Objective To explore the relationship between cytogenetics with therapy and prognosis in myelodysplastic syndrome.Methods 124 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome from September 2005 to October 2009 were reviewed.124 cases contained 79 males and 45 females,aged 14 to 79 years,median age was 57 years old.26 cases were diagnosed as RA,13 cases as RAS,21 cases as RCMD,29 cases as RAEB-Ⅰ,35 cases as RAEB-Ⅱ.According to the karyotype,124 cases were divided into two groups,79 cases of normal karyotype and 45 cases of abnormal karyotype.Patients were followed up for three years in order to analyze the incidence of myelodysplastic syndrome changed into acute leukemia.Results In 39 patients diagnosed as RA and RAS,32 cases were with normal karyotype and 7 cases (17.9 ％) with abnormal karyotype.15 of 32 cases with normal karyotype achieved hematologic remission after treatment while only 1 of 7 cases with abnormal karyotype achieved remission.1 case with abnormal karyotype changed into acute leukemia after 2 years.In 85 patients diagnosed as RCMD,RAEB-Ⅰ and RAEB-Ⅱ.Difference of the lower incidences of RA and RAS changed into acute leukaemia during 3 years in normal karyotype and abnormal karyotype groups was statistically insignificant (P ＜ 0.05).The incidences of RCMD,RAEB-Ⅰ and RAEB-Ⅱ changed into acute leukemia were higher,especially in the abnormal karyotype group with 42.1 ％.Conclusion Myelodysplastic syndromea with abnormal karyotype is associated with poorer efficacy of therapy,higher incidence of changing into acute leukaemia.The patients can take early allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to improve the prognosis.

AIM: To explore the expression changes of bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) and its receptors (BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2, ALK-3, ALK-6) in the renal tubulo-interstitial lesions induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). METHODS: Rats were divided into normal control, sham operation and UUO groups, and sacrificed at postoperative day 1, 3, 7 and 14. The mRNA levels of BMP-7, BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2, ALK-3 and ALK-6 were examined by RT-PCR. The protein expression site and level of BMP-7 was detected by immunohistochemistry staining. RESULTS: Compared to sham operation group, the mRNA levels of BMP-7, BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2 and ALK-3 were significantly decreased, but the change of ALK-6 mRNA was not marked in UUO rats. The reduction of mRNA expression levels of BMP-7, BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2 and ALK-3 in the kidney tissue aggravated along with the delayed post-operated days. The results of immunohistochemistry staining indicated that BMP-7 mainly expressed in renal tubular and interstitial, rarely in glomeruli. In UUO rats, the protein expression of BMP-7 decreased in varying degrees according to the post-operated days. CONCLUSION: The loss of BMP-7 and its receptors (BMPR-Ⅱ, ALK-2, ALK-3) were observed in the early phase of fibrotic process and this may play a very important role in mediating the renal tubulointerstital fibrosis.

Objective To evaluate the impact of 1125 seeds para-tracheal braehytherapy on regional tissue injury in rab-bit models. Methods 42 rabbits were randomized into 7 groups. Group 1 to 6 belong to study groups (in which 1,4,5 and 6 belong to "dose gradient" subgroup, while 2,3 and 4 to "chronologic" subgroup) , while the last group acts as negative con-trol. The activity of seeds in study group were 0.3 mCi in group 1, 0.5 mCi in group 2 to 5, 0.7 mCi in group 5, and 0.9mCi in group 6. False seeds (0 mCi) were used for the negative control. 4 seeds with equal dosage were implanted between trachea and esophagus in each rabbit under general anesthesia. Seeds arrangement was made according to Paris principle. For the tissue injury evaluation, group 2 was sacrificed by the end of first month post-operatively, group 3 at the end of the second month, and group 4 end of the third month. The rest of rabbits were also sacrificed at the end of the third month. Pieces of adjacent e-sophagus and trachea were sampled from each rabbit. Tissue injury features such as inflammation, edema, congestion or fibrosis as evaluated histologically. Results All rabbits were healthy during study period except 5. Histological analysis revealed that trachea samples from all groups had lymphocytas and plasma cells infiltration as signs of chronic inflammation, hut fibrosis was nut clearly visible. There were no differences between study and control groups with respect to inflammation, edema and con-gestion scores. But in groups which received the highest doses of radiation or sacrificed at 60 d showed more eosinophil infiltra-tion and epithelum degeneration, and statistical significance was reached between these groups and control. Esophageal samples had less histological changes compared with trachea. Conclusion Para-tracheal implantation of ~(125)Ⅰ seeds with therapeutic or higher dosage only induce minor and reversible damage to the regional tissue. This implies that ~(125)Ⅰ implants adjacent to trachea or esophagus are clinically safe.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Naomaitong Recipe, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on the expressions of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and nitric-oxide synthases (NOSs) in brain tissue after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in aged rats and the dosage-effect relationship. METHODS: We adopted the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in aged rats as the focal cerebral ischemia model, with 3-hour ischemia and 12-day reperfusion, and observed the changes of the nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution and the expressions of NF-kappaB, heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) and NOSs in cerebral cortex. RESULTS: The nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution, the expressions of NF-kappaB, HSP70, neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS), endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) and inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) in the untreated group were higher than those of the sham-operated group. The nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution, the expressions of NF-kappaB, iNOS and nNOS were lower, while the expressions of HSP70 and eNOS were higher in the high-, medium- and low-dose Naomaitong-treated groups and nimodipine-treated group than those of the untreated-group. The nerve dysfunction score and the expression of nNOS were lower, while the expression of eNOS was higher in the medium-dose Naomaitong-treated group than those of the nimodipine-treated group. The expressions of HSP70 and eNOS were higher, while the other indices were lower in the medium-dose Naomaitong-treated group than those of the low-dose Naomaitong-treated group. CONCLUSION: Naomaitong Recipe can protect the brain cells from damage after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury by adjusting the expressions of NF-kappaB, HSP70 and NOSs, and the medium-dose Naomaitong Recipe is more effective.

The Syndrome of yin -deficiency was made by thyroid hormone with reserpine in Kunming mice. Oyster complete nutritional tablet was used to treat the syndrome of yin -deficiency in mice. The results showed that a series of syndrome of the yin -deficiency were improved and animal mortality was cut down patently. The degree of histopathologic damage in cells of liver,kidney,spleen,intestine was reduced and histochemical observation suggested that the contents of RNA and glycogen in liver cell were raised significantly. Abnormal activity of enzyme was improved. The tablet showed a benefit effects on protecting liver, kidney,spleen and intestine to a certain extent.

Objective Onto investigate the significance of the pleth variability index (PVI) in predicting hypotension after epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Methods Sixity seven pregnant women, with ASAⅠ~Ⅱ, aged 19 ~ 34 years, were enrolled for elective cesarean delivery. SBP, BDP, MAP, HR, PI and PVI were measured at 5 min after the parturients arrived in the operation room. SBP, BDP, MAP and HR were measured every 3 min after epidural anesthesia. According to the change rate of SDP or MAP was higher than 30% or not, the parturients were divided into two groups (the hypotension group and the non-hypotension group). Results No significant differences were found in parturients'age, body height, weight, BMI, gestational weeks, SDP, DBP, MAP and HR before anesthesia between two groups. The PVI in the hypotension group was significantly higher than that in the non-hypotension group (P<0.05). A receiver operator characteristic curve analysis showed the area under curve was 0.888 when PVI was used for boundary value. When PVI over 17.35 was used as the occurrence of hypotension, the sensitivity of PVI was 0.727, and specificity was 0.895. Conclusion PVI can be used to predict the occurrence of hypotension after epidural anesthesia for cesarean delivery.
