Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects, duration of hematopeietic depression and side effects of FLAG regimen for refractory and relapsed acute myeloid leukemia(AML). Methods 13 cases for 5 days, and granulocyte colony stimulating factor G-CSF 300 μg/d from day 0 till neutruphil recovery (ANC≥1x109/L). 13 patients were 8 males and 5 females. The median age was 41.8 years(range 28-67). It includes 5 relapsed AML patients and 8 refractory AML patients. Results Of the 17 times, 11 showed response to therapy; the rate of complete remission was 35.3 %(6/17); the rate of partial remission was 29.4 % (5/17) and the overall response rate was 64.7 %. Main toxicities were gastrointestinal side effects, myelosupression and the function of liver was lightly damaged. Neutropenia at lowest number began at the time of 5-12 days after regimen initiating and last 7-34 days, thrombocytopenia began at the time of 5-13 days and last 8-30 days. Conclusion FLAG regimen showed obvious effects for refractory and relapsed AML Most patients gained chance for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Hemotological and nonhemotological toxicities are acceptable.

Objective To compare four pretreatment methods of human plasma coagulation factor Ⅷ( FⅧ) before column purification.Methods Cryoprecipitate was dissolved in Tris , before the supernatant was treated with glycine precipitation, PEG precipitation, acid precipitation and aluminum hydroxide gel adsorption , respectively.Activated partial thromboplastin (APTT) was used to measure the activity of the supernatant clotting FⅧ after treatment.The total activity recovery and specific activity of the final samples were used to weigh the efficacy of those methods .The purity of the intend-ed protein was estimated by non-reducing SDS-PAGE electrophoresis .Results Total activity recovery of glycine precipitati-on was the highest (94.00%±7.60%), followed by that of acidic precipitation (89.47%±2.60%) and PEG precipita-tion (80.92%±9.67%) methods.The lowest was aluminum hydroxide gel adsorption (78.65%±7.52%).Glycine precipitation and PEG precipitation could more effectively remove contaminating protein than acid precipitation and aluminum hydroxide gel adsorption .Treated by four different methods , the specific activity of FⅧ of glycine precipitation sample was the highest (0.6856 ±0.1258 IU/mg), followed by PEG precipitation (0.5773 ±0.0787 IU/mg) and acidic precipitation (0.3885 ±0.0301 IU/mg).The specific activity of aluminum hydroxide gel adsorption was the lowest (0.2879 ±0.0472 IU/mg).Conclusion PEG precipitation is more effective for the actual production process than the other three methods .

Objective To investigate the application of "Knowing-Trusting-Acting" model in health education for hypertensive patients.Methods 100 hypertensive patient were divided into control group and experiment group,each with 50 patients.Control group received traditional health education while experiment group was guided in "Knowing-Trusting-Acting" mode.Questionnaire was used to investigate 2 groups,one with patients who were hospitalized in 24 hours and one with patients who were discharged from hospital for 6 months,of their knowledge toward the disease,their compliance and blood pressure controlling.Results The difference between the two groups' knowledge toward the disease before experiment was not statistically significant ( P ＞0.05 ),while after the experiment,the experiment group' s score of knowledge toward the disease was (67.4±4.3),higher than that of the control group (51.2 ± 3.8 ),and the difference was statistically significant ( t =19.90,P ＜0.01 ).The difference between the two groups' compliance before experiment was not statistically significant ( P ＞ 0.05 ),while after the experiment,the experiment group' s compliance,such as quitting smoking,restraining alcohol,disciplinary work and rest,proper exercise,emotional control,healthy diet,medicine use and regular examination,was better than the control group,and the differences were statistically significant ( x2 =5.828,5.482,7.294,4.320,6.139,6.775,24.731,respectively; P ＜ 0.05 ).The difference between the two groups' blood pressure controlling rate before experiment was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05),while after the experiment,the experiment group's blood pressure controlling rate was 92.0％,higher than that of the control group (64.0％),and the difference was statistically significant ( x2 =11.422,P =0.001 ).Conclusions The "Knowing-Trusting-Acting" model of health education can enhance the knowledge of the disease and the compliance,thus to improve the clinical treatment effect and patients' life quality.

Objective To assess mucin gene expression in Barrett's esophagus.Methods Mucin core protein-MUC1,MUC2,MUC3,MUCSAC and MUC6 were detected by immunohistochemistry.The re- lationship between mucin expression and magnification-endoscopic characteristics,pathohistologic epithelial types of Barrett's esophagus was analyzed.Results Mild expression of MUC1 was predominantly found in the superficial epithelium of both gastric and specialised intestinal metaplasia.In a small number of specimens, mild expression of MUC1 was also noted in glands.Strong MUC2 expression was noted only in the goblet cells in Barrett's oesophagus.MUC3 was expressed in the superficial columnar cells of specialized intestinal metaplasia with or without globlet cells but not in gastric metaplasia of the oesophagus.In some specimens MUC3 was expressed in the vacuolus of the globlet cells and the lumen of gland.Strong staining of MUCSAC was noted in the columnar epithelium of both gastric metaplasia and specialized intestinal metaplasia in Barrett's oesophagus,as well as expressed in the cytoplasm and vacuolus of the globlet cells in some speci- mens.Expression of MUC6 protein was detected at the basement of the crypts in gastric metaplasia and spe- cialised Barrett's glands.Expression of MUC2 and MUC3 protein was found much higher in villous or irregu- lar pit pattern than that in dot or rod pit pattern(P

Objective To investigate the blood fatty levels in different genotypes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and the carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in patients with essential hypertension (EH).Methods Four hundred and eighty-eight cases of Han and Uygur in patients with EH were selected,and MMP-2-735 C/T and MMP-3-1171 5A/6A polymorphism was measured by polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism.They were divided into two groups:EH with CAS group (CAS group,293 cases,Han 171 cases,Uygur 122 cases) and EH without CAS group (NS group,195 cases,Han 105 cases,Uygur 90 cases).Blood fatty factors were analyzed according to the different MMP genotypes.Results According to MMP-2 genotypes,in Hart CAS group,the low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in MMP-2 CT+TT genotypes were significantly higher than those in CC genotype(P ＜ 0.05),and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly lower than those in CC genotype(P ＜ 0.05); In Uygur CAS group,the triglyceride levels in MMP-2 CT+TT genotypes were significantly higher than those in CC genotype(P ＜ 0.05).According to MMP-3 genotypes in Han NS group,the total cholesterol and LDL-C levels in 6A/6A genotype were significantly higher than those in 5A/5A+5A/6A genotypes (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The blood fatty levels are different in patients with different MMP genotypes,which may probably influence the CAS.

AIM: To investigate the sensibility of pattern visual evoked potential (P-VEP) on the diagnosis of glaucoma in different temporal frequency.METHODS: The P-VEP were recorded in 51 eyes of 30 primary glaucoma (PG) patients, 16 eyes of 13 ocular hypertension (OHT) patients and 46 eyes of 23 age-equivalent normal people using an array of different temporal frequency and then the patients were compared respectively with the normal group.RESULTS: The P100 wave amplitude in OHT group was significantly lowered at 8Hz, and was lowered at all temporal frequency in PG group, especially when the temporal frequency was higher.CONCLUSION: The P-VEP can be abnormal when the PG is still in its early stage, so it can be an index of early diagnosis and this is more obvious when the temporal frequency is higher, especially at 8Hz.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at Zusanli (ST 36),Guanyuan (CV 4) and Ashi points on adjuvant arthritis rats,and explore the mechanism of EA treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:Sixty male rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,a methotrexate group and an EA group,with 15 rats in each group.Rats in the normal group and the model group were routinely raised and did not receive treatment;rats in the methotrexate group received methotrexate at a dose of 0.35 mg/(kg·bw),twice a week for 3 weeks;rats in the EA group received acupuncture at Zusanli (ST 36),Guanyuan (CV 4) and Ashi points,and the bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) and Ashi points were connected to EA apparatus,once a day for 3 weeks.The general status,the swelling degree of the toe,the arthritis index (AI) score,the pathological morphology of the ankle joint,and the mRNA expressions of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein (c-IAP) 1 and c-IAP2 in joint synovial tissue cells of the rats in each group were observed.Results:The swelling degree of the toe,AI score and mRNA expressions of c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 in the model group were significantly higher than those in the normal group (all P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the swelling degree of the toe,AI score and mRNA expressions of c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 in the methotrexate group and the EA group improved (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05);the expressions of c-IAP1 mRNA and c-IAP2 mRNA in rat synovial tissues in the EA group were significantly higher than those in the methotrexate group (P＜0.01).Conclusion:EA alleviates joint swelling in rats with adjuvant arthritis.The mechanism may be related to suppressing mRNA expressions of c-IAP1 and c-IAP2,thus to induce apoptosis of synoviocytes.

Objective To assess the clinical and radiologic outcomes between laminoplasty with forominotomy(LF) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF) in treating cervical radiculomyelopathy(CRM). Methods Datas of 68 patients (ACDF=33, LF=35) from January 2008 to January 2010 was collected retrospectively, the follow-up is at least 2 years. The Japa-nese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score and associated recovery rate were evaluated. For radiographic evaluation, the lordotic an-gle and range of motion (ROM) at C2-C7 were investigated. The Neck Disabilitv Index Scale(NDI) was used to evaluate the degree of patient’pain at the last follow-up. Results Patients’demographics were similar between the two groups. The differences be-tween ACDF and LF in operative time (187min VS 154min),the blood loss (127 ml VS 235 ml) and the sensation of lower extremity (64.0%VS 66.0%) are significant(t=4.170, P=0.000;Z=-6.888, P=0.000;Z=-7.512, P=0.000). 1 case with failed fusion of bone graft 3 months post-operation. 3 cases of adjacent segment degenerative changes occurred at the 2nd year follow-up in ACDF group. But no such complications occurred in the EOLF group. In addition, ACDF group showed lower NDI score than LF group in extracting and amusing (Z=-3.947, P=0.000;t=-7. 523, P=0.000). Cervical lordosis of ACDF increased from 13.7° to 16.2°, while that of LF group decreased from 14.6° to 13.3°(Z=-3.374,P=0.001);Both of the two groups (ACDF/LF) exhibited decreased cervi-cal ROM (14.8° VS 16.5°, t=-2.167, P=0.034). Conclusion The two surgical procedures have similar clinical effects in treating multi-segmental CRM. However, the LF group demonstrated shorter operative time, fewer short-term complications, so it proved to be effective and safe surgical procedure.

Objective To study the clinical values of positron emission tomography(PET)in pre-term and term newborn infants through observing neonatal brain by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(18F-FDG)PET.Methods The brain by 18F-FDG PET in 11 term and 7 pre-term newborn infants after administration of 0.1 mCi /kg 18F-FDG were observed.There were 11 males and 7 females,who were normal by brain computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.Results The brain 18F-FDG PET image in pre-term and term newborn infants was relatively high in thalamus,and relatively low in cerebral cortex,whereas the total brain was different with adults.Especially in the area of cerebral cortex,the uptake of glucose was relatively higher,and the structure of brain 18F-FDG image was more clear in term infants than that in pre-term infants.Conclusion Neonatal brain picture by 18F-FDG PET is a new tool for predicting the brain function,and its clinical values need further investigating.
