ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish a method to detect food allergen based on Latex-enhanced immune turbidimetry ( PETIA) and apply to clinic.Methods: The PETIA method was used for evaluating the detection system including standard curve , detection-limit,stability, intra-assay and inter-assay precision and cross-reactivity,clinical normal serum specimens and clinical allergic diseases serum specimens were measured to evaluated the perspective of the clinical application .Results: The standard curve :Y=837.1 x2-125.2x+10.036, linear range: 0.0-400 U/ml, the correlation coefficient of the standard curve was 0.996, the intrabatch and interbatch precision was<10%.The normal reference range was≤33.5 U/ml,the AUC of ROC curve was 0.957,the sensitivity was 89.61%,The specificity was 65.22%, the accuracy was 84.00%, and the positive predicted value was 89.61%, the negative predicted value was 65.22%.the test results have strong correlation with ELISA ( r=0.890 2 ) .Conclusion: The PETIA method for detecting food allergen achieved corresponding clinical application standards and may be used for the diagnosis of food allergies .
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the pattern and the clinicopathologic risk factors of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in pN1 stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical data of 181 patients (154 male and 27 female patients, aging from 38 to 84 years) who underwent esophagectomy during January 2005 and December 2008 were reviewed, including 69 cases through left thoracotomy and 112 cases through right thoracotomy. All patients underwent systematic lymphadenectomy. The risk factors related to lymph node metastasis were analyzed by χ² test and Logistic regression analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The relatively highest LNM site were middle and lower thoracic paraesophageal (38.4%), right and left cardiac (35.3%) and the left gastric artery (38.8%). The LNM of middle and lower thoracic paraesophageal was correlated with T stage (χ² =11.754, P=0.009). A correlation was also found among the LNM of upper mediastinum and the location of tumor (P=0.039). The T stage (χ² =8.694, P=0.034) and TNM stage (χ² =6.906, P=0.032) were the risk factors of the LNM of middle and lower mediastinum. The risk factors of the LNM of abdomen were the location of tumor, the length of tumor, T stage and TNM stage (χ² =5.713 to 16.749, P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the location of tumor is the independent risk factors for the abdominal lymph node metastasis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The relatively highest LNM sites are correlated with the location of tumor, T stage, the length of tumor and TNM stage. According to the risk factors of LNM, the relatively highest LNM sites should be mainly swept.</p>

0.05),but the decrease of 2-hour postprandial blood glucose level and the increase of ISI in group A were superior to those in group B (P0.05).For the therapeutic effect,11 patients were cured,24 markedly effective,22 effective,13 ineffective and the total effective rate was 81.43% in group A;5 patients were cured,6 markedly effective,11 effective,13 ineffective and the total effective rate was 62.86% in group B.No obvious toxic and side effects were observed in the two groups during the treatment.【Conclusion】Yang-warming and spleen-strengthening therapy combined with antihyperglycemic drugs exerts a better effect on the treatment of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes.
