Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(08):-
In the 46th annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology, the advance in the treatment of maligmant hematological disease concentrats on targeted therapies, including oblimersen,combination therapy rituximab with the chemotherapeutic agent, proteasome inhibitor bortezomid, flavorpiridol and radioimmunotherapy. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is an effective therapy of maligmant hematological disease. The foremost advantage of the nonmyeloablative or reduced-intensity HCT is the reduction of treatment-related mortality .

Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(02):-
Recenly,the incidence of posttransplatation lymphoproliferative disorder(PTLD) is rising,Immunodeficiency and EBV-infection are risk factors of pathogenesis related. The majority of PTLD originates from malignant proliferation of B-cell.Typical pathologic findings of PTLD are large number of plasmacytoid B cells in lymphotic tissue and often with necrosis in regional areas. Molecular biology findings are ras or p53 gene mutation and c-myc?bcl-6 gene rearrangement. Highly immunosuppressed patients may present with diffuse infiltration and functional failure of multiple organs,the prognosis is poor. Except for the decrease or discontinuation of the immunosuppressive therapy,antiviral agents and interferon- ?,anti B-cell monoclonal antibodies,autologous EBV-specific cytotoxic T cell and combination chemotherapy may achieve better responses.

Objective To investigate the association of the polymorphism of serotonin transporter gene linked polymorphic(5-HTTLPR) region with depression and its clinical symptoms in the Han Chinese.Methods PCR-based technique was used to genotype 5-HTTLPR in 64 patients with major depression and 67 unrelated controls,and the association between the polymorphism and clinical symptoms of depression was explored according to HAMD score.Results Fewer patients tended to be of L/L genotype(9.4%) than controls(19.4%),but there was no significant difference.Among women,fewer patients tended to be of L/L genotype(2.9%) than controls(13.9%),but there was no significant difference.The symptom analysis showed that depressive symptoms were significantly associated with 5-HTTLPR genotypes or alleles in the patients of L/L genotype,and that L allele had significantly lower depressive scores compared with those of other genotypes or alleles(P

Objective Developmental mandibular asymmetry is a common deformity in the human craniofacial skeleton and the treatment is not easy to get satisfactory results. A retrospective study was performed to investigate the clinical results and stability after treatment of developmental mandibular asymmetry by using combination of orthognathic surgery with orthodontics. Methods 58 cases of developmental mandibular asymmetry were treated by preoperative orthodontics-orthognathic surgery -postoperative orthodontics procedure. 82 times of operation, such as mandibular osteotomy, bimaxillary osteotomy, jaw plastic surgery, genioplasty, and distraction osteogenesis were performed according to different type of asymmetry. The facial appearance and occlusion relationship were evaluated with 1~4 years of follow-up. Results Satisfactory results were achieved in 53 cases (91.4 %). Primary satisfactory results were obtained in 4 cases (6.9 %). 1 case (1.7 %) with unsatisfactory result obtained aesthetic effect and ideal occlusion after operation again. Conclusions It is essential to use both of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery in order to ameliorate facial appearance, resume occlusal function, achieve good corrective result and prevent the recurrence of the developmental mandibular asymmetry.

Objective To evaluate the normalized correction effect of the ROX reference fluorescence on the real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessment for the Nrf2 mRNA.Methods The Taq-man probe was utilized in the real-time quantitative RT-PCR method to assess the Nrf2 mRNA; The reaction specificity of the Nrf2 PCR products obtained from the rat cDNA was assessed using gel electrophoresis and sequencing identification.The PCR calibrators with different concentrations varied at 10 gradients(from 2.0 × 109 to 2.0 × 100) were prepared for real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessment,and then the influence of the ROX reference fluorescence correction on the linear range of the PCR standard curve was investigated experimentally.The recombinant plasmids with different concentration levels(e.g,high,medium or low concentration) were assessed by the real-time RT-PCR and 20 replicate measurements were performed for all the samples in both intra- and inter-assays.The repeatability differences of both the inter- and intra-assays were analyzed systemically with/without the ROX reference fluorescence correction.Results The primers and probes required for Nrf2 mRNA real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessments were constructed,and the reaction system and conditions were also established.The length of the amplified fragment agreed well with the expected length(122 bp),and the sequencing analysis showed the amplified fragment was verified by the sequencing identification.After applying the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the linear range ofthe PCR standard curve was measured as 2.0 × 109 -2.0 × 100 copies/μl(R2 > 0.99),which was 100times wider than that measured without ROX reference fluorescence correction(2.0 × 109 - 2.0 × 102copies/μl,R2 > 0.99).Without the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the intra-assay CVs of the Ct value were measured as 4.1%,2.7% and 2.1% for the recombinant plasmids with high-,medium-,and low-level concentration,respectively.The inter-assay CVs of the Ct value were 4.3% 、3.0% 、2.4%.By contrast,with the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the intra-assay CVs of the Ct value became 0.7%,0.5%,0.4% and the inter-assay CVs of the Ct value turned to 1.0%,0.8% and 0.7%.The discrete degree of the Ct value with the correction was lower than that without the correction.The intra- and interassay Ct values of the high- and medium-level samples exhibited statistic significance for the measurements with/without the correction.In the high-level group,the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 4.843 and 2.566,with P<0.05.In the medium-level group,the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 4.293 and 4.423,with P<0.05.However,no statistic significance was observed the low-level group(the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 0.753 and 1.279,with P >.0.05).Conclusions The utilization of the ROX reference fluorescence in the real-time quantitative PCR assessment for Nrf2 mRNA could widen the linear range of the standard PCR calibration curve and improve the repeatability of the assessment,which should be quite helpful for accurately assessing the expression level of the Nrf2 mRNA.

Objective To investigate the influence of arsenic trioxide (AS2 O3 )in the vasculogenic mimicry (VM ) of HepG2 cells, and to preliminary clarify the possible mechanism of inhibition of AS2 O3 on the VM. Methods Themean inhibitory concentration (IC50 )of AS2 O3 72 h after treatment of HepG2 cells was calculated by CCK-8 assay.The HepG2 cells were cultured on 3-D Matrigel and randomly divided into control group, 1/2 IC50 AS2 O3 group and IC50 AS2 O3 group.IPP software was used to calculate the number,length and area of VM,and the expression levels of VM-related proteins VE-cadherin and MMP-2, apoptotic-related protein caspase-3 and proliferation-related protein PCNA were detected by Western blotting method.Results The IC50 of AS2 O3 was 10μmol·L-1 72 h after treatment of HepG2 cells.The number,length and area of VM in 1/2 IC50 and IC50 AS2 O3 groups were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01);the number,length and area of VM in IC50 AS2 O3 group were also lower than those in 1/2 IC50 AS2 O3 group (P<0.05).Compared with control group,the expression levels of VE-cadherin and MMP-2 in 1/2 IC50 and IC50 AS2 O3 groups were decreased (P<0.05),and the expression levels of caspase-3 and PCNA had no significant change (P>0.05).Conclusion AS2 O3 can inhibit the forming of VM of HepG2 cells,which indicated that its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the expressions of VE-cadherin and MMP-2 .
