Objective To observe effect of ganciclovir on the treatment of the young child viral encephalitis. Methods 68 cases of viral encephalitis were randomly divided into treatment group(45 cases) and the control group (23 cases), the two groups of children with clinical manifestations and treatment effects were observed. Results Headache, vomiting, convulsions symptoms and the resumption of the time was obviously shorter in treatment group than that of the control group, fever symptoms persisted despite the shortened time, but the difference was not statis- tically significant. Conclusion Ganciclovir in children with viral encephalitis have significant effect.

The present study is to elucidate the mechanisms underlying Gleevec-induced apoptosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) K562 cells in vitro. The apoptotic cell death and cell cycle distribution after Gleevec treatment and the effect of PDCD4 siRNA on Gleevec-induced apoptosis of K562 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The effect of Gleevec on p-Crkl, caspase-3, PARP and PDCD4 protein levels, and the knockdown efficacy of PDCD4 siRNA were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that Gleevec dramatically suppressed the phosphorylation level of Crkl in a dose-dependent manner and induced significant apoptosis and G0/G1 cell cycle arrest of K562 cells in time- and dose-dependent manners. In addition, Gleevec activated caspase-3 and its downstream substrates PARP, and the caspase pan inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (50 micromol x L(-1)) markedly reduced Gleevec-induced apoptosis from 47.97% +/- 10.56% to 31.05% +/- 9.206% (P < 0.05). Moreover, Gleevec significantly increased the protein expression of programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4). PDCD4 knockdown by siRNA reduced Gleevec-induced apoptosis from 46.97% +/- 14.32% to 42.8% +/- 11.43%. In summary, Gleevec induced apoptosis in K562 cells via caspase-3 activation.

BACKGROUND: At present, most of the literature on joint replacement focus on the causes and countermeasures of long-term complications, but seldom focuses on causes of postoperative short-term complications, such as wound exudation and delayed union. Whether the incidence of sustained exudation and delayed wound healing in patients with hypertension after hip replacement is higher than that in patients with normal blood pressure is not reported at present.OBJECTIVE: To identify the correlation of hypertension with persistent wound exudation and delayed wound healing in patients after femoral head replacement.METHODS: Data of 205 elderly patients with femoral neck fractures were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent femoral head replacement. In accordance with the hypertension diagnostic criteria of 2010 Chinese Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension, patients were divided into hypertension group and control group.Intraoperative blood loss, postoperative blood loss, the days of prolonged wound exudation, the wound dehiscence, and the prevalence of delayed wound healing were compared between the two groups. Then, we analyzed the relationship of hypertension with wound exudation and delayed wound healing.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The average systolic blood pressures were 153.55 mmHg and 128.82 mmHg in the hypertension and control groups, respectively (P < 0.05). (2) No significant difference in age, gender, MNA-SF score, diabetes, body mass index, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative blood loss was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). (3) The time of persistent wound exudation was 4.03 days and 2.08 days in the hypertension group and control group, respectively (P < 0.05). (4) The prevalence of delayed wound healing was significantly higher in the hypertension group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). (5) Hypertensive patients had a higher risk of prolonged wound exudation and delayed healing than their normotensive counterparts, and the hypertension is one of the important influence factors for delayed wound healing.

Objective To investigate the common chromosome abnormalities in the patients with multiple myeloma and the relationships of cytogenetic abnormalities and clinical features. Methods The interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) analysis method was designed to detect RB1-/13q14-and 14q32 rearrangements in 49 MM patients. The statistic value of its effect on clinical features were determined. Results FISH disclosed 14q32 translocations in 26 of the 40 (53.1%) patients. 25 out of the 49 (51.02 %) cases were found with deletion of chromosome 13q14 included del(RB1) in 9 (18.4 %) and del(13q14.3) in 18 (36.7 %). 13q14 deletion and 14q32 translocation were simultaneously observed in 18 (36.7 %) cases. Spearman correlation analysis were found associated of 14q32 rearrangement with the percentage of plasma cells in bone marrow (r=0.316, P=0.27). Conclusion The frequency of 13q14 deletion and 14q32 gene translocation in multiple myeloma are high. There is a significant correlation between the presence of 14q32 translocations and chromosome 13 abnormalities in MM patients. The percentage of 14q32 translocation in plasma cells was increased significantly. The 14q32 translocation is an independent prognostic factor.

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin (SV) in combination with cytosine arabinoside (ARA-C) on the proliferation and apoptosis of K562 cells. Methods Human K562 cells were incubated with SV and cytosine arabinoside alone or in combination and K562 cells without any treatment were taken as normal control. Cells in different groups were collected at 24, 48 and 72 h after incubation for further detections. Morphological changes by Wright stain were performed. MTT method was used to assay the growth inhibition rate and cytoflowmetry was used to detect the early stage apoptosis ratio and cell necrosis ratio. Results Compared with Ara-C group and SV group, cells in the group treated with SV combined with Ara-C showed obvious karyopyknosis,apoptosis bodies formation and significant cell growth inhibition, which were positively correlated with culture time. Combination of 15 μmol/L SV and Ara-C showed the most significant cell growth inhibition with a inhibition rate of (72±1) % at 72 h of culture, as was significantly higher than that of 15 μmol/L SV group (45±2) % and 20 μmol/L Ara-C group (44±0) % (P ＜0.01),furthermore, combination of 15 μmol/L simvastatin and Ara-C showed synergistic inhibition with Q value of 1.24 and 1.19 at 24 h and 48 h in each. The apoptosis rates at early stage (AnnexinV) detected by flow cytometry in 20 μmol/L, 15 μmol/L and 10 μmol/L SV treated K562 cells were significantly higher than that in normal K562 cells (P ＜0.01), as were positively correlated with culture time and SV dose (P ＜0.05). There were no significant difference of early apoptosis rate between the 20 μmol/L SV and 15 μmol/L SV groups (P ＞0.05), yet the very two were both higher than that of 10 μmol/L SV group (P ＜0.05). There were no statistic differences of late apoptosis rate (PI) amongdifferent treated groups (P ＞0.05). Conclusion SV inhibited K562 cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis in vitro, and combination of SV and Ara-C exhibited obvious synergistic inhibition and apoptosis, which may increase the sensitivity of K562 cell to chemotherapy. SV at 15 μmol/L may be the best concentration for K562 cells in vitro.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum cholesterol levels and immunoglobin types and clinical stages in the patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the blood lipid levels in 65 patients with MM at diagnosis, including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein Al (apo-Al) and apolipoprotein B (apo-B), and explored relationship between lipid parameters and immunoglobulin types or clinical stages in patients with MM. Thirty healthy persons were served as controls. Results Of the 65 MM patients, 53.85% were IgG type, 63.1 % were at stage Ⅲ. The levels of TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, apo Al and apo B in the patients with MM were significantly lower than that in the controls (P <0.05), and TG in MM patients was no difference with that in the controls (P >0.05). Except one case of IgD type, the levels of TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, apo Al and apo B in Ig G and Ig A types of patients were significantly lower than that in the light chain type among other 64 cases (P <0.05), and TG levels in different immunoglobulin types was found no statistical differences. The levels of TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and apo A1 in the patients with stage Ⅲ were lower than that of stage I and controls (P <0.05), furthermore, the level of LDL in stage Ⅱwas lower than that in stage Ⅰ. Conclusion Hypocholesterolemia are seen in the patients with MM and serum cholesterol levels are related to MM staging.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of posterior screw-rod fixation fusion for the treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation due to rheumatoid arthritis.Methods From January 2011 to December 2015,15 patients with atlantoaxial dislocation due to rheumatoid arthritis were treated,including 6 males and 9 females,aged 35 to 75 years (mean 55 years).All cases were evaluated about the difficulty of relocation by extension-flexion X-ray and treated with posterior screw-rod reduction,fixation and autogenous bone grafting under general anesthesia.Atlantodental interval (ADI) was measured and collected before and after surgery.Visual Analogue Scale/Score (VAS),American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores were comprehensively used to evaluate the clinical effect.1 week,3,6,12 months postoperatively and the annual review of the X-ray and CT were checked,in order to evaluate the reduction,internal fixation and bone graft fusion.Results All patients were reducible dislocation and successfully performed the posterior screw-rod fixation fusion surgery.The patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months (average,15 months).Atlantoaxial solid bony fusion was obtained from 3 to 6 months.ADI reduced from preoperative 6.3±1.7 mm to postoperative 2.2±0.8 mm,VAS score reduced from preoperative 5.4±2.7 to postoperative 1.7±1.0,ASIA motor score improved from preoperative 82.3±15.6 to 95.3±4.5 at 6 months after the surgery,JOA score increased from preoperative 13.8±2.9 to 15.5±1.4 at 6 months after the surgery,and the statistical significance was revealed between preoperation and postoperation.Nine cases were in D grade of ASIA,3 cases improved from D to E grade after surgery,2 cases reached E grade in the other 6 cases after 6 months,2 cases recovered to E grade after 12 months and other 2 cases in D grade got uniformity after surgery.Well internal fixation and no redislocation were found on X-ray and CT during follow-up period.Conclusion Atlantoaxial dislocation because of rheumatoid arthritis was numerously reducible genre.Posterior screw-rod fixation and autogenous bone grafting can gain satisfying clinical efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significances of CD4/CD8 ratio and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The clinical data of 124 MM patients in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from December 2002 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, and 31 healthy people were chosen as the controls. Peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets were detected by using flow cytometry, and the correlations between CD4/CD8 ration and related clinical indicators were also investigated. All MM patients were divided into the high NLR group and the low NLR group according to the media of NLR, and the correlation of them with related clinical indicators, chromosome karyotype, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was also compared.Results:Compared with the healthy control group, the proportion of CD4 + T cells [(35.28±6.58)% vs. (31.85±6.76)%, t = -2.067, P = 0.043], absolute value of NK cells [0.22×10 9/L (0.13×10 9/L-0.59×10 9/L) vs. 0.17×10 9/L (0.00×10 9/L-0.42×10 9/L), Z = -2.614, P = 0.009] and CD4/CD8 ratio [0.97 (0.50-2.69) vs. 0.81 (0.30-1.28), Z = -2.253, P = 0.024] was decreased, respectively. The proportion of CD8 + cells was increased [(36.93±7.38)% vs. (40.50±6.50)%, t = 2.074, P = 0.042] in MM group. The hemoglobin level of CD4/CD8 ratio ≥0.94 group was higher than that of CD4/CD8 ratio <0.94 [(98.89±21.35) g/L vs.(80.60±23.23) g/L, t = -2.066, P = 0.047]. Compared with the healthy control group, NLR was increased in MM group [1.54 (1.10-3.23) vs. 1.95 (0.29-12.70), Z = -2.384, P = 0.017]. Compared with the low NLR group (<1.95), serum β 2-microglobulin [4.56 mg/L (1.63-12.60 mg/L) vs. 6.17 mg/L (1.58-67.50 mg/L), Z = -2.586, P = 0.010] and serum creatinine [84.5 μmol/L (43.0-376.5 μmol/L) vs. 113.0 μmol/L (46.5-754.0 μmol/L), Z = -3.866, P < 0.001] was increased in the high NLR group for MM patients. The proportion of the male patients, β 2-microglobulin > 5.5 mg/L, serum creatinine > 177 μmol/L, stage Ⅲ of international staging system (ISS) in the high NLR group was higher than that in the low NLR group (all P < 0.05), and there was no statistically significant difference in the composition of chromosome karyotype (all P > 0.05). The median OS time in the low NLR group was longer than that in the high NLR group [30 months (20-40 months) vs. 17 months (7-27 months), χ 2 = 4.519, P = 0.034], and there was no statistically significant difference in the PFS of both groups ( P > 0.05). Multivariate Cox analysis demonstrated that the age, corrected serum calcium, serum creatinine, lactic dehydrogenase were the independent influencing factors of OS in MM (all P < 0.05), while NLR wasn′t an independent influencing factor of OS in MM ( P = 0.513). Conclusions:CD4/CD8 ratio is decreased and immune dysfunction occurs in MM patients. MM patients with high NLR have a shorter OS time.
