ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the chromosomal abnormalities and prognosis of the myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)patients, and analyze the effects of treatment. Methods Karyotype analysis of 122 patients according to the international human cytogenetics(ISCN) criteria.Treatment of RA and RAS were mainly dependent on agents to induce differentiation of hematopoietic cells and drugs based.RAEB,RAEB-t,CMML treatment were dependent on low-dose chemotherapy and low-dose combination chemotherapy regimens.The treatments of 64 MDS patients with abnormal karyotype were analyzed and compared with control group, and 58 normal karyotype MDS patients were hospitalized in the same period.ResultsAfter treatments,17 cases gained complete remission among 64 patients with abnormal karyotype MDS patients.The CR rate was 26.6 ％.While in control group,30 gained CR in 58 MDS patients with normal karyotype. The CR rate was 51.7 ％. Comparing with the CR patients of normal karyotype, the number of patients with abnormal karyotype of CR was significantly lower (x 2 =8.1 3,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Karyotype analysis shows important significance in the diagnosis and prognosis of MDS.Karyotype transformation demonstrates differently in the risk of leukemia progress.

Objective:To investigate the neuropsychological characteristics of Chinese agraphia caused by basal ganglia(BG)infarction.Methods:The writing abilities of 40 patients with BG infarction were detected by Chinese agraphia battery(CAB),and all the writing scores and agraphia quotient were calculated.The head CT/MRI images in agraphia and non-agraphia groups were standardized,the infarction were revealed and the superposition of two-dimensional arrays were performed,so that the central tendency of infarction was visually displayed.Results: Among the 40 patients,21 had left BG infraction,and 17 had agraphia;19 had right BG infraction,and 4 had agraphia.The two-dimensional superimposing neuroimages showed that BG infarctions caused agraphia was mostly in the left BG,including the left putamen,the head and body of the caudate nucleus,but there were fewer infarctions in the right putamen and the body of the candate nucleus.BG infarction caused agraphia was mostly aphasic agraphia,which was characterized by the orthographic disorders,paragraphia,and grammar mistakes.Conclusions: BG infarction may result in aphasic agraphia,which suggested that BG is involed in writing and processing,and it is the subcortical center of this advanced neurofunction in writing.

Objective To investigate the role of hydroxyapatite nanoparticle (nHAP) in the gene transfection of human colorectal cancer cell line SW480/M5 and the possible mechanisms.Methods The combination and protection of nHAP-Mg2+ to DNA were analyzed by gelose gelatin electrophoresis.Liposome and nHAP modified by magnesium chloride was combined,and the PEGFP-N1 plasmids were transfected into SW480/M5 cells.The gene transfection rate and the mean fluorescence intensity were observed by flow cytometry.The effect of nHAP-Mg2+ on the growth of the cells were studied by MTT.Results At appropriate proportion,nHAP-Mg2+ could combine the plasmids compeletly and protected the DNA.The gene could not be transferred by nHAP-Mg2+ alone.Combining the nanoparticles and liposome,the gene could be transferred very efficiently and the transfection rates were significantly higher than the liposome (P ＜ 0.05).The inhibition of cell growth was increased along with the concentration of nHAP-Mg2+ wether it was used alone or with the combination of liposome (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions nHAP-Mg2+ has the ability to combining and protecting DNA and can be used to transfer gene as the adjunct carrier of liposome for the gene therapy of tumor cells to elevate the gene tansfection and expression rate and also enhance the anti-tumor effection.

BACKGROUND: Bone defect difficult to manage clinically and it is a big challenge to repair it. Secondary metabolites source from herb has shown potential for the treatment of bone defect. METHODS: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from mice and incubated with urolithin A (UA) (10, 25, and 50 lg/mL). 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was performed to estimate apoptosis and mineralisation was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase assay and alizarin red S staining. A middle femoral defect was induced in mice and bone tissue was prepared for endochondral ossification by treating with UA. The effect of UA was estimated by determining markers of osteoblast proliferation in serum and micro-computed tomography to analyse bone defects. RESULTS: UA enhanced mineralisation of MSCs and osteogenic gene markers in MSCs in vitro. Also, the bone defect score and bone mineral density were improved by UA. Moreover, UA ameliorated the altered Wnt3a protein and histopathological changes in bone defect mice. CONCLUSION Presented report conclude that UA enhances osteoblast proliferation in bone-defect mice by activating the Wnt pathway.

Objective: To observe the survival and side effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Methods: Twenty-eight large HCC patients undergoing SBRT in 302 Military Hospital from November 1, 2011 to January 31, 2014 were observed. The prescribed dose was 39-61 Gy/3-9f. Among them, 20 patients simultaneously received transcatheter arterial embolization. The overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and local control (LC) rates were calculated by using Kaplan-Meier method. The influencing factors of OS were analyzed by Cox regression model. The influencing factors of radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) were identified by using Logistic regression analysis. Results: The 1-, 2-, 3-and 5-year OS rates were 75%, 57%, 54% and 22%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, 3-and 5-year PFS rates were 59%, 47%, 36% and 18%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, 3-and 5-year LC rates were 92%, 86%, 86% and 86%, respectively. Four patients suffered from RILD and none died from RILD. Child-Pugh classification was the influencing factor of OS and RILD. Conclusion It is preliminarily believed that SBRT is an alternative and safe treatment for patients with large HCC.

Objective:To evaluate the trauma center model in general hospitals for patients with severe trauma.Methods:The data of 1,248 patients with severe trauma (ISS≥16) were retrospectively analyzed who had been admitted to the trauma centers in 6 Chinese general hospitals from January 2019 through June 2020. They were 987 males and 261 females with an age of 50.4 years ± 15.4 years. Their injuries were caused by a traffic accident in 622 cases, falling from a height in 357 cases, a knife in 62 cases, and others (like a heavy object and fall) in 207 cases. Upon admission, their injury severity scores (ISS) were 24.9±8.5 and their Glasgow coma scores (GCS) 12.6±3.6. They were all treated in a scientific and standard manner by a multidisciplinary team at the trauma center of their specific general hospital. Recorded were deaths within 30 days after admission, 30-day mortality and causes of death.Results:All the patients were treated effectively. 101 deaths occurred within 30 days after admission, yielding a 30-day mortality of 8.1%. The main causes of death were severe craniocerebral injury in 56 cases, hemorrhagic shock in 26 cases, multi-organ failure in 11 cases and others in 8 cases.Conclusions:Establishment of trauma centers in China can make up for the disadvantage of over-division of clinical specialties in large general hospitals which has led to insufficient care for patients with severe trauma and multiple injuries. The trauma centers in general hospitals may be a feasible model to be popularized in treatment of patients with severe trauma and multiple injuries.
