International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(5):595-598
Continuous blood purification is continuous, slow removal of water and solute molecules in the blood.So,it is a treatnent modality of organ supports.With the development of blood purification in children,application of continuous blood purification in children is beyond the field of renal replacement therapy.Treatment indications include systemic inflammatory response syndrome,sepsis,multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,acute respiratory distress syndrome,bums,etc.Continuous blood purification has become the most important treatment in pediatric intensive care unit.Because of the children's physiological features,blood purification equipment and the disease spectrum, continuous blood purification requires higher technology and presents more difficultits.
2.The first-line treatment regimens of peripheral T-cell lymphomas
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(9):571-576
Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) are a kind of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL),which arise from heterogeneous mature T-lymphocyte and include a variety of different subtypes.Compared with B-cell lymphoma,PTCLs are characterized by a lower incidence,resistance to conventional chemotherapy,widespread dissemination,a higher recurrence rate and unfavorable prognosis.At present,the standard first-line treatment regimens have not yet been developed for PTCLs.Though,there are many studies and trials about new drugs and novel intensive regimens,which improve the clinical curative effects and prognosis of PTCL patients significantly.In this paper,the progress of first-line treatment regimens of patients with different PTCL subtypes was reviewed.

EpigeneticsreferstoheritablealterationsingeneexpressionthatdonotinvolvetheDNA coding sequence itself.Epigenetic regulation plays an important role in gene expression,DNA replication,rep-aration and reconstitution. Thus, the abnormity of epigenetic regulation may lead to different diseases, especially cancer.SNF5 ,which can suppress tumor significantly,is one of the core components of SWI/SNF chromosome remodeling complexes.EZH2,a histone methyltransferase,is closely and complicatedly related to cancer and has significant effect on tumorigenesis.There are many studies reporting the effects of epigenetic regulation factors-SNF5 and EZH2 on different tumors as well as the interrelation at present.In the present paper,the advances in the research on these two epigenetic regulation factors in the carcinogenesis are reviewed.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether efflux mechanism is involved in fluoroquinolone-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated in China. METHODS We compared the ciprofloxacin accumulation in clinically isolated K. pneumoniae with or without CCCP by fluorospectrophotometry. Use reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to measure the mRNA expression level of acrAB-tolC efflux gene. RESULTS The accumulation of ciprofloxacin in resistant strains was lower than that in susceptible ones, and it could increase to a high level nearly to the susceptible strains. The mRNA level of efflux gene acrA was higher in resistant strains than in susceptible ones. CONCLUSIONS Efflux mechanism is associated with the resistance to fluroquinolones in K. pneumoniae strains isolated in China and CCCP can inhibit its active efflux mechanism , which provides a sensitive method to detect the active efflux system of K. pneumoniae.

We investigated whether platelet-activating factor (PAF) mediates endotoxin-induced changes of lipoperoxidation, lysosomal enzyme release and increased extravascular lung water content in dogs using a specific PAF receptor antagonist, SRI 63-441. Endotoxin infusion caused an increase in serum malonyldialdehyde (MDA) from baseline (100%) to 130.04?14.00% and 169.16?32.49% and ?-glucuronidase (?-g) activity to 191.05?86.71% and 242.54?49.09% at 3 and 6h, respectively. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) ?-g activity, lung MDA and extravascular lung water also significantly increased (P

The effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on endothelial-polymorphonuclear cells (EC-PMN) adhesion and their mechanisms wsre studied in cultured bovine pulmonary artery endothelial monolayers in vitro. H2O2 at various concentrations (10-1, 10-2, 10-3mol/L respectively) stimulated EC dependent PMN adhesion, of which l02mol/L H2O2 was the most potent one, increasing adhesion to 2.3 times that of the control. Pretreatment of PMNs with SRI 63-441, a platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor antagonist, had no effect on H2O2 induced EC-PMN adhesion. Pretreatment of ECs with SRI 63-441 before H2O2 exposure significantly decreased PMN adherence to ECs. Pretreatment of ECs with phospholipase A2 inhibitor p-bromophenacyl-bromide or cahnodulin antagonist chlorpromazine and aildum ion chelate EGTA obviously decreased H2O2 induced increment of EC-PMN adhesion. These results suggest that H2O2 may activate ECs, causing the inflow of extracellular calcium or the release of calcium from intracellular deposits. Increased intracellular Ca2+ may bind with calmodulin to activate phospholipase A2 thus initiating PAF synthesis and promoting EC-PMN adhesion.

Objective To observe the morphological change of retina and its affection on visual function after optic nerve crush in adult rat. Methods The models of optic nerve crush in rats were made. The change of retinas in different time (1,3 ,5 ,7,9,14,28,56,84d respectively) after injury were observed by light microscope, and the flash visual evoked potential (F-VEP) was recorded in normal and injured rats. Result The number of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) was significantly reduced in the partial lesion of optic nerve crush compared with normal optic nerves without injury. The initial loss of RGCs was accelerated during 3-7days after nerve crush and then declined gradually by 14 days, and no change was observed after 28 days. The wave of F-VEP became lower and wider in one day after the crush, and the latency and amplitude of F-VEP declined gradually from one day to 14 days, and recovery response was observed by the time of 4 weeks after injury. Conclusion The secondary degeneration of RGCs following optic nerve crush is the important morphological foundation of fall of visual function, which have relativity with the regular decline of visual function.

Objective To investigate the renoprotective effects of autologous transplantation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) in diabetic rats. Methods Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were injected intraperitoneally with 40 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) for 5 consecutive days to induce type 1 diabetes. Four weeks following STZ injection, eighteen SD rats were randomized into two groups: the diabetic group (n = 9) and the ADMSCs group (n = 9). Normal nondiaetic rats were set as the normal control (n = 9). Autologous ADMSCs were cultured and identified in vitro , which were intravenously injection to the ADMSCs group rats via the tail vein. At 8 weeks after transplantation, levels of blood glucose, insulin, serum urea nitrogen, serumcreatinine and urine protein were measured. Meanwhile the body weight and kidney weight were examined. Results Mesenchymal cell surface markers were expressed in the cultured ADMSCs. The ADMSCs could differentiate into the adipogenic and osteoblastic lineages. Both the diabetic group and the ADMSCs group rats had higher levels of blood glucose , urea nitrogen , serum creatinine , urine protein and higher ratio of the kidney weight/body weight than those in the normal control group (P < 0.05, respectively). Blood glucose, urea nitrogen and the ratio of kidney weight/body weight in the ADMSCs group rats were significantly decreased compared with the diabetic group (P < 0.05, respectively). The decreased insulin level was attenuated after transplantation of ADMSCs (P < 0.05). Besides, levels of serum creatinine and urine protein in the ADMSCs group were lower than those in the diabetic group with no significant difference. Conclusion Autologous transplantation of ADMSCs can improve metabolic disorder and relieves diabetic renal damage.
