Objective To analyze the IgG variances between workmen and workwomen in x-ray room,and to provide reference for the assessment of staff in the department of radiology.Methods The staff in the department of radiology who recieved health examination from Janurary 2012 to Janurary 2016 were divided into the male group and the female group.The health examination data of 75 staff in each group were slected and the basic immunization level of the two groups were tested.And then compared the the IgG variances between the two groups.The analysis were conducted by two means of grouping,namely the working age of staff (less than 10 years,between 10 and 20 years, and over 20 years)and the age of staff (aged 21 to 30,aged 31 to 50,aged 51 to 78).Results The level of IgG in the female group were higher than that in the male group when their working age were less than 10 years,and the difference was significant (P <0.05).Both in the male group and the female group,the level of IgG in staff aged 31 to 50 were lower than the others,and the difference was significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The level of IgG in female staff were higher than that in the male staff in different age stages,and it increased with the increase of working age.To analyze the IgG variances of staff the in x-ray room could provide reference for assessment of physiclal status.

Objective:To explore the application of scenario simulation and rapid film reading training in the standardization of cervical vertebra DR examination in radiology department.Methods:Using the method of scene simulation in the examination room to take DR films of cervical vertebra, two senior technicians in charge evaluated and guided the deficiencies of junior technicians from the aspects of patient check, exposure conditions, body position placement, film printing, inspection safety and radiation protection. Every morning, DR images of cervical vertebra were randomly selected and read quickly, and the junior technicians should quickly browse the images within one minute and make quality control evaluation. Then the senior technician in charge pointed out the shortcomings of the evaluation and related improvement methods. After that, the technical specification manual of cervical vertebra DR was compiled based on the deficiencies and problems found by each technician, and 200 patients aged 18-55 years, without abnormal movement and no internal fixation before and after the establishment of standardization were randomly selected in group A (before standardization) and group B (after standardization). The image quality and repetition projection rate of group A and group B before and after the standardization were compared. SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the data.Results:The image quality score of group B (8.83±0.33) was higher than that of group A (8.45±0.30), and the repetition projection rate of group B (2%) was lower than that of group A (9%), with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Through the training mode of rapid film reading and scenario simulation, the standardization of cervical vertebra DR examination technology suitable for the situation of the department has been established, which effectively solves the problem of abstraction in the technical teaching of radiology department. The standardization establishment plays an important role in standardized training, for which, the technicians can quickly grasp the work process of the department and the corresponding examination technology during participating in the standardization establishment and training process.

Objective To explore disease-associated proteins in the serum of patients with inflammatory bowel disease by serum proteomic analysis combined with mixed sampling strategy. Methods The serum proteins from 8 healthy adults and 8 patients with inflammatory bowel disease who had been admitted to the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from March 2007 to June 2008 were collected. Two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) was used to define patterns of protein expression after the serum proteins were cross-labeled with cariant CyDye. Proteins that showed differential expressions were analyzed by matrix-assisted laser dcsorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. The 2D-DIGE images were analyzed using DeCyder V6.0 software, and the differences between the groups were analyzed by t-test. Results Maps of 2D-DIGE of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and healthy adults were obtained. Fifty-six spots of proteins with abnormal expression were detected in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, and 30 proteins were identified using mass spectrometry and database retrieval. The 30 proteins included haptoglobin, complement factor B, apelipoprotein A- Ⅱ precursor and GTPase K-ras. Conclusions Serum proteomic analysis combined with mixed sampling strategy can clearly detect the difference in the expression of serum proteins between patients with inflammatory bowel disease and healthy adults. The differentially expressed proteins may provide new biornarkers for investigating the biological behavior of inflammatory bowel disease.

A rapid and accurate determination method of lipids in microalgae plays a significant role in an efficient breeding process for high-lipid production of microalgae. Using low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), we developed a direct quantitative method for cellular lipids in Chlorella protothecoides cells. The LF-NMR signal had a linear relationship with the lipid content in the microalgae cells for both dry cell samples and algal broth samples (R2 > 0.99). These results indicated that we could use this method for accurate determination of microalgal lipids. Although LF-NMR is a rapid and easy lipid determination method in comparison to conventional methods, low efficiency would limit its application in high throughput screening. Therefore, we developed a novel combined high throughput screening method for high-lipid content mutants of C. protothecoides. Namely, we initially applied Nile red staining method for semi-quantification of lipid in the pre-screening process, and following with LF-NMR method for accurate lipid determination in re-screening process. Finally, we adopted this novel screening method in the breeding process of high-lipid content heterotrophic cells of C. protothecoides. From 3 098 mutated strains 108 high-lipid content strains were selected through pre-screening process, and then 9 mutants with high-lipid production were obtained in the re-screening process. In a consequence, with heterotrophical cultivation of 168 h, the lipid concentration could reach 5 g/L, and the highest lipid content exceeded 20% (W/W), which was almost two-fold to that of the wild strain. All these results demonstrated that the novel breeding process was reliable and feasible for improving the screening efficiency.

Objective To investigate the immediate effects of lower limb with open chain weight-adding on joint position sense and gait symmetry in stroke patients. Methods From January, 2016 to January, 2017, 39 stroke patients were included. Their joint position sense and gait symmetry were compared before and after weight-adding. The joint position senses of active reproduction of active positioning (ARAP) and passive reproduction of passive positioning (PRPP) were assessed during lower limb straight leg raise. The gait symmetry was also as-sessed and three indexes were recorded including the symmetry of foot rotation angle, step length and percentage of single leg support phase. Results After weight-adding, the position sense of PRPP did not improve (t=0.832, P=0.832), nor of the symmetry of foot rotation an-gle (t=-0.704, P=0.483) and percentage of single leg support phase (t=0.381, P=0.702);the position sense of ARAP improved (t=3.158, P=0.011), as well as the symmetry of step length (t=2.022, P=0.041). Conclusion The lower limb with open chain weight-adding could im-prove the active joint position sense and symmetry of step length.

Liver metastasis is the most common cause of death for patients with colorectal cancer.Surgical resection is the first choice for colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLMs),but only 10％-25％ of them are resectable.Patients with unresectable CRLMs are usually treated with systemic chemotherapy and/or local ablative therapies as alternative options.The safety and efficiency of thermal ablation therapies have been improved in recent years.The 5-year survival rate of patients underwent thermal ablation is higher than that of patients underwent chemotherapy for treating CRLMs.A consensus for thermal ablation of colorectal liver metastasis was provided by international experts panel on 2013.The recommendations and indications of thermal ablation for CRLMs were considered and documented according to the literature review based on radiofrequency ablation with long-term follow-up.The main content of the consensus from international experts for thermal ablation of colorectal liver metastasis were reviewed in this article.

Breast cancer has become the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate among women, of which human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer accounts for about 15%-20%. With the development of anti HER2 targeted drugs, the survival and prognosis of HER2 positive breast cancer has significantly benefited. About 45%-55% of breast cancer patients have low HER2 expression, and these patients usually do not receive anti HER2 treatment. However, there is a significant difference between the biological behavior and prognosis of breast cancer with low HER2 expression and breast cancer with zero HER2 expression. It is helpful to differentiate and adopt corresponding treatment strategies to improve the prognosis of patients. At present, there have been many advances in targeted therapy of breast cancer with low HER2 expression, which provides a useful reference for precision treatment of breast cancer with low HER2 expression.
