The array CGH technique (Array Comparative Genome Hybridization) has been developed to detect chromosomal copy number changes on a genome-wide and/or high-resolution scale. It is mainly used in human genetics and oncology. Generally PCR amplified bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) or cDNAs have been spotted on the arrays as probes. Recently, however, oligonucleotide arrays designed with more flexibility and provide much higher resolution with high sensitivity, have been successfully explored in stead of BAC array CGH and can save considerable time and efforts. There will be a gradual transition from BAC array CGH to oligonucleotide array CGH in the coming years. The combination of oaCGH and other high-through put analysis can lead to discoveries of a host of novel oncogenes, tumor suppressors as well as tumor drug resistance genes. Some major platforms of oaCGH concerning their spatial resolution, optimal probe length, sensitivity, specificity and application in recent years were compared.

Objective To evaluate the vaccine effectiveness ( VE) in children who received one dose of live attenuated varicella vaccine. Methods A questionnaire-based 1 ∶ 2 matching case-control study was conducted during May, 2015 to April, 2016 to evaluate the VE based upon the demographic data, vacci-nation status and clinical symptoms of 127 children with varicella and 254 healthy subjects under 12 years old. Results Compared with the healthy subjects, 83. 46% of the patients with varicella were immunized with one dose of varicella vaccine, which was lower than that of the control group (90. 55%) (χ2=4. 08, P<0. 05). The overall protective rate of one dose of varicella vaccine reached 64. 29% (95% CI:42. 00%-78. 00%). Of the 127 cases of varicella, 83. 46% were breakthrough cases immunized with one dose of var-icella vaccine. Primary cases presented more severe clinical symptoms than breakthrough cases. The longer the interval between vaccination and varicella-zoster virus infection was, the more severe the breakthrough cases would be. Conclusion Varicella vaccine is effective for preventing varicella, but the VE of one dose of varicella vaccine is limited. A two-dose varicella vaccination strategy should be proposed in our country as soon as possible.

Objective:To explore the influence of ulinastatin combined with thymosinα1 on the immune function of patients with a-cute brain injury. Methods:Sixty-eight cases of patients with acute brain injury were divided into the control group and the observation group randomly with thirty-four ones in each. The control group was given the routine treatment, and the observation group was given ulinastatin combined with thymosinα1 additionally. After the 1-day, 3-day, 7-day and 14-day treatment, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and the other serum inflammatory cyto-kine levels, and CD4 +, CD8 +, CD4 + /CD8 +, HLA-DR and cellular immune index levels were detected in the two groups. The prog-nosis effects were evaluated by the prognostic classification of brain injury, and the adverse reactions were analyzed in the two groups as well. Results:After the 1-day treatment, there were no significant differences in the serum inflammatory cytokines and immune param-eters between the groups (P>0. 05). After the 3-day, 7-day and 14-day treatment, serum TGF-β1, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF- α levels were higher than those on the first day after the treatment, and TGF-β1 showed an increasing trend with time extension, while IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and CD4 + and CD4 + /CD8 +rose first and then decreased. After the 3-day, 7-day and 14-day treatment, serum IL-10 and CD4 +levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and IL-6 and TNF-αlevels were signifi-cantly lower than those in the control group (P<0. 05). After the 3-day and 14-day treatment, CD4 + and CD8 + levels in the observa-tion were significantly higher than those in the control group, and after the 7-day and 14-day treatment, HLA-DR levels were signifi-cantly higher than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The prognosis effect of the observation group was better than that of the con-trol group with statistically significant difference (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Ulinastatin combined with thymosin α1 is used to treat the patients with acute brain injury with better cellular immune function improvement and prognosis effect, which is worthy of clinical popu-larization and application.

Objective To analyze the correlation of hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),homocysteine(Hcy) and D-dimer(D-D) with pathological change degree of coronary heart disease(CHD),and to investigate the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of joint detection in CHD.Methods A total of 100 cases of CHD patients(experimental group) and 100 healthy subjects(control group) were enrolled,.Patients of the experimental group were divided into four groups on the basis of complications,including simple CHD group(32 cases),amalgamating hypertension group(46 cases),amalgamating diabetes group(9 cases),amalgamating hypertension diabetes group(13cases).The levels of hs-CRP,Hcy and D-D in the five groups were detected and analyzed.Results The levels of hs-CRP,Hcy and D-D in the experimental group were all higher than the control group(P<0.05).Logistic regression confirmed that three indexes were the independent risk factors for CHD.Each indicator has a certain clinical significance to the diagnosis and treatment of CHD but the value of Hcy could be better.Joint detection of hs-CRP and Hcy could be an ideal combination of detection,and the three joint detection might not be suitable for early diagnosis and treatment of CHD.The levels of hs-CRP and D-D in simple CHD group,amalgamating hypertension group,amalgamating hypertension diabetes group were all higher than amalgamating diabetes group(P<0.05).Conclusion hs-CRP,Hcy and D-D could be the independent risk factors of CHD,and joint detection might be with important clinical value for diagnosis of CHD.

Objective To evaluate the CT findings of pancreatic carcinoid tumors.Methods The CT imaging data of five patients with pancreatic carcinoid tumors confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results The tumors ranged in maximum diameter from 2.0 to 11.0 cm with a mean of 6.4 cm. On unenhanced CT,the tumors were slightly hypodense relative to the pancreatic parenchyma,homogenous in 2 cases,and heterogenous in 3 cases.One tumor showed calcification.After contrast material injection, the solid component of the tumor showed marked heterogenous enhancement on the arterial phase scanning in 3 cases,and mild heterogenous enhancement in 2 cases.The degree of tumor enhancement was less intense than the surrounding pancreatic parenchyma due to necrosis of various degree,which led to the cystic appearance of the tumor in 1 ease.On the portal phase scanning,all tumors showed marked enhancement similar to that of the pancreatic parenchyma.On the delayed phase scanning,the degree of enhancement was more intense than the surrounding pancreatic parenchyma in 1 case.Liver metastases with retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy and peripancreatic vessels invasion were seen in 1 case.No dilatation of the biliary tract or pancreatic duct was present.Conclusion The CT features of pancreatic carcinoid tumors included infrequent dilatation of the biliary tract or pancreatic duct and unusual vascular involvement,calcification within the mass,marked enhancement similar to that of the surrounding pancreatic parenchyma during the portal phase scanning and more intense during the delayed phase scanning.
