Objective To study the expression characteristics of serum antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in lymphoma patients as well as their target antigens in cells, and to explore the possible relationship between lymphoma and ANA. Methods Indirect immunofluorescence was used to detect the ANA expression level in 100 cases of lymphoma and 200 population-based controls. Then the relationship between lymphoma and ANA was investigated by means of 1:2 matched with logistic regression models. Results The positive rate of ANA in lymphoma patients was higher than that in the control group [28 % (28/100) vs. 7 % (14/200)], with a statistical difference (OR= 13.66, 95 %CI 4.10-45.57, P< 0.01). The positive rate of ANA in females was higher than that in males, and the positive rate of ANA became higher with age. Lymphoma group had more complex fluorescence pattern and wider target antigen spectrum compared with the control group. Conclusions Detection of ANA in lymphoma may help in the early diagnosis,prognosis and treatment. ANA target antigen spectra of lymphoma patients are different from those in healthy people as well as patients with autoimmune disease. Further efforts should be made to identify the target antigens as well as their biological roles and clinical significances.

OBJECTIVETo investigate midterm follow-up results on Asian femoral intramedullary nail in treating segmental and comminuted femoral fractures.

METHODSBetween June 2011 and October 2012,16 patients with segmental and comminuted femoral fractures were treated with minimally invasive reset and Asian femoral intramedullary nail under extension table. Among them, there were 10 males and 6 females aged from 21 to 49 years old with an average of 34.5 years old; the time from injury to operation ranged from 3 to 24 d with an average of 9.1 d. There were 6 cases were type C1,2 cases were type C2 and 8 cases were type C3 according to AO classification. X-ray of femoral segment at 3,6 and 12 months after operation were applied for evaluating fracture healing. Harris score of hip joint and HSS score of knee joint were used to evaluate postoperative function.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 24 to 36 months with an average of 28.4 months. Operative time was from 88 to 112 min with an average of 90.7 min; blood loss ranged from 150 to 200 ml with an average of 188.75 ml; the time of fracture healing was from 5 to 9 months with an average of 5.4 months. All incision were healed at stage I. No loosening, breakage of internal fixation and displacement of fracture were occurred. There were no significant differences in Harris score of hip joint at 3, 6 and 12 months after operation (F = 0.07, P = 0.893 > 0.05), 10 cases obtained excellent results, 5 good and 1 moderate. There was no obvious meaning in HSS score of knee joint (F = 0.08,P = 0.876 > 0.05), 9 cases obtained excellent results, 6 good and 1 poor.

CONCLUSIONAsian femoral intramedullary nail could treat segmental and comminuted femoral fractures by using variety of less invasive ways,which has advantages of less trauma, quick recovery of function and satisfied midterm following-up results. But long term following-up effects remains to be seen.

Objective To study the possibility of direct identification of pathogens from positive blood cul-tures by methods of separation gel tube -centrifugation.Methods 216 cases of positive blood culture were collected from 2015.7 to 2015.12.The bacterias were purified from blood culture bottle by separation gel tube.After washing 2 times,identified by MALDI -TOF MS.At the same time,traditional culture,smears and identification were done. Compared the results of identification by two methods.Results 216 cases of positive blood culture were single bacte-rial infection.By Gram stain,89 strains were Gram positive,119 strains were Gram negative and 8 strains were fungal spores.190 cases of positive blood culture were identified by MALDI -TOF MS,it concluded 67 Gram positive strains,111 Gram negative strains,4 anaerobe strains and 8 fungus.Compared with traditional culture,the coincidence rate reached up to 87.9%,Gram positive strains 78.8%,Gram negative strains 93.2%,anaerobe strains 100.0%and fungus 100.0%.Conclusion It takes less than 30 minutes purified from blood culture bottle by separation gel tube.And the time of identification is shorter than traditional culture.This method is good for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the effects of under-expression of large tumor suppressor 1 (LATS1) on activation of Hippo signaling pathway and differentiation, proliferation, migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs) of micein vitro.Methods mMSCs of C57BL/6 mice were divided into normal control (MSC) group, empty vector control (MSC-GFP) group, LATS1-over-expressing (MSC-LATS1) group, empty vector without LATS1 shRNA control (MSC-shControl) group and LATS1-under-expressing (MSC-shLATS1) group. Lentiviral vectors with activated,inactivated LATS1 (the key molecule of Hippo signaling pathway) modifications and empty vectors were constructed and were used to infect mMSCsin vitro. The transduction efficiencies mediated by the lentiviral vectors were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of LATS1 was quantified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the protein expressions of LATS1, YAP (p-YAP), 14-3-3 were quantified by Western Blot to evaluate the activation of Hippo signaling pathway. Osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of mMSCs were evaluated through measurement of Runx2, OSX and C/EBPα, PPAR-γ mRNA by qRT-PCR, as well as Alizarin Red S and Oil red O staining. Proliferation of mMSCs was evaluated using methy thiazdyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The scratch test and Transwell chamber test were used to analyze the horizontal and vertical migration ability of mMSCs.Results The transduction efficiencies mediated by the lentiviral vectors were 94.74%-96.10%.

Objective To observe the clinical characteristics and prognosis in children with high take -off coronary artery.Methods The clinical characteristics,laboratory examinations and prognosis were retrospectively ana-lyzed in 49 children with high take -off coronary artery who had been admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from April 2009 to December 201 2.Results Among 49 medical records of children with high take -off coronary artery,34 cases were male and 1 5 cases were female,with a mean age of (9.28 ±4.42)years old,and the youngest patient was 1 3 months old,and the oldest patient was 1 7 years and 2 months old.The 64 -section multidetector CT angiography of all patients showed one or both coronary arteries originated from 1 .0 cm higher than the junction area of sinus and aorta,including 38 high take -off of the left coronary artery,7 high take -off of the right coronary artery and 4 high take -off of both coronary arteries.The chief complaints of the patients included chest pain (22 cases,44.90%),chest tightness(1 3 cases,26.53%),declining of exercise tolerance(7 cases,1 4.29%),fatigue (5 cases,1 0.20%),palpitation(3 cases,6.21 %),syncope(1 case,2.04%).Electrocardiogram(ECG)of those pa-tients showed ST -T changes,atrioventricular block,sinus tachycardia,pathological Q -wave,proiosystole and bundle branch block.Ultrasonic cardiogram(UCG)indicated 1 4 patients with the enlarged left ventricle,including 2 patients with ejection fraction lower than 60%.After 1 0 days hospitalization,the anesis of chest pain and chest tightness were significantly different statistically(P <0.05),but there was no significant difference in ECG and UCG.Thirty -nine out of 49 children were followed for 1 year.After 3 months,6 patients with ST -T problem showed normal ST -T segment. After 6 months,1 0 patients with ST -T problem showed normal ST -T segment.After 1 year,1 7 patients with ST -T problem showed normal ST -T segment.Conclusions High take -off coronary artery is a rare malformation of the coronary artery,which can cause myocardial ischemic,leading to multiple clinical manifestations and may result in ECG changes and the left ventricle enlargement.High take -off coronary artery can be confused with myocarditis and myocar-dial lesion clinically.Patients receiving systemic treatment may have their symptoms released,but ECG and UCG may not relieve in a short term.Patients with high take -off coronary artery need long -term observation.
