Objective To explore the applicability of different clinical staging systems in chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL) for Chinese patients. Methods 218 cases of CLL patients from the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital during the year 2000 to 2007 were staged according to different clinical staging systems retrospectively,and the applicability of these systems was analysed. Results The 5-year overall survival(OS) rates of Rai 0, Ⅰ,Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ group were (80.5±8.0) %, (79.7±6.7) %, (82.6±7.3) %, (46.1±19.7) % and (48.4±7.3) % respectively, being statistically different between stage 0 and Ⅲ/Ⅳ, Ⅰ and Ⅳ groups(P <0.05). For modified Rai staging system, the 5-year OS rates of low-, intermediate-and high-risk group were (80.5±8.0) %, (80.9±5.0) % and (49.6±6.5) % respectively, being statistically different between high-risk and intermediate/low-risk groups (P <0.05). The 5-year OS rates of Binet A, B and C group were (79.9±5.3) %, (71.7±7.7) % and (51.6±6.8) % respectively, being statistically different between A and B/C groups(P <0.05). The 5-year OS rates of GIMEMA Ⅰ , Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ group were (85.1±4.5) %,(59.4±8.6) %, (64.3±9.5) % and (48.9±14.0) % respectively, being statistically different between Ⅰ and Ⅱ/Ⅲ /Ⅳ groups (P <0.05). By the definition of smouldering CLL according to Montserrat et al, or French Group criteria, the Binet A patients were divided into two groups:the smouldering group and the active group. No matter what criteria was used,there was no statistically difference in OS between the two groups (P >0.05). Conclusion There are limitations to some extent in the prognostic evaluation of available staging systems for Chinese CLL patients.A more suitable risk stratification system for Chinese CLL patients is required.

ObjectiveTo test and verify whether Ba-alginate-Poly-L-Ornithine-Alginate microcapsules(B-PLO-A) can improve the physical properties and biocompatibility of the traditional BPA microcapsules.MethodsThe B-PLO-A and Ba-alginate-Poly-L-lysine-alginate（B-PLL-A） microcapsules were made by the static generator. The physical property of the microcapsules was evaluated by observing the morphological changes of the microcapsules in the hypotonic environment, changes in diameter of microcapsules in vitro culture and calculating broken microcapsules ratio by shaking method. The biocompatibility was observed by transplanting into peritoneal cavity of rat.ResultsB-PLO-A microcapsules are stronger and more stable in a hypotonic environment than B-PLL-A microcapsules. After 96 h mechanism shaking, the unbroken microcapsules ratio of B-PLO-A and B-PLL-A microcapsules were (99.3±1.0)% and (96.2±1.5)% respectively. The microcapsules were retrieved from peritoneal cavity of rat at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation, most of the microcapsules were of integrity, rotundity, and surface smooth without obviously bundled by connective tissue. 8 weeks after transplantation the intact microcapsules ratio of B-PLO-A and B-PLL-A microcapsules were (97.3±2.1)% and (95.4±2.4)% respectively.ConclusionB-PLO-A microcapsules as a whole have bettermechanical strength compared with B-PLL-A microcapsules, while maintaining a good biocompatibility.

Objective To study the prevalence of dilated cardiomyopathy and the quasi-latent Keshan disease in villages of non-endemic areas of six Keshan disease endemic provinces in China,and to provide reference values for proposing a elimination standard of keshan disease.Methods County,township and village was selected as the study area by using multi-stage sampling in non-Keshan disease areas of Sichuan,Shanxi,Henan,Shandong and in Keshan disease areas of Chongqing and Yunnan.In each county two townships were selected and in each township one village was chosen.The residents of the villages sampled were surveyed by questionnaire,physical examination,electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac echocardiography.Suspected dilated cardiomyopathy patients had chest X-ray.Dilated cardiomyopathy patients were diagnosed according to the criteria proposed by 2006 World Health Organization/International Society and Federation of Cardiology (WHO/ISFC).Results The number of investigated villages was 126 and 54 139 people were surveyed by questionnaire and clinical examination.Ten patients with dilated cardiomyopathy were found,the prevalence was 18.47/100 000(10/54 139),and its 95％ confidence interval was 18.11/100 000-18.84/100 000.A total of 197 patients with quasi-latent Keshan disease were found,the prevalence was 363.88/100 000 (197/54 139),and its 95％ confidence interval was 362.27/100 000-365.49/ 100 000.The prevalence of male quasi-latent Keshan disease was 353.34/100 000(83/23 490) and of female was 372.07/100 000(114/30 639).The number of subjects with normal and abnormal ECG was 45 222 and 8917,respectively,and the rate of abnormal ECG was 16.47％.The highest rate of abnormal ECG was 38.28％ (1585/4141) in Chongqing.The lowest rate of abnormal ECG was 8.10％ (1175/14 507) in Yunnan.The highest detection rate of T wave and ST segment changes was 4.67％ (2528/54 139).In abnormal ECG indices,the detection rate of Henan,Shandong and Chongqing was higher,and all of them were higher than 10.0％.Conclusions We suggest that the reference baselines of dilated cardiomyopathy and quasi-latent Keshan disease in Keshan disease areas of the six provinces in the south of China be 18.47/100 000 and 363.88/100 000,respectively.

Objective To establish assay methods for the determination of dissolution,content and related substances of vita-min K1 self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system(VK1-SNEDDS),and investigate the physico-chemical properties of the preparation. Methods The UV method was established to determine the dissolution of VK1-SNEDDS. The content and related substances were de-termined by HPLC. The appearance,self-emulsification time,micro-morphology,droplet size and zeta potential were also investigat-ed. Results The linearity range of established UV and HPLC methods was 0.85-20.4 and 2.16-216μg/ml,respectively,and all the recovery,precision,specificity and sensitivity met requirements. VK1-SNEDDS could disperse quickly after dilution. The transmission electron microscope(TEM)image of the optimized liquid SNEDDS showed that most of the emulsion droplets were of uniform size with no signs of coalescence. Droplet size of optimal formulation was revealed as 47.74 nm with polydispersibility index(PDI)of 0.248,and zeta potential was found to be-20.53 mV. Conclusion VK1-SNEDDS could form homogeneous and stable nanoemulsion when dilut-ed with aqueous phase and increase the dissolution of lipophilic drug. The methods are reliable,accurate and suitable for quality con-trol of VK1-SNEDDS.

Background and purpose: When patients have positive sentinel lymph node (SLN), axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) is usually performed, but most of them have no metastasis in the non-sentinel lymph node (nSLN). It is of great significance to predict metastasis of nSLN precisely. The aim of the study was to establish a nomogram for the intraoperative prediction of nSLN metastasis in breast cancer patients using one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) techniques and to direct the subsequent therapy for breast cancer effectively. Methods: Of 552 breast cancer patients who underwent SLN biopsy in the 2010 OSNA clinical trial, 103 with SLN metastasis treated with ALND were assessed to establish a nomogram for intraoperative prediction of nSLN based on the molecular diagnosis. A validation cohort of 61 patients who met the similar criteria in the 2015 OSNA clinical trial subsequently validated it. Results: Primary tumor size, total tumor load, the number of positive SLNs and negative SLNs were associated with the presence of nSLN metastasis based on the multivariable logistic regression results, and a nomogram was established with these variables. Its area under the ROC curve was 0.814 for the predictive model and it was 0.842 in the re-validation cohort. The tumor size assessed by the postoperative histological examination was replaced by the size evaluated by the imaging examination, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.838. There was no statistically significant difference in the accuracy compared with the former validation data (P=0.7406). Conclusion: The predictive nomogram based on the molecular diagnosis can predict the nSLN metastases intra/post-operatively. It appears to be obviously superior to other predictive models and may help to guide the axillary management and to make decisions about radiation target region.

Objective To summarize the common complications of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Methods 203 cases of CLL patients from the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, CAMS & PUMC, were retrospectively reviewed and followed up.The common complications of CLL were also summarized. Survival analysis was used to analyze the prognostic value of these common complications. Results 40 (19.7 %) patients sustained infectious complications,and the respiratory tract infections were the most common type (75.6 %). 15 (7.4 %) patients complicated with autoimmune diseases (AID), and the autoimmune hemolytic anemia(AIHA) were the most common type(31.3%). 8(3.94 %) patients suffered from secondary cancers, including lung cancer, etc.3(1.48 %) patients developed other high-grade lymphomas, 2 of them transformed to prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), 1 of them transformed to diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) which was called Richter syndrome. Complicating infections and secondary cancers or transformations were associated with poor prognosis.Complicating AIDs was not an adverse prognostic factor. Conclusion Infections, AIDs and secondary cancers or transformations are common complications of CLL patients.Lung is the most common infectious site, and AIHA is the most common AID type,none secondary cancer s incidence rate is specifically higher than the others. Infections and secondary cancers or transformations indicate poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of ketamine on the release of norepinephrine(NE)fromlocus coeruleus in the brain of rabbits,trying to elucidate the central mechanism of cardio-vascular responseinduced by ketamine.Methods Nine healthy male New Zealand rabbits weighing 2.0-2.5 kg were used in thisstudy.A trocar(0.8 mm in diameter)was inserted into locus coeruleus using the stereotactic technique and fixed.Four days later push-pull perfusion of the brain was performed.37℃ artificial cerebrospinal fluid(aCSF)wasinfused through the trocar at 0.1 ml?min~(-1).A loading dose of ketamine 2 mg?kg~(-1) was given i.v.followed byketamine infusion at 50 ?g?kg~(-1)?min~(-1) for 20 min.The perfusate from locus coeruleus was collected before duringand after ketamine infusion every 20 min.The NE concentration of the perfusate was measured by high performanceliquid chromatography(HPLC).Results The NE concentration of perfusate from locus coeruleus increasedsignificantly after ketamine infusion from(16?3) pg～?l~(-1) to(32?4)pg??l~(-1) and returned to baseline level 20min after termination of ketamine infusion.Conclusion Ketamine increases the concentration of NE in locuscoeruleus.The increased NE release from locus coeruleus may explain the central mechanism of circulatoryexcitement induced by ketamine.

Objective:This study was conducted to evaluate the roles of internal mammary sentinel lymph node biopsy (IM-SL-NB) in the treatment of breast cancer patients with clinically positive axillary lymph nodes. Methods:This study is a one-armed clini-cal research conducted from June 2013 to October 2014. A total of 64 breast cancer patients from Shandong Cancer Hospital with clini-cally positive axillary lymph nodes were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent axillary lymph node dissection. Meanwhile, IM-SLNB was performed in all patients using the new injection method of radiotracer. Results:Among the 64 enrolled patients, the visual-ization rate of internal mammary lymph node was 59.4%(38/64). For the 38 patients who were subjected to visualization of the internal mammary node, the detection rate was 100%(38/38), and the incidence of complications was 7.9%(3/38). The metastasis rate of inter-nal mammary lymph node was 21.1%(8/38). Patients with upper inner quadrant tumors and metastasis of more axillary lymph nodes had a significantly higher chance of developing sentinel lymph node metastasis (P<0.001 and P=0.017, respectively) than the other pa-tients. The clinical benefit rate of the above mentioned treatment was 59.4%. Among the patients, 12.5%(8/64) received extra internal mammary radiotherapy, whereas 46.9%(30/64) patients avoided the unnecessary internal mammary radiotherapy. Conclusion:IM-SL-NB should be performed in breast cancer patients with clinically positive axillary lymph nodes because IM-SLNB could provide the ac-curate indication of radiation to the internal mammary area, especially for the patients with upper inner quadrant tumors and those with a suspiciously high level of axillary lymph node metastasis.
