Application of Vitamin E in Pregnant Women with Autoimmune Thyroid Disease / 现代医院

Objective To investigate the changes of serum vitamin E in pregnant women with autoimmune thyroid diseases and provide evidence for clinical prevention of adverse pregnancy caused by oxidative stress. Methods Randomly selecting 221 cases of obstetrics and gynecology pregnant women in outpatient clinics in Chancheng District Central Hospital. A double antibody one-step sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect vitamin E concentration. Results The results of 221 subjects were normally distributed. The vitamin E concentration in the disease group was (353. 93 ± 141. 28) mmol/L, and the control group was (310. 49 ± 105. 49) mmol/L. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P＜0. 05). The concentration of vitamin E in different gestational weeks gradually decreased with the increase of pregnancy, and the difference between them was statistically significant (F = 8. 417, P＜0. 05). Conclusion The presence of oxidative stress during pregnancy in women with autoimmune thyroid diseases should be valued by clinicians.

Association between single nucleotide polymorphism of BARD1 gene and BRCA1 gene mutation in epithelial ovarian cancer / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of BARD 1 gene and BRCA1 gene in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods Nineteen EOC patients with BRCA1 gene mutation and 50 EOC cases without BRCA1 gene mutation between January 2016 and October 2016 were collected,and all EOC were diagnosed by pathological method.BARD1 gene variants were detected by next generation sequencing (NGS).The SNP of BARD1 gene was analyzed by Pearson linear correlation.Logistic regression analysis was used to research the clinicopathologic features and BRCA1 gene mutation associated with BARD1 gene SNP.Pearson's chi-square test was used to analyze the association between BARD1 gene Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser with different clinicopathologic features and BRCA1 gene mutation risk.Results (1) Eight BARD1 gene variants were found in 69 ovarian cancer patients,in which Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser were common variants,and the rate of mutation were all 54％ (37/69).(2) There was a significant linear correlation among Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser (all P＜0.01).(3) Obvious differences were found in Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser of BARD1 gene between BRCA1+ and BRCA1 (all P＜0.05).(4) No differences were found between BARD1 gene Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser and the clinicopathologic features (all P＞0.05),while obvious differences were found in BRCA1 gene mutation compared to the controls group.The risk of BRCA1 mutation in Val507Met and Arg378Ser were more evident in subjects with negative family history,positive menopause history,negative tubal ligation,onset age (≤60 years old) and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy in EOC (all P＜0.05),while Pro24Ser was only more evident in positive menopause history of EOC (P＜0.05).Conclusions BARD1 Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser are the common genotypes,which are associated with BRCA1 mutation in EOC.The family history,menopause history,tubal ligation,onset age and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy have effects on BARD1 SNP in the risk of BRCA1 gene mutation.

Effects of different root canal preparation techniques on premolars endodontic interappointment pain / 中国基层医药

Objective To study the clinical effects of different methods on endodontic inter appointment pain (EIAP) happened to the patients after premolar root canal preparations.Methods 152 teeth from 134 patients with acute or chronic pulpitis or apical periodontitis were randomly divided into T group and K group,used TiLos mixed root canal preparation system with step-down technique and stainless steel K file with step-back technique respectively to prepare root canal.Afterwards,the incidence rates of EIAP were observed and recorded.Results The incidence rates of EIAP in T group and K group were 6.17％ and 21.11％,respectively.There was statistically significant difference between the two groups (x2 =7.404,P ＜0.01).Conclusion TiLos mixed root canal preparation system with step-down technique to prepare root cancal can reduce the incidence rate of EIAP.

Detection situation of L-form bacteria in urinary calculi and drug resistance / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To investigate the infection situation of L-form bacteria in urinary calculi from the patients with urolithia-sis in a hospital to provide a scientific basis for postoperative anti-infection and prevention of urinary stone recurrence.Methods The calculi samples in 265 cases of urinary calculi from October to December 2015 were collected and performed the culture of com-mon bacteria and L-form bacteria respectively.Culture of common bacteria and bacterial L-forms.Results Among 265 cases of uri-nary calculi ,8 cases(3% ,8/265) were L-form Bacterial combined with common bacterial infection ,only 7 cases(2.6% ,7/265) were L-form bacterial infection ,80 cases (30.0% ,80/265) were common bacterial infection.15 strains of L-form bacteria were detected and 96 strains of common bacteria were detected.The drug resistance of L-form bacteria was significantly increased compared with common bacteria.Conclusion The positive rate of L-form bacteria culture of urinary calculi is lower than other domestic reports. Adding hypertonic medium for conducting L-form bacterial isolation and culture in the patients with urinary tract infection can re-duce the false negative.

Clinical significance and distribution of BRCA genes mutation in sporadic high grade serous ovarian cancer / 中华妇产科杂志

Objective To investigate the mutations of BRCA genes in sporadic high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and study its clinical significance. Methods Sixty-eight patients between January 2015 and January 2016 from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were collected who were based on pathological diagnosis of ovarian cancer and had no reported family history, and all patients firstly hospitalized were untreated in other hospitals before. (1)The BRCA genes were detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. (2)The serum tumor markers included carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA125, CA199, and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) were detected by the chemiluminescence methods, and their correlation was analyzed by Pearson linear correlation. Descriptive statistics and comparisons were performed using two-tailed t-tests, Pearson′s chi square test, Fisher′s exact tests or logistic regression analysis as appropriate to research the clinicopathologic features associated with BRCA mutations, including age, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)stage, platinum-based chemotherapy sensitivity, distant metastases, serum tumor markers (STM). Results (1) Fifteen cases (22%, 15/68) BRCA mutations were identified (BRCA1: 11 cases; BRCA2: 4 cases), and four novel mutations were observed. (2) The levels of CEA, CA199, and HE4 were lower in BRCA mutations compared to that in control group, while no significant differences were found (P>0.05), but the level of CA125 was much higher in BRCA mutation group than that in controls (t=-3.536,P=0.003). Further linear regression analysis found that there was a significant linear correlation between CA125 and HE4 group (r=0.494,P0.05), while significant differences were found in CA125 and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy between the patients with BRCA mutation and wild type (P<0.05). The multiple factors analysis showed that the high level of CA125 was a independent risk factor of BRCA mutations in sporadic HGSOC (P=0.007). Conclusion The combination of CA125 with BRCA have great clinical significance, the mutation of BRCA gene could guild the clinical chemotherapy regiments.
