Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of cell differentiation agent Ⅱ (CDA-Ⅱ) on the differentiation of human acute mycloid leukemia (APL) HL-60 cells.Methods The cell morphology and differentiation was detected by Wright-Giemsa staining,the expression of cell surface differentiation antigen CD11b of HL-60 was detected by flow cytometry,the differentially expressed genes were screened by gene expression profile chip (NimbleGen).Results The result of Wright-Giemsa staining showed that CDA-Ⅱ induced HL-60 differentiation towards mature stages in a time-dependent manner.After treated with CDA-Ⅱ,the percentage of CD11b-positive HL-60 cells significantly increased in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The result of gene expression profiling indicated differentially expressed genes including 113 up-regulation genes and 140 down-regulation genes.The up-regulation expression genes involved in six pathways including mineral absorption,complement and coagulation cascades,down-regulation expression genes involved in nine pathways including pyrimidine metabolism,RNA polymerase,purine metabolism and so on.Conclusion CDA-Ⅱ can induce HL-60 differentiation and make gene differentially expressed.The data provide the feasibility of CDA-Ⅱ in differentiation induction therapy for APL.

Objective By detecting the expression levels of Foxp3 in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA),and the Foxp3 gene promoter region methylation to explore its role in the pathogenesis of RA.Methods Twenty-five RA patients and 10 healthy controls were selected,and the PBMCs were extracted by density gradient centrifugation.Foxp3 expression levels of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells were detected by flow cytometry.The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay was used to detect the Foxp3 mRNA expression in PBMCs; and bisulfate processing gene sequencing was used to determinethe differences in Foxp3 gene promoter sequence methylation level of PBMCs.The comparison between groups was analyzed using one-way ANOVA; two sets of qualitative data were compared using Fisher's exact test.Results The expression levels of Foxp3 mRNA in the CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells of active RA patients (2.31±0.25) was significantly lower than inactive RA group (3.68±0.26) and healthy controls (5.67±0.34),the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The Foxp3 mRNA expression level in inactive RA group was lower than that of the healthy controls (P＜0.05).Foxp3 promoter region-67,-74 sites of methylation level in PBMCs of RA patients (46％) was significantly higher than that of the healthy controls (6％).Conclusion Reduction in the number of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of RA and Foxp3 gene promoter methylation levels plays a key role in this process.

BACKGROUND:Failure rate is higher in patients with osteonecrosis of femoral head than in osteoarthritis patients after primary total hip arthroplasty, especial y acetabular prosthesis. Bone mineral density around the prosthesis is a key factor for quality of life of the prosthesis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the difference in periprosthetic bone mineral density between patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head and osteoarthritis patients and the exact location of differences after primary total hip arthroplasty. METHODS:Fifty patients with osteonecrosis of femoral head and fifty osteoarthritis patients were enrol ed in this study. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry examination was used to compare bone mineral density 5 years after total hip arthroplasty. In accordance with De Lee’s and Charnley’s methods, images of acetabulum were divided. The bone mineral density of different areas of the acetabulum was compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Periprosthetic bone mineral density:Bone mineral density in the lower part and upper part of the acetabulum was significantly lower in the osteonecrosis group than in the osteoarthritis group (P<0.05). No significant difference in bone mineral density in the middle of the acetabulum was detected between the two groups. (2) Results confirmed that the bone mineral density in the lower and the upper parts of the acetabular component was significantly lower in patients with osteonecrosis of femoral head than in patients with osteoarthritis.

Objective To study the effect of feto-matemal microchimerism in the treatment of activated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haploidentical mobilized peripheral blood cells against solid tumors. Methods Genomic DNA samples of 25 pairs of HLA haploidentical donors and recipients were extracted. The donor-derived HLA-DRB loci were detected with nested PCR-sequence specific primer(SSP) typing. The mixed lymphocyte proliferation action between the patients and respective donors, the engraftment of donor's cells and the serum levels of Th1/Th2 type of cytokines were measured with MTT,FISH and EIJSA method respectively. The survival time of patients with or without feto-matemal microchimerism were compared as well. Results Using nested PCR-SSP typing, the positive rates of feto-maternal microchimerism in the 25 pairs of HLA haploidentical donors and recipients were 40% in the maternal/children pairs and 0 in the paternal/children pairs. The chimerism positive patients showed less proliferation activity when cocultured with respective donors as compared with unrelated ones (P=0.03).Only one chimerism positive patient experienced the engraft of donor's cell 3 months after treatment as the donor derived XX chromosome was identified with FISH. When the data of chimerism positive patients were deleted, the serum levels of IFNγ 1 month after treatment dropped dramatically from 171.4 (26. 3～258.4) ng/L to 29. 4(1.2～39.9)ng/L. The survival time in chimerism positive patients of the maternal/children pairs was significantly longer than that in chimerism negative patients, which was (31.2±4. 3) months and (11.1±3.3) months, respectively (P=0.036). Conclusion Feto-maternal microchimerism might induce anergy in the HLA haploidentical donors, favor the engraftment of donor's progenitors and maintenance of positive microenvironment and prolong the survival time.

Objective To analyze the early risk factors of overweight and obesity in preschool children.Methods Using stratified cluster sampling,the data of 1 335 preschool children's physical examination in High-tech Zone,Urumqi,Xinjiang were collected,and the case group had 153 overweight and obese children,the control group had 1 182 non-overweight and obese children;a case-control study was conducted.The basic data of mothers and the basic data of neonatal birth were analyzed retrospectively.The univariate and unconditional multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed.Results The prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children in High-tech Zone in Urumqi was 11.5％.Non-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that children's age (OR=1.31,95％ CI:1.07-1.61),mother's pre-pregnancy BMI (OR=1.11 95 ％,CI:1.06-1.17) and whether mothers had gestational hypertension (OR=1.99 95％,CI:1.03-3.85) were the risk factors for overweight and obesity in preschool children (P＜0.05).Conclusion In Urumqi high school district preschool children's overweight and obesity rate was high;mothers with high BMI before pregnancy,and those with high blood pressure during pregnancy can increase the risk of overweight and obesity in children,preschool children's increased age may increase the risk of overweight and obesity in children.

This paper was designed to study metabonomic characters of the osteoporosis induced by high dose of hydrocortisone and the protective effects of Drynariae Rhizoma, which can replenish the kidney and strengthen the bones. A urinary metabonomics method based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed. Clear separation of healthy control group, model group and treatment group was achieved by using the principal components analysis (PCA) and 9 significantly changed metabolites were identified as potential biomarkers of osteoporosis. Compared with the health control group, the model group rats showed lower levels of creatinine, citric acid, azelaic acid, hippurate, tryptophan and indoxyl sulfate together with higher levels of phenylalanine, cresol sulfate and phenaceturic acid. These changes in urinary metabolites suggest that the disorders of amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, gut microflora and anti-oxidative damage are related to osteoporosis induced by high dose of hydrocortisone and the potential effect of Drynariae Rhizoma on all the four metabolic pathways.
