Objective To set up the molecular cytobiological model of endogenous coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) re-expressing in human liver cells L02,and to study the regulation pathway and molecular basis of the re-expression of FⅧ in L02 cells activated by NO signal.Methods The L02 cells at logarithm growth phase were selected and randomly divided into blank control group and experimental group, inhibitor group and inhibitor control group;they were cultured for 0,12,24,36,48,and 60 h.Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of human FⅧ protein in L02 cells after treated for 48 h.Griess experiment was performed to detect the levels of NO in L02 cells at different time points;the transcription levels of human FⅧ gene,iNOS gene,NF-κB1 gene and I-κB alpha gene were detected by RT-PCR method.Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of human phosphorylated I-kappaB (phosphorylated I-κB)in L02 cells.Results The results of flow cytometry showed that the expression of human L02 FⅧ protein was found after treated with L-arginine for 48 h. The Griess results showed that the levels of NO in L02 cells in experimental group were significantly increased at 3,6,12,and 24 h (P<0.05)and the levels of NO in blank control group,inhibitor group and inhibitor control group had no changes. The RT-PCR results showed that the transcription of human FⅧ mRNA in L02 cells was found in experimental group,but there was no transcription of human FⅧ mRNA in blank control group,inhibitor group and inhibitor control group;the transcription levels of iNOS,NF-κB1 and I-κB alphain experiment group were increased(P<0.05)and the transcription levels of these genes in blank control group,inhibitor group and inhibitor control group had no changes. The Western blotting results showed that after adding L-arginine the expression level of phosphorylated I-κB was significantly increased (P < 0.05 ), other groups had no such change. Conclusion L-arginine can activate the phosphorylation of I-κB by NO signal pathway to lead to the changes in the expression of human FⅧ gene promoter upstream regulatory-related transcription factors NF-κB to activate the expression of human FⅧ in human liver cells L02.

Objective To compare the dosemetry between helical tomotherapy (HT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for early-stage postoperative breast cancer and provide more valuable evidences to the clinical researches. Methods Clinical trails of dosimetric comparing between HT and IMRT for early-stage breast cancer were obtained from PubMed, Embase, Sciencedirect, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases, evaluated and analyzed with the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.2 software. Results 10 studies were included with a total of 135 patients. Compared to IMRT plans, HT plans provided a significantly better conformity index (P<0.000 1), mean (P<0.000 01) and maximal dose (P=0.003) of the planning target volume (PTV). HT plans had a lower heart maximal dose (P=0.005), V20 (P=0.05), V30 (P=0.003), and ipsilateral lung maximal dose (P=0.003), V20 (P=0.02), as while as had a higher contralateral breast V5 (P=0.01), mean (P=0.05) and maximal dose (P<0.000 01). There was no significantly difference between HT and IMRT plans for homogeneity index of PTV, heart V5, V10, mean dose, ipsilateral lung V5, V10, V30, mean dose, contralateral breast V10, contralateral lung mean and maximal dose (all P >0.05). Conclusion Compared to IMRT plans, HT plans have the dosimetry superiority for early-stage breast cancer with significantly better coverage and dose conformity while maintaining lower doses to high risk organs.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical characteristics of an infant with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and the effects of imatinib on the case.

METHODThe clinical features of an infant with CML, who was treated with imatinib in the Norman Bethune International Peace Hospital at June 2009, were retrospectively analyzed and the reports in literature were reviewed. The 1-year-old boy suffered from recurrent low-degree fever and pallor. He had a moderate anemia, distended abdomen and marked splenomegaly. Bone marrow aspiration revealed CML in chronic phase)CP). The t (9; 22))q34; q11) could be detected and BCR-ABL (p210) was positive. The boy was diagnosed as CML-CP and treated with imatinib 100 mg per day. There were 10 related papers and more than 100 child CML patients were reported as retrieved from CNKI)from its establishment to August 2014) and Wanfang Database)from its establishment to August 2014) when "Child", " Chronic" and "Leukemia" were used as keywords. And there were 30 related papers including 400 cases from PubMed Database (from its establishment to August 2014) and one detailed report of an infant with CML was retrieved when "childhood" and "chronic myeloid leukemia" "imatinib" were used as keywords. The clinical effects of imatinib in infant CML cases were analyzed and summarized based on the literature.

RESULTThe boy obtained a complete hematologic response (CHR) at the 6th week of diagnosis, a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) at the 3rd month and a complete molecular response)CMR) at the 12th month without side effect. This boy grows very well and after a 62-month follow-up, his disease was stable. According to the domestic literature, 5 children CML cases aged 6 -12 years were treated with imatinib without side effects and got complete hematologic response (CHR) after 2-month-therapy. The dose, metabolic characteristics and clinical observation of imatinib can be found in foreign literature and imatinib showed good response with good tolerance in children with CML. Imatinib is regarded as the first line drug for children CML. But it may affect the development of the children.

CONCLUSIONThe children with CML-CP had a good response to imatinib, but more experience in the treatment of children with CML with iniatinib is needed.

Objective:To study the correlation between early postsurgery phonetic acquisition of speech stop and speech outcomes of young children.Methods:28 children with cleft palate were included in the study.An one-stage palatal repair procedure was per-formed by one surgeon for the children before the age of 1 8 months.Naming tests were used in the speech therapy room when the chil-dren were aged 23 months and 30 months.Stop consonant inventory number,percent correct consonants(PCC),percent correct man-ners(PCM)and percent correct places(PCP)were analyzed.Results:Number of stop consonant was significantly correlated with PCC,PCM and PCP at 24 and 30 months of age in the children.Coefficient of determination between stop consonant number and PCC was 0.535.Conclusion:Speech stop may be used as the “sensitive sound”for the analysis of speech development of the chinese children aged 2-3 years after cleft palate repair and as the individuation guideline to determine the best assessment and therapy time.

Objective To investigate the relationship between EVI1 gene expression and clinical features and prognosis of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods EVI1 gene was detected in AML children, correlation of clinical and lab features, prognosis of AML children with EVI1 gene were analyzed. Results EVI1 expression is positive in 38 of 145 children with AML. There were no significant differences in age, gender, hemoglobin concentration, leukocytes and platelet count, subtype of morphology, ratio of chromosomal anomaly and complex karyotypes between EVI1 positive and EVI1 negative group (P>0.05); coexist genes were detected in 9 cases (23.68%) of EVI1 positive group. Rate of complete remission (CR) was 91.67% in 24 cases of EVI1 positive patients received chemotherapy. Relapse rate was 64.29% and 14.29% in EVI1 positive patients who received chemotherapy and allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), retrospectively and significant differences were found (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in CR but significant difference was found in event free survival (P<0.05) for EVI1 positive and EVI1 negative patients who received chemotherapy. EVI1 gene kept negative when bone marrow relapse occurred in two patients with EVI1 positive at diagnosis. Conclusion EVI1 gene may play adverse role in pediatric AML; prognosis of EVI1 positive AML patients can be improved by allo-HSCT; follow-up of EVI1 transcript levels is insufficient to monitoring of minimal residual disease.

Objective To investigate the relationship between hyperhomocysteinaemia and unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Methods Selected 159 patients with senile hypertension combined with angina pectoris from April 2013 to April 2014, 78 cases of hyperhomocysteinaemia patients as observation group, 81 cases of simple hypertension patients as control group. All of the patients were performed coronary angiography examination, using the Gensini score method calculated the integral of the coronary lesions (CAS). Detected the level of the serum homocysteine (Hcy), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and blood lipid levels. Results The gender, age, the levels of FBG and lipid in two groups had no significant differences ( P>0.05). The incidence of UAP,CAS and hs-CRP in observation group were 44.9%(35/78), (44.34±10.67) scores,(4.31±1.01)μg/L, in control group were14.8%(12/81), (30.24±8.76) scores, (2.13±0.95)μg/L. The incidence of UAP, CAS and hs-CRP in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group ( P<0.05). The levels of serum Hcy,TC,TG,LDL-C, hs-CRP, HDL-C in UAP patients of observation group and control group were (23.21 ± 7.35) and (8.86 ±2.43) μmol/L, (6.54 ±0.75) and (6.67 ±0.82) mmol/L, (1.84 ±0.95) and (1.62 ±0.83) mmol/L, (4.65±0.78) and (4.42±0.72)mmol/L,(5.15±1.24) and(3.21±1.15) mg/L, (1.02±0.32) and(1.01±0.35) mmol/L. The levels of serum Hcy,TC,TG,LDL-C, hs-CRP, HDL-C in SAP patients of observation group and control group were (12.54±4.37) and (6.52±1.36)μmol/L, (4.23±0.54) and (4.43±0.57) mmol/L, (1.45 ±0.76) and (1.25 ±0.68) mmol/L, (2.67 ±0.45) and (2.43 ±0.43) mmol/L, (3.02 ±1.13) and (1.52±0.98) mg/L, (1.24±0.36) and (1.26±0.34) mmol/L.There were significant differences (P<0.05). Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that the senile H-type hypertension was independent risk factor of UAP (OR=4.324, 95%CI 2.463-6.874, P=0.001). Conclusions The levels of serum Hcy is closely related to the stability of the coronary artery atheromatous plaque and lesion severity of coronary artery. The senile H-type hypertension is independent risk factor of UAP.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of folic acid on the oxidative damage that ox-LDL (oxi?dized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1) render to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Methods HUVECs were injured by ox-LDL (120 mg/L) for 24 h while they were incubated with various concentration of folic acid (0,15, 60, 150, 225, 300, 375 nmol/L). Then HUVECs were cultured in media contains same concentration of folic acid but without ox-LDL for 72 hours. Finally, HUVECs were harvested after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. The morphological changes were observed us?ing inverted microscope and cell viability were examined by MTT. Results Various concentrations of folic acid (0,15, 50, 100, 200 and 500 nmol/L) has no obvious promotion or inhibition effect in growth of normal HUVEC (P>0.05). However, compared with the ox-FA-def group, 150, 225, 300 and 375 nmol/L of folic acid promoted proliferation of HUVECs with 96 and 120 hours of incubations (P < 0.05). Folic acid of 60, 150, 225, 300 and 375 nmol/L promoted the proliferation of HUVECs with 72 h and 96 hours of incubation (P<0.05). Conclusion High dose folic acid can reduce the ox-LDL oxida?tive damage on HUVEC in a concentration dependent manner.
