Objective To analyze the characteristics of dysplasia in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS),and identify the risk factors for evolution of MDS to acute leukemia.Methods According to the WHO criterion 2008 of MDS,98 cases were included.As the characteristics of dysplasia,cell morphology,cytogenetics and flow cytometry were analyzed in these patients.Results To the last follow-up,27 of 98 patients transformed to acute myeloid leukemia,including M2 (15 cases),M4 (10 cases),M6 (2 cases).Patients with abnormal Pelger-Hu(e)t had significantly higher risk for evolution of MDS to leukemia,when compared to those without Pelger-Hu(e)t (23/67 vs 4/36,x2 =4.87,P =0.03).Auer corpuscle and small nuclear pathological were also the risk factors of developing to leukemia (19/37 vs 8/61,x2 =16.87,P =0.000; 21/57vs 6/46,x2 =9.14,P =0.003,respectively).37 patients died,the median suvival time was 26 months (95 % CI 13-38) for patients with abnorrnal Pelger-Hu(e)t,19 months (95 % CI 11-26) for patients with Auer corpuscle,13 months (95 % CI 6-19) for patients with small nuclear pathology,respectively (x2 =11.05,13.04,21.05,P =0.001,0.000,0.000).Conclusion Abnormal Pelger-Hu(e)t,Auer corpuscle and small nuclear pathology are indentified as the risk factors for evolution of MDS to leukemia,and they are the infavorable predictors of survival.

Objective To study the effect of surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation on lower limb function in hemiplegic stroke patients. Methods Thirty hemiplegic stroke patients were divided into a treatment group ( 15 cases) and a control group ( 15 cases). Both groups were given conventional rehabilitation training.Additionally, the treatment group was given surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation training, while the control group was given common low frequency electrical stimulation. Brunnstrom's recovery stages, the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and electromyographic parameters were assessed before and after 3 courses of treatment. Results After treatment both groups had significantly higher Brunnstrom and FMA scores and better integrated electromyograms(iEMG), but the effects in the treatment group were significantly better than in the control group. Conclusions Surface electromyogram-triggered electrical stimulation training can provide satisfactory rehabilitation of lower limb function in hemiplegic stroke patients.

AIM:To investigate the immunomodulatory effect of astragalus saponin(AS)on macrophages and explore the mechanism of its immunomodulation.METHODS:By adding different concentrations of AS into cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages in vitro,the influence of AS on the synthesis of nitro oxide(NO)was detected by NO kit(enzymatic method).MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxicity of macrophages induced by AS.The morphological changes of macrophages were observed under transmission electron microscope.LSCM and specificity fluorescent probe Fluo-3/AM were applied to observe the change of Ca2+ in macrophages induced by AS.RESULTS:AS significantly increased NO synthesis,enhanced the effects of mouse peritoneal macrophages on killing carcinoma cells.Cell surface projection exhibited multiplication,becoming thickening and growth longer via transmission electron microscope.Increase in intracellular Ca2+ in macrophages was also observed.CONCLUSION:AS enhances the immune function of macrophages by increasing NO synthesis and enhancing cytotoxicity.The increased intracellular Ca2+ may be the mechanism of immunomodulatory effect of AS.
