Objective To explore the molecular mechanisms of primary amenorrhea by using arrayCGH technology. Methods Ten patients with primary amenorrhea and 10 female volunteers with regular menstrual cycles as healthy controls were selected. All patients and control samples were analyzed by conventional chromosome analysis (G-banding technology) and array-CGH technology, respectively. ArrayCGH was performed using Affymetrix Cytogenetic 2. 7M arrays following the manufacturer's standard protocol. Results Both the patient group and control group analyzed by conventional G-banding karyotype technology showed a negative result with a normal female karyotype: 46, XX. The result of array-CGH analysis demonstrated a microdeletion of approximately 110 000 bp located at the end of the short arm of X chromosome [46, X, del (X) (p22. 33 )] were identified in 5 patients, which was not detected in the control group. All healthy control samples by array-CGH analysis showed no pathological DNA copy number variation. Conclusions Array-CGH technology can improve the diagnosis rate of chromosomal disease at the DNA level. It is necessary to provide array-CGH for higher resolution genetic analysis of idiopathic primary amenorrhea patient who can not be identified by conventional technology.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between differential expression of VEGF and its receptors and clinical characteristics of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

METHODSExpressions of VEGF and its receptors (Flt-1, KDR) were assayed by ELISA and RT-PCR in healthy donors(20 cases), ALL patients in remission (20 cases), with low risk (29 cases) and with high risk (10 cases). The clinical data of all the patients and volunteers enrolled in this study were collected and analyzed according to the expression of VEGF and its receptors.

RESULTSThe expressions of VEGF were (574.37 +/- 208.45) ng/L, (387.93 +/- 175.86) ng/L, (135.80 +/- 111.28) ng/L and (91.16 +/- 41.34) ng/L in patients with high risk, standard risk, in remission and healthy donors, respectively. Expression levels of VEGF receptors were downwards with risk grades. The clinical manifestations were also in accord with the expression levels of VEGF and its receptors.

CONCLUSIONALL patients with highly expressed VEGF and its receptors are usually with higher tumor burden, and refractory treatment. Detection of VEGF and its receptors might be one of prognostic marker for ALL treatment.

Objective:To explore the association between location of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis and incidence of pulmonary embolism in patients with lower extremity fracture during hospitalization.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted of the 1,620 patients who had been treated for lower extremity fracture and deep vein thrombosis from October 2014 to November 2019 at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Honghui Hospital. They were 726 males and 894 females, aged from 18 to 98 years (average, 64.0 years). By the anatomical location of thrombosis, they were divided into a proximal thrombosis group and a distal thrombosis group; by the laterality of thrombosis, they were divided into a bilateral thrombosis group and a unilateral thrombosis group which was further divided into a left thrombosis subgroup and a right thrombosis subgroup. The incidences of pulmonary embolism were compared between 2 corresponding groups and subgroups.Results:Pulmonary embolism occurred in 13 of the 1,400 patients with distal thrombosis and in 12 of the 220 patients with proximal thrombosis; the incidence of pulmonary embolism in the proximal thrombosis group (5.45%, 12/220) was significantly higher than that in the distal thrombosis group (0.93%, 13/1,400) ( P<0.001). Pulmonary embolism occurred in 10 of the 337 patients with bilateral thrombosis and in 15 of the 1,283 patients with unilateral thrombosis; the incidence of pulmonary embolism in the bilateral thrombosis subgroup (2.97%, 10/337) was significantly higher than that in the unilateral thrombosis group (1.17%, 15/1,283) ( P=0.017). Pulmonary embolism occurred in 5 of the 677 patients with left thrombosis and in 10 of the 606 patients with right thrombosis; the incidence of pulmonary embolism in the right thrombosis subgroup (1.65%, 10/606) was insignificantly higher than that in the left thrombosis subgroup (0.74%, 5/677) ( P=0.129). Conclusions:In patients with lower extremity fracture, those with proximal or bilateral thrombosis are more prone to pulmonary embolism than those with distal or unilateral thrombosis, but the possibility of pulmonary embolism cannot be ignored clinically in those with distal or unilateral thrombosis.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the apoptosis induced by antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) against survivin and the mechanisms after the hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC-7721 cells transfected with the ASODN.

METHODSThe ASODN was transfected into SMMC-7721 cells mediated by liposomal reagent. The changes of cell cycle and apoptotic rate were detected by flow cytometry. The changes of cell skeleton was observed through confocal microscope. The activity of p38MAPK and caspase-3 were detected by immuno-precipitation and kinase activity assess methods, respectively.

RESULTSThere were control, sense control, 400, 600, 800, and 1 000 ng/ml ASODN groups (I - VI). The apoptotic rats were 0.70%, 0.76%, 2.43%, 7.82%, 23.11%, and 31.35% in groups I - VI, respectively, which in the ASODN-transfected groups were higher than that in the control group (tor=20.9, P<0.01). The activity of p38MAPK increased significantly, when the ASODN was transfected at the concentration of 600 ng/ml or more, so did the caspase-3 activity (the p38MAPK and caspase-3 activity in groups I - VI were 7.03, 7.07, 13.47, 16.37, 43.97, 47.87 and 0.015+/-0.010, 0.014+/-0.002, 0.026+/-0.003, 0.042+/-0.001, 0.093+/-0.001, 0.100+/-0.001, respectively).

CONCLUSIONSASODN targeting at survivin mRNA can induce G2/M stop, activate p38MAPK and caspase-3. The activated caspase-3 destroys the cell skeleton microfilament system, resulting in apoptosis.

OBJECTIVEIn order to explore the roles of Huoxueruanjian compound on liver fibrogenesis and its molecular mechanism, this paper has investigated the Influence of blood serum with such traditional Chinese medicine compound on the expression of Smad3, Smad7 and procollagen alpha2(I) gene in hepatic stellate cell (HSC).

METHODSHSC-T6 was deal with different Concentration of blood serum medicine with Heluoshugan which was made by routine way. Then expression change of Smad3, Smad7 and procollagen alpha2(I) mRNA among each groups were observed by RT-PCR. Furthermore, the expression change of Smad3 protein were examined by Western blot.

RESULTSExpression of Smad3 and procollagen alpha2(I) mRNA as well as Smad3 protein had been downregulated after treating with blood serum medicine of Heluoshugan (P<0.01, P<0.05, respectively). The expression of procollagen alpha2(I) mRNA changed at the same tendency as those of Smad3. The role of blood serum medicine was significant difference between different concentration, P<0.05. And the expression of procollagen alpha2(I) mRNA changed in concentration-dependent manner. Blood serum medicine has no effects on the Smad7 mRNA.

CONCLUSIONThe anti-fibrosis roles of HuoXueruanjian Compound maybe influence the function of TGF-beta and Smad by nonspecific action, thereby inhibit the transcription of procollegan alpha2(I) mRNA and decrease the production of ECM. As regards Smad3, it may be facilitating the development of liver fibrosis when its expression increases. Otherwise, it manifest with anti-fibrosis role.

AIM To observe the curative effects of Modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (Codonopsis Radix,Astragali Radix,Atractylodis macrocephalae Rhizoma,ect.) on perioperative period of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis type.METHODS One hundred and twenty cases of elderly intertrochanteric fractures were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,60 cases in each group.All patients underwent closed fracture reduction and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) fixation.During the perioperative period,the control group only received conventional treatment,while the treatment group received conventional treatment and Modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction once a day.The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) of both groups in preoperative and in the 1st day,the 7th day,the 14th day of postoperative were observed and compared.The complications and the curative effects according to the Harris score also were observed and compared between the two groups.RESULTS In preoperative,there was no significant difference in levels of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-α between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the 1 st day of postoperative in the control group were significantly higher than those in the treatment group (P ＜0.05,P ＜0.01).And the levels of IL-10 were similar between the two groups (P ＞0.05).In addition,in the 7th day and the 14th day of postoperative,the levels of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-α in both groups were all decreased,moreover,the descent degree in treatment group was more significant than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01).The treatment group had the lower incidence of complications and the higher curative effects than those in the control group,both differences were statistically significant (P ＜0.05).CONCLUSION Modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction applying to the perioperative period of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis,can effectively reduce the perioperative inflammatory response,reduce the incidence of postoperative complications,and improve the curative effects.So it has a positive effect on the rehabilitation for the traumatic patients and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the efficiency and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)for rectal neuroendocrine neoplasm(NEN). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on data collected from 58 consecutive patients with rectal NEN,who underwent endoscopic ultrasonography and followed by ESD from January 2006 to January 2016 at Peking University First Hospital. Patients′endoscopic and pathological features, clinical manifestations, R0 resection rate and follow-up results were studied. Results En bloc resection was achieved for all of the 58 lesions with a mean diameter of 7.6 mm(range 3.0-18.0 mm). The complete resection rate was 94.8%(55/58). One patient showed postoperative bleeding. The diameter of lesion more than 15 mm increased the risk of non-R0 resection(P<0.05). During the mean follow-up of 3.2 years(range 1.2-11.2 years), all patients remained free from local recurrence. However,distant metastasis was detected in 1 NEN G2 patient with lymphatic invasion(1.7%). Conclusion ESD is effective for treatment of rectal NEN with diameter less than 15 mm and causes less complications. Tumor features and stage determine the risk of distant metastasis,so long-term follow-up is essential.
