Primary light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare, fatal and clonal plasma cell dyscrasia. The bortezomib-based treatment has improved the survival of AL amyloidosis patients, but the prognosis of advanced patients is still poor. More effective novel agents are urgently needed. At the 62nd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, the clinical data of a variety of new drugs (such as anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, bcl-2 inhibitor combined with statins and CAEL-101, etc.) were reported.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and cytocomptibility of porcine aorta fixed with genipin in vitro and to provide the proper biomaterials for fabrication of esophageal prosthesis. Methods The porcine aortas were treated by genipin for 7min to 7days, were then examined with naked-eye and light microscope. Subsequently, the fixation index determination and the biomechanics test were also performed. The cytotoxicity of the genipin-fixed materials was evaluated in vitro by MTT assay using a mouse -derived established cell line of L-929 fibroblasts as test cells. Results The experimental results indicated that the antigenicity of porcine aorta tissues could be diminished by genipin through getting rid of cell in the porcine aorta tissues and reducing the level of free amino groups in the porcine aorta tissues. The structural integrity of porcine aorta tissues can be preserved after treating with genipin. It was also found that the genipin-fixed porcine aorta tissues appeared more toughness and visco-elasticity. The RGR of genipin-fixed porcine aorta tissues was high which presumed a low cytotoxicity of this material. Conclusion The Genipin-fixed porcine aorta should be a promising material for fabricating esophageal prosthesis or fabricating scaffold of tissue-engineered esophagus.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism responsible for lost sensibility of tyrosine aminotransferase(TAT)to dexam- ethasone(Dex)in human hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 through examining the cDNA sequence of TAT and the status of glucocorticoid receptor(GR)pathway.Methods:The TAT cDNA fragment containing the full length of coding sequence was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and was sequenced.The expression of TAT mRNA was determined by real-time quantitative PCR to observe the influence of Dex on expression of TAT mRNA in SMMC-7721 cells.The experiement with HepG2 cells was performed as the control.Reporter genes(GRE-tk-LUC and GRE-MMTV-CAT)were transiently transfected into SMMC-7721 cells by electroporation.The induction efficiencies of LUC and CAT genes expression by Dex were examined and compared between SMMC-7721 cells and HepG2 cells.Results:The results showed that there was a same-sense mutation(Gln576Gln)in TAT cDNA se- quence.TAT mRNA could be induced by Dex,with the maximal induction level being 2.22-folds in SMMC-7721 cells,which was signifi- cantly lower than that in HepG2 cells(15.1-fold increase,P

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of endovascular treatment for iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) in 112 cases. Methods From September 2011 to June 2015, 112 cases of IVCS (Cockett syndrome) were treated in our hospital with endovascular methods .The case numbers of different CEAP ( clinical etiological anatomical pathophysical ) classifications were C2 (45 cases), C3 (23 cases), C4 (19 cases), C5 (11 cases) and C6 (14 cases).All the cases were diagnosed by venography .The operations started from puncturing the ipsilateral veins .The stenotic degree and compressed intensity of iliac vein were evaluated by the minimum diameter with low pressure balloon .And then a stent was placed into after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty ( PTA) when residual stenosis was more than 50%.The occlusive segment was dilated by 8 mm diameter balloon firstly , and catheter directed thrombolysis treatment was applied if thrombus was detected .The PTA and stenting were performed when the thrombus was completely removed .The improvement of clinical symptoms was observed after operation and the patients were followed up by ultrasound and venograghy . Results Nine cases were given PTA only , and the other 103 cases underwent stent placement . Postoperative venography showed collateral vessels were disappeared in 22 cases, obviously decreased in 56 cases and mildly decreased in 34 cases.The average difference of swelling leg ’s circle was diminished from (2.56 ±0.88) cm pre-operation to (0.93 ±0.71) cm post-operation, while the average area of skin ulcer was diminished from (6.34 ±3.78) cm2 pre-operation to (2.13 ±1.88) cm2 post-operation, all of which were statistically significant (t =20.24 and 7.19,P=0.000).A total of 86 cases were successfully followed up during a period from 2 months to 45 months (average, 19.2 months).The patency rate of treated iliac vein 12 months after operation was 76.2%in the PTA group, and in the PTA with stenting group was 96.7%, 88.6%, and 86.1%, respectively, at 12, 24, and 36 months after operation, in which a statistical significance was detected (log-rank χ2 =30.32, P=0.000).The patency rate in diameter ≥16 mm group was 95.2%and 95.2%, respectively, at 12 and 24 months after operation, while in diameter <16 mm group was 97.0%and 93.3%, respectively, in which no statistical significance was detected (log-rankχ2 =0.39, P=0.532).Thrombotic complication was found in 2 cases during the follow-up period , including 1 case of iliac vein thrombosis at 1 month and 1 case of thrombus in contralateral leg 8 months later .According to the results of venography in 78 cases at 12 months after operation , restenosis was found in 5 out of 6 cases in the PTA group, and the patency rate in the stent placement group was 95.8%(69/72).No stent migration was found . Conclusion Comfortable clinical results were obtained after endovascular therapy for iliac vein compression syndrome , and the application of stenting could increase the middle and long term patency rate of treated vessels .

Objective Toinvestigate the relationship between red blood cell volume distribution width (RDW) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS),and the correlation between RDW and degree of coronary artery stenosis. Methods A total of 221patients accepting coronary angiography were involved as ACS group and another 50 patients also accepting coronary angiography as normal control group. ACS group wasfurther divided into unstable angina (UA) group of 77 cases and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group of 144 cases ,then their level of RDW was detected. According to Gensini score ,we divided the 221 positive cases of coronary angiography into ≤ 30 point group ,31-60 point group and > 60 point group and their level of RDW was detected. Results The level of RDW in ACS group(13.02 ± 0.68)was significantly higher than that innormal control group(12.62 ± 0.38),and the difference was statisticallysignificant(P < 0.05). And the difference between UA group(12.84 ± 0.68)and AMI group(13.12 ± 0.66)also showed statistical significance(P < 0.05). With the increase of Gensini score ,the level of RDW was also increased ,and the difference between each two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05) except that between control group and ≤ 30 point group. Conclusions The level of RDW in ACS group and AMI group is significantly higher ,suggesting that RDW may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome ,and the RDW level could be a potential indicator of ACS. RDW level is closely related to the severity of coronary stenosis and could be one of its predictors.
