Endoplasmic reticulum is an important organelle in eu-karyotic cells.Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)is usually triggered under cell hypoxia,carbohydrate undersupply or medi-cal treatment.Now,present studies show that ERS could activate several cell signal pathways and the UPR pathway is most widely researched.When UPR activates cell signal pathway,it can reg-ulate cancer drug resistance by involving with DNA damage re-pair,apoptotic suppression and autophagy.

Objective To investigate the level of serum angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) in normal subjects and patients with obesity and newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),and to explore the relationship of serum ANGPTL4 with parameters of body fat,glucose-lipid metabolism,and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR).Methods A total of 160 subjects with normal glucose regulation(NGR) and newly-diagnosed T2DM,were divided into 4 groups:NGR with normal weight group (NGR-NW),NGR with overweight/obese group (NGROW/OB),T2DM with normal weight group (T2DM-NW),and T2DM with overweight/obesity group (T2DM-OW/ OB) according to their body mass index(BMI).ELISA was used to determine the level of serum ANGPTL4.The weight,height,waist circumference,hip circumference,waist hip ratio(WHR),and BMI,fasting insulin(FINS),lipid metabolism parameters,and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were measured.Results Compare with the NGR group,the level of ANGPTL4 was significantly decreased in the T2DM group [(25.75 ±2.85 vs 31.08 ±3.35)ng/ml,P＜0.01],the level of ANGPTL4 in OW/OB group was significantly lower than that in the NW group [(27.27± 3.05 vs 29.04 ± 4.64) ng/ml,P＜0.01].Partial correlation analysis showed that serum ANGPTL4 was negatively correlated with BMI,WHR,FPG,2hPG,HbA1C,FINS,HOMA-IR,AST,ALT,and TG levels(P＜0.01),but positively correlated with the HDL-C(P＜0.01).Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that HbA1C,FINS,and HDL-C were independent risk factors of serum ANGPTL4 (β =-0.825,-0.119,3.301,P＜0.01).Conclusion Serum ANGPTL4 level in T2DM and OW/OB group was lower than that in NGR and NW group.Serum ANGPTL4 is associated with FINS and lipid metabolism,suggesting that it may play an important role in the pathophysiology of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Objective To conduct a methodological evaluation on flowcytomotry fluorescence detection of serum CA242, and to evaluate its value in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.Methods The blood samples of 40 cases of pancreatic cancer, 49 cases of other tumors, 48 cases of benign digestive diseases and 159 healthy volunteers were collected.Fowcytometry fluorescence immunoassay was used to detect serum level of CA242, and it was compared with routine ELISA method to measure its sensitivity and specificity.Results The detection limit of CA242 by flowcytometry fluorescence immunoassay was 0.89 U/ml, the linear range was 1～ 500 U/ml after confirmation.The within-batch CV was 3.37％～ 5.30％, between batch CV was 7.43％ ～ 9.60％.When compared with routine ELISA, flowcytometry fluorescence immunoassay showed the equation of linear regression is Y =1.0398X-0.947, r =0.9687.Area under ROC curve was 0.811 ± 0.025 (95％ CI 0.763 ～0.859), with 18.625 U/ml as the best cutoff value, the specificity was 92.0％ and the sensitivity was 62.1％.Conclusions Flowcytometry fluorescence immunoassay for CA242 testing has the advantage of shorter detection time, miltiple sample and testing project detection, which is worth of clinical application.

Objective:To understand the monitoring levels of individual dose to radiation workers in Jiangsu province from 2011 to 2018, and to analyze their changing trends.Methods:Through National Individual Dose Registry, the data on the monitoring result of occupational external exposure of radiation workers in our province was collected, and statistical analysis was performed.Results:A total of 176 134 radiation workers in Jiangsu province were collected from 2011 to 2018. The annual collective effective dose was 58 man·Sv and the average annual effective dose was 0.35 mSv. The average annual effective doses to medical radiation workers for interventional radiology and nuclear medicine were both 0.41 mSv, with significantly higher NRE ratios than others ( χ2=219.1, P<0.05). By 2018, the numbers of monitored workers were 25 714 for medical radiation, accounting for 81%, with an average annual effective dose of 0.24 mSv, and 6 169 for industrial radiation, accounting for 19%, with an average annual effective dose of 0.18 mSv. Conclusions:The average annual effective dose to radiation workers in Jiangsu province is in consistency with the relevant national standards. The dose values for radiation workers in interventional and nuclear medicine are relatively high. The protection measures in their workplace should be improved. Meanwhile oversight of radiation protection should be enhanced for individual radiation workers in Jiangsu province.

Neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by SLC25A13 gene mutations, and is characterized by delayed jaundice clearance, liver dysfunction, and elevated aminoacidemia. The confirmed diagnosis depends on gene analysis. Citrin deficiency is one of the important causes of neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis in China. Recently more and more researches about NICCD were reported. The paper summarized the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, and progresses in diagnosis and treatment of NICCD.

Objective By comparing the efficacy and complication rates of the 8-mm-tip cryoablation catheter with the normal electrode ablation catheter in the treatment of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia,this study investigated the efficacy and feasibility of ablation with the 8-mm-tip cryoablation catheter.Methods This is a retrospective case-control study including 122 patients with AVNRT treated with CRYO (n =56) using an 8-mm-tip cryoablation catheter or RF ablation (n =66) from June 2014 to May 2016.The procedure success rate,the recurrence rate,atrioventricular block incidence,procedure time and the difference between the X-ray fluoroscopy dose were compared between the 2 groups.Results The procedure success rate was comparable between the 2 groups(100％ for CRYO vs.98.5％ for RF,P ＞0.999)and no AVB was found in both groups.The CRYO group needed shorter procedural time [(66.29±4.72)min vs.(70.00 ± 7.50) min,P =0.001] and less X-ray exposure [(674.14 ± 126.12) mSv vs.(837.52 ± 138.38) mSv,P ＞ 0.001] than the RF group.Conclusions 8-mm-tip cryoablation catheter cryoablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia is as safe and effective as compared to conventional radiofrequency ablation with potential advantages.

Objective To explore the reasonable experimental parameters on establishment of rabbit model of infusion phlebitis induced by mannitol.Methods New Zealand rabbits were injected with 20％ mannitol,then pathological lesion of rabbit auricular vein induced by different infusion velocity,different sampling time and sites were observed under microscope with vascular injury,inflammatory cell infiltration,frequency of thrombokinesis as indexes.Results The three indexes were the highest and the most obvious characteristics of infusion phlebitis were noted at the following experimental conditions:5.0 ml/min (infusion velocity),sampling time at 24h after administration and sampling site at 1cm region in front of the catheter tip.Conclusions Rabbit model of infusion phlebitis induced by mannitol can be set up more stable by using these parameters.

Objective To explore gene polymorphism of G/A genotype of Fok Ⅰ rs2228570 (G/A) of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene in Han male population of Chinese coastal area,and thus to investigate the relationship between the gene polymorphism of VDR and gout.Methods Altogether 504 gout patients and 523 healthy controls were enrolled.The possible association between the polymorphism of VDR rs2228570 and gout in Chinese coastal area was investigated and genotype frequencies and allelic frequencies were calculated by realtime PCR with Taqman(R)probe method.Hardy-Weinberg was used to verify the representativeness of the sample.Comparison between the groups were performed withx2 test and t-test.Results The frequencies of GG,AG,and AA genotypes were 32.1％,50.0％,and 17.9％,respectively among gout patients,while they were 27.9％,50.5％,and 21.6％ respectively among the controls.There was no statistically significant difference in VDR rs2228570 genotype frequencies between gout patients and controls(x2 =3.366,P＞0.05).The allele frequencies of G and A in gout cases were different from those in the controls(57.1％,42.9％;53.2％,46.8％;x2 =3.300,P＞0.05).Conclusions Results of the present study suggest that the G/A genotype of VDR Fok Ⅰ rs2228570 of the VDR gene is not associated with gout in male population of Chinese coastal area.
