Mutiple myeloma(MM)has been associated with the hypercoagulable states and the development of venous thromboembolic events(VTE). Described pathogenetic mechanisms that are not exclusive to MM include the abnormality of blood clotting components,the dysfunction of fibrinolysis,the disorder of platelets,the abnormity of blood stream and blood viscosity,etc..It has been proved that high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),von Willebrand factor (vWF),increased production of inflammatory cytokines and higher expression of COX-2 in MM seem to be associated with the hypercoagulability. In addition, the treatment of MM may also result in the treatment-associated hypercoagulable states.

Objective: To study the influence of emodin on fluorouracil(5-FU) induced apoptosis by elevating reactive oxygen species(ROS)of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines HepG2. Methods: The intracellular ROS levels were detected when exposed to various concentrations of emodin for the indicated periods by flow cytometry(FCM).MTT assay and FCM were used to assess cell viability,apoptosis and cell cycle distribution after treatment with 5-FU alone or combined with various concentrations of emodin.Transmission electron microscope was applied to observe the ultrastructural change of cells. Results: Emodin elevated intracellular ROS level in a dose-and time-dependent manner,and intracellular ROS level of HepG2 cell incubated in 4 ?g/ml emodin reached peak in 2-4 h.Emodin combined with 5-FU sensitized HepG2 cell to 5-FU induced apoptosis via generation of ROS in a time-and dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Enhancement of ROS generation by emodin may be a novel strategy to improve the curative effect of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Objectives To explore the changes of serum interleukin-33 (IL-33), IgA anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) and IgA anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) in acute stage of Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP) in children and its clinical signiif-cance. Methods Thirty-seven children with acute HSP admitted to hospital were selected from Nov.2012 to Jan.2013. Twenty healthy children were selected as healthy controls. The serum levels of IL-33 were measured by double anti-body sandwich en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the serum levels of AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA were detected by double antigen sandwich ELISA. Results Serum levels of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA in patients with acute HSP were signiifcantly higher than those in healthy controls (P<0.001). According to different clinical types, the serum levels of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA were signiifcantly higher in mixed-type HSP (with joint involvement and gastrointestinal symptoms and/or kidney damage) than those in HSP patients with only joint, abdomen or renal involvement (P<0.05). Serum levels of IL-33 in acute stage of HSP had a positive correlation with AECA-IgA (r=0.752, P<0.001) and ACA-IgA (r=0.788, P<0.001). Conclusions The immune pathological injury in vessels caused by the interaction of IL-33, AECA-IgA and ACA-IgA may be the important pathogenesis of HSP, which may provide a clue for the early diagnosis and treatment for HSP.

Objective:To Study the effect of static magnetic field on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.Methods:In vitro cultured rat calvarial osteoblasts were seeded into 96-well culture plate and exposed to the different magnetic intensity field for 24,48 and 72 h respectively.MTT assay was applied to study the cell proliferation. ALP was measured by a microplate reader.Results:When the magnetic exposure time extended to 48 h or 72 h, the corresponding MTT value of osteoblasts with magnetic treatment of 40 mT or 62 mT increased obviously(P0.05). ALP activity increased after 24 h exposure to static magnetic field, the effect of static magnetic field intensity of 62 mT and 83 mT showed the strongest promotion effect(P

Objective: To establish the permanent tooth germ missing animal model for future research on the root resorption of deciduous tooth in the absence of permanent tooth germ. Methods: The permanent tooth germ missing animal model was established by surgical removal of the permanent tooth buds in a male 11-week-old Beagle dog. Root resorption of the deciduous teeth without permanent successors was observed by taking periapical films periodically,and compared with physiological root resorption. Once the sign of root resorption of the deciduous teeth without permanent successors was detected on radiographic films, the animal was sacrificed and the mandibular bone was collected for histological study. Results: Root resorption of the deciduous teeth with the presence of permanent tooth germ started at 20 weeks after birth, while root resorption of deciduous teeth without permanent tooth germ started 26-27 weeks which was significantly delayed. Histological studies showed that a large number of multinucleated giant cells were present on the pulpal surface of the root, while only few of them were seen on the outer surface. Conclusion: The permanent tooth germ missing animal model was successfully established in this study which simulated the case of congenital absence of permanent tooth germ in human. Root resorption of deciduous tooth without permanent tooth germ was significantly delayed than the deciduous tooth with permanent tooth germ.

Objective To evaluate the quality of clinical trials about acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of vertebrobasilar insufficiency in China.Methods Literature of clinical trials of acupuncture was collected and analyzed,evaluated by the randomized controlled test criteria and the clinical assessing method in Cochrane handbook of international Cochrane cooperation net.Results Sixteen literatures were brought in.87.5% of the included literature had no clear description of random methods,and no allocation concealment,use of blind methods,sample size calculation,intention-to-treat analysis.Among them,62.5% had explicit diagnosis criteria,12.5% with correct randomizing method,62.5% with explicit evaluation criteria,however,31.22% with no words referring to the comparability among the groups.Conclusions Though acupuncture and moxibustion have been widely applied in prevention and treatment of vertebrobasilar insufficiency,it can not provide evidences of higher reliability for clinical treatment due to less clinical randomized controlled tests and lower quality,which severely hinder testing and verifying of clinical therapeutic effects of acupuncture and moxibustion.It is proposed that multiple central and randomized controlled test should be made,so as to search for feasible acupuncture and moxibustion methods with definite therapeutic effect for vertebrobasilar insufficiency,and provide basis for further systematical evaluation.

Background Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a major cause of visual loss in many fundus diseases.Fundus angiography (FA) is essential for the diagnosis,location and treatment of CNV.However, FA is an invasive examination method.Split spectrum amplitude decorrelation angiography (SSADA) OCT can quickly and clearly provide vascular signals.However, whether SSADA-OCT is feasible in the evaluation of CNV remains unclear.Objective This study was to detect and quantify CNV using OCT angiography.Methods Thirteen patients with unilateral CNV were included in Beijing Tongren Eye Center from June 2014 to August 2014.All affected eyes of the subjects were scanned with a high-speed frequency domain OCT.The SSADA-OCT images were obtained by scanning of macula covered 6 mm×6 mm area.The CNV area and grey scale were computed from the en face OCT images of retinal layer and choroidal layer.This study followed the Helsinki Declaration and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital,and written informed consent was obtain from each patient prior to any medical examination.Results SSADA-OCT angiogram revealed CNV area and location confirmed by fluorescein angiography,and the CNV blood flow information of internal limiting membrane,inner plexiform layer,retinal pigment epithelium,and choroid was exhibited by OCT angiography.All CNVs with different causes showed the well defined and hyperreflected signal in macular region.The average CNV area was (0.15 ±0.09)mm2 , and the average grey scale of CNV was 75.40±32.35 in the affected eyes,and that in the contralateral eyes was 26.99±22.87 in the 300 μm area,showing significant elevation in gray scale in the affected eyes compared with the contralateral eyes (t =6.946, P＜0.001).Conclusions OCT angiography is a noninvasive observation technique of retinal and choroidal blood flow.It can provide quantitative information and detailed images of CNV.

Background Cystoid macular edema (CME) is caused by many fundus diseases.The noninvasive clinical diagnosis methods for CME are conventional color fundus photography up to now.However,these images can not display the CME range well.Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO) based retinal imaging can provide clear picture with high contrast.However,whether cSLO imaging is feasible in the quantitative assessment of CME remains unclear.Objective This study was to image the boundary of CME and assess the quantification of CME image from cSLO imaging technology.Methods A series case-observational study was designed.This study protocal was approved by Ethic Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital.cSLO based retinal imaging technology was carried out on consecutive 24 eyes of 24 patients with clinically diagnosed and OCT confirmed CME in Beijing Tongren Eye Center from August to December 2015 under the informed consent of each individual.The radial scan range was 45°× 45 ° and the line scan level was 49 at macula area.The pseudocolar image,green light reflective image (532 nm) and infrared reflective image (785 nm) were collected.The imaging was analyzed by EasyScan software (version 1.2.2).Fundus color photography and SD-OCT were carried out in each patient.The images were graded by specialists according to the SD-OCT cross sectional results.Results The primary causes of CME included epiretinal membrane (10 eyes),branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) (6 eyes),central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) (4 eyes),diabetic retinopathy (DR) (3 eyes) and CRVO with BRVO (1 eye).A CME image was exhibited on the fundus color photogram with the obscure boundary;while the clear range of CME was displayed by the cSLO imaging.The mean score of CME from pseudocolar image,green light reflective image and infrared reflective image was 3.21±0.78,2.67±0.96 and 2.54±0.83,respectively,which was significantly higher than 1.33±0.82 from the fundus color photography (all at P＜0.01).Conclusions In CME patients,the imaging quality from cSLO-based retinal imaging technology is better than that from traditional fundus color photography.Combined with SD-OCT sectional scan analysis,cSLO-based retinal imaging technology may offer a method to observe and record more fundus details for CME diagnosis.
