OBJECTIVETo detect the expression levels of Livin and Caspase-3 proteins in diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and to explore its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics, so as to provide a reference for clinical treatment and evaluation prognosis of DLBCL.
METHODSImmunohisto-chemical staining was performed to detect the expression of Livin and Caspase-3 in the samples from 51 DLBCL patients and 20 patients with reactive hyperplasia of lymph node (RHL). The relation between Livin and Caspase-3 with the factors influencing the prognosis of DLBCL was analyzed.
RESULTSLivinwas not expressed in the tissues of RHL, but its expression rates reached to 58.82%(30/51) in 51 cases of DLBCL(P<0.05). The expression rats of Caspase-3 in DLBCL and RHL were 25.49%(13/51) and 85.0%(17/20) respectively, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The expression level of Livin in DLBCL tissues was related with clinical stage and pathological type(P<0.01, P<0.01). The expression of Livin was not obviously related with sex, age and extranodal involvement. The expression level of Caspase-3 in DLBCL tissues was related with clinical stage (P<0.05). The expression of Caspase-3 was not obviously related with sex, age, pathological type and extranodal involvement. There was a negative correlation between Livin and Caspase-3 in DLBCL(γ=-0.333,P=0.017). Kaplan-meier survival analysis revealed that the expressions of Livin and Caspase-3 were related stalistically significantly with the patients prognosis (P<0.01, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONOver-expression of Livin in DLBCL and DLBCL of non-GCB subtypes, and low-expression of Caspase-3 in DLBCL may play a significant role in clinical prognosis of DLBCL.

6.New progress in the study of retinitis pigmentosa
International Eye Science 2020;20(4):628-630
Retinitis pigmentosa(RP)was known as pigmentation retinitis even. RP is a group of hereditary eye diseases that cause irreversible visual impairment due to progressive loss of function of retinal pigment epithelial cells and progressive apoptosis of photoreceptors. Because of its heterogeneity in phenotype and heredity and complex pathogenesis, there is currently no single effective treatment. This article mainly elaborates on the progress in the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa in recent years.

Objective:
The aim of this study was to update the epidemic situation of dengue fever (DF) and provide new insights for the consideration of disease control in Fujian province, China.
Methods:
Details about DF cases in Fujian reported during 2004-2017 were collected and analyzed. The envelope (E) genes of isolates of dengue virus (DENV) were sequenced for phylogenetic analysis.
Results:
The number of imported DF cases had increased dramatically since 2013, and the source regions expanded from Southeast Asia to South Asia, America, Oceania, and Africa, as well as the surrounding provinces. This resulted in local outbreaks and indigenous cases of DF that occurred more frequently, with 10 of 13 local outbreaks and 85.9% (1,252/1,458) of indigenous cases reported in 2013-2017. Compared with only two coastal cities before 2013, four coastal and one inland city in 2013-2017 experienced the local DF outbreaks. The phylogenetic analysis of E genes confirmed that the import of DENV, not only from abroad but also from the surrounding provinces, played an important role in dissemination and local outbreaks of DF in Fujian.
Conclusions
The frequent import of DF cases from not only abroad but also the surrounding provinces resulted in increased incidence, frequent local outbreaks, and expansion of distribution in Fujian in recent years. There is a need for urgent measures to improve disease control in this province.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of a novel emodin derivative E19 on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction of human chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cell line K562 and imatinib-resistant CML cell line (K562/G01), and to clarify the involved mechanisms.
METHODSMTT and colony formation test were used to detect the cell proliferation. Apoptotic induction effects were examined by DAPI staining method and DNA ladder assay. Western blot was performed to detect the changes of P210(Bcr-Abl) protein.
RESULTSThe emodin derivative E19 could efficiently inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in K562 and K562/G01 cells. IC50 of K562 cells and IC50 of K562/G01 cells were (1.20 ± 0.19) µmol/L and (1.22 ± 0.16) µmol/L, respectively. DNA fragmentation in K562 cells and K562/G01 cells confirmed that the E19 induced apoptosis in dose-dependent manner. Western blot showed that emodin derivative inhibited phosphorylation of P210 protein in K562 cells and K562/G01 cells and down-regulated the expression level of P210 in dose- and time-dependent manners.
CONCLUSIONThe emodin derivative E19 can efficiently inhibit growth and induce apoptosis of K562 cells and K562/G01 cells, while the inhibition of phosphorylation of P210 protein and down-regulation of P210 protein expression may be involved in these processes.

BACKGROUND:
Microglia plays an indispensable role in the pathological process of sleep deprivation (SD). Here, the potential role of microglial CX3C-chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) in modulating the cognition decline during SD was evaluated in terms of microglial neuroinflammation and synaptic pruning. In this study, we aimed to investigat whether the interference in the microglial function by the CX3CR1 knockout affects the CNS's response to SD.
METHODS:
Middle-aged wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 and CX3CR1-/- mice were either subjected to SD or allowed normal sleep (S) for 8 h to mimic the pathophysiological changes of middle-aged people after staying up all night. After which, behavioral and histological tests were used to explore their different changes.
RESULTS:
CX3CR1 deficiency prevented SD-induced cognitive impairments, unlike WT groups. Compared with the CX3CR1-/- S group, the CX3CR1-/- SD mice reported a markedly decreased microglia and cellular oncogene fos density in the dentate gyrus (DG), decreased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and decreased microglial phagocytosis-related factors, whereas increased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus and a significant increase in the density of spines of the DG were also noted.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest that CX3CR1 deficiency leads to different cerebral behaviors and responses to SD. The inflammation-attenuating activity and the related modification of synaptic pruning are possible mechanism candidates, which indicate CX3CR1 as a candidate therapeutic target for the prevention of the sleep loss-induced cognitive impairments.
