1.Research advances in monitoring platelet function in patients with coronary artery disease
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2013;(6):489-493
Antiplatelet therapy and stent implantation have been the dominant treatment to reduce the mortality of patients with coronary artery disease.Recently,studies have showed that adverse cardiac events still occur in part of patients with coronary artery disease after the antiplatelet treatment with aspirin and/or clopidogrel.Thus,resistance to aspirin and clopidogrel has attracted increasing attention.It will be great benefit to these patients who were identified resistance and made tailoring antiplatelet therapy So far many platelet function tests has been used in clinical to monitor the reaction of the antiplatelet drugs for prevention and treatment of thrombosis in patients with coronary artery disease.These monitoring tests may be chosen based on different antiplatelet drugs including aspirin,clopidogrel and GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a antagonist.The results of antiplatelet drug resistance may be different due to different platelet function methods,thus the related clinical adverse events needs further verification.
2.Multiple Localized Hyperplastic Gastropathy: Report of A Case with A Special Reference to its Growth Pattern.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1989;23(1):154-159
We present a case of localized mucosal hyperplasia of the stomach. The resected stomach contained four large, short stalked polyps, three of which were located in the anterior wall of body and the other in the posterior wall. In addition, numerous small sessile polyps were also scattered in the anterior and posterior fundic walls. Microscopically, the abnormally thick mucosa, carrying with it the muscularis mucosae and a thin core of loose fibrous tissue comprised the polyps by intraluminal infolding of widening of mucosal area. Abundant vasculature of the rugal pattern was prominent in the submucosa. The above findings suggest that the histogenesis of the polyps is related to both hyperplastic thickening and widening of mucosal areas in rugal pattern in the background of inverted distribution pattern of intestinal metaplasia.

Objective To study the toxicity of herbicide,butachlor,to myocardium of Bufo bufo gargarizans. Methods One hundred and sixty Bufo bufo gargarizans were randomly divided into control group,paddy goup,5 times paddy group,10 times paddy group,forty in each group and the exposure was conducted in the experimental containers at the concentrations of 1,5,10 times of the application dosages( 5,10,30 ml/L) ,1/2 of the body of Bufo bufo gargarizans was immersed in the sulotion. After 3,6,9 days of exposure,electrocardiogram was recorded using calculator living creature signal analysis system and the structures of atrium muscle and ventricles muscle were observed with HE stain. Results The structure of myocardial cells of Bufo bufo gargarizans was damaged by butachlor with different levels. Pathological examination showed that the myocardial cells appeared necrosis in different degrees with the increasing doses of butachlor. Butachlor could affact the eletrocardiogram of Bufo bufo gargarizans with obvious dose-time-dependent manner,time-dependent manner was even dominant. Abnormal electrocardiogram was seen,P-R and Q-T changed. Conclusion Butachlor exposure can damage the structure and eletrocardiogram of myocardial cell in Bufo bufo gargarizans.

Glutathione S-transferase (28GST) with molecular mass of 28 kDa is an antioxidant enzyme abundant in Clonorchis sinensis. In adult C. sinensis, 28GST was localized in tegumental syncytium, cytons, parenchyma, and sperm tails examined by immunoelectron microscopy. C. sinensis 28GST was earlier found to neutralize bioreactive compounds and to be rich in eggs. Accordingly, it is suggested that 28GST plays important roles in phase II defense system and physiological roles in worm fecundity of C. sinensis.

Improvement of lichen planus was achieved by 11 weeks of daily oral treatment with griseofulvin. The patient was 59-year-old male, has had hypertension and diabetes mellitus for 9 months, and history of various drug intake to these diseses for 6 months. Four months before first visit, symptome of lichen planus had developed suddenly. Because of treatment failure of oral antihistamine and topical steroid for 6 weeks, we began to use griseofulvin. Praspective studies are needed to better assess the affectiveness of griseafulvin in the treatment of lichen planus.

Objective To establish a real-time fluorescence quantitative methylation assay to investigate the methylation status of GSH-sulphur-transferase P1(GSTP1) gene promoter region in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and to investigate whether which can be used as the early diagnostic indicator of HCC .Methods Ninety-five serum samples were collected from 40 patients with HCC ,30 patients with liver cirrhosis and 25 individuals with healthy physical examination as controls .The methylation level of GSTP1 gene in these serum samples were quantitatively determined by using the real-time fluorescence quantitative methylated spe-cific PCR technique .The receiver-operation characteristic(ROC) curves were adopted to evaluate its diagnostic value for HCC .Re-sults The methylation quantitative level of GSTP1 gene in HCC serum was significantly higher than that in the healthy controls (P<0 .05) .The ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the methylation quantitative analysis of GSTP1 gene could efficiently distin-guish HCC and cirrhosis from healthy controls (AUC=0 .8641) .With the methylation rate of 2% as the critical value for diagno-sing HCC ,its diagnostic specificity was 87 .5% ,the sensitivity was 69 .6% ;the combination detection of serum GSTP1 gene methy-lation and serum AFP could increase the detection rate of HCC to 75% .Conclusion The real-time fluorescence quantitative methyl-ation assay can accurately quantify the methylation level of serum GSTP1 gene ,which has certain application value for the early di-agnosis of HCC .

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of human serum albumin for surgical inpatients. METHODS:The utilization of human serum albumin for surgical inpatients in a hospital during Jan.-Mar. 2014 was analyzed and evaluated by UHC Guidelines for the Use of Album,Nonprotein Colloid,and Crystalloid Solutions(2010 edition)and European Immune Globu-lin and Albumin Use Recommendation. RESULTS:Among the 556 patients,totally 895 human serum albumin application were con-ducted,mainly involving development of gastrointestinal surgery(29.7%),hepatobiliary surgery(25.9%)and cardiothoracic sur-gery(13.1%). The main reasons were correcting hypoalbuminemia(62.9%),followed by albumin supplemented during major sur-gery(7.9%)and alleviating ascites in patients with cirrhosis(4.4%);only 95 applications(10.6%)were considered appropriate. The most prevalent inappropriate reason was for correcting hypoalbuminemia. CONCLUSIONS:Human serum albumin in the surgi-cal inpatients in the hospital shows a large amount,and low consistent rate between indications and guidelines. The rational stan-dardized utilization of human serum albumin should be strengthened.

Objective:To generate rabbit polyclonal antibody against human Argonaute2 (Ago2) protein and to identify its functional characterization for determination of differential expression and cellular localization of Ago2 protein in various cell lines.Methods:DNAstar software was applied for searching the high antigenicity region of Ago2 gene sequence termed k-Ago2.Prokaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed and transformed to E.coli BL21 (DE3) to induce expression by IPTG.The fusion protein was injected into rabbits subcutaneously to produce polyclonal antibodies after purification by gel regaining.ELISA was operated to detect antibody titer.Western blot was used to identify the specificity and sensitivity of the antibodies and detect the differential expression of Ago2 protein in various cell lines.Meanwhile,immunofluorescence experiments were arranged to show cellular localization of Ago2 protein.Results:The prokaryotic expressing plasmid was constructed correctly.K-Ago2 protein was expressed and purified,and then rabbit polyclonal antibodies against Ago2 were generated after immunization with k-Ago2 protein.The titer detected by ELISA was 1∶19 000.Western blot results demonstrated the high specificity of the antibodies.Finally,we successfully observed the differential expression and cellular localization of Ago2 protein in various cell lines.Conclusion:The polyclonal antibody against Ago2 protein has been achieved successfully.It will be propitious for the intensive study of the RNAi mechanism and even profound clinical application.
