ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the tumor/ non-tumor (T/ NT) ratio during 99 Tcm-hydrazinon-icotinamide(HYNIC)-( poly-( ethylene glycol), PEG) 4-Glu( cyclo ( Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Lys ( PEG4 ))) 2 ( 99 Tcm-3PRGD2 ) SPECT/ CT imaging and clinical pathological features of breast cancer. Methods Forty-five female patients (age range: 39-76 (53.0±9.5) years) with suspected breast malignant nodules or mas-ses from October 2016 to June 2017 were prospectively enrolled. Patients underwent 99 Tcm-3PRGD2 SPECT/CT imaging before breast puncture and surgery. All subjects had pathological results, and estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2), Ki-67 and mi-crovessel density ( MVD) were obtained by immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH). Two-sample t test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to analyze the data. Results Invasive duc-tal carcinoma was pathologically confirmed in 35 of 45 patients. There were 7 patients in stage Ⅰ, 11 pa-tients in stage ⅡA and 17 patients in stage ⅡB. The Luminal A subtype, Luminal B subtype, ERBB2+subtype, Basal-like subtype were found in 6, 9, 9 and 11 patients, respectively. The T/ NT ratio was signifi-cantly higher in the stageⅡB patients than that in stageⅠ+ⅡA patients (4.54±1.46 vs 3.32±1.72, t= -2.24, P<0.05). Patients with ERBB2+ subtype had higher T/ NT ratio compared to patients with Basal-like sub-type: 5.80(3.90, 6.70) vs 2.80(2.20,3.50), H= 11.06, χ2 = 15.31, both P<0.05. Besides, the T/ NT ra-tios in the HER-2 positive group and lymphatic metastasis group were significantly higher than those in the HER-2 negative group and group without lymph node metastasis (t values: -3.99, -2.51, both P<0.05). MVD of HER-2 positive group was higher than that of HER-2 negative group (t= 7.13, P<0.01). Conclu-sion The T/ NT ratio during 99 Tcm-3PRGD2 SPECT/ CT imaging has relations with TNM staging, lymph node infiltration and HER-2 in breast cancer.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical practicality of two different D-dimer assays by studying the correlation of the testing results by two different D-dimer reagents with fibrin degradation products (FDP)result values and analyzing the Clinical alignment.Methods A representative cross-sectional study of 762 clinical patients’plasma specimens were taken to measure the results of D-dimer and FDP by using Sysmex CA-1500 automated coagulation analyzer,D-DIMER detection rea-gent respectively Siemens Innovance D-DIMER and Dade Behring D-DIMER Plus reagents.Then rating frequency analysis and Spearman correlation test were applied to analyze the correlation of measurement results.Results Overall,to the same patient,the correlation of D-dimer tested by Siemens Innovance D-DIMER Reagent with FDP level was significant positive (r= 0.954,P 5 mg/L FEU,the correlation was the best (P5μg/ml)and FDP positive rate in both different cases when D-dimer results was also positive,FDP positive rate in Innovance D-DIMER Reagent group (about 65.76%)was lower than DD Plus Reagent group,it indicated that D-dimer results tested by Innovance D-DIMER Reagent could raise before FDP reacted,so D-dimer had a higher sensitivity than FDP.Conclusion It can provide a more precise clinical diagnosis and treatment infor-mation when using Siemens Innovance D-DIMER Reagent to detect D-dimer values and combined FDP values at the same time.
ABSTRACT
Neonatal inherited metabolic diseases are a group of metabolic disorders caused by singe gene defect to cause a series of clinical symptoms.Neonatal dried blood spots have the advantages of simple preparation,safety,good stability,and show strong practicability in different screening methods for inherited metabolic diseases.With the development of screening methods,more and more diseases could be diagnosed by screening.The emergence of tandem mass spectrometry and molecular biological techniques promote the newborn screening and automation for inherited metabolic disease effectively.Inherited metabolic diseases induce great harm to the newborn,which could cause not only system organs damage,but also lead to death.Therefore,early screening is important for patients' prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the Relationship between the CYP2C19 polymorphism and the efficacy of triple therapy with lansoprazole on Helicobacter pylori infection. Methods 125 elderly patients diagnosed with H.pylori infection were treated with triple therapy. Polymorphism of CYP2C19 was measured by AS-PCR. 105 young patients were selected as control group. The relationship between the polymorphism and eradication rate were analyzed. Results Among the 125 patients,eradication rate of extensive metabolizer group,internal metabolizer group and poor metabolizer groups was 85.29%,76%and 89.39%, respectively. There was no significant difference between groups (P > 0.05). Eradication rate showed no difference between experimental and control group either (P>0.05)(P>0.05). Conclusion The results suggests that the CYP2C19 polymorphism has no correlation with the eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori infection by triple therapy with lansoprazole in elderly patients.
ABSTRACT
We established a purification system for glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion protein using glutathione coupled magnetic particle. Glutathione was coupled covalently to the surface of magnetic particles with isothiocyanate functional groups. Cell lysate, containing the fusion protein, was then incubated with these glutathione coupled magnetic particles at room temperature. Unbound and non-specifically bound proteins were removed by wash steps. Subsequently, the GST-fusion protein was eluted from the magnetic particles by the addition of reduced glutathione. The resulting fusion protein was tested for purity using SDS-PAGE and demonstrated by Western blotting. The concentration of the fusion protein was measured by Bradford method. Both the conditions for incubation and washing were optimized. The results showed that 150 microg glutathione could be bound on 1 mg of particle surface and 10 mg of the glutatione-coupled magnetic particles was suitable for 100 microL lysate, the optimal incubation time for reaction between particles and lysate was 40 min. The magnetic particles could help purify efficiently GST-fusion protein with a yield of around 516 microg fusion protein per 10 mg particles. Magnetic particles can be successfully used in a simple, rapid and reliable method for the purification of GST-fusion proteins.
