BACKGROUND: Uncontrolled-rate freezing in -80 ℃ refrigerator is convenient, while controlled-rate freezing in -196 ℃ liquid nitrogen is reliable and long-term, the combination of the two can simplify the process and has been successfully used in clinics. OBJECTIVE: To explore the influences of different cryoprotectants by ladder-style freezing from -80 ℃ low temperature refrigerator to liquid nitrogen on the cryopreservation of hemopoietic stem cells. METHODS: The experiments were divided into four groups: 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group, 5% DMSO combined with 3% hydroxyethyl starch group, 5% DMSO combined with 0.25 mol/L trehalose group, 5% DMSO combined with 3% hydroxyethyl starch and 0.25 mol/L trehalose group. Peripheral hemopoietic stem cells were cryopreserved by ladder-style freezing from -80 ℃ low temperature refrigerator to liquid nitrogen. The ultrastructural changes were examined by transmission electron microscopy, the expressions of Annexin-V, PI and Caspase-3 were detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in survival rate, apoptotic rate and necrotic rates of the cryopreserved cells in the four groups (P > 0.05). The ultrastructural changes had no significant difference under the transmission electron microscopy. The viability was more than 90% in frozen-thawed mononuclear cell colonies, and the apoptosis was roughly 50% in the frozen-thawed CD45+ cell population, which contained many mature cells. Of hemopoietic stem cells, early stage cells have greater resistance to damage of cryopreservation than late stage cells. It is concluded that the addition of hydroxyethyl starch or trehalose into DMSO exhibits no synergistic protective effect on the cryopreservation of hemopoietic stem cells.

Objective To explore the correlation between polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene and hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDP) in Chinese people.Methods The 21 case-control studies on the correlation between polymorphism of ACE gene (genotype DD,DI,Ⅱ) and HDP in Chinese people were analyzed by meta-analysis.The analysis was performed on Review Manager 4.2 software.According to the result of test for heterogeneity,the random effects model was used to calculate the pooled OR value and 95% CI.Results Twenty-one case-control studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis,a total of 1486 HDP cases and 1758 controls were included.The pooled OR values (95% CI) of DD,DI,Ⅱ genotypes of ACE gene polymorphism for HDP risk were 2.60 (1.84-3.67),0.98 (0.76-1.27) and 0.46 (0.32-0.65) respectively.Conclusions Genotype Ⅱ of ACE is a protective gene against HDP and genotype DD is a susceptibility gene for HDP.

Objective To explore the value of three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI)in early dectection of left ventricular myocardial dysfunction in patients with breast cancer after receiving Anthracycline.Methods A group of 63 breast cancer postoperative patients were recruited and received a six-cycle epirubicin-based chemotherapy.Electrocardiogram,conventional echocardiography and 3D-STI parameters were measured before chemotherapy and during 24-48 hours after the cumulative dose of 120 mg/m2 ,240 mg/m2 and 360 mg/m2 .The receiver operating characteristics (ROC ) curves of 3D-STl parameters,such as global area strain(GAS),global longitudinal strain(GLS),global circumferential strain (GCS),and global radial strain(GRS)were drawn to determine optimal sensitivity and specificity.Twenty-one healthy female volunteers served as control subjects.Results Compared with before chemotherapy and control subjects,GAS and GLS were significantly reduced at the cumulative dose of 240 mg/m2 ,360 mg/m2 (P <0.05).The area under ROC of GAS was 0.974,and its optimal cut-off value was -3 1 .5%,with a specificity of 87.1 % and a sensitivity of 92.9%.Moreover,correlation analysis showed GAS was significantly associated with cumulative doxorubicin dose(r = -0.834,P < 0.01 ).Conclusions During chemotherapy,GAS can detect minor LV myocardial dysfunction associated with cardiotoxicity of anthracycline.3D-STI is useful in early dectection of left ventricular myocardial dysfunction in patients with breast cancer after receiving anthracycline.

Objective To investigate the pathological escalation after cervical cone resection in postmenopausal women, and analyze the related influencing factors. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital,School of Medicine, Zhejiang University between July 2013 and January 2015. Seven hundred and fifty cases of cervical cone-cut were enrolled in this study, 129 cases of them were postmenopausal women, and 621 were premenopausal women. All results of patients'liquid-based thin-layer cytology(TCT), HPV test, colposcopy and biopsy pathology, cervical cone resection and postoperative pathological examination were collected. Then the compliance with the pathological examination results after colposcopic cervical biopsy and cervical cone resection, and the related factors affecting the pathological escalation after cervical cone resection were analyzed. The pathological escalation of patients with different menopausal conditions after cervical cone resection was also analyzed. Results (1)Of the 750 patients, there were 329 patients had the same pathological examination results after colposcopic cervical biopsy and cervical cone resection, which accounted for 43.9％(329/750). And 216 cases demonstrated pathological escalation after cervical cone resection, which accounted for 28.8％(216 / 750). The results of TCT examination and menopause were significantly correlated with the pathological escalation after cervical cone resection(P<0.05). However, the condition of HPV infection was unrelated to pathological escalation after cervical cone resection(P>0.05).(2)Compared with the different results of TCT examination [including non-intrusive load monitoring(NILM), atypical squamous cell of undetermined signification (ASCUS), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL)], the ratio of pathological escalation after cervical cone resection was not statistically significant difference between postmenopausal and non-menopausal patients(P>0.05). The proportion of pathological escalation of patients with >5 years of menopause was significantly higher than that of patients with menopause time ≤5 years(40.3％ vs 27.7％, OR=1.8, 95％CI: 1.1-2.8, P=0.029). Among them, when the result of TCT examination was LSIL, the rate of pathological escalation in patients >5 years of menopause was significantly higher than that in menopause time ≤5 years(6/10 vs 26.3％, OR=4.2, 95％CI: 1.1-15.8, P=0.033). While the results of TCT examination were NILM, ASCUS or HSIL showed there was no statistically significant difference between two groups(P>0.05).(3)Among the 143 cases, of which the result of TCT examination was LSIL, 9 cases of the pathological examination results after cervical resection were escalated to cervical cancer, which accounted for 6.3％ (9 / 143). Among 10 cases of menopause time >5 years, 2 cases(2 / 10)of the pathological examination results after cervical cone resection were escalated to cervical cancer. Among 133 cases with menopause time ≤ 5 years, 7 cases (5.3％)were upgraded to cervical cancer after cervical cone resection. The ratio of pathological escalation to cancer in postmenopausal patients with >5 years was higher than that of menopause time ≤5 years. Due to the data volume limitation, the comparison was not statistically significant difference(χ2=0.460, P>0.05). Conclusions In postmenopausal women, especially when menopausal time is > 5 years, the proportion of pathological escalation after cervical cone resection following colposcopic cervical biopsy is increased. And the pathological escalation after cervical cone resection is significantly correlated with the results of TCT examination and menopausal status. Therefore, doctors should treat the colposcopic biopsy pathological results with caution during clinic. Depending on TCT results, loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) sampling could be administrated directly in case of avoid missing diagnosis.
