Objective To investigate the correlation between the results of HBsAg positive results among different detection systems,and provide reference for the analysis of clinical test results and the publication of the report.Methods The HBsAg positive serum specimens with the quantitation result lower than 80 COI were detected by Roche Cobas e602 electrochemical luminescence analyzer.All the specimens were also detected by Roche Modular e170 electrochemical luminescence analyzer.The differences of detecting results were compared and performed the linear correlation analysis.Results The experimental results of two detection systems are R2 =0.933.The positive coincidences of Group A,B,C,D and E were 60.60％,92.72％,96.66％,96.66％ and 100％,respectively.The positive coincidence of the males was 87.66％,while the positive coincidence of the females was 70.96 ％.The positive coincidence of the males was significantly higher than the females (P＜0.05).Conclusion The HBsAg detecting results of Roche Cobas e602 and Roche Modular e170 electrochemical luminescence analyzer had high correlation.The results higher than 10 COI had 100％ positive coincidence rate,however the results between 1 and 10 COI were not.The result between 1 and 10 COI may lead to controversial results,suggestions for further checks.

OBJECTIVE Diabetes-induced endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction and neovasculariza-tion impairment constitute vascular complications with limited treatment regimens.Transcription factor FOXO1 is a key angiogenic regulator and plays a pathologic role in progression of diabetes.The pres-ent study was designed to determine the involvement of FOXO1 in impaired EC function and post-isch-emic neovascularization in diabetes and investigate underlying mechanisms.RESULTS We found that FOXO1-selective inhibitor AS1842856 improved blood flow recovery and capillary density in ischemic hindlimb,and rescued the delay of wound closure with a concomitant augmentation of mean perfusion rate in diabetic mice. In vitro,treatment with AS1842856 or FOXO1 siRNA abrogated high glucose-in-duced apoptosis and ameliorated capillary tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HU-VECs). FOXO1 inhibition relieved alterations in mitochondrial networks and significantly suppressed the over production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(mtROS)induced by high glucose in ECs. Expression of dynamin-relatedprotein-1 (Drp1) and phosphorylation at Ser616, a protein required for mitochondrial fission, were enhanced by hyperglycemia, which could be neutralized by FOXO1 inhibition. Moreover, the transcription of Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1), which phosphorylates Drp1 at Ser616, was shown by luciferase assay to be directly regulated by FOXO1. CONCLUSION These findings suggested that FOXO1 is critical to preserve mitochondrial quantity and func-tion in ECs,and FOXO1 may serve as a therapeutic target for microvascular complications of diabetes.

Objective To explore the effects of modified tubo-uterine implantations performed on women with proximal tubal occlusive infertility after femal sterilization with mucilago phenol.Methods Two hundred and eight infertile women who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between 1986 and 2004 were included.They all accepted modified tubo-uterine implantation after occlusion of fallopian tubes with mucilago phenol.Results It was found that the occlusions were all located in the interstitial portion or isthmic portion of the fallopian tubes.Different degrees of pelvic adhesions were found in 65 cases.Fifty-seven cases were slightly adhesive,seven cases were of moderate degree and one case was severe.One hundred and ninety-nine cases were followed up after operations(95.7%).One hundred and ninety-three women accepted hydrotubation in the following month just after the operation and 185 women were found to be unobstructed(95.8%).One hundred and forty-three women became pregnant, the pregnant rate being 71.9%(143/199).One hundred and twenty-five women had term deliveries (87.4%),three women were in early pregnancy and two in midtrimester pregnancy.Eleven women had spontaneous abortion(7.7%).Two women had tubal pregnancy(1.0%).None of the 199 cases had any signs of endometriosis.Conelusions Modified tubo-uterine implantations are quite effective for proximal tubal occlusive infertility.It may be a favorable method for such kind of tubal occlusions.

Objective To explore the causes and treatment of repeated vulvovaginitis in girlhood in order to improve its prevention and treatment.Methods Fifty-one girls with repeated vulvovaginitis(age≤10 years)admitted to The Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from Jan.1990 to Nov.2004 were reviewed retrospectively.Results We found 28 girls(55%)suffering from non-specific vulvovaginitis and 14 ones(27%)suffering from posterior recto-vaginal fistula with in 51 patients.Five girls(10%)were smitten with vulval ulcer and 3 ones(6%)had been were found with vaginal foreign bodies.One girl(2%) was smitten with adhesion of labia minora.The vaginal discharges taken from 21 girls were cultured. Seventeen cases found bacteria.The positive rate of bacteria culture in the 21 cases reached 81%,in which, E.coli accounted for 5 cases(24%),staphylococcus and streptococcus accounted for 3 cases(14%) respectively.Patients suffered from non-specific vulvovaginitis and vulval ulcer accepted external lotion, antibiotic ointment or combining with antibiotics.Patients suffered from posterior recto-vaginal fistula accepted fistulectomy.Three girls who found vaginal foreign bodies took out of foreign bodies by hysteroscopo.Fifty-one girls all were cured after appropriate therapy.Conclusions Vulvovaginitis is the most common gynecologic diagnosis in girlhood.The principal cause of repeated invasion is non-specific vulvovaginitis and the secondly one is posterior recto-vaginal fistula.It need overhaul during the diagnosis.It is very availability to use hysteroscopy and do bacteria culture+antibiotic sensitivity test for repeated pediatric vulvovaginitis.

Objective To analyze the karyotypes of 11 cases of Turner syndrome with marker chromosome,and study the phenotypic effects resulting from the abnormal karyotype.Methods Eleven Turner syndrome patients had a mosaic karyotype and carried a marker chromosome,and 6 marker chromosomes were ring chromosomes.Their karyotypes were showed as mos.45,X/46,X,+mar or mos. 45,X/46,X,+r.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)technique with X/Y centromere probes was performed to determine the origin of the marker chromosome.Reverse chromosome painting technique was used to identify the breakpoints of two largest markers.Phenotype effects with different chromosome breakpoints were compared.Results All the 11 marker chromosomes were ring X chromosomes.The breakpoints of the r(X)were involved in Xp22,Xq22,Xq24 and Xq26,etc.Conclusions The marker chromosomes in Turner syndrome mainly originate from X chromosome and form ring chromosome X.Each r (X)in our patients was mosaic,indicating it was originated from mitosis error during early embryo development.To analyze the origin of the marker chromosome and the breakpoint of r(X)will provide guidance for the therapy and prognosis of the Turner syndrome patient.

Objective To investigate the correlation of HCV-RNA with detection indexes HCV-Ab and HCV-cAg in its clini-cal application effect among patients with hepatitis C.Methods HCV-cAg and HCV-Ab in 140 cases of HCV-RNA were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in cases of PCR,which were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results 127 cases in 140 cases of HCV-RNA positive serum were HCV-cAg positive,in line with the rate of 90.71%,and the cases of 110 HCV-Ab positive,in line with the rate of 78.57%.The positive detection rate of HCV-cAg with different HCV-RNA concentration was increased with the increase of HCV virus content,and the serum of different HCV-RNA concentration had no significant changes in HCV-Ab detection results.Conclusion The detection results of HCV-cAg had a high coincidence rate with HCV-RNA.Therefore detection of HCV-cAg can be as a complementary detec-tion of HCV-Ab,as the window period of HCV infection and infection in immunocompromised persons screening provides a simple,inexpensive method.At the same time it provides rapid screening for HCV infection provide diagnostic basis for those basic medical units who do not have the conditions for detection of HCV-RNA.

Objective To observe the difference between skeletal age of hand and wrist and chronological age and explore the reliability of CHN radiographic atlas method to assess the skeletal age of hand and wrist in children and adolescent.Methods Total 1397 healthy children (666 boys,731 girls;age range,1.0-18.0 years old) with hand and wrist injury from 2007 to 2011 were selected.Forty groups (n =20 for boys and girls,respectively) were classified according to CHN radiographic atlas method.The radiographs of hand and wrist were assessed by CHN radiographic atlas method,the relations between skeletal age and chronological age were investigated by using Wilcoxon signed ranks test.Results According to the CHN radiographic atlas method,the difference in 1.0 to 3.9 years old,7.0 to 7.9 years old and 9.0 to 15.9 years old boy groups between skeletal age and the chronological age had statistical significance (P ＜0.05) ; the difference in 1.0 to 2.9 years old,8.0 to 11.9 years old,12.6 to 14.9 years old,and 17.0 to 18.0 years old girl groups between skeletal age and the chronological age had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.05).Besides,these skeletal age was higher than the chronological age.Conclusions Skeletal age assessed by the CHN radiographic atlas method in a majority of age groups was higher than chronological age.It should be cautious to estimate the contemporary Chinese children skeletal age of hand and wrist when using the CHN radiographic atlas method.

OBJECTIVETo study the influence of the reference values for semen analysis proposed in the 5th edition of the WHO Laboratory Manual for the Examination and Processing of Human Semen on the indication spectrum for intrauterine insemination (IUI).

METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 111 cycles of IUI by the reference values for semen analysis in the 4th edition of the WHO Laboratory Manual (group A) and 84 cycles by the 5th edition (group B). We recorded and compared the percentages of various indications for IUI between the two groups.

RESULTSThe complications for IUI in groups A and B were as follows: asthenospermia (87.4% [97/111] vs 55.9% [47/84], P < 0.05), oligospermia (0 vs 0), teratospermia (51.4% [57/111] vs 35.7% [30/84]) , abnormal liquefaction (0.9% [1/111] vs O) , sexual dysfunction and genital malformation (0 vs 3.6% [3/84] , immune infertility (0.9% [ 1/111] vs O), and unexplained infertility (3.6% [4/111] vs 2. 4% [2/84 ] ). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the percentages of all the indications except that of asthenospermia.

CONCLUSIONThe reference values for semen analysis proposed in the 5th edition of the WHO Laboratory Manual for the Examination and Processing of Human Semen have an evident influence on the indication spectrum for IUI by largely reducing the cases of IUI for male factors, prolonging the cycles of some patients, causing excessive diagnosis and treatment for females, and increasing their mental and economic burdens.
