Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is considered as a preleukemic course, characteristic of hypercellular marrow and pancytopenia. Many studies have demonstrated that defects occur in the heamtopoietic cells from patients with MDS. Recently, many abnormal changes in apoptosis, proliferation, ability of hematopoietic support, cytokine secretion, clonal origin of stromal cells and angiogenesis have also been revealed in the bone marrow microenvironment of MDS patients.

At present, more and more studies show that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is closely associated with cancer stem cell formation and tumor cell invasion, migration and metastasis.EMT not only enhances the capacity of cancer cell invasion and metastasis, but also makes the cell obtain self regeneration and other stem cell characteristics and promotes the production of cancer stem cells.As a result, the investigation of the relationship between EMT and common stem cells can be served as a new approach for searching for effective ways to control tumor invasion and metastasis.It also can provide new targets for the treatment of tumor.

The score of sleep quality was positively correlated with that of self-confidence, energy,character,over self-concern, anxiety, optimism, sensitivity,nervousness mental bealth and self-assertion (r=0.31-0.47,P

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of HLA matching in highly sensitized recipients of renal allografts.Methods Recipient's panel reactive antibody (PRA) was detected by using ELISA test with Lambda antigen tray (LAT).Donor and recipient HLA classⅠtyping was performed with special monoclonal tray,and HLA classⅡgene typing with micro-sequence specific primers (Micro-SSP).Results There were 104 recipients with anti-HLA class-ⅠIgG antibody,76 with anti-HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody,and 44 with both anti-HLA class-1 and anti HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody respectively in 136 sensitized recipients.HLA class-ⅠIgG antibody positive rate was 11%-97 %,with an average of 49.6%?23.8%;The common public epitopes antibody was not found in each recipient of 13 cases with PRA＜20%,but was found in I2 recipients in 44 cases with PRA be- tween 20%-50%,and 39 recipients in 47 cases with PRA＞50%.HLA class-ⅡIgG antibody posi- tive rate was 17%-100%,with an average of 28.2%?63.8%.The number of cases of 0,1,2,3, 4 MM was 7 (5.1%),26 (19.1%),47 (34.6%),39 (28.7%) and 17 (12.5%) respectively by the standard of conventional HLA antigen matching;however the number of the recipients with 0,1, 2,3 MM was 31 (22.8%),53 (39.0%),36 (26.5%) and 16 (11.7%) respectively according to the rule of HLA CREGs matching and none with 4 MM.Rates of acute rejection in sensitized recipi- ents with 2MM and 3MM HLA-CREGs were 25.0% and 37.5% respectively and were significantly higher than those with 0MM (P＜0.05,＜0.05 respectively).Kidney year-survival was decreased when the number of MM of HLA CREGs matching increased.Conclusion The HLA CREGs matching can improve the ratio of well-matched significantly.Good HLA matching can reduce the incidence of acute rejection in sensitized recipients and increase the survival rate of grafts.

DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 43 (DDX43) plays an important role in the malignant proliferation,drug resistance of tumor cells as well as neoplasm immunotherapy.The overexpression of DDX43 has been found in various solid tumors and some hematologic malignancies.The hypomethylation of DDX43 gene promoter is identified in chronic myeloid leukemia,acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome,which is correlated with DDX43 overexpression and the prognosis of these diseases.

Objeetive To investigate the optimized concentration,effectiveness and histological change of Pingyangmycin by local injection of keloids for two weeks.Methods The appropriate concentration was analyzed,based on the Vancouver scar scale.48 eases of keloids were randomly divided into 4 groups with different concentrations of Pingyangmycin (1,0.5,0.25,and 0.125 mg/ml).Each case was iniected for five times at two weeks intervals,and then the statistical results (pair t test) and the histological changes were evaluated.Results Statistically,0.5 mg/ml group was more effective (P=0.0026),and this group had significant differences from the others (SNK test).The rate of the recurrence for one year was 12.00% in the whole effective cases.The keloid tissue after treatments,histologically,showed the thicker epidermis and larger papillary layer of the dermis,more inflammatory cells.Conclusions 0.5 mg/ml Pingyangmycin is the most appropriate concentration in this study and 0.25 mg/ml is the effective one.This treatment for keloid is convenient,safe,effective,low recrudescence and few side effects.

Objective To further elaborate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma.Methods The clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of a patient with primary cutaneous invasive epidermotropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma were summarized,and diagnosis and treatment of the disease from published literature were reviewed.Results After one year long,recurrence of exudative maculopapule on his body and limbs,a middle-aged male patient visited our hospital.Then,the patient was diagnosed as T2N0M0 Ⅰ phase of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma based on results of skin biopsy,immunohistochemistry,T-cell gene rearrangement and PET-CT.Through integrative medicine treatment (combination of bruceolic oil emulsion and chemotherapy with GDP regimen),the patient achieved complete remission (CR).The treatment and follow-up continues till now and his condition was stable.Conclusions Clinical occurrence of primary cutaneous invasive epidermo-tropic CD8 positive cytotoxicity T-cell lymphoma is rare and early diagnosis is difficult.It could be diagnosed with histopathology combined with T-cell gene rearrangement.In order to avoid misdiagnosis,great caution should be taken during disease history inquiry and physical examination,should be early lesion for delayed healing of recurrent lesions,biopsy should be conducted as soon as possible and immunohistochemistry should be performed simultaneously,which will provide a good basis for further treatment.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety for cervical ripening by double-balloon catheter among full-term pregnancy women underwent labor induction.Methods It was a prospective nonrandomly controlled research.Totally 128 singleton-pregnancy women in full-term who had to undergo labor induction because of pregnancy complications or comorbidities from August 2011 to April 2013 in Peking University First Hospital were selected as study subjects.Participants were allocated to preinduction cervical ripening with either a double-balloon catheter (66 participants,study group) or prostaglandin vaginal insert (62 participants,control group).Compare the efficacy for cervical ripening and adverse reactions between the two groups.Results The efficacy for cervical ripening (Bishop scores improved by ≥ 2) had no significant differences between study and control groups [82％ (54/66) compared with 81％ (50/ 62),P＞0.05].The time interval between intervention and parturiency was significantly higher in the doubleballoon catheter group than in the prostaglandin vaginal insert group [(24.2±8.5) compared with (14.5±8.0) hours,P＜0.05].The proportion of women who achieved parturiency within 12 hours was significantly lower in the double-balloon catheter group than that in the control group [9％ (6/66) compared with 21％ (13/62),P＜0.05].The cesarean section rate showed no significant differences [41％ (27/66) compared with 43％(27/62),P＞0.05].The prevalence of intrauterine infection demonstrated by clinical diagnosis was significantly higher in the double-balloon catheter group [11％ (7/66) compared with 6％ (4/62),P＜O.05].The double-balloon catheter group had significantly lower rates of contraction overfrequency [0(0/66) compared with 42％ (26/62),P＜0.05],hyperthermia [3％ (2/66) compared with 19％ (12/62),P＜0.05],fetal heart rate abnormalities before removing the device or drug [5％ (3/66) compared with 19％ (12/62),P＜0.05],as well as precipitate labour [2％ (1/66) compared with 16％ (10/62),P＜0.05].Conclusions The efficacy of a double-balloon transcervieal catheter is similar to that of a prostaglandin vaginal insert.However,the double-balloon catheter cannot significantly reduce the cesarean section rate while it increases the risk of intrauterine infection.The materual and fetal safety of transcervical catheter is superior to the prostaglandin vaginal insert.In cases of oligohydramnios,fetal growth restriction,pregnancy complicated with asthma,hypertension and scar uterine are in favor of a balloon catheter using for cervical ripening on account of high risk of using prostaglandin.

Objective To determine the advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) by establishing pneumoperitoneum under direct vision. Methods A 1cm incision was made just below the umbilicus; lifting and cutting out of the peritoneum at the line alba abdominis with direct vision; then a 10mm trocar was inserted into the pneumoperitoneum cavity.Results There were 107 patients underwent LC.Of them, 93 patients suffered from chronic cholecystitis with gallstone, 6 from acute cholecystitis with gallstone, and 8 from cystopolyps. Among them, 16 patients had previous abdominal operations. Two patients with atrophic cholecystitis converted to open cholecystectomy(OC) owing to the unclear bile duct anatomy. The average operation time was 45min. Postoperative complications included pulmonary infection in 3 patients, bile leakage in 1( due to the titanic clip falling off),but no bile duct injury or other severe complications occurred;and no mortality in this series. Conclusions Establishing pneumoperitoneum under direct vision has following advantages:rapid and safe,and favorable to avoid the severe trocar-related complications.
