Journal of Chinese Physician 2016;18(3):422-424
Objective To explore the significance of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),carbohydrate antigen (CA) 199,CA242,and CA724 combined detection in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.Methods The levels of CA724,CA242,CA199,and CEA in 112 cases of colorectal cancers,74 cases of colorectal benign lesion group,and 128 cases of healthy physical examination group were detected by chemiluminescence method.Results The levels of CEA,CA199,CA242,and CA724 in sera were significantly higher than those in colorectal cancer group (P < 0.05),and the difference between two groups was not significant (P > 0.05).In the clinical diagnosis of colon and rectal cancers,the sensitivity,specificity,and detection rate of CEA were 52.3%,93.5%,and 76.8%;CA199 was 46.9%,91.9%,and 73.6%;CA242 was 56.3%,94.6%,and 79.0%;and CA724 was 49.2%,93.0%,and 75.2%.The combined detection of CEA,CA199,CA242,and CA724 were 76.6%,96.2%,and 87.6%.Conclusions In the diagnosis of colorectal cancer,combined detection of serum CEA,CA199,CA242,and CA724 has more clinical value.than single detection,and can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and detection rate.

Objective The expression of TGF-β1 and IL-10 in the grafts of inbred mice with rejection of heart transplantation were studied and the interaction of them in the rejection of heart transplantation in inbred mice investigated.Methods Allografts were divided into 2 groups:control group (n =70),cyclosporin A-treated group (CsA group,n =70).Hearts from inbred BABL/c mice were transplanted into a cervical location in the other recipients and the survival time of the allografts was observed.The local expression of TGF-β1 and IL-10 was detected at day 1,3,7,11,14,21 by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCT) respectively.Results The survival time of the allografts was (20.3 ± 1.7) days in control group,and(32.2 t 3.4) days in CsA group (P < 0.01).The levels of the two cytokines expression were up-regulated in CsA group.The up-regulation of TGF-β1 was closely correlated with the survival of the grafts.Conclusion The expression and production of the two cytokines is up-regulated probably cause of administ ration of cyclosporin A,and favorite to the heart graft survival,and action of these two cytokines are probably interrelated.

Objective:To evaluate the short-term precision and accuracy of bone mineral density (BMD) measured with quantitative CT (QCT) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in multi-centre clinical research with a European spine phantom (ESP).Methods:From January 2016 to April 2020, totally 40 CT scanners (12 Siemens from Germany, 12 Philips from Netherlands, 9 GE from US, 5 Toshiba from Japan, 2 United Imaging from China) and 53 DXA instruments (34 GE Lunar from US, 14 Hologic from US, 5 Medlink from France) used in multi-centre in China were enrolled. The CT equipment came from 31 centers and DXA equipment from 32 centers.Using Mindways QCT software, the ESP was scanned 10 times on each instrument with repositioning using standardized spine protocols with QCT and DXA. The BMD value of the three lumbar vertebrae with low, medium, high density and the mean BMD value were measured. Accuracy was assessed by comparing BMD values measured on each device with the actual value of the phantom. Short-term precision was calculated as the root-mean-square standard deviation (RMS-SD) and root-mean-square standard deviation coefficient of variation (RMS-%CV) for the repeated measurements. The repeated measures variance analysis was used to compare the differences in BMD between different devices.Results:The differences in BMD values were statistically significant among different CT and DXA devices.The ranges of the accuracy measured by different QCT devices were 1.20% to 7.60% for Siemens, -1.83% to 0.20% for Philips, 1.18% to 13.20% for GE, -0.12% to 3.55% for Toshiba, -1.65% to 6.32% for United Imaging, 6.59% to 21.34% for GE Lunar, -6.65% to 5.45% for Hologic, and -6.97% to -0.68% for Medlink, respectively. The RMS-%CV of all vertebral BMD values measured by QCT and DXA ranged from 0.38% to 3.85%. The RMS-SD of QCT was 0.54 to 2.45 mg/cm 3, of DXA was 0.009 to 0.037 g/cm 2. The RMS-%CV values of each vertebral body measured by different QCT and DXA devices decreased with the increase of BMD, while the RMS-SD values showed the opposite tendency. Conclusions:Based on ESP, the QCT and DXA devices have significant differences in lumbar spine BMD measurement. Comparing the measurement results among different devices requires cross-calibration. Overall, the accuracy and short-term precision are within a reasonable range, which can be used for clinical follow-up observation. The short-term precision error and accuracy error range of QCT in evaluating the density of ESP were slightly smaller than those of DXA.

OBJECTIVETo observe the serological features of hepatitis G virus (HGV or GBV) in selected population of Shaanxi, Qinghai and Xinjiang Provinces (region).
METHODSEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine IgG antibody against GBV (anti-GBV IgG) in serum specimens of 1469 individuals from the 3 provinces (region).
RESULTSThe positivity rate of serum GBV-IgG antibody in ethnic minorities (4.11% in Tibetan, 5.36% in Mongolian, 4.55% in Uigur, 4.00% in Hui population) was slightly higher than that in Han population (1.36%-1.73%), but the differences were not significant (P>0.05). The positivity rate of serum GBV-IgG antibody in drug abusers (11.30%, 34/301) was remarkably higher than that of the normal population (2.44%,18/736) (P<0.01). The positivity rate of serum GBV-IgG antibody in blood donors was 1.02%-7.68%.
CONCLUSIONSThe positivity rates of serum GBV-IgG antibody among ethnic groups in the 3 provinces (region) had no significant differences; blood-borne transmission seemed to be an important transmission route of GBV, therefore supervision of blood donors and drug abusers should be intensified.

Objective To evaluate the role of multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in improving the diagnosis and treatment of human herpes virus-6B (HHV-6B) encephalitis after liver transplantation. Methods MDT consultation was delivered for one rare case of HHV-6B encephalitis after liver transplantation to establish an effective individualized treatment regime. Results On the 16 d after liver transplantation, the patient developed headache, and suddenly presented with unresponsiveness, unconsciousness, coma complicated with involuntary limb twitching on the 18 d. Blood ammonia level was increased. Brain CT scan showed cerebral ischemic changes. Electroencephalography prompted the epileptic seizure. After MDT consultation, the possibility of nervous system infection after liver transplantation was considered, and medication therapy was given to control the epileptic seizure. Cerebrospinal fluid examination via lumbar puncture hinted increased intracranial pressure. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) of the cerebrospinal fluid demonstrated that the patient was tested positive for HHV-6B nucleic acid, which confirmed the diagnosis of HHV-6B encephalitis. The immunosuppressant regime was adjusted, intravenous ganciclovir was given for antiviral treatment, and active interventions were delivered to prevent and treat relevant complications. Epileptic seizure disappeared after 4 d, and neurological symptoms were significantly alleviated after 2 weeks. After 4-week antiviral treatment, the patient was tested negative for virology testing, and the neurological function was restored to normal. Conclusions HHV-6B encephalitis rarely occurs after adult liver transplantation, which is primarily associated with the virus reactivation after use of immunosuppressant. MDT pattern may be employed to deepen the understanding of the patient's condition, formulate more effective individualized treatment regime, and enhance the clinical efficacy and safety.
