Objective To study the rule of gene expression profiles of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and to find new sensitive molecules which express specifically in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) of CML patients, in order to further elucidate the potential molecular biological mechanisms leading to CML. Methods The expression of mRNA from PBMC of CML patients was compared with that of normal controls using a cDNA microarray. The bioinformatics analysis was used for every up- or down-regulated gene in CML. The new gene with unknown function and no homology to known genes in the database was confirmed, and electric polymerase chain reaction was conducted for the cloning of its full-length DNA in conjunction with Kozak rule and the exit of polyadenyl signal sequence. Sequence specific primers were designed to amplify the new gene from the mRNA of CML PBMC with the reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Results Many genes commonly up- or down-regulated in CML cells were identified. Of these, we found a novel gene with unknown function with high expression in the patients cells. Its nucleotide sequence and corresponding protein-encoding amino acid had been determined, which contained 1 872nt and 624aa respectively. We named the new gene as human chronic myelogenous leukemia associated protein gene (CMLAP), and logged the sequence of the CMLAP gene into the GenBank with the accession number AY762229. Conclusion CMLAP gene expressed highly in CML PBMC was cloned and identified successfully by combining DNA chip technology and bioinformational technology. The gene was likely to play an important role in the disease and might serve as a molecular marker for CML. The findings will pave the way for the further study of the molecular mechanism of CML.

OBJECTIVE To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) secondary to the sudden deafness (SD) and to explore the possible pathogenetic mechanism, diagnosis and treatment. METHODS 218 cases of the SD in our department were retrospectively analyzed, and 37 patients with primary BPPV during the same period were used as control group. All patients were confirmed by the examination of Dix-Hallpike and the roll check,the primary disease (sudden deafness) of secondary BPPV patients were in line with the Chinese Medical Association diagnostic criteria. RESULTS In all these patients with SD,there were 91 cases with BPPV secondary to the SD. There were 67 cases of BPPV of posterior semicircular canal and 21 cases of BPPV of lateral BPPV semicircular canal. Besides, 3 cases were of multi-semicircular canal affected. All patients with BPPV were diagnosed as the same ears as the SD. The symptoms were alleviated and initial success rate was 68.1%. During 6-22 month follow-ups, total success rate was 100%, and recurrence rate was7.7% (7/91). The hearing recovery of high frequency is worse than that of the low frequency. There were 2 cases of recurrence in lateral BPPV group, 5 cases in posterior BPPV group. All were cured by reposositioning maneuver. All patients with primary and secondary BPPV were cured with Epley maneuver or Barbecue roll maneuver, and the curative effect of them is similar. CONCLUSION The occurrence of BPPV may follow SD,and the majority of BPPV secondary to the SD occurs in the posterior semicircular canal. The canalith repositioning is an effective therapy for secondary BPPV.

Objective To investigate the potential effect of 4-amino-pynidine(4-AP)on human cervical carcinoma cell line HeLa to 252Cf neutron ray.Methods HeLa cells were treated with 4-AP(0,1,5,10,20 mmol/L,respectively)and then exposed to 0.67 Gy 252Cf neutron ray.The effect of 4-AP on proliferation of HeLa cells was assessed by MTT assay.Cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)and Western blotting were used to investigate the levels of HIF-1? mRNA and protein of HeLa cells treated with 4-AP(0,20 mmol/L)and 0.67 Gy 252Cf neutron ray.Results After HeLa cells treated with 0,1,5,10,20 mmol/L 4-AP were exposed to 0.67 Gy 252Cf neutron ray for 48 h,their inhibitory rate was 0,(38.81 ?3.45)%,(46.63?3.88)%,(63.58?6.19)%,(77.51?8.87)%,and their apoptotic rate was(3.15?0.85)%,(8.01?1.19)%,(16.00?1.58)%,(47.20?3.18)%,(62.56?4.27)%,respectively,suggesting 4-AP may inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells and induce their apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner(P0.05).However,after treated with 20 mmol/L 4-AP and exposed to 0.67 Gy 252Cf neutron ray for 24,48 and 72 h,the optical density ratio of HIF-1? mRNA/?-actin of HeLa cells was(0.401?0.121),(0.364?0.142),(0.257?0.137),(0.165?0.099),while the optical density ratio of HIF-1? protain/?-actin were(0.879?0.117),(0.645?0.115),(0.312?0.114),(0.130?0.118),showing that the levels of HIF-1? mRNA and protein both declined(P

Objective To investigate and analyze the behavior and therapeutic status of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods Out patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in our hospital from May to August 2007 were enrolled. The data including sex, age of onset, site of first hospitalization and medication status were collected and analyzed. Results In this 181 RA patients, the mean age of onset was (53±11) year-old, mean history duration was (10±8) years, the ratio of male to female was 1:4.2. The orthopedics department was the most common site of first hospital visit (32.0%, 58/181) and rheumatology department was the most common site to clarify the diagnosis (62.4% ,113/181). The diagnosis delay caused by patients themselves was (5.9±17.2) months and the delay caused by doctors was (9.0±22.0) months. More than half of the patients were not treated appropriately before they came to our hospital. Methotrexate was the most commonly used DMARDs (67.3%), followed by leflunomide (46.4%), sulfasalazine (37.5%) and hydroxyehloroquine (19.6%). Conclusion In this cohort, the proportion of patients who come to rheumatology department immediately after disease onset is low. There is delay between symptoms and final diagnosis. More than half of the patients are not treated appropriately.

Objective:To study the molecular composition of bismuth potassium citrate. Methods:The content of bismuth was de-termined using a volumetric method, the content of potassium was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry, and the content of cit-rate root was determined by ion chromatography. The structure was predicted using 1 HNMR and the crystal structure was studied using X-diffraction test and scanning electron microscopy. The changes in the percentage ratio of the three components were investigated by accelerated stability tests. Results:On the dried basis, the percentage of the three molecular components was bismuth of 35%-38%, potassium of 7%-11% and root citrate of 49%-52%. The NMR spectra and the data indicated that the product had three isomers with the molecular structure of bismuth∶potassium∶root citrate=2∶2∶2. The X-diffraction test and SEM showed that the three forms of amor-phous, monocrystalline and polycrystalline might exist. The percentage ratio of the three elements before and after the stability test was basically stable. Conclusion:Bismuth potassium citrate may have three crystal forms with the percentage of the three structure parts within a certain range, and the structure is relatively stable.

Background and purpose:The time from ifrst onset of symptoms or signs to a deifnitive diagnosis is deifned as diagnostic interval (DI). The relation of DI to other clinicopathological parameters andthe impact of DI on prognosis of patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remain unclear.This article plans to make an intensive study of these questions.Methods:The clinical records of a series of 83 consecutively presenting unselected patients referred to the Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital with diagnosed TNBC between September 2009 and September 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical and pathological factors included were investigated by univariate analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method, the factors associated with prognosis were further evaluated by multivariable analysis with Cox progression model.t-test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to study the correlation between DI and other characters.Results:DI: stage T3>T1 (P=0.01), stageⅢ>Ⅱ (P=0.03) andⅠ (P=0.01). Compared with patients of DI≥3 months, the <3 months group had earlier age (P=0.028) and TNM stage (P=0.035). T stage, N stage, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, TNM stage and DI are inlfuencing factors of overall survival (OS). Age, T stage, N stage, TNM stage, menstrual status and neoadjuvant chemotherapy are inlfuencing factors of progression-free survival (PFS). TNM staging is an independent inlfuencing factor for OS and PFS.Conclusion:Patients with later disease stage were more likely to have a longer DI; The shorter DI, the earlier age and stage of disease; DI is the inlfuence factor of OS; TNM stage is an independent inlfuencing factor for OS and PFS.
