Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT) is one of the measures therapy on acute leukemia in children.Very-high-risk children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL),such as Philadelphia chromosome-positive(Ph+),T cell immunophenotype,achieved the first complete remission(CR1),and then receive allogeneic HSCT(allo-HSCT).The transplantation group had significantly improved disease-free survival(DFS)and overall survival(OS) compared with chemotherapy group. ALL children in the second complete remission(CR2) were recommended to receive allo-HSCT,especially early-relapse group. All children in the third complete remission (CR3) were recommended to receive an allo-HSCT,and reduce replapse rate through inducing graft versus leukemia.Total body irradiation-based conditioning regimens in children with ALL has advantage over chemotherapy conditioning regimens.Children with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) achieved CR1 and then undergo all-HSCT.This group had significantly improved DFS and OS compared with chemotherapy group.The children with relapsed AML,if having suitable donor,were recommended to receive allo-HSCT. The children with AML who underwent transplantation relapse,and can receive the second transplantation.There was no advantage in children patients with AML using TBI-based conditioning regimens.Conditioning regimens consisted of high-dose cytarabine,in combination with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor has advantage,and improve DFS. Unrelated umbilical cord blood has emerged as a potential option.Compared with unrelated bone marrow transplantation,there was no different in DFS and relapse.For the extent,it is one of the donor hematopoietic stem cell sources.

Objective To investigate the prognostic factors and survival of patients with bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors (BPC) after surgical treatment .Methods The clinical data of 87 patients undergoing surgery for BPC from Jan .2002 to Dec .2008 were reviewed retrospectively .Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival of the patients .The risk factors such as age , gender ,smoking history ,histological type ,tumor size ,were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards regression model .Results The 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival rates were 85 .1% ,71 .3% and 63 .2% .Univariate analysis revealed that age (P=0 .016) ,smoking history(P=0 .007) ,histological type(P=0 .000) ,tumor stage(P= 0 .000) ,tumor size(P= 0 .006) lymph node metastasis(P=0 .000) ,surgery type (P= 0 .045) and postoperative chemotherapy (P= 0 .000) were prognostic factors .Multivariate analysis showed that histological type(P=0 .008) ,tumor stage(P=0 .000) ,lymph node metastasis(P=0 .033) were independent prognostic factor .Conclusion The survival rate of the BPC patient after surgical treatment is high ,histological type ,tumor stage and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors .

The practice of English teaching of microbiology course using the original edition of Microbiology (Prescott LM et al., 5e, 2002) as textbook have been carried out for two years for undergraduate students majoring in Biology. The strengths of this book are comprehensive coverage, flexibility of organizing, and emphasis on the enhancing the overall ability of students. Its content is excellent with fundamental knowledge, systematic arrangement and up-to-date currency, which helps instructor to construct a suitable system in the course structure and curriculum, as well as to enrich the teaching content and to increase teaching effectiveness. The selection of original edition of English textbook in microbiology course is useful to train high-quality biological talents possessing international view and the adaptive ability of globalization process.

AIM: To establish a HPLC quality control for Chizhihuang Capsules(Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Fructus Gardeniae, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, etc.). METHODS: Shim pack C 18 column was used, and jasminoidin and paeoniflorin were determined at the same time and detection wavelength at 230nm. RESULTS: The standard curve of jasminoidin was linear in the range of 0.30～1.50?g. The average recovery and RSD were 99.58 and 1.57% ( n =5), respectively. The standard curve of paeoniflorin was linear in the range of 0.26～ 1.30?g . The average recovery and RSD were 99.11 and 1.29% ( n =5), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This method is a convenient, reliable and accurate for the quality control of Chizhihuang Capsules.

Objective To study the relationship between renal morphology and renal function,and to assess the value of CT as a criterion to grade renal function.Methods Enhancement CT were performed in 89 patients with no local renal disease whose split renal glomerular filtration rates(GFR)were measured by renal dynamic imaging with ~(99)Tc~m-DTPA.The 178 kidneys were divided into normal renal function,mild and severe renal impairment groups according to renal function.Differences between three groups respect to the mean thickness of renal cortex and parenchyma were assessed by ANOVA.Using Pearson's correlation test,the correlation between the renal cortex,parenchyma thicknesses and renal GFR were examined.The value of CT in predicting renal function was assessed by using ROC analysis.Results The renal cortex thicknesses of normal renal function,mild and severe renal impairment groups were(5.9?1.1),(4.6? 1.1),and(3.3?1.0)mm respectively,and the renal parenchyma thicknesses were(26.3?4.2), (21.3?4.6),(16.2?4.6)mm.There were significant differences of renal cortex,parenchyma thicknesses between 3 groups(cortex F=54.78,P

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effects and operative options for the treatment of Forestier disease.

METHODSFrom June 2005 to May 2012, 8 patients with progressive dysphagia due to Forestier disease were treated through anterior approach, their clinical data were retrospective analyzed. There were 6 males and 2 females, aged from 65 to 83 years old with an average of 73 years. Among the patients, osteophytes removal was performed in 3 cases, osteophytes removal with discectomy and fusion was performed in 2 cases, osteophytes removal with corpectomy and fusion was performed in 3 cases. According to Bazaz dysphagia score to assess the improvement of the patients' symptoms before and after operation.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 40 months with the mean of 18.5 months. Seven cases were asymptomatic and 1 case had mild symptom in the last follow-up. Radiographs showed the space enlargement between vertebral body and trachea.

CONCLUSIONIt is effective to treat patients with progressive dysphagia due to Forestier disease through surgical method. And the operative options depend on the stability of cervical spine and the neurological symptoms of the patients.
