Objective:To investigate the feasibility of fast assay of vitamin C (VC) in body fluids by iodometry with UV absorbance detection.Methods:The sample was pretreated with iodoacetic acid to block sulfhydryl group.Protein was precipitated by trichloroacetic acid,and chromogen was extracted with chloromethylene.The change of absorbance after 30 s reaction of the pretreated sample with iodine was measured.Results:The assay of absorbance before and after 30 s reaction of the pretreated sample with iodine showed the variation coefficient within 5%,and the recovery of VC was above 90%.There was linear response of the absorbance change to the amount of VC from body fluids with slope consistent to that for iodine.Conclusion:This method may be desirable for fast assay of VC in body fluids.

Instead of poly—I—lysine, the microtitre plate is in turn pretreated with concentrated sulphuric acid and 100?g/ ml protamine. The living target cells are well attached to the plate. Fixed with 0.025—0.05% glutaraldehyda, the target cells are suitable for screening monoclonal antibodies by ELISA. This assay is specific, sensitive and well reproductive. It is a useful method for screening large scale spent supernatant of hybridomas and ascites at less expense and time. On the other hand, this method can be also used to detect cellular antigens with either MAbs or conventional antibodies.

Antigen specific rosette forming cells(S-RFC),plague forming cells(PFC)and Con A initiated spleen cells ~3H-TdR uptake tests were used to see the effects of transfer fa-ctor(TF).the experiments showed TF had enhancing effects on S-RFC of immunized mice and Con A initiated spleen cells ~3H-TdR uptake but no effects on S-RFC of nonimmunized mice,PFC of both immunized and non-immunized miceand spleen cells ~3H-TdR uptake without ConA.High concentration of TF inhibited Con A initated spleen cells ~3H-TdR uptake.Bovine,porcine andhuman TF had similar ?ffects on S-RFC of immunized mice in vivo and Con A in-iated spleen cells ~3H- TdR uptake in vitro. The results suggest that TF have non-specific effects on mature T lymphocytes activated by antigen or mitogen which are similar to the effects of thymic factors.The substances in TF,which have enhancing or inhibiting effects,are promising to be useful immune modifiers.Effects of bovine,porcine and human TF are not species spcifiic.Both S-RFC and Con A initiated murine spleen cells ~3H-TdR uptake tests are promising to be the methods to measure non-specific activities of TF. Key words:Transfer factor,S-RFC.Con A initiated spleen cells ~3H-TdR uptake, Immune modulation.

Objective To explore the treatment method and curative effect for lower limb varicose vein or swelling secondary to Cockett syndrome. Methods From March 2014 to March 2015,a total of 25 cases of lower limb varicose vein (22 cases)or swelling (3 cases)secondary to Cockett syndrome were treated with percutaneous transluminal angiography (PTA).Stents were placed in the veins in 19 cases,and 22 patients with varicose veins were treated with the great saphenous vein high ligation and point type stripping at secondary stage. Results The operations were successful.The iliac vein PTA was performed in all the 25 patients.The iliac vein stent implantation was performed in 17 cases of varicose veins and 2 cases of lower limb swelling.The saphenous vein high ligation and point type stripping was performed in 22 cases of varicose veins of lower extremity at 1 month after the interventional treatment.Postoperatively,no complications such as lower limb swelling,infection,or deep vein thrombosis occurred.Follow-up at the first postoperative month showed 20 cases of cured and 5 cases of alleviated.Follow-up for 3 -15 months (mean,12.4 months)in the 25 cases showed no lower limb swelling,recurrence of varicose vein,or deep vein thrombosis. Conclusions Cockett syndrome patients can be treated with iliac vein PTA.Whether or not a stent placement is required is determined according to the extent of vein stenosis.Postoperatively,lower limb swelling can be significantly alleviated.For patients with secondary varicose vein of lower extremity,saphenous vein ligation and point type stripping is recommended after 1 month.

The author holds that the development of e-health should observe ethical principles such as inform-concent, safety, justice, risk-benefit and developing step by step, and puts forward regulating recommendations in many aspects.

Objective:To investigate the role of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) in molecular mechanism of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). Methods: Seventy-eight healthy female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=26): rats in control group received no treatment; rats in EAE group were induced with complete Freund's adjuvant and Guinea pig spinal cord homogenate(CFA-GPSCH); and rats in pyrrolidine-dithiocharbamate (PDTC) group received PDTC (100 mg/kg), a specific inhibitor of NF-kB, 1 h before and after(once a day for 7 d) CFA-GPSCH treatment. HO-1 mRNA expression were analyzed with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) on 1 d,7 d,14 d,and 21 d after EAE induction, respectively. The relationship between HO-1 and symptoms of EAE was also investigated. Results: The expression of HO-1 mRNA was very low in the brains of the control group (0.27?0.05), whereas enhanced gradually with onset and development of EAE in EAE group, peaked on d 7 (1.11?0.12), kept at a high level till d 14(1.06?0.18) and decreased on d 21 (0.37?0.1). HO-1 mRNA expression change was in parallel with severities of EAE. In PDTC group,the EAE symptoms were mitigated markedly and the expression of HO-1 mRNA reduced noticeably compared with that of EAE group. Conclusion: Brain HO-1 mRNA expression may play an important role in the pathogenesis of EAE,and application of some inhibitors of NF-kB may be one of the potential therapies for prevention and treatment of EAE.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between iodine intake and the prevalence of thyroid diseases in Urumqi.Methods A total of 1693 subjects were investigated.Serum thyroid hormones,thyroid autoantibodies,and urinary iodine concentration were determined,and type B ultrasonography of thyroid gland was performed in all participants.Result The urinary iodine level revealed that 9.5％ of the subjects were iodine deficient and 30.0％ iodine excessive.The average median urinary iodine was 254.9 μg/L.Serum total T4 level in the idione adequate and more than adequate groups was significantly higher than the other 2 groups [ ( 9.02±2.63 ) vs (7.69±2.85)、(8.45 ±2.13 ) μg/dl,both P＜0.05 ],and serum TSH level in the idione deficient group was significantly higher than the other 2 groups [ (3.00±1.86) vs (2.37±1.91),(2.27±1.86) mIU/L,both P＜0.01 ].There was no significant statistical difference in positive rates of thyroid autoantibodies,morbidities of thyroid dysfunction and goiter among 3 groups.Conclusion The iodine deficient situation has been corrected in Urumqi.There is no difference in morbidities of thyroid diseases in population with different iodine intakes.

Objective To quantitatively assess anterior chamber angle of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary angle-closure (PAC) patients after laser pheripheral iridotomy (LPI) by spectral-domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SD-AS-OCT),and investigate which parameters should be used in these patients and the clinical significance of these parameters in screening and follow-ups of glaucoma.Methods Fifty-five eyes of 40 patients diagnosed with PACG remission (11 eyes,8 patients),PAC (20 eyes,20 patients) or PAC suspect (24 eyes,12 patients) were examined.Each eye was examined by SD-AS-OCT at upper,lower,nasal,and temporal sides.Anterior chamber angle (ACA),trabecular iris angle (TIA),and trabecular iris space area (TISA500/750) were measured or calculated.All results were analyzed.Results The points from the inside to the corneal scleral spur 500 μm and 750 pm were selected,AOD,TIA,ACA,TISA at upper,lower,nasal,and temporal sides were measured,which were included into 500 series and 750 series.The mean values of TIA,ACA and AOD in the 500 series and 750 series were the largest in the temporal side and the lowest in the nasal side.The mean values of TISA measurement was the largest in the lower side and the smallest at the upper side.Pearson correlation analysis showed that TIA500 and ACA500 (r =0.799,P =0.00),TIA750 and ACA750 (r =0.799,P =0.00),TIA500 and TISA500 (r=0.919,P =0.00),TIA750 and TISA750 (r =0.920,P =0.00) had positive correlation.With TIA500 as independent variable x and TISA500 as dependent variable y,the regression equation was obtained:y =-0.300 + 0.005x (F =1195,P =0.00),which showed TISA500 and TIA500 were linearly positive correlated.With TIA750 as independent variable x,and TISA750 as dependent variable y,the regression equation was obtained:y =-0.440 + 0.009x (F =854,P =0.00),which showed TISA750 and TIA750 were linearly positive correlated.The coefficient of variation of the 750 series parameters were less than the 500 Series in the four directions.Conclusion SD-AS-OCT is an efficient tool for efficiency evaluation and follow-up during the course of PACG and PAC after LPI.For narrow angles,as the parameters of 750 series parameters have less variability,so 750 series are more recommended in clinical application.
