ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of artesunate on the expression of vascular endothlial growth factors(VEGF)and VEGFR in SHI-1 cell line.MethodsEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis was performed to detect the amount of VEGF in culture supernatants of SHI-1 cell in the condition of artesunate or not. The expression of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 in SHI-1 cell in the condition of artesunate or not were detected by flow cytometry.ResultsWithout artesunate,the concentration of VEGF in the culture supernatant of SHI-1 cell were (980.3±2.2) pg/ml in 24 h and (982.4±2.3) pg/ml in 48 h. The expression of VEGFRI in SHI-1 cell were (6.40±3.11) % in 24 h and (6.45±2.85) % in 48 h. The expression of VEGFR2 in SHI-1 cell were (13.90±2.26) % in 24 h and (13.95±1.96) % in 48 h. With artesunate at 5, 10, 20 ng/ml, the concentration of VEGF in culture supematant of SHI-1 cell were (234.6±1.8)pg/ml, (114.9±1.6)pg/ml, (108.8±1.5) pg/ml in 24 h and (62.3±1.7) pg/ml, (60.9±1.6) pg/ml, (32.7±1.7) pg/ml in 48 h, respectively. The levels of VEGF in SHI-1 cells treated with artesunate at different concentrations decreased significantly (P <0.05).There was significant difference between 24 hours group and 48 hours group(P <0.05).The expression of VEGFR1 in SHI-1 cell were (4.30±2.21) %, (4.20±1.37) %, (3.90±1.86) % in 24 h and (3.80±2.87) %, (3.60±1.73) %, (3.00±1.82) % in 48 h, respectively. The expression of VEGFR1 in SHI-1 cell treated with artesunate at different concentrations were not significantly different (P >0.05). No significant difference between 24 hours group and 48 hours group was observed (P >0.05). VEGFR2 expression of SHI-1 cell were(4.40±1.15) %, (3.10±0.68) %, (1.10±0.72) % in 24 h and (3.00±1.68) %, (2.20±0.93) %, (0.60±0.92) % in 48 h, respectively. The results indicated that the expression of VEGFR2 in SHI-1 cells treated with artesunate at different concentrations reduced significantly (P <0.05),but there was no significant difference between 24 h group and 48 h group (P >0.05). ConclusionThe concentration of VEGF in SHI-1 cell was high, and artesunate can down-regulate the expression of VEGF and VEGFR2,but the effect of artesunate on the VEGFR1 was not significant.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and side effect of MT regimen (mitoxantrone plus teniposide) in inductive chemotherapy and explore the relationship between the effectiveness and karyotype. Methods 33 patients with acute monocytic leukemia were divided into two groups according to the treatment history or risk status according to cytogenetics MRC criteria. Group A (n=23) and B (n=10) were primary treatment and no remission following one course of DA (daunorubicin plus cytarabine) or HDA (Harringtonine,daunorubicin plus cytarabine) regimen,respectively. According to MRC criteria,group C (n=29) and D (n=4) were intermediate and adverse group. All the cases received two courses MT regimen chemotherapies to induce remission. The results and side effects were analysed. Results The complete remission rate and effective rate in group A and B were 83 % (19/23) and 60 % (6/10),91 % (21/23) and 70 % (7/10) respectively. The complete remission rate and effective rate in group C and D was 83 % (24/29) and 25 % (1/4),88 % (26/29) and 50 % (2/4) respectively. In complex cytogenetic group and 11q23 abnormal without complex cytogenetic group,CR rate was 0 (0/3) and 100 % (4/4). The time point,count of WBC nadir and the duration of WBC were less than 1×109/L is (7±3) day after chemotherapy,(0.4±0.2)×l09/L,(8±5) day. Chemotherapy related mortality was 0. Conclusion MT regimen was highly effective and safe in inducing remission in acute monocytic leukemia,including the cases which achieved no remission following one course of DA or HDA regimen. The effectiveness of MT regimen relates to the cytogenetics. MT regimen may be highly effective in cases with 11q23 abnormal and poor effective in cases with complex cytogenetic.

Objective To explore the status of histone acetylation modification and their regulatory effect to hMSH2 gene and hMLH1 gene expression in acute leukemia. Methods Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the expression of hMSH2 and hMLH1 mRNA, and Western blot was used to measure the expression of histone H3, H4, HDACi, hMSH2 and hMLH1 protein in mononuclear cells of 56 acute leukemia patients and 30 healthy volunteers. The mononuclear cells of 30 acute leukemia patients were treated with histone deacetylase inhibitors trichostatin A (TSA), and measured the expression difference of histone H3, H4, HDAC1, hMSH2 and hMLH1 in the mononuclear cells treated with TSA. Results The protein expression levels of hMSH2, hMLH1, histone H3 and histone H4 in those mononuclear cells of acute leukemia patients were 0.4610±0.1211, 0.4013±0.1143, 0.4103±0.1241 and 0.4251±0.1081, respectively, which were significantly decreased comparing with those of healthy volunteers (0.9461±0. 1841, 0.996±0.2021, 0.8971±0. 1194 and 0.9513±0.1953) (t = 3.341, 3.935, 2.843 and 3.575,respectinely, P <0.05). The protein expression levels of HDAC1 (0.8841±0.2018) of acute leukemia patients was significantly increased comparing with those of healthy volunteers (0.5142±0.1340) (t= 2.634, P <0.05).After treatment with TSA for 48 hours, the protein expression of hMSH2 was increased nearly 1.5-fold, hMLH1 about 1.6-fold, H3 about 2.9-fold and H4 about 3.4-fold comparing with the negative control groups (P <0.05),while the protein expression of HDAC1 were decreased comparing with the negative control groups by 40 %.Conclusion There was an low expression phenomenon of histone acetylation in acute leukemia, and histone acetylation played an important role in regulation of the mismatch repair gene expression in acute leukemia.

Background/Aims:
The aim of this study was to analyze the chronological changes in postoperative complications in surgical ulcerative colitis patients over the past decade in China and to investigate the potential parameters that contributed to the changes.
Methods:
Ulcerative colitis patients who underwent surgery during 2008–2017 were retrospectively enrolled from 13 hospitals in China. Postoperative complications were compared among different operation years. Risk factors for complications were identified by logistic regression analysis.
Results:
A total of 446 surgical ulcerative colitis patients were analyzed. Fewer short-term complications (24.8% vs. 41.0%, P=0.001) and more laparoscopic surgeries (66.4% vs. 25.0%, P<0.001) were found among patients who received surgery during 2014–2017 than 2008–2013. Logistic regression suggested that independent protective factors against short-term complications were a higher preoperative body mass index (odds ratio [OR], 0.870; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.785–0.964; P=0.008), laparoscopic surgery (OR, 0.391; 95% CI, 0.217–0.705; P=0.002) and elective surgery (OR, 0.213; 95% CI, 0.067–0.675; P=0.009). The chronological decrease in short-term complications was associated with an increase in laparoscopic surgery.
Conclusions
Our data revealed a downward trend of short-term postoperative complications among surgical ulcerative colitis patients in China during the past decade, which may be due to the promotion of minimally invasive techniques among Chinese surgeons.
