1.Research advance in noninvasive prenatal testing based on cell-free fetal DNA
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;39(4):307-310
The discovery of cell-free fetal DNA ( cffDNA) in maternal plasma provides a new idea for noninvasive prenatal testing( NIPT).Though some studies to date have shown several fetal DNA markers, how to accurately distinguish cffDNA from the pool of maternal plasma free DNA is still a challenge.So far, NIPT based on cffDNA has been used for detection and study of a variety of diseases, along with the advance and development of technology, it will have a more broad application prospects.This article will make a review for the research status from the biological characteristics and the markers of cffDNA, the clinical applications and the existing issues and development prospects of NIPT based on cffDNA.

Pancreatic cancer is highly malignant with a poor prognosis. The resectability and prognosis of early pancreatic cancer are much better than the advanced, so early diagnosis is crucial for saving patients' lives. Because the symptoms of pancreatic cancer are non-specific, most of the patients are misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary diseases. Early diagnosis rate of pancreatic cancer can be greatly improved by combined application of tumor marker detection, endoscopic ultrasound, computed tomography, positron emission tomo-graphy, and etc. Early screening of high-risk population has been advocated by the experts, and its value in early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer has been confirmed by relevant studies. The colaboration of multiple pancreatic surgery centers in conducting prospective studies and setting gnidlines for the pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and relevant fundamental reseaches should also be emphasized.

It's a new financial management system that our country implemented the management of separating the income and expenditure in the community health services.Beijing is one of the former pilot cities which carried on the management of separating the income and expenditure.To know the effectiveness of the implementations and its influence to the health services,this article analyses the status of community health services,the financial investment and the performance results in Beijing.Considering the above,this paper also provides policy recommendations on the development of health services in Beijing to improve the new urban medical service system which based on the community health services.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important inhibitory immune cells.Research finds that MDSCs and Tregs increase in a large number under the conditions of inflammation,infection and tumor and they are able to suppress the immunity system and promote tumorigenesis and metastasis through multiple mechanisms.Finding the causes resulting in the increase of MDSCs and Tregs in tumor microenvironment and the eliminating methods have become new focuses in the field of antitumor immunotherapy.

Thyroid hormones play major roles in the regulation of a wide range of metabolie and physiologic processes.Serum thyroid-stimulating hormone( TSH ) concentration,a sensitive barometer of thyroid function,shows significant individual difference in which genetic variation is a major factor.After using traditional genetic linkage studies and candidate gene association studies to explore the suseeptibility genes of serum TSH,many progresses have been made and new susceptibility genes have been identified by genome-wide association study (GWAS).In this review,we focus on the susceptibility genes of serum TSH levels and also the future prospect that may be obtained from these studies.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor and its prognosis is poor. The key factors for cure and prolonged survival are early detection, adequate evaluation of resectability and surgical resection with microscopic tumor clearance. Surgeons should pay attention to standardize operative procedures to increase the R0 resection rate. Whipple specimens should be inked and examined carefully. Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy are beneficial in the prevention of local tumor recurrence and distant metastasis. Inter-disciplinary cooperation and multimodality treatment are helpful to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients with pancreatic cancer.

Objective: To observe the effect of ovariectomized rat serum containing Bushen Yijing decoction (BYD) on the absorption function of osteoclast. Method: Fourty 10 - month - old female SD rats were randomly allocated to four groups, among which 30 rats were subjected to ovariectomy to establish the osteoporosis model, and 10 rats only received mimic operation. After 3 months, the model rats were given saline, BYD and estrogen respectively. Three months later, all the rats were killed to obtain the sera. Osteoclasts were isolated from the extremities of 1 - day SD rats and incultured on the ivory slices. The lacunar number formed after bone absorption was observed. Results: Compared with the mimic operation group, the number of lacurae of ovariectomized groups increased by 74. 1 % ,while that of the BYD group and estrogen group decreased by 65.7% and 59.3% respectively, showing significant differences with the mimic group (P

A 46-year-old female patient presented to our hospital with history of pharyngeal discomfort for 6 months. Physical examination showed that she had facial asymmetry, loss of the left nasolabial fold, rightward de- viation of uvula, swelling of the left soft palate. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a bigger neoplasm in left pa- rapharyngeal space which invaded into left lateral skull base. The left internal carotid artery, vein and the styloid process was jostled backward. The primary clinical diagnosis is pleomorphic adenoma of the parapharyngeal space.

In order to compare differences of effects of complex prescription for reinforcing the kidney on osteoblast (OB) and osteoclast (OC), MTT method was used to determine proliferous capability of OB, bone lacuna count was used for quantitative assessment of absorbent activity of OC. Results showed that the mean influencing rate of Jin Gui Shen Qi Pill, Bu Shen Yi Jing Prescription, Zhi Bai Di Huang Pill, and Western medicine Premarin tablet for proliferous capability of OB was 159. 2%, 121. 5%, 21. 6% and 75. 7% respectively; the mean influencing rate for bone lacuna count was 50. 2%, 21. 0%, 19. 8% and 38. 1% respectively, suggesting that the drug for even reinforcing Yin and Yang can improve proliferation of OB and inhibit activity of OC, and increase of the drug for warming Yang can strengthen the promoting action on proliferation of OB, but increase of the drug for nourishing Yin had opposed action, the drugs for nourishing Yin plus the drugs for purging the pathologic fire can inhibit activity of OC and proliferation of OB.
