Objective To explore the distribution characteristics of monosomal karyotype (MK) in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods The karyotype analysis was performed in 123 elderly patients with newly diagnosed AML in our center from Nov 2000 to Feb 2015.We retrospectively studied the distribution characteristics of monosomal karyotype in these patients.Results Among 123 elderly patients with AML,117 patients had enough metaphases chromosomes for analysis.Among the 117 patients,there were 16 cases with good-risk karyotype,54 cases with intermediate-risk karyotype,and 47 cases with adverse-risk karyotype.In the 47 patients with adverse-risk karyotype,43 cases had complex karyotypes (CK).In the 117 elderly AML patients,37 cases (31.6％) had monosomal karyotype (MK),22 AML cases were secondary to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS-AML),among them 13 cases (55.0％) had MK.In the 95 cases with primary AML,the detection rate of MK was 25.3％ (24 cases).The detection rate of MK+ AML was higher in MDS-AML patients than in de novo AML patients (P=0.000).Among the 37 patients with MK+AML,35 cases had complex karyotypes.30 (81.1％) MK+AML patients had two or more distinct autosomal monosomies and 7 (18.9％) MK+ AML patients had one single autosomal monosomy in the presence of structural abnormalities,and the incidence of autosomal monosomies was higher than that of single autosomal monosomy.The presence of--5 (27.0％),-4 (18.9％),-7 (16.3％) and-6 (13.5％) chromosomes was the most common autosomal monosomy among MK+ AML patients.Conclusions The detection rate of MK is relatively high in elderly AML patients.Two or more distinct autosomal monosomies are more common.The detection rate of MK+AML is higher in patients with MDS-AML than in patients with de novo AML.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the regulatory effect of jianpi jiedu Recipe (JJR) on the microvessel density (MVD) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in long-term infection of Helicobacter pylori induced gastric cancer of C57BL/6 mice, thus providing experimental bases for its treatment of the H. pylori correlated gastropathy.

METHODSC57BL/6 mouse gastric cancer model induced by H. pylori infection was established by gastrogavage of H. pylori standard strain SS1. Mice were divided into the control group, the model group, low dose JJR group, and the high dose JJR group, 40 in each group. Mice were sacrificed after 72-week medication. Changes of the gastric mucosa MVD of mice in each group were detected by immunohistochemical method. Expressions of COX-2 mRNA and protein were detected by Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical method.

RESULTSThe occurrence rate of gastric cancer in the control group, the model group, the low dose JJR group, and the high dose JJR group was 0, 22.2%, 11.1%, and 10.0%, respectively. The gastric mucosa MVD (number/cm2) of mice in each group was 2.50 +/- 1.54, 18.56 +/- 2.62, 14.61 +/- 3.60, and 7.39 +/- 1.75, respectively. The gastric mucosa MVD in the model group increased more obviously than that in the control group (P < 0.01). The gastric mucosa MVD significantly decreased in the low dose JJR group and the high dose JJR group (P < 0.01). Expressions of COX-2 mRNA and protein in the model group increased more obviously than those in the control group (P < 0.01). Low dose JJR and high dose JJR could decrease their expressions in a dose dependent manner.

CONCLUSIONSH. pylori infection could increase the gastric mucosa MVD of C57BL/6 mice and promote COX-2 expressions, which might play a promoting effect in the incidence of H. pylori induced gastric cancer. JJR could decrease the gastric mucosa MVD and inhibit COX-2 expressions, which might be one of its important mechanisms of preventing and treating gastric cancer.

Objective To study the effect of Corylin on A375 cells melanin synthesis,and explore its mechanism.Methods The cells were randomly divided into the control group, the estradiol group, and corylin group including 10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L, 100μmol/L. Estradiol estradiol intervention group were given 10-3 mol/L. Corylin group (10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L,100μmol/L) were given 10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L, 100μmol/L corylin intervention. The activity of proliferation were detected by MTT, NaOH method, dopa oxidation , both melanin content and tyrosinase activity (tyrosinase, TYR). TYR, yrosinase related protein (tyrosinase related protein, TRP)-1 and TRP-2 expression levels of mRNA were determined by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the control group, 10, 100μmol/L of Corylin group cell proliferation rate significantly decreased (P<0.01). The 1μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L of Corylin group cell melanin content, TYR significantly decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The 1μmol/L corylin group TYR (0.303 ± 0.003vs. 0.628 ± 0.012), TRP-1 (0.313 ± 0.008 vs. 0.677 ± 0.022), TRP-2 (0.456 ± 0.028vs. 0.687 ± 0.020) mRNA expression level significantly decrease (P<0.01).Conclusions The results showed that Corylin could inhibit melanin synthesis, which worked probably through inhibiting the activity of TYR and cutting the mRNA expressions of TYR,TRP-1/2.

Objective To compare the saccharometabolism with the pancreatic islets functions and insulin resistance index in children with severe stress. Methods Thirty children with severe stress and 30 healthy children in control group were tested. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS) and fasting C - peptide (FCP) were detected by radioimmunoassay respectively and insulin sensitivity index (ISI), insulin resistance index (IR) and fasting blood cell function index (FBCI) were calculated statistically.
