Objective To investigate molecular cytogenetic abnormalities in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and clinic prognostic significance. Methods Conventional cytogenetics (CC) examination was performed in 17 cases with CLL by I-FISH with five probes [DI3S25(13q14.3), ATM(11q22.3), RB1(13q14), p53(17p13.1) and CSP12(12p11.1-12q11.1)]to detect molecular cytogenetic abnormalities in CLL. Results Among 17 cases of CLL, by CC examination, only 18.75 % patient were found to have chromosomal abnormalities;whereas on I-FISH, 70.6 % patient were found to have molecular cytogenetic abnormalities including 13q-(47.1%) del(RB1) (23.5 %), del(13q13.4)(29.4 %), trisomy 12 (29.4%), del(17p13.1)(11.8 %), del (ATM)(5.6 %), the frequency of complex abnormalities were 11.8 %. No correlation of molecular cytogenetic abnormalities with sex, age, Binet stage, LDH and β_2-MG were found. Conclusion I-FISH is a more rapid, accurate and sensitive technique for detection of molecular cytogenetic abnormalities in CLL than CC, There was no statistically significant difference between molecular cytogenetic abnormalities and clinic characteristics, but its prognostic significance in CLL needs to be further investigated.

Objective To investigate the effect of drug dependence severity on the relationship between impulsivity and craving.Methods 36 abstiuent drug-dependent individuals were recruited in the study.The participants were divided into the heavy depeudence group (HDG) or the low dependence group (LDG) according to the scores of Addiction Severity Index (ASI).The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) and classical Stroop task were used to measure the trait impulsivity and state impulsivity.Block designed cue-induced craving paradigm was presented to measure cue-elicited craving.Results For the HDG,a significant positive correlation was found between trait impulsivity (the mean value of BIS-11-CI scale was (39.03± 16.50)) or state impulsivity (the difference of reaction time between congruent and incongruent situation was (87.77±36.95)ms)and cue-elicited craving (0.83± 1.91)(r=0.487,0.500,P＜0.05).However,for the LDG subjects,the impulsivity was not found significantly correlated with the cue-elicited craving(r=-0.261,0.081,P＞0.05).Conclusion The addiction severity influences the relationship between impulsivity and craving,and impulsivity can only be used as a predictor of relapse in HDG.The findings suggest that the drug may influence the shared brain mechanism between impulsivity and craving.

AIM: To investigate the effect of homocysteine (HCY) on the induction of macrophage inflammatory protein-1? (MIP-1?) expression in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). METHODS: After exposure of the cultured HUVECs to HCY at increasing concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1 mmol/L) for 8 h, the MIP-1? mRNA expression was determined by in situ hybridization using a MIP-1? cDNA probe, and the MIP-1? protein expression was measured by cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a goat anti-human MIP-1? monoclonal antibody. RESULTS: The in situ hybridization showed that cultured HUVECs were able to express MIP-1? mRNA at a low level that was purplish blue granules in cytoplasm. After exposure to HCY at the concentrations mentioned above, the expression of MIP-1? mRNA was significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. Analysis of variance showed that there was significant difference between groups ( F= 606.38, P

Objective:To investigate the breakthrough points and methods of pharmaceutical care performed by clinical pharma-cists for chemotherapy-induced Ⅳ degree myelosuppression. Methods: One advanced lung adenocarcinoma patient suffering from IV degree myolosuppression after being treated with pemetrexed combined with nedaplatin was selected as the example, and the chemother-apy regimen, the cause and treatment of IV degree myolosuppression and the pharmaceutical service could be carried out were ana-lyzed. Results: With the help of clinical pharmacists, the patient conquered chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression, and clinical pharmacists enhanced the awareness of pharmaceutical care and played a positive role in the safe and effective drug use. Conclusion:The participation of clinical pharmacists in clinical pharmaceutical care through providing pharmaceutical service is beneficial to safer and more effective drug therapy.

Objective Via targeted inhibition of oncogene Bmi-1 expression by RNAi interfering technology in vitro, to observe its effect on the proliferation and cell cycle of gallbladder cancer cells. Methods Four miRNABmi-1 recombinant plasmids were constructed according to different Bmi-1 sites. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to mRNA and protein expression of Bmi-1 in gallbladder cancer cells were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot. mRNA and protein expression of Bmi-1 in gallbladder cancer cells. The most effective interfering plasmids in the miRNABmi-1 groups were transfected into GBC-SD cells. Cell proliferation and cell cycle were analyzed 48 h after transfection by BrdU and flow cytometry. Results Bmi-1mRNA expression in miRNAbmi1-1,-3 and-4 was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05);and Bmi-1 protein expression in miRNAbmi1-2,-3 and-4 was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). The recombinant plasmid in miRNAbmi1-4, with the strongest inhibitive effect of Bmi-1mRNA and protein expression, was transfected into GBC-SD cells,then the cell proliferation rate (46.63 ± 5.31) was significantly lower in mRNABmi1-4 group than the control groups (P<0.05);G0/G1 phase cells increased (72.20 ± 1.71) and G2/M and S phase cells decreased (18.30 ± 7.21, 9.50 ± 6.01) in miRNABmi1-4 group. Both were significantly different from the control groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Targeting and silencing Bmi-1 expression can effectively inhibit the proliferation of GBC-SD cells and restrain the cell cycle atin G0/G1 phase. Bmi-1 gene may be a novel target for geneic therapy of gallbladder carcinoma.
