Objective To estimate the diagnostic value of circulating tumor cell detection for non-small cell lung cancer.Methods A Non-intervention clinical study was conducted in this research.From October 2014 to April 2015, totally 162 NSCLC who presented at Thoracic Surgery Department, 119 benign pulmonary disease and 52 healthy individuals were collected from Shanghai Chest Hospital.Folate receptor ( FR) based polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) method was used to detect the circulating tumor cell ( CTC) level, CEA and CYFRA21-1 was detected by the flowcytometry fluorescence luminance method, SCC was detected with Chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay.The differences among groups were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test( multi group comparison) and the Mann-Whitney U test( two group comparison) , and the chi-square test was used in the positive rate comparison;the Receiver Operating Characteristics ( ROC) curve was established.Results The median level of CTC in NSCLC patients was 11.90 Units/3 ml, which was significantly higher than those of benign pulmonary disease ( 6.72 CTC Units/3 ml ) and healthy individuals (5.82 CTC Units/3 ml,χ2 =125.990, P<0.01).Areas Under Curve ( AUCs) of ROC curve for NSCLC was 0.853 2(95% CI: 0.809 5,0.896 9).The cut-off value for discriminating NSCLC with benign pulmonary disease/healthy people was 8.74 CTC Units/3 ml with sensitivity being 77.16% and specificity being 90.06%.The positive rate of CTC in Stage I NSCLC patients was 68.7%, which was much higher than that of the combination of tumor markers(χ2 =32.98,P<0.01).Conclusion With relatively high sensitivity and specificity, the detection of circulating tumor cell may has a clinical value of application and extension.

Objective: To observe the effect of ivabradine (IVA) on atrial and ventricular monophasic action potential duration (MAPD) and its proarrhythmic action at presence of sea anemone toxin-II (ATX-II) in isolated rabbit heart modelin vitro. Methods: The perfusion of isolated heart from female New Zealand white rabbit was conducted by Langendorff method in vitro. Left atrial and left ventricular endo- , epi-cardial action potential were recorded when pacing with ifxed frequency of 350 ms (in correspondence with the heart rate of 171 times/min) to observe the effect of IVA alone and ATX-II (3 nmol/L) with IVA on MAPD90. In addition, to observe the action of IVA alone and ATX-II with IVA on proarrhythmia when IVA reducing the heart rate to autonomous cardiac rhythm as (156±10) times/min. Results: IVA at (3-10) μmol/L prolonged atrial and ventricular endo- , epi-cardial MAPD90 by (15.9 ± 2.0) ms, (31.5 ± 4.0) ms and (23.9 ± 3.0) ms (n=6,P<0.01), respectively. ATX-II at 3 nmol/L prolonged atrial and ventricular MAPD90 by (36.5 ± 5.0)ms and (19.9 ± 3.0) ms, (19.5 ± 4.0) ms (n=6,P<0.01) respectively. With ATX-II treatment, IVA at (6-10) μmol/L decreased atrial MAPD90 by (14.4 ± 4.0) ms (n=6,P<0.01), it induced atrial arrhythmia. With 3 nmol/L of ATX-II treated ventricle, IVA at (3-10) μmol/L obviously prolonged endo- and epi-cardial MAPD90 by (36.2 ± 7.0) ms and (27.5 ± 5.0) ms(n=6,P<0.01), respectively. IVA didn’t increase ventricular beat-to-beat variability and transmural dispersion of MAPD90 no matter with or without ATX-II treatment, no ventricular arrhythmia occurred. Conclusion: IVA prolongs both atrial and ventricular MAPD, with increased late sodium current, IVA may induce atrial arrhythmia but not ventricular arrhythmia in experimental rabbits in vitro.

Objective To investigate the growth curve,breeding rate,and blood physiological and biochemical parameters in Npc1 gene mutant mice (Npc1-/-) for providing theoretical evidence in research on Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) patient.Methods 1) The body mass of Npc1-/-,Npc1+/-,and Npc1+/+ mice (n=120;60♀,60♂) was measured from 0 to 77 days;(2) As Npc1-/-mice were born only by the mating Npc1+/-mice,the breeding rate of Npc1+/-mice was counted here from the 1st to 4th generation;(3) The blood physiological and biochemical parameters were measured on both Npc1-/-and Npc1+/+ mice at 60 days.Results 1) Compared with the wild type controls,the body weight of Npc1-/-mice was progressively increased up to 7 weeks and then decreased,and died around 11 weeks.The body weight of the Npc1+/-and Npc1+/+ mice was increased as time went on.After 4 weeks,the male mice showed a higher weight gain than the females;(2) The generations of Npc1+/-mice had no significant difference in mating-parturition interval,litter size,weaning litter and the number of male and female (P>0.05),but the weaning rate of the 2nd generation was significantly higher than that of the 1st generation (P<0.05);(3) The hematological parameters showed a significant difference only in mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean peroxidase index (MPXI) between the Npc1-/-and Npc1+/+ mice (P<0.05).No significant difference was found in other hematological parameters (P>0.05).Among the biochemical parameters,aspartate aminotransferase (AST),glucose (GLU),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),potassium (K) and copper (Cu) had a significant difference between the Npc1-/-and Npc1+/+ mice (P<0.05).Conclusions 1) The growth curves of Npc1-/-,Npc1+/-,and Npc1+/+ mice are different due to different genotype and sex;(2) The reproduction rates of Npc1+/-mice have no significant difference among different generations;(3) The blood physiological parameters (MCH,MPXI) and biochemical parameters (UREA,AST,GLU,LDH,K,Cu) are significantly different between Npc1-/-and Npc1+/+ mice.

Objective To investigate the impact of blood glucose level on the recurrence of liver cancer after laparoscopic surgery. Methods The clinical data of 98 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma from January 2012 to January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated by laparoscopic radical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients were divided into elevated blood glucose group (n = 23) and control group (n = 75) according to whether the fasting blood glucose was ≥6.1 mmol/L. The recurrence of liver cancer in 1 year and 2 years after operation was compared. The factors influencing the recurrence of liver cancer were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results The recurrence rates were 47.82% and 21.33% respectively in the patients with elevated blood glucose and the control group. The recurrence rates were 73.91% and 36.00%respectively in the 2-year postoperative patients with blood glucose and 1 year and 2 years. The recurrence rate was higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that fasting blood glucose was high, Child-Pugh grade B, intraoperative blood transfusion, lymphatic invasion, high clinical pathology stage, postoperative alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) high, no postoperative adjuvant therapy (P < 0.05). Conclusion The recurrence rate of patients with elevated liver cancer after laparoscopic surgery is high, and fasting blood glucose is high, Child-Pugh grade is B grade, blood transfusion is high, there is lymphatic invasion, high clinical pathology stage after AFP high, no postoperative adjuvant therapy for its postoperative recurrence of risk factors, should strengthen the monitoring of high-risk patients, reduce postoperative recurrence rate.

Objective To explore the effect of supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) combined with early enteral nutrition (EN) for enhanced recovery in postoperative liver cancer patients.Methods From June 2015 to June 2018,liver cancer patients admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into two groups with 47 patients receiving SPN combined with early EN in the study group and 45 patients receiving early EN in the control group.Results There were no significant difference in bilirubin recovery,liver enzyme recovery,postoperative exhaust and defecation time and complication rate between the two groups (P > 0.05).In study group prealbumin (PAB) synthesis recovered faster (F =7.89,P =0.006),albumin use was significantly lower (t =-2.29,P =0.0024),and postoperative hospital stay was shorter (t =2.46,P =0.016).Conclusion In ERAS patients with liver cancer,the combination of SPN and early EN provide reasonable energy support to improve nutritional status and accelerate patient recovery.
