The effects of Trichostatin A (TSA) on histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) expression, proliferation and cell cycle arrest in T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line Molt-4 cells in vitro were investigated. The effect of TSA on the growth of Molt-4 cells was studied by MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used to examine the cell cycle. The expression of HDAC8 was detected by using immunocytochemistry and Western blot. The results showed that proliferation of Molt-4 cells was inhibited in TSA-treated group in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The IC50 of TSA exposures for 24 h and 36 h were 254.3236 and 199.257 microg/L respectively. The cell cycle analysis revealed that Molt-4 was mostly in G0/G1 phase, and after treatment with TSA from 50 to 400 microg/L for 24 h, the percents of G0/G1 cells were decreased and cells were arrested in G2/M phase. Treatment of TSA for 24 h could significantly inhibit the expression of HDAC8 protein in Molt-4 cells (P<0.01). It was concluded that TSA could decrease the expression of HDAC8 in Molt-4 cells, which contributed to the inhibition of proliferation and induction of cell cycle arrest in Molt-4 cells.

AIM: To analyze and summarize the effect of glaucoma trabeculectomy in the department of ophthalmology in basic hospital.
METHODS: Postoperative intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , filtering bleb and complications of 316 cases (405 eyes) of patients with glaucoma after trabeculectomy were analyzed.
RESULTS: After follow- up 12mo, 76. 5% IOP was controlled in normal level. 42. 5% was filtration bleb typeⅠ, 33. 1% typeII, 14. 6% in typeⅢand 9. 9% in typeⅣ. Intraoperative complication rate was 2. 5%, that was 31.4% at postoperative early stage ( before discharge ) , and 6. 7% at postoperative long - term ( 6mo after discharge) .
CONCLUSION:Trabeculectomy for glaucoma can better solve the problem of high IOP. It is more mature in primary hospitals, but there are still a variety of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

BACKGROUND:Normal stem cells and tumor stem cells have differences in cellsignaling pathway of gene expression and dependence. How to find a therapeutic method of selectively kil ing tumor stem cells is a topic that should be studied greatly. OBJECTIVE:To isolate human liver cancer stem cells MHCC97 and to investigate the biological characteristics of them. METHODS:Tumor stem cells were selected from highly metastatic human hepatoma cellline MHCC97 by flow cytometry. CD133-CD34-MHCC97 from normal human liver stem cells and CD133+CD34+MHCC97 from tumor stem cells were isolated. Their phenotypes, growth curve, cellcycle and multi-lineage differentiation were measured. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Phenotypes of CD133+CD34+MHCC97 cancer stem cells were CD133+and CD34+and they had the same growth curve and cellcycle with the liver stem cells CD133-CD34-MHCC97, besides, they had the differential ability to epithelial cells and endothelial cells that proved to be stem cells. These results indicated that human cancer stem cells CD133+CD34+MHCC97 had the specific characteristics of tumor stem cells, could differentiate into epithelial cells and endothelial cells, had the biological property of tumor stem cells, was an origin of tumor relapse and metastasis, and a target of clinical therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of meliorated renal failure decoction (MRFD) on renal function and inflammatory cytokines in patients with CKD 3-4 stages. Methods Sixty-two patients with CKD 3-4 stages were divided into treatment group and control group through random number table method. Both groups were given conventional treatment of western medicine, and the treatment group was given MRFD additionally. After 6 months of treatment, the changes of TCM symptom scores, Hb, Scr, BUN, 24 h UP, IL-6, IL-8, TNF and eGFR were observed. Meanwhile, the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total clinical effective rate in treatment group was 65.63%(21/32), and 30.00%(9/30) in the control group (P<0.01);the effective rate of TCM syndromes in treatment group was 96.88%(31/32), and 53.33%(16/30) in the control group (P<0.01). The symptoms were improved better in the treatment group than the control group except for the symptoms of dry mouth and throat, and diarrhea. The level of eGFR in treatment group increased obviously (P<0.05), while the levels of Scr, 24 h UP and BUN decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), with statistical significance between the two groups ( P<0.01). The level of eGFR increased, and the levels of Scr decreased in the control group (P<0.01). The levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF in both groups were reduced, while the level of Hb increased in the two groups, without statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion MRFD can improve TCM syndrome and renal function, delay the progress of patients with CKD at 3-4 stage by means of reducing the inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting micro-inflammatory state.

Objective To study the effect of SDF1/CXCR4 and FN/?1 integrin modulated by curcumin on the adhesion and migration of B lymphoma Raji cell and to explore the mechanism of curcumin to inhibit the invasiveness of lymphoma.Methods The experiment consisted of eight groups: Control,FN,SDF,FN+anti-?1 integrin,SDF+anti-CXCR4,curcumin+FN,curcumin+SDF.Adhesion assay and migration assay were used to detect the difference of invasiveness among different groups.Results In vitro,SDF1 and FN can increase the adhesion and migration of Raji cells,which can be blocked by ?1 integrin antibody and CXCR4 antibody.Curcumin can inhibit the adhesion and migration of Raji to FN in a dose-dependant manner.Low dosage curcumin had minimal effect on the adhesion and migration of Raji induced by SDF except that 25?mol/L curcumin can inhibit the adhesion and migration of Raji.Conclusion FN/?1 integrin and SDF1/CXCR4 pathway play important roles in the adhesion and migration of Raji cells.Curcumin can decrease the invasiveness of Raji cells through inhibiting FN/?1 integrin.It has good prospect of clinical application.

To investigate whether the Bcl-2 gene family is involved in modulating mechanism of apoptosis and change of cell cycle protein induced by curcumin in acute myeloid leukemia HL-60 cell line and primary acute myelogenous leukemic cells, the Bcl-2 family member Mcl-1, Bax and Bak and cell cycle proteins including P27kipl, P21wafl, cyclin D3 and pRbp- were selected and their expression detected by SABC immuno-histochemical stain method. The attitude of sub-G1 peak in DNA histogram was determined by FCM. The TUNEL positive cell percentage was identified by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated Biotin dUNP end labeling technique. It was found that when HL-60 cells were treated with 25 mumol/L curcumin for 24 h, the expression level of Mcl-1 was down-regulated, but that of Bax and Bak up-regulated time-dependently. There was significant difference in the expression level of Mcl-1, Bax and Bak between the curcumin-treated groups and control group (P < 0.05-0.01). At the same time, curcumin had no effect on progress of cell cycle in primaty acute myelogenous leukemia at newly diagnosis, but could increase the peak of Sub-G1 (P < 0.05), and down-regulate the expression of Mcl-1 and up-regulate the expression of Bax and Bak with the difference being statistically significant. The expression of P27kipl, P21wafl and pRbp- were elevated and that of cyclin D3 decreased in the presence of curcumin. These findings suggested that the Bcl-2 gene family indeed participated in the regulatory process of apoptosis induced by curcumin in HL-60 cells and AML cells. Curcumin can induce apoptosis of primary acute myelogenous leukemic cells and disturb cell cycle progression of HL-60 cells. The mechanism appeared to be mediated by perturbing G0/G1 phases checkpoints which associated with up-regulation of P27kipl, P21wafl and pRbp- expression, and down-regulation of cyclin D3.
