Objective To compare serum protein fingerprint among Uygur patients with thyroid cancer and benign thyroid nodules, and Han patients with thyroid cancer, and to screen ethnic-specific protein markers of thyroid cancer. Methods Using the technology of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), the protein expression profiles of Uygur and Han patients with thyroid cancer and Uygur patients with thyroid nodules were established and compared by image analysis software between two groups. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry coupling techniques ( LC-MS/MS) were used to identify differential protein. The protein′s name, cellular localization and functional classification were searched in Swissport database. Results There are 11 differentially expressed proteins by comparison of sera in Uygur patients with benign thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer, in which complement C3 and C4b levels were down-regulated in the serums of Uygur patients with benign thyroid nodules, and 9 proteins such as heme-binding proteins etc were up-regulated. There are 7 differentially expressed proteins by comparison of serums in Uygur and Han patients with thyroid cancer, in which transferrin level was up-regulated in the serum of Uygur patients with thyroid cancer, and 6 proteins such as cytokeratin-1 etc were down-regulated in serum of Uygur patients with thyroid cancer. Conclusion Combined screening of multiple labelled proteins including heme-binding protein,α2-macroglobulin, and transferrin protein etc may provide the basis for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer in Uygurs and Hans.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of patients with ankylosing spondylitis ( AS) and malignancies. Methods: In the study, 31 AS patients with malignancies in Peking University First Hospital from January 2006 to July 2014 were enrolled, and their clinical features were compared with AS patients without malignancies at the same time in the hospital. Then their general characteristics, clinical and imaging findings of AS, characteristics of malignancies and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The 31 cases of AS with malignacies accounted for 11 . 8% of all AS patients admitted to the hos-pital in the same period. They comprised of 27 males (87%) and 4 females (13%) . Their mean ages at diagnosis of AS were 43 ± 17 years ( range:16-76 years) , and their mean ages at diagnosis of malig-nancy were 60 ± 12 years ( range:31-87 years) respectively. Malignancy was diagnosed after the estab-lishment of AS in 27 of our patients. Furthermore, imaging changes typical of AS were found in all the 31 patients at the diagnosis of AS, but the majority of them had never received any proper treatment for AS. The malignancies of 31 AS patients included bladder cancer (7 cases) , hematological malignancy (6 ca-ses), lung cancer (5 cases), renal cancer (5 cases), prostate cancer (2 cases), carcinoma of renal pelvis (2 cases) , breast cancer (2 cases) , gastric carcinoma (2 cases) , rectal cancer (2 cases) , neu-roendocrine carcinoma (2 cases) , colon carcinoma (1 case) , and esophagus cancer (1 case) . Conclu-sion:There is risk of malignancy in AS. Malignancy is not rare in patients with AS. Bladder cancer is the most common one followed by hematological malignancy. In consequence, close attention should be paied to the conditon of AS with malignancy in clinical practice.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the impact of the flood disaster on the distribution of Oncomelania snails in 2020 in Wuhu City, to provide scientific basis for formulating the "14th Five-Year Plan" for schistosomiasis control and precise prevention and control measures in Wuhu City. Methods Systematic sampling combined with environmental spot check was used to investigate the distribution of snails in the historical snail's environment, existing snail's environment and suspected snail's environment in Wuhu City. The collected snails were crushed and examined by microscope to understand the death and life of snails and the infection of Schistosoma japonicum, and the density of live snails and other indicators were counted. Results The historical area of snails was 14 475.24 hm2 in Wuhu City, and the existing area of snails was 4 588.72 hm2, including 4 210.32 hm2 for lake type and 378.40 hm2 for hill type snails. The average occurrence rate of live snails was 14.59%, and the average density of live snails was 0.50 snails/0.1 m2 in Wuhu City. There were 2 745 snail breeding environments, of which 491 were lake type and 2 254 are hill type, accounting for 17.89% and 82.11% respectively. The existing snail area was mainly distributed in the beaches and ditches, accounting for 92.51% and 6.29% of the existing snail area respectively. Some snails were distributed in ponds, paddy fields and other environments. Among all the historical snail habitats, the majority were class Ⅱ and class Ⅲ environments (which still have the basic conditions for snail breeding at present), with a total of 1 739 sites (blocks), accounting for 63.35% of the total environment. No schistosomiasis infected snails have been found, and the newly discovered and recovered snails cover an area of 268.21 hm2 in Wuhu City. Conclusions The distribution of snails is extensive in Wuhu City, and snails are mostly distributed in beaches, which are vulnerable to the impact of flood disasters. The spread of Oncomelania snails is found in 30 marshlands in 3 counties in this survey. It is necessary to continue to strengthen snail monitoring after disasters, and take class Ⅱ and class Ⅲ environments as key areas for snail monitoring, so as to find, identify and evaluate the risk of schistosomiasis transmission as soon as possible, to avoid or reduce the impact of flood disasters on the process of schistosomiasis control, and promote the process of schistosomiasis elimination.
