Objective To investigate the relationship between procoagulation of HFGL 2 and abnormality of coagulation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by detecting the expression of HFGL2/fibroleukin in peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC) of SLE patients. Methods A polyclonal antibody against HFGL2 was applied to detecting the expression of HFGL2 protein in 32 SLE patients and 15 healthy volunteers by immunohistochemistry. Semi-quantitative measurement of HFGL2 expression in the blood specimen was done with high multiple image analytical system(HMIAS). Results The expression of HFGL2 in PBMC from 23 active SLE patients was significantly higher than that in the controls, which showed a positive correlation with the disease activity. Conclusion The expression of HFGL2 in PBMC is probably correlated with the pathogenesis and disease activity of SLE.

In order to analyze the in vivo expression of Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinases (SAP) in human vaginal infection, the vaginal secretion from 29 human subjects was collected by vaginal swab, and the expression of SAP1-SAP6 was detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction using specific primer sets. It was found that Sap2 and Sap5 were the most common genes expressed during infection; Sap3 and Sap4 were detected in all subjects and all 6 SAP genes were simultaneously expressed in some patients with vaginal candidiasis. It was suggested that the SAP family is expressed by Candida albicans during infection in human and that Candida albicans infection is associated with the differential expression of individual SAP genes which may be involved in the pathogenesis of vaginal candidiasis.

Objective To estimate the degree of oxidative stress and atherosclerosis praecox in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and emphasize on exploring AOPPs' clinical significance in premature atherosclerosis in SLE. Methods The levels of AOPPs, Hey, MDA, SOD, baPMV and CIMT were detected by ELISA and spectropholometry in 44 non-menopausal female SLE patients and 31 healthy middle-aged women respectively, and baPWV. The results were compared with AOPPs of the two groups. Then each group was stratified based on disease duration (≥5 years or <5 years) and the disease activity(active and inactive) in SLE patients. The patients' TC, TG, LDL were analyzed. T test, t' test and Pearson correla-tion were selected. Results The levels of AOPPs, Hcy, MDA in SLE patients were significantly higher than those of the healthy controls (P<0.05). The activities of SOD were lower than controls (P<0.05). The levels of AOPPs, Hcy, MDA, SOD had statistical significance between SLE patients disease duration ≥5 years or <5 years, active or inactive groups. There were two cases with CAP in patients with SLE (more than 5 years disease duration),while there wasnone in healthy controls. The levels of baPWV and CIMT in patients with SLE were higher than healthy controls (P<0.05), and had statistical significance in SLE patients disease duration more than or less than 5 years (P<0.05). The oxidative stress targets (AOPPs, Hey, MDA, SOD) had significant correlation with the level of baPWV and CIMT (P<0.01). The level of serum AOPPs had significant positive correlation with the levels of Hcy, TC, TG and LDL (P<0.01~0.05). Conclusion SLE patients have increased oxidative stress , and significantly higher prevalence of atherosclerosis than healthy controls. The disease duration and oxidative stress play important roles in the duration of atherosclerosis. AOPPs probably involves in the accelerated atherosclerosis of SLE patients. It may be a predictor for SLE complicated with atherosclerosis praecox.

Objective To evaluate the nursing effect of warming feeding formulation of the enteral nutrition associated diarrhea in the critically ill tube-fed patients. Methods A total of 60 patients with enteral feeding were enrolled and divided randomly into the warming group and the room temperature group with 30 cases in each group by random digits table method. The room temperature group received room temperature oral feeding by nutrition pump. The warming group used nutrition pump and heating rod was placed on the nutritional tube 50 cm far from patient's nose. A semi-quantitative scale based on stool volume and consistency was used for daily assessment of diarrhea. Results Patients were tube-fed for a mean duration of (11.20±2.98) and (10.93±2.69) days, respectively in the room temperature group and the warming group. There was no significant difference in these two groups (U=425.000, P > 0.05). The diarrhea score was 4.88 ±3.41 in the room temperature group and 5.51±4.44 in the warming group. There was no significant difference in these two groups (U=436.500, P > 0.05). The diarrhea per total feeding days was 10.42%(35/336) in the room temperature group and 16.24%(51/314)in the warming group. There was no significant difference in these two groups (χ2=4.862, P < 0.05). Conclusions The airtight enteral nutrition does not need warming when it is infused with the enteral nutrition pump at room temperature.

Objective To investigate the effect of different reference transducer positions measurement on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in ICU patients. Methods 31 cases of patients in ICU in need of measuring IAP were studied from January 2015 to July 2015 in this study. In each patient, transvesical and the direct methods were both used to measure IAP. Three sets of IAP measurements were obtained in the supine position, using the different reference levels and kept as IAPpubis, IAPmidax, IAPphlebostatic. The results were compared using Spearman rank correlation,paired t test and Bland–Altman statistics. Results When symphysis pubis was uesd, the result of direct method was (9.82±4.01) mmHg, the result of indirect method was (8.77 ± 4.48)mmHg (P<0.05), the correction between two methods was 0.967, P<0.05. When midaxillary level was uesd to measure, the result of direct method was (11.74 ± 4.71) mmHg, the result of indirect method was (11.65 ± 4.63)mmHg, the correction between two methods was 0.972, P=0.10. When phlebostatic was uesd, the result of direct method was (10.98 ± 4.65) mmHg, the result of indirect method was (10.38 ± 4.75)mmHg, the correction between two methods was 0.970, P<0.05. The calculated bias between IAPmidax and IAPpubis was 2.9 mmHg, 95%agreement of limits was (-0.8-6.5) mmHg, and the maximum difference value was 11 mmHg. The calculated bias between IAPmidax and IAPphlebostatic was1.3 mmHg, 95%agreement of limits was-1.4-4.0 mmHg, and the maximum difference value was 4.2 mmHg. Conclusion In supine position, the value obtained via the bladder can reflect the true IAP, and the symphysis pubis or phlebostatic axis reference lines are not interchangeable with the midaxillary level.

Objectives To study the effects of pU- vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)- short interfering RNA (siRNA) on the formation and apoptosis of malignant melanoma in models of nude mice and its mechanism. Methods The siRNA eukaryotic expression vector for VEGF was constructed, then transfected into A375 (a human malignant melanoma cell line) by electroporation. The nude mice models of malignant melanoma were constructed. The protein expression of VEGF and factor Ⅷ related antigen (FⅧRAg) specific for vascular endothelial cells was detected by immunohistochemical technique and morphological quantitative analysis. Microvessel density (MVD) was counted based on the endothelial cells positively stained with anti-FⅧRAg antibody. The apoptosis of the neoplasms in nude mice was quantitatively determined by TdT mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Results Both the number and the growth speed of the neoplasm formation were lower in the experimental group than those in the controls (both P

Objective To study the relationship between the mutation of the inverted repeat (IR) gene in the multiple transferable resistant (mtr) system and multiple antibiotic resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Methods The antimicrobial susceptibilities of isolated strains were tested. An agar plate dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations. The target genes were amplified by PCR and subjected to sequencing. Results No mutation was found in the IR gene of either of 2 sensitive or 5 penicillin-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeas strains. Among the 17 multiple-antibiotic-resistant strains, a strain with both azithromycin- and penicillin-resistance had T/A and T/A insertions, and another had A/T deletion. Conclusion Mutations in the IR gene of the mtr system of Neisseria gonorrhoeae might result in multiple antibiotic resistance.

To study the relationship between mutation of the inverted repeat sequence (IR) in the multiple transferable resistant system (mtr) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) and its multiple antibiotic resistance, minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for the clinically isolated strains were tested by agar-dilution-method. The mtr system's IR gene of NG was sequenced after amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Either two susceptive or five penicillin-resistant strains had no base mutation in IR gene, while all of the 13 strains with multiple-antibiotic-resistance had a single-base deletion (A/T). The result suggests that a single-base deletion of the thirteen-base IR sequence in mtr system of NG might result in multiple antibiotic resistance but is not associated with single antibiotic resistance.
