Objective To evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of three techniques in the diagnosis of renal diseases following multiple myeloma. Methods 41 serum samples from the kidney-damaged patients with multiple myeloma and 36 from the control group with general renal diseases were detected by quantitative analysis of immunoglobulins, serum protein electrophoresis and serum Immunofixation Electrophoresis. The accuracy and sensitivity of the three techniques were analysed by Two-way ANOVA and Multiple Comparisons of the check-out rate of monoclonal immunoglobulin. Results No monoclonal components were checked out by quantitative analysis of immunoglobulins. The checkout rate of IgG and IgM myelomas were 100% by serum protein electrophoresis, which had application limit on other types of myelomas. Whereas all secretarial myelomas could be diagnosed and typied by Immunofixation Electrophoresis, the sensitivity and accuracy was 100%, there was no false positive in the control group. Comparing with quantitative analysis of immunoglobulins and serum protein electrophoresis, serum Immunofixation electrophoresis had higher sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosis of renal diseases following multiple myeloma ( P

Objective To establish animal models of diffuse axonal injury (DAI) and discuss the early functional MRI findings.Methods Twenty-five adult white rabbits were divided into control group (n =5),mild DAI group and severe DAI group (n =6) according to random number.Mild DAI group was subdivided into mild DAI 3 h (n =6),1 day (n =4) and 1 week (n =4) groups.Routine MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were performed.Parameters measured were fractional anisotropy (FA),apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),axial diffusivity (AD) and radical diffusivity (RD).Results Significantly increased FA (P＜0.01) and decreased ADC (P＜0.05) and RD (P＜0.01) were detected in severe DAI group compared to control group,but there was no significant variation in AD between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Each parameter remained almost unchanged in mild DAI 3 h group and mild DAI 1 week group,but FA was increased (P ＜ 0.01) and RD decreased (P ＜ 0.05) in mild DAI 1 day group,with no changes of ADC and AD.Conclusion DTI is a sensitive way to detect the occurrence and development of DAI and can provide referential images for early DAI diagnosis.

Objective To study the effect of Qige San ethyl acetate extract on the proliferation of human esophageal carcinoma Eca109 cells and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Inhibitory effects of Qige San ethyl acetate extract on the proliferation of esophageal carcinoma Eca109 cells were detected by MTT assay, cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometer, and the expression of protein STAT3, Bcl-2 and Caspase 9 was detected by Western blotting method. Results In the range of 10~100 μg/mL, Qige San ethyl acetate extract inhibited the proliferation of Eca109 cells effectively (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, Qige San ethyl acetate extract in the concentrations of 1.47, 33.26, 75.52 μg/mL significantly increased the apoptotic rate of Eca109 cells within 48h ( P<0.01). And Western blotting results showed that the ex pression levels of STAT3 and Bcl-2 were reduced, and Caspase 9 was increased with the increase of drug concentration. Conclusion Qige San ethyl acetate extract could significantly inhibit the proliferation of Eca109 cells and induce cell apoptosis, and its mechanism is probably associated with the inhibition of signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway.

0.05).Conclusions Our results suggest that ascites contributes to the exaggerated fibrinolysis in cirrhosis, whereas cirrhosis self, in the absence of ascites, leads to a slightly fibrinolynic state. The t-PA/PAI imbalance was not a main cause of hyperfibrinolysis in patients with cirrhosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of hepatic glucose transporter-2 ( GLUT-2 ) and glu-cokinase(GCK)after gastric bypass(GBP)in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)GK rats and to discuss the mecha-nism of GBP improving insulin resistance .Methods 30 male GK rats aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into 3 groups:the operation group(10 rats), the sham operation group(10 rats)and the diet control group(10 rats), and 10 male SD rats aged 8 weeks were made as blank control group .The levels of fasting plasma glucose ( FPG) and fasting insulin(FINS)were measured and compared among the 4 groups before and 1,2 and 4 weeks after the operation and then the rats were sacrificed to retrieve the liver .The expressions of GLUT-2 and GCK mRNA and protein were detected by PT-PCR and Western blot respectively .Results As for GK operation group ,FPG levels at the 1st, 2nd,and 4th week after surgery ((11.06 ±0.52) mmol/L,(7.49 ±0.34) mmol/L,(5.20 ±0.08) mmol/L)respectively)were all lower than that before surgery (all P<0.05),and FINS level at the 4th week after surgery increased from(11.90 ±0.75)mmol/L to(14.20 ±1.23)mmol/L(P<0.05).The expressions of GLUT-2 and GCK mRNA and protein significantly increased in GK operation group 4 weeks after surgery ( P<0.01 ) . Conclusion The expressions of hepatic GLUT-2 and GCK in insulin signal transmission in T2DM rats are up-regu-lated after GBP , which enhance the signal transmission of insulin receptor , and improves the insulin sensibility .

Objective To investigate whether simple visual assessment of FVERVOT(the right ventricular outflow tract Doppler flow velocity envelop) graphs aids in hemodynamic differentiation. Method The hemodynamics, echocardiography, and clinical data of 88 patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) were reviewed. The FVERVOTgraphs were categorized into normal pattern (no notch; NN), late systolic notch pattern (LSN) or mid-systolic notch pattern (MSN). Results The pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was highest in the MSN pattern (9.2±3.5 WU; P＜0. 001), in comparison with LSN (5,7 ±3. 1 WU) and NN (3.3±2.4 WU) patterns. The ratio of stroke volume to pulse pressure (compliance) also varied with different patterns of FVERVOr graph (MSN = 1.2 ± 0. 5; LSN = 1.7 ± 0.8; NN = 2.6 ± 1. 7, P = 0.001 and 0.04 respectively compared with NN). The specificity and sensitivity of MSN were 96% and 71%, respectively in case of a PVR ＞ 5 WU (PPV 98%). In the patients with PH, any notching pattern of FVERVOT graph was highly associated with PVR ＞ 3 WU (OR = 22.3, 95 % CI: 5.2 ～ 96.4), whereas the NN pattern predicted a PVR ≤3 WU and pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ＞ 15 mmHg (OR =30.2, 95%CI: 6.3 ～ 144.9). Conclusions Visual inspection of the shape of the FVERVOT graphs provides insight into the hemodynamic status of patients with PH.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the expression of signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family 6 (SLAMF6) on peripheral blood CD8 +T cells and perforin and granzyme B and the clinical significance in patients with newly diagnosed severe aplastic anemia(SAA). Methods:The indicators of blood routine and bone marrow and peripheral blood samples of 32 newly diagnosed SAA patients admitted to Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2016 to June 2019 were collected for retrospective analysis. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B on samples CD8 +T cell before therapy and 6 months after therapy (11 cases received transplantation, 21 cases received immunosuppressive therapy [IST]). Spearman correlation analysis was performed to determine the association between clinical indicators and laboratory test results. The expression of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B was also detected in 10 healthy people (normal group) and 13 myelodysplastic syndromes/paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (MDS/PNH) patients (MDS/PNH group). Results:(1) At diagnosis: the expression of SLAMF6 was significantly lower in the SAA group than that in the normal group and the MDS/PNH group ([56.40±6.37]% vs [84.34±5.81]% and [82.24±4.98]% (both P<0.001]). The expression of perforin was significantly higher in the SAA group (32.73±8.46) than that in the normal control group (23.75%±5.10%), and the MDS/PNH group (26.12%±5.53%) (both P<0.05). The expression of granzyme B was also significantly higher in the SAA group (36.23%±7.94%) than that in the normal control group (21.67%±5.05%) and the MDS/PNH group (21.79%±5.10%) (both P<0.001). The expression of SLAMF6 was positively correlated with the hemoglobin ( r=0.804), and reticulocyte absolute values ( r=0.656) in peripheral blood, percentage of granulocytes ( r=0.643) and erythrocytes ( r=0.622) in bone marrow of SAA patients (all P<0.05). Expression of SLAMF6 was negatively correlated with perforin ( r=-0.792) and granzyme B ( r=-0.908) on CD8 +T cells in patients with SAA (both P<0.001). (2) After treatment: the expression of SLAMF6 in peripheral blood CD8 +T cells of 30 surviving patients was higher than pre-treatment ([79.19±12.69]% vs [56.40±6.37]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than pre-treatment level (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 11 transplanted patients was higher than before transplantation ([86.54±3.75]% vs [56.40±7.35]%, P<0.001). The expressions of perforin and granzyme B were lower than before transplantation (both P<0.05). The expression of SLAMF6 on CD8 +T cells in 12 IST-respond patients was higher than that before treatment, while the perforin and granzyme B levels were lower than pre-treatment (all P<0.05). The post-treatment expressions of SLAMF6, perforin and granzyme B were similar as before treatment levels in 7 IST-unrespond patients (all P>0.05). Conclusion:SLAMF6 is significantly down-regulated on CD8 +T cells in newly diagnosed SAA, negatively correlated with the effective factors of CD8 +T cells, which might participate in the immune regulatory of CD8 +T cells as a negative regulatory factor in patients with SAA. The SLAMF6 is significantly up-regulated after hematopoietic recovery, while there is no significant change in treatment-unrespond patients, which could thus serve as an useful diagnostic and therapeutic index of patients with SAA.
