Objective To investigate the correlation between thrombelastogram (TEG)parameters and plasma D-dimer (D-D) and platelet aggregation rate (PAgT)in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods From January 2015 to Jan-uary 2016,120 patients with ACI (ACI group),and 60 healthy subjects (healthy group)were enrolled in the study.The TEG parameters were detected by thromboelastography,including blood coagulation time (R),blood clotting time (K),rate of blood clotting (αangle),coagulation comprehensive index (CI)and the maximum intensity of blood clotting (MA).Blood coagulation indexes also were detected,including prothrombin time (PT),fibrinogen (FIB,detected by automatic coagulation analyzer),plasma D-D (detected by colloidal gold method)and PAgT (detected by blood aggregation tester).Results R (5.36±0.95 min),K (2.34±0.98 min)and PT (11.88±1.67 s)in the ACI group were shorter than those in the healthy group (6.20±1.28 min,2.87±0.87 min,12.40±1.82 s),(t=4.962,3.547,1.911,all P<0.05).Theαangle (61.65± 7.84)degrees,CI (-0.21±1.11),MA (58.94±6.14 mm),D-D (0.34±0.08 mg/L),PAgT (66.9±6.8)% and FIB (4.41±0.96 g/L)in the ACI group were higher than those in the healthy group [(56.02 ± 6.94)degrees,(-1.50 ± 1.30),(53.86±7.85 mm),(0.24±0.06 mg/L),(55.4±7)%,(2.87±0.88 g/L)],(t=4.714,6.209,5.583,8.550, 10.592,7.039,all P<0.05).In ACI group,D-D,PAgt and the TEG parameters (αangle,CI,MA)were significantly nega-tively correlated (r=-0.481,-0.470,-0.504,-0.488,all P<0.05).D-D,PAgt and the TEG parameters (αangle,CI, MA)were significantly positively correlated (r=0.338,0.395,0.427,0.391,0.436,-0.482,all P<0.05).Conclusion TEG parameters can reflect the severity of ACI to some extent,and they were significantly correlated with plasma D-D and PAgt.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of serum Haptoglobin (Hp)levels in cervical cancer patients.Methods Serum Hp (with immunoturbidimetry method),SCC,CA125 (with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay method)level were detected in 45 patients with cervical cancer,37patients with cervical benign disease and 41 female healthy controls.Re-sults Serum Hp level of cervical cancer patients (mean:1.69 g/L)was strongly higher than the level of cervical benign dis-ease patients (mean:0.90g/L)and healthy subjects (mean:0.69 g/L)(t=3.26,4.42,P=0.001,0.000,respectively).Hp level rises highly in the early stage of cervical cancer.The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCROC)of Hp was 0.853 which was higher than SCC (AUC=0.751)and CA125 (AUC=0.494).The sensitivity of Hp,SCC,and CA125 were 87%,49% and 29% respectively.The specificity of Hp,SCC and CA125 were 68%,88% and 83% respective-ly.Three tumor markers combined together could produce a positive detection rate of 93%.Conclusion The detection of Hp has clinic significance on diagnosis of cervical cancer,and it’s possible to become a serum tumor marker.

Objective To observe the significance of tumor abnormal protein (TAP)in the therapeutic monitoring of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Peripheral blood from 30 NSCLC patients were collected to make smears at the moment of pre-treatment,half a month,one month,3 months and 6 months after therapy.TAP was detected by coacervation method.The maximum area of condense was applied to estimate the level of TAP.Thirty healthy subj ects were chose as con-trol group.Results The positive rate of TAP in NSCLC patients was 86.67%,and 3.33% of healthy subjects were positive in TAP.The difference was statistically significant (χ2=140.3,P<0.01).The condense area of TAP in patients withⅢ~Ⅳ stage of NSCLC [411(89,562)mm2]was significantly higher than those withⅠ~Ⅱ stage NSCLC [267(31,407)mm2]. The condense areas in both of two groups went down after treatment.A significant difference of condense area appeared inⅠ~Ⅱ stage of NSCLC patients a month after therapy as well as Ⅲ~Ⅳ stage of NSCLC patients half a month after treat-ment.The condense areas went to their lowest level 3 months after therapy.ForⅠ~Ⅱ stage patients,the condense area fell to 21% compared to that before treatment,but for patients withⅢ~Ⅳ stage of NSCLC,37% of pre-treatment condense ar-ea were detected.TheⅠ~Ⅱ stage of NSCLC patients had a greater decrease in condense area of TAP than theⅢ~Ⅳ stage patients by 3 months after treatment (χ2=6.22,P<0.05).Conclusion Detection of TAP in peripheral blood had a high sensitivity for NSCLC,and is able to monitoring the treatment effect.

Objective To explore the correlation between resistins rs2161490and rs1423096 genotype with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)in Guangdong.Methods Collected 178 blood of newly diagnosed T2DM in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2015 to November 2015 as the patient group and 192 blood of healthy physi-cal examination as the control group.Analysis of the two groups of gene distribution frequency was to reach the genetic equi-librium,comparative two gene loci frequencies of resistin rs2161490 and rs1423096 in case group and control group was sta-tistically significant,and compared the distribution frequency of rs2161490 locus T→C and rs1423096 locus A→G between the patient group and the control group.Then made a logistic regression analysis:analysing the risk two loci each genotype of resistin rs2161490 and rs1423096 to T2DM,adjust of the gender and age,and the changes of the risk of the two variables. Comparative blood lipids biochemical indexes between case group and the control group,mode the correlation analysis be-tween TG,CHOL,HDL-C and LDL-C levels of serum lipids in patients with rs2161490 and rs1423096 each genotypewere performed.Results The sample was consistent with Weinberg Hardy’s law of inheritance,which was representative of the population,comparing two gene loci frequency of resistin rs2161490 and rs1423096 of case group and control group:com-parinng CT,TT,CC of rs2161490 genotype,there was no statistically significant difference (P=0.834,>0.05),and com-parinng AA,AG,GG of rs2161490 genotype,there was no statistically significant difference (P=0.960,>0.05).Each gen-otypes with T2DM risk analysis,there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).Adjusting the risk change after the two variables,gender and age,there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05);TG,CHOL,HDL-C and LDL-C in each of the genes expression levels correlation analysis,there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).Con-clusion Analysis results showed that the frequency of two loci all genotypes in the case group and control group were no statistical significance (P>0.05).The risk of two loci gene type of rs2161490 with rs1423096 and type 2 diabetes were be-fore and after the covariate adjustment had no statistical significance (P>0.05 ).Each genotype of rs2161490 with rs1423096 and lipid levels had no statistical significance (P>0.05).Thus infer that two genotypes is not risk for type 2 dia-betes genes in guangdong area.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA)plays an important role in the regulation of normal immune system.The altered activ-ity of serum ADA could associate with some autoimmune diseases(AID).Various studies abroad have found the elevated ac-tivity of serum ADA compared with healthy controls in many kinds of AID such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis(RA),et al (P<0.05).Many studies foused on the correlation of altered activity of serum ADA with the disease severity,but there is still controversy.To explore the diagnostic value of serum ADA in AID,make a review a-bout the application research progress of ADA in several AID.
