Objective:Previous genome-wide microarray analysis found TTCATTCT motif(DNA binding site of Runx1)in the RPL4 promoter of childhood leukemia cells,suggesting that Runx1 may regulate the expression of RPL4.This study is to investigate the relationship between Runx1 and RPL4 so as to better understand the effects of Runx1 on RPL4gene transcription,laying a foundation for further studying leukemogenesis of childhood leukemia.Methods:The luciferase plasmids containing RPL4 promoter and its mutant were constructed and were co-transfected into 293T cells with the expression plasmid of Runx1.The transactivity of RPL4 promoter was assayed by luminometer.Results:Runx1 significantly decreased the transcriptional activity of RPL4 promoter(P0.05).Conclusion:Runx1 can inhibit RPL4 gene transcription in a dose-dependent manner through binding to the TTCATTCT motif.

Objective To evaluate the surgical effect for congenital nystagmus (CN) with an abnormal head position in all three axes of a predominant head turn. Design Retrospective case series. Participants 11 patients with horizontal nystagmus and abnormal head position treated in Xingtai Eye Hospital during 2003-2008. All had an abnormal head position in all three axes with a predomi-nant head turn. Methods Recession of the yoke muscles responsible for the slow phase of nystagmus (one medial rectus of 6mm, and one lateral rectus 8 mm), and simultaneously resection of the yoke muscles responsible for the fast phase of nystagmus (the other lateral rectus 9 mm, and medial rectus 7 mm) were performed. The follow-up was from 6 to 20 months. Main Outcome Measures The visual acuity of both eyes in primary position, the degree of head turn, chin elevation or depression, head tilt. Results At the last follow-up, the all 11 patients undergoing the operation for CN gained two or more lines of Snellen acuity with both eyes in primary position for be-ing corrected best. The postoperative mixed head position of 9 cases got disappear or ≤ 10°. Of 1 case developed overcorrection of the head turn. 1 case has the head turn of ≤15°, and 1 case remained the head turn of 25°. Conclusion Recessions and resections of the horizontal yoke rectus muscles in nystagmus with blockage position, when the head turn predominates over the vertical and torsional components, are effective in diminishing the abnormal head position on all three axes, and improve the visual acuity with both eyes in primary position.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of levodopa combined with comprehensive therapy for ametropic amblyopia children and teenagers and its effeets on pattern visual evoked potential(P-VEP)and visual function. METHODS:70 pa-tients(80 eyes)with ametropic amblyopia were randomly divided into observation group(35 cases,40 eyes)and control group(35 cases,38 eyes). Control group received comprehensive therapy as wearing correctional glasses,occlusion therapy and visual stimu-lation training;observation group additionally received levodopa 0.125(d1-3)-0.25 g/time,bid,on the basis of control group for 6 months. Therapeutic efficacy,P-VEP,Visual sensitivity and visual function were compared between two groups,and the occur-rence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The effective rate of observation group(92.50%)was significantly higher than that of con-trol group(76.32%),with statistical significance(P<0.05);the wave amplitude of P-VEP P100 in observation group were signifi-cantly greater than in control group,and the incubation period was significantly shorter than control group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);visual acuity under different spatial frequency contrast were significantly higher than control group,and correc-tion convergence range and correction separation range of observation group were significantly greater than those of control group, while corrected near stereo vision was significantly less than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in ADR incidence between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Levodopa combined with comprehensive therapy can improve the function of visual central neurons,and improve visual acuity and binocular stereo vision functions so as to improve therapy efficacy.

In this paper the method of TQC was used to analyze various factors that effect drug quality in hospital pharmacy. In order to raise clinic safety and use drugs reasonably and effectively, the corresponding tactics were taken for the related problems that influence drug quality. Thus, scientific management of drugs, improvement of preparation quality, decrease of consume, and increasing income and sparing expenses were attained.

Objective To assess the toxicity risks of diphenylchlorarsine (DA) to environments, human beings and livestock. Methods Totally 120 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups and given DA by gastric gavage at the doses of 32, 30, 28, 26, 24, 22 mg/kg respectively for LD_(50) of DA in mice. The toxicity of DA in rat skin were evaluated by smearing 50 ?l DA at the concentrations of 140, 70, 35, 17.5, and 8.8 mg/ml to an area of 4 cm2, and that of eyes exposure was carried out by dropping 10 ?l DA of 140.7, 70, 7, 0.7 mg/ml in rat eyes. The counterpart skin area and eyes served as control. Results LD_(50) of DA in mice was 28.07 mg/kg, the estimated doses for no-observed-adverse-effect levels (NOELs) were 8.8 mg/ml (0.44 mg) to the skin and 0.7 mg/ml (0.014 mg) to the eyes respectively. Conclusion DA can induce the injuries on the liver, kidneys, esophagus and stomach. High concentration of DA can cause inflammation of the skin and lens opacification, even blind.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of autologous cryopreserved platelet transfusion in the management of thrombocytopenia after chemotherapy in hematological malignancy.Methods A total of 40 patients diagnosed as hematological malignancy with complete remission were equally assigned into study group and control group.During chemotherapy interval in the study group,when platelet counts exceeded 120 × 109/L,autologous platelets were collected with CS3000 Cell Separator and cryopreserved at-80℃ with 5％ dimethylsulfoxide.When platelet counts dropped below 15 × 109/L after chemotherapy,autologous platelets were thawed with 40℃ water bath and transfused back to each patient.In the control group,when platelet counts dropped below 15 × 109/L after chemotherapy,allogeneic fresh platelets were transfused.Median loss during the freeze-thaw-wash procedure in study group was observed,and the 1 h,24 h corrected count increments(CCI)were calculated in the both groups.The hemostatic effects and adverse reactions were also observed.Results In the control group,1hCCI and 24hCCI were (19.3 ±6.1)× 109/L and(12.2 ± 7.0)× 109/L,respectively,with the effective rate of 80％ and the transfusion reaction rate of 45％.Totally 20 collection and transfusions were finished in the study group.A total of(3.4-8.5)× 1011 platelet were obtained in each collection.Platelet recovery after freezing and thawing was(73.51 ±9.03)％(62％-83％).1hCCI was(17.4±7.6)× 109/L,24h CCI was(10.5 ±5.8)× 109/L and the effective rate was 85％.There was no significant different between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The transfusion reaction rate was 15 ％,which was significantly lower than that of the control group(P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,adverse reactions were occurred less in the study group.Conclusion This study demonstrates that autologous cryopreserved platelet transfusions can be safely administered for supporting thrombocytopenia in hematological malignancy patients undergoing chemotherapy.

AIM: To observe the effects of sera containing Kang xian ling (a traditional Chinese medicine) on c-Met and its downstream MAPK signal molecules in HK-2 cells treated with transforming growth factor-β_1(TGF-β_1), so as to further explore the effective mechanism of anti-renal fibrosis of the traditional Chinese medicine. METHODS: Rat sera containing herbs were collected after rats were intragastrically administered with the herbs. HK-2 cells activated by TGF-β_1 were incubated with different heat-inactivated sera. The proliferation and expression of MAPK and the phosphorylation of MAPK in HK-2 cells were detected by Alarm blue and immunoblotting. RESULTS: No significant difference of cell proliferation between any two groups was observed. C-Met and the phosphorylation of its downstream molecules were also observed after incubated with different sera. CONCLUSION: The receptor c-Met of hepatocyte growth factor, and the phosphorylation of its downstream MAPK molecules can be regulated by the sera containing Kang xian ling.
