1.Dilution model of early pregnancy test strip for quantitative detection of serum β-hCG level by Abbot AxSYM detection system
International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(13):1774-1775
Objective To study the dilution model of the early pregnancy test strip for the quantitative detection of serumβ-hu-man chorionic gonadotropin(β-hCG)level by the Abbot AxSYM detection system and its application.Methods The detection re-sults of serumβ-hCG level in 5 612 outpatients and inpatients of the internal medicine department and the gynecology and obstetrics department during 5 years were retrospectively analyzed.In addtion,234 serum samples from the patients were collected for prelimi-narily determining the serumβ-hCG level by the early regnancy test strip and then the quantitative detection of serumβ-hCG level was detected by the Abbot AxSYM detection system.Results The retrospective analysis showed that 241 cases(4.6%)were low-age pregnant women.The qualitative screening was necessary.The screening model was successfully established.But one thing to note was that the part of serum sample needed to be taken out and put into another tube for determination.Conclusion Establishing the rational and effective dilution interpretation model of early pregnancy test strip for screening serumβ-hCG can bring the econom-ic and time benifits for the routine detection work of the Abbot AxSYM detection system.

Objective To explore the relationship between intercranial hemodynamics and nitric oxide(NO),endothelin(ET),nailfold microcirculation in patients with migraine.Methods 50 patients with migraine and 40 normal controls underwent the measurement of intracranial hemodynamics,naifold microcirculation and the level of plasma ET,NO.The results of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results The blood flow velocity of intracranial arteries was significantly higher in the patients than that in the normal controls( P

Cellulase system contains a series of complex components.There are still some problems remained unclear in cellulase and its mechanism of hydrolyzing lignocellulosic materials and its hydrolysis kinetics,so profound study is needed.The rapid development of many kinds of new interdiscipline such as biochemistry,molecular biology and gene engineering,has further clarified the structure and function of cellulase,and the relationshi Pof its gene expression and regulation,and furthermore resulted in derivative study methods about cellulase in more aspects.Cellulase system components according to synergistic catalytic mode and the sequence of the homology amino acids similarity,summarizes traditional detection methods of enzyme components,and emphasizes on research progress of various biosensors applied in detection of cellulase activity and gene expression was introduced.

Objective Aortic dissection is accute in occurrence along with fast change , which is inclined to to induce psy-chotic symptoms and affect the lives of patients .The study was to investigate the effects of healthcare cooperative intervention on pa-tients with psychiatric symptoms secondary to aortic dissection . Methods We established medical cooperation organization structure to clarify the division of responsibility along with a quick assessment form , a process chart and a green channel for emergencey treat-ment.The above method was applied to intervene 32 patients with psychiatric symptoms secondary to aortic dissection and observe the diagnosis time , the time from diagnosis to surgery , the remission time of psychiatric symptoms , the incidence of adverse events and the length of stay. Results 32 patients were diagnosed within 30min followed by emergency surgery within 30min after diagnosis, which was 1-2 hours shorter than the previous diagnosis and surgery preparation time .5-21 d after surgery , psychiatric symptoms have been effectively controlled.Extubation, falling out of bed, self-injury or injury and other adverse events did not occur .No patient died, and the average length of stay was 13.5d, which was 1.75d shorter than the length of stay of previous similar patients . Conclusion The healthcare cooperation method can quickly identify patients with psychiatric symptoms secondary to aortic dissection , prevent adverse events and shorten the length of stay .

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of balloon dilatation with ice water and room temperature water on cricopharyngeal achalasia after brainstem stroke.Methods Forty dysphagic patients with cricopharyngeal achalasia after brainstem stroke were recruited.Twenty patients assigned to experimental group were treated by balloon dilatation with ice water and low frequency elecrtrical stimulation.Twenty patients assigned to control group were treated by balloon dilatation with room temperature water and low frequency electrical stimulation.Results After treatment,36 out of the 40 patients of the two groups could eat pasty food independently without choking.Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) showed that the cricopharyngeal sphincter relaxed and the foods passed successfully when swallowing bolus,and no aspiration happened.In comparison,the level of cricopharyngeal opening,the number of patients with nasogastric tube remained and eating normally,and the scores of functional oral intake scale (FOIS) between the two groups showed no significant difference (P > 0.05).The average treatment sessions,average hospitalization days and average treatment cost in treatment group were significantly less than those in the control group(P <0.05).Conclusion Cricopharyngeal achalasia can be treated effectively by balloon dilatation with ice water or with room temperature water combined with low frequency electrical stimulation,but treatment course of balloon dilatation with ice water were significantly shorter than that of balloon dilatation with room temperature water.

Objective To examine the effect of Pu-Erh tea extract(PTE) on genes expression of lipogenesis in white adipose tissue of rats fed high fat diet.Method Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups(n=10):the control group(basal diet);the high fat group(high fat diet);the PTE group(high fat diet + Pu-Erh tea extract).Body weight and adipose tissue were measured.Expression of genes regulating lipid metabolism was assessed in adipose tissue.Results PTE supplementation prevented diet-induced increases in body weight and adipose tissue.Diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1(DGAT1),stearoyl-CoA desalurase-1(SCD1) and sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c(SREBP-1c) mRNA levels were markedly decreased in adipose tissue of rats fed PTE.Conclusion This study shows for the first time that Pu-Erh tea extract prevents diet-induced obesity,and this effect is partly mediated via a direct influence on adipose tissue.
