RÉSUMÉ
Objective To comapre and analyze the differences and commonalities of expression profiles of serum exosomal microRNA between patients with thyroid nodules and healthy persons at different iodine levels,and then provide evidence for screening early diag-nostic markers of thyroid nodules at different iodine levels.Methods The peripheral blood samples from 10 patients with thyroid nod-ules and healthy volunteers at different iodine levels were collected.Their serum iodine levels were measured by the arsenic cerium cat-alytic spectrophotometry.Serum exosomal microRNA were extracted and the expression levels of microRNA were determined by the high-throughput sequencing technology.The differential target genes were predicted and further performed Gene ontology(GO)analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analysis.Results Compared with healthy volunteers,there were 6 downreg-ulated miRNAs in the patients with thyroid nodules at different iodine levels,namely miR-324-5p,miR-6511b-3p,miR-9903,miR-550a-3p,miR-5001-3p,and miR-3688-3p.Differentially expressed exosomal microRNA could regulate the MAPK signaling path-way,PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,VEGF signaling pathway,and NF-κB signaling pathway.Conclusion Six differentially expressed microRNAs is identified,which may serve as biological markers for the early diagnosis of thyroid nodules at different iodine levels.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective To explore the pathological changes of liver fibrosis of patients with schistosomiasis liver fibrosis.Methods Between January 2003 and January 2009,microstructure retrospective observation of liver biopsy pathological paraffin specimens by optical microscope was carried out in 9 cases of patients with schistosomiasis liver fibrosis in Quzhou people's hospital internal medicine.Then those paraffin blocks were changed to resin embedding blocks and superfine slices were made.Ultrastructure observation by electronic microscope was carried out.Results Visible fibrous scar formation and fiber calcified nodule eggs in microscopic structure of liver tissue in 9 cases of patients with schistosomiasis liver fibrosis were observed.Ultrastructural observation of the 9 cases of patients with schistosomiasis liver fibrosis showed that most of the liver cell profile was clear,liver cell nucleus gap expanded,the number of rough endoplasmic reticulum decreased,swollen mitochondria crest occurred,collagen deposited around hepatic sinus and surroundings and collagen fiber bundle around small veins extended to hepatic lobule and surroundings,and calcified nodule eggs were not easy to find.Conclusions Under an electron microscope,diseased tissue cells can be observed at subcellular level or organelle level,which provides more insight into the pathology of schistosomiasis liver fibrosis.Calcified egg nodules are easily found by an optical microscope other than an electron microscopy.The two can complement each other.
