Objective To determine the effect of using cytomegalovirus-seronegative blood components in preventing transfusion-acquired cytomegalovirus infection,which laid foundation for the application of blood antibody screening of cytomegalovirus.Methods The documents of studies about the comparison in transfusion-acquired cytomegalovirus ratio between using cytomegalovirus-seronegative blood components with using cytomegalovirus-unscreened /non-WBC-reduced blood were retrieved from the databases of PubMed,MEDLINE,Ovid,ProQuest,EBSCO,Cochrane Library,EMbase,CNKI,VIP,CBM and WanFang Library,and the reference in studies were retrieved by hands at the same time.The documents were screened,extracted and evaluated according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,and then given a Meta-analysis by using Rev Man 5.1 software.Results There were totally 7 controlled studies(430 patients) included.The results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with using cytomegalovirus-unscreened/non-WBC-reduced blood,the effect of using cytomegalovirus-seronegative blood components in preventing transfusion-acquired cytomegalovirus infection had a statistical difference(OR=0.07,95%CI:0.03-0.18,P<0.01).Conclusion Application of blood antibody screening of cytomegalovirus is effective in preventing transfusion-acquired cytomegalovirus infection,especially organ transplantation and neonate patients.

BACKGROUND: There are various reports on studies of tear secretion and tear film function in patients with diabetes mellitus over the past. In recent years, tear proteins have drawn more and more attentions on evaluation of tear film function.OBJECTIVE: To observe the contents of main tear proteins and basal tear secretion of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and normal persons so as to probe into tear secretion and tear film function of patients with diabetes mellitus.DESIGN: Case-control observation was designed.SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, Southwest Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 50 cases (100 eyes) of type 2 diabetes mellitus were employed, which were diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology and Department of Endocrinology, Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from December 2001 to December 2002. They were free from ocular surgical and laser treatment, local medication in recent period and contact lens. Of those, there were 25 cases (50 eyes) in proliferating diabetic retinopathy group and 25 cases (50 eyes) in nonproliferating diabetic retinopathy group. In addition, 25 cases (50 eyes) of normal persons with matched age and sex were taken as the control group.There was no significant difference in age and sex among 3 groups (x2=0.024,0.321 ;P ＞ 0.05). All of the participants were in the know before the experiment.METHODS: [1] Tear collection: 10 cases (20 eyes) were randomized from two diabetic groups and the control successively. Capillary pipette method was used to collect non-irritative tear 10 μL from lower lacrimal punctum that was preserved in refrigerator at -20 ℃ (＜ 1 month). [2] Determination of total tear protein amount: Lorry method was used to determine the concentration of total tear protein, in which, calf serum albumin was taken as the criteria. [3] Determination of contents of main tear proteins: SDS-PAGE (sod.dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) was used and Coomassie brilliant blue staining and Bio-Rad imaging analyzing system were applied for the analysis of isolated protein strips in quality and quantity. [4] Determination of rupture time of tear film: glass rod was used to get 20 g/L fluorescein sodium and drop in conjunctival sac. The examined person was required to blink gently for several times and open the eyes naturally and stare forward. That the first ruptured "black hole" was discovered on the complete tear film was taken as the rupture time of tear film. [5] Experiment of basal tear secretion: No.41 Whatmann filtering paper was used, folded in 5 mm, and placed at 1/3 of conjunctiva in the lower eyelid. Five minutes later, the paper was removed and length of it after wetting was measured. [6]Experiment with rose Bengal staining: glass rod was used to get 10 g/L rose Bengal and drop in conjunctival sac. After eyes blinking for several minutes, the observation was performed with green light filter under slit lamp (evaluation criteria: corneal conjunctiva of palpebral fissure stained+, stained to the inferior bulbar conjunctiva++,stained to the superior bulbar conjunctiva). Dry eye disease was diagnosed indirectly with red-stained epithelial cells and mucin.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: [1] Concentration of total tear protein. [2]Concentrations of various main tear proteins. [3] Rupture time of tear film. [4]Value of basal tear secretion. [5] Positive rate of rose Bengal staining.RESULTS: Totally 50 cases (100 eyes) in diabetes groups and 25 cases(50 eyes) in the control group all entered result analysis. [1] Concentration of total tear protein: there was no significant difference among 3 groups (P＞ 0.05). [2] Concentrations of various main tear proteins: the results of lysozyme, lactoferritin and tear specific prealbumin in proliferating diabetic retinopathy group were lower remarkably compared with the control[ (0.94±0.21)vs ( 1.33±0.31 )g/L , ( 1.10±0.24)vs ( 1.67±0.43 )g/L, (0.98±0.22) vs (1.49±0.32)g/L, P ＜ 0.01]. Compared with non-proliferating diabetic retinopathy group, the results of lactoferritin and tear specific prealbumin were lower (P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in human serum albumin among 3 groups (P ＞ 0.05). [3] Rupture time of tear film:compared with non-proliferating diabetic retinopathy group and the control, the rupture time of tear film in proliferating diabetic retinopathy group was reduced significantly [(7.68±2.21)s vs (9.92±2.37)s and(10.80±2.23)s,(P ＜ 0.01 )]. [4] Value of basal tear secretion: the value in proliferating diabetic retinopathy group was less significantly than that in non-proliferating diabetic retinopathy group and the control [ (8.00±2.10)vs( 11.02± 1.97 )mm and ( 12.17±2.08 )mm, P ＜ 0.05]. [5] Positive rate of rose Bengal staining: the positive rate in proliferating.diabetic retinopathy group was higher significantly than non-proliferating diabetic retinopathy group and the control (48% vs 24% and 14%, P ＜ 0.05, P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: It is suggested in the results of this paper that abnormal tear secretion and tear film function are apt to present in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the declined tear film function is more remarkably in the patients with proliferating diabetic retinopathy specially. SDS-PAGE benefits the discovery of changes in tear proteins in diabetic patients.

Objective To develop a highly sensitive and accurate time-resolved immunofluorometric assay (TR-IFMA) for measurement of Dickkopf-1(DKK-1),as a novel serologic biomarker for lung cancer. Methods The study constructed a two-manoclonal-antibody "sandwich"-type assay and the sensitivity, within run CV and between run CV and accuracy were evaluated. Serum DKK-1 concentrations were measured by TR-IFMA in 120 healthy controls, in 72 benign lung disease patients, and in 212 lung cancer patients before surgery. The association between serum DKK-1 levels and clinicopathological features were evaluated. Results A standard curve for DKK-1 TR-IFMA had been developed with good sensitivity (0.08 μg/L). Both within run CV and between run CV were less than 6.5%. Accuracy studies, parallelism and precision data were determined and all found to be satisfactory. The validity of DKK-1 assay was confirmed by the good correlation between the results obtained by TR-IFMA and commercial ELISA (r=0.972, P=0.01). The serum levels of DKK-1 were higher in lung cancer patients 31.93(79.47-18.03) μg/L than in benign lung diseases 15.25(18.41-11.49) μg/L and in healthy controls 13. 90( 16. 91-11.02) μg/L DKK-1 levels were significant associated with the presence of distant metastases, as well as lymph node metastases and TNM stage, but not with patients' age, gender and tumor histology. At the cutoff of 22.63 μg/L, the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the TR-IFMA for lung carcinoma were 68.4%, 92.2%, 82.1% ,90.6% and 72.5%. Diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy were higher for small cell carcinoma than for non-small cell carcinoma (70.7% vs 69.5% and 85.6% vs 80.7%, respectively). Conclusions A highly sensitive and reliable TR-IFMA for DKK-1 has been developed. The determination of serum DKK-1 levels may be useful for diagnosis and tumor staging of lung cancer.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of Cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)andVascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in laryngeal carcinoma tissue and its clinical significance. METHODS Sixty-five samples of laryngeal carcinoma and thirty-four biopsies of adjacent noncancerous tissue were immunohistochemically examined for expression of COX-2 and VEGF, whose relationship with clinicopathological parameters was also analysied. RESULTS Percentages of COX-2 and VEGF expression in laryngeal carcinoma tissue were 63.08% and 70.77% respectively, which were higher than those in adjacent noncancerous tissue(P

Objective:To explore the expression of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) and S-100 positive dendritic cell in laryngeal carcinoma tissue and their clinical significance.Method:Sixty-five samples of laryngeal carcinoma and thirty-four biopsies of adjacent noncancerous tissue were obtained. Immunohistochemical technique(SP method) was used to detect the expression of COX-2 and S-100 positive dendritic cell, and the relationship of their expression with clinical pathological parameters and prognosis was analyzed.Result:The rates of COX-2 expression were 63.08%(41/65)and 14.70%(5/34)in laryngeal carcinoma and control group, respectively. The difference was significant(P＜0.05).The positive expression of COX-2 was correlated with T and clinical stage in laryngeal carcinoma(all P＜0.05).The rates of S-100 positive dendritic cell expression were 61.54%(40/65)and 0 in laryngeal carcinoma and control group, respectively. The difference was significant(P＜0.05).S-100 positive dendritic cells showed significant differences between early and late clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (all P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with positive expression of COX-2 and S-100 positive dendritic cell had worse disease-free and overall survival(P＜0.05).Cox regression analysis showed that S-100 positive dendritic cell was indicated as an independent prognostic factor for survival(P＜0.05).Conclusion:COX-2 and S-100 positive dendritic cell are highly expressed in laryngeal carcinoma tissue. It suggests that the expression of COX-2 and S-100 positive dendritic cell is related to the process of carcinogenesis and may be the important indicators in laryngeal carcinoma for prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of Ang-2 and MMP-7 protein in laryngeal carcinoma tissue.Method:Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the expression of Ang-2 and MMP-7 protein in 65 tissues of laryngeal carcinoma and 34 biopsies of adjacent non-cancerous tissue. The relationship between the expression of Ang-2 and MMP-7 and invasion, metastasis or prognosis in laryngeal carcinoma tissue was analyzed.Result:The positive rates of Ang-2 and MMP-7 were significantly higher in laryngeal carcinoma tissue than those in adjacent non-cancerous tissue(P＜0.05).The level of Ang-2 and MMP-7 expression had no significant correlations with the age and course as well as the smoking, drinking, histological differentiation of carcinoma and clinical classification (P＞0.05).While the expression of Ang-2 significantly differed between patients with different T stage and clinical stage(P＜0.05), and the expression of MMP-7 was notably correlated with the T stage,clinical stage and lymph node metastases (P＜0.05).There was a correlation between the expression of Ang-2 and MMP-7 (P＜0.05).The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with positive expression of Ang-2 had worse overall survival(P＜0.05).However,MMP-7 expression was not related to overall survival or disease-free survival (all P＞0.05).Cox regression analysis indicated that Ang-2 and MMP-7 expression were independent prognostic factors of laryngeal carcinoma.Conclusion:Overexpression of Ang-2 and MMP-7 was observed in laryngeal carcinoma and they might be served as an objective indicator for biological behaviour and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of intestinal ischemia reperfusion (IIR) on the progression of inflammatory reaction in hemorrhagic necrosis pancreatitis (HNP).Methods Eighty rats were randomly divided into sham operation (SO) group,acute edematous pancreatitis (AEP) group,AEP + IIR group and HNP group according to the random number table.Erythrocyte velocity (EV),functional capillary density (FCD) and leukocyte adherence (LA) were observed at 0,1,2,3 and 6 hours after the models were completed.The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected.All data were analyzed by using the analysis of variance or the t test.Results The level of EV in the AEP group significantly decreased at 1 hour,and got increased at 3 hours,while the level of EV in the AEP group was still significantly lower than that in the SO group ( t =9.60,P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of EV in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group constantly decreased,and increased at 6 hours,but were continually lower than that in the AEP group ( t =6.03,6.12,P ＜0.05 ).The level of FCD in the AEP group was significantly lower than that in the SO group at 3 hours ( t =8.20,P＜0.05).The levels of FCD in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group were significantly lower than that in the AEP group at 3 hours (t =35.60,23.80,P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with AEP group,the level of LA in the AEP group was significantly increased at 1 hour ( t =75.00,P ＜ 0.05 ) and reached peak at 3 hours.The levels of LA in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group were significantly higher than that in the AEP group at 1,2,3,6 hours (t =23.00,29.50,53.00,38.70,23.10,48.20,39.20,47.50,P＜0.05).Compared with SO group,the level of TNF-α in the AEP group significantly increased since l hour (t =77.00,P ＜ 0.05),and began to decrease at 3 hours; the levels of TNF-α in the AEP +IIR group and HNP group at 2 hours were significantly higher than that in the AEP group (t =23.50,18.10,P＜0.05).The levels of IL-6 in the AEP group at 1,2,3,6 hours were significantly higher than those in the SO group ( t =93.50,146.00,243.60,209.20,P ＜ 0.05 ).The levels of IL-6 in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group at 1 hour were not significantly different from that in the AEP group ( t =2.30,2.03,P ＞ 0.05),while the levels of IL-6 in the AEP + IIR group and HNP group at 2 hours were significantly higher than that in the AEP group (t =35.63,29.80,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion IIR may enhance the inflammatory reaction of AEP and IIR might be one of the factors to exaggerate the inflammatory reaction of HNP.

Objective To analyze the possible reasons of failed surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. Methods Various methods were used for positive patient identification, including according to Matta's X-ray assessment and Merle d'Aubigne & Postel hip function score of clinical standards for classification of acetabular fracture reduction surgery were not satisfied or not carried out a reduction and fixation,the clinical evaluation of hip joint as a "bad", occurrence of femoral head subluxation or dislocation, femoral head necrosis and other serious complications. From February 2000 to February 2008, 22 patients including 14 males and 8 females with an average age of 38.6 years (range, 18-72 years) were considered as failed cases. Results 45.5% of these cases were posterior wall fractures which were not given any fixation, 27.3% of them were posterior column fractures which were not fixed, 13.6% of them whose reduction and fixation of anterior wall fractures were not satisfied, and 9.1% of them were anterior column fractures which needed fixation. One case should take open reduction and iternal fixation instead of THA. The rate of misdiagnosis and mistaken diagnosis were 90% if only X-ray evaluation was made and this rate decreased to 8.3% if computed tomography was taken. The rate of wrong selection of operative approach was 100% in 10 cases of misdiagnosis, and which was 58.3% in 12 cases of correct diagnosis. In the 5 patients with correct diagnosis and selection of operative approach, the reasons of failed surgical treatment were due to imperfect surgical skills in 3 cases, and inappropriate fixation patterns in 2 cases. Conclusion The causes of the failure of surgical treatment for acetabular fracture might include preoperative missed diagnosis and misdiagnose, inappropriate approach, and an unreasonable internal fixation with unskillful technique.

Objective To study the anatomy basis and biomechanical stability of euthyphoria reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation for sacroiliac dislocation,and to evaluate the primary clinical efficacy of this method.Methods The distances from the anterior branches of the nerve roots at L4,and L5 and obturator nerve on the superior border of sacral ala to the sacroiliac joint were measured on 12 adult cadavers (24 sides) fixed and preserved by formalin.Models of sacroiliac dislocation were made on six pelvic specimens of fresh cadavers.A comparison of stability was made on the six models between the fixation studied here and the traditional fixations by posterior percutaneous sacroiliac screws and by anterior sacroiliac joint plates.At the same time,17 patients with type C Tile fracture were treated with our method.The clinical efficacy was analyzed for the 17 patients.Results The distances from the anterior branches of the nerve roots at L4,and L5 and obturator nerve on the superior border of sacral ala to the sacroiliac joint were 20.24?1.20mm,23.80?1.43mm,and 16.26?2.07 mm respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in stability between our method and the traditional fixation by posterior percutaneous sacroiliac screws,though ours seemed better.Follow-ups for the 17 cases averaged 2.2 years,re- vealing fine functional recovery in all according to Matta scoring.Conclusions Euthyphoria reduction and per- cutaneous cannulated screw fixation can lead to sufficient biomechanical stability for the sacroiliac joint and effec- tively avoid nervous injuries.In addition,our method is simple and clinically effective,It is recommendable for small and middle-sized hospitals.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of cycloxygenase-2(COX-2)and matrix metalloproteinase-7(MMP-7)in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC)and their clinical significance. METHODS The expression of COX-2 and MMP-7 in 65 LSCC tissues and 34 adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were studied by immunohistochemical SP method. RESULTS The expression of COX-2 and MMP-7 was observed in 72.3% and 75.4% of the LSCC tissues and in 20.6% and 23.5% of the adjacent non- neoplastic tissues respectively,which had a significant difference(P
