Objective To compare the significance of DNA-associated autoantibodies to cell membrane(cmDNA)in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)detected with indirect immunofluorescence on human B lymphoma cell line Raji and pmmyelocytic line HL60.Methods Indirect immunofluorescence assay both on cell line Raji and HL60 was used to measure anti-cmDNA antibodies in sera of 306 SLE patients.192 patients with other rheumatic diseases and 50 healthy controls.Results Indirect immunofluorescence assay on cell line Raji was used to measure anti-cmDNA antibodies.72.5% SLE and 10.4% other rheumatic diseases were positive for anti-cmDNA,but negative in 50 blood donors(P<0.01).Indirect immunofluorescence assay on cell line HL60 was used to measure anti-cmDNA antibodies,76.1% SLE and 16.7% other rheumatic diseases were positive for anti-cmDNA,but negative in 50 blood donors(P<0.01).The sensitivity of anti-cmDNA were 72.5%and 76.1%,respectively.The specificity of anti-cmDNA was 91.7% and 86.8%,respectively.There was no significant difference in sensitivity and spocificity(P>0.05).The methods of culture,freeze and resuscitation on the two cells were similar.but cell line Raji was easier to resuscitate than cell line HL60.Observing with fluorescence microscope.we find that cmDNA was expressed on the both cells and the staining was stronger on cellline Raji than HL60.Conclusion Anti-cmDNA antibody has high positivity which is one of the most valuable marker in the diagnosis of SLE.We recommend to measure anti-cmDNA antibodies with indirect immunofluorescence assay on cell line Raji rather than HL60.

ObjectiveTo compare the significance of anti-cmDNA antibody in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients detected with IIF on human's B lymphoma cell line Raji and promyelocytic line HL60.The diagnostic value of anti-cmDNA antibody in SLE was also explored.MethodsThree hundred and six patients with SLE were included in this study.As control groups,we included 192 patients with other rheumatic diseases and 50 healthy controls.The testing method for anti-cmDNA antibody was set up.The assessment of the significance of anti-cmDNA antibody in SLE detected with IIF on cell line Raji and HL60 was carried out andthe diagnostic value of anti-cmDNA antibody in SLE was investigated.ANA and antidsDNA antibody were measured by IIF at the same time.Anti-Sm was measured by immuno-diffusion andWestern blotting.AnuA was tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The statistical methods used in this study including McNemar X2 test,Spearman related test and Logistic regression analysis.Results The fluorescence brightness of Raji cell line was stronger than HL60 cell line.There was no statistically significant difference in the sensitivity and specificity of anti-cmDNA antibody in SLE detected with IIF with Raji or HL60 cell lines (P＞0.05).The sensitivity of anti-cmDNA antibody detected with IIF on Raji cell line was higher than anti-dsDNA antibody and anti-Sm antibody(P＜0.01),while the specificity of anti-cmDNA antibody was similar to anti-dsDNA antibody (P＞0.05) and was lower than anti-Sin antibody (P＜0.01).The sensitivity of anti-cmDNA antibody was similar to AnuA(P＞0.05) and the specificity was lower than AnuA (P＜0.01).The sensitivity of ANA was higher than anti-cmDNA antibody (P＜0.01) and the specificity was much lower than anti-cmDNA antibody(P＜0.01).The sensitivities of anti-dsDNA antibody,anti-Sm antibody and AnuA were much higher when combined with anti-dsDNA antibody than any one antibody only (P＜0.05).Anti-cmDNA antibody was correlated with mucosa ulcer in SLE patients(OR=2.343,P=0.029).The ESR of SLE patients was also correlated with anti-cmDNA antibody(OR=l.031,P=0.012).Anti-cmDNA antibody was not correlated with SLEDAI (r=0.070,P=0.600).ConclusionRaji cell line is better than HL60 cell line in detecting anti-cmDNA antibody with IIF.Anti-cmDNA antibody has higher sensitivity and specificity in SLE.Combined detection of anti-cmDNA antibody and other autoantibodies can further improve the diagnostic accuracy of SLE.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the effect of surgical staging and using craft bone with vancomycin for the treatment of calcaneal fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2006 to December 2012,13 patients with open calcaneal fractures were treated including 9 males and 4 females with an average of 35.2 years old ranging from 23 to 66. All cases were emergency cases. According to Sanders classification of calcaneal fractures, 2 cases were type II, 7 cases were type III, 4 cases were type IV. According to Gustilo-Anderson soft tissue injury classification, 8 cases were type II, 2 cases were type III A, 2 cases were type III B, 1 case were type III C. Firstly a thorough debridement or VSD procedures were applied,secondly calcaneal fracture were treated with open reduction, plate fixation and bone graft complex with antibiotics. Based on clinical examination, radiographic evaluation, and American Foot and Ankle Surgery Society (AOFAS), ankle function were evaluated after operation.

RESULTSOpen wounds were headed after dressing and repairing,, lateral calcaneal wound were healed during the first period. All patients were followed up for 6 to 36 months (means 14.5 months). Fracture healing time was 14 to 20 weeks (means 16.2 weeks). Last follow-up AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score was (80.0 +/- 7.4) ranging from 55 to 95.

CONCLUSIONFor patients with open fractures, through reasonable clinical evaluation, staging operation, using bone graft with antibiotics can reduce the incidence of postoperative wound infection and promote fracture healing.

Medical parasitology education has been facing some difficulties because it is a course of wide range lacking clini?cal cases and concerned specimens of parasites currently. In addition its relationship with life is not closely enough. All these reasons may impact the effect of class education negatively. Therefore it is important to increase the vitality of parasitology edu?cation and diversify the instructional mode by using the resources from Internet. In recent years the Discovery Channel has up?loaded a documentary Monsters Inside Me online. This documentary is high professional and closely linked with parasitology. It maintains numbers of clinical cases about parasitic diseases. Each episode is about 3 minutes and shortly enough to be intro?duced into class teaching. However this resource has not been fully used in domestic temporally. We found that direct introduc?tion of the documentary into class teaching can enrich teaching forms to attract learning interest of students and finally improve the teaching effect of class. Above that another popular documentary A Bite of China involves many related knowledge points of parasitology. The appropriate usage of the knowledge can build up close linkage between book and life which is extremely help?ful to give students a deep impression of parasitology. In brief it is our strong recommendation to introduce the documentary Monsters Inside Me into class.

Objective To study the intra-and extra-hepatic collateral pathways in various types of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) using liver acceleration volume acquisition (LAVA) enhanced MRI.Methods The clinical data and imaging findings of 240 patients with BCS were collected and analyzed.The types of BCS confirmed by DSA.Intra-and extra-hepatic collateral pathways were studied using LAVA enhanced MRI with a 3.0T scanner.Correlations of the intra-/extra-hepatic collateral pathways with the types of BCS were analyzed using the Chi-square test.Then,the degrees of correlation were calculated by the Cramet correction coefficient of contingency.Results Among the 240 patients,DSA confirmed 60 patients to have hepatic vein occlusion,39 patients to have inferior vena cava occlusion and 141 patients to have both hepatic vein and inferior vena cava occlusion.MRI demonstrated dilated accessory hepatic veins in 157 patients,intra-hepatic communicating branches in 69 patients,inferior phrenic veins in 43 patients,superficial epigastric veins in 135 patients,umbilical veins in 94 patients and hemiazygos/azygos veins in 195 patients.Accessory hepatic veins and hemiazygos/azygos veins as collateral pathways were associated with the types of BCS (x2 =30.239,P ＜ 0.05;x2 =51.295,P ＜ 0.05,respectively).The degrees of correction were 0.355 and 0.462,respectively.Accessory hepatic veins as collateral pathways were most common in the mix type,accounting for 79.4％.Hemiazygos/azygos veins were most common in the inferior vena cava occlusion type and the mix type,accounting for 92.3％ and 91.5 ％,respectively.Conclusions Accessory hepatic veins and hemiazygos/azygos veins as collateral pathways were associated with the types of BCS,while the intra-hepatic communicating branches,inferior phrenic veins,superficial epigastric veins and umbilical veins were not correlated with the types of BCS.LAVA may help to diagnose and determine the best choice of treatment for the various types of BCS.
