ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) ,carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) ,carbohydrate antigen antigen (CA199) ,carbohydrate antigen 153 (CA153) and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) in the early di-agnosis of ovarian cancer .Methods From February 2014 to October 2016 ,117 patients with ovarian cancers who were treated in this hospital were selected ,including 69 cases of ovarian cancer and 48 cases of benign ovarian lesions ,and 70 healthy volunteers were selected as control group .The serum levels of HE4 ,CA125 ,CA199 ,CA153 and AFP were measured in all subjects . Results The positive rates of HE4 ,CA125 ,CA199 ,CA153 and AFP in the ovarian cancer group were 59 .42% ,68 .12% ,33 .33% , 46 .38% and 39 .13% ,respectively ,which were significantly higher than those in the benign ovarian lesion group and the control group (P<0 .05) .The sensitivity of CA125 in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer was 68 .11% ,the specificity was 88 .98% ,the nega-tive predictive value was 78 .33% ,the positive predictive value was 82 .68% ,Youden index was 0 .571 .The diagnostic efficiency was better than that of other tumor markers .Pathological examination revealed 34 cases of serous adenocarcinoma ,18 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma and 17 cases of endometrioid carcinoma in 69 cases of ovarian cancer .The positive rate of serous adenocarcinoma CA125 was 85 .29% ,significantly higher than mucinous carcinoma and endometrioid carcinoma (χ2 =9 .398 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion CA125 has a good application value in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer ,the positive rate is higher in serous adenocarcinoma .

ABSTRACT
Objective To establish an experimental model for the study of α-particle-induced bystander effect of DNA damage and investigate the characteristics of bystander DNA double-strand break (DSB).Methods The red fluorescence fusion protein of HsBrkl-RFP was used to mark the cytoplasm of one cell line to distinguish the irradiated target cells (HFS-RFP) and the non-irradiated bystander cells (HFS) in the co-culture cellular model.After α-particle irradiation,cellular DSB and its repair kinetics were analyzed by the immunofluorescence staining of γH2AX and laser confocal microscope observation.Results A bystander studying model was established by co-culturing human HFS-RFP cells with its partner HSF cells.After 0.1 Gy or 0.2 Gy α-particle irradiation,the similar kinetics of γH2AX foci production and abatement were observed in both irradiated HFS-RFP cells and non-irradiated bystander HFS cells,in which the highest level of γH2AX foci was detected at 1 h post-irradiation.The second peak of γH2AX foci formation appeared at 8 h post-irradiation,which possibly indicates the occurrence of secondary DSB.However,the production of secondary DSB in the bystander cells was weaker than that in the irradiated cells.Conclusions The cell co-culture model can be used for bystander effect investigation.Bystander DSB can be effectively induce by irradiation and the secondary breakage of DNA DSB in the bystander cells may relative to the consequential biochemical processing of clustered DNA damage.
