Objective To evaluate significance of the quantification of bcr-abl mRNA in diagnosis and therapy of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML),essentiality significance for monitoring minimal residual disease. Methods Bcr-abl mRNA of 518 CML patients were detected using real-time PCR. Results Expression of bcr-abl mRNA was gradually increased among blastic phase (BP) (12.6 %),accelerated phase (AP) (25.4 %) and chronic phase (CP) (57.2 %) (P<0.05). Quantification of bcr-abl mRNA was cut down gradually after allotransplantation in the patients and becomes normal after treatment for 6 months. But quantification of bcr-abl mRNA inpatients treated with imatinib mesylate became normal after 12 months. Conclusion Real-time PCR was reliable and can be used for diagnosis,monitoring the treatment outcome,detecting the minimal residual disease,and predicting blast crisis.

OBJECTIVETo observe the change of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) percentage in peripheral blood after operation in rectal cancer patients and to examine its association with the prognosis.

METHODSBlood samples of pre-operation and postoperative 21-day from 64 stage I(-III( rectal cancer patients who underwent surgery in Department of General Surgery, The Affiliated Cancer Hospital, Zhengzhou University between January and December 2009 were collected. MDSCs percentage was detected by flow cytometry. Its association with the prognosis of patients was analyzed.

RESULTSMDSCs percentage of postoperative 21-day decreased significantly compared with pre-operation (P<0.01). When local recurrence or distant metastasis presented, MDSCs percentage increased again (all P<0.01) and reached the preoperative level(P>0.05). All the patients were further divided into two groups based on median MDSCs percentage. Patients with higher MDSCs percentage before operation (>3.78%) and after operation (>2.11%) had significantly lower 5-year overall survival(OS) (58.1% and 62.1%) and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS)(54.8% and 58.6%) as compared to those with lower MDSCs percentage(5-year OS 87.9% and 84.8%; 5-year DFS 82.8% and 80.0%, all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative MDSCs percentage was an independent prognostic factor of rectal cancer(HR:4.065, 95% CI:1.026 to 16.108, P=0.04).

CONCLUSIONSPreoperative increased MDSCs percentage may be an important predictor of poor OS in rectal cancer patients. Dynamic change of MDSCs percentage can reflect the disease development.

Objective To explore the influence of AKT inhibitors on tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL)in patients with liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.Methods The tumor tissues from the patients with liv-er metastasis of colorectal cancer in Department of General Surgery,The Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2016 were collected.TIL and tumor cells were isolated by percoll densi-ty gradient centrifugation. The profiling of AKT inhibitors on TIL were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results AKT inhibition enhances the expansion of TIL with memory cell without affects its proliferation,also the cells obtained under AKT inhibitor with IL-2 showed higher frequency of IFN-γproducing cells than IL-2. Conclusion Add AKT inhibitors in TIL cultivation system can strengthen the proliferation of central memory T cells,and does not affect the number of CD8+T cells.This might be developed for cell-based immunotherapy of cancer.

Objective:To investigate the ability of the anti-PD-1(scFv)/hIL-15 fusion protein(PD-15) to specifically bind to PD-1 in vitro and the effect of the combination of PD-15 with GF-hIL-15Ra-K562(G15Ra-K562) feeder cells to expand NK/T cells. Methods:Overlap PCR was used to construct G15Ra expression vector. pMXs-G15Ra-IP was transfected into K562 by electroporation. G15Ra-K562 feeder cell lines were obtained by limiting dilution method. pUC57-PD-15 was constructed by digestion and ligation. Lipofectamine? 2000 was used to transiently transfect pUC57-PD-15 into HEK293T cells and the conditioned medium containing PD-15 fusion protein was obtained. Density gradient centrifugation was used to obtain human peripheral blood mononuclear lymphocytes(PBMC), and CFSE staining was used to mark active proliferating cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the ability of PD-15 to specifically bind to PD-1 and its effect on the proliferation of human PBMC and the proportion of different subpopulations of lymphocytes.Results:The feeder cells G15Ra-K562 with high expression of fusion protein G15Ra was successfully constructed. The addition of hIL-15 can increase the ability of G15Ra-K562 to expand human PBMC by more than 5 times( P<0.05). PD-15 fusion protein has PD-1 specific binding ability( P<0.001), combined with G15Ra-K562 can efficiently expand human peripheral blood-derived NK/T cells in vitro( P<0.05). The cells expanded by PD-15 and G15Ra-K562 are mainly natural killing cell, CD8 + T and CD4 + T cells. Conclusions:The PD-15 fusion protein can specifically target the PD-1 molecule and has a strong human peripheral blood-derived NK/T cell expansion ability when combined with G15Ra-K562 feeder cells. These results shed light on selective expansion of PD-1 + lymphocytes in vitro.

Objective:To explore the optimum time of ambulation of atrial fibrillation patients after radiofrequency ablation, to provide basis for patients' early postoperative rehabilitation.Methods:By convenient sampling method, a total of 120 patients with atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation were collected at Yanghu Branch and City Branch of Changzhou Second People's Hospital from January 2020 to May 2021. They were divided into the early group, middle group and late group according to the random number table method, each group were 40 cases. All patients received routine postoperative intervention, the time of ambulation were 4, 6 and 12 h after operation in the early group, middle group and late group, respectively. The complication rate within 24 h after operation was compared among the three groups, and the comfort level of the three groups at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation was evaluated with Comfort Status Scale (GCQ).Results:Finally, 111 patients were included, including 37 in the early group, 38 in the middle group and 36 in the late group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of bleeding or hematoma, urinary retention, lumbago within 24 h after operation among the three groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postural hypotension within 24 h after operation in the early group was 2.7% (1/37), which was lower than 21.1% (7/38) and 25.0% (9/36) in the middle and late groups, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.86, 7.67, both P<0.05). At 48 and 72 h after operation, the scores of physiological dimension, psychological dimension and the total score of GCQ in the early group were (20.68 ± 3.07), (22.54 ± 3.35), (81.68 ± 6.11) and (22.54 ± 3.73), (24.38 ± 2.49), (84.92 ± 6.37), higher than those in the middle group (19.16 ± 2.19), (21.32 ± 2.27), (78.24 ± 5.58), (20.93 ± 2.85), (22.32 ± 2.04), (81.66 ± 6.56), and those in the late group (18.44 ± 1.50) (21.31 ± 1.99), (78.06 ± 4.32), (20.89 ± 2.25), (21.58 ± 1.86), (80.28 ± 6.44), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.19-4.15, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Ambulation at 4 h after operation does not increase peripheral vascular complications, but can reduce the incidence of postural hypotension and improve the comfort of patients with atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation.
