Objective To construct and identify miR-1 adenovirus vector, and to analyze its effect on cardiac hypertrophy. Methods The primers of miR-1 precursor were designed for PCR amplification, and the PCR products were cloned into adenovirus shuttle plasmid pAdTrack and linearized by enzyme Pme I: the resultant plasmid was co-transfected into E. coli BJ5183 cells with adenovirus backbone plasmid pAdEasy-1 for homologous recombination. Then the recombinant plasmid was identified, linearized and packaged into QBI-293A cells to amplify the recombinant adenovirus Ad-miR-1, which was then used to infect cardiomyocytes. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to observe the expression of miR-1 and two hypertrophic markers, the atrial natriuretic peptide ( Nppa ) and ß-myosin heavy chain ( myh7 ), in cultured primary cardiomyocytes. Cell surface area was analyzed using software AxioVision 4. 7. 1 (Carl Zeiss). Results Sequencing and enzyme digestion showed that the miR-1 recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed. Real-time quantitative PCR confirmed that adenovirus Ad-miR-1 significantly enhanced intracellular miR-1 expression in cardiomyocytes and reduced cell surface area and the expression of Nppa and myh7. Conclusion The adenovirus expressing miR-1 has been successfully constructed and it can be transfected into cardiomyocytes to increase the expression of miR-1, thus inhibiting cardiomyocyte growth.

Objective To observe the change of serum anti-brain antibodies after cardiopulmonary resuscitation,and investigate the clinical significance.Methods A total of 27 cases of cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest patients with success and survival more than 12 weeks were divided into two groups according to Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score:mild and moderate group with GCS score ≥ 8 scores (12 cases) and severe group with GCS score≤7 scores (15 cases).The serum anti-brain antibody levels at 3,7 days and 2,3,4,12 weeks after recovered in the spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was compared between two groups,and compared with control group (15 cases of healthy persons).Results The serum anti-brain antibody levels at 3,7 days and 2,3,4,12 weeks after ROSC were significantly higher than those in control group [(1.34 ± 0.23),(1.30 ± 0.27) kU/L vs.(0.28 ± 0.05) kU/L,(1.38 ± 0.33),(1.44 ± 0.30) kU/L vs.(0.28 ±0.05) kU/L,(1.44 ±0.31),(1.51 ±0.33) kU/L vs.(0.28 ±0.05) kU/L,(1.53 ±0.27),(1.67 ±0.36) kU/L vs.(0.28 ±0.05) kU/L,(1.72 ±0.25),(1.93 ±0.44) kU/L vs.(0.28 ±0.05) kU/L,(1.98 ±0.45),(2.15 ±0.52) kU/L vs.(0.28 ±0.05) kU/L],and there were significant differences (P＜ 0.01).The serum anti-brain antibody levels in severe group were significantly higher than those in mild and moderate group,and there were significnat differences (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The serum anti-brain antibody levels after cardiopulmonary resuscitation rise significantly.Anti-brain antibody may be used as a biochemistry marker to judge degree and prognosis of brain injury with patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Objective To investigate the laboratory ifndings, clinical manifestations and treatment in hemolytic disease caused by red cell immune antibodies in neonates. Methods The laboratory and clinical data from 4 cases of hemolytic disease of neonates caused by red cell immune antibodies were retrospectively analyzed. Results IgG antibody were detected in all mothers of 4 cases during pregnancy and they were anti-E, anti-D, anti-Jkb and the autoantibody with the titer being 16, 2048, 1 and 16 respectively. The four neonates were all full-term. The jaundice appeared 6 h to 3 d after birth with varying degrees of skin stained yellow, with or without anemia. Serology and elution test found the existence of antibody same as the one on their maternal red cells and the titer was 4, 512, 0, and 2, respectively. All neonates were treated by phototherapy. Two servere cases were also treated by whole blood exchange and red blood cells transfusion. The prognosis were good in all neonates. Conclusions Prenatal immune hematological tests facilitated early detection of irregular erythrocyte antibodies and thus assessment of the risk of hemolytic dis-ease of the fetus and neonates.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with polyarteritis nodosa (PAN),and to improve the understanding of the disease.Methods The data of 65 consecutive PAN patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from October 2001 to March 2013 were analyzed.Patients were divided into two groups based on hapatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) status.Chi-square test,Fisher exact probability,t test and Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis.Results The male/female ratio of patients with PAN was 1.3/1,and the average age was (37.6±1.6) years old.Fever (in 40 cases,62％) was the most frequent manifestation.Skin was involved in 51 cases (79％),urologic involvement in 44 cases (68％),peripheral nervous system involvement in 22 cases (34％) and gastrointestinal involvement in 21 cases (32％).Forty-six (71％) patients had high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) elevation and 11 (17％) patients had eosinophil count elevation.The most common vascular involvements were limb arteries in 22 cases (34％),renal artery in 19 cases (29％),and gastrointestinal artery in 17 cases (26％).Patients with negative HBsAg had more frequent arthralgia or arthritis(41％ vs 9％,x2=4.00,P＜0.05),more indicators of poor prognosis (30％ vs 0,P＜0.05) and more glucocorticoid pulse therapy (30％ vs 0,P＜0.05) when compared with patients with positive HBsAg.Conclusion Clinical manifestations of PAN are complex.Young patients with fever of unknown origin,rash,weight loss,myalgias,accompanied by symptoms of multi-organ damage including urologic,peripheral nervous system,gastrointestinal involvement and negative autoantibodies should be highly suspected for the diagnosis of PAN.For the treatment of patients with positive HBsAg,special attention should be paid to maintain the delicate balance between controlling the organ damage caused by PAN and prevention of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection reactivation.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of regular ultrasonic combined with ultrasonography micro-vessel enhanced presentation for breast malignant disease.Methods 152 patients with single breast tumour were collected,they were examined by regular ultrasonic,ultrasonography micro-vessel enhanced presentation before operation and received regular pathology after operation.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity,negative predictor,positive predictor,accuracy,area under ROC curve,95 ％ reliable interval of regular ultrasonic,ultrasonography micro-vessel enhanced presentation and the combination for breast malignant disease were analyzed.Results Ultrasonography micro-vessel enhanced presentation is better than regular ultrasonic in the diagnostic sensitivity,specificity,negative predictor,positive predictor,accuracy (P =0.002).The combination of regular ultrasonic and ultrasonography microvessel enhanced presentation could improve the detection rate of breast malignant disease(regular ultrasonic compared with combination,P =0.002 ; ultrasonography micro-vessel enhanced presentation compared with combination,P =0.000) and increase area under ROC curve (P =0.000).Conclusion Regular ultrasonic combined with ultrasonography micro-vessel enhanced presentation has complementary advantages and can increase early detection rate for breast malignant disease.

Despite the gradual improvement in surgical treatment techniques and surgical instruments, the complications and mortality of gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy remain high because of an increased proportion of advanced age and incidence of preoperative morbidity in these patients. Therefore, reducing the peri-operative adverse outcomes in gastrectomy is highly significant. According to published literature, the risk factors of morbidity and mortality may include age, TNM stage, ASA score, POSSUM score, complication, surgeon workload, hospital operation volume, lymphadenectomy scope, combined multiple organ resection, and gastrecto-my type. This review summarizes the recent progress in the risk factors for the mortality and morbidity of gastrectomy.

Some specific markers are useful of separating and identifying gastric cancer stem cells.They are including gastric stem cells,general tumor stem cells and mesenchymal tissue stem cells.At present,more and more new biomarkers are discovered besides familiar CD133 and CD44.Combined detection helps to separate pure gastric cancer stem cells and promote the therapy of gastric cancer.
