Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of arsenic trioxide(ATO) plus vitamin K2(VK2) on proliferation of HL-60 cells from acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line and explore the possible mechanism.Methods ①HL-60 cells were exposed to ATO(0.0,0.5,1.0,2.0,4.0 μmol/L),VK2(0.0,2.5,5.0,10.0,20.0μmol/L),or both of different concentrations (0.5 μmol/L ATO + 2.5 μmol/L VK2,1.0 μmol/L ATO + 5.0μmol/L VK2,2.0 μmol/L ATO + 10.0 μmol/L VK2,4.0 μmol/L ATO + 20.0 μmol/L VK2) for 24,48 or 72 h,respectively.The method of CCK-8 was used to assess the proliferation of HL-60 cells and the half inhibitory concentration(IC50) of ATO or VK2 was calculated,respectively.②Combination index (CI) was used to evaluate the combinative effect of the two treatments:CI ＜ 1,=1 or ＞ 1 indicated synergistic,additive,or antagonistic effect,respectively.③After HL-60 cells were treated with 1.0 μmol/L ATO or 5.0 μmol/L VK2 individually or simultaneously for 48 h,Annnexin V/PI staining was performed to identify the apoptosis rate of each group.Untreated cells were used as control group.Results ①ATO or VK2 alone inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells in a concentration and time dependent manner.The IC50 of ATO or VK2 at time of 24,48,72 h were (22.86 ± 2.44),(6.66 ± 0.34),(4.14 ± 0.41) and (18.40 ± 1.12),(13.48 ± 0.73),(8.95 ± 0.40) μmol/L,respectively; ②The combination of ATO and VK2 illustrated a synergistic effect with CI ＜ 1.③No statistical difference was found among control group [(4.38 ± 0.56)％],1.0 μmol/L ATO group [(5.76 ± 1.63)％] and 5.0 μmol/L VK2 group [(6.38 ± 1.42)％] in the apoptosis rate(all P ＞ 0.05).However,the apoptosis rate of combined group did rise to (44.18 ± 8.42)％,with a significant improvement to that of VK2 or ATO group alone (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The combination of VK2 and ATO exhibits an enhanced synergistical inhibitive effect on proliferation of HL-60 cells,and apoptosis may be involved in this synergy in part.

Objective To investigate the effects of lead exposure on rat placental apoptosis during different periods of pregnancy. Methods All Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups with 27 for each group with the sex ratio of 2 : 1 (female : male).The groups with lead exposure consumed water with 0. 025％ lead acetate during the entire, early or late period of pregnancy. Controls were given distilled water without lead.Blood lead levels were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry at the end of pregnancy. Placental apoptosis were assessed by both Hoechst staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) assay. Data were assessed by one-way analysis of variance, and differences between groups were compared by q-test. ResultsBlood lead levels at the end of pregnancy of the groups with lead exposure (entire, early or late pregnancy) and the control group were (1. 74±0. 19) μmol/L,(1.27±0.26) μmol/L, (0.60±0. 11) μmol/L and (0.04±0.01) μmol/L respectively(F= 12. 10,P＜0.01).In the groups with lead exposure, Hoechst staining showed hyperchromatic nuclei in placental trophoblast apoptotic cells and compact fluorescent particles in some nucleus； TUNEL assay showed brown-staining apoptotic cells nuclei with some nuclei particles staining brown. Two assays showed the same results: the apoptotic index of the groups with lead exposure were higher than that of the control group; the apoptosis index of the group with lead exposure during entire pregnancy was higher than that of the group with lead exposure during early and late pregnancy (P ＜ 0. 05).ConclusionsLead exposure during pregnancy could elevate the blood levels of lead and the degree of placental apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the characteristics and prognosis of intra-aortic balloown pump (IABP) supported percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) complicated with cardiogenic shock (CS).Methods 197 ACS patients complicated with CS patients received IABP supported PCI in Beijing Anzhen hospital from January 2014 to December 2015 were involved.According to the clinical results, all patients were divided into survival group and non-survival group.The clinical and laboratory parameters were compared between groups.Results Among the 197 patients enrolled, there were 162 patients in the survival group and 35 patients in the non-survival group.The mean age was (57.3±14.7) year-old, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) on admission was (53.3±14.6) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa).Percentage of diabetes comorbidity, cTnI level, oxygen index and MAP were significantly different between the survival and the non-survival groups (P<0.05).The symptom onset to balloon time and door-to-balloon time intervals were found delayed with significant difference in the non-survival group compared to the survival group (P<0.05).IABP improved hemodynamic parameters including blood pressure, cardiac function and oxygen index (P<0.05) in both groups.Duration of vasopressor usage, IABP implantation, percentage of invasive mechanical ventilation, length of stay in intensive care unit, acute kidney injury (AKI) and re-infarction were also significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Adverse events risk is higher in ACS patients complicated with cordiogenic shock requiring IABP support for PCI.Patients with mortal outcomes are older, comorbid with diabetes mellitus and history of myocardial infarction and higher event rates of re-infarction and acute kidney injury during hospitalization.Intensive care should be implemented to reduce the incidence of adverse events.

ABSTRACT:Objective To explore the risk factors for maternal adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods An unmatched case-control study based on hospital was performed.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the related factors of maternal adverse pregnancy outcomes,including general condition,history of fertility,abnormal symptoms and diseases during pregnancy.Results Univariate analysis results showed that high education level of gravida might be the protective factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes.The risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcome might include advanced maternal age,intensive workload,frequent pregnancy,history of spontaneous abortion,severe morning sickness,and sickness during pregnancy or progestation.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high education level of gravida (OR=0.63,95% CI:0.50-0.80)was the protective factor of adverse pregnancy outcomes;severe morning sickness (OR=2 .1 3 ,9 5% CI:1 .6 3-2 .7 9 )and sickness during progestation (OR=2.25,95% CI:1.06-4.77)were the risk factors for maternal adverse pregnancy outcomes.Conclusion The level of maternal education should be improved.We should attach great importance to preventive education and thorough treatment of severe morning sickness. Couples should be encouraged to have physical examination before marriage and pregnancy.Corresponding pregnancy care guidance should be given to pregnant women with different physical conditions so as to effectively reduce the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To investigate the effect of split-bolus spectral computed tomography(CT) on the portal venography and radiation dose.Methods The prospective study was adopted.The clinical data of 119 patients who underwent spectral CT at China-Japan Union Hopital from September 2014 to March 2015 were collected.Patients were randomly divided into the portal venography with split-bolus spectral CT single-phase enhanced scan group and portal vein multi-phase scan group by random sequence method.In the portal venography with split-bolus spectral CT single-phase enhanced scan group,the spectral CT was used with the method of split-bolus single phase imaging,and in the portal vein multi-phase scan group,standard spiral CT was used to perform three-phase scan.Two observers evaluated CT portal venography subjectively and objectively,measured CT values,contrast to noise ratio (CNR),signal noise ratio (SNR),and calculated radiation dose.Observed indices included (1) choice of optimal monochromatic images.(2) CT values of portal veins,measurement of CNR and SNR.(3) Subjective scoring of portal venography quality.(4) Comparison of radiation dose.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s,comparison between groups was analyzed by independent sample t test.Comparison of count data was analyzed by chi-square test.Results The 113 patients were screened for eligibility,including 59 in the portal venography with split-bolus spectral CT single-phase enhanced scan group and 54 in the portal vein multi-phase scan group.(1) Choice of optimal monochromatic images:optimal monochromatic images were abstracted at 60 keV from spectral CT portal venography.(2) CT values of portal veins and measurement of CNR and SNR:the CT values of intrahepatic portal vein,extrahepatic portal vein and branches of portal vein were (319 ± 44) HU,(328 ± 53) HU,(294 ± 45) HU in the reconstructed images at the energy level of 60 keV in the portal venography with split-bolus spectral CT single-phase enhanced scan group and (213 ±41)HU,(228 ±49)HU,(210 ±41)HU in the portal vein multi-phase scan group,with significant differences between the 2 groups(t =8.04,6.34,6.82,P ＜ 0.05).The CNR of intrahepatic portal vein,extrahepatic portal vein and branches of portal vein were 15 ± 5,24 ± 8,22 ± 7 in the portal venography with split-bolus spectral CT single-phase enhanced scan group and 13 ± 4,20 ± 6,19 ± 6 in the portal vein multi-phase scan group,respectively,with no significant difference (t =-1.13,-1.89,-1.51,P ＞ 0.05).The SNR of intrahepatic portal vein,extrahepatic portal vein and branches of portal vein were 31 ± 6,29 ± 6,27 ± 6 in the portal venography with split-bolus spectral CT single-phase enhanced scan group and 29 ± 7,28 ± 9,26 ± 6 in the portal vein multi-phase scan group,respectively,with no significant differences (t =-0.688,0.615,0.600,P ＞ 0.05).(3) Subjective scoring of portal venography quality:the subjective score of image quality of portal venography was 14.3 ± 1.0 in the portal venography with split-bolus spectral CT single-phase enhanced scan group and 12.5 ± 1.8 in the portal vein multi-phase scan group,with a significant difference (t =12.43,P ＜ 0.05).(4) Comparison of radiation dose:the radiation dose was (8.1 ± 1.1)mSv of patients in the portal venography with split-bolus spectral CT single-phase enhanced scan group and (17.4 ± 7.5) mSv in the portal vein multiphase scan group,with a significant difference (t =24.14,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Spectral CT portal vein imaging combined with split-bolus protocol can achieve better manifestations of portal vein and its branches,and reduce radiation dose in the scanning process.
