Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT) is one of the measures therapy on acute leukemia in children.Very-high-risk children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL),such as Philadelphia chromosome-positive(Ph+),T cell immunophenotype,achieved the first complete remission(CR1),and then receive allogeneic HSCT(allo-HSCT).The transplantation group had significantly improved disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS) compared with chemotherapy group. ALL children in the second complete remission(CR2) were recommended to receive allo-HSCT,especially early-relapse group. All children in the third complete remission (CR3) were recommended to receive an allo-HSCT,and reduce replapse rate through inducing graft versus leukemia.Total body irradiation-based conditioning regimens in children with ALL has advantage over chemotherapy conditioning regimens.Children with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) achieved CR1 and then undergo all-HSCT.This group had significantly improved DFS and OS compared with chemotherapy group.The children with relapsed AML,if having suitable donor,were recommended to receive allo-HSCT. The children with AML who underwent transplantation relapse,and can receive the second transplantation.There was no advantage in children patients with AML using TBI-based conditioning regimens.Conditioning regimens consisted of high-dose cytarabine,in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor has advantage,and improve DFS. Unrelated umbilical cord blood has emerged as a potential option.Compared with unrelated bone marrow transplantation,there was no different in DFS and relapse.For the extent,it is one of the donor hematopoietic stem cell sources.

Objective: To explore therapeutic effect of carvedilol combined valsartan on chronic heart failure (CHF), and its influence on cardiac function and level of high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP).Methods: A total of 78 CHF patients, who were treated in our hospital from Jul 2011 to Jul 2015, were selected.According to therapeutic method, they were divided into valsartan group (n=38, received valsartan based on routine treatment) and combined treatment group (n=40, received carvedilol based on valsartan group).Therapeutic effect, cardiac function, serum hsCRP level and quality of life (QOL) score before and after treatment were observed and compared between two groups.Results: Total effective rate of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of valsartan group (92.50% vs.71.05%), P=0.022.Compared with before treatment, there were significant reductions in heart rate, cardiothoracic ratio (C/T), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd) and serum hsCRP level, and significant rise in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), emotional index, health index and life satisfaction score in both groups after treatment except C/T of valsartan group, P<0.01 all;compared with valsartan group after treatment, there were significant reductions in heart rate [(124.39±10.07) beats/min vs.(101.18±8.72) beats/min], C/T [(0.63±0.15) vs.(0.53±0.12)], LVEDd [(43.32±4.02)mm vs.(40.38±3.76)mm] and serum hsCRP level [(32.12±3.99) pg/ml vs.(10.29±2.08) pg/ml], and significant rise in LVEF [(45.59±9.99)% vs.(59.97±10.02)%], LVFS [(24.58±5.67)% vs.(31.89±6.68)%], scores of emotional index [(70.20±10.02) scores vs.(86.58±12.28) scores], health index [(73.36±8.08) scores vs.(85.58±11.01) scores] and life satisfaction [(74.34±8.39) scores vs.(88.12±13.35) scores] in combined treatment group,P<0.05 or <0.01.Conclusion: Carvedilol combined valsartan possesses significant therapeutic effect on chronic heart failure.It can significantly reduce hsCRP level, improve cardiac function and quality of life in these patients, which is worth extending.

Objective To investigate the effects of interleukin-17 (IL-17) on the cell proliferation, apoptosis and migration of human laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells.Methods IL-17 was transiently transfected into Hep-2 cells, and at the same time empty vector group (pEGFP-N1) and normal control group were set up.The efficiency of transfection was evaluated by fluorescence microscope, and the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-17 were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting.The proliferation of cells was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method, and the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.The migration ability was detected by wound-healing assay and Transwell assay.ResultsHep-2 cells transfected with empty vector pEGFP-N1 and IL-17 showed green fluorescence under the fluorescence microscope.Hep-2 cells expressed IL-17 at both mRNA and protein levels after transfection with IL-17.Compared with the normal control group, the proliferation of IL-17 transfected Hep-2 cells was significantly inhibited after 48 h transfection (0.34±0.03 vs.0.46±0.04, P=0.006).The apoptotic rate of IL-17 transfected cells was higher than that of normal control group (26.80%±0.80% vs.2.90%±0.31%, P=0.000).According to the wound-healing assay, compared with the normal control group, the scratch width of IL-17 transfected cells was significantly greater (1.59±0.01 vs.1.36±0.01, P=0.000).Transwell migration experiment showed that the migration of IL-17 transfected cells was significantly lower than that of the normal control group (26.33±2.08 vs.49.33±1.53, P=0.000).Conclusion IL-17 can inhibit the proliferation of human laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells, reduce their migration ability and enhance their apoptosis ability.Therefore, IL-17 may inhibit the occurrence and development of laryngeal carcinoma through a variety of mechanisms.
