Objective:To study the role of FDCs-miR-548m-CDK6 axis on clonogenicity in mantle cell lymphoma. Methods:RT-qPCR and Western blot were used respectively to test the expression of miR-548m and CDK6. Bioinformatics assay was applied to predict the targets of miR-548m, and Western Blot was used to test the expression level of CDK6 after miR-548m overexpression or in-hibition. Luciferase report assay was performed to test whether CDK6 was a direct target of miR-548m. Colony forming assay was used to test the colony forming activity in MCL after overexpression of miR-548m or knockdown of CDK6. Results:Cell adhesion to FDCs induced downregulation of miR-548m and CDK6 expression in MCL. Bioinformatics assay revealed that miR-548m could target the 3'-UTR of CDK6 and that a negative correlation exists between the level of miR-548m and the CDK6 expression. Luciferase report as-say confirmed that miR-548m directly targeted 3'-UTR of CDK6. Colony forming assay showed that overexpression of miR-548m or knockdown of CDK6 significantly suppressed MCL colony formation. Conclusion:This study reveals that FDC-enhanced mantle cell lymphoma clonogenicity is mediated by the miR-548m/CDK6 axis.

Objective To explore the correlation between expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) in peripheral blood monouclear cells(PBMC) and the severity of coronary artery lesion in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS). Methods The 81 patients were diagnosed with coronary heart disease, and all of them underwent immediate or selective coronary angiography(CAG) The nuclear protein level of activated NF-B was detected by Western blot and semi-quantity image analysis was done. Coronary angiograms were scored according to Gensini integration. The relationship between NF-κB and Gensini score was analyzed. Results The protein expression of NF-κB in PBMC in ACS group was significantly higher than that in stable angina group and control group (0.85±0.18 vs. O.75±0.21 and 0.71±0.23, F=3.72, P<0.05). The protein expression of NF-κB was not correlated with Gensini score(r=0.07, P>0.05). Conclusions The ACS patients have the activation of NF-κB in PBMC. The protein expression of NF-κB is not correlated with Gensini score, which does not suggest an implication of the severity of coronary artery.

ObjectiveTo study the neuron protection mechanism of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis extract for the MPTP-induced PD mice.MethodsC57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis extract group and madopar group, and injected with MPTP in abdominal cavity. Behavior test was used to detect grabbing capacity and body movement coordination capacity: three biochemical indexes (SOD, MDA, GSH-Px) were detected by biochemical process and the activity of two immune enzyme-linked indexes (IL-1β, IL-6) were detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay.ResultsCompared with the control group, the autonomic activity numbers of mice increased and climbing pole time decreased in the model group (P<0.05), enzymatic activity of SOD and GSH-Px decreased significantly and the contents of MDA, IL-1β and IL-6 increased obviously (P<0.01). Compared with model group, the autonomic activity numbers of mice increased and climbing pole time decreased in the Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis extract group and madopar group (P<0.05). Enzymatic activity of SOD and GSH-Px increased and the contents of MDA and IL-1β and IL-6 decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01).ConclusionUncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis extract can reduce neuronic apoptosis PD mice, whose therapeutic action may be realized through eliminating oxygen free radicals, improving oxidation resistance and reducing inflammatory reactions.

Group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS),namely Streptococcus pyogenes,is one of the most im-portant human pathogen.GAS can cause skin and mucous membrane superficial infectious diseases,life -threatening invasive disease,toxin -mediated diseases and immune -related diseases.Antibiotic is an effective mean to control GAS infection.The β-lactam antibiotics remain the first -choice treatment for GAS infection and the macrolides are often recommended as a replacement therapy for β-lactam antibiotics allergic patients or a means to blocking GAS exotoxin product.But with the widespread use of macrolides autibiotics,macrolide -resistant GAS spread in the world. This paper will elaborate the situation of macrolide -resistant clones.

Objective To optimize the prescription ofBaichanting Tablets by the central composite design-response surface methodology.Methods The doses of MCC, cCMC-Na, SiO2, and magnesium stearate were set as investigation factors; disintegration time and moisture rate were set as indexes. Linear equation quadratic polynomial described mathematic relationship of disintegration time and moisture rate with other four influence factors. Response surface was described according to the optimal mathematic models; the optimal prescription was chosen; predictive analysis was conducted.ResultsThe relationship of disintegration time and moisture rate with other four influence factors could not be described by linear equation. When quadratic polynomial matching was used, correlation coefficients were 0.837 9 and 0.923 1, with relatively high reliability. Optimal prescription contained 30.6%MCC, 10%cCMC-Na, 0.30%SiO2, and 0.10% magnesium stearate. The theoretical value and predicted value deviations of the disintegration time limit and moisture absorption rate were within 5%.Conclusion The predictability of the established model is good. Application of central composite design-response surface methodology can precisely optimize the prescription ofBaichanting Tablets.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors related to the complications of esophageal foreign body in children. Methods Data of 150 children with esophageal foreign bodies admitted to Xi'an Children' s Hospital from January 2012 to June 2015 were included in the retrospective analysis. Related clinical variables ( gender, age, location, time, size, sharpness, quality, and severity of complications) were statistically analyzed. Results Spearman correlation analysis showed that the age of children was negatively correlated with esophageal foreign body complications (r=-0. 187, P=0. 022), incarceration time ( r=0. 456, P<0. 001) , sharpness ( r=0. 384, P<0. 001) and quality ( r=0. 234, P=0. 004) was positively correlated with the incidence of complications. Non?conditional Logistic regression analysis for polytomous ordinal response showed that incarceration longer than 8 h yielded complication risks 9. 507 times as much as that less than 8 h ( 95%CI:2. 982?30. 309) . Obtuse or sharp foreign body yielded risk 142. 751 times as smooth foreign body did (95%CI:13. 736?1483. 562). Conclusion Incidence and severity of complications of esophageal foreign body in children are closely related to the age of the children, incarceration time and the degree of sharpness. For patients of less than 1 year old, incarceration for more than 8 hours, with an obtuse or sharp foreign body, early diagnosis and treatment is essential.

Objective To investigate the relationships among cerebellar mutism (CM), relapsed medulloblastoma (MB) and the primary tumor location.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted in 114 children over 3 years old with MB from November 2011 to April 2015.ResultsThe median onset age was 84.7 months (36.4 to 184.7 months) in 114 children with MB (77 boys and 37 girls), of whom there were 48 cases of recurrence. There were twenty two cases of CM and the overall incidence of CM was 19.3% (22/114). The incidence of CM was 19.7% (13/66) in non-recurrent cases and 18.8% (9/48) in recur-rent cases, and there was no signiifcant difference between two groups (P=0.899). The incidence of CM was 17.6% (9/51) in cas-es with primary tumor in the fourth ventricle, 7.1% (1/14) in cases with primary tumor in the cerebellar vermis, 21.4% (3/14) in cases with primary tumor in both fourth ventricle and cerebellar vermis, 45.5% (5/11) in cases with primary tumor in fourth ven-tricle and other parts of the brain, and 50.0% (4/8) in cases with primary tumor in cerebellar vermis and other parts of the brain. No CM incidence was observed in cases with primary tumor in central nerve system except for the fourth ventricle and cerebellar vermis. The incidence of CM between the cases with fourth ventricle/cerebellar vermis involvement and those without fourth ventricle/ cerebellar vermis involvement had signiifcant difference (P=0.039). ConclusionsThere is no relationship between CM and relapsed MB. Children with MB whose primary tumor is located in the fourth ventricle and/or the cerebellar vermis is susceptible to CM.
