Rituximab is the first monoclonal antibody that has been approved for the treatment of lymphoma. Rituximab has shown significant efficacy in the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, such as diffuse large B-cell and follicular lymphomas. Maintenance therapy with rituximab has further improved the prognosis in patients with follicular lymphoma. These patients responded to induction treatment. This antibody treatment has been recommended in treatment guidelines. The treatment strategy for lymphoma has continuously improved. Recent studies focused on how to improve the definition of the indication for maintenance therapy and how to optimize the current maintenance regimens. In this review, we summarized the main studies and the most recent advances on ritux-imab maintenance therapy in patients with lymphoma.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of severe pancreatic trauma(SPT). Methods The clinical data of 32 patients with transected pancreatic trauma(grade 3-5) admitted into our hospital in recent 20 years were retrospectively analyzed. Results Twenty patients were in grade 3, 10 in grade 4,and 2 in grade 5. Operations were performed on all 32 patients. Twenty-five recovered, and 7 died. The mortality was 21.9%.Before the operation, peritoneal lavage fluid amylase rose in 10 patients(50%),and serum amylase rose in 12 patients(60%). Imaging examination included ultrasonography in 10 (diagnosed in 3),and CT in 8 (diagnosed in 3). Diagnosis was established only in 10 patients before the operation. Complications included fistula, abscess and pseudocyst. Conclusions Incidence of associated trauma is high. The preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic trauma is difficult. The rates of morbidity and mortality are high. Early diagnosis, careful exploration and proper surgery are very important. Intraoperative pancreatography or ultrasonographic scanning is useful in diagnosis. Somatostatin and human growth hormone are useful in the treatment.

The Arabidopsis thaliana glutathione S-transferases zeta class (AtGSTZ) is a multi-functional enzyme, which plays important role in cellular metabolism and environmental purification. Error-prone PCR and cycles of DNA shuffling were used to construct a mutagenesis library of AtGSTZ. The screening of the resultant libraries was carried out by a pH indicator dye-based colorimetric assay. Nine mutants which enhanced the dichloroacetic acid dechlorination activity were obtained. Among them, NN23 contained 25 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 120%, whereas NN20 contained 24 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 102%. EC1 contained 2 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 47%. The rest 6 mutants contained one amino acid substitution with their activity increasing from 9% to 60%. The enzymatic characterization showed that all the evolved enzymes increased their catalytic efficiencies towards dichloroacetic acid and binding affinity towards glutathione whereas some of them increased the renaturability. However there is no obvious change in their thermostability. Based on these data, functional residues related to catalysis and refolding of AtGSTZ were discussed.

Objective To observe the efficiency of clopidogrel combined with emergency corona interventional therapy for non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.Methods A total of 112 patients with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who were admitted in our hospital from February 2004 to November 2007 were divided into 2 groups at random with 56 patients in each,the experimental group and the control group.All patients were treated with emergency corona interventional therapy and the other routine standard therapies.The experimental group was treated with clopidogrel(75 mg,once per day for 8 weeks),and the control group administered ticlopidine(250 mg,twice per day for 8 weeks).The two group were followed up for a time of half a year.Results The TIMI(thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) myocardial-perfusion grade 3 angiographic flow was achieved in 91.1% of the experimental group,higher than that of the control group(87.5%),but there was no significant difference between them.What's more,there was no obvious difference between the 2 group in cardiac functional grading and life-threatening bleeding.The experimental group had significantly lesser hyporrhea,and lower platelet degradation and total white blood cells counts in comparison to the control group.After the followed-up of half a year,there was significant difference between them in combination-end point.Conclusion Addition of clopidogrel is effective in emergency corona interventional therapy for non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction,which can degrade the risk of emergency corona interventional therapy.

Objective To assess the correlation between the pregnancy‐associated plasma protein A (PAPP‐A)level with gesta‐tional diabetes mellitus(GDM )in primiparous women .Methods The nonparametric test and Logistic regression analysis were used to retrospectively analyze 168 pregnant women of GDM and 273 normal pregnant women ,including age ,body weight ,PAPP‐A ,freeβ‐human chorionic gonadotropin(fβ‐hCG) .Results The age had significant difference between GDM group and control group(P<0 .01) ,the PAPP‐A concentration and corrected multiple of the median (MoM )of PAPP‐A in the GDM group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0 .01) .Conclusion Low level of PAPP‐A during early pregnant stage in primiparas is strongly associated with GDM and can be used as the risk factor of GDM .

AIM: AIM: To explore the relationship between apoptosis in the lung tissues and lung ischemia/reperfusion injury, and observe effects of panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on apoptosis in lung ischemia/reperfusion injury. METHODS: Single lung in situ ischemia/reperfusion animal model was used. Eighty four Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into control group (control), ischemia/reperfusion 1 h group (IR1h), IR3h, IR5h, Panax Notoginseng Saponins 1 h group (PNS1h), PNS3h and PNS5h. TUNEL, immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques were used to observe apoptosis and Fas/FasL expression in various phases of lung ischemia/reperfusion. RESULTS: Cell apoptosis in lung tissues were significantly high, Fas/FasL mRNA and its protein were up-regulated in lung tissues of lung ischemia/reperfusion injury compared with control (all of P

Objective To evaluate the imaging characteristics of atypical teratoid/rhab doid tumor (AT/RT) of central nervous system(CNS), and to improve the diagnostic ability of the disease. Methods The clinical and imaging findings of 9 patients were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 male and 4 female, ages 7 months to 5 years,median age was 1.4 years. MR enhancement studies were obtained in all the cases. One case had CT enhancement examination. Results The lesions were seen in brain in 8 cases and in lumbosacral spinal cord in one case. The tumors size varied from 4.8—7.8 cm, Necrosis was seen in nine cases, cystic change in eight cases and hemorrhage in five cases. The tumors had high signal on DWI, and low signal on ADC map. Dura matter invasion(2 cases), cerebrospinal fluid spread(2 cases)and intracerebral metastasis were seen. Conclusion There are some relatively specific imaging findings of primary CNS AT/RT that could assist their diagnosis.

AIM: To investigate the effect of puerarin (Pur) on expression of Fas/FasL mRNA in lung tissue during pulmonary ischemia and reperfusion injury(PIRI) in rabbits.METHODS: Single lung ischemia and reperfusion animal model was used.The rabbits were randomly divided into three groups,sham operated group(sham,n=10),PIR group(I-R,n=30) and PIR+ Pur group(Pur,n=30).Changes of several parameters included apoptotic index(AI),wet to dry ratio of lung tissue weight(W/D) and index of quantitative assessment of histologic lung injury(IQA) were measured at 60,180 and 300 minutes after reperfusion in lung tissue.Meanwhile,the location and expression of Fas/FasL mRNA were observed.Lung tissue was prepared for light microscopic and electron microscopic observation at 60,180,300 minutes after reperfusion.RESULTS: As compared with group I-R,Fas/FasL mRNA slightly expressed in intima and extima of small pulmonary artery,alveoli,and bronchiole epithelia in group Pur.The values of AI,W/D and IQA showed significantly lower than that in group I-R at 60,180,300 minutes after reperfusion in lung tissue(P

This study was aimed to explore pharmacological effects of epimedium pubescen flavonoid (EPF) on biomechanical properties among ovariectomized rats. Sixty female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (aged 2-month-old) were randomly divided into six groups (n = 10), which were the sham control group (Group A), the model group (GroupB), the standard group (Group C), the treated 1 group (Group D), the treated 2 group (Group E), and the treated 3 group (Group F). Except the sham control group (Group A), rats in other groups had been ovariectomized. All rats were given the same feedstuff. Meanwhile, Group C was given calcium 75 mg·kg-1 combined with VitD3 21 IU·kg-1 by gastrogavage every day for 4 months; Group D was given EPF 75 mg·kg-1; Group E was given EPF 150 mg·kg-1;Group F was given EPF 300 mg·kg-1. At the end of the 4th month, all rats were sacrificed. Bones, which included tibia, femur and humerus of both sides and all lumbar vertebra bodies, had been taken out. Measurement was made on the elastic modulus, maximum loading capability, maximum stress, potential energy of deformation, and structural rigidity of biomechanical properties of the fourth lumbar vertebra body (LV4); the maximum loading capability, bone break load, potential energy of deformation, structural rigidity of the structural dynamics properties of the femur com-pact bone; the elastic modulus, maximum stress, maximum inherent strain, bone break stress, and bone break strain of the mechanical properties of a material of the femur compact bone in the experimental rats. The results showed that compared with Group B, the elastic modulus, maximum loading capability, maximum stress, potential energy of deformation, and structural rigidity of LV4; the maximum loading capability, bone break load, potential energy of de-formation, structural rigidity of the structural dynamics properties of the femur compact bone; the elastic modulus, maximum stress, maximum inherent strain, and bone break strain of the mechanical properties of a material of the fe-mur compact bone were obviously increased in Group A, D, E and F (P< 0.05). Group C had increasing tendency. There were no statistical differences among Group A, C, D, E and F. Group D, E, and F had increased with EPF dose-dependently. However, there were no statistical differences among them. There were no statistical differences on bone break strain of the mechanical properties of a material of the femur compact bone among Group A, C, D, E, and F. It showed that ovariectomization reduced the biomechanical properties of vertebra bodies, structural dynamics properties of the femur compact bone, and the mechanical properties of a material of the femur compact bone. The application of EPF can effectively prevent and treat the decreasing of biomechanical properties of ovariectomized rats, so as to keep them in a relatively higher level.
