Objective To evaluate the feasibility and utility of three different assays on early diagnosis and monitoring of neonatal congenital cytomegalovirus infection. Methods Ninety-eight neonates whose mother was CMV-IgM positive during pregnancy were examined on the 14th days after birth for CMV antigen in blood and PCR-CMV-DNA in the saliva. Three different methods were applied including CMV antigenemia assay, PCR for CMV-DNA and ELISA for serum CMV-IgM. Neonates were followed up for six months. Results (1) Forty-eight of the 98 neonates were diagnosed as congenital CMV infection including 7 symptomatic infection and 41 asymptomatic. None of the 98 subjects was CMV-IgM positive. Among the 7 symptomatic cases, the positive rates of CMV antigen and PCR-CMV-DNA were 100%(7), 71.4%(5), and 70.7%(29/41), 46.3%(19/41) in the asymptomatic group, respectively. The sensitivity of CMV antigenemia assay and PCR was 75.0% and 54.2%, respectively. The CMV antigenemia index of the symptomatic cases was significantly higher than that of asymptomatic ones [(16-52)/50 000 vs (3-31)/50 000 white blood cells, P

Objective To investigate the relationship between peripheral blood circulating follicular helper T cells and antibody-secreting B cells in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The role of circulating follicular helper T cells and antibody-secreting B cells in the pathogenesis of AS were explored. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect the levels of peripheral blood CD4 +CXCR5+ T (cTfh), CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+ T, CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+ T, CD19+ B, CD19+CD38+ B cells in 59 patients with AS (including 36 cases of active AS patients and 23 cases of inactive AS patients). In addition, twenty healthy persons were selected as the controls. Data analysis were performed by independent-sample t test, One way ANOVA analysis, Pearson's and Spearman's correlation test. Results The percentages of cTfh [(26.8 ±10.4)%], CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+T [(12.1±14.0)%], CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+T [(13.6±9.5)%], CD19+CD38+B [(80.7±13.0)%] in the peripheral blood of AS group were significantly higher than healthy controls [(15.6 ±4.5)%, (6.4 ±2.4)%, (9.4 ± 4.5)%, (68.2±13.0)%] (t=6.663, P<0.01; t=2.999, P<0.01; t=2.573, P<0.05; t=2.712, P<0.01). The percentages of cTfh in the active AS group [(30.2 ±11.0)%] were significantly higher than those in the inactive AS group [(21.4±6.5)%] and HC (t=3.444, P<0.01;t=7.004, P<0.01). The percentage of CD19+CD38+B[(85.1±10.0)%] in the peripheral blood of active AS group was significantly higher than that of the inactive AS group [(73.8 ±14.2)%] and HC (t=3.561, P<0.01;t=5.410, P<0.01). The relationship between Bath AS disease activity index (BASDAI) and the percentage of cTfh, CD19+CD38+B was a positive correlation (r=0.442, P<0.01; r=0.405, P=0.001), and significant positive correlation was observed between the percentages of cTfh and CD19+CD38+B cells (r=0.420, P=0.001). Conclusion CD4+CXCR5+cTfh cells are significantly increased in peripheral blood in AS patients with aberrant CD19+CD38+ antibody-secreting B cells, suggesting that cTfh and CD19+CD38+antibody-secreting B cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AS .

The species of bromine and iodine in aerosol samples were extracted using ultra-pure water-ultrasonic method with different time in-length and pressurizing decomposition with dilute ammonia, respectively. The efficiency of extraction and the stability of bromine and iodine species were compared under different extraction) conditions. Results showed that(1) the efficiency of extraction using pressurizing decomposition, which might destroy some unknown form of organic iodine, was relatively higher than the one by ultrasonic method;(2) I~- was unstable in added standard cellular blank filter during ultrasonic assisted extraction for long time;(3) The optimum condition was ultra-pure water-ultrasonic assisted extraction for 5 min. Moreover), the suitability of glass microfiber filter(GF) and cellular filter(CF) during extraction for bromine and iodine) species in aerosol was also compared, which indicated that GF is favorable for species analysis than CF under different kinds of extraction conditions. Based upon the extraction results, HPLC-ICP-MS approach was developed to analyze bromine and iodine) species in atmospheric aerosol. The total iodine, bromine and species in the aerosol samples collected in Hefei were then determined accordingly. The levels of total bromine and iodine) in Hefei aerosols were 883 and 231 pmol/m~3, respectively. Br~- was found to be dominant species with 68%, while BrO_3~- was undetectable. 70% of total iodine occurred as unidentified forms including soluble organic) iodine and insoluble iodine.

Group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS),namely Streptococcus pyogenes,is one of the most im-portant human pathogen.GAS can cause skin and mucous membrane superficial infectious diseases,life -threatening invasive disease,toxin -mediated diseases and immune -related diseases.Antibiotic is an effective mean to control GAS infection.The β-lactam antibiotics remain the first -choice treatment for GAS infection and the macrolides are often recommended as a replacement therapy for β-lactam antibiotics allergic patients or a means to blocking GAS exotoxin product.But with the widespread use of macrolides autibiotics,macrolide -resistant GAS spread in the world. This paper will elaborate the situation of macrolide -resistant clones.

Objective To explore the clinical and histopathological features of Barrett esophagus and its related adenocarcinoma as well as the relationship between them.Methods From January 2002 to January 2012,the clinical data of 35 patients with Barrett esophagus,850 patients with esophagus cancer and 218 patients with esophageal-gastric junction cancer were collected,and the histopathological features of all the patients and the follow-up in patients with Barrett esophagus were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 35 patients with Barrett esophagus,six cases(17.1 ％) had specialized intestinal metaplasia and all of them did not develop into esophageal adenocarcinoma or Siewert type Ⅰ esophageal-gastric junction cancer.Among 850 patients with esophageal cancer,794 cases (93.4％) were squamous carcinoma,19 cases (2.2％) were small cell carcinoma,seven cases (0.8％) were adenocarcinoma.And besides,there were adenosquamous carcinoma,basaloid squamous carcinoma,carcinosarcoma,and neuroendocrine carcinoma.Among 218 patients with esophageal gastric junction cancer,nine cases (4.1％) were Siewert type Ⅰ,150 cases (68.8％) were Siewert type Ⅱ,59 cases (27.1％) were Siewert type Ⅲ.A total of 180 cases (82.6％) were adenocarcinoma and others were signet ring cell carcinoma,mucous adenocarcinoma,squamous carcinoma,adenosquamous carcinoma,small cell carcinoma,neuroendocrine carcinoma,carcinoid and spindle cell carcinoma.Conclusions Specialized intestinal metaplasia is rare in patients with Barrett esophagus in China,and the probability of Barrett esophagus developing into adenocarcinoma is low.Barrett esophagus related adenocarcinoma such as esophageal adenocarcinoma and Siewert type Ⅰ esophageal-gastric junction cancer is rare.
