ECP levels were determined by using immobile double-site enzyme amplified chemiluminescence immunoassay.Results The serum ECP level of the treatment under 37℃ was significantly high (P0.05). The serum ECP level was significantly higher(P

Objective To explore and analyze the curative effect of capecitabine in the treatment of advanced breast cancer and its influcing factors. Methods 100 cases of advanced breast cancer were selected,all patients were treated with combined or individual therapy, one period was 21-28 days, and the course of treatment was more than two cycles. Before and after treatment, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECGO) score, receptor status, chemotherapy cycles, tumor metastasis and other factors of the data were collected and recorded. Results The short-term efficacy of the patients was: stable disease (SD) 39 cases, progressive disease (PD) 8 cases, complete remission (CR) 1 cases, partial remission (PR) 52 cases. 53.0%(53/100) for objective response rate (ORR), 92.0%(92/100) for disease control rate (DCR). All patients who received treatment from the end of the follow-up period were: 1 to 24 months, the median survival period was 6.5 months. The independent influencing factors of progress free survival (PFS) were the number of cycles of combination chemotherapy (P<0.05). During chemotherapy, the adverse reactions of patients was not much, respectively: 4 cases of hand foot syndrome, 2 cases of grade Ⅰ, 1 case of grade Ⅱ, 1 case of grade Ⅲ; 7 cases of gastrointestinal reaction, 4 cases of grade Ⅰ, 3 cases of grade Ⅱ; 3 cases of hematologic toxicity, 1 case of grade Ⅰ, 2 cases of grade Ⅱ. The lower ECGO score, ≥4 times of cycles of treatment, ER/PR+ improved the short-term efficacy(P<0.05), while the tumor metastasis and HER-2 receptor could not effect the short-term efficacy. Conclusion The short-term efficacy of capecitabine is related to ECGO score, receptor status and chemotherapy cycles, while has no relation with tumor metastasis and HER-2 receptor.

BACKGROUND: There are differences in physical and biological activity between the antibody from mammals and egg yolk antibody (IgY) from chicken. IgY is acid- and heat-resistant, and can prevent and cure the infectious diseases in animals and human being, which is also benefit to develop routine diagnostic immunoassays. Conventional ELISA assay for IgY takes much more time than dot-immunobinding assay.OBJECTIVE: To detect the IgY stability byusing dot-immunobinding assay.DESIGN: Open trail.SETTING: Department of Transfusion, Kunming General Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERTALS: The experiment was completed in the Kunming General Hospital of Chengdu Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from January to June 2006. Two White Leghorn hens (30 weeks old) were selected. HLA-A*0201 α chain served as the antigen. The total protein concentration of the purified antigen was 0.04 g/L with the molecular mass of 32 000(self-prepared); nitrocellulose filter (NC, import and divided); nonfat dry milk (Anyi Corp. No. 20051220); DAB (Boshide Corp.);caprylic acid (made by Shanghai Xinghuo Chemical Factory); ammonium sulfate (Shantou Guanghua Chemical product).METHODS: ①HLA-A*0201 α chain with the total protein concentration of 0.04 g/L was purified with egg yolk antibody,and identified by SDS-PAGE. ②1 μL antigen was spotted into the center of NC membrane and dried in the incubator at 37 ℃. Then the NC membrane was blocked in 1 mL PBST and put in the incubator at 37℃ with shaking in 90 r per minute for 15 minutes. Then the liquid was exchanged with 1 mL PBST and added the primary antibody at a final concentration of 10 mg/L. After 30 minutes shaking in the incubator at 37 ℃, the NC membrane was washed in PBST for three times. The second antibody, mouse anti-chicken IgY conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was added and after 30 minutes incubation, the NC membrane was washed three times in PBST. Binding was revealed by incubation with a DAB reagent. A positive reaction was represented by adeep brown spot,Irdlcating that IgY had better activity; if the spot became lighter IgY lost part activity, and when the spot disappeared, the IgY lost a the activty.According to intensity (gray degree)of the dot compared tothe standard, the remained percent of activity of the IgY was calculated. ③IgY was adjusted to three different protein concentrations with PBS: 1, 0.1, 0.01 g/L and stayed at room temperature for four months. 10 μg lgY was taken out from each concentration sample every month to detect the activity by dot-immunobinding assay. ④IgY was put into seven EP tubes with 100 μL per tube and numbered 1-7. Number 1 to 3 was adjusted pH to 5, 3 and 2, respectively with 1 mol/L HCI; Number 4 to 6 was to 9, 11 and 12, respectively with 1 mol/L NaOH. The pH of number 7 was neutral without adding acid or base. The samples were stayed in incubator at 37 ℃ for 3 hours. 10 μg IgY from each tube was taken every hour to detect the stability at different pH by dot-immunobinding assay. ⑤IgY was added to six EP tubes (10 μL per tube) and numbered 1-6. Number 1-6 was put into waterbath at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 ℃ for 15 minutes. After cooled in refrigerator at 4 ℃, 10 mg samples from each tube and standard sample (untreated sample) taken to check the thermal stability by dot-immunobinding assay.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①SDS-PAGE of IgY. ②IgY stability at room temperature. ③IgY stability at different pH. ④ Detection of IgY thermal stability.RESULTS: ①Purified IgY after SDS-PAGE had two major binds, the molecular mass of the heavy chain was 66.000,and the light chain was 25 000. ②1, 0.1, 0.01 g/L IgY still had partial activity after staying at room temperature for four months. ③When pH ranged from 5 to 9, IgY still had partial activity after staying in 37 ℃ for 3 hours. If pH was lower than 5 or higher than 9, it lost the whole activity in above condition. ④Purified IgY was added to six EP tubes, the number 1-4 still had partial activity, but number 5 and 6 showed some white precipitate, which was caused by protein denaturation at higher temperature.CONCLUSION: IgY stability is higher than others. The dot-immunobinding assay described a rapid and simple method for the demonstration and characterization of functional activity of egg yolk antibody. With only small volume antigen and antibody, and specific dot, the dot-immunobinding assay method could process many samples at the same time.

Objective To assess the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in Shanghai adults according to the criteria of the US National Cholesterol Education Programme Adult Treatment PanelⅢ ( NCEP ATP Ⅲ) definition. Methods Randomly selected adults were studied by means of stratified sampling. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Shanghai with a representative sample of 7 414 Chinese adults aged 35-74 years.Results Defined by the ATPⅢ criterion, the preliminary prevalence of MS was 19.81%. The prevalence of MS was 16.21% (95%CI 15.37%-17.05% ) after age was adjusted. The prevalence of MS was higher in female than in male (22.59% vs 16.64% ,P<0.01 ), and higher in urban than rural residents( 17.43% vs 17.16% ,P<0.01 ). The prevalence of MS increased with age in both male and female, especially in females aged above 55 years. There were 19.81% subjects with over 3 risk factors. The most common combination of four components in MS were central obesity, high triglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and hypertension. Conclusions There is a high prevalence of MS in Shanghai adults. MS is increasingly becoming a noteworthy health problem. Early-diagnosis and integrated-methods of prevention and treatment of MS are mandatory.
