Our aim in this study was to determine differentially expressed genes of CD34 + cell from bone marrow and G CSF mobilized peripheral blood. CD34 + cells isolated from bone marrow and G CSF mobilized peripheral blood of the same donor were identified for differentially expressed genes in CD34 + cells using the technique of suppression subtractive hybridization. Eleven genes were expressed with higher levels in CD34 + cells from mobilized peripheral blood, as compared with data of GenBank. These genes included nuclear proteins, transcriptional regulatory molecules, zinc finger proteins and interferon induced molecules. These results demonstrate that there are some differences between the two groups of CD34 + cells. Further study would give us more extensive understanding about mobilization and homing of hematopoietic stem cells.

Interleukin 33 (IL 33) is a recently described member of the IL 1 family and widely exists in cells and tissues.IL 33/ST2 axis is mainly associated with the secretion of IL 4,IL 5 and IL 13,which are involved in the initiation or progression of specific Th2 responses.It contributes to the macrophage alternative polarization,dendritic cell regulation,and direct effects on T cells.These effects explain how IL 33/ST2 axis plays contrasting roles in lung diseases.Although IL 33/ST2 axis has been extensively studied in various lung inflammatory diseases,a comprehensive overview on the role of this cytokine in infectious pneumonia is actually lacking.Therefore,we summarize the recent advances on the role of IL 33/ST2 axis in pneumonia caused by various viral,bacterial,fungal and helminth.

Purpose:To study the expressions of cyclin E and P53 in gastric carcinoma in relation to biological behavior and prognosis.Methods:Cyclin E and P53 expressions at protein level were determined by immunohistochemistry technique in 128 patients with gastric carcinoma.Results:Of the 128 patients , cyclin E positive expression was in 57(44 5%),P53 positive expression was in 67(52.3%),P53 and cyclin E were both positive in 48(37.5%),respectively.Cyclin E and P53 expression level were correlated with tumor size , invasion depth, regional lymph node status, vessel invasion, and distant metastasis, Univariate analysis demonstrated better survival in patients with negative cyclin E and P53 expressions than those with positive expression. By COX multivariate analysis, cyclin E expression level was found to be of independent prognostic significance, however p53 expression level was not found to be of independent prognostic significance.Conclusions:Cyclin E expression within gastric carcinoma tissues is an indicator of tumor behavior and prognosis, p53 expression within gastric carcinoma tissue is only an indicator of tumor behavior.

Objective: To investigate trends in the disease burden of tumors among children aged 0 to 14 years in China in 1990 and 2019, so as to provide insights into management of pediatric tumors in China. Methods: The Global Burden of Disease 2019 data were retrieved from the Global Health Data Exchange, and the mortality and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) of pediatric tumors were evaluated among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China in 1990 and 2019, and the disease burdens due to pediatric tumors in China were compared with the regions with different social population index (SDI). Results: The mortality of tumors decreased from 13.10/105 in 1990 to 4.96/105 in 2019 (a 62.17% reduction) among children aged 0 to 14 years in China, and the DALY rate decreased from 1 118.93/105 to 424.77/105 (a 62.04% reduction). The mortality and DALY rate of tumors decreased from 13.48/105 to 5.38/105, and from 1 147.09/105 to 458.65/105 among male children, and from 12.69/105 to 4.46/105, and from 1 088.22/105 to 384.94/105 among female children. The disease burden of pediatric tumors was concentrated among children at ages of 0 to 4 years. The three highest disease burdens of pediatric tumors were measured in leukemia, brain and nerve system tumors, and lymphoma in 2019. Compared with the regions with different SDI, the largest reductions were seen in the mortality and DALY rate of tumors among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China, which were still higher than in middle, high-middle and high SDI regions. Conclusions The disease burden of tumors declined among children at ages of 0 to 14 years in China in 2019, compared with 1990; however, it is still higher than in middle and higher SDI regions. The disease burden of pediatric tumors was high among children at ages of 0 to 4 years and among male children, with leukemia, brain and nerve system tumors and lymphoma as predominant types.

Though parched Chinese herbal medicines contain less effective or index components, their pharmacological actions do not reduce or even become improved to some extent. However, the current studies related to material basis could not explain the changes in property, flavour and efficacy of parched Chinese herbal medicines. Meanwhile, due to the lack of objective and specific evaluation indexes, the quality evaluation could not reflect features of parched Chinese herbal pieces. Therefore, how to break the bottleneck for the studies on parched Chinese herbal pieces, make further innovation and conduct in-depth studies on the material basis of parched Chinese herbal medicines are common problems that medical scholars are facing. According to the findings in the previous studies, the author proposed to explain the material basis of parched Chinese herbal medicines by studying Maillard reaction and establish specific quality evaluation indexes according to the features of parched Chinese herbal pieces, and conducted relevant studies.

Objective An interaction network among PD-1-ligands and other proteins were built to add deeper understanding of PD-1 signal pathway and to supply the theoretical data on the clinical application study of PD-1 and its ligands.Methods Searching the literature about PD-1 and its ligands in the PubMed,the result of which would be used to summarize the proteins that had been reported to have interactions with PD-1 and its ligands,and then,quadratic search would be performed on these proteins.Finally,the software Cytoscape would be used to build and analyze the interaction network and verified by PCR.Results There were 122 and 126 nodes in the PD-1/PD-L1 network and PD-1/PD-L2 network respectively.These proteins were involved in TCR signal path-way,cell adhesion,JAK-STAT signal pathway and interaction between cytokines.Meanwhile,a perspective that PD-L1 may influ-ence on CXCR4 through JAK-STAT pathway based on the network which had been supported by qPCR.Conclusion The bioinfor-matics suggested that there are differences between the mechanism of PD-1/PD-L1 and PD-1/PD-L2.Additionally,the method, which was based on the literature mining and bioinformatics,is good to put the biological literature to rational utilization and to pro-vide guidance for experiments.

OBJECTIVETo analyzed the relationship between lumbar endplate Modic area changes rate and low back pain by measuring MRI T2 sagittal image of lumbar endplate Modic area changes rate.

METHODSFrom December 2011 to June 2012,70 patients with low back pain in operation were evaluated on pain by VAS and function by JOA,and examined by MRI including 39 males and 31 females with an average age of (51.00 +/- 11.89) years ranging from 29 to 72 years old. Among them, 54 cases had lumbar endplate Modic changes involving 15 cases in types Modic I ,21 cases in type Modic II, 11 cases in type Modic III ,mixed type Modic in 7 cases (eliminated for too few cases). Modic area changes and corresponding vertebral area were measured on MRI T2 median sagittal. The areas of two ways were compared to yield the rate of changes for Modic, for multisegmental Modic changes to calculate the total ratios. A correlation was observed among JOA, VAS and the rate of Modic changes.

RESULTSThe correlation coefficient of change rate of Modic I with JOA score was r = -0.308, P = 0.048 < 0.05, there was a negative correlation;the correlation coefficient of change rate of Modic I with VAS scores was r = 0.428,P = 0.021 < 0.05, there was a positive correlation. The correlation coefficient of change rate of Modic II with JOA score was r = -0.375, P = 0.043 < 0.05, there was a negative correlation;the correlation coefficient of change rate of Modic II with VAS score was r = 0.352, P = 0.041 < 0.05, there was a positive correlation. The area change rate of Modic III had no significant correlation with low back pain degree (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONModic I and II area changes rate of of patients with low back pain is closely related to the degree of pain low back pain, Modic III area changes rate is not significant correlated to the degree of lower back pain.
