Transforming growth factor-?(TGF-?) is a kind of multifunctional cytokine that regulates cell growth,differentiation,cellular senescence,apoptosis,wound healing and embryo development.As a tumor suppressor,deregulated or aberrant TGF-? signaling has been strongly implicated in human solid tumors,as well as in normal and malignant hematopoiesis.TGF? exerts an inhibitory role during the whole procedure of hematopoiesis.As a cell cycle inhibitor,it maintains cells in a quiescent state and can downregulate expression of hematopoiesis activators and oncoproteins.In malignant hematopoiesis,altered expression of coactivators or corepressors involve in TGF-?-induced transcriptional responses and loss/disruption of TGF-? target gene expression.Then malignant cells grow and differentiate abnormally.In acute promyelocytic leukemia,PML-RAR? may inhibit TGF-? signaling through inhibition of cPML and nPML.Degradation of PML-RAR? by ATRA restores this signaling pathway.

Objective: To establish porcine chronic ischemic myocardium model and to evaluate ultrasonic integrated backscatter(IBS) and Doppler tissue imaging(DTI) in detecting this model. Methods: An Ameroid constrictor was placed around the porcine proximal left circumflex artery. The calibrated average image intensity (%AⅡ), cyclic variation of IBS (CVIB), the subendo-epicardical gradient index (TGI) and the spectrum of left ventricular papillary muscle level short axis view (LVPM-SAM) and apical four chamber view (AP-4CV) were measured at normal state, 2 w, 4 w, 6 w and 8 w after Ameroid placement. Results: Normal %AⅡ, CVIB and TGI were 2.29?0.32,(9.69?2.22)dB and 0.22? 0.08 respectively. After Ameroid placement, the %AII increased gradually, the CVIB decreased gradually, and the decrease was higher in subepicardium than that in subendocardium. The most obvious decrease of TGI occurred from 2 w to 4 w after Ameroid placement and became zero at 8 w(P

Objective: To study the distribution of flavonoids among the plants for medicinal use of Selaginella . Methods: HPCE analysis was carried out on the ethyl acetate extracts of 18 Selaginella plants (from 11 species), using MECC separation model. Results: HPCE fingerprints of 18 Selaginella plants were established with quercetin as interanl standard and relative migration time and relative peak area as parameters. Conclusion: The contributions of flavonoids has not only generity, but also difference among the tested samples.

Objective To investigate the application value of virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) technique in staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods VTQ examination was performed on a random sample of 96 CKD patients at different clinical stages and 45 healthy volunteers (control group). Shear wave velocity (SWV) of renal parenchyma was measured and compared. Correlation between SWV and clinical stage and glomeru-lar filtration rate (GFR) of CKD patients was analyzed. Results The SWV value of renal parenchyma decreased gradually, along with the progression of CKD disease and impairment of renal function. There was no significant difference(P>0.05)between the control group and the CKD1 group ( P=0.061), the CKD2 group and the CKD3 group (P = 0.238), and the CKD4 group and the CKD5 group (P = 0.624). The difference of SWV between the remaining groups was statistically significant(P < 0.05). SWV of renal parenchyma was negatively correlated with CKD stage (r =-0.65, P < 0.001), which means the higher the stage of CKD was associated with the lower the SWV. SWV was positively correlated with GFR (r = 0.73, P < 0.001), which means the lower the GFR was related to the lower the SWV. Conclusion VTQ technique can noninvasively reflect the changes of renal parenchyma elas-ticity and evaluate the impairment of renal function in CKD patients. It can provide a new quantitative evaluation index for the clinical staging of CKD.

ObjectiveTo determine the source of IL-6 in detached retina and the change of IL-6 level in detached and reattached retina.MethodsRetinas of SD rat were examined after subretinal injection of 1.4% Healon GV at different period of time, and the level of IL-6 in detached and reattached retina were detected by radio-immune histochemistry method. Wax-embeded sections were labeled with IL-6 antibody to determine the location of IL-6.ResultsDetached retina with normal vitreous and inner limiting membrane could only induce the subretinal fibrosis. This kind of fibrosis reached to its peak at 10th day and then remolded with time. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell, Muller cell, endothelial cell, glial cell were labled with IL-6, and the level of IL-6 in neuro-retina reached to its peak at 3rd-4th day and then downed to normal within a few days. The level of IL-6 in reattached retina was lower than in detached retina. The expression of IL-6 in RPE of detached area was stronger than in attached area.ConclusionIL-6 takes active part in wound healing process induced by the separation of RPE and neuro-retina. Reattachment can lower the expression of IL-6 in retina.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of integrin β1 during retinal detachment and reattachment of rabbits.Methods24 rabbits were used to make retinal detachment and reattachment model by using hyaluronidase and micropipette. The expression of integrin β1 were observed with hybridization in situ.ResultsThe expression of integrin β1 in reattached retina was lower than that in detached retina.ConclusionRetinal reattachment may inhibit the development of proliferative vireoretinopathy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible effect of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)in experimental retinal detachment,and the role in proliferation.MethodsThe experimental retinal detachment and reattachment in different time were made using Sprague-Dawley rats. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in neuro-retina was tested with flow cytometry at different time. IL-1β in neuro-retina were analyzed by labeling with polyclonal IL-1β antibody. The level of IL-1β in neuro-retina were tested with radio-immune method. IL-1β antibody 1000 ng,IL-1Ra 20 ng were injected in the subretinal space of some rats before PCNA reached to its high point respectively,and the expression of PCNA of them were compared with that of control which were injected with 0.01 M PBS.ResultsIL-1β expressed in Muller cell,astrocyte,vascular endothelial cell in neuro-retina and reached to its peak at the 7th day after detachment,then declined and continued at a low level as long as the retina detached.The expression of PCNA began at the second day after detachment, and reached a maximum at about 10 days after,then declined and continued at a low level as long as the retina detached. IL-1βantibody and IL-1Ra could restrain the expression of PCNA.ConclusionProinflammatory cytokine IL-1β is the key factor in proliferation of experimental retinal detachment.

Objective To investigate the prognostic values of serum lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) and beta-2 microglobulin(?2-MG) levels in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML). Methods The associations of serum LDH and ?2-MG levels at diagnosis,remission and relapse with treatment and prognosis in 68 patients with AML were retrospectively analysed. Results There were no difference in LDH and ?2-MG between AML subtypes patients.The level of serum LDH and ?2-MG at diagnosis and relapse were much higher than those at remission.Patients with lower level of LDH and ?2-MG got higher CR rate and longer term overall survival and disease-free survival.Patients with higher level of both LDH and ?2-MG got lower CR rate,shorter term of overall survival and disease-free survival than those with higher level of LDH or ?2-MG or those with normal level of LDH and ?2-MG. Conclusion LDH and ?2-MG is a singificant prognostic indicator for AML.While combined LDH and ?2-MG are more definite for the treatment and diagnosis.
