Objective To explore the effect of sodium butyrate(NaB) on phosphorylation/ acetylation of histone H3(ph/acH3) at G?-globin gene and A?-globin gene promoter regions in K562 cells.Methods K562 cells were devided into 2 groups:K562 cells were grown in the presence or absence of 0.5 mmol?L-1NaB for 48 h [K562(NaB) group] and untreated K562 cells group(K562 group).Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was employed to measure the levels of G?-globin mRNA and A?-globin mRNA.The real time PCR-based chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP) was used to detect the levels of ph/acH3 at G?-globin gene and A?-globin gene promoter regions.Results Compared with the K562 group,there was a 1.4-fold(t=-149.022,P=0.000) and 1.2-fold(t=-13.363,P=0.000) increase in G?-globin mRNA and A?-globin mRNA,respectively,in K562(NaB) group.The level of ph/acH3 at G?-globin gene and A?-globin gene promoter region increased by 2.9-fold(t=-12.833,P=0.006) and 3.2-fold(t=-10.484,P=0.000),respectively,in K562(NaB) group,compared with the K562 group.The %Input value of G?-globin and A?-globin promoter fragment was 10.0-fold(P=0.000) and 9.5-fold(P=0.000) higher than that value of Necdin gene promoter fragment in the K562(NaB) group,while the %Input value of G?-globin and A?-globin promoter fragment was 3.2-fold(P=0.000) and 2.7-fold(P=0.000) higher than that value of necdin gene promoter fragment in K562 group.Conclusions NaB improves the phosphorylation and acetylation of H3 at ?-globin gene promoter regions,and this may be one of the mechanisms of expression of ?-globin genes induced by NaB.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome and relative factors of intervention treatment for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis in elderly patients.Methods The clinical data of 79 patients diagnosed as atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis by angiography and treated by revascularization were analyzed.Results There were 55(69.6%)successes and 24(30.4%)failures in decreasing blood pressure and 28(35.4%)successes and 51(64.6%)failures in improving renal function after intervention treatment.Predictors of favorable outcome of intervention treatment in decreasing blood pressure were related to lower urine protein,higher glomerular filtration rate,higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure before treatment,lower resistance index(RI)of renal artery,and no complication of cerebral vascular diseases.Predictors of favorable outcome of intervention treatment in improving renal function were related with percentage of angiographic stenosis,category of antihypertension and lower urine protein.The logistic regression analysis showed that the percentage of angiographic stenosis was the most important predictor of intervention treatment for blood pressure control,age and level of serum creatinine before intervention treatment were the most important predictors of intervention treatment for improving renal faction.Conclusion Percentage of stenosis(≥85%),age(133 ?mol/L)can be used as the predictors of therapeutic success for renovascular stenosis in older patients.

?AlM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis ( PCCC ) combined with anterior vitrectomy in preventing posterior capsule opacification of congenital cataract surgery.
?METHODS:Postoperative clinical follow-up data of 82 cases ( 87 eyes ) with congenital cataract treated in Eye Center of our hospital from January 2011 to August 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the surgical control group ( 38 cases, 40 eyes, recieved phacoemulsification + PCCC ) and the study group ( 44 cases, 47 eyes, accepted phacoemulsification+ PCCC + anterior vitrectomy). The incidence of central optic axis opaque and postoperative visual acuity distribution were recorded at 1a follow - up. lntraoperative and postoperative complications were observed.
?RESULTS:The rate of central optic axis opaque grade 0 in control group was 37. 5%, compared to 76. 6% in study groups. The opacity distribution ratio of grade 1,2,3 and 4 in study group were lower than that of control group, and the central optic axis opacity distribution ratio in study group was significantly better than that of control group (P<0. 05). The 19 eyes(47. 5%) of visual acuity testing ≤0. 5 in control group , was higher than the 7 eyes(14. 89%) of that in the study group, The 21 eyes (52. 5%) of visual acuity testing >0. 5 in control group was lower than the 40 eyes ( 85. 11%) of that in study group. The visual acuity between two groups has statistical significance difference after 1a follow-up ( P<0. 05 ) , and the visual acuity in study group was significantly better than that in the control group. The postoperative intraocular pressure at 1mo and 1a follow-up was lower than before operation in two groups ( P<0. 05), but there was no significant difference between two groups in intraocular pressure (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: Combination of phacoemulsification, PCCC and anterior vitrectomy presents reliable clinical effects on postoperative central optic axis opacity distribution ratio and visual acuity, and it should be adopted to prevent the occurrence of posterior capsule opacification.

Objective To compare genomic expression differences between androgenic complete hydatidiform mole (AnCHM) and normal first trimester villi with similar gestation weeks,and search for potential adjuvant diagnostic molecular markers.Methods Short tandem repeat (STR) detection was used to identify AnCHM,human oligonucleotide array U133 Plus 2.0 was used to measure genomic expression differences between AnCHM and normal villi,and quantitative fluorescent RT-PCR was used to verify array of several genes.Results Nine of 11 histologically diagnosed complete hydatidiform moles were found to be AnCHM by means of STR,and the other 2 were biparental complete hydatidifonn mole (BiCHM). Compared with villi,oligonueleotide array showed 279 genes (0.72%,279/38 500) were over expressed and 1710 genes (4.44%,1710/38 500) under expressed in AnCHM.Bioinformatics analysis found that differentially expressed genes were involved in multiple biological processes and pathways.Changes of imprinting genes,growth hormone genes and chorionie somatomammotropin hormone genes were especially remarkable.Conclusions Pathogenesis of AnCHM is a complex process involving multiple genes and pathways.Altered expression of imprint genes may play important roles in the process.

Objective To retrospectivel y analyze the abdominal CT findings and pathological results of the chronic schist osomiasis so as to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the disease. M ethods The plain abdominal CT scanning was performed in 103 cases an d enhanced CT scanning in 81 cases. The pathological specimen which was consist ent with the section of CT scan was obtained in each cases. Results On CT scanning, liver cirrhosis was seen in 84 cases, various calci fication in liver in 71 cases, liver cancer in 12 cases, enlargement of sple en in 78 cases, calcification in spleen in 13 cases, wall-thickening in colon i n 27 cases, calcification in colon in 31 cases, and colon cancer in 9 cases. Pa thological examination revealed various fibrosis and formation of pseudolobule. The eggs and calcification could be seen in pseudolobule and septa, colonic sub mucosa, and regional lymph nodes. Fibrous hyperplasia in colonic wall and hyper plasia in mucous membrane were obvious. Fibrous hyperplasia and calcification w ere seen in spleen, but the eggs were not found. Conclusion The liver and colon are the major organs affected by chronic schistosomias is in abdomen, and the CT findings are obvious too. The pathological features o f spleen are accompanied with liver cirrhosis. CT is the important imaging meth od in diagnosing chronic schistosomiasis and pathological changes.
