Objective To observe efficacy of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) by chemotherapy induction and treatment programs after remission.Methods 28 cases of newly diagnosed APL were treated with combined arsenic trioxide and retinoic acid which was called induced program,the patients whose leukocytes ＞10×109/L would be given anthracycline chemotherapy (DNR 40 mg × 3 d).Remission induction anthracycline chemotherapy was given after three courses of intensive therapy,the standard-dose cytarabine was used to the patients with high white blood.After the intensive treatment and with the recorery of the patient' s blood,bone marrow sequential therapy was used [arsenic trioxide (As2O3),retinoic acid (ATRA),6-MP + MTX and chemotherapy],during which recurrence rate and adverse reactions in the patient' s course of treatment were observed.Results Except 1 was died of intracranial hemorrhage at the beginning of treatment,the remaining 27 patients had received hematologic remission with PML/RARα fusion gene negative.Fusion gene of 5 patients remained negative even after maintenance treatment 2 years later.Conclusion As2O3,ATRA combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of APL is effective,the hematologic response time may be shortened,and sequential therapy can significantly reduce the relapse rate and hospitalization time,patient compliance is increased and the quality of life in patients is improved.

Objective To examine the blood lead levels and influencing factors among infants living in urban areas in Taiyuan.Methods A total of 216 healthy infants living in urban areas in Taiyuan who came to seek routine care during 2010 and 2012 were enrolled using questionnaire survey.Blood samples were collected and lead was meas-ured according to standard procedures.Results The total blood lead level was (31.54 ±22.24)μg/L,there was no significant difference between male and female.The infants whose blood level was less than 50 μg/L took the biggest proportion(80.56%),the infants whose blood level was among 50 -99μg/L and whose blood level more than 100μg/L were 19.44% and 0.00% respectively.Coal to cook,mother often catching hair,using prickly heat,sucking on the hand,washing hands before meals,living in storefront and playing time in roadside were associated with infantile blood lead level.Conclusion The key influencing factors the of the blood lead levels of infants are infantile living environ-ment and the keeper's awareness of preventing lead.

Objective To observe the influence of the expression of CD18 on the neutrophile and the leukocyte adhesion to retinal vascular endothelium by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) in early diabetic retinopathy rats. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats received intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin to induce diabetes model. 18 diabetic rats were divided into 3 groups randomly after 2 months of diabetes induction, including diabetic group (group B), HIF-1α anti-sense oligonucleotides (ASODN) injection group (group C) and HIF-1α sense oligonueleotides (SODN) injection group (group D), the age and weigh matched health rats were chosen as control group (group A), with 6 rats in each group. Then group A and B rats received 5 % glucose solution caudalis veins injection, group C and group D rats received HIF-1α ASODN and HIF-1α SODN caudalis veins injection, respectively(0.25 mg/kg). The level of CD18 on the neutrophil isolated from the peripheral blood was measured by flow cytometry. Retinal leukostasis was quantified with acridine orange leukocyte fluorography. Results The percentage of CD 18 positive neutrophil cell was (44.93±3. 60)% in group B, (18.66±1.52)% in group A, (31.66±4.72)% in group C,(51.00±5.66)% in group D. Compared with each other groups,the differences are statistically significant (F= 42. 46, P<0.001). The number of positive staining cells of retinal leukocyte was (46.16±10.68)in group A, (133.83±20.43)in group B, (99.83±9.28)in group C, (121.33±10. 23) in group C. Compared group B with group C,the number of positive staining cells raised about 2.89 times;compared group B with group C and D,the differences are statistically significant (P= 0.12, 95% confidence interval -3.69～28. 69 ). Conclusions In vivo, HIF-1α can decreased the expression of CD18 on neutrophils from diabetic rats' peripheral blood and the collection of retinal leukos- tasis in the diabetic animals. HIF-1α may serve as a therapeutic target for the treatment and/or prevention of early diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To explore the cardiac function of right ventricles in children with various course of bronchial asthma. Methods The cardiac function was evaluated by using the Doppler echocardiography in 36 chil-dren with course > 1 year bronchial asthma in remission stage and 38 children with course ≤ 1 year bronchial asthma in remission stage. 40 healthy children were used as normal controls. After treatment, 10 children with course > 1 year were evaluated again. Results The injury of right ventricle systolic function was predominant in children with > 1 year bronchial asthma, The systolic function of right ventricle remained normal in children with ≤ 1 year bronchi-al asthma. Conclusion The cardiac function damage occurs in children with > 1 year bronchial asthma and will be recoveied by cure the astham. The Doppler echocardiography is noninvasive method for determination of cardiac func-tion.

Objectives To observe the expression of death receptor 6 (DR6) in neonatal rats with hypoxia-ischemia brain damage (HIBD). Methods HIBD was induced in day 7 rats. The expression of DR6 at 24 h, 72 h and 7 d after HIBD and the expression of Caspase-3 at 24 h were evaluated by immunostaining. The injury of neural cells was evaluated by cresyl violet at 7 d after HIBD. The cognitive function was evaluated by T-maze test at 60 d after HIBD. Results DR6 positive cells were the most abundant in the ipsilateral cortex at 24 h after HIBD, and decreased gradually at 72 h and 7 d after HIBD. There was signiifcant difference of the expression of DR6 among different time points in HIBD group (P<0.01). Compared with control group, DR6 positive cells were more abundant in the ipsilateral cortex at 24 h and 72 h after HIBD (P<0.01) and caspase-3 positive cells were more abundant in the ipsilateral cortex at 24 h after HIBD (P<0.05). The number of cortical neurons were decreased at 7 d after HIBD as compared with control group (P<0.05). The T-maze test showed there was decline of the cognition in HIBD group com-pared with control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The DR6 signaling pathway plays an important role in cerebral cortex injury which may lead to the subsequent neurofunctional deifcits in neonatal HIBD rats.

Fatty acid synthase is the key enzyme which catalyzes the de novo synthesis of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA.Only recently has it been appreciated that C75,the inhibitor of fatty acid synthase can make mice lose weight via reducing food intake and increasing energy consumption.The present paper reviews the potential mechanism by which the inhibitor of fatty acid synthase may influence the expression of hypothalamic neuropeptides mediating the behaviour of food intake in central nervous system and decrease adipose sediment or increase energy production.

Objective To study the expression of dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (DD) in prostate cancer and its significance. Methods With reference to expression of ?-actin gene,the expression level of a human dihydrodiol dehydrogenase isoform (DD2) mRNA was examined in prostate cancer tissues (11 cases) and normal prostate tissues (10 cases) by reverse transcriptive-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Quantitative determination of relevant band densities was performed using densitometry-scanning techniques. Results Strong expression of DD2 mRNA was detected in prostate cancer tissures with absorbance in the range of 0.550 to 1.018 (median,0.726),and low expression of DD2 mRNA in normal prostate tissues with absorbance in the range of 0.248 to 0.420 (median,0.333). The difference of the expression of DD2 mRNA between cancer and normal prostate was significant ( P

Objective To assess the relationship between acute exposure to gaseous air pollutants (SO2, NO2) and daily mortality in Shanghai. Methods Semi-parametric generalized additive model was used to analyze the relationship between SO2/NO2 concentrations and daily death numbers from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2004 in the urban area of Shanghai after adjustment for the long-term trend of death, weather conditions, and "days of the week" effect. Results An increase of 10 ?g/m3 of SO2 could increase the total mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality and respiratory disease mortality by 1.25%(95%CI: 0.85%-1.65%), 1.45%(95%CI: 0.86%-2.04%) and 1.71%(95%CI: 0.72%-2.71%) respectively; as for an increase of 10 ?g/m3 of NO2, the mortalities could be increased by 1.04%(95%CI: 0.72%-1.35%), 1.05%(95%CI: 0.59%-1.51%) and 1.43%(95%CI: 0.65%-2.21%) respectively. Conclusion The air SO2, NO2 of present levels in Shanghai have an adverse effect on the daily mortality of residents.
