ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of serum human kallikrein11 ( KLK11 ) in patients with ovarian cancer. MethodsThe level of serum KLK11 was determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay(ELISA) for 30 patients with ovarian cancer, 26 patients with benign gynecologic processes and 32 healthy subjects,and the KLK11 value beyond the upper-limit of 95% credibility interval( 95% CI) based on the health controls was used as the positive value. The positive rate of KLK11 was compared among the three groups.ResultsThe positive rate of KLK11 in patients with ovarian cancer was significantly higher than those in patients with benign gynecologic processes or in healthy subjects[(73.3%) and(7.7% ) or(6.3% ) ,all P <0.01 )] ,and there was no significant difference between ovarian benign tumor group and the healthy control group ( P > 0.05 ).ConclusionThe serum KLK11 should be a novel tumor marker in the clinical diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
6.Advances in diagnosis and treatment of Takayasu arteritis in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;(3):297-300
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a devastating vasculitis of the aorta and its major branches,coronary and pulmonary arteries.The clinical manifestations in children are less specific than in adnlts:the disease in children presents with fever,arthralgias,vomiting,weight loss and hypertension.Conventional angiography,which is recognized as the golden standard in evaluating vascular lesions in TA,combined with computer tomography angiography (CTA),magnetic resonance angiography (MRA),ultrasonography,could not only provide important information for early diagnosis,but also detect disease activity.New immunosuppressive agents and biological therapies,such as TNF-a blocking agents,have been verified to be effective although corticosteroids and conventional immunosuppressive agents are still basic treatment.
7.Genomics of breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(3):207-210
Breast cancer is caused by somatic mutation. As such, somatic mutation in breast cancer should be described to eluci-date the underlying mechanism. Next-generation sequencing has provided new insights into the genomics of breast cancer. New genes were identified and exhibited a relationship with breast cancer. Although these genes mutated at a low frequency, such genes in different cases could be categorized into specific pathways. Mutational signatures could be found in some cases, but such signatures were gener-ally not related to environmental exposure. Studies on intra-tumoral heterogeneity have revealed the ubiquitous presence of sub-clones in breast cancer;however, a major clone is also observed, accounting for>50%of tumor cells. Current advancements show that breast cancer genomics has been integrated into personalized medicine. Furthermore, a genome-informed and personalized molecular sub-typ-ing and treatment of breast cancer can be developed in the future.
8.The present situation of choice for supporting and bone grafting material for anterior reconstruction after debridement of spinal tuberculosis
International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(1):50-53
Tuberculosis of bone and joint most commonly occurs in spine, and the main treatment method is anterior debridement, bone grafting and internal fixation. Autologous bone is still considered the "gold standard" when the anterior reconstruction of spine after debridement is needed. Allogeneic bone, artificial bone and artificial intervertebral support bodies such as titanium mesh and some biological materials also have a broad clinical application, but still can not completely replace the autologous bone because of their defects. In the aspect of internal fixation, anterior fixation has become a conventional method for the patients who suffer from active spinal tuberculosis and need anterior debridement of the focus, because this method can provide good support. This review summarizes the present situation of choice for supporting and bone grafting material for anterior reconstruction after debridement of spinal tuberculosis.
9.Investigation on pregnancy outcomes and risk factors in pregnant women in-fected with Toxoplasma gondii
Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2014;(2):221-223
Objective To understand the pregnancy outcomes and risk factors in pregnant women infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Methods Toxoplasma IgM and IgG antibodies in sera from 2 740 cases of pregnant women were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)in Zhuozhou Municipal Maternal and Child Health Care Center from 2010 to 2013,and the pregnancy outcomes were followed up. The risk factors for Toxoplasma infection were investigated with questionnaires. Results Among the 2 740 cases of pregnant women,195 cases were found with antibodies to T. gondii(7.12%),and among them,44 cas-es were IgM positive(22.56%),and 151 cases were IgG positive(77.44%). There were 41 cases with adverse pregnancy out-comes among the 195 cases(21.02%),including 32 cases of IgM positive(78.05%)and 9 cases of IgG positive(21.95%). There were 6 cases of adverse pregnancy outcomes in uninfected pregnant women(2.86%). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). The close contact with animals,eating raw meat,eating chafing dish or barbeque,and eating raw meat stuffing were important risk factors in pregnant women infected with T. gondii(compared with the uninfected group,P<0.01). Conclusion The Toxoplasma infection may lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes,therefore,to develop good habits of life and health is an effective way to avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes.
