Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum tumors M2 pyruvate kinase (TuM2-PK),carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA),CA199,CA724,CA125 and CA242 in colon cancer.Methods Serum levels of TuM2-PK,CEA,CA199,CA724,CA125 and CA242 in 231 patients with colon cancer,105 patients with colon benign lesion diseases and 166 normal controls were measured by the ELISA and electrochemiluminescence assays.The operation working characteristic curve (ROC) and the logistic regression-ROC were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of tumor markers for colon cancer individually and in combination.The models of logistic regression analysis and partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were established to diagnose patients with colon cancer based on the optimal panel of serum tumor markers.Resalts Concentrations of serum TuM2-PK,CEA,CA199,CA125 and CA724 in the colon cancer group are higher than those in the colon benign diseases group and the normal controls (P<0.05).The area under the operation working characteristic curve (AUC) of CA199 is the highest 0.79 [95% confidence interval (95%CI),0.75-0.83] at the cutoff value of 69.5 U/L with 64.1% of sensitivity and 89.7% of specificity.The AUC of combined serum tumor markers based on logistic regression analysis is higher than those in individuals,of which serum (CEA+ CA199+TuM2-PK) is the optimal [AUC=0.89,95% confidence interval(95%CI),0.86-0.92].The diagnostic accuracy of logistic analysis and PLS-DA model for colon cancer is 82.7% and 77.5%,and for colon cancer is 93.7% and 95.6%,respectively.Conclusion The combination of serum tumor markers CEA,CA199 and TuM2-PK is more suitable as a diagnostic model for the screening of colon cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of low molecular weight heparin calcium (MvH) in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)complicated with pulmonary heart disease. Methods 128 AECOPD patients with pulmonary heart disease from January 2016 to December 2016 in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group in equal number by random digit table with EXCEL2007. Apart from the basic treatment like anti infection,oxygen,expectorant,maintenance of water and electrolyte balance and cardiotonic treatment ,the observation group was treated with MvH. The two groups were compared in terms of pre-and post-ventricular end diastolic volume(EDV),end systolic volume(ESV),right ventricular ejection fraction(RVEF),pulmonary artery acceleration time(AT),arterial oxygen pressure(PaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),pH value,whole blood viscosity at low shear the whole blood viscosity at high shear rate,plasma viscosity,hematocrit,plasma D- dimer(D-D). Results After treatment,EDV and ESV of the observation group were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05)and RVEF and AT were higher than the control group(P < 0.05). PaCO2 was lower than that of the control group(P < 0.05). PaO2,pH values were higher than those of the control group(P < 0.05). After treatment,the whole blood viscosity,whole blood low shear viscosity at high shear rate,plasma viscosity,hematocrit, plasma level of D-D of the observation group were all lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Subcutaneous injection with MvH to treat the patients with AECOPD complicated with pulmonary heart disease can improve the blood rheology and improve heart function and blood gas level.

Objective:
To assess the effect of combined treatment using cell scaffold and human fibroblast growth factor for small soft tissue defects of digits caused by trauma.
Methods:
From May 2012 to September 2016, twenty cases of small soft tissue defect of digits were repaired with cell scaffold combined with recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor. The average defect area was 2.5 cm2. Wounds were debrided and repaired with artificial dermis. Every 2 or 3 days the dressings were changed and the wounds were treated externally with fibroblast growth factor until cell scaffolds have been removed 3-4 weeks after surgery.
Results:
The group of 20 cases was followed up for 2-24 months. Wounds were healed with satisfactory appearance and no recurrence of wound or obvious hypertrophic scar was observed. No obvious functional problem was found in interphalangeal motion.
Conclusions
The method of repairing wound with cell scaffold combined with human fibroblast growth factor is simple and it result in healing of wounds with high quality.It provides a new choice for repairing wound in digits.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a typical neurodegenerative disease, which is clinically manifested as amnesia, loss of language ability and self-care ability, and so on. So far, the cause of the disease has still been unclear and the course of the disease is irreversible, and there has been no cure for the disease yet. Hence, early prognosis of AD is important for the development of new drugs and measures to slow the progression of the disease. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a state between AD and healthy controls (HC). Studies have shown that patients with MCI are more likely to develop AD than those without MCI. Therefore, accurate screening of MCI patients has become one of the research hotspots of early prognosis of AD. With the rapid development of neuroimaging techniques and deep learning, more and more researchers employ deep learning methods to analyze brain neuroimaging images, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for early prognosis of AD. Hence, in this paper, a three-dimensional multi-slice classifiers ensemble based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and ensemble learning for early prognosis of AD has been proposed. Compared with the CNN classification model based on a single slice, the proposed classifiers ensemble based on multiple two-dimensional slices from three dimensions could use more effective information contained in MRI to improve classification accuracy and stability in a parallel computing mode.
