1.Current study of hypercoagnlability in multiple myeloma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2011;20(11):691-694
Mutiple myeloma(MM)has been associated with the hypercoagulable states and the development of venous thromboembolic events(VTE). Described pathogenetic mechanisms that are not exclusive to MM include the abnormality of blood clotting components,the dysfunction of fibrinolysis,the disorder of platelets,the abnormity of blood stream and blood viscosity,etc..It has been proved that high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),von Willebrand factor (vWF),increased production of inflammatory cytokines and higher expression of COX-2 in MM seem to be associated with the hypercoagulability. In addition, the treatment of MM may also result in the treatment-associated hypercoagulable states.

Objective: To study the influence of emodin on fluorouracil(5-FU) induced apoptosis by elevating reactive oxygen species(ROS)of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2. Methods: The intracellular ROS levels were detected when exposed to various concentrations of emodin for the indicated periods by flow cytometry(FCM).MTT assay and FCM were used to assess cell viability,apoptosis and cell cycle distribution after treatment with 5-FU alone or combined with various concentrations of emodin.Transmission electron microscope was applied to observe the ultrastructural change of cells. Results: Emodin elevated intracellular ROS level in a dose-and time-dependent manner,and intracellular ROS level of HepG2 cell incubated in 4 ?g/ml emodin reached peak in 2-4 h.Emodin combined with 5-FU sensitized HepG2 cell to 5-FU induced apoptosis via generation of ROS in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Enhancement of ROS generation by emodin may be a novel strategy to improve the curative effect of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Objective: To establish the permanent tooth germ missing animal model for future research on the root resorption of deciduous tooth in the absence of permanent tooth germ. Methods: The permanent tooth germ missing animal model was established by surgical removal of the permanent tooth buds in a male 11-week-old Beagle dog. Root resorption of the deciduous teeth without permanent successors was observed by taking periapical films periodically,and compared with physiological root resorption. Once the sign of root resorption of the deciduous teeth without permanent successors was detected on radiographic films, the animal was sacrificed and the mandibular bone was collected for histological study. Results: Root resorption of the deciduous teeth with the presence of permanent tooth germ started at 20 weeks after birth, while root resorption of deciduous teeth without permanent tooth germ started 26-27 weeks which was significantly delayed. Histological studies showed that a large number of multinucleated giant cells were present on the pulpal surface of the root, while only few of them were seen on the outer surface. Conclusion: The permanent tooth germ missing animal model was successfully established in this study which simulated the case of congenital absence of permanent tooth germ in human. Root resorption of deciduous tooth without permanent tooth germ was significantly delayed than the deciduous tooth with permanent tooth germ.
