1.Association between γ-glutamyl transpeptidase-to-platelet ratio and hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2017;33(3):548-552
Early and accurate diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis and application of antiviral therapy are the key to improving the prognosis of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).Liver biopsy and transient elastography cannot be widely used for the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis in clinical practice,and therefore,the serological diagnostic model has become a hot research topic in recent years.This article introduces a new serological diagnostic model,γ-glutamyl transpeptidase-to-platelet ratio (GPR),which has a high value in the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis in CHB patients;however,the accuracy of GPR varies between different populations and different areas.GPR is also an excellent predictor for the prognosis of hepatitis B-associated liver cancer.It is pointed out that GPR has a promising future in the diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis in CHB patients,but due to a lack of clinical research data on GPR,further studies are needed to support its application in China.

3.Internal medical management of extranodal nasal type NK/T cell lymphoma
Journal of International Oncology 2015;42(1):71-73
Extranodal nasal type NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is a highly aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Due to its low occurrence even in prevalent areas,there has been no large sample randomized controlled clinical trials.Therefore,no standard therapeutic strategy is currently identified in this disease.Tumor cells are insensitive to conventional anthracyclines-containing chemotherapy because of high expression of multi-drug resistant gene 1.Regimens that incorporate the use of L-asparaginase or gemcitabine result in substantial improvements in overall response rate and are promising treatment for ENKTL.Targeted therapy,immunomodulatory therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are still under research.

Objective: To research the clinical curative effect and explore the mechanism of penetrating of scalp-point on acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods: 66 patients were randomly divided into two groups: one is the scalp-point therapeutic group, the other is the western medicine group. The two groups were all treated by dehydration, etc. In addition, there are 20 normal people to be set as the healthy group. To select the nervous functional deficit mark, activity of daily living (ADL) form, the amount S-100B protein as indexes and analysis the results. Results: the recordings indicate the patients' Serum S-100B protein are related with nervous functional deficiency mark. After 28 days, the recovery of patients' nervous function of scalp acupuncture group was obviously superior to that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: The results suggested that the patients' Serum S-100B had positive correlation with nervous functional deficit; The penetrating of scalp-point had the better regulatory effect on the level of Serum S-100B, and could improve the nervous functional deficit and ADL, so as to improve the coordination and compensation function and the general nervous function between cortical functional areas

The new cataloguing rules, RDA, have been implemented in NLM and more RDA bibliographic data can thus be accessed in domestic medical libraries when the Western documents are catalogued by offloading their bibliographic data.The differences in RDA and AACR2 were compared, the common modified fields and descrip-tive contents were described when the RDA bibliographic data were changed into AACR2 bibliographic data in order to provide certain reference for cataloguing of Western documents using the RDA bibliographic data.

Gastric cancer is one of the most commonly seen malignant tumors in digestive tract.Early diagnosis and treatment is crucial for the improvement of patients'survival.By analyzing the proteins aberrantly expressed in gastric cancer using proteomics technologies,a series of proteins that are strongly related to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer have been identified,which are promising to be applied for the early diagnosis and prediction of patients' prognosis.This article reviewed the recent advances in research on proteomic biomarkers for gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the value of prenatal ultrasound observation of subaortic conical connection in the diagnosis of complete transposition of great arteries(TGA).Methods Echocardiography findings of 22 cases with complete TGA confirmed by autopsy were retrospectively analyzed and summarized.Results All cases were shown subaortic conical connection on two-dimensional echocardiography,the two great arteries were parallel in 18 cases on left ventricular long-axis view,the character of normal right ventricular outflow tract surrounding the aortic root disappeared in 17 cases.There were 13 cases with ventricular septal defect and 2 cases with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.Aorta and pulmonary artery were shown in right anterior and left posterior position among 20 cases,and in anterior and posterior position in 2 cases.Conclusions Prenatal ultrasound observation of subaortic conical connection is of great value in the diagnosis of complete TGA.

BACKGROUND:Endothelial progenitor cel s have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of traumatic diseases in recent years. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of magnetic labeled endothelial progenitor cel transplantation on renal function of diabetic rats through a MRI imaging study.METHODS:Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal (no treatment), control and experimental groups. Intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg streptozotocin was performed to make a rat model of type 1 diabetes in the control and experimental groups. Four weeks after modeling, rats in the experimental group were given intravenous injection of magnetic labeled endothelial progenitor cel s (0.15 mL, 1×109/L). Fasting blood glucose, serum insulin, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and 24-hour urinary protein levels in rats were measured at 8 weeks after cel transplantation. MRI was used to trace transplanted cel s in vivo in comparison with renal biopsy findings, and rat body mass and kidney weight were measured to calculate kidney weight index. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After modeling, fasting blood glucose, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and 24-hour urinary protein levels as wel as kidney weight index were increased significantly (P<0.05), while the insulin level decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the endothelial progenitor cel transplantation reversed these indices (P<0.05). Additional y, in the experimental group, there was slightly longer T1 and shorter T2 signals as wel as marked lesion edge, and the FLASH sequence became more remarkable compared with the T2-weighted RARE sequence. The other groups showed no significant low signal changes. Magnetic-labeled positive cel s in the experimental group showed by the MRI were consistent with the tissue biopsy results, while no positive cel s were found in the model and normal groups. To conclude, the magnetic labeled endothelial progenitor cel transplantation can improve renal dysfunction in diabetic rats to a certain extent.
