AIM: To explore a simple, reliable method for tissue processing and section staining by extracting DNA from the manually microdissectioned specimen, and to identify whether the extracted DNA is useful in the following study at molecule level. METHODS: The experiment was performed at the pathological laboratory of Guangdong Medical College from July 2004 to July 2007. The paraffin imbedding tissue sections of cervical cancer were thoroughly deparaffinized after mounted on slides for a long period of time. The nucleus was slightly stained with hematoxylin and microdissectioned under inverted microscope. The microdissectioned samples were put into EP tubes filled with digestion buffer to split the cells and then the DNA was extracted. During the whole course, PE tubes did not change, and the complicated phenol/chloroform extraction did not perform. The DNA extraction was rapid and simple. RESULTS: The DNA was measured by the spectrophotometer with concentrations from 0.14 to 5.25 g/L and absorbance values of A260/A280 were 1.6-1.8. All samples were amplified with PCR to produce expected length specific target fragment (231 bp). CONCLUSION: Rapid DNA extraction after manual tissue microdissection can produce adequate amount of DNA and maintain good quality of DNA template for PCR. The DNA meets the need of the following molecular experiments.

Objective To investigate the relationship between thyroid hormone levels and carotid artery disease in maintenance hemodialysis ( MHD ) patients and evaluate its value. Methods Clinical data of one hundred and twenty?one MHD patients during January 2014 to July 2016 in Yanan University Affiliated Hospital were collected. The patients were divided into the normal carotid artery group and the carotid artery lesion group according to whether there was plaque or stenosis in the carotid artery ultrasonography. Clinical data related to the carotid artery lesions was collected, and the single factors that may affect the carotid artery lesions were analyzed,multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze independent risk factors for carotid artery disease, and the greatest independent risk factor of OR value was used to establish a ROC curve for evaluating carotid atherosclerosis in patients with MHD. Results The levels of serum calcium, TC, TG, LDL?C, TSH, CRP and Hcy in the carotid artery group were higher than those in the normal group ( P<0. 05 ) . The levels of serum phosphorus and FT3 in the lesion group were lower than those in the normal group ( P<0. 05 ) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis of risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis showed that CRP ( OR=1. 620,95%CI1. 288-2. 038,P=0. 048),Hcy (OR=1. 976,95%CI 1. 135?3. 441,P=0. 021),FT3 (OR=2. 521,95%CI 1. 584-4. 012,P=0. 017) were independent risk factors for carotid artery disease. FT3 evaluation of the ROC curve showed AUC=0. 848,P=0. 000,the cut?off value was 3. 705pmol/L,the diagnostic sensitivity was 0. 670,and the specificity was 0. 879. CRP valuation of the ROC curve suggested that AUC=0. 619,P=0. 000,the cut?off value was 16. 215 mg/L,the diagnostic sensitivity was 0. 932 and the specificity was 0. 333. Hcy evaluation of the ROC curve showed AUC=0. 767,P=0. 000,the cut?off value was 12. 565μmol/L,the diagnostic sensitivity was 0. 784 and the specificity was 0. 881. Conclusion Low concentration of FT3,high concentration of Hcy and high concentration of CRP in MHD patients were independent risk factors for carotid artery disease. The use of FT3 to evaluation the carotid atherosclerosis has a certain value.
