Conclusion Research shows comprehensive evaluation of hospital medical quality needs a scientific target system. Using factor analysis and combining weighted TOPSIS in comprehensive evaluation is more objective and more scientific and authentic as take full advantage of the original source.

Objective We adopt acupuncture associating with TAX,to investigate the anti-cancer effect and mechanism.Methods 48 mice with inoculated Lewis Lung Carcinoma were divided randomly into 4 groups:model group,acupuncture group,medicine group,combination of acupuncture and medicine group.Growth state of the mice and change curve of tumour.Protein expression of apoptosis related factor p53 and Bc1-2 in tumour were observed by Western Blotting method.Results Acupuncture,TAX and the combination of acupuncture and TAX separately had anti-tumor effect,with the combination was the best and improve growth state of the mice.p53 and bc1-2 can be detected in four groups.Compared with model group,the expression of other groups was lower.Compared with acupuncture group and medicine group, the exprission of combination group of acupuncture and TAX was lower.Conclution Combination of acupuncture and TAX can prohibit p53 Mutant and decrease Bcl-2,which have co-operating effect.

Objective To study the clinical value of anti-ribosomal P0 protein antibodies (anti-P0). Methods Line immuno-assay and immunoblotting methods were used to detect anti-P0 and rRNP antibodies of 49 SEE patients and 61 patients with other rheumatic diseases.The expressions of anti-P0 were compared with those of rRNP antibodies.Possible relations between anti-P0 and clinical features and other antibodies in SLE were explored.Results 36.7%and 6.1% of SEE patients showed positive anti-P0 and rRNP antibodies respectively.Anti-P0 was always negative in patients with other rheumatic diseases (P＜0.01).Among SLE pa tients,incidence of skin rash was 77.8%(35.5%) ff anti-P0 was found to be positive (negative) (P＜0.05). Besides,for patients with positive and negative anti-P0,the chance of positive anti-SmD1 was 61.1% and 19.4% respectively (P＜0.01).Sensitiviy of anti-P0 for SLE diagnosis was 36.73% with specificity and positive predictive value as high as 100%,and 66.30% as the negative predictive value.Conclusion Sera anti-P0 is highly specific for SLE and it is associated with the occurence of rash and the expression of anti-StuD 1 anti bodies in SEE.

Objective To observe the effect of iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism on the protein expressions of calcineurin in the hip-pocampus of pups. Methods Female Wistar rats (n=28) after pregenancy were randomly divided into control group,hypothyroid group and iodine deficient group. According to the dose of propylthiouracil (PTU) in the fed water, hypothyroid group was divided into 5 ppm group and 15 ppm group (7 rats in each group). Totally 5 pups from each group were sacrificed and perfused intracardially in postnatal day (PN) 7,PN14 and PN21. Brains were removed,fixed and sectioned coronally. All sections were observed and analysed for the protein exression of calcineurin by immunohistochemistry in the hippocampus CA1,CA3 and DG regions. Results In PN14 and PN21,protein levels of cal-cineurin in GA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus in iodine-deficient and 15 ppm treatment groups were significantly higher than those of the controls (P< 0.05) and in DG region,the contrary was true. In PN7,the positive products were scarely observated in each region and the protein expression was no significantly different in all four groups. Conclusion Iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism may increase the protein expression of calcineurin.

Objective To assess the value of combined detection of enterovirus nucleic acid and antibody in early etiological diagnosis for hand-foot-and-mouth disease ( HFMD).Methods A case-control study was conducted.A total of 1 066 cases of children clinically diagnosed with HFMD from Hangzhou Children′s Hospital were involved into the research group from January to June 2014, consisting of 401 common cases and 665 severe cases; Throat swabs and serum samples from these children underwent combined detection for EV71/CA16/EV of enterovirus nucleic acid by fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR and for EV71/CA16-IgM by ELISA.All data were analyzed with SPSS 16.0.Results The total positive rate of enterovirus nucleic acid EV71/CA16/EV by fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR in the 1 066 cases of children clinically diagnosed with HFMD was 75.52%( 805/1 066 ) ( 95%CI: 72.80%-78.05%).But the total positive rate of combined detection was 91.46%( 975/1 066 ) ( 95%CI:89%.58-93.04%).The total positive rate of combined detection is higher than that of RT-PCR test(χ2 =98.338,P=0.000).The positive rate of EV71 type of combined detection was 64.63%(689/1 066)(95%CI:61.67%-67.49%),which is 15.38%higher than that of RT-PCR test 49.25%(525/1 066)(95%CI:46.21%-52.29%)(χ2 =51.453, P=0.000).In 665 severe cases of HFMD, the total positive rate of combined detection was 96.69%(643/665)(95%CI:94.95%-97.87%), which is higher than that of RT-PCR test 79.25%(527/665)(95%CI:75.92%-82.22%)(χ2 =95.607, P =0.000).In the severe cases, the positive rate of EV71 type of combined detection was 87.52%( 582/665 ) ( 95%CI:84.71%-89.89%) , which is 18.95% higher than that of RT-PCR test 68.57%(456/665) (95%CI:64.87%-72.06%) (χ2 =69.665, P=0.000).In the fatal cases, the positive rate of EV71 type of combined detection was 95.92%(94/98) (95%CI:89.28%-98.68%).Conclusions The combined detection of enterovirus nucleic acid and specific IgM antibody can significantly increase the positive rate of HFMD, especially for severe cases.The combine detection increases both the total positive rate and EV71 positive rate.Thus it has a high potential for becoming a new guidelines for laboratory diagnosis of HFMD.
