Current risk classification in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphocytic leukemia has been used to modulate the intensity of treatment and prognosis assessment.However there are a significant proportion of relapses and deaths occur among childhood with good risk clinical characteristics and/or an excellent early response to therapy.So research about the aberrant expression of gene associated with relapse will improve cure rate.Aberrant expression of CRLF2 gene can be found in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphocytic leukemia and associated with JAK aberrantion,BCR-ABL1-like signature,IKZF deletion.Over-expression of CRLF2 gene is associated with high risk relapse and poor outcome in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphocytic leukemia,but its prognostic value is still controversial.This article mainly reviews the progress of CRLF2 gene in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphocytic leukemia.

EVI1 gene mainly controls embryo development.3q rearrangement,MLL translocations,monosomy 7,which react with other genes,can lead to EVI1 aberrant expresion or fusion gene.Recent studies have shown aberrant expression of EVI1 gene in parts of acute lymphatic leukemia,acute myeloid leukemia and chronic granulocytic Leukemia and correlation with poor prognosis.Leukemogemc mechanism include epigenetic modifications,transcriptional control,regulation of signaling pathways,upregulation of cell adhesion,proliferation,and colony formation and antiapoptosis.Drugs of genetic therapy include epigenetic agents,mTOR inhibitor,human ITGA6/ITGB4 complex antibody and CD52 monoclonal antibody.

Objective: To make an impersonal evaluation on the effect of TCM on main biochemical indexes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),including ALT,AST,GGT,TC,TG,and HDL-C.Methods: We searched all the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of TCM for NAFLD from CBM, CNKI,and VIP (1999-2008).RevMan4.2 was used in the analysis. Results: 11 RCTs,including 1078 patients,met the inclusion criteria.All of the trials were not adequate in methodological quality. None of them was double-blinded trial.The result of analysis showed that compared with basic Western medicine,TCM could increase the content of HDL-C,reduce the content of ALT,AST,GGT,TC and TG.Conclusion: The present meta-analysis suggested that TCM was beneficial over Western medicine for NAFLD which indexes including ALT,AST,GGT,TC,TG,and HDL-C.But we can not make a final conclusion due to low quality of RCT.

Objective: To investigate the expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-7 between colorectal cancer and normal tissue.Methods: RT-PCR was used to determine the expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-7 in colorectal cancer and normal tissue.Results: The expression rate and level of MMP-2 and MMP-7 were higher in cancerous tissue than that in normal tissue(P

Objective To study the effect of alcohol on apoptosis and apoptosis-associated genes-Bcl-2 and Bax of cardiac muscle cell.Methods We established an animal experimental model by giving different concentration of alcohol to the healthy mice.Myocardial apoptosis and the expression of apoptosis-associated gene Bcl-2 and Bax were quantitatively analysed by the nuclear fast red-crystal violet staining and immunohistochemical method.Results Some nuclears of the experimental groups were stained purple and agglutinated.Counting under the high power microscope,it was found that the amount of abnormal nuclears significantly increased in alcohol-treated groups compared with the control group (P

Objective:To study VEGF-C expression in colon cancer and the relationship of VEGF-C expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis.Methods:VEGF-C expression was examined by immnohistochemical staining in 44 cases of primary colon cancers.To analyze the relation of VEGF-C expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis.Results:Of the 44 cases of colon cancers,19 cases of carcinoma (43.2%) were evaluated to be VEGF-C positive expression and 25 cases of carcinoma (56.8%) were determined to be VEGF-C negative expression.VEGF-C expression was associated with tumor differentiation (P=0.003),nodal status (P=0.002) ,Dukes stage (P=0.001).The median survival time of the patients with positive VEGF-C expression was lower than that of patients with negative VEGF-C expression (P=0.0225).Metastatic status,the nodal status and VEGF-C were found to be significant independent prognostic factors (P=0.021,P=0.0004,P=0.0469,respectively).Conclusion:VEGF-C expression is upregulated in colon cancer.VEGF-C expression plays a important role in nodal metastasis.VEGF-C appears to be a new prognostic factor for the prediction of outcome in patients with colon cancer.

Persister bacteria have the characteristic of phenotypic resistance to the anfimicrobial drugs.The presence of such persister bacteria is considered to be one of the major causes for lengthy therapy and treatment failure.Persister bacteria are a group of special subpopulation of bacteria,and have the characteristics different from the ordinary bacteria and resistant mutants.With the improvement of scientific research and technology in recent years,we get a better understanding of persister bacteria.This paper reviewed the research progress on the characteristics of persister bacteria,formation mechanism,the impact of the clinical treatment and drug development The paper also provided the basis for diagnosis,prevention and treatment of the persister bacteria.

Objective To assess the role of MRI in the preoperative characterization and local staging of testicular neoplasms.Methods A retrospective study of 24 patients suspected of testicular neoplasm was conducted.The histological diagnosis of testicular neoplasms was made and local extension of testicular malignancy was evaluated.The MRI findings were correlated with the pathologic results.Results Histological examination revealed 26 intratesticular lesions,14 of which were nalignant,including 4 cases of diffuse large B cell lymphoma,7 cases of seminoma,2 cases of embryonal carcinoma,one case of teratoma.Twelve lesions were benign,including 5 cases of epidermoid cyst,2 cases of simple cyst,2 cases of inflammatory granuloma,2 cases of testicular mediastinal tubular expansion and one case of testicular pseudo fibroma.Six malignant testicular tumors were confined within the testis,4 invaded the testicular tunicae or epididymis,2 invaded the spermatic cord,and 2 invaded the scrotal wall.The accuracy of MRI in the diagnosis of intratesticular lesions was 92％.The accuracy of MRI diagnosis in the local staging of testicular tunors was 86％.Conclusions MRI is highly accurate in the preoperative characterization and local staging of testicular neoplasms.It is of great significance to the clinical diagnosis and treatment.
