Objective To elucidate the interaction between osteoblast of bone marrow microenvironment and leukemia cells,and to investigate the role of osteoblast in the leukemia cells survival and apoptosis and the influence of leukemia cells on the osteoblast.Methods Leukemia cells from AML1-ETO9a-Rac1 mouse leukemia model and osteoblast cells were used.The ratio of GFP+ leukemia cells that co-cultured with or without osteoblast was detected by FACS.In addition,the apoptosis level of leukemia cells was detected by flow cytometry by PI and Annexin Ⅴ labeling.Activation level of PARP was determined by Western-blot.Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was utilized to detect the mRNA level of TPO,N-cadherin,OPN and Ang1 in osteoblast which was separated from leukemic mice.Results The ratio of GFP+ cells in AE9a-Rac1 leukemia cells co-cultured with osteoblast cell was significantly higher than that of AE9a-Rac1 leukemia cells cultured alone.The apoptotic level of AE9a-Rac 1 leukemia cells cultured alone was significant higher than that of AE9a-Rac 1 leukemia cells in co-culture system.Western blot showed that activated level of PARP in AE9a-Rac1 leukemia cells co-cultured with osteoblast was lower than that cultured alone.RT-PCR result showed that TPO and N-cadherin mRNA levels in primary osteoblast separated from leukemic mice were higher than that from normal mice.Ang1 and OPN mRNA levels of osteoblast from leukemia mice were lower.Conclusion Osteoblast cell can support the survival and inhibit the apoptosis of leukemia cells.Leukemia cells can influence the functions of osteoblast by microenvironment associated cytokines production.

ObjectiveTo analyze the quality of life and related factors in patients with depression, and to provide evidence for formulating the corresponding measures to improve the patients' quality of life. MethodsA total of 117 inpatients who met the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition(ICD-10) for depression were selected in Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University and Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital from November 19, 2018 to September 7, 2019. The values of patients' clinical objective indicators consisted of routine blood test, routine urine examination, blood biochemical tests and blood gas analysis were collected by reviewing their medical records, and all subjects were assessed using Quality of Life Instruments for Chronic Diseases-Depression V2.0 [QLICD-DE(V2.0)]. Simple correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between the QLICD-DE (V2.0) scores and various clinical objective indicators, and multiple linear regression was adopted to further screen factors affecting quality of life of patients with depression. ResultsSimple correlation analysis suggested that QLICD-DE (V2.0) total score was positively correlated with total protein and platelet distribution width in patients with depression (r=0.198, 0.281, P<0.05 or 0.01), and negatively correlated with hematocrit (r=-0.300, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that albumin-to-globulin ratio and treatment compliance (B=-19.836, -3.711, P<0.05 or 0.01) were influential factors for physical function. Platelet distribution width (B=2.706, P<0.01) was an influential factor for psychological function. Bilirubin (B=-6.375, P<0.05) was an influential factor for social function. Platelet distribution width (B=2.101, P<0.05) was an influencing factor for specific module. The albumin-to-globulin ratio and platelet distribution width (B=-10.653, 2.114, P<0.05 or 0.01) were influencing factors for total score of QLICD-DE (V2.0). ConclusionTreatment compliance and clinical objective indicators platelet distribution width, bilirubin and albumin-to-globulin ratio may be the influencing factors of quality of life in patients with depression.
