Objective To explore the expression level of serum long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)T342620 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and the clinical value of single or combined detection with al-pha-fetoprotein(AFP)for HCC.Methods Case-control studies were conducted.A total of 69 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC group),32 patients with hepatitis B(hepatitis B group),20 patients with liver cirrhosis(liver cirrhosis group),30 patients after transcatheter hepatic arterial chemoembolization(TACE)for primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC postoperative group)and 50 healthy patients(health ex-amination group)treated in the General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command of PLA from April 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the study objects.The serum total RNA was extracted and the relative expression level of lncRNA T342620 in serum was detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Combined with the clinical di-agnosis and treatment data of patients,the correlation between its expression and pathological characteristics and serological indexes was analyzed,and the specificity and sensitivity of lncRNA T342620 alone and in com-bination with AFP in the diagnosis of HCC were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The diagnostic efficacy was judged according to the area under the curve,and its application value in the diag-nosis of HCC was evaluated.The chi-square test was used for comparison between groups,and the Spearman method was used for correlation analysis.Results The serum expression levels of lncRNA T342620 in liver cancer group and postoperative liver cancer group were higher than those in healthy physical examination group,hepatitis B group and liver cirrhosis group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.001).Clinical pathological and serological index analysis revealed that as the tumor size increased,the serum lncRNA-T342620 expression level also increased.In the HCC group,the serum lncRNA T342620 expression level was negatively correlated with albumin(ALB)and the A/G ratio(P<0.05),while it was positively cor-related with α-L-fucosidase(AFU)and HBV-DNA(P<0.05).In patients from the HCC postoperative group,the serum lncRNA T342620 expression level was positively correlated with total bile acid(TBA)(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that when using serum lncRNA T342620 to distinguish,the sensitivi-ty and the specificity were 55.1%and 94.1%,respectively,indicating good diagnostic value.When combined with AFP detection,the sensitivity and the specificity improved to 91.3%and 91.2%,respectively,which were higher than those of individual indicators and had a superior diagnostic efficiency with area under the cuve(AUC)of 0.954 compared to AUC of AFP or lncRNA-T342620 alone(0.906,0.758),and the differ-ences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Serum lncRNA T342620 may be a new serological index for the auxiliary diagnosis of HCC.
2.A consensus on the management of allergy in kindergartens and primary schools
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(2):167-172
Abstract
Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.
