Objective To verify the accuracy of detecting part of biochemical markers of the new"B&G System".Methods Blood serum creatinine(SCr),urea nitrogen(BUN),serum uric acid(UA),Ca or P of the same serum example were detected by"B&G System"and Hitachi 7170S automatic biochemistry analysis instrument (7170S) respectively.Each biochemical marker was divided into two teams on the basis of measure values of 7170S, and then measure values of two methods were compared.If there were significant differences,the biochemical mark- ers's detection program of"B&G System"was corrected,and then measure values of two methods of corresponding biochemical markers were compared.Results Two methods' measure values of SCr of abnormal team,BUN of each team,SUA of each team and P of each team weren't significantly different,measure values of SCr of normal team,Ca of two teams were significantly different.After corrected"B&G System",two methods' measure values of sCr of normal team,Ca of two teams weren't significantly different.Conclusion"B&G System"through correction could accurately detect biochemical markers,and it's worth applicating in clinic.

BACKGROUND:Knowledge of retropedtoneal space communications might influence catheter placement,and understanding the normal anatomy of the retroperitoneal space is a prerequisite for predicting the distribution of inflammation or other fluid collections in this region. Until recent years,the media/ attachment of the posterior renal fascia remained controversial. The multiple detector spiral CT can show the abdominal anatomic details. So,using the multiple-detector spiral CT to study the anatomy of posterior renal fascia has clinical significance. OBJECTIVE:To describe the medial attachment of the posterior renal fascia by using multiple-detector spiral CT. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A retrospective case analysis was performed at Department of Radiology,Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical College between June 2003 and November 2007. PARTICIPANTS:A total of 52 patients with retropedtoneal inflammatory diseases were retrospectively reviewed through analysis of their CT data. METHODS:Toshiba Akuilion 16-detector spiral CT was employed for scanning. Of the 52 patients,15 were proved by clinical and laboratory findings and 37 were proved by surgery and pathology. Among the 52 patients,17 suffered from appendicitis,1 from ureteritis,2 from abscesses in the perirenal space,3 from abscesses in the posterior pararenal space,and 29 from pancreatltis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Medial attachment of the bilateral posterior renal fascia. RESULTS:At the level of the upper pole of kidney,the posterior renal fascia fused with the fascia of the ipsilateral quadratus lumborum muscle. Forty-six patients manifested the attachment site of the left posterior renal fascia transforming from the quadratus lumborum muscle fasciae to the psoas major muscle fascia at the level of the lower pole of kidney or the infrarenal space. Fifty patients showed the attachment site of the right posterior renal fascia transforming from the quadratus lumborum muscle fascia to the psoas major muscle fascia at the level of the lower pole of kidney or the infrarenal space. CONCLUSION:The posterior renal fascia attachment site is not the same all the time. At different levels,the attachment site of the posterior renal fascia is distinct.

Objective To understand the status of Toxoplasma gondii(TOX)infection in pregnant women in Qingdao area. Methods Antibody capture ELISA was used to detect the TOX-IgM,IgG and TOX-DNA in 1 341 pregnant women and 201 infer-tility,miscarriage,stillbirth pregnant women from June 2011 to July 2013. Results Among 201 abnormal pregnant women,43 cases were TOX antibody positive,accounting for 22.39%,and among the normal pregnant women,84 cases were TOX antibody positive,accounting for 6.26%,and there was a significant difference(χ2 =10.60,P<0.05). The TOX positive rate of 20-29 years old women was higher than that of the women aged over 30 years(χ2=21.9,P<0.05). The TOX antibody positive rates of families with pets and families without pets were 26.63%and 8.77%respectively(χ2=10.93,P<0.05). The TOX antibody posi-tive rates were 10.94%(22/201)in unemployed women,3.98%(8/201)in farmers,3.98%(8/201)in staff,and 3.48%(7/201)in workers. Conclusions The TOX infection rate in abnormal pregnant women is significantly higher than that in normal pregnancy women;therefore,the health education should be strengthened. In addition,in young women,especially 20-29 years old women, and some special occupation women,the control measures should be enhanced.

Objective:To investigate the effect of metformin and arsenic trioxide on KG1a cells proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia and its possible mechanism.Methods:CCK-8 method was used to detect the killing effect of metformin,arsenic trioxide and combined application on KG1a cells.Annexin V-FITC/P1 Dual Stain Flow Cytometry was used to detect the effect of combined application on apoptosis of KG1 a cells.Western blot was used to detect the expression of intracellular apoptosis-,autophagy-related protein.Results:Metformin and arsenic trioxide alone or in combination could inhibit the proliferation of KG1 a cells and induce apoptosis of KG1 a cells,and the proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate in the combined drug group were higher than those in the drug group alone(P＜0.05).The combination of drugs induced upregulation of Caspase 8 protein and P62 protein expression and was higher than that in the drug group alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Metformin can synergize with arsenic trioxide to kill KG1a cells,and its mechanism of action may be related to inducing apoptosis and enhancing autophagy.

objective To study the reationship beween drug-resistance gene mutation and drug-resistance level in M. tuberculosis. Methods 108 M. tuberculosis clinical isolated strains from sputum specimens were analyzed by PCR-SSCP and traditional drug susceptibility tests. Results the gene mutation rate of SM, RFP, INH and EMBresistance climical isolated strains was 78.5%, 68.2%, 70.5% and 48.6% respectively, and the mutation rate of SM, RFP, INH and EMB high concentration resistance isolated strains was 86.5% , 89% , 84% and 48.6% respectively, but 28.5 % , 16.6% and 7.1% was the mutation rate of low concentration resistance strains. Conclusion The gene mutation was in relation with drug resistance level of M. tube rculosis. The gene mutation rate was hiher in high concentration resistance isolated strains than in low concentration resistane isolated strains.

Objective To investigate the type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)prevalence and related risk factors in adult population with obesity in Tianjin. Methods With stratified cluster randomized sampling, 2888 obese people with BMI≥28 kg/m2, aged 18 years old and over were selected from three urban and three rural regions of Tianjin, in 2006. Information on risk factors was collected with questionnaire through face-to-face interview by trained workers and data on fasting blood glucose(FBG)was collected at the same time. 2hrPPG was tested among the people who' s FBG ≥6.1 mmol/L at the hospital. Prevalence of T2DM was calculated and the distribution of T2DM in the described subgroups and the risk factors analyzed with SPSS software. Results The prevalence of T2DM in adult population with obesity was 11.74%, with females(13.90%)higher than males (8.75%). The prevalence rates of T2DM were statistically different among different groups, classified by age, education, occupation, district and BMI. Results from the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of T2DM were age(OR=1.383, 95% CI: 1.254-1 .525)and sex(OR= 1.591,95% CI: 1.230-2.059)while the protective factor was fruit intake(OR=0.867, 95% CI: 0.774-0.971). Conclusion The prevalence of T2DM in adult with obesity was considered to be high. The distribution of T2DM in different subgroups and affecting factors of T2DM in obese adults were different from general population.
