AIM:To investigate the effect of Gln deprivation on growth and differentiation of primary APL cells. METHODS: The primary APL cells were collected from 18 cases of APL patients' periphery blood, the patients had not been treated. The cells were incubated in RPMI 1640 without or with different contents of glutamine and with 10% fetal calf sera, at 37℃,5% CO 2 and saturation humidity for 4 days.The initial living cell density was 5?10 8/L. After 4 days incubation,the cells were counted,collected, smeard and stained with Wright-Giemsa, DNA, POX, NAE and NaF inhibition,gulping ink and NBT etc. cytochemical technology. The stained cells were investigated under oil immersion lens. RESULTS: The living cell density became (54.28?4.28)% of the initial in glutamine deprivation group, but the living cell density in control with 4 mmol/L Gln was (108.56?12.27 )% of the initial ( P

Objective To observe the occurrence of hyperhomocysteinemia among patients suffering from cerebral infarction,and explore the possible risk factors.Methods Data of 144 cerebral infarction patients were collected from a tertiary hospital in Tianjin including gender,age,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,smoking,alcoholism,plasma homocysteine,HbAlc and biochemical criterion.Two groups were created as the hyperhomocysteinemia group and the control group based on serum homocysteine levels.Risk factor for hyperhomocysteinemia was analyzed by application of Logistic regression.Results Logistic regression analysis revealed that hyperhomocysteinemia was associated with gender,smoking,drinking and HbAlc levels in patients.Conclusions Male,smoking,drinking and diabetes mellitus were the possible risk factors in cerebral infarction patients.

[Objective] To introduce the Professor SHI Yanping's experience in treating adenomyosis with traditional Chinese medicine. [Methods]Through clinical learning with the teacher and systematic reading literatures about adenomyosis, the author summarized the teacher 's academic thoughts and clinical treating experience of the disease from the etiology and pathogenesis,fundamental law of treatment ,and medication characteristics,and one proven case was presented respectively.[Result] Professor SHI thinks the basic pathogenesis of adenomyosis is deficiency of kidney and blood stasis, accompanied by phlegm dampness, the proof is vacuity, treatment should be staged in terms of different periods:non menses-paying attention to eliminating mass and strengthening the body resistance, creatingNei Yi Ting Fang;menses-paying attention to regulating qi and blood by warming drugs, makingXin Gui Zhi Tong Fang;and at the same time,we have to pay attention to the adjustment of life style.All those lead to a good clinical effect. [Conclusion] The rich experience of Professor SHI in treating this disease might be worthy of promotion and learning,which has a good effect on relieving the discomforts and improving the quality of life in patients.

Non-communicable-diseases(NCDs)have become leading death causes and major health challenges for the Chinese people,incurring direct and indirect economic burden of diseases on families and the society,and even posing a serious threat to social-economic development sustainability of the country.Given their complex causes,NCDs mostly result from unhealthy lifestyle of the individuals,along with complex multiple social determinants.Evidences from home and abroad prove NCDs as preventable and controllable,which call for powerful government policy commitments and leadership.The government should make health policies part of social policies,build such intervention platform as Healthy City,rebuild the health service system,promote universal coverage of cost-effective interventions,and involve the entire society,reinforce general measures such as planning and performance monitoring.All of which can achieve desired outcomes for NCD control in the end.

T helper 17 cells (Th17) are a novel subset of CD4+ T cells that undergo differentiation from naive CD4 T cells through the activation of a key nuclear transcription factor,retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt),and in the presence of multiple cytokines,such as transforming growth factorβ1 (TGF-β1),interleukin6 (IL-6),as well as IL-23.Th17 cells induce their biological effect by secreting IL-17A and other cytokines.Research has demonstrated that Th17 cells have an intimate relationship with acute/chronic transplant reactions and that Th17 cell lineages have the possibility to become the new target for treating transplant rejections.Identification of Th17 cells also provides an additional strategy for inducing immune tolerance.
