1.Precision therapeutic strategies for Hodgkin lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2017;26(6):372-375
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a rare subtype of B-cell malignancies, and it often occurs in the youth. About 80 % patients can be cured with the advance of modern therapy. How to further improve the cure rate of HL and minimize adverse reactions are new tasks faced by the clinicians, meanwhile, short-term curative effect and long-term survival rate are worthy of attention. An accurate assessment of disease stage is crucial for the selection of the appropriate therapy. This review discusses the hot issues regarding HL treatments to further improve the precision therapeutics, and to provide more references for clinical treatment.
2.Advances in diagnosis and treatment of Takayasu arteritis in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2013;(3):297-300
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a devastating vasculitis of the aorta and its major branches,coronary and pulmonary arteries.The clinical manifestations in children are less specific than in adnlts:the disease in children presents with fever,arthralgias,vomiting,weight loss and hypertension.Conventional angiography,which is recognized as the golden standard in evaluating vascular lesions in TA,combined with computer tomography angiography (CTA),magnetic resonance angiography (MRA),ultrasonography,could not only provide important information for early diagnosis,but also detect disease activity.New immunosuppressive agents and biological therapies,such as TNF-a blocking agents,have been verified to be effective although corticosteroids and conventional immunosuppressive agents are still basic treatment.

Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2000;0(12):-
Objective To construct the autocatalytic caspase-3 and investigate its apoptosis- inducing effect in ovarian cancer in vitro and in vivo.Methods PCR recombination technique was used to construct autocatalytic caspase-3 which is named as rev-caspase-3,and Ad-Max system was used to prepare recombinant adenovirus containing rev-caspase-3,which is named as Ad-rev-easp3.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect active caspase-3 expression.Cell counting kit,flow cytometry and western blot were used to measure cell survival rate,apoptotic rate,cell cycle distribution and the expressions of plT,active subunit of caspase-3,and p85,the poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose)polymerase(PARP)cleavage segment,respectively.Transmission electron microscope was used to detect cell ultrastrueture,and real time PCR was used to detect apoptosis-related gene expression.Subcutaneous tumor models and abdominally spread tumor models of human ovarian carcinoma were established using AO cells in BALB/c nude mice. The mouse survival rates were measured for abdominally spread tumor models,and the volume of tumor nodules were determined for subcutaneous tumor models following the treatments of rev-caspase-3.Results Active caspase-3 protein was significantly expressed,and the expression levels of active subunit of caspase- 3,p17,and the PARP cleavage segment,p85,were significantly elevated in cells treated with rev-caspase- 3.The decrease of cell survival rate and the increase of cell apoptotic rate were detected following Ad-rev- casp3 treatment.Treatments with Ad-rev-casp3 [ multiplicity of infection(MOI)was 70 ] resulted in survival rate of 30.3% and apoptotic rate of 40.2%.There was a significant increase in cell number of S- phase(56.5%),while there was no significant apoptosis(3.4%)following treatments with Ad-rev-casp3 at a low dosage of MOI=10.Cells treated with rev-caspase-3 displayed significant apoptotic morphology. The levels of active caspase-3 gene expressions(9.44)significantly increased.Rev-caspase-3 treatment significantly prolonged survival,the mean survival duration was(213?16)days,and suppressed tumor growth(tumor growth suppression rate was 70%),when compared with treatment with phosphate buffered saline(PBS).Conclusion Recombinant adenovirus containing rev-caspase-3 can significantly induce apoptosis of ovarian carcinoma cells,suppress tumor growth and prolong the mouse survival duration.

Objective To study the expression and its significance of bcl-2 associated death (bad) gene in human optic nerves from traumatic atrophic eyeballs. Methods The optic nerves from 8 normal human donor eyes and 31 traumatic atrophic eyes were studied by immunohistochemistry technique. Results Bad protein was positively expressed in the normal optic nerve myelin sheath and residual myelin portions of optic nerve tissues from traumatic atrophic eyes. The expression of bad protein in the residual portions of myelin sheath was stained significantly stronger than that in normal optic nerves (P0 05). Conclusion Bad might possess the function of promoting the optic nerve atrophy processes in traumatic atrophic eyes.

As one of the serious complications of diabetes, diabetic retinopathy( DR) has become a main eye disease which causes blindness. The occurrence and development of DR is related to many factors. The pathogenesis is complicated, and the mechanism has not been clear. Early data suggest that the occurrence and development of DR has relations with many factors such as blood sugar level, diabetes duration and the environment. Among the factors, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress is the important mechanisms of DR and has become research focus in recent years. Consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction within cells include elevation of the rate of reactive oxygen species( ROS) production due to damage of electron transport chain proteins, mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA ) damage, and loss of metabolic capacity. Clear understanding on the mechanism of mitochondrial functional change under high sugar level and oxidative stress response in the occurrence and development of DR is of great significance on prevention and cure of DR. ln this article, the development of mitochondrial metabolism and oxidative stress of DR is reviewed.

ObjectiveTo predict the fluctuating intervals of intraocular pressure readings in mild and medium myopia after photorefractive keratectomy(PRK).MethodsThe intraocular pressure(IOP)readings of 383 eyes,of which spherical equivalent were less than-6.0 diopters(D)before and over 1 a after PRK,were measured with noncontact tonometer(NCT).The IOP data were analyzed with paired-sample t test,linear correlation and regression.Regression equation was used to predict the fluctuating intervals of IOP readings after PRK.ResultsThe IOP readings after PRK(10.38±2.08)mmHg were lower than those before PRK(15.43±2.74)mmHg.The difference of IOP readings between before and 1 a after PRK was significant (P<0.001).The postoperative IOP readings were related to those of preoperation (r=0.625,P<0.001)and the regression equation was Y=0.474X+3.064[X=IOP reading before PRK(mmHg),Y=IOP reading followed over 1 a after PRK(mmHg)].If IOP reading before PRK was X0,the 95% tolerant interval of IOP readings followed over 1 a after PRK was 0.5X0-0.1,0.5X0+6.3(mmHg).ConclusionIOP readings before PRK can be used to predict the fluctuating intervals of IOP readings in mild and medium myopia after PRK.

BACKGROUND: A total of 300 SD rats were used for blood sampling. In abdominal aorta approach, the best puncture point was the abdominal aortic bifurcation 1-3 mm towards the heart, with a success rate of 93.6%. In posterior orbital venous plexus approach, the needle was vertically inserted into the inner canthus and rotated toward the eyeground to open venous plexus (success rate 89.9%). In cardiac puncture approach, below the xiphoid process, the needle punctured into the skin with 25°-30° oblique upward, through the diaphragm until 2.5-3.0 cm deep (success rate 83.4%). In tail end approach, surgical scissors cut off 5-10 mm tail top (success rate 94.4%). In jugular vein approach, the needle was horizontally inserted along the fourth rib into the skin until the jugular vein, about 5 mm deep, at 30°-40° with the chest surface (success rate 80.9%). A large blood volume could be obtained by abdominal aorta approach, which leads to less haemolysis and no hurt to organs, no gas embolism or haemostasis caused by inappropriate operation. But each approach has advantages and drawbacks, the selective principle should be based on experimental require.
