Objective:The study aims to screen chemosensitivity-associated proteins in colorectal carcinoma tissues by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry,then identify some differentially-expressed proteins. Methods:The patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma were confirmed by clinical diagnosis. Fresh carcinoma specimens were collected by biopsy and preserved in liquid N2. The tissues were classified into two groups: high sensitivity group (HS) and low sensitivity group (LS) based on drug sensitivity test. The total proteins were extracted and separated by 2-DE. The images were composed, compared, and differentially analyzed to identify the proteins with differential expression in HS and LS groups. Then the differentially-expressed protein spots were incised from the gels and digested by trypsin. The peptide mass fingerprintings (PMF) was acquired after matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and the proteins were identified by data searching in the Mascot database. Two proteins with differential expression were detected by Western blotting.Results:The 2-DE spectrum of HS and LS groups were established. Most protein spots were distributed in the area with pH 4-8 and relative molecular weight of (20-100)×10~3. The average number of the protein spots was 842±23 in HS group and 793±19 in LS group,respectively. The mean matching rate was 90.7%. The number of differentially-expressed dots between HS and LS group was 79.00±13.56. Thirty protein dots were selected for mass spectrum and bioinformatic analysis, and 9 proteins were identified. Conclusion:Colorectal carcinoma with different chemosensitivity had differential protein expression profiles. The differentially expressed proteins may be associated with chemosensitivity and could be used for prediction of chemosensitivity of colorectal carcinoma.

Objective To demonstrate the result that progression of disease and prognosis of gastrointestinal cancer patients are correlated with the expression of the cluster and the abundance of lost goodwill target (LGT) fingerprint. Methods To research the period of survival and the time of death, 61 patients treated by SELDI (Surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometer)were involved in. According to the fingerprint spectrum obtained by SELDI and the appearance of fingerprints of LGT, these patients were divided into four groups namely non-peak, single-peak, double-peak, tri-peak and multi-peak groups. By means of Multi-factor analysis of variance and Cox regression analysis of risk, we compare four groups each other so as to find out one group in which patients have the greatest risk of death.Results Among the fingerprint spectrums of patients suffered from gastrointestinal cancer, which were obtained by SELDI, the patients with negative expression of LGT had low risk of death, which were lower than those of single-peak and double-peak groups, especially lower than those of tri-peak and multi-peak groups;the risk of death among the tri-peak and multi-peak groups were much higher than single-peak, the difference had statistical significance (P <0.05), and the death rate is rather high. Conclusion Among the serums from cancer patients tested by SELDI, the expression of LGT with tri-peak and multi-peak suggested that patient' s state of illness is about to deteriorate. This kind of fingerprint spectrum can be regarded as positive indicators,and the negative expression of LGT suggested that patient will have a good prognosis with a very low risk of death in the near future.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of hemodynamic alternation surrounding the hematoma in the acute stage of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats.MethodsSeventy male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into ICH group and sham operated group, which were microinjected with 40 μl fresh autologous blood or saline into the right caudatum respectively. The each group was divided into 7 subgroups at 1h,3h,6h,12h,24h,48h and 72h after the ICH. CT perfusion imaging in measurements of regional cerebral blood flow adjacent to hematomas was performed. The ratios of side to side were measured at the regions around the hematomas by personal computer aided mapping. So the parameters of regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF), regional cerebral blood volume(rCBV) and mean transit time(MTT) were calculated respectively.ResultsThe rCBF and rCBV adjacent to the hematomas were lower than those of the outer region pronouncedly. The alternation of rCBF around the hematoma were fluctuated, which reduced to the valley at 1h after ICH, and then gradually returned to the peaks at 6h and 24h after ICH. In the meantime, the rCBV around the hematoma reduced to the valley at 1h after ICH, and then gradually increased to the peak at 24h after ICH.ConclusionThe abnormal hemodynamic changes can be found in the perihematomal region after ICH. The alternation of rCBF around the hematomas are fluctuated, but the changes of rCBV remain continuous increase. The mass effect of hematoma, intracranial hypertension caused by the mass effect of hematoma, and the autoregulation of cerebral blood flow motivated by the initial depression of cerebral blood flow play a very important role in the changes of cerebral blood flow.

Objective:To explore the reliability of Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and to understand the characteristics of retreated patients, so as to provide clues for the investigation of retreated patients.Methods:905 patients sputum with suspected tuberculosis from July 2019 to December 2019 were collected from the Tuberculosis Department of Changsha Central Hospital. Xpert was used for rapid screening of tuberculosis. MGIT960 and Roche culture method were used for rapid sputum culture and drug sensitivity, respectively. Rifampin (RIF) resistance was compared between Xpert and Roche culture. The gender, age, RIF resistance, occupation and diabetes mellitus of patients with positive Xpert were compared, and the risk factors of RIF resistance were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results:The total detection rate of Xpert was 28.7%(260/905) in 905 suspected pulmonary tuberculosis patients; RIF resistance rate accounted for 20.8%(54/260) in 260 positive patients, and the main mutation types were probe-E and probe-D. There was no significant difference between traditional drug sensitivity and Xpert method in RIF resistance detection ( P>0.05); There was no significant difference between Xpert method and traditional drug sensitive cases in predicting isoniazid (INH) resistance ( P=0.293); there were significant differences in age ( t=-3.835, P<0.05), gender, RIF resistance rate and proportion of farmers between newly treated and retreated patients (χ 2=5.091, 16.862, 4.808, P<0.05); Binary logistic regression showed that retreatment was a risk factor for RIF resistance ( OR=3.739, P=0.004). Conclusions:Xpert has high clinical value in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and RIF resistance; The retreated patients were older, and the proportion of male farmers was larger, with higher resistance rate to RIF.
