Objective To investigate the expression of c-FLIPL in leukemia and explore its clinical significance. Methods The expression level of c-FLIPL mRNA in bone marrow mononuclear cells was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR)in 103 leukemia patients with different types of leukemia,including 54 cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL)with 37 newly diagnosed,5 relapsed,and 12 complete remis-sion,38 cases of acute myeloid leukemia(AML)with 24 newly diagnosed,6 relapsed,and 8 complete remission,newly diagnosed 2 cases of acute undifferentiated leukemia(AUL),6 cases of chronic myelocytic leukemia(CML),and 3 cases of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia(CM-ML). The immunophenotype of patients were detected by flow cytometry. Results Expression level of c-FLIPL mRNA was higher in newly diag-nosed and relapsed leukemia patients. There was no significant difference between newly diagnosed and relapsed leukemia patients(P>0.05). Ex-pression level of c-FLIPL mRNA of AUL and CML was higher than that in other patients ,but there was no significant difference(P>0.05). Ex-pression level of c-FLIPL mRNA of all newly diagnosed and relapsed leukemia patients was significantly higher than that in control group and com-plete remission group(P<0.05). The expression level of c-FLIPL mRNA was correlated with risk stratification ,white blood cell(WBC),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase(HBDH),CD45 and TEL-AML1,but was not associated with age,sex,fibrinogen and chromosome abnormality. Conclusion c-FLIPL mRNA is highly expressed in leukemia patients ,and is closely related with risk stratification , WBC,LDH,HBDH and prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the combination of transvaginal conventional ultrasonography and shear wave elastography ( SWE) on the diagnosis of endometrial cancer ,and establish a predictive Logistic regression model . Methods Clinical information collection ,transvaginal conventional ultrasonography ,and SWE check were performed in 112 patients w ho were post‐menopausal vaginal bleeding with ≥5 mm thick endometrium . T he Emax and Emean of Young′s modulus for the endometrium were obtained . Pathology was used as the gold standard ,ROC curve was plotted ,which could be used to evaluate the Young′s modulus on the diagnostic effectiveness on endometrial cancer . Single factor analysis and bring logistic regression methods were applied to assess the values of the clinical variables ,transuaginal conventional ultrasonography variables ,and Young′s modulus in the identification of endometrial cancer . Results In 112 cases of endometrial lesions diagnosed by pathology ,there were 84 cases of benign lesions ( benign group) and 28 cases of cancer( malignant group) . Both Emax and Emean in malignant group were larger than benign group [ (53 .00 ± 16 .07) kPa vs ( 31 .99 ± 13 .89) kPa ,( 27 .25 ± 9 .28) kPa vs ( 19 .94 ± 10 .37) kPa ,all P ＜0 .001] . In the logistical regression analysis ,body mass index ,endometrial thickness ,blood flow grading and Young′s modulus were identified as independent risk factors for endometrial cancer . T he accuracy ,sensitivity and specificity of the logistic regression model in the prediction of endometrial cancer were 89 .29% ,82 .14% , and 91 .67% , respectively . T he area under the ROC curve was 0 .928 . Conclusions T ransvaginal conventional ultrasonography combined SWE technique has an important value in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer .

This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of the transcription factor MYB10, which is involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis, in different colors of Ribes L. fruitification. Rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) was used to clone the MYB10 genes from Ribes nigrum L. (RnMYB10), Ribes rubrum L. (RrMYB10), and Ribes album L. (RaMYB10), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that RnMYB10 and RrMYB10 were evolutionarily homologous. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) showed that the expression of MYB10 in the fruits of Ribes nigrum L. was higher than that of Ribes rubrum L. and much higher than that of Ribes album L. The expression of RnMYB10 and RrMYB10 increased at first and then decreased as the fruit diameter increased and the fruit color deepened (the maximum expression level was reached at 75% of the fruit color change), while the expression level of RaMYB10 was very low. Overexpression of RnMYB10 and RrMYB10 in Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in purple petioles and leaves, whereas overexpression of RaMYB10 resulted in no significant color changes. This indicates that MYB10 gene plays an important role in the coloration of Ribes L. fruit.
