RESUMEN
With the development of biological technology, molecular diagnosis has been increasingly applied in clinical practice and treatment.Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children is a chronic intestinal inflammation caused by infection, immunity, environment and other factors in a specific genetic background.Children with IBD, especially early-onset and very early-onset IBD, can be considered a monogenic disease.Early identification of such children in clinical work and timely improvement of gene detection can identify the types of gene defects and reveal the inflammatory signal transduction pathways, providing a theoretical basis for the selection of treatment options.Moreover, drug-related pharmacogenetics in the treatment of IBD directly affects the organism′s response rate to drugs, thereby affecting the clinical remission and intestinal mucosal repair.Therefore, the understanding of the characteristics of drug immunogenicity of the Asian population, which can reduce the unnecessary waste of medical resources, the adverse drug reactions in children during the induction and maintenance of remission and complications and recurrence rate, is of great importance.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the level of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in serum of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to explore the relationship between hs-CRP level and clinical characteristics and prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 96 patients with NSCLC (NSCLC group), 50 patients with benign lung disease (benign lung disease group) and 45 normal subjects (control group) from August 2015 to August 2019 were analyzed. The expression of hs-CRP in serum were detected by immunofluorescence immunoassay. The tumor markers carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125), cytokeratin-19 fragment antigen (Cyfra21-1), neuronspecific enolase (NSE)were measured using automatic biochemical immunoassay. The relationship between hs-CRP and age, gender, tumor pathological type, clinical stage, imaging relief in patients with NSCLC were analyzed. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of hs-CRP combined with CEA, CA125, Cyfra21-1 and NSE were calculated.Results:The levels of hs-CRP in NSCLC group and benign lung disease group were higher than that in control group [(14.9 ± 7.5), (26.4 ± 10.2) mg/L vs. (5.1 ± 1.3) mg/L], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05 or <0.01); the level of hs-CRP in NSCLC group was lower than that in benign lung disease group [(14.9 ± 7.5) mg/L vs. (26.4 ± 10.2) mg/L], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of CEA, CA125, Cyfra21-1, NSE in NSCLC group were higher than that in benign lung disease group and control group, and there were significant differences ( P<0.01 or<0.05). In 96 patients with NSCLC, there was 49 patients with elevated hs-CRP (hs-CRP elevated group) and 47 patients with normal hs-CRP (hs-CRP normal group). Single factor analysis showed that the level of hs-CRP had no correlation with age, gender and tumor pathological type ( P>0.05), but had correlation with clinical stage ( P<0.05). After detecting the lesions by CT, the rate of solid tumors in hs-CRP elevated group was 66.0%, in hs-CRP normal group was 40.8%, and there was significant difference ( χ2 = 6.089, P<0.05).After followed up for 2 months in NSCLC patients, the disease control rate in hs-CRP elevated group was 59.6%, in hs-CRP normal group was 85.7%, and there was significant difference ( χ2 = 8.300, P<0.01). The ensitivity, specificity and accuracy of hs-CRP combined with CEA, CA125, Cyfra21-1 and NSE was 89.0%, 80.4% and 82.3%. Conclusions:Patients with NSCLC have high expression of hs-CRP, which is correlated with disease progression and clinical treatment. The indicator of hs-CRP combined with CEA, CA125, Cyfra21-1 and NSE may be important for diagnosis and prognosis of NSCLC.

RESUMEN
Objective To assay the level of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and healthy controls and compare the difference between SLE group and control group, and to analyze between the level of NETs and related laboratory parameters. Methods Forty-four females patients with SLE were recruited as research subjects, with 24 cases in the active stage and 20 in stable stage. Forty-two healthy female volunteers matched in age were enrolled as control subjects. The fluorescence intensity of NETs in neutrophils was detected by fluorospectrophotometry. The concentration of neutrophil elastase in plasma was quantitatively detected. Statistical analysis of the difference of level of NETs between the SLE group and control group was conducted. Then the correlation between the fluorescence intensity of NETs and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and anti-histone, and anti-nucleosome, and systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) was analyzed respectively. The same tests were conducted for the level of NE. The results of the two groups were compared using analysis of variance and the relevance was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. NETs morphosis was observated by immunoflurescence method, and the difference of NETs between SLE group and control group was analyzed. Results ① The fluorescence intensity of NETs was significantly increased in SLE group(241±139) than that in the control group (173±135), (t=2.31, P0.05] and NE concentration [(104±43) vs (96±48), t=0.50, P>0.05] between SLE active stage and stable stage was detected. ③ The fluorescence intensity of NETs in SLE patients was positively correlated with SLEDAI, but had no obvious correlation with anti-dsDNA, anti-histone, anti-nucleosome, CRP or ESR, respectively. ④Images under confocal microscope showed that more NETs generated by PMN from SLE patients than that from controls. Conclusion The generation of NETs is enhanced in female patients with SLE. And NETs may relate to disease activity. However, NETs may not induce the production of autoantibodies.

RESUMEN
The drug-loading system of DMF (dextran - magnetic layered double hydroxide - fluorouracil) was synthesized by "co-precipitation intercalated assembly - dextran composite in situ - solvent conversion" technology. The crystal-phase characteristic and slow-release performance of DMF were investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectrum (IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetry (TG) and in vitro release experiment. The targeted transshipment and slow-release effect of DMF system were evaluated by in vivo animal experiment. It was showed that the XRD of DMF matched with R-sixtetragonum type layered double hydroxide and Fd-3m cubic type ferrite. IR test demonstrated that the DMF system was a supra-molecular complex consisted of Dextran (DET), magnetic layered double hydroxide (MLDH) and fluorouracil (FU) components. The two-level supra-molecular MLDH-FU presented six-edge lozenge TEM morphology, with layered characteristics. DET on the surface of DMF was capable of protecting the layered structure of MLDH-FU, improving particle dispersion properties, and strengthening the slow-release performance of the drug delivery system. The drug release model of DMF at pH 7.35 of PBS in vitro fit to the zero-order kinetics equation C = 1.1716 x 10(-5) + 4.4626 x 10(-7) t. The drug delivery system DMF could transport drugs principally to in vivo target organs with a local effect, targeted specificity, and excellent circulation transshipment performance. The pharmacokinetic process of DMF presented multi-peak phenomenon with peak attenuation and cyclic growth. The peaks appeared at 0.25, 1, 3, 5 and 9 d separately after dosing intervention. The first peak process of DMF accorded with a pharmacokinetic equation of C(FU) = 14.34 e(-0.530t) + 36.04 e(-0.321t) + 24.18 e(-0.96t), and presented the characteristic of slow absorption and fast elimination. As for subsequent peak processes, half-life increased, bioavailability increased, and plasma clearance decreased. The highest peak value of DMF was 1/37 of original value of FU, and the relative bioavailability was 419% to original FU.
