Objective To establish a rapid and sensitive chemiluminescence immunoassay for detecting squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA)in human serum.Methods Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)and N-(aminobutyl)-N-(ethylisoluminol)(ABEI) were used to label two different monoclonal antibodies of anti-SCCA.SCCA in serum combined with labeled antibodies and formed a sandwiched immunoreaction.After adding the substrate solution,the relative light unit of ABEI was measured.Magnetic particles coated with anti-FITC antibody were used as solid separation carrier.Results The results demonstrated that the method was linear to 22 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.025 ng/mL.The coefficient of variation (CV)was less than 6% and 7% for intra-assay and inter-assay precision,respectively.Compared with the commercial kit,the proposed method showed a correlation of 0.990 1.Conclu-sion chemiluminescence immunoassay based on magnetic particles displays acceptable performance for quantification of SCCA and is appropriate for use in clinical diagnosis.

Objective To estimate the influence of abnormal glucose metabolism during pregnancy and family history of cardio-cerebrovascular disease and/or diabetes on umbilical C-peptide concentrations. Methods Chesed 85 pregnant women who had prenatal examination and their newborns as the subjects. Thirty-six newborns of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus with pregnancy and 49 newborns of mothers with normal glucose tolerance were randomly chosed as the control group. All newborns were also classified according to whether their maternal grandparents had history of diabetes and/or cardio-cerebrovaacular disease. Therefore, there were four groups in this study: 25 newborns in group A were of diabetic mothers and positive family history, 11 newborns in group B were of diabetic mothers but negative family history, 9 newborns in group C were of mothers with normal glucose tolerance but positive family history, 40 newborns in group D were of mothers with normal glucose tolerance and negative family history. The blood samples of umbilical veins were collected at the time of delivery. Umbilical C-peptide levels of the four groups were measured by radioimmunonssay. Results The umbilical C-peptide concentrations of newborns in group A, B, C, D were (2.22±1.52), (1.44±0.63), (1.13± 0.34), (1.31±0.69) μg/L respectively, the umbilical C-peptide concentrations of newborns in group A were elevated compared to those of other three groups (F=5.11, P=0.003), and there were no significant differences in C-peptide levels of newborns between the three groups (group B vs C P=0.499, group B vs D P=0.694, group C vs D P=0.642). Conclusion Special attention should be given to newborns of diabetic mothers and whose maternal grandparents have history of diabetes and/or cardio-cerebrovascular disease.

Tropical medicine is defined by an association with geographic location, and it is a branch of medicine integrating preclinical medicine, clinical medicine and preventive medicine and investigating the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of tropical and subtropical zones. Military tropical medicine is a new interdiscipline based on tropical medicine and military medicine. With the improvement of health condition and the development of global economy, some tropical infectious diseases have been gradually controlled. However, factors such as increasingly frequent international communication and extreme changes in global climate induced by overproduction activity of human are leading to a redistribution of infectious diseases, which inevitably has impact on military strategies and tactics. This article reviews the past and prospect of military tropical medicine.

Epidemic diseases often occur following natural disasters, such as earthquakes. The most commonly seen epidemics after an earthquake include: enteric diseases (dysentery, typoid and paratypoid fever, cholera, hand foot-mouth disease, hepatitis A, hepatitis E, etc), arthropod-borne infectious diseases (malaria, Kala-Azar, Japanese encephalitis, etc), zoonosis (plague, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, anthrax, etc), soil and epidemic water transmitted diseases (tetanus, gas gangrene, leptospirosis, etc), respiratory diseases (measles, rubella, influenza, etc), food-borne diseases (food poisoning caused by bacteria or bacterial toxin). This article reviews the controlling principles and measures for major infectious pathogens and epidemic diseases after earthquake.
