Objective To analyze clinical and radiological characteristics of intracranial hemorrhage in hematological diseases to improve the recognition of them. Methods Thirty-one clinical data of intracranial hemorrhage cases with hematological diseases were reviewed. The basic diseases, clinical and radiological manifestations, and risk factors of mortality were analyzed. Results Intracranial hemorrhage usually occurred in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP),and 13 and 6 cases, respectively, in this group. Most patients presented with headache, restlessness, nausea,vomiting, conscious disturbance and no localization sign by physical examination. CT or MRI images often revealed focus of errlysis. Compared with CT scan, a higher detection rate of ICH could be realized by MRI scan. The total mortality in this group of ICH patients was 71% (22/31). Fever, white blood cell ＞5×109/L,platelet ＜50×109/L, hyperimmunoglobulinemia and disturbance of blood coagulation were risk factors for ICH of this group of patients. The mortality was higher in patients with no less than 2 risk factors[86.4 % (19/22)vs 33.3 % (3/9)] (x2 = 8.718, P = 0.003). Conclusion ICH is a serious complication for hematological patients. MRI scan is good at improving the diagnosis of ICH. It is of high risk of death in patients with no less than 2 risk factors such as fever, white blood cell higher than 5×109/L, platelet less than 50×109/L,hyperimmunoglobulinemia and disturbance of blood coagulation.

To explore the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients, as well as to compare the clinical characteristics and outcome between HBV infected and non-HBV infected patients. Methods:The serology markers of HBV were detected in 363 MM patients and 11227 cases of healthy controls through chemiluminescence. HBV-DNA was measured via real-time quantitative chain reaction. Results:Sixteen out of 363 MM patients (4.4%) were HBsAg-positive, showing significant difference with healthy controls (2.4%). No statistically significant differences were observed in terms of sex, age, type of monoclonal (M) protein, International Staging System (ISS) stage, stem cell transplantation, and risk stratification between HBsAg-positive and HBsAg-negative patients. No significant effect of HBV infection was found on the OS of MM patients. HBV reactivation was observed in two HBsAg-positive MM patients who were treated with combination chemotherapy, including bortezomib and dexamethasone. The replication of HBV could be inhibited by anti-HBV drugs. Conclusion:A higher prevalence of HBV infection was revealed in MM patients. Close monitoring of HBV replication should be conducted in MM patients with HBV infection before and during the courses of chemotherapy.

[Objective] To observe the effect of cyclosporine A (CSA) on the activity and expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in renal tubular epithelial cells. [Methods] NRK52E cells were cultured until its reached confluent. Then NRK52E cells were exposed to different concentration of CSA (0, 0.42, 0.84, 4.2, and 8.4 μmoL/L) for 48 h or 72 h respectively. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities were detected by gelatin zymography. The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. [Results] MMP-2 activity and mRNA levels were decreased in a dose dependent manner after exposed to different concentration of CSA for 48 h or 72 h in NRK52E cells. Compared with control (CSA 0 μmoL/L), CSA 0.42, 0.84, 4.2, 8.4 μmoL/L decreased the MMP-2 activities to 27%, 24%, 11%, and 9% respectively; The differences are significant, P<0.05. But the MMP-9 activity and mRNA levels were increased after exposed to CSA for 48 h or 72 h in NRK52E cells. Compared with control group, CSA 4.2 μmoL/L exposure increased MMP-9 activity to 438% in 48 h, and 237% in 72 h; the differences are significant as well, P<0.05. [Conclusion] A dose-dependent decrease in the expression and activity of MMP-2, and the up-regulation of the expression and activity of MMP-9 by CSA in renal epithelial cells may related to CSA associated tubulointerstitial damage.

Objective To evaluate the treatment efficacy of leukocyte reduction in hyperleukocytic acute myeloid leukemia (HAML) patients with leukostasis grading score (LGS).Methods The data of 54 HAML patients were analyzed retrospectively.The relationship between LGS and leukocyte stasis symptoms or early mortality was observed, and the impact of leukapheresis on LGS was analyzed.Results Among 54 patients with HAML, there were 1 case of M1, 16 cases of M2, 10 cases of M4, 20 cases of M5 and 7 cases of unclassified AML.Based on clinical symptoms and LGS system, 3 cases were LGS 0, 15 cases LGS 1, 17 cases LGS 2, and 19 cases LGS 3.In patients with LGS ≤ 2, the rates of type Ⅰ respiratory failure, central nevers system (CNS) symptoms and early mortality caused by leukostasis were significantly lower than those in patients with LGS 3 (P ＜ 0.05).The LGS of HAML patients was reduced by leukocyte reduction therapy (P ＜ 0.000 1).The LGS of HAML patients treated by leukapheresis and low dose chemotherapy was improved significantly than that of patients treated without leukapheresis (P =0.008).Among 37 cases receiving induction chemotherapy, 20 cases reached complete remission (CR) after the first cycle of induction chemotherapy.CR rate of patients with LGS ≤ 2 was no significantly different compared with that of patients with LGS 3 (P =0.703).Conclusions LGS can be used to evaluate the degree and the improvement status of leukostasis after treatment in HAML patients.The early death often occurres in patients with high LGS.Leukapheresis combined with low-dose chemotherapy can effectively improve the LGS of HAML patients.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of proliferation associated antigen Ki-67 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods A total of 45 AML patients (including 36 newly diagnosed AML patients and 9 recurrent AML patients) and 20 healthy volunteers (healthy group) were enrolled from October 2012 to January 2016 in Department of Hematology in Fuxing Hospital. The expression of Ki-67 in bone marrow blast cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The relation between Ki-67 level and clinical characteristics, and the prognostic significance of Ki-67 were studied. Results The positive rate of Ki-67 in newly diagnosed AML, recurrent AML patients and healthy controls were (10.38±8.41)%, (20.99± 11.49) % and (40.77±11.97) %, respectively. The positive rate of Ki-67 in newly diagnosed AML patients or recurrent AML patients were significantly lower than that in healthy controls (all P<0.05). The positive rate of Ki-67 in newly diagnosed AML patients was significantly lower than that in recurrent AML patients (P=0.006). The level of Ki-67 in newly diagnosed AML patients did not significantly correlated with age, FAB subtype, white blood cell count, a history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), proportion of blats cells, NPM1 gene mutation, FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) gene mutation, chromosome karyotype and response to induction therapy (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference of overall survival between high Ki-67 expression group and low Ki-67 expression group in newly diagnosed AML patients [(780±110) d vs. (788±118) d, P=0.927]. Conclusions The proliferation of blast cells in AML patients is lower than that in healthy controls. Detecting the level of Ki-67 may provide a reference for choosing the cell cycle specific chemotherapy drugs in clinical practice. Monitoring Ki-67 during AML process contributes to monitoring disease progression and predicting recurrence.

Objective To meta-analyze the effect of mirror therapy on the lower limb motor function and ac-tivities of daily living of stroke survivors so as to evaluate its clinical efficacy. Methods Medline, PubMed, OT seeker, the Cochrane library, the Wanfang database, the VIP database and the CNKI were searched for reports of randomized and controlled trials (RCTs) of the effect of mirror therapy on the lower limb motor function and activities of daily living of stroke survivors published between December 2008 and December 2018. Strict inclusion and exclu-sion criteria were applied, and the quality of the documents was comprehensively assessed according to version 5.1.0 of the Cochrane manual. The results were analyzed using version 5.2 of the RevMan software suite. Results Four-teen trials were included. Meta-analysis showed that mirror therapy had been shown to improve the patients'scores of Fugl-Meyer assessment ( FMA ), functional ambulance category ( FAC ) and modified Barthel index ( MBI ). Conclusion Mirror therapy can improve the motor function of the affected lower extremities of stroke survivors and their ability in the activities of daily living.

Objective To survey birth defects of neonates conceived by using various types of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) between 1998 and 2007 in Shanghai. Methods From 1998 to 2007, 8507 neonates from 6551 pregnancies conceived through assistant reproductive technology (ART) from 7 reproductive medicine center in Shanghai were enrolled in this retrospective study, including Shanghai Ji-Ai Genetics and IVF Institute, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine affiliated Renji Hospital,Buijin Hospital, China Welfare Institute International Maternal and Infant Health Hospital, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Health Hospital, Shanghai the Ninth People's Hospital and the Second Military Medical University affiliated Changhal Hospital. The clinical data about the type and incidence of birth defect were analyzed. Meanwhile, the factors associated with birth defect were investigated, such as various ART,gender, mother age, numbers of gestational sac, the source and quality of sperm. Results The birth defect rate was 1.08% (92/8507) and the most remarkable malformation occurred in circulation system [34% (31/92)]. The rates of major congenital malformations were 1.21% (34/2799) in fresh conventional IVF-ET, 1.07% (20/1871) in IVF-frozen-thawed embryo transfer(IVF-FET), 1.04% (23/2212) in fresh intracyto plasmic sperm injection (ICSI)-ET and 0.92% (15/1625) in ICSI-FET, which did not show statistical difference (P>0.05). There was also no significantly different incidence of malformations between 1.12% (49/4371) in male neonates and 1.02% (42/4136) in female neonates (P >0.05).However, the occurrence of congenital malformation is positively related with maternal age, the rates were 0.84% (41/4884) in mother's age less than 30 years and 1.77% (16/902) in mother' age more than 35 years, which reached statistical difference (P < 0.05). It also showed remarkable different incidence among 0.53% (25/4679) in singletons, 1.59% (57/3576) in twins and 3.97% (10/252) in triplets (P< 0.05). No remarkable difference of malformation rate among sperm sources used in fertilization were observed, including 1.09% (81/7419)in ejaculated sperm, 1.21% (7/579)in percutaneous epididymal aspiration (PESA) and 0. 79% (4/509) in donor sperm (P>0.05). Conclusions The overall incidence of birth defect in neonates from ART is similar to those conceived naturally and is not associated with different types of IVF-ET, embryo cryopreservation, sperm sources. However, maternal age and multiple pregnancies coder the higher possibility of birth defect.
