Objective Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Auto-HSCT) has been widely used in hematological malignancies.To mobilize and harvest sufficient number of peripheral CD_(34)~+ cells is one of key issues for auto-HSCT. Peripheral CD_(34)~+ cell numeration has been used as an indicator for apheresis while we mostly rely on the peripheral WBC or MNC count. In this study, we try to evaluate the association of peripheral CD_(34)~+ count to the CD_(34)~+ cells number in the apheresis product and to find out a potential threshold. Methods From Jan 2007 to Dec 2009, a total of 57 apherosis for auto-HSCT were analysed. All patients were mobilized by cyclophophamide (CTX) plus G-CSF(5-10μg/kg) regimen. The apheresis were performed with COBE SPECTRA VERSION 6 and CD_(34)~+ count of both peripheral and apheresis products were analysed by flow cytometry. Results The median number of MNC in apheresis products was 4.6(0.3-10.5)×10~8/kg with median CD_(34)~+ cells at 2.4(0.16-34.9)×10~6/kg. The peripheral CD_(34)~+ count was the only parameter associated with the MNC and CD_(34)~+ cell numbers in the apheresis products while the WBC number was irrelevant to the results of apheresis. Our data showed that when the peripheral CD_(34)~+ count reach 15/μl, the efficacy of a single apheresis significantly improved with 81 % and 60 % reached 1 and 2×10~6 CD_(34)~+ cells/kg respectively and the total number of MNC and CD_(34)~+ cells were significantly superior to apheresis with peripheral CD_(34)~+ cells <15/μl, thus indicated that CD_(34)~+ ≥15 /μl can be used as the threshold for apheresis. Furthermore, the ROC analysis demonstrated that CD_(34)~+ cells ≥25(26.5-28.6) /μl is the best indicator level for a successful single apheresis. Conclusion Our study clearly showed that peripheral CD_(34)~+ cell count is a key indicator of apherosis. CD_(34)~+ cells at 15/μl can be used as the threshold to start apheresis in the clinical setting.

Objective To analyse the clinical features of pelvic insufficiency fractures (PIF) in patients with cervical cancer after radiotherapy and explore the risk factors affecting its occurrence .Methods 55 cases of patients with cervical cancer that used radia-tion therapy as a single treatment were chosen in our hospital from February 2007 to May 2010 and the clinical features were ana-lysed;The fractures of spine ,sacrum ,sacroiliac joint ,ilium and pubis and femoral were observed and the density of fifth lumbar (L5 ) vertebrae ,left and right sacrum were detected via the CT or MRI (Hounsfield Unit)after 2-year follow-up ,the different factors on the incidence of PIF were explored .Results 12 cases (19 sites) of patients in 55 patients occured PIF after follow-up 2years ,the cumulative incidence was 21 .82% ;the distribution of PIF parts were followed :lumbar vertebrae had 5 cases ,sacral had 5 cases ,pu-bis had 4 cases ,sacroiliac joint had 2 cases ,iliac had 2 cases and femoral head had 1 case .The incidence rate of PIF that density of fifth lumbar vertebrae was ≤130 HU and >130 HU were 16 .36% and 5 .45% respectively ,the PIF′incidence rate that density of left side of sacrum was≤ -35 HU and > -35 HU were 18 .18% and 3 .64% respectively ,the incidence rate of PIF that density of right side of sacrum was ≤ -35 HU and > -35 HU were 20 .00% and 1 .82% respectively ,the density of the three parts all had statistical difference on the incidence of PIF (P<0 .05) .Univariate analysis showed that menopausal status and the average density of CT had statistical effects on PIF (P<0 .05);Multiple analysis showed that the average density of CT was the independent factors affecting PIF′incidence after radiotherapy .Conclusion The patients with cervical cancer may occur pelvic insufficiency fracture af-ter radiotherapy ,and its incidence is related to menopausal status and bone mineral density .

To prepare large naive phage antibody library, the host bacteria with high transformation efficiency is used in the Cre-LoxP recombination system. The variable regions of immunoglobulin light and heavy genes were amplified from lymphocytes collected from adult peripheral blood and newborn cord blood. The genes were spliced to form the single-chain variable fragments (scFv) by overlap PCR, cloned into pDAN5a vector and then transformed into XL2-blue MRF' with the Hte gene. Compared with XL1-blue strain, the size of the primary library was increased by 3.9 times. The primary library infected Cre recombinase-expressing bacteria, and the genes between phagemids created many new VH/VL combinations. The library was calculated to have a diversity of 1.7 x 10(11) and validated by the selection of antibodies against six different protein antigens. This library provides the basis for further selection of antibody-based drugs. It is the first time to report that XL2-blue MRF' can be used to improve the diversity of the library in the recombination system.

Objective To observe the effect of depressive disorder on ventricular remodeling and its mechanism in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rats. Methods Forty-six AMI Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operation (n=10), AMI (n=12), depression (n=12), neurostan by open field test, and the detection of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ag Ⅱ ), aldosterone (ALD), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) were performed, the pathological sections were observed under light and electron microscopes. Results Compared with sham-operation group, depression group had decreased values of squares crossing times, rearing times and grooming time, increased time of staying in the central square and defecation. Compared with depression group, AMI and neurostan treatment groups had increased values of squares crossing times, rearing times and grooming time,decreased time of staying in the central square and defecation (F=16. 9, 44.56, 71.79, 34.86,29. 18, P＜0.01). At the 4 week of test, the left and right ventricular relative weights (LVRW,RVRW) and thickness of interventricular septum were (1.63±0.15) mg/g, (0. 48±0. 10) mg/g and (1.75 ± 0. 38) mm in sham-operation group, the corresponding data were (2.06±0.21) mg/g,(0.62±0.10) mg/g and (2.25±0.30) mm in AMI group, (2.90±0.47) mg/g, (1.00±0.28) mg/gand (2.58±0.34) mm in depression group, (2.20±0.34) mg/g, (0.67±0.15) mg/g and (2. 25±0.23) mm in neurostan treatment group. Compared with sham-operation group, AMI, depression and neurostan groups had obviously increased values of LVRW, RVRW and thickness of interventricular septum. Compared with depression group, AMI and neurostan groups had decreased LVRW, RVRW and thickness of interventricular septum (F=6.31, 21.9, 115.7, 9.91, P＜0.05). And the depression also could aggravate edema and injury of ultrastructure in myocardial tissue. The values of AgⅡ , ALD, MDA and SOD were (1957.5±662.6) ng/L, (0.453±0.111) ng/L, (16. 00±3.03)nmol/L and (80.57 ± 7.00) U/ml in depression group, the corresponding data were (1143.8± 98.0)ng/L, (0.198±0.087) ng/L, (8.03 ± 0.44 ) nmol/L and (95.20 ± 4.87) U/ml in sham-operated group, (1407.5±255.8) ng/L, (0.295±0.027) ng/L, (11.18±4.30) nmol/L and (87.33±3.51)U/ml in AMI group, (1400.0±239.0) ng/L, (0.326±0.073) ng/L, (11.88±3.36) nmol/L and (89.13 ±0.17) U/ml in neurostan group. After 4 weeks, the values of Ag Ⅱ , ALD and MDA increased in depression group while the level of SOD reduced (F=6.58, 11.9, 11.39, 8. 82, P＜0.05). Conclusions Depressive disorder after AMI in rats can aggravate ventricular remodeling and lower the ability of antioxygen.

Objiective To evaluate the histocompatibility of gelatin-bletilla/Salvia-miltiorrhiza i material and to discuss the appropriate concentration of salvia-miltiorrhiza in the material. Method Salvia-miltiorrhiza together with gelatin and bletilla was used to make a kind of porous membranes. A total of 175 rats were divided randomly (random number) into 5 groups ( n = 35 in each). The porous membranes containing salvia-miltiorrhiza material in different concentrations of 1, 2, 4, and 5 mL/100 g were implanted subcutaneously into the rats of the four experimental groups, respectively. The gelatin-bletilla material without salvia-miltiorrhiza was implanted into the rats of control group. In 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56 days after implant, the materials were taken out of the bodies of the rats, separately. The material implanted for 1, 3, 7 and 14 days were observed with immunohistoche-mistry. Results In the area of implant, no noticeable inflammation or other was found. The implanted materials were degraded and entirely absorbed in vivo in 8 weeks. The salvia-miltiorrhiza in concentration of 2 mL/100 g in vivo promoted the angiogenesis most significantly. Conclusions The gelatin-bletilla/salvia-miltiorrhiza material has excellent histocompatibility and the appropriate concentration of salvia-miltiorrhiza in material is 2 mL/100 g.
