Objective To investigate the correlation between the results of HBsAg positive results among different detection systems,and provide reference for the analysis of clinical test results and the publication of the report.Methods The HBsAg positive serum specimens with the quantitation result lower than 80 COI were detected by Roche Cobas e602 electrochemical luminescence analyzer.All the specimens were also detected by Roche Modular e170 electrochemical luminescence analyzer.The differences of detecting results were compared and performed the linear correlation analysis.Results The experimental results of two detection systems are R2 =0.933.The positive coincidences of Group A,B,C,D and E were 60.60％,92.72％,96.66％,96.66％ and 100％,respectively.The positive coincidence of the males was 87.66％,while the positive coincidence of the females was 70.96 ％.The positive coincidence of the males was significantly higher than the females (P＜0.05).Conclusion The HBsAg detecting results of Roche Cobas e602 and Roche Modular e170 electrochemical luminescence analyzer had high correlation.The results higher than 10 COI had 100％ positive coincidence rate,however the results between 1 and 10 COI were not.The result between 1 and 10 COI may lead to controversial results,suggestions for further checks.

Objective To illustrate the expressional distribution of heat shock protein 70(HSP 70) in the kidney of acute renal injury rats caused by gentamicin.Methods One hundred and fifty rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: group A (normal group), group B [80 mg/(kg?d) gentamicin to be injected], group C [160 mg/(kg?d) gentamicin to be given]. The variations of renal pathology were observed at different time phasess by light scope and electromicroscope. Simultaneously, the expression of HSP 70 in kidney was evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Results HSP 70 distributed in epithelial cells of renal tubular in acute injury rats. The expression of HSP 70 increased markedly from the 6th hour after injection, peaked at the 12th hour and lasted for 48 hours. The expression of HSP 70 in group C was higher than that in group B(P

OBJECTIVE: In those patients by monitoring and analyzing the whole blood concentrations of sirolimus of 410 cases of patients underwent kidney transplant, To provide guidance for the reasonable utilization of medications. METHODS: Chemiluminescence microparticles immuno assay (CMIA) was used to determine the whole blood concentrations of sirolimus of 42 patients (410 cases) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University hospital, from January 2013 to March 2015 years. Then the relationships between the whole blood concentrations of sirolimus and ALT, AST, T-CHO, TG or platelet count were analyzed. RESULTS: In our study, the average whole blood concentration of sirolimus of 410 cases was (5.6±2.9) ng·mL-1, ranging from 1.02 to 22.85 ng·mL-1. Three hundred and six cases got concentrations of 4~8 ng·mL-1, accounted for 74.6%. 46 cases(11.2%)got concentrations less than 4 ng·mL-1 and 58 cases with concentrations more than 8 ng·mL-1 accounted for 14.2%. The whole blood concentration of sirolimus of those patients showed positive correlations with ALT, AST, T-CHO, TG(P <0.05) and negative correlation with platelet count(r=-0.231, P<0.05). Patients with abnormal blood drug concentration may be related to compliance, diet, blood volume, genotype, combination and individual differences. CONCLUSION: With a narrow therapeutic window, individualized dosage regimens need to be adopted and the blood concentration of which should be monitored when sirolimus was used. Close attention should be paid to the concentration of blood fat, and the blood concrentration of sirolimus need timely adjustment to guarantee a considerable efficacy and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of disinfectant (Cavicide) with benzethon chloramine and isopropanol as main active ingredients disinfectant on dental impression accuracy. METHODS: The effect of Cavicide on three impression materials (alginate, polyether and vinylpolysiloxane) were assessed using a standard model. The standard model was digitized by an extraoral scanner (IScan D103i, Imetric). For each kind of impression materials, thirty impressions were taken following the manufactures' instruction in the same conditions. Subsequently, the impressions were randomly divided into three groups, with ten impressions in each group. After the impression taking was completed, the three groups underwent pure water rinse for 1 min (blank control, BC), 2% glutaraldehyde solution immersion disinfection for 30 min (glutaraldehyde, GD), and Cavicide solution spray disinfection for 5 min (Cavicide, CC), respectively. All the impressions were digitized by the extraoral scanner (IScan D103i, Imetric) after disinfection and exported to a dedicated three-dimensional analysis software (Geomagic Qualify 2014, Geomagic, USA). In the software, the digital models of the impressions were trimmed to teeth and then superimposed with the digitized standard model via best-fit alignment. Root mean square (RMS) was used to evaluate the deviations between the impression and the standard model. The deviation in the anterior and posterior regions was evaluated respectively. One-way ANOVA test and the LSD post-hoc test were used to compare the deviations between the three groups (P < 0.05). The color map of each superimposition was saved for visual analysis. RESULTS: For the polyether and vinylpolysiloxane materials, the difference between the three groups was not statistically significant (P=0.933, P=0.827). For the alginate material, the difference in posterior region between group GD and group BC, as well as group GD and group CC were statistically significant (GD vs. BC, P=0.001; GD vs. CC, P=0.002), while the difference between group BC and group CC was not statistically significant (P=0.854). The visual analysis showed an obvious deviation in the buccal-lingual direction in group GD. CONCLUSION Disinfectant (Cavicide) with benzethon chloramine and isopropanol as main active ingredients using spray disinfection has no effect on the accuracy of the alginate, polyether and vinylpolysiloxane impressions.

Objective: To observe the clinical effects of moxibustion at abdominal acupoints for slow transit constipation (STC) due to yang deficiency of the spleen and kidney. Methods: A total of 52 cases with slow transit constipation in conformity with the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group according to their visit order and random digital table, 26 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine nursing guide. Besides the same routine nursing guide, patients in the observation group received moxibustion at the abdominal acupoints, once every day. The course of the treatment was 4 weeks in the two groups, and the 3-month follow-up was given after the course was finished, for comparing the clinical symptoms, results of colon transit tests, scores of depression/anxiety scale and nursing satisfaction. Results: The total effective rate was 92.3% in the observation group and 69.2% in the control group, with a significant difference between the two groups. After the treatment and during the follow-up checks, the scores of Chinese medical symptoms in the two groups were remarkably decreased than those before the treatment (all P<0.01); the scores of the observation group were obviously lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01). The discharge rates of the markers in the two groups were remarkably increased than those at the same time period before the treatment; moreover, the discharge rates of the markers at various time periods were remarkably better in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.01). SDS and SAS scores were remarkably decreased after the treatment in the two groups (P<0.01). In comparison of SDS score between the two groups after the treatment, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). In comparison of SAS score between the two groups after the treatment, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction was 96.2% in the observation group after the treatment, obviously better than that in the control group (73.1%). The recurrence rate was 8.3% in the observation group, remarkably lower than that in the control group (33.3%). Conclusion: Moxibustion at the abdominal acupoints plus routine nursing can remarkably improve the colon transit functions and anxious and depressive emotion in patients with STC, and the therapeutic effects are remarkable. Not only the clinical satisfaction is higher, but the recurrence rate is obviously lower than that of routine nursing.

Background The surgery for congenital idiopathic nystagmus has make great progression recent year,but the influence of surgery on visual function is closely concerned.Objective This work was to study the surgeries for congenital idiopathic nystagmus with or without strabismus and explore the effect of horizontal rectus muscle surgery on the visual function and ocular movement in congenital idiopathic nystagmus.Methods This was a case-observational study.Sixty cases with idiopathic congenital nystagmus were enrolled assigned to four groups as follows:The patients of group Ⅰ appeared the head postures of less than 15 ° and heterotropia less than 15△underwent extraocular proprioceptiou resection,and those of group Ⅱ presented with the head postures of less than 20° and heterotropia more than 15△ underwent extraocular proprioception resection and stabismus surgery.In the group Ⅲ,the patients had the head postures of more than 15° and heterotropia less than 15△ underwent Park's surgery and part of them underwent extraocular proprioception resection) and the cases in group Ⅳ were selected with the head postures of more than15° and heterotropia more than 15△ underwent Park' s surgery and strabismus surgery ( part of them underwent extraocular proprioception resection).Baseline and follow-up evaluations included the best distance and near corrected visual acuity,head posture,ocular movement and Titmus stereotest.The examination results were compared between before and after operation.Results One year after operation,monocular and binocular distance visual acuity improved significantly in all four groups ( monocular:t =6.00,8.94,11.76,16.41,P =0.00 ; binocular:t=4.81,P=0.01 ; t =6.27,4.25,4.18,P =0.00 ),but monocular and binocular near visual acuity improved significantly only in groups Ⅲ and Ⅳ after operation compared with before operation ( monocular:t=2.91,P=0.01 ; t =5.32,P =0.00 ; binocular:t =3.36,t =4.30,P =0.00 ).The compensatory head posture from 39 subjects was disappeared after operation,showing an evident difference between before and after surgery ( group Ⅲ:t =29.90,P=0.00;group Ⅳ:t=16.91,P=0.00).Strabismus were corrected rightly for 24 patients and undercorrection for 2 patients.( group Ⅱ:t =29.15,P =0.00 ; group Ⅳ:t =36.79,P =0.00 ).The binocular visual function of 23 cases with the age below 12 years were improved throughout the follow up duration ( t =12.06,P =0.00).Conclusions Park' s surgery,extraocular proprioception resection and strabismus corrective operation can improve the visual function and head posture in congenital idiopathic nystagmus patients.

Background Congenital nystagmus is a common disease threatening visual function.The clinical description of congenital nystagmus is still not enough now. Objective The aim of this study was to report the motor and sensory characteristics of congenital nystagmus. Methods A retrospective clinical case analysis was designed.The clinical data of 376 patients with congenital nystagmus were collected.These patients were diagnosed in Henan Eye Institute from January,2005 to August,2011.The clinical characteristics of patients,including age,pedigree analysis,nystagmus classification,ocular alignment,visual acuity,refractive error,stereoacuity and oscillopia,was summarized.Informed consent from all patients and custodian were obtained. Results The age distribution of most patients was ＞5-10 years and ＞ 15-20 years,with the percentage 24.73％ and 24.20％,respectively.Of 376 patients,sensory defect nystagmus was 172 cases,and that of motor sensory defect was 204 cases.The most common inheritance pattern was autosomal dominant.Conjugate uniplanar horizontal oscillations were found in 73.94％patients,and strabismus was found in 66.36％ in this study.Sensory defected subjects did not show a statistically significantly higher strabismus incidence when compared with the idiopaths (x2 =3.048,P =0.081 ).The binocular distance vision in all the subjects was declined in comparison with normal eyes,the best corrected vision was 0.27 ±0.11 and 0.50± 0.13 in sensory defected nystagmus and idiopaths nystagmus respectively,showing a significant difference( t =16.495,P =0.000 ).The incidence of refractive error in this study was 77.62％.Incidence of astigmatism(75.17％ ) was higher than that of myopia and hyperopia ( 39.03％ and 36.12％ ).No significant difference was seen in refractive error incidence between the sensory defected and the idiopaths (x2 =1.337,P =0.248).Patients of 65.18％ displayed non-stereoacuity or very gross acuity levels (3000) in this study,and the patients with idiopathic nystagmus showed better stereoacuity level in comparison with sensory defected ones (x2 =7.058,P =0.008 ).Five of 313 patients existed experienced oscilopla under binocular viewing conditions.Conclusions Autosomal dominant inheritance is the most common pattern of congenital nystagmus.Conjugate uniplanar horizontal oscillation is thought to be a common type of nystagmus.Incidence of strabismus is higher,and visual acuity and stereoaeuity are worse in congenital nystagmus than in common population.Oscillopia is seldom found in congenital nystagmus.

Objective To investigate the correlation of HCV-RNA with detection indexes HCV-Ab and HCV-cAg in its clini-cal application effect among patients with hepatitis C.Methods HCV-cAg and HCV-Ab in 140 cases of HCV-RNA were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in cases of PCR,which were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results 127 cases in 140 cases of HCV-RNA positive serum were HCV-cAg positive,in line with the rate of 90.71%,and the cases of 110 HCV-Ab positive,in line with the rate of 78.57%.The positive detection rate of HCV-cAg with different HCV-RNA concentration was increased with the increase of HCV virus content,and the serum of different HCV-RNA concentration had no significant changes in HCV-Ab detection results.Conclusion The detection results of HCV-cAg had a high coincidence rate with HCV-RNA.Therefore detection of HCV-cAg can be as a complementary detec-tion of HCV-Ab,as the window period of HCV infection and infection in immunocompromised persons screening provides a simple,inexpensive method.At the same time it provides rapid screening for HCV infection provide diagnostic basis for those basic medical units who do not have the conditions for detection of HCV-RNA.

OBJECTIVETo compare clinical efficacy of Zero-profile implant for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and conventional titanium plate with cage internal fixation for the treatment of single segmental cervical intervertebral disc herniation.

METHODSFrom August 2011 to March 2014, clinical data of 139 patients with single cervical disc herniation treated with anterior cervical discectomy and interbody fusion with internal fixation were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to its operation method. There were 63 patients in group A which performed anterior discectomy and interbody fusion with Zero-profile;76 patients in group B which performed anterior cervical discectomy and cage plate internal fixation. JOA score and Odom functional rating between two groups were compared before and after operation. Videofluorographic swallowing study (VFSS) were used to evaluate thickness of prevertebral soft tissue. Bazaz dysphagia score were used to assess incidence of dysphagia. Postoperative AP X-ray and CT of cervical vertebra at 12 months were applied for evaluating bone graft fusion. Postoperative MRI was applied for evaluating the incidence of adjacent segment degeneration. Blood loss,operative time, preoperative and postoperative JOA score, Odom functional rating and VFSS score, Bazaz score, fusion rate between vertebral bodies and incidence of adjacent segment degeneration were compared between two groups.

RESULTSThere were no statistical meaning between two groups in JOA score, Odom functional rating before and after operation (P > 0.05); and no significant meaning in VFSS score between two groups before operation (P > 0.05); There were no significant difference in operative time and blood loss. There was statistical meaning in VFSS, Bazaz dysphagia score at 2 days, and 6 months after operation (P < 0.05). All patients obtained bone union at 1 year after operation, and no obvious meaning in fusion rate (P > 0.05). Eight patients (12.7%) in group A occurred adjacent segment degeneration and 19 patients (25%) in group B occurred adjacent segment degeneration, and there was significant meaning between two groups (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONBoth of Zero-profile implant for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and conventional cage internal fixation for the treatment of single segmental cervical intervertebral disc herniation could obtain satisfied clinical results. While Zero-profile implant for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion has advantages of lower incidence of adjacent segment degeneration, and its mid and long term following-up results still further observation.
