AIM:To explore the therapeutic effica-cy and influencing factors of differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC)after the first postoperative 131Ⅰ treat-ment.METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 116 DTC patients treated with 131Ⅰfor the first time after thyroid cancer surgery in the Department of Nuclear Medicine of the First Affili-ated Hospital of Wannan Medical College,analysed their therapeutic efficacy,and Univariate and multi-variate Logistic analyses were performed for the factors that may affect the efficacy of the treat-ment,respectively,and established ROC curves to analyse the diagnostic and ER efficacy of those with psTg and TTR that had a significant effect on the multifactorial Logistic analyses.RESULTS:In DTC patients who were followed up 3-9 months af-ter the first postoperative 131Ⅰ treatment,69.0％(80/116)achieved ER.Univariate analysis revealed no statistical significance between ER and NER groups in terms of age,gender,TSH,TgVR,maximum tu-mour diameter,presence of lymph node metasta-sis,bilaterality of tumour,multifocality and clinical stage(P＞0.05).While 131Ⅰ dose,nsTg,psTg,TgV and TTR(Tg/TSH ratio)were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The results of multifactorial Logistic analysis showed that psTg and TTR were independent risk factors for the first 131Ⅰ treatment after DTC,with a psTg OR of 5.950(95％CI 1.437-24.639,P＜0.05)and a TTR OR of 4.137(95％CI 1.073-15.947,P＜0.05).The best threshold value of psTg for ROC curve analysis to predict the efficacy of the first postoperative 131Ⅰ treatment for DTC was 8.935 μg/L,with a sensitivity of 80.6％,a specificity of 83.6％,and a Yuden's index of 0.64.And the best threshold value of TTR for predicting the efficacy of the first postoperative 131Ⅰ treatment for DTC was 125.72 ng/mIU,with a sensitivity,specificity of 80.6％and 91.2％,and the Yuden index was 0.618.psTg and TTR areas under the curve were 0.839 and 0.833,respectively.psTg＜8.935 μg/L patients achieved ER after 3-9 months of follow-up in DTC patients(67/74,90.5％).psTg＞8.935 μg/L patients achieved ER(13/42,30.95％).Correspondingly TTR＜125.72 ng/mIU achieved ER(65/72,90.2％).psTg＞125.72 ng/mIU achieved ER(15/44,34.1％).CONCLUSION:The efficacy of the first 131Ⅰ treatment after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer is significant.psTg and TTR are independent risk factors for the first 131Ⅰ treatment after DTC and have an important predictive value of efficacy.

Objective To observe the effects of Qishu granule on PI3K/Akt signaling transduction pathways in the process of hepatic fibrosis, and further explain the anti-hepatic fibrosis mechanism of Qishu granule.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, experimental control group and Qishu granule group. Liver fibrosis was duplicated in rats by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4, and the rats were given appropriate treatment at the same day. Rats in Qishu granule group were given a gavage 2 g/(kg?d), 1.0 mL/100 g, while rats in experimental control group and normal group were given the same amount of aquae sterilisata. Rats in each group were taken liver tissue samples in the 1st, 2nd and 4th week, and were checked for the protein expression levels of p-Akt (Ser473), p-Akt (Thr308), Bad (Ser136) and Caspase9 by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, expression levels of p-Akt (Ser473), p-Akt (Thr308), Bad (Ser136) and Caspase9 in model and Qishu granule groups increased in every time points (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, expression level of p-Akt (Ser473) in Qishu granule group decreased significantly in the 1st, 2nd, and 4th weeks, expression level of Caspase9 dropped in the 1st and the 4th weeks, with statistical significance (P<0.05,P<0.01);expressions of p-Akt (Thr308) and Bad (Ser136) were lower than those in model group, without statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion Qishu granule could regulate PI3K/Akt signaling transduction pathways, and inhibit the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis.

Objective To establish a rapid and convenient method for determination of genomic DNA methylation in cells.Methods Five standard substances (dC, mdC, dA, dT and dG) were separated by high-performance capillary electrophoresis.Bare fused-silica capillary was used and eletrophoresis buffer was 48 mmol/L NaHCO3 with 60 mmol/L SDS, pH 9.6.The temperature of separation was controlled at 25 ℃ and a voltage of 20 kV was applied.The separation of the mixture was performed at a wavelength of 256 nm with UV-Vis detection and injection time was 5 seconds at 0.7 psi.Under optimal condition,genomic DNA methylation in methotrexate drug-resistant A549 cells was detected.Results The optimal condition was made by adjusting SDS concentration(40, 60, 80 mmol/L), pH value of running buffer(9.4,9.6, 9.8), voltage(15, 17, 19, 20, 22 kV), injection time(5, 10, 15, 20, 30 s) and capillary temperature(15, 20, 25, 30 ℃).The method for determination of genomic DNA methylation in cells was established.Five substances were completely separated by high-performance capillary electrophoresis in 10 mins.Intra-day coefficient of variation was less than 0.2% and inter-day coefficient of variation was less than 2%.The minimal detection limit was 2 μmol/L.Percentage of mdC in A549 parent cells was (4.80 ±0.52) %.Percentage of mdC in 15, 30, 40 μmol/L methotrexate drug-resistant A549 cells were (4.20±0.44) %, ( 3.70 ± 0.36 ) %, (3.10±0.35 ) %, respectively.Conclusions Genomic DNA methylation can be quantificated by high-performance capillary electrophoresis efficiently, rapidly, conveniently and sensitively.Genomic DNA methylation in methotrexate drug resistance cells decreases significantly.

Objective To establish a method for detection folylpolyglutamate syntbetase (FPGS),explore the change of FPGS in the drug-resistant A549 cells induced by methotrexate(MTX) enantiomer,and provide new tools to further investigate drug resistant mechanism. Methods A549 cell lines induced by L-( + )-MTX and D-( - )-MTX (25 μmol/L) were chosen to raise three cell lines as compared with MTX-sensitive cell line. Then FPGS were extracted for the CEIA-LIF and western blot was performed. After validation, FPGS antibodies were labeled by fluoreacein isothiocyanate (FITC) and produced a immune response with former-extracted FPGS. CELA-LIF can separate and detect labeled proteins according ruination time of the protein with different size and detect FPGS in drug resistant cell lines induced with L-(+)-MTX and D-(- )-MTX. The accuracy was evaluated as compared with western blot assay. Results The separation time of CEIA-LIF for labeled FPGS antibody and the immune complexes were7. 1 min and 8.9 min, and the resolving power was 4. 5. The process of protein separation and detection can be accomplished in less than 10 minutes. Western blot analysis showed there was no non-specific bands appears in the extract of these three cell lines after the freeze-thaw in liquid nitrogen. The minimum detection level in sensitive cell strains was 0. 68 mg/μl. The consent of FPGS in L-(+)-MTX and D-( - )-MTX induced cells were 46. 59% and 48. 36% compared with drug sensitive cell strains with CELA-LIF. Conclusions CELA-LIF was established in this experiment. It is efficient and sensitive for detecting of FPGS, which is similar to western blot method. The level of FPGS in L-( + )-MTX and D-( - )-MTX induced drug resistant cell lines is significantly lower, indicating the expression of FPGS is damaged.

Objective To discuss the developing law of pathogeny and mechanism of chronic hepatitis type B.Methods Patients of chronic hepatitis type B,early hepatocirrhosis and ascites caused by hepatocirrhosis was chosen as objects and clinical information was collected face to face.Patterns of Chinese medicine were confirmed and counted seperately according to efficiency,deficiency and efficiency-deficiency sydrome,harmed Zang-Fu organs and syndrome factors.Finally,the developing law of pathogeny and mechanism was analyzed.Results As the state of chronic hepatitis type Bevolving,simple efficiency and deficiency sydrome decrease with efficiency-deficiency sydrome increasing.Zang-Fu organs damaged by chronic hepatitis type B including mostly liver,gallblader,spleen,stomach,kidney,Trijiao and so on,among which spleen and liver are mainly damaged.As the state of chronic hepatitis type B evolving,the frequencies of damage to gallblader,spleen,stomach,kidney,Trijiao and so on increase.Most simple chronic hepatitis type B cases are due to Shi,Shi-Re,efficiency and stasis of Qi,while most of early hepatocirrhosis stem from Shi-Re,extravasated blood,efficiency and stasis of Qi,with that of ascites caused by hepatocirrhosis originating from Shi-Re,extravasated blood,Shui,efficiency of Qi and Yin. Conclusion There is developing law in the character,location and syndrome factors of chronic hepatitis type B.
