Objective To evaluate the performance of T-SPOT.TB Test and serological tuberculosis antibody(TB-Ab) in tuberculosis-assisted diagnosis.Methods Patients were diagnosed as tuberculosis from 2015 January to 2016 March in the hospital.T-SPOT.TB and tuberculosis antibody detection were performed for those patients.Results In 112 cases of tuberculosis patients,101 cases of T-SPOT.TB test were positive and the sensitivity was 90.18%,32 cases of tuberculosis antibody detection were positive and the sensitivity was 28.57%.In 41 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis,T-SPOT.TB assay showed positive results in 40 patients and the sensitivity was 97.56%,tuberculosis antibody detection showed positive results in 18 patients and the sensitivity was 43.9%;in 71 cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis,T-SPOT.TB assay showed positive results in 61 patients and the sensitivity was 85.91%,tuberculosis antibody detection showed positive results in 14 patients and the sensitivity was 19.7%.Conclusion T-SPOT.TB was superior to serological tuberculosis antibody(TB-Ab),and the diagnosis of active tuberculosis was higher,and the sensitivity of T-SPOT.TB was higher than that of T-SPOT.TB value.

Chronic constipation(CC)is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders. Treatment of CC includes drug and non-drug treatment. Biofeedback(BF)is a psychological behavior therapy and has become the first-line therapy of CC. However,the efficacy of BF reported varied substantially. This article reviewed the evaluation of efficacy of BF on CC.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection,which combined with in vitro fertilization and micromanipulation techniques,has been applied to research the molecular mechanisms of fertilization,and produce the sexing livestock and transgenic animals.The research advances in porcine intracytoplasmic sperm injection,including in vitro maturation and pretreatment of oocytes,selection and treatment of spermatozoon,artificial activation of injected oocytes after injection,and improvement of the operation technique were reviewed.

Objective To investigate the association between the expression of heparanase(Hpa) and the invasion of choriocarcinoma by studying the expression of Hpa in human choriocarcinoma cell lines JEG-3 and JAR and human chorionic villous tissues.Methods(1)Matrigcl invasion assays were used to detect in vitro invasive ability of JEG-3 cells and JAR cells.(2)Expression of Hpa protein in the human chorionic villous tissues and choriocarcinoma cell lines(JEG-3 cells and JAR cells)were detected by immunocytochemistry and western blot.Results(1)The invasive cell number was significantly larger in JEG-3 cells than in JAR cells(191?17 vs 106?13,P

Aim To investigate the role and mechanism of NLRP3 on hypolipidemic effect and anti-inflammative effect of apigenin. Methods Triton-WR 1339-induced hyperlipidemia was applied to wide type C57BL/6 and NLRP3"'" mice, which was treated with apigenin of 6.25 mg • kg"1 • day"1 for five days. Blood and liver tissueswere collected for detecting TC, TG, HDL, LDL, IL-1B, IL-6, MCP-1 and the liver underwent HE staining. The expressions of NLRP3, I L 4, ASC, CD36, CYP7A1 and FGF21 were tested using RT-qPCR. Results Compared with NLRP3 "'" model group, serum contents of TC, TG, HDL, LDL, IL-1B, IL-6, MCP-1 were reduced in NLPR3"'" treated with apigenin of 6. 25 mg • kg"1 (P < 0. 05). The percentage of hepatic steatosis wasdown-regulated by apigenin in pathogenesis observation. However, all these phenotype changes were not observed in WT mice treated with apigenin. Moreover, up-regulation of CD36 and vLDLR and down-regualtion of ASC and IL-4 were founded in both WT and NLRP3"'" model group (P < 0. 05), while down-regulation of FGF21 and up-regulation of CYP7A1 were only seen in NLRP3"/ _ model group but not in WT group. Conclusions Knockout of NLRP3 enhances hypolipidemic effect and anti-inflammative effect of apigenin in triton-1339 IP-induced hyperlipidemia mice, which may be associated with apigenin-regulated FGF21/CYP7A1 pathway without NLRP3 inflammasome interruption.
