Objective To explore the relationship between tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene polymorphisms in donors and recipients and the incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host diseases (aGVHD) after unrelated allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alIo-HSCT). Methods Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TNFα-238 (G/A), TNFα-857 (C/T), TNFα-863 (C/A), TNFα-1031 (T/C), TNFβ + 252 (A/G) were analyzed by Multiplex SNaPshot analysis in 76 pairs of donors and recipients. Results Transplantation involving donors with TNFα-857 CC genotype resulted in a higher incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD than donors with CT genotype (91.3% vs 8. 7% , P =0. 039). In the 23 patients with grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ aGVHD, no patients had TNFβ +252 AA genotype, 19 (82.6%) had GA genotype and 4 (17.4%) had GG genotype. There was a significant difference in the distribution pattern of the TNFβ +252 (AA, GA and GG) genotypes in these patients (P =0.03). There was no significant association of TNFα-238 (G/A), TNFα-863 (C/A) and TNFα-1031 (T/C) polymorphisms with the risk of aGVHD. Conclusion These results suggest donor TNFα-857 CC genotype is related to a higher incidence of grade Ⅱ -Ⅳ aGVHD, and patients with TNFβ +252 AA genotype have protection against the risk of grade Ⅱ -Ⅳ aGVHD.

Objective To study the long-term effect of argon plasma coagulation (APC) combined with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) on Barrett esophagus (BE). Methods A total of 36 patients, histologically proven as having BE from 2004 to 2007, were enrolled to underwent a therapy of APC plus PPI. The patients were re-examined on endoscopy at 1, 6 and 12 months after first APC and once a year thereafter.Results A total of 48 APC sessions were given to 36 patients with a mean number at 1. 33 per patient. The effective rate of reversal of BE was 100%. The follow-up was accomplished for all patients in 14-51 months with a median of 36months. The total recurrence rate (RR) of BE reached 16. 7% (6/36). The 1-year and 2-year RRs were 2. 8% (1/36) and 11.1% (4/36), respectively. The logistic regression analysis suggested that 2-year and total RRs were related to APC sessions ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The therapy of APC combined with PPI for BE is safe and of long-term effects.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that sacral nerve-root stimulation based on anodes block technique can effectively reconstruct the bladder voiding function of the rabbits with spinal cord injury. But the corresponding technology of stimulating electrode has not been reported so far.
OBJECTIVE:To design and develop the stimulating electrodes matching with both rabbit sacral nerve roots and anodal blocking technique, to observe the ultrastructure and morphological change of rabbit sacral nerve roots which implanted in electrode stimulation for a long-term and to assess the safety of stimulating electrodes.
METHODS:Thirty New Zealand rabbits were included, 10 rabbits were randomly selected from them and sacrificed after anesthesia, and then cut the anterior roots of bilateral S 2 and S 3 immediately;after measuring the diameter under the light microscope, the sleeve type stimulation electrode matched with the diameter was made. The remaining 20 rabbits were randomly divided into control group and implantation group, with 10 rabbits in each group. In the implantation group, the stimulating electrodes were implanted into the forepart of S 2 and S 3 nerve roots after anesthesia, and then sacrificed after fed for half a year for col ecting the samples. Then ultrastructure change of sacral nerve roots with the implantation was observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Structure of nerve cel s of sacral nerve roots remained in good condition under a light microscope after long-term implantation of the stimulating electrodes. No obvious degeneration of axons, no inflammatory infiltration and glial scar formation were observed. In the implantation group, myelins arranged closely without demyelination phenomenon, and there was no atrophy of neuronal nuclear, no nuclear sag, no increased nuclear decompression and heterochromatin in neurons under the light microscope. Immunohistochemical analysis showed, compared with the control group, there were no significant differences in the expressions of glial fibril ary acidic protein, Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 proteins of nerve roots in the implantation group. The stimulation electrode of rabbit sacral nerve root is developed successful y, that is, the implantation is simple and safe as it can be used for long-term implantation without histopathological changes and apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the features of risk factors of minor stroke with CISS classification in Guangdong Province. Methods We retrospectively investigated the patients admitted within 3 days of the occurrence of a minor stroke, and were classified by CISS criteria as large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), cardiogenic stroke (CS), penetrating artery disease (PAD), other etiology (OE), undetermined etiology (UE). Results In this study, 303 pa-tients met the inclusion criteria of minor stroke. The highest percentage of the risk factors included hypertension (72.3%), hyperlipidemia (58.3%), and diabetes mellitus (39.9%). Among different subtypes, 41.9% were diagnosed with LAA, and 50.8% with PAD. Plasma triglyceride (TG)(1.765 ±1.18)mg/L vs.(2.19 ±1.84)mg/L,P=0.03], apolipoproteinsB (ApoB) [(0.95±0.29)mg/L vs.(1.11±0.46)mg/L,P=0.009]C-reactive protein (CRP) [(6.63±11.30) mg/L vs.(3.42 ±5.02)mg/L,P=0.042] and ApoB/ApoA1 ratio [(0.754 ±0.25)mg/L vs.(0.875 ±0.49)mg/L,P=0.019], differed significantly between group LAA and PAD. Conclusion Hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus are the major risk factors of minor stroke. The most common subtypes of the minor stroke patients in Guangdong Province are LAA and PAD, and detecting their TG, apoB, CRP level and apoB/apoA1 ratio might help subclassify minor stroke according to CISS.
