Objective To study the expression of BMI-l gene in children with acute leukemia and its clinical significance.Methods The clinical specimens of 46 children with acute leukemia who were diagnosed lately in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and other hospitals in Zhengzhou from Jul.1,2008 to Apr.30,2009 were collected,while peripheral blood specimens of 30 healthy children were collected as control group.With the guardians′ informed consent,the experiment was approved through the hospital ethics committee.The level of BMI-1 mRNA′s expression was tested using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR),while data were analyzed through the application of SPSS 12.0 statistical software.Results 1.The level of BMI-l gene′s expression in children with acute leukemia was significantly higher than that in control group(P0.05),after complete remission,BMI-1 mRNA was not detected in the 2 groups;4.Compared with the complete remission group,expression of BMI-1 mRNA in the untreated group and the recurrence group was significantly higher(P0.05).Conclusions BMI-1 gene was highly expressed in children with acute leukemia,and the level of the gene expression in patients of complete remission normalized,which suggests that the gene may be involved in the occurrence and the development process of leukemia;therefore,it is possible to regard the gene as a molecular marker to evaluate the development,relapse and prognosis of the patients with acute leukemia.

Objective To investigate the effects of fracture displacement and operation method on perioperative blood loss of femoral neck fractures. Methods From December 2013 to October 2014, 130 cases (58 males and 72 females, aged from 18 to 91 years, with an average age of 71.1±12.9 years) with femoral neck fractures were retrospectively analyzed for the periopera?tive blood loss. The degree of displacement was described according to Garden's grades. According to the degree of fracture dis?placement, the patients were divided into two groups:GardenⅠ-Ⅱgroup and Garden Ⅲ-Ⅳgroup, and patients' preoperative hidden blood loss was compared between two groups. According to the degree of fracture displacement and the method of opera?tion, the patients were divided into four groups:Group 1 indicates the group in which patients received cannulated screws fixation for Garden gradeⅠ-Ⅱ;Group 2 in which patients received hemiarthroplasty for Garden gradeⅠ-Ⅱ;Group 3 in which patients received cannulated screws fixation for Garden grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ; Group 4 in which patients received hemiarthroplasty for Garden grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ; and variation in the following four parameters was analyzed: the dominant blood loss, postoperative hidden blood loss, total hidden blood loss, total blood loss in the four different groups. Results For the Garden gradeⅢ-Ⅳfemoral neck frac?ture group, the preoperative hidden blood loss was significantly higher than that of the Garden gradeⅠ-Ⅱfemoral neck fracture group (t=2.267, P=0.001). The dominant blood loss volume, postoperative hidden blood loss volume, total hidden blood loss vol?ume and total blood loss volume of hemiarthroplasty groups (402.1 ± 36.8 ml, 641.3 ± 53.2 ml, 880.7 ± 61.7 ml, 1 246.1 ± 76.7 ml) were higher than those of the cannulated screws fixation group (45.8±34.9 ml, 301.9±50.6 ml, 436.6±58.6 ml, 478.5±72.9 ml). Conclusion The perioperative hidden blood loss is mainly related with the degree of fracture displacement, the greater the de?gree of fracture displacement, the more the preoperative hidden blood loss. While the dominant blood loss volume, postoperative hidden blood loss volume, total hidden blood loss volume and total blood loss volume are mainly related to the method of operation, the blood loss in which patients received hemiarthroplasty should be increased significantly.

?AlM: To evaluate the long - term effects of laser peripheral iridectomy ( LPl ) and trabeculectomy in treating early chronic angle-closure glaucoma.
?METHODS: Ninety-eight patients (102 eyes) with early chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma were randomly divided into two groups. Group A of 50 patients (54 eyes) was treated with LPl and group B of 48 patients (48 eyes) with trabeculectomy. After 3 - 8y of follow - up observation, comparison would be made from the perspectives of postoperative eyesight, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle, visual field and cup/disc ratio ( C/D) .
?RESULTS:ln group A, 24 eyes with eyesight declining, 22 eyes with theintraocular pressure>21mmHg (1mmHg=0. 133kPa), 21 eyes with chamber angle synechia >180o, 21 eyes with visual field narrowed, 21 eyes with C/D ratio enlarged. The results of group B for the same items were 10, 5, 4, 4, 4 eyes respectively. The comparative difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON:Good effects will be achieved for early-stage chronic angle - closure glaucoma with surgical method. Trabeculectomy is obviously better than LPl for the long-term effects.

Medical science is a practical subject.Before entering the clinical practice,medical students should promote clinical-practice ability by using medical models and reviewing photograph recordings,and then take short reinforcement training by suing standardized patient in order to esteem the patients' rights.

Objective: To investigate the compliance of smoking cessation and the effect of smoking status on long-term clinical prognosis in male patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) after drug-eluting stent (DES) therapy. Methods: A total of 656 ACS patients after DES therapy were studied, according to the post-operative smoking status, the patients were divided into 3 groups: Non-smoking group,n=226, Quit smoking group,n=283 and Persistent smoking group, n=147. The patients were followed-up for the average of 27 months, the major adverse cardio-/cerebral-vascular events (MACCE) were recorded in detail, and the effect of smoking status for MACCE occurrence were evaluated by multivariable Cox regression analysis. Results: The pre-operative smoking rate was 65.5% (430/656) of patients and post-operative smoking rate was 22.4% (147/656). Compared with Non-smoking group and Quit smoking group, the patients in Persistent smoking group had the younger age (P<0.001), more patients with abnormal blood lipids (P=0.005) and having lower level of education (P<0.001). The all cause death rates in Non-smoking group, Quit smoking group and Persistent smoking group were at 1.8%, 1.1% and 6.1% respectively,P=0.004; the MACCE occurrence rates were at 7.1%, 5.3% and 15.0% respectively,P=0.002. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that post-operative smoking was the independent risk factor for MACCE occurrence, HR =1.404, 95% CI (1.206-1.793),P=0.008. Conclusion: Smoking is the independent risk factor for MACCE occurrence in male ACS patients after DES therapy.

Objective To evaluate the functional and oncological outcomes of patients with locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa) treated by hormone therapy combined with extra-fascia1 laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) plus extended lymph node dissection (ePLND).Methods From January 2004 to June 2016,a total of 255 PCa cases (pT3-4NxM0) who received LRP plus ePLND were enrolled into our study.The mean age of the patients was 67 (range 44-88) years,and median PSA level was 21.2 (range 0.6-454.0) ng/ml.The patients were divided into earlier group (from January 2004 to December 2011,160 cases) and later group (from January 2012 to June 2016,95 cases) according to different treatment periods.The baseline demographics between the two groups were similar.All patients routinely received adjuvant hormone therapy (AHT) postoperatively.The patients in the later group underwent collapsin response mediator protein 4 (CRMP4) methylation study on the prostatic biopsy preoperatively.Those with a CRMP4 methylation level ＞ 15％ or rectum/bladder neck invasion,were treated by neoadjuvant hormone therapy (NHT) for 3-6 months.Positive surgical margin (PSM),progression-free survival (PFS),cancer-specific survival (CSS),overall survival (OS) and postoperative continence rates between the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results The mean operative time of the earlier and later group were (239 ±65) min and (203±51) min,mean blood loss were (109-±65) ml and (96-±44) ml,mean dissected nodes were (19 ± 5) and (21 ± 7),respectively (all P ＞ 0.05).The total PSM rate was 19.2％,and PSM rates of the two groups were 23.1％ and 12.6％ (P =0.04).All the 255 cases received AHT and 25 cases in the later group underwent NHT.The median follow-up time was 73 months (range 10-152 months).The total 5-year PFS,CSS and OS rates were 77.7％,94.3％ and 87.1％,respectively,and the rates between groups were 73.8％ vs.86.1％ (P=0.03),93.1％ vs.98.6％ (P=0.07),and 85.0％ vs.92.8％ (P =0.11),respectively.The 1-year postoperative continence rates were 91.9％ vs.97.9％ (P =0.09).Conclusions Hormone therapy combined with LRP plus ePLND represents an oncological and functional effective option in patients with locally advanced PCa,and improved PFS might be acquired by preoperative tumor staging.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) play a crucial role in T cell dysfunction, which is related to poor outcome in patients with severe trauma. Cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) contributes to immune disorder in trauma and infection via production of prostaglandin E2. However, the role of Cox-2 in the accumulation and function of MDSCs after traumatic stress has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we treated murine trauma model with NS398, a selective Cox-2 inhibitor. Then the percentages of CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells, proliferation and apoptosis of CD4+ T cells were determined. Arginase activity and arginase-1 (Arg-1) protein expression of splenic CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells, and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response were analyzed. The results showed that Cox-2 blockade significantly decreased the percentages of CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells in the spleen and bone marrow 48 and 72 h after traumatic stress. NS398 inhibited arginase activity and down-regulated the Arg-1 expression of splenic CD11b+/Gr-1+ cells. Moreover, NS398 could promote proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of CD4+ T cells. It also restored DTH response of traumatic mice. Taken together, our data revealed that Cox-2 might play a pivotal role in the accumulation and function of MDSC after traumatic stress.

Objective To investigate the value of emergency bedside focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) in combination with regional organ focused ultrasonography in patients with closed abdominal trauma.Methods Two hundred and thirty-seven patients with closed abdominal trauma underwent bedside ultrasonography in the Emergency Department at General Hospital of Chengdu Military Command.In patients with unstable hemodynamics or severe craniocerebral injury,ultrasonography was ended immediately after FAST screening.In patients with stable vital signs,the focused regional organ injury after FAST screening was determined based on the mechanism of trauma,action location and direction of external force,abdominal symptoms,and signs.The results of operation and CT scanning were considered as golden criteria and used to compare with those of ultrasonography.Results (1) The diagnostic sensitivity of FAST to abdominal organ rupture and ascites due to abdominal organ rupture calling for emergency operation was 79.3％ and 100％,respectively.The total specificity of FAST was 98.2％,positive predictive value 93.9％,and negative predictive value 86.7％.(2) The diagnostic accordance rate of single visceral injury examined by regional organ focused ultrasonography was 91.2％ and that of multiple visceral injury was 63.6％.The missed diagnoses were predominantly contusion and microlaceration.Conclusions FAST can quickly screen out the patients with unstable hemodynamics due to abdominal organ rupture calling for emergency management.Regional organ focused ultrasonography can increase the rate of correct diagnosis of visceral injury and decrease the rate of missed diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of smoking status after vascular construction on the long term prognosis in the patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods Totally 893 patients with CHD were divided into 3 groups according to the smoking status before and after vascular construction,non-smoking group(n=458),quiting smoking group(n=287) and smoking group(n=148).The occurrence situation of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events(MACCE) during follow-up period were recorded in detail.The postoperative cumulative survival rate was described by using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.The effect of smoking status on the all-cause death and MACCE was compared.The Cox stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the all-cause death and the influence factors of MACCE.Results The average follow up time was about 27 months,the postoperative smoking rate was significantly lower than the preoperative multivariable smoking rate(16.57 ％ vs.48.71％),the patients in the smoking group were younger (P＜0.01);the patients in the non-smoking group were mainly female (P＜0.01),the body mass index (BMI) was smaller(P＜0.01).The all-cause death in the smoking group was higher (1.53％ vs.1.05％ vs.6.76％,P=0.002) and the occurrence rate of MACCE was higher (4.37％ vs.5.23％ vs.15.54％,P=0.001).The Cox multivariable stepwise regression analysis showed that postoperative persistent smoking was an important risk factor leading to the all-cause death[HR=2.753,95％CI(1.695-4.473),P＜0.01] and MACCE[HR=1.552,95％CI(1.049-1.754),P=0.001].Conclusion Persistent smoking is an independent risk factor leading to all-cause death and MACCE occurrence in CHD patients after vascular construction.
