Objective To study the clinical effect of tacrolimus combined with small dose of prednisolone in treatment of IgA nephropathy.Methods 84 cases with IgA nephropathy were randomly divided into study group and the control group in accordance with the digital table method.The control group was given simple hormone treatment, while the study group was treated with tacrolimus combined with small dose of prednisolone.The clinical efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups.Results The treatment effective rate (100.00%)and complete remis-sion rate (73.81%)of the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (76.19%, 23.81%),and the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =21.01,11.35,P <0.05 ).After treatment,24h urinary protein level was significantly decreased compared with before treatment.24h urinary protein level[(0.54 ± 0.41)g/L]of the study group was significantly lower than the control group[(1.06 ±0.62)g/L],and the difference was statistically significant (t =4.01,4.58,3.87,all P <0.05).In addition,before and after treatment,the serum creatinine,blood sugar,white blood cells,cereal third transaminase,SBP and DBP levels between two groups had no significant differences (P >0.05).When patients lighter (Lee's Ⅱ level),the team for complete response rate was significantly higher than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =5.01,P <0.05 ). However,with the aggravation of pathological damage (Lee),the effective rate and complete remission rate of the study group and the control group showed a downward trend.The effective rate and complete remission rate of the study group were higher than those in the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant (χ2 =1.03,2.11,1.20,1.20,all P >0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the study group (19.05%)was not significantly different from that of the control group (16.67%)(χ2 =0.08,P >0.05 ).Conclusion Tacrolimus combined with small dose hormone for the treatment of IgA nephropathy has high clinical value,it can significantly reduce the level of IgA nephropathy 24h nephropathy,and adverse reactions.

[Objective]To evaluate FANCF gene methylation status and its roles in the pathogenesis acute myeloid leukemia (AML).[Methods]Genomic DNA from primary 30 AML patients and 21 AML cell lines were subjected to FANCF methylation analysis by PCR based restriction enzyme digestion assay.FANCF protein expression was detected by Western blot.In addition,FANCF gene methylation status was further analyzed using bisulfate sequencing.[Results] No FANCF methylation was found in primary AML patients.One (4.76 %) AML cell line contained FANCF methylation in the promoter region.The AML cell line was hypersensitive to MMC with absence of FANCF protein expression.[Conclusion] FANCF methylation is a rare event in AML,and does not contribute to the initiation of AML, but may contribute to the clonal transformation and cellular phenotype maintenance in some AML cell lines.

Purpose:To investigate the feasibility of Gemci tabine with Lipiodol Emulsion for treatment of advanced liver cancer and its si de-effects.Methods:31 advanced liver cancer cases were treated with Gemcit abine with Lipiodol Emulsion for arterial embolijation some were treated with ar terial infusion chemotherapy.Early therapeutic effect and side-effects were eva luated after the first initial therapy. Results:In 31 patients ,4 patients were liver metastases from l ung carcinoma,8 patients were liver metastases from pancreatic carcinoma ,7 pati ents were liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma,12 patients were primary ma ssive liver cancer After the first treatment,the symptoms of gastrc pain and app etite were ameliorated,more over,the side-effects (omit,heart toxicity ,myelosu ppression) was slight. Conclusions:treatment using gemcitabine with lipiodol emulsion for arterial emboliyation and arterial infusion for chemtherapy in advanced live r cancer is not only safe but also improves the patients' quality of life.The r esults suggested that the treatment is mild in toxicity.

Objective To investigate the effect of UCP2 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis in cervical squamous carcinoma. Methods Plasmid?mediated downregulation of UCP2 was obtained in cervical cancer cell lines. MTT, flow cytometry and transwell chamber assay were conducted to detect the ability of proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis. Characteristics of UCP2 protein was analyzed by bioinformatics methods. Results (1)UCP2 was verified to be downregulated by qRT?PCR and Western blotting assay.(2)MTT, apoptosis assay and transwell chamber assay showed that the proliferation of SiHa cell was significantly inhibited, and the apoptosis rate was significantly increased, and metastasis was markedly deduced (P < 0.05). (3) Bioinformatic analysis showed that UCP2 was located in mitochondria with several phosphorylation sites, and UCP2 interacted with other proteins to produce biological effects. Conclusion UCP2 may play an important role in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer, and it is expected to be a new target for the early diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer.

AIM: To study the effects and mechanisms of norepinephrine (NE) on the activity of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) in cardiomyocytes. METHODS: Using the cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes, the levels of reactive oxygen species and the nuclear DNA binding activity of NF-?B were measured in cardiomyocytes before and after stimulated with NE alone, NE+prazosin+propranolol, and NE+vitamin E, respectively. RESULTS: NE increased significantly the levels of reactive oxygen species and NF-?B activity in cardiac myocytes. These effects of NE were attenuated by vitamin E pretreatment, as well as prazosin and propranoloe. CONCLUSION: The effects of NE on cardiomyocytes might be exerted partly through NF-?B activation, and associated with NE-induced overproducion of reactive oxygen species via the adrenergic receptor pathway.

Studies in recent years revel that there is a close relationship between gastrin/cholecystokinin-2 receptors (GAS/CCK-2R) and pancreatic cancer. CCK-2R is widely distributed in human body, but not in normal exocrine pancreas. However, CCK-2R is abnormally expressed in pancreatic carcinoma. The abnormal expression of CCK-2R in pancreatic tissues leads to the abnormal protein expression and activation, changes in acinar cells' morphology and phenotype and an increase in the sensitivity to carcinogenic substances. And some GAS/CCK-2R antagonists can be used for the early and late treatment of pancreatic cancer.
