Objective To explore the relation ship between expression of survivin gene in leukemia cells and its clinical effects, and to study the mechanism of survivin resist-apoptosis function in leukemia.Methods Survivin expression was detected by Western blots analysis and expressions of Fas and Caspase were examined by immunohistochemistry in 18 leukemia patients.Results Thirteen cases in peripheral blood mononuclear cell survivin positive expression was detected in 18 leukemia patients(72.2%), but no survivin expression in 10 normal persons. There were significant difference of survivin expression in ALL/ANLL patients groups and different WBC groups(P

Medical microbiology is basic course of medicine.In order to improve teaching quality,we employ discussing-mode education in microbiology.This education style can not only enlighten and train poly-directional thought ability,capacity of bringing forth new ideas and pioneering spirit,but draw close the distance between students and modern life science,which make microbiological course become beginning of exploring microbiology.The employment of education style of discussing microbiology new advance is effective pathway of exploring most suitable high-quality person of talent training.

AIM: To explore the changes in extracellular regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2) in the hypertrophic myocardium induced by pressure overload at the different time courses and to determine the molecular mechanism in the myocardium from hypertrophy to heart failure. METHODS: C57/BL mice, aged 12 week old, were subjected to sham-operation (SH) or transversing aortic constriction (TAC) to establish left ventricular hypertrophy. Echocardiographic assessments, hemodynamic determination, organ weight measurement, morphological and histological examination were performed at 1, 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after surgery. Meanwhile mRNA levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC), bcl-2 and bax were measured by RT-PCR, and ERK1/2 levels were detected by Western blotting. The animals in SH group were performed the same tests then sacrificed at 16 weeks. RESULTS: (1) Compared to SH group, LVESd, LVEDd, Awsth, Awdth, Pwsth and Pwdth progressively increased after TAC. Meanwhile, ejection fraction (EF%) significantly decreased at 16th week (P<0.05). LVSP, dp/dt_(max) and dp/dt_(min) in TAC group were progressively increased after 4 weeks. From 8-12 weeks these parameters maintained stable and then sharply decreased at 16th week (all P<0.05). However, LVEDP was statistically increased at 8th week. These echocardiographic and hemodynamic changes indicated a development of LVH and eventually progressing towards to heart failure. (2) Histologically, cardiac collagen measured by percentage of Sirius red positive stained area and apoptosis index showed progressive increases from 4 to 16 weeks. (3) Compared to SH group, mRNA levels of ANP was time-dependently increased while α-MHC and Bcl-2 were time-dependently decreased. The ratio of Bcl-2 /Bax was decreased. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was increased at 4th week, then decreased with age of TAC (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Pressure-overload induced by TAC results in a development of LVH from early concentric hypertrophy to late eccentric hypertrophy, and eventually toward cardiac dysfunction or heart failure. Those changes are associated with increase in cell size and cardiac fibrosis. ERK1/2 signaling pathway may involve in the regulation of myocardial cell apoptosis in hypertrophic and failure heart.

Objective To explore the effects of aging on ventricular remodeling and cardiac rupture after acute myocardial infarction in mice. Methods　Male C57BL/6 mice of 3 months and 12 months old were randomly divided into sham operation group and myocardial infarction(MI)group.Following acute myocardial infarction(AMI)modeling induced by open-chest surgery,the events of cardiac rupture were monitored and the echocardiography and hemodynamics were performed on the 7th day after surgery.Zymography,immunohistochemical method and pathological staining were used to measure the activity of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs),the content of collagen and the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration on the 3rd and 7th days after surgery,respectively. Results　The incidence of cardiac rupture was higher in elderly group than that in young group(38.0% vs.16.0%,X2=6.139,P＜0.05).Compared with young group,significant infarct expansion,left ventricular (LV)remodeling and hemodynamic deterioration were showed in elderly group on the 7th day after surgery(t=5.754,P＜0.05).The degree of inflammatory cell infiltration and the expression of MMP-9 were significantly increased in elderly group on the 3rd day following AMI modeling(P＜0.05),and the collagen content and the expression of type Ⅲ collagen were significantly increased (P＜0.05)compared with young group. Conclusions　Aging is a risk factor for post-infarct cardiac rupture in the mice model.The mechanisms which are responsible for this age-related difference of cardiac rupture are related to increasing degree of inflammatory cell infiltration, overexpression of MMP-9 and type Ⅲ collagen and aggravated early LV remodeling.

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of caspofungin for the invasive furlgal infection in hematopathic neoplasms patients.Methods The retrospective study of effeacy,influencing factors and adverse reaction in 64 patients with hematopathic neoplasms have been treated with capofungin from January 2007 to February 2009.The SPSS13.0 software Was used for statistic analysis.Results The overall efficacy in 64 patients was 54.7%.The median of effective time for patients with fever and non-fever were 1(1-10) day and 12.5(2-30) days,respectively.There were no significant difference in age,detection of fungus,duration time of neutropenia,hematopoietic stem cell transplant,sraft versus host disease,immunoppressive agents,CT scans,loading dose of caspofungin and salvage therapy between two groups.Drug-related toxicities was low and reversible. Conclusion This study strongly supported caspefungin as an option for empiric and salvage antifungal therapy,and therapeutic effect of caspefungin was not influenced by immune state,neutrophils and CT scans,drug-related toxicities was low.

OBJECTIVETo determine the frequency of trisomy 3 in the intestinal B-cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type and to explore the relationship between these two.

METHODSParaffin embedded tissue sections of intestinal B-cell lymphomas of MALT type, according to WHO classification, were successfully studied. Seven cases were classical MALT lymphoma, being clinically low-grade, and one MALT lymphoma with large cell transform, clinically high-grade. By using biotin labelled DNA probes specific for chromosome 3 centromeric, chromosome in situ hybridization (CISH) were performed. Probe for C16 was used as the positive reference of the method, and chronic intestinal inflammation as the experiment control for detection of C3 copies in tumor cells.

RESULTSOf the 7 low-grade classical MALT lymphoma, 5 showed trisomy 3 and 2 normal C3. The only case of MALT transformed was trisomy 3. The frequency of trisomy 3 in the intestinal low-grade lymphoma was 71.4%.

CONCLUSIONThe frequency of trisomy 3 in the intestinal low-grade lymphoma is high, indicating that it may be involved in the pathogenesis of this disease and may be of value for the diagnosis.

Objectives To explore the clinical symptoms, therapy and prognosis of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) in children. Methods Clinical data of 22 children with TIC from July 2007 to July 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Results TIC was mostly seen in male infants and 81.82%of TIC was caused by atrial arrhythmias. The clinical symptom relieved after arrhythmia and ventricular rates were under control with average effective treatment time of (14.00 ± 8.20) days. Ten patients had tachycardia recurrence, 7 of them had atrial arrhythmia and their clinical symptoms were improved after treatment;while 3 of them showed longer time of therapy with average treatment time of (19.50±8.40) days (P<0.05). Five children underwent radiofrequency ablation before school age and got good therapeutic effect. The post-treatment echocardiographic parameters showed cardiac function of TIC children was significantly improved after treatment, including left ventricular end-diastolic diameter index, left ventricular end-systolic diameter index, left ventricular ejection fraction and shortening score (all P<0.05). Conclusions Childhood TIC is a reversible myocardial dysfunction and its prognosis is good. TIC can be induced by various types of tachyarrhythmias and normally by atrial arrhythmia. The preferred treatment of TIC is administration of antiarrhythmic drugs but radiofrequency ablation is needed to ventricular arrhythmias induced TIC.
