The enzymatic activity of monocytes was studied with light microscopic semi-quantitive analysis and microspectrophotometer, including B-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase, N-acetyl-?-glucosaminidase, peroxidase and ?-naphthyl acetate esterase in peripheral blood smears prepared by hcparinazed micropipet centrifugal method in some normal donors and patients. The data of normal groups have been obtained. The results tested by microspectrophotometry have indicated that the larger the area of monocyte was, the stronger the five kinds of enzymatic activity in monocyte was. In comparison with the normal groups, there were significant alterations of the different kinds of enzymatic activity of monocytes in the patients with cir- rhosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, pemphigus, untreated malignant tumor and radiotheraped tumor respectively. The significance of the results described above have been discussed in the paper.

p27kip1 is an important negatively regulator of cell cycle progression and plays a central role in the pathogenesis of a member of tumors including breast cancer. In breast cancer cells, the level of p27kip1 expression usually decreases during tumor development and progression, in addition, cytoplasm mislocalization of p27kip1 has been reported, but less is known about the exact molecular mechanisms. Studies have indicated that phosphorylation is the key regulation way, several signal transduction pathways are involved in the regulation of the expression and distribution of p27kip1. To further understand the mechanism, the disparity of the interacting protein profiling between tumor cells and normal cells must be identified first. Including cyclins, cyclin-depend kinases, CRM1, jab1, SKP2, p27kip1 has various interacting molecules. There are also several interacting molecules especially for breast cancer cells. It seems that different protein profiling cause the different expression and intracellular distribution in different cell cycle phase. So, disparity of the p27kip1 protein profiling may be the main mechanism of its down-expression and mislocalization in breast cancer cells.

Objective:Tumor size,lymphnode metastasis,hormone level and so on have been the prognosis predictors of breast cancer,but they are not ideal. This study is to investigate the influence of the expression of p27Kip1 in early breast cancer prognosis and its relationship with clinical feature. Methods:Archival early breast carcinomas (n=106),were analyzed for p27Kip1 expression by immunohistochemistry EnVision system using specific mono-clonal antibody. Results:The p27Kip1 protein nucleus expression was low in 61 (57.55%) of the 106 cases in early breast carcinomas,which has statistic difference from the high expression in survival rate (P0.05),but correlated with lymph-node metastasis and histological grade (P

Over the past several years, mass spectrometry technology has become the important method of choice for the discovery of new biomarkers.Because the features of mass spectrometry-based proteomics including sensitivity, high throughput, speed, combined with advanced bioinformatics allow for the rapid analysis of a bunch of proteins simultaneously.It has become a powerful laboratory tool in clinical study.However recent studies showed that critical comments were made on the poor reproducibility,statistical analysis of the data et al.This article focused on challenges of study design, mass spectrometry technology and biological relevance associated its application of mass spectrometry based proteomics in serum or plasma.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms ( MPN ) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell diseases characterized by proliferation of one or more myeloid cell lineages in the bone marrow and increased mature and immature cells inperipheral blood.In recent years , several molecular markers have been discovered , such as JAK2 (JAK2 V617F and JAK2 exon12),MPL515 and TET2 mutations and so on.The discoveries provide important significance of better understanding of the pathogenesis in MPNs and are helpful for the purposes of both diagnosis and therapy.However , diagnosis remains difficult in the remaining 30%-45% of patients who lack JAK2 or MPL mutations.Recently as was reported , the identification of CALR mutations will partly address a gap above and may be a new biomarker in the molecular diagnosis of MPNs .In this review,the discovery of CALR mutations in MPN will be introduced.

microRNAs as novel tumor biomarkers exert important clinical value in early screening and antidiastole of human cancers .They show a broad prospect in clinical application , particularly due to their low invasive and high sensitivity .This review focused on the application of circulating microRNA for diagnosis and monitoring treatment in colorectal cancer based on the recent findings .Meanwhile, the defects in clinical practice by using microRNAs as tumor biomarkers and the major causes which could constraint their application, especially the unreliable detection result caused by many factors , have been discussed.

Objective To investigate the cellular fragments and particle image changes of inventory aleucocytic suspending RBC produced by the storage time extension ,RBC damage or hemolysis in order to provide the revelatory experimental basis for the transfusion safety .Methods The supernatant was prepared from different stored days (3 ,7 ,14 ,21 d) of stock aleukocytic suspen‐ding RBC .The particles in supernatant were observed and morphologically analyzed by using the microscopic static image analytic technology .Results There were a small amounts of visible particles in the sample supernatant preserved for 3 ,7 d and the parti‐cles′sizes are similar to cells′;the number of particles began to significantly increase from 14 d and the diameter became smaller . The particles filled the entire field until 21 d ,showing fragmentary status .Conclusion The cellular fragments and particles in the supernatants of stock aleukocytic suspending RBC with the storage period exceeding 14 d are significantly increased and have signif‐icant difference compared with those stored for less than 14 d .These exogenous fragments and particles may become antigens and induce the body immune response ,lead to transfusion adverse reactions .It is recommended that the patients should be transfused with stock aleukocytic suspending RBC within a storage period of 14 d .

Objective To investigate the expression level of lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase (L-PGDS) mRNA and its protein in glioma.Methods The L-PGDS mRNA was determined by real-time quantitative RT-PCR in 23 glioma and 5 healthy brain specimens. L-PGDS protein was detected by Western blot in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissue specimens.Results In 23 glioma specimens L-PGDS mRNA expression ranges from 1.5?10 3～7.0?10 4 copy/?g RNA, mean value is 1.6?10 4 copy/?g RNA. In 5 normal brain specimens, the mean value is 8.1?10 5 copy/?g RNA, statistic analysis indicates a distinct discrepancy ( P

Objective To evaluate the DLC-l gene promoter methylation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)in children by methylation specific-PCR(MSP),explore the its prognostic value.Methods Both pyrosequecing and MSP was used to detect DLC-1 gene methylation in bone marrow samples from 34 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia,5 normal bone marrow samples and acute leukemia T cell line 6T-CET.DLC-1 mRNA expression in cells with、or without treatment with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine wag investigated by real time RT-PCR Results MSP analysis showed that DLC-1 promoter methylation Was identified in 21 of bone marrow samples from ALL patients,but was absent in 5 normal bone marrow specimens.These results were completely agreement with pyrosequencing analysis.In additional,the latter can give the quantitative analysis of methylation status in specific CpG sites.No association Was observed between DLC-1 methylation and patient’S clinical-biologic characteristics including age,gender,WBC count,FAB classification,immunology typing and clinical typing(P>0.05)In 18 ALL patients achieving complete remission(CR)witIl DLC-1 methylation,14 relapsed in 12 monthhs,while only 4 relapsed in 1 patients without DLC-1 gene metllylation.Treatment of the cell line 6T-CEM harboring methylation with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine increased DLC-1 expression in dose dependent manner.
