Objective To establish an automatic warning program which accommodates to the test procedures in medical laboratory centerand and to put into operation.Methods Based on laboratory information management system (LIS),automatic warning program was established,which composed of maintenance of warning rules,feedback of vulnerabilities in rules,solutions of feedback targets and evaluation of ride-effectiveness.The results of performance were assessed after operation for six months in Guangzhou Kingmed Medical Laboratory Center.Results An automatic warning program containing 13 kinds of rule templates was successfully established.The multi-point warning program via asynchronous structure for six specialized testing procedures was realized.A total of 1 523 warning rules were included in the rule bank and 24 000 reports were verified on average each day.The average passing rate of reports was 70.2％ and the passing rate of single test was 83.9％.The approval time for reports was reduced by 10 to 40 minutes compared with that without using the automatic warning program.The efficiency for report approval was improved by 25 percent.Conclusion Automatic warning program may ensure the high quality of test reports,ease pressure on staff and improve work efficiency.

Objective To explore the activation of PI3k/Akt pathway of serum deprived IEC-6 cells by the serum of rats exposed to single radiation,burn or combined injury.Methods The IEC-6 cells were cultured in serum deprived media for 24 h,and stimulated by the serum of rats exposed to single radiation(~(60)Co ? ray at dose of 9 Gy),single burn(exposure to 5 kW tungsten-halogen light till whole body Ⅲ degree burn) or combined injury(burn first and radiation),and the cells stimulated by the serum from the normal rats and serum starved cells served as the control group.The total proteins of different group cells were extracted and the levels of phosphorylation of Akt were tested by Western blotting.The differentially expressed low mass proteins in the serums were detected by SELDI proteinchip technology,and primarily analyzed by related software as well as bioinformatic methods.Results The level of phosphorylation of Akt in the IEC-6 cells stimulated by serum from rats exposed to single radiation,single burn or combined injury was higher than in the cells stimulated by the serum from normal rats,in which the burn serum caused the highest level.As compared to burn rat serum,the serum of radiation and combined injury had 13 and 6 differentially expressed protein peaks respectively.Conclusion All the serums from rats exposed to different kinds of damage agents could activate the PI3K/Akt pathway of IEC-6 cells efficiently.The special components of burnt rat serum may contribute to the highest effect on the phosphorylation of Akt.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between sleep and poor vision of primary and middle school students aged 7-18 years, and to provide evidence for further student eye health promotion. Methods: Data was collected from the Chinese National Survey on Students’ Constitution and Health in 2014. A total of 173 555 primary and middle school students were examined with the 5 m standard visual acuity chart. Sleep, homework time, milk consumption and exercise duration were collected by questionnaire survey. Results: Only 5.60% of students aged 7-18 years had enough sleep, and the poor vision rate among students with insufficient sleep was higher than that of students with sufficient sleep(69.11% vs 67.76%), and the difference is statistically significant(χ2=7.87，P=0.01). After adjusted for other related factors, it showed that students’ sleep was closely related to poor vision(P<0.01), and adequate sleep was the protective factor of students’ poor vision (OR=0.92，95%CI=0.88-0.96). Conclusion Adequate sleep is conducive to preventing the occurrence of poor vision of primary and secondary school students in China. We should take measures to ensure that students get enough sleep.

Objective: To explore the association between watching TV and watching computer and visual acuity among children and adolescents, and to provide reference for Chinese students to choose electronic products in life and study. Methods: Subjects were from 2014 Chinese National Surveys on Students’ Constitution and Health(CNSSCH). In this survey, 213 857 Han students participated. The visual acuity results of 5 m visual acuity chart examination were recorded, and the time of completion of homework and the time of different video behaviors were investigated. Results: The incidence of reduced vision acuity among Chinese students increases with the time spent on homework and computer(χ2=3 748.99, 949.39, P<0.01).And it decreased as time spent at the computer increased(χ2=2 725.08, P<0.01). It was found that the incidence of poor vision of students who watched TV for a long time was lower(61.81%), followed by those who watched TV and watched computer for the same time(70.62%), and those who watched computer for a long time(79.03%). The results were statistically significant(χ2=4 862.43, P<0.01). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the students who watched TV for a long time, the students who watched TV for the same time and watched computer for a long time were more likely to have poor vision(OR=1.17, 1.21, P<0.01). Conclusion When using electronic products, the preference of watching large electronic screens is conducive to reducing the impact of video behavior on students' eyesight.

Objective To observe the expression and transcription of MART-1 in human uveal melanoma cell lines 92-1,92-2,Ocm3,Me1285,as well as the possible effect ofmethylation on its expression.Methods The cell lines 92-1,92-2,Ocm3 and Me1285 were cultured routinely and tested for MART-1 expression at protein and mRNA level by FACS analysis,Western blot and RT-PCR respectively.Methylation status of the MART-1 promoter region in all the cell lines were checked by Southern blots of DNA digested with methylation sensitive restriction enzymes.Results As observed in FACS analysis and Western blot,92-1,92-2 and Ocm3 were MART-1 positive cell lines while Me1285 was negative cell line.Consistent with protein analysis,92-1 and Ocm3 cell lines showed MART-1 specific PCR products and there was no product in Me1285 cell line in RT-PCR.The MART-1 positive cell lines,92-1,92-2,and Ocm3 show methylation at the MspⅠ/Hpa Ⅱ site,and the Nru Ⅰ sites of all positive cell lines are not methylated.The MART-1 negative cell line Me1285 shows hyperrnethylation at the Nru Ⅰ site and the Msp Ⅰ/Hpa Ⅱ site is not methylated.Conclusions MART-1 could be expressed in human uveal melanoma cell lines 92-1,92-2 and Ocm3.The change of methylation status of MART-1 promoter may correlate with the transcription of MART-1.

OBJECTIVETo screen out differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in the plasma of children with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), to determine the expression of miR-9-1 in plasma and to preliminarily evaluate the significance of miR-9-1 as a biomarker in MMA.

METHODSPlasma was obtained from 17 MMA children, 10 hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) children without MMA (HHcy group), and 10 normal controls. Of 17 MMA children, 12 had HHcy (MMA+HHcy group), and 5 had no HHcy (MMA group). The differentially expressed miRNAs were screened out by miRNA microarray. Differentially expressed miR-9-1 was selected, and plasma miR-9-1 levels were determined by RT-PCR. Urine was collected from MMA patients who received vitamin B12 treatment, and plasma miR-9-1 levels were determined by RT-PCR after treatment.

RESULTSThe miRNA microarray analysis showed that 26 miRNAs were differentially expressed, among which 16 miRNAs (including miR-9-1) were down-regulated over 2 times, while 10 miRNAs were up-regulated over 2 times. The MMA+HHcy , MMA and HHcy groups had significantly down-regulated miR-9-1 compared with the normal control group (P<0.01). The patients who showed a good response to vitamin B12 treatment had significantly increased plasma miR-9-1 levels, without significant difference compared with the normal control group.

CONCLUSIONSPlasma miR-9-1 is significantly down-regulated in MMA patients, but it is significantly up-regulated after vitamin B12 treatment, suggesting that miR-9-1 may act as a biomarker in monitoring the progression of MMA.
