1.The present situation and future of transplantation therapy for follicular lymphoma in the time of rituximab
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2013;22(6):335-338
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a subtype of B cell lymphoma,which derived from follicular germinal center.As the most common type of indolent lymphoma,the overall prognosis of FL is good.However,the prognosis of FL is heterogeneous.With the application of rituximab,the therapeutic effect and the prognosis of the disease is further improved.For the relapsed / refractory patients,especially who have received first-line chemotherapy with rituximab in the early,transplantation is an important choice.Compared with the previous conventional myeloablative conditioning regimen,reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) effectively reduced the non-relapse mortality (NRM),extended the allogeneic transplantation recipients,but the high rate of relapse after transplantation is the main defect.The application of donor lymphocyte infusion after transplantation therapy not only can reduce the recurrence rate but also treat the disease relapse.In the future,the improvement of transplantation strategy and the application of new drugs may bring new ideas and opportunities for FL therapy.

Objective To investigate influencing factors of perioperative myocardial injury in patients undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Ninty one patients with coronary heart disease (including stable angina and unstable angina) underwent PCI, the perioperative myocardial injury incidence were observed prospectively by monitoring the preoperative and postoperative high sensitivity troponin protein levels to investigate the influencing factors of perioperative myocardial injury by Logistic regression analysis. Results There were no statistically significance in perioperative myocardial injury incidence (62.5%vs 68.7%, P=0.618) and perioperative myocardial infarction incidence (29.2%vs 20.9%, P=0.411) between stable angina and unstable angina groups . These factors of perioperative myocardial injury in patients undergone PCI by Logistic regression analysis were analysed, and we found that the influencing factors were the application loading dose rosuvastatin before PCI, preoperative statin therapy more than one month, apolipoprotein A levels and total stent length. Conclusion Application loading dose of rosuvastatin before PCI, preoperative statin therapy more than one month, apolipoprotein A levels are related to perioperative myocardial injury reduction, whereas the total length of the stent is associated with an increased occurrence of perioperative myocardial injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of baseline Left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on the cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with heart failure was performed. Fifty-four patients [aged (59.73 ± 11.61)years, 31 males, 23 females] who underwent CRT/CRTD were divided into 2 groups according to LVEF ( group A, LVEF≤ 35%; group B, LVEF > 35% ). NYHA class, LVEF,CRT respond rates and medical adverse event (MAE) due to worsening heart failure were detected at 3 and 12 months post-surgery. Results The score of NYHA class changing wasn′t different between these two group. Compared to group B, LVEF was markedly increased (5.08 ± 2.81)% vs (2.45 ± 1.80)%, P < 0.05;(5.38 ± 2.92)% vs (2.39 ± 3.53)%, P < 0.05)at 3 and 12 months post-surgery. Similarly, group A owned high CRT response rates(66.1% vs 33.9%, P < 0.05; 81.25% vs 47.83%, P < 0.05) at the both two time points. At 12 months post-surgery , LVED decreased and the MAE was similar in all groups. Conclusion Patients with EF≤ 35% have more increases in LVEF and own high CRT response rates post-CRT.

Objective :
To investigate the role of hepatic long-chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 in key genes associated with glucose metabolism disorder induced by p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p′-DDE).
Methods:
Human embryonic liver CCC-HEL-1 cells were divided into the DMSO group, 0.1 μmol/L p,p′-DDE group, 1 μmol/L p,p′-DDE group, 10 μmol/L p,p′-DDE group, small interference RNA (siRNA)+DMSO group and siRNA+10 μmol/L p,p′-DDE group. The promoter region methylation, mRNA expression and protein expression of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α), forkhead box transcription factor O1 (FoxO1) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF2) were detected in CCC-HEL-1 cells using the bisulfite method, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay and BCA assay, respectively. The changes in H19 mRNA expression, the methylation of associated genes in the promoter region and transcriptional expression were compared in CCC-HEL-1 among groups.
Results:
Exposure to p,p′-DDE alone at different doses resulted in an increase in H19 expression, and the H19 mRNA expression was higher in the 10 μmol/L p,p′-DDE group than in the DMSO group [(1.31±0.25) vs. (1.02±0.22); P<0.05]. Lower methylation of the HNF4α gene in the pro moter region [(38.59±32.77)% vs. (61.43±24.64)%; P<0.05] and higher HNF4α mRNA expression [(1.33±0.26) vs. (1.03±0.28); P<0.05] were detected in the 10 μmol/L p,p′-DDE group than in the DMSO group, while no significant differences were detected between the two groups in terms of the methylation of FoxO1 and IGF2 genes in the promoter region, FoxO1 and IGF2 mRNA and protein expression (P>0.05). Following siRNA-induced H19 knockdown, higher methylation of the HNF4α gene in the promoter region [(71.33±22.23)% vs. (38.59±32.78)%; P<0.05], lower HNF4α mRNA expression [(0.71±0.17) vs. (1.33±0.26); P<0.05], higher methylation of FoxO1 gene in the promoter region [(47.73±34.24)% vs. (25.09±25.35)%; P<0.05] and higher IGF2 mRNA [(1.39±0.25) vs. (0.80±0.20); P<0.05] were found in the siRNA+DMSO group than in the 10 μmol/L p,p′-DDE group, and higher IGF2 protein expression was detected in the siRNA+DMSO group than in the DMSO group [(1.03±0.11) vs. (0.74±0.12); P<0.05].
Conclusion
Hepatic H19 may alter HNF4α, FoxO1 and IGF2 transcription and expression through mediating the methylation of genes in the promoter region, thereby playing a role in p,p′-DDE-induced glucose metabolism disorders.

With thousands of sequenced 16 S rRNA genes available,and advancements in oligonucleotide microarray technology,the detection of microorganisms in microbial communities consisting of hundreds of species may be possible.The existing algorithms developed for sequence-specific probe design are not suitable for applications in large-scale bacteria detection due to the lack of coverage,flexibility and efficiency.Many other strategies developed for group-specific probe design focus on how to find a unique group-specific probe that can specifically detect all target sequences of a group.Unique group-specific probe for each group can not always be found.Hence,it is necessary to design non-unique probes.Each probe can specifically detect target sequences of a different subgroup.Combination of multiple probes can achieve higher coverage.However,it is a time-consuming task to evaluate all possible combinations.A feasible algorithm using relative entropy and genetic algorithm (GA) to design group-specific non-unique probes was presented.

Objective Fecal biomarkers have emerged as an important tool for assessing and monitoring disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD) .We aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of fecal neopterin and calprotectin in pa-tients with active inflammatory bowel disease and made comparison with that of serum C-reactive protein ( CRP) . Methods A total of 151 consecutive patients with IBD (84 CD and 67 UC) provided 2 gram fecal samples for the measurement of fecal neopterin( FNP) and calprotectin( FCP) concentrations and 2 milliliter blood samples for the serum C-reactive protein measurement before undergoing a colonoscopy.ELISA was applied in the measurement.Clinical disease activities were scored independently according to the Best Crohn′s Disease Activity Index(CDAI) in patients with CD, while the Modi-fied Mayo Scores in patients with UC.Comaprison was made in the relativity of each fecal marker and IBD activity score, the optimum value of diagnosing IBD acitivity as to each fecal marker, as well as sensitivity, specificity, moreover, receiver operating characteristic curve ( ROC) was drawn.50 healthy volunteers who received a normal colonoscopy were also enrolled as the control group and asked to give a 2 gram fresh stool sample. Results The FNP and FCP concentrations in patients with IBD were significantly higher than those in healthy control group(P<0.05).Both FNP and FCP concentrations differed significantly in clinically active IBD when compared with those in patients with inactive disease( P<0.001) .In CD patients, the correlation coefficients of FNP and FCP with CDAI were 0.55 and 0.59, respectively(P<0.001).In UC patients, the correlation coefficients of FNP and FCP with Mayo scores were 0.74 and 0.77, respectively( P<0.001) .The correlation coefficients of serum CRP in CD and UC patients with clinical scores were 0.49 and 0.60, respectively(P<0.001).The area under the ROC curve(AUC) of FNP and FCP for the diagnosis of clinical activity in pa-tients with CD were 0.75 and 0.80, respectively.The AUC of FNP and FCP in UC patients were 0.85 and 0.90, respectively.The AUC of serum CRP in patients with CD and UC were 0.65 and 0.74, respectively.When combined FNP with FCP, the AUC in pa-tients with CD and UC were 0.85 and 0.92, respectively. Conclusion FNP is a novel reliable and non-invasive biomarker to evalu-ate clinical disease activity in patients with IBD as accurate as FCP, It is advisable to combine FNP with FCP to evaluate disease activi-ty in patients with IBD.
