Objective To investigate the clinical significance of HCV antibody S /CO values in active HCV infection diagnosis in cancer patients .Methods 390 cancer patients were enrolled from Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between January 2013 and April 2015.All of the cancer patients had pathological diagnosis , including 240 males and 150 females, aged from 25 to 83 years old. HCV antibody and HCV RNA levels were detected using the Abbott i 2000 immunity analyzer and Roche LC480 real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR machine , respectively.The relationship between HCV antibody S/CO value and RNA level was analyzed in the group of HCC and non-HCC patients.Results There were obvious statistical differences in age (P=0.004), gender (P<0.001) and HCV antibody levels (P<0.001) between the group of HCC and non-HCC patients.There was no statistical difference in distribution of RNA positive rate between the two groups (P=0.528).Using ROC curve analysis, the best cut-off value to diagnose active HCV infection in cancer patients is 10.0 with sensitivity 97.6%and specificity 81.3%. According to the results of the ROC curve , the cut-off was 11.4 and 10.4 in HCC and non-HCC patients respectively.Conclusion The best cut-off value to diagnose active HCV infection in cancer patients is 10.0, either in HCC or in non-HCC.

Objective Endothelial injury plays a crucial role in forming deep vein thrombosis.This study aims to compare the effectiveness of various methods for creating rabbit femoral vein thrombotic models after the endothelial injuryso as to provide a solid experimental foundation for further research on the endothelial injury and deep vein thrombosis.Methods Forty-five rabbits were randomly divided into three groups(A,B,C),with 15 cases in each group and subjected to the endothelial injury using the methods of simple clamping,combined complete ligation,and combined incomplete ligation,respectively.The intravascular ultrasonic manifestations and local endothelial pathological changes were compared at 1,3,and 7 days after modeling.Results Significant differences in vascular diameter and Young's modulus values were observed after 7 days of modeling(P<0.05).In pairwise comparisons between the groups,the Young's modulus values in group C were significantly higher than those in groups A and B after 7 days of modeling(P<0.05).Pathological examination confirmed the presence of fibr-inoid thrombus in the blood vessels of group C on the seventh day of modeling.Conclusion Combining simple clam-ping and incomplete ligation can produce a relatively stable endothelial injury and thrombus formation.This method provides a robust experimental model for further investigation into deep vein thrombosis after the endothelial injury.
