The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the protective effect of continuous potassic warm blood perfusion on myocardium during warm blood extraeorporeal circalation. Warm blood cardiopulmonary bypass and continuous potassic warm blood perfusion for myocardial protection were used in 39 cases undergoing coronary bypass. 15% potassium chloride was mixed with oxygenated warm blood for continuous myocardial perfusion to induce cardiac arrest. The average nasopharyngeal temperature was maintained at 33.5℃. The warm blood was delivered at a rate of 150 to 200 ml/min; 15% potassium chloride was pumped at a high flow rate of 120 to 160 ml/h and then at a low flow rate of 15 to 20ml/h when electrocardiogram showed straight line. The results showed that 38 cases (97.4%) had spontaneous return of normal sinus rhythm shortly after removal of the aortic crossclamp. Myocardial positive inotropic agents were seldom used and hemodynamics kept stable. Cardiac functions showed fast recovery and there were not serious complications such as perioperative myocardial infarction, low output syndrome and arrhythmia. It is indicated that continuous potassic warm blood perfusion for myocardial protection may have a remarkable results to prevent myocardial anoxemia and reperfusion injury during CPB.

Objective The C-terminal domain of rodent Muc3 is proteolytically cleaved.This study is to explore the relationship between N-linked oligosaccharides in SEA module and the proteolytic cleavage within C-terminal domain of rodent Muc3.Methods Truncated rodent Muc3 C-terminal domains with complete SEA module(p20SEA) were produced by site-directed mutagenesis to insert a stop code in the required place.Proteins were detected by pulse/chase and immunoprecipitation method,or SDS/PAGE and Western blot.Inhibition of glycosylation of the expressed protein was performed by using tunicamycin.Results Muc3 C-terminal domain was posttranslationally cleaved to produce a V5-tagged 30 000 extracellular glycopeptide and a Myc-tagged 49 000 membrane-associated glycopeptide.Treatment with tunicamycin to transfected COS-1 cells led to the abundant production of 60 000 uncleaved and whole-length Muc3 C-terminal domain,the 30 000 N-terminal fragment shifted to 22 000 and 49 000 C-terminal fragment shifted to 41 000 after deglycosylation.The truncated Muc3 C-terminal domain containing complete SEA module but without the following residues led to production of 36 000 uncleaved and whole-length protein,and 30 000 cleaved product shifted to 22 000 after deglycosylation.Conclusion Proteolytic cleavage in both complete rodent C-terminal domain and complete SEA module without the following residues were partially inhibited by tunicamycin.

Cervical cancer is the second most common malignant tumor of women all over the world.Infection with oncogenic human papilloma virus ( HPV) types is the most important risk factor to cause cervical cancer.The viral genome of HPV consists of three regions:the early region (E), the late region (L) and the long control region (LCR).The early proteins (E1, E2, E4, E5, E6, E7 ) play vital roles in the continuous virus expression and replication in cells.Among these proteins, E6 protein has the closest relationship with the tumorogenesis and development of cervical cancer.Many mechanisms of the HPV encoded early protein E6 in in-ducing cervical cancer have been characterized, including degradation of p53 protein, activation of telomerase, interaction with PDZ protein, disturbance of cellular signaling pathways, inhibition of immune recognition and blockage of cellular apoptosis.HPV E6 pro-tein may be a preferred target in prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of common inflammatory markers in patients with infectious diseases. Methods One hundred sepsis patients, 100 viral infection patients,100 pulmonary tuberculosis patients and 100 gonorrhea patients were analyzed retrospectively. The contents of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), haptoglobin (HP), ceruloplasmin (CER), α1-acid glycoprotein (α1-AAG), α1-antitrypsin (α1-AAT), white blood cell count (WBC) and erythrocyte sedimetation rate (ESR) were measured. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, Youden's index,positive and negative likelihood ratios and total coincidence rate were calculated respectively. Results The area under the ROC curve, sensitivity, specificity, Youden's index and positive likelihood ratios,positive predictive value and total coincidence rate of PCT in sepsis patients were 0. 895, 0.84, 0.92,0.76, 10.50, 0.91 and 0.88, respectively, which were superior to CRP, HP, CER, α1-AAG, α1-AAT, WBC and ESR. Conclusions PCT is a better inflammatory reactive parameter than other parameters currently applied in practice and may serve as a rapid and sensitive test in the early stage of severe bacterial infections.

Objective To evaluate the safety of influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) immunized alone or in combination in elderly people and to raise the awareness of vaccine safety among the elderly. Methods From October 2014 to September 2015,454 eld-erly people who were over 60 years old and immunized with influenza vaccine and PPV23 alone or in combi-nation were recruited in this study and divided into five groups. Local and systemic reactions occurred within one month after vaccination were recorded. Results (1) Incidences of adverse reactions among all subjects and people vaccinated with influenza vaccine alone,domestic PPV23 alone,imported PPV23 alone,domes-tic PPV23 combined with influenza vaccine and imported PPV23 combined with influenza vaccine were 10.13%,5.35%,11.63 %,9.52%,17.24% and 12.63%,respectively. Local reaction,injection site pain and mild reaction were the common reactions to vaccination. All reactions occurred within seven days and most of them occurred within 30 minutes to one day after vaccination(82.61%). All subjects recovered within seven days and most of them recovered within one day (84.78%). (2) Compared with the people immunized with domestic or imported PPV23 or influenza vaccine alone,those immunized in combination had higher incidences of reactions to vaccination. Among the three single vaccination groups, domestic PPV23 group had the highest incidence of reactions,followed by imported PPV23 and influenza vaccine groups,but no significant difference was found among them(P>0.05). The incidence of responses to influenza vaccine combined with domestic PPV23 was higher than that to influenza vaccine combined with imported PPV23, but no significant difference was found between them (P>0.05). (3) In each group,women,people aged≥70 years or with chronic diseases had a higher incidence of responses to vaccination than men,people aged 60 to 69 years or without chronic diseases,respectively (P>0.05). Conclusion Immunization with influ-enza vaccine and PPV23 alone or in combination is safe and tolerable in elderly people regardless of gender, age,or whether they are suffering from chronic diseases or not. Both domestic and imported PPV23 have the feature of good safety.

Objective To explore the expression and diagnostic value of circulating microRNA(miR)-126-3p in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Multi-centred miR chips and sequencing data were col-lected to investigate the differential expression of circulating miR-126-3p in NSCLC.In order to evaluate the comprehensive expression level of circulating miR-126-3p in the cycle,the standardized mean difference(SMD)and summary receiver operating characteristic(sROC)curve were calculated,and the area under curve(AUC)of sROC curve was analyzed.Sensitivity,specificity,positive negative likelihood ratio were ex-plored,and the expression of circulating miR-126-3p was further comprehensively analyzed in combination with tissue.By using miRDB,starBase v2.0,and TargetScan 7.1,combined with up-regulated differentially expressed genes in NSCLC,potential target genes of circulating miR-126-3p were screened using complemen-tary sequence method.Results Based on six circulating miR datasets,the expression level of circulating miR-126-3p was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that circulating miR-126-3p had strong diagnostic efficacy(AUC＞0.5),and the comprehensive expression of circulating miR-126-3p was lower in 199 cases of NSCLC group than in the control group(SMD=-1.46).The sROC curve showed that circulating miR-126-3p distin-guished the NSCLC group from the control group with high accuracy(AUC=0.91),Egger's test showed no publication bias(P＞0.05),with sensitivity and specificity 0.80,and positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio were 5.37 and 0.18,respectively.In addition,a comprehensive analysis of the circulation and tissue of 1 320 NSCLC samples from 26 datasets showed that circulating miR-126-3p expression was lower in NSCLC group than in the control group(SMD=-2.07).The sROC curve showed that low-expression circu-lating miR-126-3p had high accuracy in distinguishing between the NSCLC group and the control group(AUC=0.97).In addition,potential target genes ADAM9 and SLC7A5 were screened for circulating miR-126-3p,and their expression in NSCLC group was higher than that in the control group.Conclusion Low ex-pression of circulating miR-126-3p in the circulation may be an important biomarker for high-precision screen-ing of NSCLC.
