1.Pathogenesis and treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia: current status
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2016;25(8):509-512
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant clonal proliferative disease,which originates from multifunctional hematopoietic stem cells of bone marrow.Imatinib is used as the first-line treatment for CML currently,owing to its obvious curative effect for patients in chronic phase and survival time prolonged significantly for patients in accelerated phase and blast crisis.With the long-term application of imatinib in clinic,the drug resistance and intolerance gradually appear,resulting in decreased long-term effects of CML.This paper will review the current status of the pathogenesis and treatment of CML.

4.Open reduction and internal fixation versus minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis for complicated proximal humeral fractures
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2016;18(7):592-596
Objective To compare open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in the operative treatment of complicated proximal humeral fractures.Methods From January 2014 to October 2015,55 complicated proximal humeral fractures were treated at our department.They were 32 men and 23 women,from 21 to 81 years of age (average,51 years).According to Neer classification,34 cases belonged to three-part fractures and 21 ones to four-part fractures,14 of which were complicated with dislocation.Of them,35 received ORIF and 20 underwent MIPPO.The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time,intraoperative blood loss,incision length and Neer scoring of the shoulder function at the final follow-ups.The 2 groups were compatible without significant differences in preoperative demographic data (P > 0.05).Results The 55 patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months(mean,9 months).The operation time (100.5 ± 10.2 min),intraoperative blood loss (80.0 ± 10.5 mL),and incision length (7.5 ± 3.2 cm) in the MIPPO group were significantly better than those in the ORIF group (120.0±10.1 min,200.5±10.2mL,and10.5±5.3cm,respectively) (P <0.05).According to the Neer scoring of the shoulder function at the final follow-ups,the good to excellent rate was 71.4% (25/35) in the ORIF group and 85.0% (17/20) in the MIPPO group,showing a significant difference (P < O.05).The incidence of humeral head necrosis was 15 in the ORIF group,significantly higher than that (3) in the MIPPO group (P < 0.05).Conclusion In treatment of complex proximal humeral fractures,compared with ORIF,MIPPO may lead to less damage to local blood supply,less trauma,and quicker functional recovery due to early functional exercise.

International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;38(7):629-632
Objective To investigate the protective effects of ursolic acid (UA) on global cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury in rats.MethodsThe experimental rats were divided into the sham operation group, the model group, the UA low, medium and high dose groups, 20 in each group. Except the rats in the sham operation group, the rats in other groups were dealed by four arteries occlusion to made global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model. The rats in the UA low, medium, high dose groups were given UA as 40, 80, 120 mg/kg immediately after the occlusion line was inserted; the rats in the sham operation group and the model group were given equal-volume saline. And 6 hours later, the recovery time of righting reflex and electrical activity of brain were recorded, water content of the brain were evaluated, and the activity of LDH, MDA, SOD, CAT in brain tissue were determined; the inflammatory cytokines content of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 were determined by ELISA. Results Compared with the model group, the recovery time of righting reflex (20.6 ± 7.2 min, 18.2 ± 6.9 min vs. 27.3 ± 8.8 min) and electrical activity of brain (16.2 ± 5.8 min, 14.9 ± 5.6 min vs.24.1 ± 7.2 min) of the UA medium and high dose groups were shortened (P<0.05 orP<0.01); the water content were significantly decreased (79.0% ± 0.7%, 78.6% ± 0.5%vs. 80.7% ± 0.9%;P<0.05 orP<0.01); the activity of SOD (158.5 ± 8.4 U/mg, 165.4 ± 9.0 U/mgvs. 143.0 ± 7.1 U/mg), CAT (3.3 ± 1.4 U/mg, 3.9 ± 1.5 U/mgvs. 2.4 ± 0.9 U/mg) in brain tissue of the UA medium and the high dose groups were significantly improved; the content of LDH (16.0 ± 2.6 mmol/g, 18.4 ± 2.8 mmol/gvs. 12.4 ± 1.9 mmol/g) were significantly increased; the content of MDA (18.6 ± 2.8μmol/g, 17.2 ± 2.4μmol/gvs. 24.9 ± 3.4μmol/g), TNF-α (45.8 ± 6.3 nmol/L, 40.1 ± 5.6 nmol/Lvs. 56.3 ± 7.2 nmol/L), IL-6 (187.2 ± 18.5 nmol/L, 136.8 ± 15.7 nmol/Lvs. 238.4 ± 22.9 nmol/L) were significantly decreased, and the content of IL-1β in UA 120 mg/kg treated group was significantly decreased (713.6 ± 56.3 nmol/L vs. 915.7 ± 70.5 nmol/L;P<0.05 orP<0.01).Conclusion UA can effectively promote righting reflex and EEG recovery, reduce brain water content, which perhaps related with its pharmacological effects of enhanceing the activity of antioxidant enzymes, lower oxidative stress, and inhibit inflammation.

International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;(2):141-144
Objective To investigate the effects of ursolic acid (UA) on oxidative stress and apoptosis in focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats. Methods One hundred and twenty SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:sham operation group, model group, and groups of 20, 40, 80 120 mg/kg UA, with 20 rats in each group. A model of focal cerebral ischemic reperfusion was induced using the intraluminal thread method. Drugs were administrated immediately via tail vein injection when the suture was inserted. At 6h later, the total antioxidative capacity (T-AOC), malondialdehyde (MDA) level, and the activity of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the serum, and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the ischemic cortex were measured. Apoptosis in the ischemic cortex was detected by TUNEL staining. Results Compared with the model group, the activity of CK (301.2 ± 86.8 U/L, 258.5 ± 58.4 U/L, 228.7 ± 49.2 U/L vs. 352.6 ± 88.1 U/L), LDH (327.5 ± 87.1 U/L, 288.6 ± 69.5 U/L, 243.7 ± 74.9 U/L vs. 395.4 ± 98.6 U/L) in the serum in the groups of 40, 80 120 mg/kg UA were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), MDA (5.5 ± 1.4 mmol/L, 4.8 ± 1.1 mmol/L, 4.4 ± 1.3 mmol/L vs. 7.8 ± 2.0 mmol/L) and T-AOC (9.4 ± 2.2 U/L, 10.5 ± 2.9 U/L, 11.8 ± 3.1 U/L vs. 8.0 ± 2.1 U/L) were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the activity of SOD (10.1 ± 2.7 U/mg, 11.6 ± 2.5 U/mg vs. 6.9 ± 2.6 U/mg),GSH-Px (12.9 ± 2.9 U/mg, 14.2 ± 3.2 U/mg vs. 9.5 ± 2.3 U/mg), CAT (3.3 ± 1.3 U/mg, 3.9 ± 1.2 U/mg vs. 2.3 ± 0.9 U/mg) in the ischemic cortex in the groups of 80 120 mg/kg UA were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). TUNEL staining showed that apoptosis in the ischemic cortex in all the UA groups were significantly decreased compared with the model group. Conclusion UA could effectively enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes and free radical scavenging capacity, ameliorate oxidative stress and inhibit apoptosis in focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats.
