Objective To observe the efficacy of imatinib on the treatment of bcr-abl positive essential thrombocythemia (ET). Methods A case of bcr-abl positive ET resistant to hydroxyurea (HU) treating with imatinib (200～400 mg/d) was reported and related literatures were reviewed. Results A case of bcr-abl positive ET was initially treated with 1.5～2.0 g/d HU, the platelet count decreased to 562x109/L after 4 weeks; however, the platelet count increased to (1020～1330)×109/L treating with same dose of HU 16 months later. With the elevation of HU to 3.0 g/d, platelet count was still high(1290～1780)x109/L companied with the very low white blood cell count(0.3～0.9)×109/L. While treating with imatinib (400 mg/d) for 1 month,the platelet count decreased to 390×109/L and white blood cell count was 0.5×109/L; Furthermore, treating with 200×300 mg/d of imatinib, the platelet and white blood cell count recovered in normal after 1 month,and bcr-abl fusion gene negative 2 months later. Conclusion Imatinib may be the effective targeting drug for the bcr-abl positive ET, and the bcr-abl positive ET is sensitive to low dose imatinib.

Objective : To establish a microwave-assisted digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with an octopole reaction system for simultaneous determination of six heavy metals in peanuts, including Cr, Ni, As, Cd, Pb, Hg. Methods : Peanut samples were shelled and crushed evenly, and 0.350 0 g was accurately weighed and digested with 5 mL nitric acid and 1 mL hydrogen peroxide in a digestion tank. Following microwave-assisted digestion, pure water was used to quantify the samples, and internal standards and an octopole reaction system were used to remove the interference. Then, the contents of six heavy metals were determined in peanuts by ICP-MS. The accuracy and precision of ICP-MS were evaluated using national criteria ( GBW 10013 and GBW 10044 ) and spike-and-recovery testing. Results : The six heavy metals showed good linearity at the selected linear range ( r≥0.999 8 ). The detection limits of ICP-MS ranged from 0.001 4 to 0.023 8 ng/mL, and the spike-and-recovery rates ranged from 94.7% to 98.8%, with the relative standard deviations ranging from 0.7% to 3.6%. In addition, the determination results of the standard reference materials were all within the normal reference range. The detection of six heavy metals was 100.0% in 60 peanut samples, and the contents of six heavy metals were all low. Conclusion The established ICP-MS assay is feasible for simultaneous determination of multiple heavy metals in peanuts.

Objective To investigate the change of ATM phosphorylation in HepG2 cells following a condnuous low dose-rate irradiation.Methods Cells were pemistendy exposed to low dose-rate(8.28 cGy/h) irradiation.Indirect immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to detect the expression of ATM phosphorylated proteins.Colony forming assay Was used to observe the effect of a low dose-rate irradiation on HepG2 cell survival.Results After 30 min of low dose-rate irradiation.the phosphorylation of ATM occurred.After 6 h persistent irradiation,the expression of ATM phosphorylated protein reached the peak value,then gradually decreased.After ATM phosphorylation was inhibited with Wortmannin,the surviving fraction of HepG2 cells was lower than that of the irradiation alone group at each time point(P<0.05).Conclusions Continuous low dose-rate irradiation attenuated ATM phosphorylation.suggesting that continuous low dose-rate irradiation has a potential effect for increasing the radiosensitivity of HepG2 cells.

Objective To evaluate the effect of MRI in reflecting the pathological changes of VX2 carcinoma in rabbits after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) . Methods RFA was performed in the livers of 24 rabbits with planted VX2 carcinoma. The rabbits were divided into 4 groups. After RFA, the rabbits were killed after MR imaging on 0, 1, 2, and 4 weeks, respectively. The correlation between MRI and pathological findings was analyzed. Results In the acute phase, coagulative necrosis of the ablated tumors and inflammatory reaction with hyperemia around were detected at microscopic examination. The ablated tumor showed as hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI, while rim of high signal intensity on T1WI and low signal intensity on T2WI was found. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI showed a thin high signal rim surrounding the central coagulative necrosis. In the subacute phase, extensive coagulative necrosis and marked infiltration by neutrophils, lymphocytes, macrophages and a peripheral fibrous generation rim were observed microscopically on the ablated tumor. The ablated tumor showed iso-or hyperintensity on T1WI and hypointensity on T2WI, while the periphery of ablated lesions was hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI. There was prominent rim enhancement along the ablated margin. In the chronic phase, peripheral fibrous rim became obvious, more regular and thicker than at subacute phase as hypointensity on T1WI and T2WI, and unenhancement was observed. Residual or recurrence of tumor was found in 17 rabbits as hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on T2WI, and irregular, thicker rim or nodular enhancing abnormalities. Conclusion MRI can effectively show the histopathological tissue changes of rabbit VX2 carcinoma after ablation and demonstrate the residual or recurrence of tumor.
