1.Research progress of cellular immunotherapy for hematological malignancies
Practical Oncology Journal 2016;30(1):61-65
In recent years,considerable progress has been made in the treatment of hematologic malig-nancies.However,most patients will eventually relapse and suffer from severe side effects caused by chemotherapy or radiation.Thus,as a well tolerated,safe,effective and innovative therapy,adoptive cellular immunotherapy e-merges at this very moment.This therapy can kill tumors or control recurrence by reinfusing the in vitro amplifi-cated or treated immune effective cells into the patients.It has been actively used in the treatment of various he-matological malignancies and achieved significant effects,which brings hope for more and more patients with re-lapsed or refractory hematological diseases.

Objective:To discuss the effect of cochlear implant and hearing aid to voice quality.Method:Four groups of randomly selected 73 subjects were compared. The groups comprised: cochlear implant children, children using hearing aids, normal hearing children and deaf children with no hearing instrumention. The latter two groups were control groups. Each subject was required to phonate // about 3 s using 'voice assessment' to record the sound, and following voice acoustice variables were analysed: F0,SDF0,Jitter,Shimmer,NNE,HNR,SNR.Result:Voice F0 of children with cochlear implant was significantly lower that the other three groups(P<0.05);there were no significant difference between hearing aid group, normal hearing gourp, and deaf children group with no intervention(P>0.05);SDF0 of cochlear implant group and hearing aids group were significantly larger than the normal hearing group and deaf children group with no intervention(P<0.05),and the interaction of two factors(hearing and sex ) was close to the critical level of significance(P>0.05),which means that cochlear implant and hearing aid could have affected the SDF0 of female children more than those of male children. There were no significant difference among all the four groups about voice quality variables: Jitter,Shimmer,NNE,HNR,SNR.Conclusion:Cochlear implant and hearing aid mainly change the voice F0 and/or SDF0, and have no effect on the voice quality variables.

Objective To determine the relationship between Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)(C677T, A1298C and G1793A)polymorphisms and stillbirth.Methods 33 unexplained stillbirth and 582 normal livebirth were col-lected for case-control study from August 2014 to August 2016.The genotyping of C677T,A1298C and G1793A polymor-phisms of the MTHFR gene was tested by using restriction fragment length polymorphism polymerase chain reaction.The relationship between MTHFR polymorphisms and stillbirth susceltibility was analyzed by logistic regression.Results There was no significant difference in the genetype frequencies of A1298C and G1793A of MTHFR polymorphisms between case and control.But there was significant difference in the genetype frequencies of C677T between case and control (CT:P=0.02,χ2=3.67;TT:P=0.02,χ2=3.65).Heterozygous CT and homozygous TT would be high risk factors of stillbirth. C677T was found in one (14.3%)of the cases with early stillbirth and in three (11.5%)of the cases with late stillbirth, having no significant difference.Twin pregnancy and MTHFR C677T increased the risk 8-fold (P<0.001,χ2=13.28)and 3.4(P=0.02,χ2=3.65)for stillbirth,respectively.Conclusion MTHFR C677T polymorphism is high risk factors associ-ated with the susceptibility of stillbirth.MTHFR C677T may be used as a prognostic marker of pregnancy cases predisposed to preterm delivery.

Aim To investigate the synergistic effects and possible molecular mechanism of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and alcohol on liver injury in HBV transgenic mice(HBV-Tg mice).Methods 20 HBV-Tg mice and 20 wild-type mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:alcohol-fed Tg mice and alcohol-fed Wt mice, and they were given intragastric administration with alcohol. Control Tg mice and control Wt mice received intragastric administration with saline.All groups were rasied for 10 weeks.The levels of ALT and AST in serum, the degree of inflammation, the degree of fibrosis, the mRNA expression of TGF-β_1, Smad3, Smad7, CTGF and the protein expression of TGF-β_1, CTGF, α-SMA in liver tissue were detected.Results The serumlevel of ALT and AST, the mRNA expression of TGF-β_1, Smad3, Smad7, CTGF and the protein expression of TGF-β_1, CTGF, α-SMA in liver all increased markedly in alcohol-fed Tg mice. Alcohol consumption induced hepatocyte steatosis and hepatic inflammation in alcohol-fed Tg mice, but the change of liver fibrosis was not remarkable.Conclusion HBV and alcohol have synergistic effects on early liver injury, possibly by enhancing the expression of TGF-β_1, Smad3, CTGF, α-SMA and inducing unbalanced expression of Smads.

Objective To establish a new multiplex-PCR assay to improve the detection rate of mutations in the DMD gene in Chinese patients. Methods A retrospective review of DMD deletion spectrum of 355 DMD patients with deletions all over the gene was performed. All deletions were confirmed by " one-step approach" diagnostic procedure and MLPA analysis. The exons with high frequency of mutations were identified to constitute the amplification system and the PCR conditions were optimized. Results Two new multiplex-PCR assays were established. Assay one was used to detect 10 exons including exon 5, 8, 17, 44, 45, 47, 49, 50, 51 and 52 of DMD gene, in two PCR sets. The theoretical detection rate would be 92% (326/355). Assay two was used to detect 5 exons including exon 12, 19, 35, 43 and 54, which could be used to screen additional 5% (17/355) deletion cases. The method was validated in other 22 DMD patients. Multiplex-PCR results were completely identical to the MLPA results in all 22 DMD patients. Conclusions The two multiplex-PCR assays were established based on the analysis of 355 Chinese DMD patients with gene deletions. It is believed that the new approach would be more applicable for deletion detection on the Chinese DMD patients since the DMD cases involved were from the whole country.
