Objective To study the quantification of MDR1 and WT1 gene expression in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia(AML)and to explore the role of these two genes in clinical drug resistance and their correlation with risk stratification. Methods A real time quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction method was established for detecting MDR1 and WT1 gene expression levels in 63 de novo AML patients.Resuits The expression of WT1 and MDR1 was significantly higher in de novo AML patients than in normal controls (P<0.001).WT1 levels were significantly correlated with corresponding levels of MDR1 gene in de novo AML patients(P=0.004).Expression levels of WT1 and MDR1 gene were not associated with FAB subtype and risk stratication(P>0.05).AML patients with FLT3-ITD mutations had a significantly higher WT1 expression level as compared to with those without(P<0.05),on the contrary MDR1 expression was not associated with FLT3-ITD mutations(P>0.05).Patients with co-expression of high levels of WT1 and MDR1 had a significantly lower complete remission rate after induction therapy than those with low levels(P<0.05).Conclusion There is a positive correlation between MDR1 gene expression and WT1 gene expression in AML.Quantification of the two gene expression together is more effective for judgement of prognosis in AML.

In 1989, Fitz defined and classified severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and he thought that surgical treatment of SAP is feasible. Since then, the strategy of treating SAP was a controversial issue over past decades. Currently, relevant literatures reported that medical or minimally invasive treatments are superior to surgical treatment, while it is too early to make the final conclusion because of the complexity of SAP. From 1989 to 2008, 1852 patients with acute pancreatitis were treated at the General Hospital of PLA, and the clinical data of 18 patients who died of SAP were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the analysis, we concluded that medical conservative therapy and surgical operative therapy should not be opposed to each other. Selecting ideal timing and appropriate operation on the basis of pathological changes of retroperitoneum and pancreatitis should be considered seriously, and the new concept of "miniaturization of trauma" should also be introduced in treating SAP.

Objective Infected pancreatic necrosis is a serious complication of necrotizing pancreatitis. A method of minimally-invasive retroperitoneal infected pancreatic necrosectomy using percutaneous nephroscope was evaluated. Methods 21 patients with acute pancreatitis were treated in our hospital from June 2008 to August 2009. Among 13 patients who developed infected pancreatic necrosis, 6 underwent percutaneous catheter drainage by CT guidance. Then retroperitoneal infected pancreatic necrostectomy using percutaneous nephroscope along the sinus tract were performed after drainage for 5-36 d. Results In these 6 patients, 3 received percutaneous nephroscopic treatment one time, 2 two times and 1 three times. There were no operative mortality and morbidity except that 1 patient developed pseudocyst 6 months after operation. Conclusion Retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy by percutaneous nephroscope is a safe, feasible, minimally-invasive and efficient method for treating infected pancreatic necrosis when the indication and occasion are suitable. This method would be a valid therapeutic option for treating necrotizing pancreatitis. However, further evaluation is necessary.

Background: Studies have shown that abnormal expression of circular RNA (circRNA) is closely related to the development, progress and prognosis of a variety of tumors, and is an ideal diagnostic indicator and therapeutic target. However, the role of circRNA in the development and progress of pancreatic cancer needs to be further explored. Aims: To investigate the expression of circ-RANBP1 in pancreatic cancer tissue and its effect on pancreatic cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Methods: The expression of circ-RANBP1 in pancreatic cancer tissue and normal para-cancerous tissue was detected by in situ hybridization. MIA PaCa-2 cells and SW 1990 cells were cultured, and transfected with knockdown oligomer and overexpressed plasmid of circ-RANBP1, respectively, and corresponding control groups were served. Expression of circ-RANBP1 in pancreatic cancer cells was detected by qRT-PCR. EdU method was used to detect the effect of circ-RANBP1 on cell proliferation. Transwell assay was used to detect the effect of circ-RANBP1 on cell migration and invasion. Western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to detect the effect of circ-RANBP1 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Angiogenesis assay was used to explore the effect of circ-RANBP1 on angiogenesis ability. Results: The expression of circ-RANBP1 was significantly increased in pancreatic cancer tissue when compared with paired normal tissues, and was closely associated with poor prognosis of patients. Circ-RANBP1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation of MIA PaCa-2 cells, while overexpression of circ-RANBP1 promoted the proliferation of SW 1990 cells. Compared with control group, circ-RANBP1 knockdown suppressed the migration and invasion of MIA PaCa-2 cells, and overexpression of circ-RANBP1 promoted the migration and invasion of SW 1990 cells. Knockdown of circ-RANBP1 could inhibit EMT, while circ-RANBP1 overexpression showed opposite effect. Inhibition of circ-RANBP1 significantly reduced angiogenesis, while overexpression of circ-RANBP1 significantly enhanced angiogenesis. Conclusions: Circ-RANBP1 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissue, and can promote the proliferation, migration, invasion, EMT and angiogenesis of pancreatic cancer cells.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1) in endothelial dysfunction induced by high glucose.
METHODSHuman aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were incubated in the presence of 5.6 or 30 mmol/L glucose for 24-72 h with or without a 2-h pretreatment with the LXR agonist 22(R)-hydroxycholesterol. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to measure the mRNA and protein expressions of ABCG1; the intracellular cholesterol efflux and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity were measured by scintillation counting.
RESULTSHigh glucose time-dependently suppressed ABCG1 expression and cholesterol efflux to HDL in HAECs. High glucose also decreased eNOS activity. ABCG1 down-regulation induced by high glucose, along with decreased cholesterol efflux and eNOS activity, was abolished by treatment of the cells with the LXR agonist.
CONCLUSIONEndothelial dysfunction induced by high glucose is associated with decreased ABCG1 expression.
