Objective To study the relationship between the severity of diastolic heart failure(DHF)and bone mineral density in the elderly. Methods Totally 80 elderly patients aged over 80 years who were tested as normal for cardiac diastolic function by Doppler tissue imaging(DTI) were selected and divided into four groups by the e/a ratio,i.e.,the normal group(n=18),the DHF 1 group(0.8≤e/a<1,n=25),the DHF 2 group (0.6≤e/a<0.8,n=22),and the DHF 3 group(e/a<0.6,n=15). And the other 20 healthy people by physical examination were set as the normal control group.All subjects underwent bone mineral density(BMD)measurement(including femoral neck,total femoral hip and lumbar vertebra 1?4) by dual energy X?ray absorptiometry. Results Bone mineral density(BMD)was significantly decreased(P<0.05)in DHF groups(DHF 1,DHF 2,and DHF 3). Bone mineral density significantly decreased along with the severity of DHF. Bone mineral density was positively correlated with the e/a ratio in the elderly with DHF(r=0.75,P<0.01). Conclusion The severity of diastolic heart failure is closely related to bone mineral density in the elderly. The severity of diastolic heart failure could predict osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of TAK1 and p38 genes among different subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients,and to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with different expression levels of TAK1 and p38 genes.Methods GAPDH was made as an internal reference,14 healthy people as control group.The quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of TAK1 and p38 in bone marrow samples of 87 AML patients,and the results were analyzed statistically.Results The expression levels of TAK1 and p38 in experiment group were higher than those in control group (0.194± 0.125 vs 0.015±0.008,0.233±0.140 vs 0.010±0.005,P ＜ 0.001).TAK1 expression in M4 was higher than that in M2,M3 and M5 (P =0.005,0.000,0.002),TAK1 expression in M3 was lower than that in M2 (P =0.022).p38 expression in M4 was higher than that in M1,M2,M3 and M5 (P =0.013,0.035,0.000,0.045),as it was higher in M2 and M5 than that in M3 (P =0.001,0.012).The CD56 positive rate cells and the number of peripheral blood leukocytes of the TAK1 high expression group were higher than those of the TAK1 low expression group,the CD19 positive rate of the p38 low expression group was higher than that of the p38 high expression group.Conclusion The expression levels of TAK1 and p38 genes are elevated in AML patients,and the up-regulation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AML.

Objective To study the inhibitory effects of GANT61, as an inhibitor of Gli, on the growth of human esophageal adenocarcinoma cell lines OE19 and OE33, and their mechanisms thereof. Methods After treating with different concentrations of GANT61(30,20,13.333 3,8.888 8,5.925 9,3.950 6,2.633 7,1.755 8,1.170 5μmol/L),the cell viabilities of OE19 and OE33 were detected by MTS method, which expressed by IC50. The Gli1and Gli2 mRNA expressions treated with GANT61(10 μmol/L GANT61) or DMSO for 24 h were detected in OE19 and OE33 cell lines by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The protein expressions of Gli1, Gli2 and CyclinD1 treated with GANT61 or DMSO for 24 h were detected in OE19 and OE33 cell lines by Western blot assay. Transwell invasion assay was performed to evaluate the inhibiting effect on OE19 and OE33 cell invasion by the treatment of GANT61 or DMSO. Results The IC50 of GANT61 was 8.08μmol/L in OE19 and 9.65μmol/L in OE33 cells. Compared with DMSO group, Gli1 and Gli2 mRNA expressions and Gli1,Gli2 and CyclinD1 protein expressions were significantly decreased in OE19 and OE33 cells of GANT61 group (P<0.05). The number of penetrating cells was significantly reduced in OE19 and OE33 cells of GANT61 group compared with that of DMSO group (P<0.01). Conclusion GANT61 can inhibit the growth and invasion of esophageal neoplasms cells by down-regulating Gli1 and Gli2 mRNA expression,which indicates that Hedgehog signaling pathway may play an important role in carcinogenesis and progression of esophageal adenocarcinoma.
