OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of different extraction methods on the content of cholalic acid from Artificial Bezoar. METHODS: Artificial Bezoar from 3 different habitats was used to extract cholalic acid by hydrolization vs. hydrolization-free method, and the content of cholalic acid was determined by HPLC-ELSD(high performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection). RESULTS: The content of cholalic acid in the hydrolyzed sample was higher than that in the non-hydrolyzed sample of the same batch. CONCLUSION: Through hydrolization, the binding cholalic acid in the artificial bezoar was transformed into free cholalic acid so that the content of cholalic acid was increased. Therefore, it is more reasonable to control the quality of Artificial Bezoar by taking the contents of total cholalic acid and free cholalic acid as indexes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of four kinds of different contact strength on the three-dimensional displacement of an implant-supported fixed bridge using digital laser speckle photography method. An in vitro model of beagle mandible with an implant-supported fixed bridge in its right premolar region was developed. The bridge was Au-Pt metal-ceramic. The contact was recovered to four different tightnesses, named 0, 1, 2, and 3. Different axial concentrated static load was applied to abutments and bridge respectively. The three-dimensional displacement of the implant-supported fixed bridge was measured using digital laser speckle photographic method. The results demonstrated that the influence of contact tightness was mainly on the mesio-distal and buccal lingual parts. When the contact tightness reached number 3, the regularity of displacement distribution was changed. The present study proved that digital laser speckle photography was an effective method of measuring the micro-displacement. One of the criterions of contact recovering decreased the implant displacement effectively without changing the regularity of displacement distribution.

Objective:To analyze the consistency of HER-2 expression among endoscopic biopsy and radical operation specimens of gastric adenocarcinoma and to investigate the clinical application value of HER-2 detection in trastuzumab treated patients. Methods:From March 2013 to February 2014, 167 patients from Shanghai Changhai Hospital were diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma using endoscopic biopsy specimens. The corresponding surgical specimens were collected for pathological analysis. The relevant clinical and pathological data were collected. HER-2 protein expression of endoscopic biopsy specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). HER-2 protein expression and gene amplification status of the corresponding tumor resection specimens were detected by IHC and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results were analyzed for clinicopathological characteristics. Results:Among the 167 cas-es, 18 cases (10.8%) were HER-2 positive, including 10 cases showing IHC3+and 8 cases showing IHC2+with FISH positive. The consis-tency rate result among endoscopic biopsy and surgical operation specimens was 82%. Excluding the cases showing IHC2+, the true positive rate and the true negative rate were 73.3%and 97.0%, respectively. Conclusion:HER-2 detection of endoscopic biopsy speci-men by IHC shows great predictive value. The main reason for the difference of surgery and biopsy specimens is the heterogeneity of tumor expression. Increasing the number of specimens and combined testing with FISH are important methods to reduce misjudge-ment.

Objective To investigate Treg and Th17 cell numbers in the peripheral blood of patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA),with an aim to elevate their potential for predicting pregnancy outcomes.Methods Peripheral blood was collected from 60 URSA pregnant women and 56 healthy pregnant women during their first trimester in the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2014 to June 2015.The counts of regulatory T cell (Treg),T helper cell 17 (Th17),CD4 positive T cell (CD4+ T cell) and total lymphocytes in the peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry.Calculated the ratios of Treg/CD4+ T cells,Treg/total lymphocytes,Th17/CD4+ T cells,Th17/total lymphocytes and Treg/Th17,then the pregnancy outcomes were followed up.According to the different pregnancy outcomes,the patients were divided into three groups: URSA successful delivery group (23 cases),URSA re-miscarriage group (37 cases) and normal successful delivery group (44 cases).Non-parametric test were used to compare the differences between groups.Results There were no difference between the URSA re-miscarriage group and URSA successful delivery group in the CD4+ T cell counts[(1 570.16±519.56) vs (1 571.83±450.37),t=0.01,P=0.99]and total lymphocytes[(4 497.11±975.48) vs (4 558.52±1 032.54),t=0.23,P=0.82].However,the ratios of Treg/CD4+ T cells[(1.09±0.62) vs (3.32±2.30),t=4.55,P=0.000 1],Treg/total lymphocytes[(0.42±0.24) vs (1.31±1.14),t=3.67,P=0.001 3]and Treg/Th17[(0.56±0.41) vs (2.51±2.38),t=3.89,P=0.000 8]in the URSA miscarriage again group were significantly lower whereas the ratios of Th17/CD4+ T cells[(1.85±0.92) vs (0.93±0.36),t=5.40,P<0.001]and Th17/total lymphocytes[(0.64±0.31) vs (0.31±0.14),t=5.52,P<0.001]were significantly higher.Similarly,There were no difference between the URSA re-miscarriage group and normal successful delivery group in the CD4+ T cell counts[(1 570.16±519.56) vs (1 566.86±651.36),t=0.03,P=0.98]and total lymphocytes[(4 497.11±975.48) vs (4 720.91±1 572.92),t=0.78,P=0.44].However,the ratios of Treg/CD4+ T cells[(1.09±0.62) vs (3.17±1.81),t=7.16,P<0.001],Treg/total lymphocytes[(0.42±0.24) vs (1.03±0.51),t=7.08,P<0.001]and Treg/Th17[(0.56±0.41) vs (1.87±1.68),t=4.98,P<0.001]in the URSA re-miscarriage group were significantly lower whereas the ratios of Th17/CD4+ T cells[(1.85±0.92) vs (1.12±0.50),t=4.29,P<0.001]and Th17/total lymphocytes[(0.64±0.31) vs (0.36±0.15),t=5.01,P<0.001]were significantly higher.Conclusions Treg and Th17 cell counts in the peripheral blood of patients with URSA might be useful in predicting their pregnancy outcomes.The decrease of Treg cell counts and the increase of Th17 cell counts might imply another abortion.

Objective To investigate the level about illness perception in patients with coronary heart disease. Methods From July to De-cember, 2015, 198 inpatients with coronary heart disease who were admitted into hospitals twice or more were enrolled. They were assessed with Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R). Results The score of common symptoms was (4.55±1.64). The symptoms, for exam-ple, chest pains, uncomfortable feeling in chest, cold sweat, flustered and breathlessness were most frequently experienced and most often identified. For the illness perception part, the scores on subscales of treatment control and consequences were higher than 3, which was the neutral point. For the cause dimension part, the highest scores was (3.38 ± 0.90) in diet or eating habits, followed by (3.38 ± 0.89) in aging. Among these factors, immune factors had the highest mean score, followed by stress factor. Conclusion The level of illness perception in pa-tients with coronary heart disease was in the middle level, and individual differences were obvious. The awareness of the disease and the in-tervention of the patient should be strengthened.
