Objective To explore the changes of alveolar morphology and alveolar epithelial cells in rats with hyperoxia-induced chronic lung diseases (CLD). Methods CLD model in neonatal rats was established by inhalation of high concentration oxygen(85%~90% ). Eighty neonatal rats were randomly exposed to hyperoxia (model group) and to room air (control group) (n =40 each). Radical alveolar counts and the alveolar septum thickness were used to evaluate alveolar development. The site and intensity of expression of SPC,AQP5 protein were detected by immunohistochemical staining,the dynamic expression of SPC mRNA,AQP5mRNA was detected by RT-PCR on day 1,3,7,14 and 21 after exposure. Results There were no significant differences about alveolar wall thickness and RAC between experimental groups and control group on day 1~3 ( P > 0. 05 ). But there was significant difference between the model group and the control groups on day 7 and 14 (P <0. 01 ). For model group,alveolar septum thickness peaked on day 21, the difference was significant compared with control group ( 10. 62±5.01 vs 3.62±0. 88, P < 0. 001 ), but RAC decreased to the lowest level, the difference was significant compared with control group ( 3.57±1.24 vs 10. 47±0. 88,P <0. 001 ). The expression of SPC decreased on day 3 manifestedly but increased on day 7 and the levels of SPC were higher than that in the control group. Experimental group showed gradual decrease in AQP5 expression as the lung impairment devastated. Conclusion Alveolar development was delayed and alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) was damaged in the neonatal CLD rats. The changes of SPC,AQP5 expression suggested AECI was severely damaged and failed in full recovery, meanwhile the quantity of AEC Ⅱ was increased but the ability of its differentiation and transformation was decreased.

OBJECTIVETo observe the efficacy and safety of modified Shengma Biejia Decoction (MSBD) combined with CAG program in treating elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with yin deficiency toxin stasis syndrome (YDTSS).
METHODSTotally 46 elderly AML patients were assigned to the treatment group (24 cases; treated with MSBD + CAG) and the control group (22 cases; treated with CAG + placebos of Chinese medicine) according to random digit table. The therapeutic course of CM placebo or MSBD was 21 days. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions were observed. Meanwhile, physical state (ECOG Score), transfusion dependency, and TCM syndrome score were compared before and after treatment.
RESULTS(1) The complete remission rate was 54% (13/24) and the objective response rate (ORR) was 71% (17/24) in the treatment group, obviously higher than those of the control group [36% (8/22); 54% (13/24)], with statistical difference (P = 0.036, 0.042). When comparing the efficacy based on risk level, the moderate and poor ORR was 71% (10/14) and 67% (6/9) in the treatment group, and 57% (8/14) and 33% (2/6) in the control group, with statistical difference between the two groups (P = 0.048; P = 0.010). (2) Compared with before treatment in the same group, the ECOG score significantly decreased, the average infusion time of red cells and platelets were markedly prolonged in the treatment group after treatment (P < 0.05). ECOG score, the average infusion time of red cells and platelets were significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group after treatment (P < 0.05). (3) Compared with before treatment in the same group, scores of fever, hemorrhage, and bone pain were markedly reduced in the control group (P < 0.05); scores of fever, fatigue, hemorrhage, dry mouth, and bone pain were markedly reduced in the treatment group (P < 0.05). Better effect in relief of fever, fatigue, hemorrhage, dry mouth, and so on was obtained in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). (4) In aspect of hematotoxicity, the incidence of neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia was obviously lower in the treatment group than in the control group [29.2% (7/24) vs 54.5% (12/22); 16.7% (4/ 24) vs 45.5% (10/22); 33.3% (8/24) vs 63.6% (14/22); P < 0.05]. The incidence of fatigue and anorexia was obviously lower in the treatment group than in the control group [37.5% (9/24) vs 63.6% (14/22), 37.5% (9/24) vs 81.8% (18/22); P < 0.05].
CONCLUSIONMSBD combined with CAG program in treating elderly AML patients with YDTSS, with efficacy enhancing toxicity reducing effect, had distinct advantages in improving physical condition and clinical symptoms, and reducing transfusion dependency.
