Objective To investigate the value of soluble epithelial cadherin(sE-cad)in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusion. Methods Patients were divided into malignant pleural effusion group,infective pleural effusion group and transudation group.sE-cad in pleural fluids obtained during the first thoracocentesis was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The concentration of sE-cad in all kinds of pleural effusions was compared.The cut-off value of sE-cad for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant pleural effusion was determined by ROC curve.The diagnostic value of sE-cad was also compared with common tumor markers such as CEA,CA199,CA125 and NSE.Results The concentration of sE-cad was significant higher in the malignant pleural effusion than in the benign pleural effusion[(38.38?4.15)ng/mL vs(14.17?0.80)ng/mL,P

To evaluate the effect of Vitamin E on mitoc bond rial function of cold exposed rats male weaning rats were divided randomly into three groups. The group A was supplemented with 30 mg ?-tocopherol and 15?g sodium selenite per 100gm basal diet. The group B and C were fed basal diet on- ly. The group A and B were kept at the cold room (-2?1℃) and the group C kept at room temperature. Liver mitochondria were isolated for measurement of its respiratory function. Succinate was utilized as substrates of oxidative phosphorylation. Respiration rates of state 3 oxygen uptake and therefore ATP synthesis were found to increase with Vitamin E supplemented diet. Significantly less decline of ADP/O ratios and RCR was observed for group A than that of group B. These results suggest that Vitamin E has the effect of maintaining the physiological intactness of mitochondria of the cold exposed rats, and therefore may enhance the metabolic conservation of energy with the consequence of increasing the ability of cold tolerance of the cold exposed animals.

OBJECTIVEThis paper aims to develop a monoclonal antibodies (MAbs)- based ELISA for detecting Chlamydophila pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) antigens in humans with the variable domains (VD) 2 and 3 of the major outer membrane protein (MOMPVD2-VD3) and to assess its sensitivity and specificity by comparing with a widely used MAb that is able to recognize the elementary bodies of C. pneumoniae.

METHODSMOMPVD2-VD3 were overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified by affinity chromatography. Mice were immunized with the recombinant antigen, and hybridomas secreting MAbs were screened. Three stable hybridomas clones were selected and named 5D6, 7G3, and 8C9. The MAbs-based ELISA was scrutinized for species-specific recognition with a number of human throat swab samples from Group I (156 patients with typical respiratory illness clinically confirmed before) and Group II (57 healthy donors).

RESULTSIn Group I, 55 positive cases were detected by anti-EB MAb-based ELISA, 51 cases were positive by MAbs 5D6-based ELISA, and 33 and 38 cases were positive by MAb 8C9 and 7G3-based ELISA respectively. Of the 57 samples from Group II "healthy donors", 5 were positive and 52 were negative with both anti-EB and 5D6-based tests, while 2 and 3 positive cases were identified by the other two MAb-based ELISAs respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe novel MOMPVD2-VD3 MAb-based assay may have higher specificity than the anti-EB MAb, which may possibly be used as an alternative tool for the diagnosis of C. pneumoniae infection.

The chemical constituents isolated from Desmodium species (Leguminosae) included terpenoids, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids compounds. Modem pharmacological studies have showed that the Desmodium species have antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, diuretic, antipyretic, analgesic and choleretic activity. This article mainly has reviewed the research advances of chemical constituents and biological activities of Desmodium species since 2003.

Objective To explore the hierarchical chain management model in blood glucose control and its influence factors in patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods Health management database of diabetic patients was established in 2007 and managed by hierarchical chain management.The number of the patients reached to 1010 till 2011.The blood glucose control of diabetic patients was analyzed and its influence factors were analyzed by multivariate unconditional Logistic regression method.Results The concentration of glycosylated hemoglobin( HbA1c ) of 1010 patients with type 2 diabetes was (8.21 ±:2.70)％.Four hundred and eighty-seven cases (48.22％) reached the blood glucose standard,303 cases (30.00％)reached the blood pressure standard,245 cases (24.26％) reached the blood lipids standard,and 76 cases (7.52％) reached all three standards.Multivariate analysis showed that occupation (OR =2.521,95％ CI:1.871 - 3.397),education level (OR =1.890,95％ CI:1.642 - 2.174),disease course (OR =1.035,95％CI:1.016 -1.055),systolic pressure (OR =1.016,95％ CI:1.007 -1.025) and triglyceride (OR =1.204,95％CI:1.063 - 1.365) were the risk factors of blood glucose control (P ＜0.01).Conclusions Hierarchical chain management model is helpful for the blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes.The comprehensive control and treatment of type 2 diabetes should be taken combined with related risk factors,such as blood pressure,blood lipids and diabetes disease course.

-2,and T)was detected on exon 11 in the mutational analysis of GABRG2.Our results indicate that genomic variations of GABRG2 are not likely to be substantially involved in the etiology of GEFS+in this family. Conclusion Our study fails to provide evidence supporting a causal relation between the SCN1A,SCN1B, GABRG2 mutation and the etiologic genes in this family,which indicates that GEFS+has with phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity.

The study was purposed to analyze DNA and allele structure of the partial D phenotypes D(Va) and D(VI) of the Rhesus blood group in Chinese. Through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct genomic DNA sequencing, the RHD gene was detected in three weak D individuals identified serologically. The results showed that among the three weak D individuals, one was identified as partial D phenotype D(Va) (Hus) type and genotyped DccEe; another two were testified as D(VI) III type and genotyped DCcee. Moreover, the breakpoints of the replaced region by RHCE in D(Va) (Hus) were 5' end of the exon 5 and 3' end of the intron 5, and there were 7 novel polymorphisms in intron 5: 23-25(GCA)2, 98G>A, 168-169insG, 205-206insT, 494-495insA, 1256-1257insC, 1347G>T. In conclusion the whole exon 5 and intron 5 are replaced by RHCE in D(Va) (Hus) detected in Chinese.
