Objective To study the curative effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on elderly patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) complicated with diabetes mellitus. Methods Eighty patients with OSAHS and diabetes mellitus were included and randomly divided into treatment group (n=40) and control group (n=40). The control group was given conventional treatment including diabetes diet and hypoglycemic drugs. The treatment group was given Futong ST-25 continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation besides the conventional treatment. The serum levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), two-hour postprandial blood glucose (2 hPG), insulin, sleep apnea hypop-nea index (AHI), low oxygen saturation (LSpO2) and the longest apnea time were monitored before and after treatment in two groups. Results After four-week treatment, values of FPG, 2 hPG, AHI and the longest apnea time were significantly lower in treatment group than those in control group (P < 0.01), but values of insulin, two-hour postprandial insulin and LSpO2 were significantly higher in treatment group than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion CPAP therapy can effec-tively decrease blood sugar level and improve AHI, LSpO2 and the longest apnea time in elderly patients with OSAHS compli-cated with type 2 diabetes.

Objective To study the expression of Gq protein in bronchopulmonary tissues of rats of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) model and the roles of inflammation in airway of COPD rats. Methods A total of 44 Wistar rats were divided randomly into 4 groups: nonsmoking control group, 1 month smoking group, 2 month smoking group, and intervention group (dexamethasone + smoking for 2 months). The pathological changes of lung tissues and the total and differential count of white blood cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in all groups were observed. The expression of Gq in bronchopulmonary tissues was detected by immunohistochemical method and Western blot analysis. Results More significant increases in total number of leukocytes and neutrophils in BALF were found in the model group than those in the control group. Gq was mainly expressed in airway epithelial cells, inflammatory cells, and pulmonary capillary endothelia. Weak expression of Gq was found in bronchopulmonary tissues in the control group, but overexpression of Gq in the model group. The ratios of Gq positive cells in bronchopulmonary tissues were significantly correlated with the number of white blood cells and neutrophils in BALF. The levels of expression of Gq were significantly higher in the model groups and intervention group than those in the control group. More significant decrease in Gq expression was found in the intervention group as compared with that in 3 month smoking group. Conclusion Gq may be involved in the process of airway inflammation in COPD. Inhibition of the Gq overexpression might be a new approach to the treatment of COPD. Corticosteroid might have some effects on the inhibition of the airway inflammation.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic process of a rare case of acute myeloid leukemia with minimal differentiation undergoing a lineage switch to mixed phenotype acute leukemia, NOS-rare types,and to investigate its difference from other acute myeloid leukemia and mixed phenotype acute leukemia. Methods Following tests were performed on the patient with switched mixed phenotype acute leukemia and three control leukemia patients ( including two acute myeloid leukemia with minimal differentiation and one mixed phenotype acute leukemia ). Cell morphology was analyzed by bone marrow smear and related cell chemical staining. Immunophenotyping of bone marrow was performed by flow cytometry ( FCM ). G-banding technique was used for karyotype analysis and RT-PCR was used for fusion gene detection. All the laboratory data of the switched patient were compared to that of three control patients in order to reveal the characteristics of such a rare phenotype switch in acute leukemia. Results Before switching, the morphology of acute myeloid leukemia with minimal differentiation demonstrated 0.82 blasts occurring in bone marrow, distinct nucleoli and absence of Auer rods. Blast cells expressed hematopoieticassociated antigens ( CD38, HLA-DR ), myeloid antigens ( CD13, CD56, CD11b ) and CD7. And these blasts were negative for MPO, CD33, CD15, CD79, CD19, CD22, cytoplasmic CD3, CD4 and CD8. After switching, 0. 42 blasts were found in bone marrow, showed eosinophilia and presence of basophile. Blast cells expressed hematopoietic-associated antigens ( CD38, HLA-DR ), myeloid antigens ( MPO, CD13 ),lymphoid antigens ( CD19, CD79a ,cytoplasmic CD3, and CD7 ). The control group showed typical morphology and immunophenotyping. No abnormal karyotype and fusion gene were detected. Conclusions It is a rare and complicated case that acute myeloid leukemia with minimal differentiation switched to mixed phenotype acute leukemia, NOS-rare types. The laboratory features, especially the change of immunophenotyping play an important role in the diagnosis.

Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2010;33(12):1202-1207
Objective To inhibit the expression level of SALI4 in AML cell line THP-1 and investigate its potential effects on pathogenesis of leukemia. Methods AML cell line THP-1 was transfected with plasmids that expressed small interfering RNA targeting SALL4. The samples were divided into 4 groups:(1) blank group: samples with not any treatments; (2) control group: cells with empty pRS vector alone;(3) test1 group:cells with SALL4-shRNA-pRS-1 plasmid transfection complex; (4) test2 group:cells with SALL4-shRNA-pRS-2 plasmid transfection complex. The expression levels of SALL4 mRNA and protein were measured by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR and WB. C-myc, Cyclin D1 and β-catenin were important components of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and their expression levels in SALL4 knockdown THP-1 cells were detected by real-time fluorescence PCR. Furthermore, THP-1 apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry after Annexin V-PI staining. Results Real time fluorescent quantitative PCR illustrated that the expression of SALL4 in testl group, test2 group, control group and blank group were ( 36. 0 ± 4. 3 ) %,(32. 0 ± 2. 4) %, ( 102. 0 ± 6.5 ) % and ( 100. 0 ± 2. 6 ) % respectively. There was statistical significance ( F = 226. 3, P < 0. 05 ). The expression of SALL4 in testl and test2 group respectively were significant lower than that in blank group (t = 19.7,19. 1, P<0. 05). The expression of SALL4 had no significant difference between blank group and control group (t = 1.1, P >0. 05). Western blot analysis revealed SALL4 protein in testl and test2 group were significantly decreased compared with those of control and blank group. All above data indicated the high efficiency of RNA interference targeting SALL4. Comparing with the blank group, the relative expression of C-myc, Cyclin D1 and β-catenin mRNA in test1, test2 and control group were(44.0 ±6.2)%,(44.0 ±5.1)% and (107.0±13.6)%;(22.0±4.5)%,(25.0±3.5)% and (48.0 ± 7. 6 ) %; ( 42.0 ± 3.5 ) %, ( 59. 0 ± 3.7 ) % and ( 79. 0 ± 5.6 ) %. The expression of C-myc,β-catenin and Cyclin D1 mRNA in testl and test2 group were significant lower than that in blank group (t = 10. 1,9. 5, 23. 3, 22. 9; 17.4, 12. 4; P < 0. 05). The percentage of apoptotic cells in group of test1,test2,control, blank were (57.2 ±9.1)%, (34.4 ±8.6)%, (14.4 ±3.6)% and (14.8 ±4.8)%respectively. There was statistical significance ( F = 42. 5, P < 0. 05 ). After the inhibition of SALL4, the percentages of apoptotic cell in testl and test2 group were significantly increased( t =9. 7, 4. 5 ;P <0. 05).Conclusion The inhibition of SALL4 in leukemia cell line THP-1 downregulates the expression of cell proliferation related genes such as C-myc, Cyclin D1,β-catenin and promoted apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the role of tyrosine kinase Src in a murine C.albicans infection model. Methods Observed cell proliferation by alarmarblue assay at 2, 24 and 48 h after Src inhibitor PP2 treatment. Phagocytosis was determined by a fluorometric assay. Cytokine TNF-αand IL-10 production was detected by ELISA. Results The 0~33.3 μmol/L PP2 had no effect on cell proliferation after PP2 treatment for 2 h. When the PP2 treatment extended to 24 or 48 h, PP2 (11.1, 33.3μmol/L) showed significant inhibition on cell proliferation with 78%, 9%, and 54%,13%, respectively. At 48 h after 11.1μmol/L PP2 treatment, the internalization of C.albicans in macrophage is significantly inhibited, contributing to the inhibition of cell proliferation. However, the 11.1 and 33.3μmol/L PP2 significantly inhibited the cytokine TNF-αand IL-10 production during C.albicans infection (P<0.01). Conclusion Src kinase played an important role during C.albicans infection, especially for the cytokine TNF-αand IL-10 production.
