Objective Through performance analysis of domestic red blood cells folic acid instrument to verify its testing ability. Methods According to national committee for clinical laboratory standards(NCCLS)EP5-A2,the precision was obtained through two level quality product detection within 20 days then the intra-assay variation coefficient(CV),inter-assay CV and CV in labora-tory was calculated and compared with the precision requirement coming from the red blood cells folic acid biological variation.Ac-cording to EP6-A,the linear evaluation was investigated with method of polynomial regression.By measuring the red blood cells fo-lic acid from 20 persons who presented the total healthy people,the reference scope given by the manufacturer was verified.Results Within the group CV was less than 6.67%(1/4 of biological variation allow total error),between the group CV was less than 8.90%(1/3 of biological variation allow total error),the laboratory CV was less than 13.35%(1/2 of biological variation allow to-tal error).At medical decision level,the calculated bias and the confidence limit were smaller than the allow range of error.Both fac-tors of quadratic polynomial and cubic polynomial regression models were not statistically significant compared with zero,so detec-tion system was linear.The reference scope given by manufacturer was not suitable for the local people.Conclusion The precision, accuracy and linearity of domestic red blood cells folic acid analyzer were accord with requirements.The laboratory should establish reference interval suitable for the local population.

Objective To investigate the differences in dosimetry between conformal radiotherapy (CRT),field-in-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (FIF-IMRT),and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) after breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer.Methods A total of 31 patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer were randomly selected,and the plans for CRT,FIF-IMRT,and IMRT were developed.The dose-volume histogram (DVH) was used for self-control study,and the non-parametric test was used to compare the differences in target volume and doses to organs at risk (OARs).Results All the three methods met the requirements of the prescribed doses.The CRT group had a higher V105 of the target volume and higher heart V30 and Dmax (P=0.000,0.000,0.000).The IMRT group had higher V5 and Dmean (P=0.000,0.000),as well as a higher lung V5 and a lower lung V40 (P=0.000,0.000).The FIF-IMRT group had the lowest Dmean (P=0.000),and the IMRT group had significantly higher Dmean and Dmax of the right lung and the spinal cord than the other two groups (P=0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000).The FIF-IMRT group had a significantly lower single hop count than the other two groups (P=0.000).Conclusions CRT has a good dose distribution in the target volume,but greatly injures the surrounding tissues.FIF-IMRT can well protect OARs and cause less damage to the device.

Objective To evaluate the development of immature oocytes after freezing-thawing by conventional cryopreservation method for mature oocytes.Methods Immature oocytes were collected from stimulated ovaries of intracytoplasmic sperm injection(ICSI)cycles.Immature oocytes were in vitro matured directly or after slow freezing-fast thawing and immunostained for tubulin and chromatin and at last visualized by confocal microscopy.Results No statistical difference was found in maturity rate between freezing groups and the controls.There was a statistically significant increase in abnormalities of chromosome(23.7% vs. 50%)and spindle(28.9% vs.53.9%)in the GV freezing group compared with the GV control(P

Objective To explore the clinical correlation of the variation of plasma homocysteine (HCY), melatonin (MLT) and ulceative colitis (UC). Methods The clinical data of 112 UC patients was collected, and 110 normal healthy persons as control. The level of plasma HCY and MLT was detected by high pressure liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (HPLC-FD) method. The level of plasma folate ( FA) and vitamin B12 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The correlation of these four indexes and UC was analyzed. Results The serum level of HCY in UC patients was significantly higher than that in normal healthy persons [(11. 27± 7.26) μmol/L vs (8. 19±4. 81) μmol/L, P = 0. 000]. The serum level of MLT in UC patients was significantly lower than that in normal healthy persons [(49. 06 + 31. 40) pg/ml vs (64. 28±41. 16) pg/ml,P=0. 008]. The serum level of FA in UC patients was significantly lower than that in normal healthy persons [(7. 64 + 1.95) nmol/L vs (9. 14 + 1.23) nmol/L, P = 0. 005]. The serum level of vitamin B12 in UC patients was significantly lower than that in normal healthy persons [(108. 64 ±32. 22) pmol/L vs (112. 64±33. 33) pmol/L, P = 0. 004]. There was no correlation between plasma HCY, MLT and UC disease activity degree, range, disease duration, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), or C reactive protein (CRP) in UC patients. There was no significant correlation between MLT and HCY in UC patients. Conclusions The serum level of HCY is higher in UC patients than that in normal control, and MLT is lower than that in normal control. However there is no significant correlation between them.

Aim To investigate whether Hcy influenced the intestinal mucosal permeability by regulating MEK-ERK-MLCK pathway. Methods SD rats were divided into 4 groups:normal group, normal+Hcy group, TN-BS/ethanol group, TNBS/ethanol+Hcy group. Experi-mental colitis model with hyperhomocystinemia was es-tablished in rats with intracolonic administration of TN-BS and subcutaneous injection of Hcy. The colonic mucosal tissue was collected for histopathological exam-ination and activity of myeloperoxidase ( MPO ) . The protein expression of MLCK, p-MLCK, MEK, ERK and p-ERK in intestinal mucosal tissues was examined by Western blot method. The mRNA expression of ML-CK was examined by RT-qPCR method. Result Com-pared with the normal group and TNBS group, the DAI and HI scores and the MPO activity were increased in TNBS/ethanol+Hcy group ( P <0. 01 ) . Western blot and RT-qPCR showed that expression of MLCK, p-ML-CK, MEK, ERK and p-ERK increased in small intes-tine in TNBS/ethanol+Hcy group. Conclusion Hcy can increase intestinal permeability in TNBS-induced colitis rats by regulating the expression of MEK-ERK-MLCK signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the association between MYO9B rs962917 and rs1545620 gene polymorphism and clinical pathological characteristics of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and permeability of intestinal mucosa.Methods From September 2010 to May 2012,a total of 196 cases of patients with IBD were collected,100 cases were ulcerative colitis (UC) and 96 cases were Crohn's disease (CD).At the same time,99 gender and age matched healthy individuals were collected as healthy controls.The 5 mL blood of participants was obtained and DNA was extracted.The MYO9B gene rs962917 and rs1545620 polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and ligase detection reaction (LDR).After 60 patients with UC and 58 patients with CD orally took intestinal permeability testing fluid (with lactulose and mannitol),the urine of the patients was analyzed with high pressure liquid chromatography-pulsed lectrochemical dection (HPLC-PED).The permeability of intestinal mucosa was determined according to the ratio of lactulose and mannitol.Chisquare test was used for count data.Results Compared with healthy control group,there was no significant difference in genotype and allelic gene distribution of MYO9B rs962917 and rs1545620 of IBD group,UC group and CD group (all P＞0.05).The genotype of MYO9B rs962917 and rs1545620 of patients with UC was not related with the disease activity and location of lesions (rs962917:x2 =0.481 and 3.812,rs1545620..x2 =0.398 and 4.543 ;all P＞0.05).The genotype of MYO9B rs962917 of patients with CD was not related with the disease activity,lesion type and occurrence of perianal lesions (x2 =0.384,0.476 and 3.486,all P＞0.05) and was related with location of lesions (x2=15.926,P＜0.05).The genotype of MYO9B rs1545620 of patients with CD was not related with the disease activity and lesion type (x2 =1.407 and 5.126,both P＞0.05),however was related with location of lesions and occurrence of perianal lesions (x2 =18.165 and 7.629,both P＜0.05).The permeability of intestinal mucosa of all 58 patients with CD was high.The genotype of MYO9B rs962917 and rs1545620 of patients with UC was not related with the permeability of intestinal mucosa (x2=1.508 and 1.025,both P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion MYO9B rs962917 and rs1545620 gene polymorphism is related with the location of lesions in CD and is not related with the permeability of intestinal mucosa of patients with UC.
