ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical diagnostic value of monoclonal gastric cancer 7 antigen(MG7-Ag) in gastric cancer through a meta-analysis .Methods The PubMed ,Embase ,ISI Web of Knowledge ,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) ,Wanfang databases were retrieved from their establishment to April 5 ,2013 .The qualities of the included literatures were assessed by the QUADAS scale .The heterogeneity test and meta-analysis were conducted by the Stata12 and the Meta-DiSc soft-wares .Results 610 articles were retrieved from databases .7 articles containing 4 516 cases conformed with the included standard . The sensitivity of MG7-Ag in diagnosing gastric cancer was 0 .72(95% CI:0 .68 -0 .76) ,its specificity was 0 .94(95% CI:0 .93 -0 .94) ,the positive likelihood ratio was 6 .09(95% CI:3 .36-11 .07) ,the negative likelihood ratio was 0 .34 (95% CI:0 .21-0 .56) and the AUC was 0 .893 4 .Conclusion The comprehensive research results indicate that MG7-Ag has the sensitivity of 0 .72 for di-agnosing gastric cancer ,which is higher than that of currently used diagnostic markers such as carcino-embryonic antigen(CEA) , CA50 and CA19-9 ,which has the high value for excluding other diseases and can be used as a marker for diagnosing gastric cancer .
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of total flavonoids of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (TFSB) on exogenous expression of influenza A virus nucleoprotein (NP) in HeLa cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>HeLa cells were transiently transfected with the empty vector pcDNA3.1(+) or pcDNA3.1(+)/NP vector harboring influenza A virus NP. The pcDNA3.1(+)/NP-transfected cells were treated with TSFB and the expression of influenza A virus NP in the cell supernatant was measured using colloidal gold immunochromatography 48 h after the transfection; fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR was performed to measure the starting copy number of NP gene.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The cells transfected with pcDNA3.1 (+)/NP with and without TFSB treatment were positive for NP expression. Fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR showed that the starting copy number of NP gene in pcDNA3.1(+)/NP-transfected cells was (8.90±2.53)×10⁶ copies/µl, showing no significant difference from that of (6.15±1.49)×10⁶ copies/µl in pcDNA3.1(+)/NP-transfected cells with subsequent TFSB treatment (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>TFSB treatment does not obviously affect exogenous influenza A virus NP gene expression or its protein synthesis in HeLa cells.</p>
