Objective:To investigate the proliferation inhibitory effect of crocin on transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladde(rTCCB). Methods:MTT assay was used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Crocin on the proliferation of T24 cells. Microscope was used to observe the morphological changes of the T24 cells. Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell cycle. T24 cells were inoculated in to BALB/c nude mice to establish bladder cancer model. After treatment with Crocin,the inhibitory effects were observed on the growth of tumors. Results:The proliferation of T24 cells were inhibited remarkably. Morphological changes of cells were observed. Flow cytometric profiles revealed that crocin led to the increase of the cells in G0/G1 phase and the decrease of cells in S phase and G2/M(P

Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD) is one of the most potentially lifethreatening complications after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (a]lo-HSCT),and is mostly associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection.PTLD may have a wide range of clinical manifestations and pathological classifications.The rapid progression and high fatality of early PTLD should prompt clinicians to a timely diagnosis.This paper presents a review of the latest update on epidemiology,pathogenesis,clinical manifestations,diagnosis,management and prognosis of post allo-HSCT PTLD.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of carvedilol and metoprolol in the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy patients with heart failure (DCM).Methods According to the different treatment method,90 DCM patients with heart failure patients were divided into the observation group and the control group,45 cases in each group.Both groups were given a diuretic,vasodilator,cardiac and other drug treatment,and the control group were added with metoprolol,and the observation group were added with carvedilol.The treatment lasted 4 to 6 months.Before and after treatment,the levels of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESVI),left ventricular diastolic diameter (LVEDVI),left ventricular fractional shorteningrate (FS),largest peak velocity (hCFV),coronary flow reserve (CFR),simultaneous detection of serum levels of endothelin (ET) and nitric oxide(NO) content were observed and compared betweon the two groups.Results After the treatment,the levels of LVEF,LVESVI,LVEDVI,FS,hCFV,CFR,ET,NO of the observation group were (44.0 ± 3.4) ml/m2,(45.2 ±6.9)mm,(20.9 ±5.4)mm,(30.4 ±5.3),(78.2 ±31.6) cm/s,(3.12 ±0.36),(52.2 ±5.6) ng/L,(5.2 ± 0.67) μmol/L,respectively,which were better than those of the control group[(37.9 ± 3.5)mL/m2,(51.1 ± 7.6)mm,(20.7 ±6.3) mm,(25.2 ±7.3),(70.5 ± 31.8)cm/s,(2.85 ±0.23),(63.5 ± 1.8)ng/L,(2.55 ± 0.33) μmoL/L] (t =8.386,-3.856,-4.487,3.867,-1.152,-4.239,12.887,-23.802,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Carvedilol is an effective drug for the treatment of DCM consolidated psychological failure,which can improve heart function and coronary flow reserve capacity and endothelial function in patients,which is worth in the clinical with satisfactory results.

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is widely used in the diagnosis and grading of FDG-uptake lymphoma,particularly in the extranodal lesions.Baseline PET-CT improves the accuracy of subsequent response assessment.Focal FDG uptake within the bone or bone marrow is highly sensitive for involvement in Hodgkin' s lymphoma (HL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and is better than bone marrow biopsy.Many international trials suggest that interim scan is prognostic,but not proven as a method to guide therapy.A negative PET-CT scan at the end of therapy is the best predictor of a good outcome.However,surveillance PET-CT scan should not be done routinely.

The INK4a-ARF locus is located on CDKN2A point in human chromosome 9p21 and is known to encode two functionally distinct tumor-suppressor genes p16INK4a (MTS1/CDKN2/INK4a/p16) and p14ARF, have been shown to play significant roles in cell-cycle regulation in cancer. p16 is encoded by the exon 1a-exon 2-exon 3 transcript and functions as a negative regulator of the cell cycle through its inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) 4 and 6 and subsequent blockage of the cyclindependent phosphorylation of pRB . Thus, loss of p16 function leads to deregulation of pRB's suppressive block of the G1-to-S transition and cell proliferation. In contrast, p14ARF is encoded by the exon 1?-exon 2 transcript and acts upstream of p53. Biochemical evidence has demonstrated that p14ARF physically interacts with human double minute 2 (HDM2) gene product and consequently stabilizes p53, leading to G1 cell-cycle arrest. Overall, somatic mutation of the INK4a/ARF tumor suppressor locus, resulting in functionally deficient p16 and possibly p14ARF proteins, seems to be a prevalent event in the development of oesophagus carcinoma.
