Objective To characterize the clinical features of patients with high level of carbohydrate antigen (CA)724 in order to facilitate the recognition of this clinical manifestations.Methods Eight-two cases of hospitalized patients diagnosed with gout were selected and divided into 2 groups according to the level of CA724,and the clinical features and laboratory indexes were compared between the 2 groups.T test was used in the numerical variable data between groups,x2 test was used in the categorical variable data.Correlation analysis was tested using Spearman analysis.Results The incidence of gout stones in the group with high level of CA724 was 61％,which was significantly higher than that in the group of normal CA724 of 28％.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (x2=8.894,P＜0.05).The incidence of kidney stones in the group with high level of CA724 was 65％,which was significantly higher than that in the group of normal CA724 of 22％.There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (x2=15.013,P＜0.05).But there were no statistically significant differences in age of onset,blood uric acid,erythrocyte sedimentation rate,and serum creatinine between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion The significantly elevated level of CA724 canappeare in gout patients,But it isnotcorrelated with tumor,which should be paid attention by clinician.It helps to avoid unnecessary checks and reduce the psychological and financial burden of patients.

Since human imprinted genes in 11P15.5 was found,it had been proved that various human physiological abnormality associated with it.As one of the first identified imprinted non-coding RNA genes,more attention is paid to lncRNA H19 by many scholars not only because it's linked with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and Russell syndrome (SRS),but also H19 gene is the only imprinted gene belonging to long non-coding RNA related with a variety of tumors which can also produce microRNA675 and lncRNA 91H coming from H19 gene antisense-coding.This paper will review possible mechanisms of H19 gene in tumorigenesis process and its research status in Cancer therapy from four aspects:imprinting feature,single nucleotide polymorphisms,lncRNA character and its possible action signal axis in cancer.

At present, coronary stent has been extensively used in clinic. It can significantly improve acute obstruction complication and vascular restenosis following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. However, restenosis also takes place after stent implantation, in particular for complex pathological changes. It has been demonstrated that thrombus, inflammation, and smooth muscle hyperplasia are three important stages for in-stent restenosis, and vascular intima hyperplasia is the major mechanism. After retrieving related articles, this paper discussed biocompatibility and restenosis of metal stent and drug-eluting stent, analyzed influence of stent implantation on collateral circulation function and inflammatory reactions, and explored the application of biodegradable stent.

Objective To investigate the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as well as hidden diabetes mellitus (HDM) and explore its clinical significance.Methods A total of 384 suspected patients with T2DM having underwent oral glucose tolerance test were enrolled in this study:216 cases of patients were T2DM (T2DM group),and 168 cases of patients were HDM (HDM group).T2DM patients were divided into single-vessel lesion group(122 cases),double-vessel lesion group(54 cases),and more-vessel lesion group(40 cases).Another 60 healthy person were as control group.The intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid was measured by ultrasonography.The level of serum HO-1 was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The serum level of HO-1 in control group,HDM group and T2DM group was (1.24 ± 0.53),(2.12 ± 0.84),(3.46 ± 1.23) μ g/L.The serum level of HO-1 in T2DM group was significantly higher than that in control group and HDM group (P ＜ 0.05),and in HDM group it was significantly higher than that in control group(P ＜ 0.05).There were significant differences in the serum level of HO-1 and IMT of carotid among single-vessel lesion group,double-vessel lesion group,and more-vessel lesion group [(2.94 ± 1.14),(3.72 ± 1.36),(4.64 ± 1.58) μg/L and (1.21 ±0.16),(1.44 ± 0.20),(1.62 ± 0.27) mm] (P ＜ 0.05).The serum level of HO-1 and IMT of carotid in double-vessel lesion group was higher than that in single-vessel lesion group,and in more-vessel lesion group it was higher than that in double-vessel lesion group and single-vessel lesion group (P＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).The serum level of HO-1 was positively related with IMT of carotid (r =0.512,P ＜0.01).Conclusion The high-level expression of HO-1 is found in HDM and T2DM patients,which maybe play a key role in the early diagnosis of T2DM.

Objective To study the effects and advantages of the treatment for simple bone cysts of the long bones in children with AO titanium elastic nail and autologous bone marrow injection. Methods Eighteen patients with a simple bone cyst at humerus or femur were managed with AO titanium elastic in-tramedullary nail combined with autologous bone marrow injection. There were eleven boys and seven girls in total, with the mean age of 8.1 years, ranged from 6 to 12 years. Twelve cysts was located in the proximal end of humerus, five in the proximal end of femur and one in the middle part of the shaft of femur. Twelve cysts were active and six inactive according to Neer standard. Radiographic evaluation was performed three, six, twelve and eighteen months after operation during the 11 to 23 months follow-up by taking anteroposteri-or and lateral X-ray pictures. Then we measured residual radiolucent areas on X-ray pictures and did statistic research with group comparison. Results Six cysts (33.3%) healed completely, and twelve (66.7%) healed with residual radiolucent areas which were visible on X-ray pictures 3 to 6 months after operation. Residual radiolucent areas on X-ray pictures gradually reduced during the different phases and it has statistical signif-icance by group comparison. There was no recurrence or major complication except for one patient with mild irritation of skin caused by the end of the nail up to now. Conclusion The treatment for simple bone cysts of the long bones in children combined with AO titanium elastic nail and autologous bone marrow injection not only has satisfactory healing rate but also can provide early stability to the long bones, and accelerate the healing of cysts which allows early mobilization and thus obviates the long-term need for a plaster cast and decreases the prevalence of the most common complication: a pathological fracture.

Pyroptosis is a new way of programmed cell death,a number of researches have found that it is associated with a variety of diseases.Inflammasome and caspase protein family play key roles in regulating pyroptosis.Intracellular pattern recognition receptor oligomers under external stimulus,then assemble with apop-totic speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain and caspase precursor into inflammatory com-plex body,thus activation of caspase can induce pyroptosis.While as the upstream regulation mechanism of pyroptosis,inflammasome might be double edged swordfor tumor growth.On the one hand,inflammasome can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells by inducing pyroptosis;on the other hand,the cumulative effect of the inflammsome can also form a suitable microenvironment for tumor cells and promote tumor growth.
