Objective To study the relationship between serum erythropoietin(Epo)level and chemotherapy-induced hemoglobin(Hb)level in elderly patients with cancer. Methods One hundred senile patients(aged≥60 years)with cancer and one hundred and seventy non-senile patients(aged<60 years)with cancer were selected as aged group and control group,respectively.The serum Epo level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results (1)The average levels of the serum Epo in aged group and control group were(22.0±15.1)U/L and(30.4±21.8)U/L,respectively(t=1.2988,P>0.05).A negative correlation was found between the levels of Epo and Hb in elder cancer patients(r=0.3700,P<0.001).(2)The levels of serum Epo were(14.7±10.6)U/L,(20.2±9.0)U/L and(42.3±24.8)U/L in 55 cases with normal Hb level,22 cases with mild anemia and 23 cases with moderate to severe anemia,respectively(F=11.6886,P<0.01).(3)The levels of Epo were(20.2±10.8)U/L,(45.2±39.1)U/L and(25.8±15.9)U/L before chemotherapy,after 4 treatment cycles and 2 treatment cycles respectively(F=4.5477,P<0.01).The levels of Hb were(111.0±20.5)g/L,(96.8±16.6)g/L and(102.1±19.3)g/L before chemotherapy,after 4 treatment cycles and 2 treatment cycles respectively(F=4.0071,P<0.01).Conelusions There is no statistical difference in serum Epo level between senile patients with cancer and non-senile patients with cancer.but serum Epo levelis higher in patients with anemia than without anemia.There is a negative correlation between the levels of Epo and Hb.Chemotherapy can decrease the level of Hb and increase the serum 1evel of Epo in part of patients.The changes are correlated with the conditions of patients before chemotherapy and the time of chemotherapy.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome is caused by the PRRS virus(PRRSV), which has six structural proteins(GP2, GP3, GP4, GP5, M and N). GP5 and N protein are important targets for serological detection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and other methods. Toward this goal, we developed an indirect ELISA with recombinant GP5 antigens and this method was validated by comparison to the LSI PRRSV-Ab ELISA kit. The results indicated that the optimal concentration of coated recombinant antigen was 0.2 μg/well for a serum dilution of 1:40. The rate of agreement with the LSI PRRSV-Ab kit was 88.7%(266/300). These results support the potential use of recombinant GP5 as an antigen for indirect ELISA to detect PRRSV antibodies in pigs.

Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of Livin ( anti-apoptosis protein) and Smac (promoting apoptosis factor) in patients with the non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).Methods The expression of Livin and Smac were detected by immunohistochemical staining(SP) assay in 31 patients with NHL, and the relationship between Livin/Smac and clinical staging, IPI and prognosis were analyzed. Results The patients with positive expression of Livin had B symptom, high risk IPI, late clinical staging (Ⅲ/Ⅳ stage) and short survival time, while the ones with positive expression of Smac had no B symptom, early clinical staging( Ⅰ /Ⅱ stage), low risk IPI and good prognosis. The expressions of both Livin and Smac were not related to gender and age. Expression of Livin was not correlated to that of Smac (r =0.003,P >0.05). Conclusion For patients with NHL, the expression of Livin protein was related to poor prognosis and adverse clinical features, whereas the expression of Smac protein was related to good prognosis and clinical feature.
