucol for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: Sixty - eight clinic patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy were selected from January, 2012 to August, 2013. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, the control group was received conventional medicine for hypoglycemic therapy, and the observation group was given probucol (0. 375g, twice daily) on the basis of control group. All patients were followed up for average 11. 58 ± 0. 17mo. At the same time 16 healthy volunteers matched with baseline were collected as normal control group. Changes in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, the staging progress rate and the remission rate of diabetic retinopathy, and indicators related to oxidative stress, such as, total antioxide capacity ( TAOC ) , superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) , and methane dicarboxy aldehyde ( MDA ) , of two groups of patients before and after therapy were observed.RESULTS: Fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin of patients in two groups before and after therapy showed no significant changes, and the differences had no statistical significance. The staging remission rate and the progress rate of diabetic retinopathy of the control group after therapy were 3% and 19% respectively. The staging remission rate and the progress rate of diabetic retinopathy of the observation group after probucol therapy were 18% and 5% respectively. ln comparison with the control group, the difference had statistical significance (P<0. 05). TAOC, SOD, MDA of the control group before and after therapy had no obvious change, but TAOC, SOD of the observation group after therapy had significantly increased, and MDA had significantly decreased ( P < 0. 05 ), with statistical significance in comparison with the changes of the patients in the control group after therapy (P<0. 05).CONCLUSlON:Probucol can improve the antioxidative stress status of the patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, and enhance the therapeutic effect of the patients with diabetic retinopathy.

BACKGROUND:High-density lipoprotein is related to lipid metabolism, but its function cannot be restricted to the scope of lipid metabolism. Simultaneously, exercise regulation has effects on the activity and amount of high-density lipoprotein, but the optimal movement pattern needs to be studied. OBJECTIVE:To offer the theoretical support for formulating fitness training and prospect the possible direction and reference in fol ow-up studying the biological function and exercise regulation of high-density lipoprotein. METHODS:PubMed database was searched for relevant articles published from 1990 to 2015 using the keywords of“HDL and exercise, HDL and biological function”in English. Final y, 44 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The biological functions of high-density lipoprotein mainly include high-density lipoprotein-mediated metabolism of glucose, protein and fat, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and insulin secretion, and at the same time, we summarize the effects of exercise on the concentration, numbers of molecular and components of high-density lipoprotein. The results indicate that the combination of resistance and endurance training is the best way for raising the concentration and functional effects of high-density lipoprotein.

Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae,and substantially harms human health and socioeconomic development.Due to inappropriate treatment and the presence of drug resistance genes in patients,antibiotic resistance has emerged in Neisseria gonorrhoeae,such as resistance to penicillin,tetracycline,ciprofloxacin,or other antibiotics.Currently,extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) are the first-line treatment of gonococcal infection.With the wide use of ESCs,the sensitivity of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to ESCs has been decreasing gradually,and there have been reports on cases of treatment failure in clinical practice.In order to control gonorrhea and deal with drug resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae,combined therapy,alternative therapy and new drugs have been developed in clinic.

We are facing increasing stress and challenges because of the fierce competition and fast pace of daily work and life.In other words,we are exposed to more frequent and intense social stress.Continual and intense stress is known to be detrimental to human well-being.Stress has been regarded as a major contributing factor of human diseases.There-fore,it′s necessary to review the recent research progress in stress biomarkers that are of different types,such as cortisol,α-amylase,catecholamine,heat shock protein and cytokines.In this review,we will focus on the most well reported stress biomarkers,including cortisol and α-amylase.We hope that this review will enable researchers and practitioners to gain in-sights into stress biomarkers,which will lead to improved healthcare decisions regarding prevention,treatment and rehabili-tation of stress-related diseases.

Objective To explore the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and outcome of HBV infection. Methods PCR amplification of HBV small S gene in combination with a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was applied to identify HBV genotype in the serum samples of 80 asymptomatic HBV carriers (AsC group) and 120 liver cirrhosis patients with HBV infection (LC group) in Gangdong province of China. Results The frequency of HBV genotypes B, C and D in AsC group was 45% (37/80), 33.75%(26/80) and 21.25%(17/80)respectively, and that of HBV genotypes B, C and D in LC group was 32.5%(39/120), 65.8%(79/120) and 1.6%(2/120) respectively. There is no HBV genotypes A, E and F in this series. The distribution of HBV genotypes in the two groups was not significant correlation with the state of HBeAg. There was a significant difference in the distribution of HBV genotypes between the two groups (P
