Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is a major type of childhood cancer.It is an obstacle to cure for young patients with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.Recent investigations into the mechanism of relapse in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia indicate the relationship between gene abnormalities and the relapse of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.An increasing number of gene abnormalities have been confirmed to be related with relapse of this disease, including deletion of IKZF1 and mutations of JAK, CREBBP,CEBPE and ARID5B.This paper reviews the details about the influence of the various gene mutations on the relapse of the pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin on the mobilization and migration of endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs).Methods EPCs were harvested from the bone marrows of two rabbits,cultured with M199,and identified by immunohistochemistry.The identified EPCs were then treated with simvastatin with different concentrations(0,0.01,0.1,1.0 ?mol/L),and their migration induced by simvastatin was determined with Transwell chamber assay.Six rabbits models of cranial bone defect were established and divided into control and experiment groups(3 in each).In order to elicit the effects of simvastatin on mobilization of EPCs,simvastatin was embedded in polylactic acid compound,and implanted into the cranial bone defect area in the experiment group.Meanwhile,polylactic acid was implanted in the control animals.After 10 days,the expression rate of CD34+/CD133+ EPCs in the rabbit peripheral blood was counted by flow cytometry to determine the motivating effect of simvastatin.Results In Transwell experiment,16 hours after adding simvastatin(0,0.01,0.1 or 1.0 ?mol/L),the cell migration ability was obviously increased showing a dose-dependent trend(OD value:0.077?0.014 in control group and 0.075?0.013 in 0.01 ?mol/L group vs 0.097?0.011 in 0.1 ?mol/L group and 0.099?0.019 in 1.0 ?mol/L group,P

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin-polylactic acid compound on critical calvarial defects in rats.Methods Twenty male SD rats(150 g?10 g),were used to establish critical cranial defect(10 mm in diameter)model.The animals were randomly divided into control and experiment groups(10 in each).In the control group,40 mg of polylactic acid were implanted into the defect area;whereas in the experiment group,simvastatin-polylactic acid compound were used(20 mg simvastatin and 40 mg polylactic acid).Four and eight weeks after the implantation,the defect area of the rats was observed by X-ray and toluidine blue staining.Results Eight weeks after the operation,X-ray examination showed high-density regions in the defect area in the experiment group,while low-density regions in the control group.The radiopacity of cranial defects were 27.33%?2.54% in the control group,and 74.63%?2.42% in the experimental group(n=5,t=-30.148,P=0.000).Toluidine blue staining showed a few new bone tissues at 4 weeks and fully filled bone defect at 8 weeks in the experiment group.Meanwhile,in the control group,only a small quantity of new bone tissue could be seen on the edge of the cranial defects.Conclusion Locally implanted simvastain-polylactic acid compound is a promising method for the treatment of bone defect owing to its high osteogenic ability.

To explore the relationship between the activity of polyol pathway and diabetic microangiopathy, the level of red blood cell sorbitol(RBCS)in 106 patients with NIDDMwas determined. The results indicated that the level of RBCS in diabetic patients was significantly increased, and was positively correlated with 24-h urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)and the degree of diabetic retinopathy(DR). Besides,the value of RBCS in patients with both pro-teinuris and DR or proteinuria was markedly higher as compared with that in patients with either proteinuria or DR,and the concentration of RBCS in the patients with DR of proteinuria was also significantly higher than those wth neither proteinuria nor DR. In addition.it was also found that the value of RBCS gradually elevated with the aggravation of UAERand DR. These findings suggest that the elevation of RBCS level plays an important role in the formation and development of diabetic microangiopathy.

Objective: To study the effect of Tang Ke Decoction on tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF?) and glucose transporter 4(GLUT4) expression in tissues of model rats of insulin resistance of type two diabetes mellitus,and to investigate the mechanism of the function of Tang Ke Decoction to insulin resistance.Methods: Rat model of insulin resistance of type two diabetes mellitus was duplicated by using strepozotocin(STZ) and high caloric diet,and using Tang Ke Decoction of compound Chinese herbs and rosiglitazone acted on model rats individually.The degree of insulin resistance was measured by insulin sensitivity index(ISI).The expression of TNF? mRNA was assayed in adipose tissue by RT-PCR.GLUT4 protein expression was assayed by immunohistochemical method in skeletal muscule tissue,and its distribution in skeletal muscle cell was observed with electron microscope.Results: ISI of model group was significantly lower than that of control group(P

Objective To investigate the application of evidence-based nursing in the patients with cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CSFL) after vertebrae surgery.Methods 60 cases of patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group (30 cases in each),the control group was given conventional nursing,the observation group used evidence-based nursing,which was established by referring to some data and literatures according to a series of related nursing problems,getting direct and indirect evidence,and through analysis and summarizing to set up the nursing project for implementation.The incidence of intracranial hypotension headache,hyponatremia,wound healing disorders,infection of intervertebral space were compared.Results In the observation group,incidence of postoperative intracranial hypotension symptoms,postoperative hyponatremia,the incidence of wound healing disorders was statistically different from that of the control group.The incidence of infection in two groups showed no significant difference.Conclusions Using evidence-based nursing can reduce a series of complications in patients with CSFL after cervical surgery,control infection effectively,improve patients' comfort and improve the quality of nursing.

Objective To explore the effect of implementation of prevention and control measures on reducing the incidence of multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)healthcare-associated infection(HAI)rate.Methods Imple-mentation of prevention and control measures on MDROs were strengthened in a hospital in 2012,the relationship between implementation status and change in MDROs infection in the whole hospital were analyzed statistically. Results Through continuous monitoring and tracking,the implementation of prevention and control measures on MDROs continued to be improved,MDRO HAI rate of the second half year was significantly lower than the first half year ([0.29%,119/41 579]vs[0.49%,186/38 252])(χ2 =20.95,P <0.01).Conclusion Continuous monito-ring and tracking of MDROs is helpful for implementing the prevention and control measures on MDROs infection, as well as reducing the incidence of HAI caused by MDROs .

Objective To observe the changes of peptide YY (PYY) and its receptors in rats with ulcerative colitis (UC) by detecting both the serum level of PYY and jejunum epithelial cells in UC rats. Methods Rats were randomly divided into UC group, diarrhea-irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS) group and control group. We measured the serum level of PYY by radioimmunoassay and made radioligand analysis of two basic parameters reflecting the characteristics of PYY receptors: dissociation constant (Kd) and maximum binding capacity (Bmax). Results The serum level of PYY was higher in UC and D-IBS groups than in normal group (P<0.001), and it was higher in UC group than in D-IBS group (P<0.001). However, the values of Kd and Bmax in UC group did not differ significantly from those in D-IBS and normal groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The serum level of PYY in UC group was significantly higher than that in normal group and D-IBS group; therefore, we assume that the change of serum PYY level may be related to not only the symptom of diarrhea but also inflammation. Kd and Bmax in neither UC group nor D-IBS group were significantly different from those in normal group, which indicates that the symptom and inflammation in UC may have nothing to do with the changes of PYY receptors.
