Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of autologous bone marrow transplantation(ABMT) in the treatment of patients with acute leukemia.Methods A retrospective study was accomplished on the ABMT in the treatment of 35 patients with acute leukemia from Oct 1999 to Oct 2004.The median age of the patients was 32.5(9~55) years.Of the 35 patients,26 cases were acute non-lymphocytic leukemia(ANLL) and 9 cases were acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL).The patients were pretreated with melphalan(140~180mg/m~2),cyclophosphamide(120mg/kg) and arabinosylcytosin(3g/m~2).Results All patients engrafted successfully.The median follow-up duration was 756(186~1950) days.The 3-year probabilities of disease-free-survival(DFS) for ANLL and ALL were(65.4%?8.9)% and(33.3?13.6)% respectively,and the probabilities of relapse were(30.6?9.2)% and(60.7?25.5)%,respectively.Conclusion To decrease relapse and increase DFS,patients with acute leukemia who have no chance for allogene haemopoietic stem cell transplantation are recommended for ABMT.

Objective To investigate the inhibitive activities of hepatitis B immunoglobulin(HBIG)poly(butylcynaoacrylate)nanoparticles(HBIG-PBCA-NP)to hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)and hepatitis B virus(HBV)DNA secretions using HBV infected cell model in vitro.Methods HepG 2.2.15 cells were cultured with media containing HBIG-PBCA-NP or HBIG for several days,or cultured with HBIG-PBC-NP and HBIG for 2 days and without HBIG-PBCA-NP and HBIG from day 3.The supernatants at different time points were collected for quantitative detection of HBsAg and HBV DNA.The comparisons between groups were done by variance analysis.Resalts Secretions of HBsAg and HBV DNA in supernatants of HepG2.2.15 cultured with 0.1-10.0 IU/mL of HBIG-PBCA-NP and HBIG were inhibited significantly compared with control group.HBsAg titers and HBV DNA levels in supernatants of HBIG-PBCA-NP group and HBIG group cultured with media without HBIG-PBCA-NP and HBIG kept decreasing at day 5 and 7,then rebounded at day 9 and 11.HBsAg titera in supernatants of 0.1,1.0,5.0 IU/mL HBIG-PBCA-NP group were all significantly different from those in HBIG group at day 9[(31.31±1.98)μg/L vs(40.62±2.99)μg/L,(23.79±1.31)μg/L vs(36.51±2.12)μg/L,(19.91±1.74)μg/L vs(33.03±1.65)μg/L;F=412.24,P<0.01].Couclusion HBIG-PBCA-NP can inhibit secretions of HgsAg and HBV DNA in vitro,which is more effective than HBIG.

Objective To analyze the association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV)infection.Methods A total of 150 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2011 to May 2012 and 168 healthy controls were enrolled in the study.The genotypes of TLR7 IVS2-151 (rs179009) were detected by Sanger sequencing,and the genotypes of TLR9 T-1486C (rs187084) were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).SPSS 15.0 was used for statistical analysis,and goodness-of-fit test for HardyWeinberg equilibrium was also performed.Results The frequency of TLR7 IVS2-151G was higher in malepatients with CHC than that in male controls (41.4% vs.21.6%,x2 =7.250,P =0.007,OR =0.389,95% CI:0.194-0.781) ; however the female CHC patients had a higher frequency of TLR7 IVS2-151A than the female controls (76.9% vs.63.1%,x2 =7.202,P =0.007,OR =1.942,95% CI:1.192-3.164).No significant difference in the distribution of TLR9 T-1486C (rs187084) gene SNP was observed betweenCHC and control groups (P >0.05).Conclusion TLR7 IVS2-151 (rs179009) is correlated with HCV infection,which may be involved in the pathogenesis of CHC.

Objective To detect the changes of serum integrinβ4 level during both exacerbation and clinical remission of asthmatic patients, and observe the correlation between the changes and balance of Th1/Th2,and to explore the relationship between integrinβ4 and the immune function in asthmatic patients.Methods Thirty?five cases patients who were hospitalized in the Seventh People's Hospital of Shenzhen from May 2013 to June 2015 were collected into this study.Serum interleukin?4(IL?4),interferonγ(IFN?γ),and integrinβ4 were measured with ELISA and western?blotting methods during both exacerbation and remission of asthmatic patients. Then the level of IL?4, IFN?γand integrinβ4 of the two groups were compared. Results The level of serum integrinβ4 protein in the remission stage of asthma was significantly higher than that in the acute attack period, and the difference was statistically significant(0.633±0.032 vs. 0.375±0.107,t=3.31,P<0.01).The level of ser?um IFN?γ in the remission stage of asthma was significantly higher than that in the acute attack period,and the difference was statistically significant((49.3±6.4) g/L vs. (16.7±7.2) g/L,t=3.11,P<0.05),and the level of IL?4 was (25.3±3.6) ng/L and (43.7±11.2) ng/L respectively,the difference between the two groups had sta?tistical significance(t=3.23,P<0.05).The serum level of integrinβ4 and IL?4/IFN?γratio were passively corre?lated(the acute attack period:r=0.749,P=0.05;the remission stage of asthma:r=0.745,P=0.015).Conclu?sion The serum level of integrinβ4 is passively related to IL?4/IFN?γ. Integrinβ4 may play an important role between immune function and the development in airway inflammation of asthmatic patients.

Objectives To summarize experiences and improve efficacy of comprehensive treatment for patients with wound bitten by venomous snakes. Methods Totally, 547 patients with wound bitten by venomous snakes were hospitalized during January 1993 to December 2002, with comprehensive treatment focusing on purified antivenom serum and paying attention to intensive care for the lung, brain, kidney, blood and circulatory function to detect and handle with viscera damage earlier. Large-dose corticosteroid and anisodaminie was used in treatment for snake-bitten patients to improve clinical effects.Results Among 547 patients, 501 were cured (91.6%), 28 (5.1%) improved, and limb dysfunction was left in 8 (1.5%), including two needed skin grafting, fingers or toes amputed in three and one hemiplegia, and ten died with a case-fatality ratio of 1.8%. Conclusions Multiple organ failure caused by venomous snake bite is one of high risk factor leading to death. Comprehensive and symptomatic treatment for snake-bitten wound can reduce its case-fatality.

Objective To evaluate the application value of denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) as a rapid gene typing tool for β thalassemia. Methods 226 suspicious samples were screened with MCV, RDW, erythrocytcte agility and hemoglobin electrophoresis. The final diagnosis ofβ thalassemia genotype was made by DHPLC and PCR-reverse dot blot (PCR-RDB). Results Sixty-nine samples (30. 5% ) were eventually diagnosed as βthalassemia by PCR-RDB. The genotyping results for βthalassemia identified by DHPLC were complete agreement with genotyping results by PCR-RDB. We found 37 cases of CD41/CD42 ( - TCTT) frame shift mutation(54% ) ; 12 cases of IVS - Ⅱ - 654 (C→T) insertion mutation( 17% ) ;10 cases of TATA - 28 (A→G) transcription mutation ( 15% ) ;5 cases of CD17 (A→T)nonsense mutation ( 7% ) ; 5 cases of CD71/CD72 ( + A) frame shift mutation (7%). Conclusion The DHPLC is a rapid, sensitive , efficient and highly accurate assay in the diagnosis of β-thalassemia.
