0.05).Conclusion:QDs show no effect on cytobiological behavior of living MG-63 cells.

Objective: To investigate the expression ofVEGF-Aand the correlation with the sentinel lymph nodes lymphangiogenesis and its metastasis in non-small cell lung cance(rNSCLC).Methods: The expression of VEGF-A was detected in 65 patients with NSCLC by SP immunohistochemistay. The expression of LYVE-1 was detected by immunofluorescence. The new lymphatic vessel density was counted by LYVE-1 and analyzed with clinicopathologic parameters. Results: The positive rate of VEGF-A was 72.3%(47/65),which was positively correlated with sentinel lympha nodes metastasis(r=0.453,P

This study was designed to assess the immune protective effects of the vaccine strain of a precocious line of Eimeria necatrix with different doses and at different immunization times. The immunizations had a negative effect on weight gains of chickens to a certain degree but could be compensated during the “compensatory growth period” after immunity was established in the chickens. The number of oocysts excreted was positively correlated with the immunization dose. All the immunized chickens, whether they were immunized once or twice or immunized with different doses of sporulated oocysts, were able to resist attack from 1x105 virulent sporulated oocysts of E. necatrix. The lesion scoring showed that no significant difference existed in the chicken groups immunized with different doses (300 and 600) of sporulated oocysts. However, a difference existed in the immune homogeneity established in the different immunized groups, and two artificial immunizations were superior to one artificial immunization, indicating that two could extend the duration of oocyst excretion and allow more chances for the immunized chickens to become repeatedly infected.

Objective To investigate the relationship of change in hemodynamics of portal system and liver reserve of Chile-Pugh classification in patients with hepatocirrhosis.Methods Color Doppler ultrasound were applied to detect the inner diameter,average velocity of blood flow,quantity of blood flow of portal vein and splenic vein for 173 patients with post-hepatitis hepatocirrhosis(61 of Child grade A,53 of grade B,59 of grade C),which were sub- sequently compared with the healthy controls.Results In patients with hepatocirrhosis,the inner diameter of portal vein and splenic vein were widened,the average velocity of blood flow of portal vein and splenic vein were slowed down and the quantity of blood flow of splenic vein was increased,and the worse the damage of liver function was, the more obvious the change became.Conclusion The change in hemodynamics of portal system varies with the damage in liver function in patients with hepatocirrhosis.Measuring the hemodynamics of portal system is significant in determining the severity of the disease and the prognosis.

Microorganism distributes in the organs of human body which connect with external environment, especially those organs in the gastrointestinal tracts, and it also plays a fundamental role in the physiopathology of the host's body. Because the microorganism is very small and has a great variety, it is difficult to reveal the significance of microorganism in the human physiopathology comprehensively and deeply. With the development of molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics and other disciplines, the microbiome research will be more possible and easier. There are two key contents of microecology. One of these is to identify and quantify the diversity of microorganism, and the other is to reveal activity and the physiopathological function of microorganism in the host. Microbiome research methods, therefore, can be summarized as the traditional detection methods, construction of gene library, the genetic fingerprint analysis and molecular hybridization techniques and so on.

After a description of the concept and meaning of big data, the application of big data in biomedical field was investigated, the changes in medical library functions were analyzed, the challenges to medical libraries were pointed in terms of their data, hardware infrastructures, software technologies, talents and service modes, and how to respond to the big data in medical libraries was proposed from the aspects of strengthening the external collabo-ration, co-developing cloud computing center, intensifying the construction of related organizations and talents, and changing the service modes.

Objective To investigate the incidence of abnormal thyroid function in pregnant women and explore the significance of thyroid function screening in early pregnancy. Methods We randomly selected 630 cases of pregnant women who received routine inspection in the obstetric clinic in our hospital, and gave them five items of thyroid function screening besides routine check at the same time. Then we statistically analyzed the test results, and followed up 61 cases of pregnant women with hypothyroidism or subclinical thyroid function (hypothyroidism) to learn the treatment and adverse pregnancy outcomes,so as tto explore the correlation between hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Results In 630 cases of pregnant women,there were 8 cases of hyperthyroidism (1.3%),61 cases of hypothyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism (9.7%),including 5 cases of hypothyroidism (0.8%), 56 cases of subclinical hypothyroidism (8.9%) .There was statistically significant difference in TSH and FT4 between hypothyroidism group and normal control group ( <0.01) .There was statistically significant difference in TSH,FT4 and TT4 between subclinical hypothyroidism group and normal control group ( <0.05) . In 61 cases of hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism, 39 patients received levothyroxine therapy,22 received no treatment. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the treatment group was significantly lower than the untreated group ( <0.05) . Conclusion Thyroid function testing in 6-20 weeks in early pregnancy has important significance in timely founding gestational thyroid dysfunction, so it should be as routine examination project.

It has been demonstrated that certain members of cyclophilins (CyP) family are related to tomurigenesis, which might result from the role for Cyp in cell proliferation. Most members of Cyp family express specifically in tumor tissue in contrast to in normaltissue and cancer-brink tissue. It is possible that a novel approach to cancer therapy and diagnosis would be appeared through exploring the relationship between Cyp and tumor.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication after total joint arthroplasty.Currently,PJI is the main cause for knee revision and the third reason for hip revision.Accurate diagnosis is of quite importance for patients with potential in revision surgery.However,there is no test alone can achieve both perfect sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of PJI.The following diagnostic methods still have irreplaceable role,including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),C reactive protein (CRP) test,synovial white blood cell count and polymorphonuclear percentage,bacteria culture and histology analysis.Some novel diagnostic techniques,such as leucocytes esterase strip test,show advantages in diagnosing as fast,convenient and cost-saving.Synovial biomarkers,such as α-defensin,have promising prospect with both high sensitivity and specificity.Among various diagnostic methods,bacteria culture and drug sensitivity test can guide the therapy of PJI.Thus,it is crucial to improve the positive rate of bacteria culture.With the development of technology,sonication and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) will be the future research highlights.Although the imaging technologies,such as labeled leukocyte imaging and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET),have been progressed in the past years,most of them are still in controversy.Further researches are still needed in the future.
