The success of ATRA and ATO in APL treatment furuishes the first model of molecular target-based induction of differentiation and apoptosis.Two drugs all target PML-RARα oncoprotein through different moieties and induce APL cells differentiation and apoptosis.In acute myeloid leukemia M2b,we reveal that gain-of-function of C-kit coexists with persistent AML1-ETO,suggesting that abnormal C-kit may serve as a therapeutic target in AML L-M2b Oridonin becomes a potential candidate target drug which specifically degrades AML1-ETO protein. Experiment in vitro proves the combinatorial effectiveness of imatinib and cytarabin in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML).Imatinib is an inhibitor of abnormal protein tyrosine kinases activity. While arsenic agent triggers the degradation of bcr-abl, and combination of the two drugs in treating CML leads to a better outcome.

Objective To compare the results of one-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and staged bilateral THA, and to determine the safety and efficacy of one-stage simultaneous bilateral THA. Methods The patients who were indicated for with bilateral THA were divided into 2 groups. Gourp A included 87 patients with one-stage simultaneous bilateral THA, and Group B included 31 patients with staged bilateral THA. The operating time, the amount of blood loss, the amount of blood transfusion necessary, post-operation functional scores, and perioperative complications were compared between group A and group B. Result There was no significant difference between group A and group B. Conclusion One-stage simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty was a safe and efficacious procedure.

Objective Experimental and clinical data suggest that fixed element knee designs a re not able to both supply adequate mobility and eliminate unnecessary constra int forces,as well as provide low contact stresses compatible with pr olonged life of UHMWPE bearing components.The present study investi-gated the preliminary clinical outc ome of TACK(Total Articulating Cementless Knee)system,a new design of mobile-bearing knee prosthesis.Methods Eighty-eight knees in 61patients underwent total knee replace-ment by using TACK were reviewed.Forty-five knees of 31patients were followed-up at least one year.The HSS knee rating score system as well a s X-ray films were used to evaluate th e clinical results with the mean follow-up period of 25.4months.Results At the latest follow-up examination,the rate of good to excellent clinical results was 96.4%.The range of motion was improved from 0-6.5-68.3degrees preoperatively to0-2-88.4degrees at the latest follo w-up.The complications such as oste olysis around the prosthesis,prosthetic loosening and dislocation of meniscus bearings were not found.Conclusion The TACK Knee is a third generation knee system design ed to introduce movable bearings between the metal tibial and femoral components that would reduce the sur face and subsurface stress states at the bearing surfaces and at the bone-implant interfaces by maximiz ing the conformity of the tibial and f emoral components and allowing mo-bility of the bearing surface.In an a verage of more than two years experie nce,it was observed that there was no aseptic loosening of the componen ts.A long term follow-up is obviously necessary to make more precise statement about this knee replaceme nt system.

Objective To explore the influence of treatment duration on the prognosis of Cryptococcus neoformans meningitis (CNM). Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with CNM were retrospectively analyzed. The time of Cryptococcus neoformans culture in cerebrospinal fluid turned to be negative were compared between patients with and without amphotericin B (AmB)endoneurilemma injection to determine whether endoneurilemma injection would make any difference on prognosis of CNM. Statistic analysis was performed by t test. Results The time of Cryptococcus neoformans culture in cerebrospinal fluid turned to be negative was (22. 73 ± 10. 00) days in 11patients with AmB endoneurilemma injection compared to (18. 92±7. 26) days in 13 patients without endoneurilemma injection. The difference was not statistically significant (t = 0. 172,P>0. 05). The effective rate was 45. 8% after 2-week anti Cryptococcus neoformans treatment, which increased to 100.0% after 6-week treatment. However, the curative rate at week 6 of treatment was 0. All ten patients who finished the treatment (three to four months' treatment) were acquired effective.Conclusion Treatment with standard dosage and adequate duration is crucial in improving the prognosis of Cryptococcus neoformans meningitis.
