Objective To explore molecular mechanism of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and secretion of VEGF protein in HL-60 cells induced by all-trans refinoic acid (ATRA). Methods MTr method was used to detect the proliferation of HL-60 cells induced by ATRA,cell cycle and CD11b expression in HL-60 cells were detected by flow cytometry. Expression of VEGF, c-myc, by-poxia-inducible factor(HIF)-lα, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and MMP-2 mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. VEGF protein in HL-60 cells culture supernatant was measured by ELISA before and after being induced by ATRA. Results After treatment with ATRA,the proliferation of HL-60 cells was obviously inhibited, CD11b expression increased, trend of granulocyte directional differentiation emerged, and differentiation degree was increasd(P <0. 05) ;expression level of c-my and VEGF mRNA was down-regulated (P < 0. 05), but expression level of HIF-1α mRNA was up-regulated (P < 0. 05). VEGF protein level in HL-60 cells culture supernatant was decreased by blocking the expression of MMP-9 or MMP-2(P <0. 05).Conclusion VEGF expression has positive correlation with c-myc expression,but has negative correlation with HIF-1α expression. MMP-9 and MMP-2 may be the main factors regulating VEGF secretion in HL-60 cells.

Objective To study the molecular mechanism of different sensitivities to apoptosis induced by low concentration of As2O3 in PML-RARα negative HL-60 cells and PML-RARα positive NB4 cells. Meth-ods NB4 and HL-60 cells were cultured with As2O3 for 1 to 4 days; cell proliferation were detected by MTT method; the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,Bcl-2,Bax and Fas mRNA were determined by RT-PCR. Results The proliferation of NB4 cells was inhibited obviously by As2O3(1.0 μmol/L)with the induction of apoptosis( P <0.05) ,which was accompanied by the down-regulation of Bcl-2 mRNA expression( P <0.05)and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax(P <0.05), but there was no obvious variation of Bax and Fas expression( P >0.05). Inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis were not obvious in PML-RARα negative HL-60 cells induced by low concentration As2O3 ( P >0.05), and there was no obvious variation of Bcl-2, Bax, Fas mRNA expres-sion or Bcl/Bax ratio( P >0.05). Conclusion The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax is contributed to the different sensitiv-ities of PML-RARα negative HL-60 cells and positive NB4 cells induced by low concentration of As2O3.

OBJECTIVETo explore the procedural feasibility and early clinical outcomes of percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (PBAV) in patients with severe aortic stenosis, who were considered transiently unsuitable for surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
METHODSBetween March 2011 and January 2014, datas of 20 patients underwent PBAV in Fuwai Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Mean patients age was (72 ± 8) years.Initial procedural and clinical outcomes were evaluated.
RESULTSPBAV was successfully performed in all cases. Post-procedure, aortic valve area increased from (0.55 ± 0.09) m(2) to (0.77 ± 0.15) m(2)(P < 0.001), left ventricle ejection fraction from (31.7 ± 9.0) % to (39.0 ± 11.0) % (P = 0.018), mean transaortic valve gradient decreased from (49.5 ± 15.0) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) to (31.7 ± 12.0) mmHg (P < 0.001), and pulmonary artery systolic pressure decreased from (55.1 ± 18.0) mmHg to (38.7 ± 11.0) mmHg (P = 0.025) . There was no significant change in the aortic regurgitation grade (P = 0.854). The most common complications were hypotension (n = 4) and transient left bundle branch block (n = 5). Overall 24-hour and 30-day mortality was 5% (n = 1) and 15% (n = 3), respectively. Within 30 days after PBAV procedure, five patients underwent successful sAVR, one patient underwent TAVR, and five patients awaited TAVR.
CONCLUSIONIn high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis and temporary contraindication to sAVR or TAVR, PBAV can be safely used as a bridging intervention procedure and the short-term procedural and clinic outcomes are satisfactory.

Objective To prove the feasibility of a Fogging Process in fixing high-concentration radioactive aerosol 131I contamination. Methods High-concentration radioactive aerosol 131I contamination in an 131I-operating glovebox for radiopharmaceutical production was disposed by using fogging and fixing process. The aerosol 131I concentrations were detected and the results were analyzed. Results After a 120 minutes fixing, the 131I contamination in this glovebox reduced from(289 ± 9) DAC and (304 ± 6) DAC to (21.7 ± 2.0) DAC and (26.2 ± 1.8) DAC. After a 180 minutes fixing, the 131I contamination in this glovebox reduced from (259 ± 10) DAC to (1.80 ± 0.18) DAC. These results showed that no aerosol 131I contamination was raised again after 24-hours finishing this task. Conclusion Aerosol 131I concentration in a limited space could be controlled by using a fogging and fixing process, which could reduce the risk of internal exposure of staff. This process could be used by radiopharmaceutical production as an emergency management for dispose high-concentration radioactive aerosol 131I contamination.
