ABSTRACT
Objective To establish blood reference ranges and compare these ranges with national standard in northeast Sichuan area .Methods Routine blood parameters of red blood cell ,white blood cell ,hemoglobin blood platelet count were detected in 12 480 healthy adult and old persons(divided groups according to gender ,age) and 1 120 neonatal from June 2013 to June 2014 in North Si-chuan Medical College Affiliated Hospital ,and concluded their routine blood reference range ,then analyzed the difference with the national standard .Results The range of red blood cells had no statistical difference compared with national standard in different age and gender groups(P>0 .05) .The ranges of white blood cell count and hemoglobin had significant differences compared with the national standard only in the neonatal group(P<0 .05) .The range of platelet count had significant difference compared with the na-tional standard in all age and gender groups(P<0 .05) in the northeast area of sichuan .Conclusion There are significant differ-ences between the partial routine blood value in the northeast area of Sichuan and the current reference range ,and might influence the clinical judgment of abnormal results .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the cooperative antifungal effect of antibacterial peptide MUC7 combined with Bifidobacte‐ria in vitro .Methods The antifungal effect was observed and measured by viable count and the Oxford cup method .Results Two methods exhibited more potent antifungal effect on Candida albicans ,Candida albicans ,Candida krusei and Candida parapsilosis in MUC7 combined with Bifidobacteria group .The colonies′numbers in MUC7 combined with Bifidobacteria group were 2 .00 ± 1 .13 , 2 .00 ± 1 .42 ,5 .00 ± 2 .03 ,2 .00 ± 1 .39 respectively by viable counting ,which was lower than thoes in the saline group and Bifidobacterium group (P<0 .01) ,these two groups were significant lower than those in MUC7 group (P<0 .05);the inhibition zone in MUC7 combined with Bifidobacteria group were (29 .00 ± 2 .17) ,(31 .00 ± 3 .25) ,(29 .00 ± 2 .89) ,(30 .00 ± 3 .36)mm de‐tected by the Oxford cup method ,which showed a significantly difference with the saline group ,Bifidobacterium group and MUC7 group(P< 0 .05) .Conclusion Antibacterial peptide MUC7 combined with Bifidobacterium exhibits good antifungal effect which may provide a foundation for the further research on a new generation of antifungal Bifidobacterium preparation .
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between FAB‐classifying standard and immunophenotype of leukemia in clinical diagnostic and treatment .Methods There were 462 cases of leukemia according to FAB‐classifying standard and 34 cases by immu‐nophenotype in our hospital from 2011 to 2013 .The results of FAB‐classifying standard and immunophenotype were statisticed and compared .Results Among the 462 cases ,there were 171 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) ,50 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) , 76 chronic leukemia ,3 rare types ,56 unclear types and 27 mismatched according the FAB‐classifying standard .The diagnostic rate was 82 .03% .34 cases of immunophenotype included 29 single phenotype ,4 double phenotypes and 1 unknown .The diagnosis rate was 97 .06% .CD13 and CD33 have high positive express in AML ;CD34 and HLA‐DR do not express in M3 ;CD7 which was known as a lymphatic antigen also was founded in AML .Conclusion The combing use of FAB‐classifying standard and immunophenotype can improve diagnostic rate ,and immunophenotype has an important role in differentiating different subtypes of leukemia .
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effects of Danshen Injection (DSI) on the proliferation of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA FLSs) cultured in RA patients' serum.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The RA FLSs harvested from RA patients' synovial fluid were primarily cultured by routines. The cells were cultured with 10% inactivated human serum (the healthy human serum and the RA patients' serum) for 24 h. Then DSI at the final concentration of 0. 4 mg/mL was added in the cells for further 24 h culture. By taking 10% fetal calf serum as the control, the morphological changes were observed under optical microscope. The proliferation was analyzed by MTT. The apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The total RNA was extracted and reverse transcription was performed. The Bax mRNA expression was detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) After human serum was added in the healthy human serum and RA patients' serum, cells could grow adhering to the wall. Compared with the fetal calf serum group (FCS), the cell density was higher in the healthy human serum group than in the fetal calf serum group, with no obvious morphological changes. (2) MTT results showed that, compared with the fetal calf serum group, the absorbance value (OD) obviously increased in the healthy human serum group and the RA patients' serum group, showing statistical difference (P <0.01). After adding DSI at the final concentration of 0.4 mg/mL, cells from different serums were inhibited to various degrees (with OD significantly decreased, P <0.05). The OD value significantly increased more in the healthy human serum group and the RA patients' serum group than in the fetal calf serum group, showing statistical difference (P <0.01). There was statistical difference between the healthy human serum group and the RA patients' serum group (P <0.01). (3) The apoptosis rate in the RA patients' serum group obviously decreased with statistical difference, when compared with the Salvia miltiorrhiza free fetal calf serum group (P >0. 01). The apoptosis rate in the fetal calf serum group and the RA patients' serum group significantly increased after adding 0.4 mg/mL Salvia miltiorrhiza, showing statistical difference when compared with the Salvia miltiorrhiza free fetal calf serum group and the Salvia miltiorrhiza free RA patients' serum group (P <0.05). The FLSs were effected by 0.4 mg/mL Salvia miltiorrhiza, the apoptosis rate significantly decreased in the healthy human serum group and the RA patients' serum group, showing statistical difference when compared with the fetal calf serum group (P <0. 05, P <0.01). (4) The expression of Bax gene significantly increased in the RA patients' serum group and the fetal calf serum group after action of 0.4 mg/mL Salvia miltiorrhiza, showing statistical difference (P <0. 01). When 0.4 mg/mL Salvia miltiorrhiza was added, the expression of Bax mRNA obviously increased in the healthy human serum group and the RA patients' serum group, showing statistical difference when compared with the fetal calf serum group (P <0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>(1) Although healthy human serum can be favorable to the growth of RA FLSs, the fetal calf serum could reflect the actual results better in the cyto biological research on specific diseases (if there is no serum from patients with corresponding disease). (2) DSI could inhibit the proliferation of RA FLSs through promoting their apoptosis.</p>
