RESUMO
Objective:To detect the level of long non-coding RNA LINP1 (lncRNA-LINP1) in endometrial carcinoma and to explore the prognostic value of the expression leve.Methods:From January 2015 to December 2016, the tissue samples of 82 patients with endometrial carcinoma in North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital were used as endometrial carcinoma group, and the normal adjacent tissues were selected as the paracancerous control group.The expression of LINP1 mRNA was measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The clinicopathological data of the patients were collected, and the relationship between the expression of LINP1 mRNA and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the relationship between the expression of LINP1 mRNA and the survival rate of endometrial patients; and COX multivariate analysis was used to identify the risk factors of death in patients with endometrial cancer.Results:The expression of LINP1 mRNA in endometrial carcinoma group and paracancerous control group were (2.38±0.43) and (1.00±0.24). There was significant difference between the two groups ( t=25.376, P<0.001). The results of clinicopathological parameters showed that the expression of LINP1 mRNA was not related to the age and histological type of endometrial carcinoma (all P>0.05). It was related to lymph node metastasis, FIGO stage, tumor differentiation and vascular invasion (all P<0.05). the three-year total survival rate of the group with high expression of LINP1 mRNA (48.78%) was lower than that of the group with low expression of LINP1 mRNA (80.49%), and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2=6.306, P<0.05). COX Regression analysis showed that, high expression of LINP1 mRNA and FIGO Stage III, IV and lymph node metastasis were the risk factors for death in endometrial cancer patients (HR(95% CI) were 2.898(2.031-4.136), 1.831(1.448-2.316), 1.708(1.364-2.138), P values were 0.002, 0.004 and 0.008, respectively. Conclusion:The high expression of LINP1 mRNA in endometrial carcinoma is closely related to lymph node metastasis, FIGO stage, tumor differentiation, vascular invasion and prognosis.It is a risk factor for the death of patients with endometrial cancer and may be used as an index to evaluate the prognosis of patients with endometrial cancer.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the ability of Sysmex urine automatic analyzer UF-5000 to detect renal tubular epithelial cells, and to explore the value of detection of renal tubular epithelial cells in renal tubular injury of diabetes mellitus.Methods:Case control study. 452 urine samples were collected from the third Xiangya Third Hospital of Central South University from October 2018 to April 2019 (252 in the control group, 113 in diabetes without renal injury group and 87 in diabetes with renal injury group). All samples were detected by both UF-5000 and microscopic examination, established reference range for normal population, then contrasted the coincidence rate and uniformity of the two methods, to evaluate the ability of urine automatic analyzer UF-5000 to detect renal tubular epithelial cells, and the diagnostic value of tubular epithelial cells for renal tubular injury in diabetic patients. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS17.0, Kappa consistency analysis, ROC curve analysis, Kruskal-Wallis test and Chi-square test were used.Results:The reference range of renal tubular epithelial cells by Sysmex urine automatic analyzer UF-5000 is 0-1.7/μl. The results of the two methods were analyzed by Kappa consistency analysis. The Kappa value was 0.699, P>0.05, which meant highly consistent. ROC curve analysis showed when cut-off value was 1.7/μl. The sensitivity, specificity and area under ROC curve were 0.791, 0.817 and 0.861 respectively. The median of renal tubular epithelial cells was 0.4/μl, 2.0/μl and 2.3/μl in the healthy control group, the diabetes without renal injury group and the diabetes with renal injury group, respectively; the positive rate of renal tubular epithelial cells in the three groups were 2.78%, 56.64% and 75.86% respectively. Compared with the control group, the median and positive rate of renal tubular epithelial cells in the diabetes without renal injury group and the diabetes with renal injury group were significant different; there was also significant difference in the positive rate of renal tubular epithelial cells between the two groups. Conclusion:Compared with the control group, the positive rate of urine renal tubular epithelial cells indiabetes without renal injury group is significantly higher, which is helpful to detect renal tubular injury, to carry out early intervention and to prolong the time of progression to chronic kidney disease.
RESUMO
Objective:A multi-center and large sample volume study was conducted on the verification and improvement of the early established criteria for intelligent routine urinalysis validation (including the microscopic review rules and manual validation rules, referred to as intelligent criteria for short), in order to improve the clinical application of this intelligent criteria.Methods:A total of 31 456 urine specimens were collected from the inpatients and outpatients in six hospitals in China, from March to September 2019. Firstly, 3105 specimens were analyzed for preliminary verification and improvement of the intelligent criteria based on the results of the microscopic examination and manual validation. Secondly, 28 351 specimens were used to verify the clinical application of the improved intelligent criteria. All samples were manually validated as reference.Results:The approval inconsistency rate of the manual validation rules in the original intelligent criteria was 8.59% (202/2 352), and the interception inconsistency rate was 8.84% (208/2 352). The false negative rate and the microscopic review rate of the microscopic review rules were similar to the previous results. Based on an in-depth analysis of big data and the discussions by senior technicians from eight hospitals, one microscopic review rules and four manual validation rules were added, meanwhile two manual validation rule was deleted. The manual validation standards were unified. Finally, the intelligent criteria was improved. Based on the improved intelligent criteria, for microscopic review rules, the false positive rate, false negative rate (misdiagnosis rate), and microscopic review rate did not change significantly, which were 14.72% (457/3 105), 4.06% (126/3 105), and 24.73% (768/3 105), respectively. The approval inconsistency rate and the interception inconsistency rate of manual validation rules were both reduced to 0; the total manual validation rate of the intelligent criteria was 50.89% (1 580/3 105), and the auto-validation rate was 49.11% (1 525/3 105). The large sample volume verification results were consistent with the preliminary verification results of the improved intelligent criteria.Conclusion:This multi-center and large sample volume study had shown that the improved intelligent criteria had better clinical performance.
