Objective To study proteome variation between uropathogenic E. coil (UPEC)132, UPEC J96 and non-uropathogenic E. coli K-12 MG1655. Methods Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE) was applied to compare the differential expression proteins between UPEC 132, UPEC J96 and non-uro-pathogenic E.coli K-12 MG1655. The differential expression proteins were digested in gel by enzyme. The mass of generated peptides were measured by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The data obtained from peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) were re-searched using the internet available database. Results The number of protein spots recognized from UPEC 132 was 466±11, significantly more than that of E. coli K-12 MG1655 (338±15) and UPEC J96 (382±12); there were 298 protein spots shared by the three E.coli strains, 56 protein spots shared by two UPEC strains, and 89 protein spots characterized by UPEC 132. Twenty-two differential expression or significantly increased expression protein spots, involved in virulence factors, metabolism and transportation, regulation of protein synthesis, biological oxidation and unknown functions, were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. Condusion The proteome from UPEC 132 and non-uropathogenic E. coli K-12 MG1655, or UPEC 132 and UPEC J96 was differentially expressed. It will provide important information on the pathogen-esis of UPEC 132.

The clinical treatment of locally advanced thymic epithelial tumors still faces many challenges, a multidisciplinary treatment model based on surgery is the main treatment method. In recent years, the surgical treatment of locally advanced thymic epithelial tumors has progressed rapidly, especially in the field of minimally invasive treatment. But controversies still exist and there are concepts needed to be clarified and principles to abide by. This article focuses on current status and recent progress in diagnosis and treatments of locally advanced thymic epithelial tumors.

Objective To improve the recognition of diagnosis, treatment and leukemia transformation of primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Methods One case with PMF which transformed into acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was reported and the literatures on this topic were reviewed. Results The patient was diagnosed according to the 2008 version of the WHO classification of PMF leukemia transformation was diagnosed after 2.5 years. The JAK2 V617F gene mutation was detectable both before and after leukemia transformation. The outcome of low dose chemotherapy could keep a short time. Conclusion JAK2 V617F gene could remain detectable after leukemia transformation in PMF patients. It is difficult to control the disease progress by low dose chemotherapy.

Objective To analyze clinical and radiological characteristics of intracranial hemorrhage in hematological diseases to improve the recognition of them. Methods Thirty-one clinical data of intracranial hemorrhage cases with hematological diseases were reviewed. The basic diseases, clinical and radiological manifestations, and risk factors of mortality were analyzed. Results Intracranial hemorrhage usually occurred in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP),and 13 and 6 cases, respectively, in this group. Most patients presented with headache, restlessness, nausea,vomiting, conscious disturbance and no localization sign by physical examination. CT or MRI images often revealed focus of errlysis. Compared with CT scan, a higher detection rate of ICH could be realized by MRI scan. The total mortality in this group of ICH patients was 71% (22/31). Fever, white blood cell >5×109/L,platelet <50×109/L, hyperimmunoglobulinemia and disturbance of blood coagulation were risk factors for ICH of this group of patients. The mortality was higher in patients with no less than 2 risk factors[86.4 % (19/22)vs 33.3 % (3/9)] (x2 = 8.718, P = 0.003). Conclusion ICH is a serious complication for hematological patients. MRI scan is good at improving the diagnosis of ICH. It is of high risk of death in patients with no less than 2 risk factors such as fever, white blood cell higher than 5×109/L, platelet less than 50×109/L,hyperimmunoglobulinemia and disturbance of blood coagulation.

Objective To evaluate the treatment efficacy of leukocyte reduction in hyperleukocytic acute myeloid leukemia (HAML) patients with leukostasis grading score (LGS).Methods The data of 54 HAML patients were analyzed retrospectively.The relationship between LGS and leukocyte stasis symptoms or early mortality was observed, and the impact of leukapheresis on LGS was analyzed.Results Among 54 patients with HAML, there were 1 case of M1, 16 cases of M2, 10 cases of M4, 20 cases of M5 and 7 cases of unclassified AML.Based on clinical symptoms and LGS system, 3 cases were LGS 0, 15 cases LGS 1, 17 cases LGS 2, and 19 cases LGS 3.In patients with LGS ≤ 2, the rates of type Ⅰ respiratory failure, central nevers system (CNS) symptoms and early mortality caused by leukostasis were significantly lower than those in patients with LGS 3 (P < 0.05).The LGS of HAML patients was reduced by leukocyte reduction therapy (P < 0.000 1).The LGS of HAML patients treated by leukapheresis and low dose chemotherapy was improved significantly than that of patients treated without leukapheresis (P =0.008).Among 37 cases receiving induction chemotherapy, 20 cases reached complete remission (CR) after the first cycle of induction chemotherapy.CR rate of patients with LGS ≤ 2 was no significantly different compared with that of patients with LGS 3 (P =0.703).Conclusions LGS can be used to evaluate the degree and the improvement status of leukostasis after treatment in HAML patients.The early death often occurres in patients with high LGS.Leukapheresis combined with low-dose chemotherapy can effectively improve the LGS of HAML patients.

To explore the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients, as well as to compare the clinical characteristics and outcome between HBV infected and non-HBV infected patients. Methods:The serology markers of HBV were detected in 363 MM patients and 11227 cases of healthy controls through chemiluminescence. HBV-DNA was measured via real-time quantitative chain reaction. Results:Sixteen out of 363 MM patients (4.4%) were HBsAg-positive, showing significant difference with healthy controls (2.4%). No statistically significant differences were observed in terms of sex, age, type of monoclonal (M) protein, International Staging System (ISS) stage, stem cell transplantation, and risk stratification between HBsAg-positive and HBsAg-negative patients. No significant effect of HBV infection was found on the OS of MM patients. HBV reactivation was observed in two HBsAg-positive MM patients who were treated with combination chemotherapy, including bortezomib and dexamethasone. The replication of HBV could be inhibited by anti-HBV drugs. Conclusion:A higher prevalence of HBV infection was revealed in MM patients. Close monitoring of HBV replication should be conducted in MM patients with HBV infection before and during the courses of chemotherapy.

In this study, we obtained the TiO2 films with different thickness by micro-are oxidation (MAO) on commercially available pure titanium. By altering the duration time, we got the films 5 microm, 10 microm, and 20 microm in thickness, respectively. XRD and SEM were employed to characterize the phase, composition and microstructure of the films. The MAO film, which was about 5 microm thick, was porous and even with the pore size about 1 microm. No other crystalline phase except anatase was detected by XRD. The film, which was 10 microm thick, was similar to the former. The pores were well separated and homogeneously distributed over the surface. The XRD pattern indicated that the film was composed of anatase and a minor amount of rutile, whereas the pore size of 20 microm film was about 4-6 microm and was bigger than the others. Furthermore, the small cracks were easy to observe. XRD pattern showed that the Ti peak was significantly reduced and new Ca, P, O containing compound was formed in addition to rutile and anatase with the film thickness increasing. There were significant differences in regard to surface roughness of the three groups. These findings suggest that the film thickness has an intense effect on the quality of the MAO coating. By changing the film thickness, we can extensively change the composition, structure and chemical properties of the surface layer on titanium.
