Objective To determine the value of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natri-uretic peptide and homocysteine in the risk stratification of patients with unstable angina pectoris;thus to provide an assessment for the condition of patients in clinic.Methods 135 patients with unstable angina were included in the disease group and subjected to risk stratification according to GRACE risk score software,70 cases of low-risk group,60 cases in the middle-risk group and 5 cases in the high-risk group.Another 145 healthy people were in the control group.The levels of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocysteine were detected and compared.Results Between the control group and the disease group,significant difference of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocys-teine was found (P <0.05),but the difference of ischemia modified albumin was not statistically significant(P >0.05).In the dis-ease group,the levels of ischemia modified albumin,heart-type fatty acid-binding protein and homocysteine in each risk stratification showed no significant difference(P >0.05).The level of B-type natriuretic peptide in high-risk group was higher than that in the low-risk group and in the middle-risk group and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05),while there was no statisti-cally significant difference between the low-risk group and the middle-risk group(P >0.05 ).Conclusion The detection of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,B-type natriuretic peptide and homocysteine possesses certain meaning in diagnosing unstable angi-na,and the level of B-type natriuretic peptide indicates the risk degree of the disease.

Objective To improve the method of blood collection from external jugular vein in rats,so as to repeatedly obtain blood samples of high quality and to meet the special requirements of the experiment.Methods The experimental rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal anesthesia,and the jugular vein was fully exposed with special fixed method.Whereafter,the blood samples were collected by disposable vacuum blood vessels.Results This method had little traumatic effect.The blood samples were collected from 60 rats at an interval of 14 days with 1.8 to 2.5 mL each time.The success rate was above 95％,and the normal activities of the rats were not apparently affected.This vacuum blood collection method guaranteed the quality of serum,and the veracity of blood detection and analysis were also significantly improved.Conclusion On the basis of the principle of animal welfare,the improved rat jugular vein blood collection method has the advantages of simple operation,less trauma,large blood collection,high blood sample quality aod so on,which can ensure the effect of the special experiment.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of capsule endoscopy (CE) image screening system developed by our group.MethodsBetween March 2011 and June 2011,50 patients (29 males and 21 females with a mean age of 45.7(45.7 ± 4.1 ) ) underwent CE in our department.CE images were reviewed,and processed by the screening system at the rate of 50％,60％,70％,80％ and 90％,respectively.After reviewing the remaining and the deleted frames,the endoscopists calculated the remaining rate of the lesions by recording the number of lesions of all patients and the number of remaining lesions.The procedure time and the total number of the frames of each case were also recorded.ResultsA total of 39 patients of 50 had lesions and the detection rate was 78％.91 lesions were detected in the 39 patients,most of whom had more than 2 lesions.When the prescribed deletion rate was less than or equal to 60％,the lesion remaining rate reached 100％,with a mean frames of the cases of 46 242,and the mean processing time of 15.62 min.ConclusionWith all the lesions remained,the system can delete 60％ similar frames in a very short time,which greatly reduces the diagnosis time and workload for endoscopist,and improves the efficiency of capsule endoscopy.

Objective To investigate the pathogen-related genes of atmospheric polluting disease so as to clarify the biology mechanism and provide the scientific basis.Methods By using the technique of dot blot hybridization,we analyzed genes’differential expression with cloning by exposure to ≥75 μg/m3 PM2.5 in heating season and < 75 μg/m3 PM2.5 in un-heating season in WI-38 human embryo lung cells.The levels of cytokines TNF-α,IL-2, IL-6 and IL-8 were determined by radio immunity assay. Results After 24h of treatment, compared with control group,more than 100μg/mL PM2.5 significantly increased TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 levels,and decreased IL-2 in WI-38 human embryo lung cells (P < 0.05 ).The clear stripe was found in 350 bp in 48 gene samples with segment with differential expression of genes exposed to different concentrations of PM2.5 in WI-38 human embryo lung cells.Through the dot blot hybridization,black brown spots were found in 41 samples in Tester cDNA hybridization,and no similar spots were found in all of the same samples in Driver cDNA hybridization. Conclusion PM2.5 exposure may induce the inflammatory damage of WI-38 human embryo lung cells.Obvious genetic damage was observed in those cells exposed to ≥75 μg/m3 PM2.5 in heating season.

Objective:To design the small ubiquitin modification-fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (SUMO-FGFR4) fusion gene and construct the expression vector pET22b-SUMO-FGFR4, to optimize the expression conditions. Methods:The SUMO-FGFR4 fusion gene was obtained by Overlap PCR and was connected to pET22b;the recombinant expression vector pET22b-SUMO-FGFR4 was obtained. The influence of lactose concentration, induction time,induction temperature,induction point and adding mode of lactose in the expression levels was observed,and the best induction condition was determined; then the solubility of recombinant protein was analyzed.Results:The SUMO-FGFR4 fusion protein was highly expressed,the molecular weight of the fusion protein was about 40 000 and it could bind with FGFR4 specific antibody.When the lactose concentration was 1.0 g·L-1 ,the induction time was 3 h,the induction temperature was 37℃,the value of A (600)was 0.8,the expression level was highest;but adding mode of lactose had no remarkable effect on the protein expression.The expression level of recombinant protein induced by lactose was higher than IPTG.SUMO-FGFR4 protein existed in a form of inclusion body.Conclusion:The SUMO-FGFR4 fusion protein is expressed successfully in this study while lactose is used as inducer and the best expression conditions are confirmed.

Objective To propose a new diagnostic criterion for rosacea based on the analysis of clinical features of rosacea in a large sample.Methods A total of 1 090 Chinese outpatients with rosacea were enrolled from Department of Dermatology of Xiangya Hospital,and their demographic data,clinical manifestations and subjective symptoms were collected.According to results of descriptive analysis,clinical features of rosacea were summarized,and a new diagnostic criterion for rosacea was set up.Then,the sensitivity and specificity of the new diagnostic criterion were verified among 1 200 outpatients clinically characterized by facial erythema.Results Of 1 090 patients with rosacea,131 (12.0％) were male and 959(88.0％) were female,and the average age was 33.5 ± 11.1 years (range,10-66).Among the 1 090 patients,715 (65.6％) had initial lesions on the cheek,of whom,712 (99.6％) had intermittent flushing as the initial symptom,and 689 (96％) had sensitive skin symptoms such as dryness,burning and itching sensations;208 (19.1％) had initial lesions on the perioral region,of whom,204 (98.1％) had persistent erythema as the initial symptom;167 (15.3％) had initial lesions on the nose,of whom,163 (97.6％) had persistent erythema as the initial symptom;in addition,311 (28.5％) had lesions on the ocular region,and only 24 (2.2％) had lesions outside the face on the neck and retroauricular region.Based on these clinical features,a new diagnostic criterion for rosacea was proposed,including 1 major condition (intermittent flushing or persistent erythema on the cheek,perioral region or nose) and 5 minor conditions (1.sensitive skin symptoms such as burning,tingling,drying or itching sensations;2.telangiectasia;3.papules or pustules;4.hypertrophy;5.ocular symptoms).If with the major condition and at least one minor condition were met,patients could be diagnosed with rosacea.After verification among 1 200 patients with facial dermatitis clinically characterized by facial erythema,the new criterion was proved to have a sensitivity of 99.3％ and a specificity of 95.8％.Conclusion A new diagnostic criterion for rosacea with high sensitivity and specificity is proposed,which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To compare the incidence of perioperative complications and the degree of traumatic stress reaction between thoracoscopic radical esophagectomy and open radical esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.Methods 97 patients with esophageal cancer in our hospital were divided into group A (thoracoscopic esophagectomy,n =51) and group B (open esophagectomy,n =46) according to the operation method.The group A was given thoracoscopic radical resection of esophageal cancer,while the group B was given open radical resection of esophageal cancer.The operative indexes (intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluid volume,operative time,incision length),the incidence rate of perioperative complications,body traumatic stress response indexes [white blood cell count (WBC),serum C-reactive protein (CRP),free thyroxine (FT4)] and tumor markers [squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC),carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125)] were compared between the two groups.Results The group A had less intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative fluid volume and shorter operative time and incision length compare with group B (P ≤ 0.05).The incidence rate of perioperative complications in group A was lower than that in group B (17.65％ vs 36.96％) (P ≤ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the levels of WBC,CRP and FT4 between the two groups at the same time (P ＞ 0.05),so as the levels of SCC and CA125 (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with open radical esophagectomy,the thoracoscopic esophagectomy had lower incidence of perioperative complications,but there was no significant difference in the degree of traumatic stress reaction between the two methods.

ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for false negative diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) by capsule endoscopy.MethodsA total of 133 OGIB inpatients,104 in true positive group and 29 in false negativc group,were reviewed.The features of demography,diseases and capsule endoscopy were collected and then analyzed,which included 10 variables like age,sex,time of bleeding,diseases accompanied,type and location of the disease,hemoglobin concentration,transit time of CE,quality of CE pictures and type of purgative agents.All data were analyzed with t test,and all the enumeration data were analyzed with chi square test.Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between the factors and results of diagnosis.ResultsAge ( t =2.095,P =0.038 ),concentration of hemoglobin ( t =2.143,P=0.034),type (X2 =20.222,P ＜0.001) and location (X2 =33.732,P ＜0.001) of the diseases,image quality of the CE (X2 =9.219,P =0.002 ) and the type of purgative agents (X2 =6.999,P =0.024) were found to have statistical differences between the two groups.Chi-square and partition Chi-square test revealed the occurrence of civerticulosis and lesion location,i.e.lower ileum and ileumcecum,were of statistical difference between the two groups (X2 =22.233,P ＜ 0.001 and x2 =24.412,P ＜ 0.001 ).Univariate logistic regression showed diverticulosis ( OR =0.102,P ＜0.001 ),lower bowel diseases ( OR =0.110,P ＜0.001 ),poor quality of CE pictures ( OR =0.258,P =0.004 ) and the use of sodium phosphate agent ( OR =0.367,P =0.027) were risk factors for false negative diagnosis,while older age facilitated diagnosis ( OR =1.024,P =0.041 ).However,multivariate logistic regression showed no statistic significance in type of purgative agent ( P =0.05 ) or the concentration of hemoglobin ( P =0.394).Furthermore,elder age facilitated positive diagnosis ( OR =1.031,P =0.032),while diverticulosis ( OR =0.118,P =0.001 ),lower bowel diseases ( OR =0.145,P =0.001 ) and poor quality of CE pictures ( OR =0.245,P =0.016) were correlated with higher probability of false negative diagnosis.ConclusionAge,disease type,disease location and image quality exert great influence on CE diagnosis.Diverticulosis,lower location of the diseases and poor CE image quality are risk factors for false negative diagnosis.
