Objective To explore the effects of proteasome inhibitor bortezomib alone and in combination with chemotherapeutic agents in acute leukemia cell line HEL. Methods Tumor cell growth inhibition and apoptosis was measured by MTT assay and FACS analysis, respectively. Apoptosis- and cell cycle-associatd protein expression levels were measured by Western blotting assay. Results Bortezomib induced the suppression of tumor cell growth and apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner with an inhibitor concentration IC50 values 7.15 nmol/L in acute leukemia cell line HEL. Further combination treatment with doxorubicin or cytarabine increased tumor cell growth suppression in acute leukemia cell line, as compared to single drug treatment alone. Bortezomib caused an increase in G2/M in a time-dependent manner. Bortezomib alone and in combination with chemotherapeutic agents treatment increased the bax and p27 expression and decreased the bcl-2 expression even without influencing p53 expression levels. Conclusion Bortezomib may be an effective therapeutic drug for patients with acute leukemia. Combining bortezomib with doxorubicin might be more effective for displaying tumor cell growth inhibitor effects in acute leukemia cells through regulation of bcl-2, bax and p27 proteins and independent of p53 status.

Objective To investigate the effect of 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) on the angiotensinⅡtype 1 receptor(ATlR) expression in mesangial cells (MC).Methods p38 MAPK activation and ECM protein expression were determined using AngⅡ-stimulated MC derived from normal and 12-LO knockout mice.AT1R expression was determined using 12-LO product 12(S)- HETE-stimulated MC,MC transfected with 12-LO gene and microdissected glomeruli derived from 12-LO knockout mice.RT-PCR and Western blot were used for evaluating mRNA and protein expression respectively.Results AngⅡstimulation increased p38 MAPK activation and ECM protein expression in normal MC,but not in MC derived from 12-LO knockout mice.Time-dependent and dose-dependent experiment showed that 12 (S)- HETE increased AT1R protein' expression in MC. Similarly,12 (S)-HETE increased AT1R mRNA expression in MC compared with control MC (P<0.01). Furthermore,AT1R expression was lower in glomeruli derived from 12-LO knockout mice relative to genetic controls (P<0.01) and MC stably overexpressing 12-LO had greater AT1R protein and mRNA expression relative to control MC (P<0.01).Conclusion 12-LO activation can upregulate ATIR expression in MC.

Objective To document the MRI features of renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) containing minimal fat and to explore whether the MR features vary depending on the tumor size. Methods The MR findings of 15 cases of pathologically-proved RAML containing minimal fat were reviewed retrospectively from January 2008 to March 2010. All patients underwent MR in a 1.5 T or 3.0 T scanners. The MR features of the lesions were analyzed, with emphasis on the signal intensity and homogeneity on T2WI, in regards to pseudocapsule, lipid component, hemorrhage, cystic degeneration or necrosis, blood vessels, interface with renal parenchyma and enhancement pattern. All lesions were categorized into 2 groups; those with diameter >4 cm and those with diameter ≤4 cm. The difference of imaging characteristics between these two groups was analyzed using Fisher exact test. Results All 15 lesions demonstrated hypointensity on T2WI compared to the renal parenchyma. Homogeneous signal intensity on T2WI was seen in 6 lesions (6/15); peritumoral pseudocapsule in 3 lesions (3/15); cystic degeneration or necrosis, hemorrhage in 5 lesions (5/15); flow void of blood vessels in 2 lesions (2/15); lipid component in 4 lesions (4/15); angular interface with renal parenchyma in 10 lesions (10/15); homogeneous enhancement in 8 lesions (8/15). Fifteen lesions were divided into two groups; 9 categorized into group 1 (the maximum diameter ≤ 4 cm) and 6 into group 2 ( the maximum diameter > 4 cm). Cystic degeneration or necrosis was seen in 0 of 9 in group one and 5 of 6 in group two respectively, hemorrhage(0 of 9 and 5 of 6 respectively) and pseudocapsule(0 of 9 and 3 of 6 respectively. The difference between these findings in the two groups demonstrated statistical significance (P < 0. 05). Conclusion The MR features of RAML containing miminal fat were hypointensity on T2 WI,angular interface with renal parenchyma and homogeneous contrast enhancement, however, these findings can vary depending on the tumor size.

Objective:
To learn the characteristics of adolescent pregnancy in Wenzhou from 2015 to 2019, so as to provide basis for protecting adolescent physical and mental health.
Methods:
Data of demographic characteristics, pregnancy and delivery outcomes of the women aged under 19 years ( adolescent pregnant ) and 20 to 34 years ( right-age pregnant ) who delivered in Wenzhou from 2015 to 2019 were collected from Wenzhou Maternal and Child Health Information Management System. The incidence of pregnancy complication, comorbidity and adverse delivery outcomes of adolescent pregnant women was compared with that of right-age pregnant women.
Results:
Among 536 753 parturients reported in Wenzhou from 2015 to 2019, there were 22 419 ( 4.18% ) of adolescent pregnancy and 430 163 ( 80.14% ) of right-age pregnancy. The average age of adolescent pregnant women was (18.11±0.82) years ( range, 10-19 years ). The majority of adolescent pregnant women were migrant population (19 437 cases, 86.70%), had an education level of junior high school and below ( 18 594 cases, 82.94% ), and had no occupation (19 192 cases, 85.61%). The incidence rates of anemia, gestational diabetes, postpartum hemorrhage, perineal laceration and premature delivery in adolescent pregnant women increased from 2015 to 2019 ( all P<0.05 ). The incidence rates of gestational diabetes, anemia, gestational hypertension, placental abruption, postpartum hemorrhage, perineal laceration, premature delivery, low birth weight, fetal death and stillbirth were 1.65%, 11.76%, 0.19%, 0.26%, 3.19%, 24.52%, 6.03%, 5.53%, 0.50% and 0.04% in adolescent pregnant women, which were significant different from 5.49%, 8.94%, 0.13%, 0.01%, 0.17%, 23.46%, 4.66%, 3.08%, 0.26% and 0.01% in the right-age pregnant women, respectively ( all P<0.05 ).
Conclusions
The adolescent pregnant population in Wenzhou are mainly migrant population with lower education level and no occupation. The incidence rates of pregnancy complication, comorbidity and adverse birth outcomes in adolescent pregnant population are higher than those in right-age pregnant population, and are increasing year by year.
