Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a kind of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL), which origins from follicle germinal center. Multiple researches reported the latest development about treatment of FL in the 58th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. The outcomes of clinical trials in which GAl01 combined with chemotherapy and bendamustine in combination with 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan for the advanced stage FL were exciting. Relapsed/refractory FL patients who receive tandem autologous followed by nonmyeloablative allogeneic transplantation could acquire preferable remissions. With the emerging of novel drugs including inhibitor of bcl-2 or PI3K and antibody drug conjugate, more and more improvements of efficacy and remission were made in the treatment of relapsed/refractory FL therapy and remission.

of Streptomyces regensis was isolated from soil to produce a novel antibiotic AGPM of a strong biological activity of antitumor The strain was irradiated by UV after treatment with LiCl to give a AGPM yield of 1 87?10 2 mg mL 1 , 2 2 times higher than that of the original strain The optimum UV irradiation time was 30～60 s and the best LiCl concentration was 0 05～0 09 mol/L The fermentation of AGPM was conducted in a 30 L stirred tank, the maximum yield of AGPM using the mutants reached 1 85?10 2 mg mL 1 , while that using the original strain was only 0 85?10 2 mg mL 1

A new strain of Streptomyces regensis was isolated from soil to produce a novel antibiotic AGPM possessing a strong antitumor activity In order to study on the metabolic path of the novel antibiotic AGPM, the protein patterns from the strain of Streptomyces regensis at different culture period were analyzed by using two eimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis Comparing with sample from growth phase, seventeen new protein spots were found in that from antibiotic production phase The results demonstrated that the special proteins might be related with the antibiotic AGPM biosynthesis from Streptomyces regensis

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of salmon calcitonin(sCT)and its effect on expression of calcitonin receptor(CT-R)in periaqueductal gray(PAG). Methods Rat models of neuropathic pain were prepared by chronic constriction injury(CCI). Thermal withdrawal latency(TWL)and mechanical nociceptive threshold(MNT)were measured using hot plate test and yon Frey monofilaments test. The distribution of CT-R in PAG was detected by immunohistochemical method. CT-R protein was quantitatively determined by western blotting. Fourty male SD rats were randomized into 5 groups: normal group, sham-CCI group, CCI group, CCI plussubcutaneous sCT group, and CCI plus microinjection of sCT into PAG group. Results TWL, MNT, andexpression of CT-R in PAG showed no difference between normal group and sham-CCI group(P＞0. 05). TWL and MNT in CCI group were significantly lower than those in normal group(P＜0.05), and expression of CT-R in CCI group was significantly higher than that in normal group(P＜0.05). TWL, MNT and expression of CT-R in CCI rats increased significantly after sCT therapy(P＜0. 05), and the effect was more marked in PAG injection group than subcutaneous injection group(P＜0.05). Conclusions sCT raises the pain threshold and increase the expression of CT-R in PAG of CCI rats, while PAG injection showed more marked effect than subcutaneous injection.

Objective To investigate appropriate diagnosis and treatment of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP).Methods Clinical and pathological data of ten patients treated in our hospital from 2002 to 2007 were reviewed. Results Our series consisted of three men and seven women. In two patients correct diagnosis was made before operation through ultrasonography-gnided core needle biopsy. All the patients were treated surgically including three resected by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Histopathologically, five tumors were malignant and the other five were benign. Immunohistochemical staining showed malignant SFTP (3/5) were less frequently positive for CD34 than benign group (5/5). Nestin was only detected in malignancies (2/5), which were negative for CD34. Except for one, all patients were followed-up for 6 to 35 months (mean 17.3 months). One patient experienced a recurrence and one died of brain metastasis. Conclusion Ultrasonography-guided core needle biopsy combined with immunohistochemical analysis is a safe and rapid method to provide a confirmatory diagnosis before surgery. For smaller, pedunculated tumors, VATS may be a bettor approach. Besides, we speculated CD34-negative and nestin-posifive might be a malignant marker for SFTP.

Objective To analysis the malignant performance characteristics of tumor stem cell-like side popula-tion cells in patients with cervical cancer. Methods The cervical cancer cells were obtained from surgical resection tumor tissue. The tumor stem cell-like side population cells were isolated by flow cytometry. The cell growth curve was drawn by MTT assay. The invasion ability of tumor cells was compared by transwell assay. The clonogenic capacity was detected by clone formation in soft agar. The expression level of ABCG2 protein, a drug-resistant gene, was detected by immunofluores-cence method. Finally, these cells were transplated into the subcutaneous of de thymus mice. The rate of tumor formation was compared between groups. Results The results from flow cytometry assay showed the percentage of cervical cancer stem cell-like side population cells was 1.39%. Compared with the non-side population cells, the side population cells grow quickly, showed the enhanced invasion ability and colony forming ability. There was more high expression level in ABCG 2 protein of side population cells. The tumor form rate was 100%(10/10) in the side population cells and the non-side popula-tion cells was 20%(2/10). Conclusion The cervical cancer stem cell-like side population cells have more malignant perfor-mance characteristics than that of non-side population cells, which maybe a core target for cancer gene therapy in the future.

ObjectiveTo observe the relationship between astrocytes and neurons in rat's medulla oblongata after exposed to 8Hz, 90dB/130dB infrasound for different times. MethodsRats were exposed to 8Hz, 90dB/130dB infrasound for 2 hours per day.At the 1st,7th,12th,21th and 28th day, the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and Fos in medulla oblongata were detected using double-labling immunohistochemical method.Results GFAP-positive astrocytes and Fos-positive neurons were increased after exposure for one time. They showed similar topographic localization and formed close relationship. Their number increased as the exposure times increasing, and decreased gradually after 14 days. The reaction of 130dB group was stronger than that of 90dB group.Conclusions 8Hz, 90dB/130dB infrasound can activate both astrocytes and neurons in rats' medulla oblongata which might participate and regulate the response to infrasound.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the differences in the autophagy activity of alveolar macrophages between patients with different stages of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP).

METHODSA total of 116 coal workers were investigated in the field. Their lung lavage fluid was collected and purified to obtain alveolar macrophages. The morphological characteristics of autophagy were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expression of autophagy marker (LC3) and autophagy regulators (Beclin1, mTOR, and p-mTOR) was measured by Western blot. The autophagy activity of alveolar macrophages was compared between dust-exposed subjects and patients with stage I, II, and III CWP.

RESULTSThe autophagy activity of alveolar macrophages differed between patients with different stages of CWP, according to transmission electron microscopy. Patients with stage II CWP had significantly higher protein expression of LC3 II/I and Beclin1 in pulmonary macrophages than those with stage ICWP (P < 0.05); patients with stage III CWP had significantly lower protein expression of LC3 II/I and Beclin1 in pulmonary macrophages than those with stage II CWP (P < 0.05), but had significantly higher protein expression of LC3 II/I and Beclin1 than those with stage I CWP (P < 0.05); patients with stage II CWP had a significantly higher protein expression of Beclin1 than the dust-exposed subjects (P < 0.05). Patients with stage II CWP had significantly lower expression of mTOR and p-mTOR in pulmonary macrophages than the dust-exposed subjects and those with stage I CWP (P < 0.05), while patients with stage III CWP had significantly higher expression of mTOR and p-mTOR than those with stage II CWP (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe autophagy activity of alveolar macrophages varies between patients with different stages of CWP.
