Diminished apoptosis,due to overexpression of antiapoptotic proteins, is involved in tumorigenesis and chemoresistance. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) has been used to inhibit the expression of antiapoptotic proteins(f.g bcl 2, bcl x L , survivin),aimed to induce apoptosis or enhance chemosensitivity.The combination of ASODN with conventional treatment is possibly a reasonable approach in furture cancer therapy.

Objective To study the effects of costimulatory blockade with anti-inducible costim- ulator antibody(ICOS mAb)in combination with CTLA4Ig on prevention of islet allograft rejection. Methods Experimental animals were randomly divided into 4 groups(10 rats in each group).CT- LA4Ig + ICOS mAb group(group A):intraperitoneal injection of CTLA4Ig on day 0,2,4 and ICOS mAb on day 1,3,5 after islet transplantation;ICOSmAb group(group B):intraperitoneal injection of ICOS mAb on day 1,3,5 after islet transplantation;CTLA4Ig group(group C):intraperitoneal injection of CTLA4Ig on day 0,2,4 after islet transplantation;control group(group D):simple islet transplantation.The islet allograft survival and pathological changes in the transplanted islets after transplantation were observed.By using RT-PCR,the expression of IL-2 and IL-10 mRNA in the transplanted islets was detected.The expression of CD4~+ and CD8~+ T cell was detected by flow cy- tometry.Results In group A,the survival time was obviously prolonged as compared with other three groups and the transplanted islets were near normal under a light microscope.As compared with other three groups,the expression of IL-2 mRNA was significantly decreased in group A(P0.05).The expression of CD4~+ and CD8~+ T cell was not obviously up-regulated on the day 21 after transplantation.Conclusion The blockade of costimulatory signals with ICOS mAb in combination with CTLA4Ig has a favorable effects to restrain the rejection of islet transplantation.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of hereditary spastic paraplegia with thin corpus callosum(HSP TCC).Methods Clinical data of 4 patients with HSP TCC were analysed retrospectively.Results 4 patients were at the onset during youngsters,they revealed mental impairment,walk of spasticity,spasticity of the lower extremities,slowly progressive weakness and hyperreflexia, extensor plantar responses and morbid indication for positive. Sensory impairment was not observed. 2 cases showed ataxia and sphincter disturbance;1 case showed upper limb spasticity and muscular atrophy. Cranial MRI revealed an extremely thin corpus callosum on sagittal image.Conclusion Main clinical characterizations of HSP TCC were slowly progressive spastic paraparesis, mental impairment during youngsters, cranial MRI showed extremely thin corpus callosum.

Objectiye To explore the expression of COX-2 and VEGF and its clinical significance in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Methods The expression of COX-2 and VEGF were detected by immunohistochemistry in 42 cases of NHL and 20 cases of lymph node with benign pathological change. Results The positive rate of COX-2 and VEGF was 45.24% and 73.81% in NHL respectively. The expression rate of VEGF was positively correlated with that of COX-2 in tissues of NHL ( x2 = 4. 63, P ＜ 0. 05).The expression of COX-2 was related to clinical stage and histopathologic grade of NHL ( x2 = 5.43, P ＜0. 05), but it had no association with gender, age, B symptoms, and IPI. The expression of VEGF was significantly related with aggression, B symptoms and IPI ( x2 =8. 979, 8. 893,6. 434, P ＜0. 05), but it had no association with age, gender and clinical stages. Conclusion COX-2 and VEGF may be involved in NHL tumorgenesis, and COX-2 may accelerate angiogenesis by increasing VEGF expression. Specific COX-2 inhibitors may be a novel therapeutic approach for NHL.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of Beh(c)et's disease (BD) associated with thrombosis.Methods Medical records at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 1993 to 2012 were reviewed to identify patients who were diagnosed as BD associated with thrombosis.Comparisons between groups were tested by t-test and x2 test.Results Seventy-six BD patients developed thrombosis which accounted for 11.5％ of 659 BD patients hospitalized during the same period.Among these 76 patients,64 were male,12 were female.The average age was (34±10) years old (range 16-66 years).The most common site of thrombosis was extremity veins (87％) including deep vein thrombosis (n=65) and superficial thrombophlebitis (n=3).The thrombosis associated with BD in a descending frequency of order was pulmonary thromboem-bolism (16 cases,21％),Venae Cavae (15 cases,20％),cerebral venous sinus (10 cases,13％),intracardiac thrombus (7 cases,9 ％),renal veins (3 cases,4％),and superior mesenteric vein (2 cases,3％).Only four patients with single site thrombosis,all the others had two or more sites of thrombosis.Extremity vein thrombosis showed a male preponderance,while cerebral venous sinus thrombosis had a female preponderance.BD patients always exhibited active disease during emergence of thrombotic events.Conclusion The incidence of thrombosis in BD patients is high and tends to occur in patients with active disease.More attention should be paid to these patients.

Objective To understand the knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP) status and relative demand to combined oral contraceptives (COCs) in medical staffs of obstetric and gynecological department in Tianjin, providing reference basis for the effective intervention measures. Methods By using random, stratified and clustered sampling approach, we selected 382 medical staffs of obstetric and gynecological department in Tianjin. A self-administered Questionnaire on COCs KAP was employed to survey the general characteristics, awareness of COCs knowledge, attitudes to COCs, service capabilities of contraceptive counseling, prescribing behavior and request of continuing education. Results The respondents showed de?fects in COCs indications, non-contraceptive benefits, relationship with cancer and birth defects. The average knowledge score was higher in doctors than that of nurses. The higher the titles and qualifications, the higher the knowledge score. A to?tal of 90.11%of respondents believed that strengthening the contraceptive guidance can help to reduce pregnancy. Strength?ening the interpretation of misunderstanding (81.04%) and enhancing the treatment and follow-up of adverse reactions (62.09%) can help to reduce stop taking. Only 25.82%of respondents could provide detailed COCs relative consulting servic?es;42.96%of obstetricians and gynecologists refused prescribing COCs for women over the age of 40 for the purpose of con?traception. A total of 93.13%medical personnel showed demand on relative training. Conclusion It’s necessary to perform continuing education to medical staffs via different intervention, so as to improve their cognitive level to COCs, ameliorate COCs relative attitudes and behavior, and help them providing better service to women of childbearing age.

OBJECTIVE To study effective and convenient method for paraffin oil sterilization.METHODS By using carrier qualitative germicidal test,to compare pressure steam sterilization,dry heat sterilization and cobalt-60(gamma)-ray radiation sterilization to test the sterilizing effect and operating procedure.RESULTS Pressure steam sterilization was unable to achieve 100% sterilizing effect,whether we extended the time or use the intermittent(sterilization).After dry heat or radiation sterilization processes,no microorganism was found.CONCLUSIONS Effect of sterilization with dry heat or radiation sterilization is trustable,but its packing,operation and equipment are requested strictly,and pressure steam sterilization may be not good for paraffin oil.
