Leukemia is a kind of cloning disease from malignant hematopoietic stem cells. Its patho-genesis may have relationship with proliferation out of control,dysdiffreentiation and inhibition of apoptosis about leukemia cells. The study confirms that CD44 is expressed in leukemia cells,promoting the occurrence and development of leukemia through participation in cell adhension,proliferation,migration and invasion behavior. In vitro experiment shows that CD44 targeted therapies can effectively kill leukemia cells,and reduce the toxicity to normal tissue cells. Therefore,aiming at the design of the anticancer drugs targeted for CD44 is expected to be used in clinical treatment of leukemia.

AIM: To investigate the effect of PEDF on retinal neovascularization in mice. METHODS: 40 7-day-old C57BL/6J mice was exposed to 750mL/L oxygen for 5 days and then to normal situation to produce the murine model of oxygen-induced retinopathy(OIR). One eye of the mouse was regarded as experimental one and the other served as control. Eyes in experimental group received intravitreal injection of PEDF and eyes in control group received intravitreal injection of PBS at postnatal day 12. All mice were executed at postnatal day 17. The changes of retinal vessels of mice were observed by ADPase histochemical technique. The inhibitory effect of PEDF on retinal neovascularization was evaluated by counting the endotheliocyte nuclei of new vessels which extended from retina to vitreous in the tissue slice of HE staining. RESULTS: Neovascularization was reduced, retinal blood vessels distributed regularly and non-perfusion areas were not found in eyes of experimental group compared with control group. The number of endotheliocyte nuclei of new vessels extending from retina to vitreous was significantly less in the eyes of experimental group (10.18±1.74) than that in control group (38.89±2.98) (P<0.01). Retinal toxicity and inflammatory reactions were not found in tissue slice.CONCLUSION: PEDF inhibits retinal angiogenesis in OIR and the feasibility should be determined for use of PEDF in ocular angiogenesis treatment.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the sufficiency of dialysis and nutri ti onal status of 44 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) with urea metabolic parameters such as TACurea,KT/V and PCR.MethodClinical data were collecte d and analyzed with statistic methods.ResultsTACurea and PCR w ere significantly lower in patients in insufficient dialysis group than those in sufficient dialysis group.There was no statistical difference between the two g roups in terms of KT/V.PCR was not influenced by KT/V in sufficient dialysis gro up,while it was significantly influenced by KT/V in insufficient dialysis group. ConclusionTACurea and PCR are significant indicators to assess whether the blood dialysis is sufficient or not in the long run.KT/V can direct ly indicate the effectiveness of single dialysis.Therefore,it is the best indica tor for adjusting the dialytic strategy.However,it is not important if the dialy sis is not sufficient.

Objective To observe the impact of hemoperfusion on chronic renal failure patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism maintaining hemodialysis.Methods Forty patients with hemodialysis in our hospital were selected and grouped.Single hemodialysis in connection with hemoperfusion(HD+HP)was used in group 1 and single hemodiafiltration(HDF)was used in group 2 to compare the clearance power and clearance rate of blood parathyroid hormone(PTH)and phosphate(P).Results Blood PTH was decreased and blood calcium was increased in patients with chronic renal failure maintaining hemodialysis after HD+HP treatment.Conclusion The clinical osteopathic symptoms of patients are improved after HD+HP treatment,secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with hemodialysis.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the content of netilmicin sulfate in serum by a high performance liquid chromatography-indirect photometric determination (HPLC-IPD) method. METHOD: The chromatographic system consisted of Soheisorb C18 column and mobile phase of a solution of methyl alcohol-a buffer of phosphoric acid (pH=2.0) (20∶80), that contained 0.5 mmolL-1 of nicotinamide and 0.3 mmolL-1 of sodium seventhalkyl-sulphonate. The detected wave length was 268 nm. The serum simple of 4 patients was determined. RESULTS: The mean recovery of was 93.41% and detection limits was 50 μgL-1. CONCLUSION: The method is constant, sensitive, and has a good concentration. It is good for determination of netilmicin sulfate concentration in serum.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive point moxibustion in treating functional dyspepsia. Methods Fifty-six patients with functional dyspepsia were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 28 cases each. The treatment group received heat-sensitive point moxibustion and the control group took domperidone tablets. The symptoms were scored and plasma motilin was measured in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results The total efficacy rate was 89.3% in the treatment group and 82.1% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the symptom score and plasma motilin in the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in the symptom score and plasma motilin between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Heat-sensitive point moxibustion is an effective way to treat functional dyspepsia.

Objective To evaluate the clinical diagnosis,treatment and prognostic factors of kidney clear cell renal carcinoma(KIRC)in international sample database.Methods From 1998 to 2012,consecutive patients with KIRC who diagnosed and treated in TCGA organizations were enrolled.Clinical characteristics,objective response and survival time were evaluated,and correlation analysis with lncRNA urothelial cancer associated 1 (UCA1)gene was performed.Results 512 patients with KIRC were enrolled.35.4% of patients were female,59.6% of stage Ⅰ -Ⅱ, 90.0% of white and 45.1% of grade 1 -2.Comprehensive treatment was consistent with the clinical guidelines. Significant correlation was found between UCA1 expression and 4 mRNA subtype,30 genes mRNA expression, mir -101 -1 expression and PBRM1 mutation.And patients with UCA1 overexpression could achieve poor prognosis. Conclusion Diagnosis and treatment of the international TCGA -KIRC research meets clinical guidelines.UCA1 overexpression is an important poor prognostic factor.Combined with the clinical relevance of other important driver genes,UCA1 may be significantly valuable for further study.

Objective To investigate the expression of lung keratinocyte growth factor receptor (KGFR) in rats with acute spinal cord injury (ASCI) in different time points and its role in lung edema.Methods Thirty-two adult Wistar rats weighing 240 g to 260 g were assigned to experimental group (n =16) and control group (n =16) according to the random number table.Each group consisted of time points of 24 hours,3 days,1 week and 2 weeks after the modeling (4 rats per time point).A rat model of ASCI in experimental group was induced at C7 segment by dropping a weight of 10 g from the height of 2.5 cm (Allen' s method).In control group,laminas were removed only,leaving spinal cord at C7 intact.Rats were sacrificed at each time point for measurement of lung wet/dry weight ratio,Western blot analysis of expression of lung KGFR protein and RT-qPCR detection of lung KGFR mRNA expression.Results After ASCI in rats,the expressions of lung KGFR protein and mRNA began to drop at 24 hours (0.23 ±0.06,0,012 1 ±0.002 3),reached the trough at 3 days (0.17 ±0.04,0.008 5 ±0.001 7)and picked up at 1 week.Expression of lung KGFR mRNA in experiment group showed statistically significant difference from that in control group at 24 hours and 3 days (P ＜ 0.05),whereas in each time point the difference of KGFR protein expression between experiment and control groups was statistically significant(P ＜0.05).Variation trend of KGFR expression was in parallel with the severity degree of pulmonary edema.Conclusion Lung KGFR presents significant down-regulation in ASCI rats and this may be associated with the development of pulmonary edema after ASCI.

Objective To detect the clinical features and prognostic factors of nasal cavity malignancy with breast metastasis.Methods 846 Patients with nasal cavity malignancy from January 1999 to December 2011 were enrolled,the clinical and pathological features,clinical diagnostic methods and prognostic factors for breast metastasis patients were analyzed.Results Six female cases (median age 25) were diagnosed with breast metastasis,including 3 rhabdomyosarcoma and 3 olfactory neuroblastoma; consisting 0.7％ of the total 846 cases of primary nasal malignancy group.The metastasis were more likely to be multiple breast lesions with/without metastasis in other site.For the primary tumor,five patients received 66-72 Gy/30-33f of radical radiotherapy,one patient with rest rhabdomyosarcoma received 58 Gy of palliative radiation since breast metastasis was found after 14 Gy of radiation and breast mass resection were performed right after.For the breast metastasis,five of 6 patients received breast surgery,one patients with olfactory neuroblastoma received 6 cycles cyclophosphamide + adriamycin + vincristine chemotherapy.Median survival was 12.7 months.Conclusions For nasal cavity malignancy,breast metastasis more likely occur in younger female patients.Ultrasound may provide useful information in evaluating breast metastasis.Cases combined with metastasis except breast have unfavorable prognosis.
