Objective To evaluate of value of HER2 as a prognostic marker,and to analysis associations with common his-topathological parameters in BC cases.Methods In this study,formalin-fixed,paraffin-embedded samples of tumors from 160 breast cancer patients who underwent curative surgery proce-dures between 2011 and 2014 were tested by immunohisto-chemistry (IHC)as aprimary estimate of HER2 status,followed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).Concordance rate between IHC and FISH was evaluated.Theχ2 test was used to evaluate the correlation between HER2 gene amplifica-tion status and different clinical pathological features including:(estrogen receptor)ER and (progesterone receptor)PR ex-pression,age,menopausal status and tumor size.Results There was a significant inverse association between expression of hormone receptors (ER and PR)and HER2 amplification (all P<0.05)among the patients studied.However,no relation-ship was observed between HER2 amplification and age,menopausal status and tumor size (P>0.05).HER2-negative le-sions were of higher grade and more likely to be ER-negative,PR-negative,p5 3-positive,lymph node metastasis,and also Ki-67≥20% as compared to the HER2-positive group and HER2 overe xpression was associated with the levels of ER and PR. Conclusion There is correlation of many clinical factors with HER2 expression.

Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2016;31(5):123-126,129
Objective To evaluate the performance of the CellaVisionTM DM96 analyzer during detection of intracellular para-sites of peripheral blood smears.Methods This study compared the detection rates of Plasmodium and Babesia species on peripheral blood smears utilizing the CellaVision DM9 6 with the rates for a routine red blood cell morphology scan.A total of 307 slides were analyzed,consisting of 142 slides positive for Plasmodium or Babesia species and 165 negative controls. Slides were blinded,randomized,and analyzed by CellaVision 9 6 and microscopy for red cell morphology scans.The technolo-gists were blinded to prior identification.Results The examination of common technician and blood professional technician, whether using optical microscope or CellaVision DM9 6 could accurately identify all the negative control,its specificity was 100%.The sensitivity of blood professionals using CellaVision DM96 was not statistically significant in the sensitivity of the laboratory and the use of light microscopy for the detection of Plasmodium parasites (χ2=0.24,0.03,0.43,P>0.05).The higher percentage of Plasmodium in blood smear,the higher detection rate of CellaVision DM9 6 .When the blood smear Plas-modium white rate greater than 1%,only 2 contain Plasmodium falciparum samples were negative for the miscarriage of j us-tice.The blood smear percentage was higher than 2% CellaVision of Plasmodium DM96 will all the blood smear 100% cor-rect interpretation.Conclusion This study demonstrates that CellaVision had the potential to detect intracellular parasites in routine screening of blood smears resource for storing images to be used for educational purposes,including training technol-ogists in the detection of intracellular parasites.

Objective To understand the differences of virulence genes and molecular typing in Campylobacterjejuni isolates from poultry products and diarrhea patients in Shenzhen.Methods According to specific primers,four virulence genes (cdtB,cadF,flaA,virB1 1 )of C.jejuni were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Molecular typing for C.jejuni strains was performed by Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).Results There were no differences of gene distribution (cdtB+,cadF+,virB1 1-)between isolates from poultry products and diarrhea patients.Two virulence genes of cdtB and cadF were found in all of ten C.jejuni strains lacking virB1 1 .The carriage rate of flaA in food-borne isolates (3/5 )was higher than those in patient isolates (2/5).In the PFGE map,the clustering analysis of C.jejuni strains showed that a total of 5 to 9 DNA bands were observed in ten strains through the digestion of Sam I.There was high homology (above 85%) between food-borne isolates and patients isolates,but the distribution of flaA in these highly homologous strains was differ-ent.Conclusion So far,C.jejuni strains with cdtB,cadF and flaA were present in Shenzhen,and showed high diversity and homology.This implies that the occurrence of diarrhea in patients with C.jejuni was associated with the contaminated poul-try products by this pathogen.Their findings can provide basic data and evidences about diarrheal disease caused by food-borne C.jejuni for the local region.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)was easily developed into hepatitis,cirrhosis and liver cancer after infecting human.Cur-rently,the traditional method of treatment of HCV was pegylated interferon and ribavirin program,which was ineffective and had poor side effects,while the new direct antiviral drugs were expensive.Therefore,looking for cheap and non-toxic side effects of treatment was the focus of current research.More and more evidence indicate that micro-Ribose Nucleic Acid (miRNAs)play an important role in the development of liver disease,regeneration and functional regulation.This review studies the relationship between miR-122 and Hepatitis C virus and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the occurring time,pathogen distribution and drug resistance in kidney transplant pa-tients with lung infection and to provide basis for clinical treatment.Methods From January 2012 to December 2015,73 kid-ney transplant patients with lung infection were collected in this study.The timing of infection occurrence,the main source of specimen,the pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance of each case were analyzed retrospectively.The drug sensitivity was analyzed by WHONET 5.4 software.Results 83.56% (61/73)cases of lung infection occurred within 1 year in kidney transplant patients,among them,53.42% (39/73)cases occurred within 6 month after kidney transplantation,and 30.14%(22/73)cases occurred within 6~12 months after surgery.The 84.93% (62/73)source of specimen were sputum and blood,and the others were alveolar lavage fluid,pleural fluid and throat swab.Totally 7 9 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated,including gram negative bacilli (49.37%),gram positive bacteria (39.24%)and fungi (11.39%).The most com-mon strains were Pseudomonas aeruginosa 12 strains (15.19%),Staphylococcus aureus 11 strains (13.92%),Klebsiella pneumoniae 10 strains (12.66%),Staphylococcusaureus 9 strains (11.39%),BaumanAcinetobacter 8 strains (10.13%), and Escherichia coli 6 strains (7.5 9%).The detection rate of strains which producing broad-spectrumβ-lactamases were 30.0% in Escherichiacolil and 20.0% in Klebsiellapneumonia,respectively.Furthermore,the detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus were 45.45% in Staphylococcusepidermidisl and 22.22% in Staphylococcusaureus,respectively. The drug sensitivity results showed that the Gram-negative bacilli were sensitive to Vancomycin,teicoplanin and rifampicin. The Gram-positive cocci were sensitive to Cefepime,meropenem and imipenem.Conclusion 83.56% (61/73)cases of lung infection occurred within 1 year in kidney transplant patients;Gram-negative bacteria were the main pathogenic bacteria in lung infection in kidney transplant patients;Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria were multi drug resistant and should be treated as early as possible.
