As originated from hematopoietic stem cell clonal diseases,bcr-abl-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) include polycythemia vera (PV),essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF).With the discovery of JAK2 mutations,many new mutations have been identified.With the in-depth study of gene mutation,the pathogenesis of MPN has been gradually uncovered.Novel drugs have been developed accordingly.

Objective To observe the effects of comprehensive psychological interventions in the treatment of abnormal blinking in children.Methods One hundred and sixty-three children diagnosed with abnormal blinking were randomly assigned into a basic treatment group or a comprehensive psychological intervention (CPI) group.Both groups received etiology-based therapy,while the CPI group received CPI in addition.After follow-up for six months,the therapeutic effectiveness and recurrence were evaluated.Results Abnormal blinking was significantly reduced in both groups after treatment,but the CPI group showed significantly better effectiveness than the group which received only basic treatment.Furthermore,the CPI group showed significantly less recurrence at 3-and 6-month follow-up.Conclusion CPI is more effective than basic treatment in treating abnormal blinking among children and results in less recurrence.

The neural growth and neurite density were observed with HE stain and microscope, the neural metabolism rate and apoptosis rate were examined with MTT, immuno-enzyme assay and flow cytometry, respectively, and the aldose reductase mRNA expression was also detected with RT-PCR. RESULTS: The neural growth and development in neurons treated with D-galactose was retarded, the neural metabolism rate decreased from 0.762?0 030( n= 33) to 0 543?0 064( n= 11)( P

Objective To investigate the effects of ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ on proliferation and apoptosis of human leukemic K562 cells.Methods Human leukemic K562 cells were treated with different concentration of ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ.Cell proliferation was monitored by MTT assay.Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry after Annexin V/PI staining,and mRNA expression levels of bcl-2,bax and Caspase-3 were quantified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results MTT assay showed that the proliferation of K562 cells was markedly inhibited by ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ in a time-and-dose dependent manner.The Annexin V positive rate of K562 cells after treatment with ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ was significantly increased by FCM analysis (P ＜ 0.05).The early apoptosis rate of K562 cells treated with 100 nmol/L ubiquitin isopeptidas inhibitor Ⅰ by 72 h,was obviously increased compared to control cells [(15.4±1.3) ％ vs (4.1±0.9) ％,P ＜ 0.01].The mRNA levels of Caspase-3 and bax were up-regulated and bcl-2 was down-regulated after treated with ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ,and the differences were statistically significant from control cells (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ubiquitin isopeptidase inhibitor Ⅰ has inhibitory effect on proliferation and inductive effect on apoptosis of K562 leukemia cells,implying its possible application in treating leukemia.

Objective To investigate the regulation of metabolic characteristics of metronidazole and tinidazole in human bile,and provide a theoretic basis for physician selecting antibiotic rationally when biliary tract was infected.Methods Samples of hman bile were obtained by ERCP plus ENBD,contents of metronidazole and tinidazole were simultaneously measured by HPLC method in the human bile and plasma.Results 0 25 hour after metronidazole and tinidazole were given through iv,contents of two antibiotics had reached the effective bactericida.Concentraction,content of tinidazole in the bile was relatively stable,but its C max was lower as compared with the metronidazole,contents of the two antibiotics in bile were continuously higher than those of the effective bactericidal in 24 hours,and after 16 hours and re-raise was observed in contents of the two antibiotics in bile.Conclusion As maintaining a higher concentration level for long time in the bile by iv,metronidazole and tinidazole were recommended in the patients with an infection in biliary truct.

Objective To investigate the regulation of metabolize characteristic of some antibiotics in ACST in human bile, and provide the theoretic basis for physician selecting antibiotic rationally when biliary tract has been infected. Methods Samples of ACST in human bile were obtained by ERCP + ENBD, contents of Cefradine, Cefoperazone, Ceftriaxone, Ciprofloxacin and Lomefloxacin in human bile were simultaneously measured by HPLC method. Results After antibiotics were given through iv 0. 25 ～ 1. 5 hour, an increase was observed in contents of all antibiotics in bile, and the changes of Ceftriaxone and Ciprofloxa-cin were the most significant ( P <0.01). Ceftriaxone and Ciprofloxacin had a higher Cmax than other antibiotics, and Cefoperazone had a longer tl/2. Conclusion As maintaining a little time to tmax , a higher Cmax and a longer tl/2 in the bile by iv, Cefradine and Ciprofloxacin are recommended in the patient with ACST.

BACKGROUND:As the multipotent differentiation potential, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exert an important role in bone metabolism disorders, which is regulated by a variety of hormones and cytokines. Currently, the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms underlying osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are unclear, and association between histone deacetylase (Hdac) and osteoporosis needs to be further explored. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the epigenetic mechanisms of bone formation by analyzing the expression of Hdac1, 3, 4 mRNA profile in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells isolated from ovariectomized mice. METHODS:A total 30 female healthy Kunming mice were randomly divided into sham group and ovariectomy group. After 7 days of adaptive feeding, mice in the ovariectomized group (n=15) were subject to bilateral ovariectomy;mice in sham group (n=15) were sham-operated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the ovariectomy group, the trabecular bone of the femur was sparse or broken, the width of trabecular bone was narrowed, the trabecular separation was widened, and the trabecular bone volume was reduced. The level of Hdac3 mRNA was lower in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from ovariectomized mice compared with controls, but there was no significance between Hdac1, Hdac4 mRNA expression of the two groups. These findings demonstrate that Hdac might play an important role in bone remodeling in the model of estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND:There is a very close relationship between osteoporosis and periodontal disease in postmenopausal women, but the mechanism remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of nuclear factor-κB in the alveolar bone andinterleukin-17 in the serum and gingiva in the mouse model of osteoporosis caused by ovariectomy. METHODS:Female mice aged 3 months were randomly divided into ovariectomy and sham operation groups. At 6 months after surgery, the mouse models were evaluated histologically on the submandibular bone and thigh bone stained with hematoxylin and eosin. In the submandibular bone, the expression levels of OCN and Runx2 were detected by RT-PCR, and the expression level of nuclear factor-κB was detected by immunohistochemical staining and western blot assay. Besides, the expression level of interleukin-17 in the serum and gingival homogenate was evaluated using Cytometric Beads Array. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The thigh bone in the ovariectomy group revealed the thin cortical bone, enlarged marrow cavity, and increased resorption lacunae, as well as fewer, thinner trabeculae with lower density and irregular structure. Compared with the sham operation group, the expression levels of OCN and Runx2 in the alveolar bone were decreased in the ovariectomy group. The activation of nuclear factor-κB (P65)appeared with P65 positive expression in the submandibular bone in the ovariectomy group, and the relative expression level was higher than that in the sham operation group. The serum level of interleukin-17 in the ovariectomy group was higher than that in the sham operation group, but the level in the gingival tissue showed no significant difference between the two groups. These results indicate that estrogen deficiency after ovariectomy can activate nuclear factor-κB signal pathway to play a role in periodontal osteolysis. However interleukin-17 in the local periodontal tissue may not be a key cytokine to damage the periodontal tissue.
