Clinical Medicine of China 2012;28(10):1101-1103
Objective To investigate the correlation of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) with clinical pathological factors and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma ( HCC ).Methods Two hundred and twenty patients with HCC who hospitalized in our hospital from January 2007 to June 2009 were enrolled in this study.The relationship of AFP levels before operation to clinical pathological factors such as pathological grade,tumor size,tumor encapsulation,tumor numbers,portal vein tumor thrombus,TNM stage and postoperative recurrence were analyzed.Results Serum AFP concentration before operation were related with tumor size ( x2 =11.76,P < 0.05 ),tumor encapsulation ( x2 =17.07,P < 0.05 ),portal vein tumor thrombus ( x2 =8.944,P < 0.05 ),higher TNM stage ( x2 =4.929,P < 0.05 ) and early postoperative recurrence rate ( x2 =5.569,P < 0.05 ).However,it had no correlation with pathological edmondson grade tumor numbers.Conclusion HCC patients with high serum AFP concentration often has greater tumor without encapsulation,high occurrence rate of portal vein tumor thrombus and higher TNM stage,they are more likely to early postoperative recurrence.Serum AFP before operation is useful not only for diagnosis,but also as a prognostic biomarker to predict prognosis and recurrence.
8.Different activities of antimicrobial combinations against muitidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in vitro
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2011;31(10):898-902
Objective To evaluate the activities of 18 pairs of antimicrobials combinations against non - duplicate clinical isolates of multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) in vitro.Methods Collect isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii from different patients from October 2009 to May 2010,which were isolated in Clinical Laboratory Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital,Capital Medical University.Use broth microdilution method to detect MIC of mono-antimicrobial,and checkerboard broth microdilution method to detect combinatied MIC,and calculate fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index to determine drug combinations effects.When the performance of the same drug combinations conflicted,appropriate strains were selected for screening of drug-resistant mechanisms by polymerase chain reaction( PCR),including efflux pump genes.Results In tests in vitro,rifampicin and polymyxin B,imipenem and gentamicin,cefepime and levofloxacin showed synergy at high proportion,68.1%,45.5%,40.9%,respectively.Minocycline and rifampicin,ampicillin/sulbactam and tobramycin.Ceftazidime and ciprofloxacin showed additive effect at high proportion,81.8%,68.2%,68.2%,respectively.There were several combinations which appeared the opposite effects to tested strains.Strains No.19 corresponding reaction was synergy and No.21,No.26 corresponding reactions were antagonism.The three strains above were selected for screening resistant mechanisms.The difference is that genotypes of adeS were negative in No.19 and positive in No.21 and No.26.Conclusion Rifampicin and polymyxin B combination showed synergy against the MDRAB in vitro,which can be considered as the treatment choice for critical infections caused by MDRAB.Imipenem and gentamicin,cefepime and levofloxacin also showed synergy in vitro,but in some isolates showed antagonism.This phenomenon may be due to the gene adeS activated by certain antibiotics,and the activated adeS drived efflux pump express or overexpress,which made the drugs in bacterial cells pumped out,causing antagonistic effect.The individual differences in strains should be considered when clinic strain apply these two combinations above.
9.Role of myosin light chain kinase in increase in permeability of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells induced by mechanical stretch
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2010;30(12):1472-1474
Objective To evaluate the role of myosin light chain kinase(MLCK)in the increase in the permeability of human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells(HPMVECs)induced by mechanical stretch.Methods HPMVECs were cultured in vitro and then randomly divided into 3 groups(n = 4 each): mechanical stretch group(group S),ML9 treatment group(group M)and control group(group C).In group S,the monolayer cells and magnetic beads coated with an RGD peptide were incubated in serum-free MCDB131 medium for 2 h,the unbound beads were washed out,and then the cells were exposed to magnetic twisting stimulation(MTS)for 2 h(frequency 3 Hz,intensity 4.2 mT).In group M,the monolayer cells and magnetic beads coated with an RGD peptide were incubated for 2 h in serum-free MCDB131 medium in which MLCK inhibitor ML9(50μmol/L)was added,and the other procedures were the same as in group S.In group C,the cells after washing as in group S were incubated for 2 h without exposing to MTS.Monolayer permeability was detected with FITC-dextran flux in transwell model.The distribution of integrin αVβ3 and actin was detected using the immunofluorescence assay.Results Compared with group C,the permeability of HPMVECs was significantly increased in group S,while no significant change was found in group M.Compared with group S,the permeability of HPMVECs was significantly decreased in group M.In addition,actin polymerized to form stress fiber,and integrin αVβ3 clustered at the end of stress fiber in group S,while actin mainly distributed in the surrounding area of the cell membrane and integrin αVβ3 evenly distributed on the cell surface in group C and M.Conclusion The mechanism by which mechanical stretch induces the increase in the permeability of HPMVECs is related to MLCK activation-mediated stress fiber formation and integrin αVβ3 clustering.

Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2010;19(8):732-734
Objective To investigate the ability of theory of mind use in elders,and determine the role of inhibitory control in the use of theory of mind. Methods The participants included 30 young-old people ,30 oldold people and 30 young people. Their ability of theory of mind use and inhibitory control were examined with The Referential Communication Task and Hayling Sentence Completion Test,respectively. Results The correct rate of referential communication task was significantly lower in old-old people (0.43 ± 0.32) than those of young-old people (0.69 ±0.24, P=0. 001 ) and young people (0. 77 ±0. 25, P<0. 001 ). Partial correlation analysis showed that the total errors in Hayling Test-B was negatively correlated with the correct rate of Referential Communication Task ( r= -0.442, P<0.001 ). Hiberarchy regression analysis showed that the total errors in Hayling Test-B entered the equation ( β = -0.451, P<0. 001 ) and could independently explained 16.8% of the variance (△R2 = 0. 168, △F = 19.359, P < 0.001 ) after controlling for age. Conclusion Old-old people show worse performance in the use of theory of mind. The impairment of inhibitory control can partly explain the decline of theory of mind use in old-old people.
