Objective To explore the method for early diagnosis of masked polycythemia vera (mPV) by comparing and analyzing the features of mPV and polycythemia vera (PV). Methods A total of 200 newly diagnosed male patients were collected based on diagnostic criteria, including 100 cases of PV and 100 cases of mPV. Erythropoietin (EPO), neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP) score, bone marrow biopsy (BMB), and JAK2 V617F mutation were evaluated in all cases. After 6 months, hemoglobin (Hb) and JAK2 V617F mutation load were detected in patients without special treatment in two groups during follow-up. Results EPO, NAP score, BMB hematopoietic volume and the number of megakaryocyte had no statistical differences between PV group and mPV group [(3.4 ± 0.7) U/ml vs. (3.2±0.6) U/ml, (276±20) score vs. (278±21) score, (78±10) % vs. (76±9) %, (53±6) vs. (51±5), respectively], while JAK2 V617F mutation load in PV group was higher than that in mPV group[(89.2±9.4) % vs. (78.1±8.6) %, P<0.05]. In mPV patients without special treatment, Hb ≥185 g/L was found in 37 patients after 6 months, and the level of Hb and JAK2 V617F mutation load in these 37 patients reached (194±8) g/L and (90.7±9.1) %, respectively. Conclusions There is no significant difference in EPO, NAP score and BMB between PV and mPV, but the JAK2 V617F mutation load is different. In mPV patients without special treatment, Hb level can reach the typical PV diagnostic criteria after 6 months, meanwhile, JAK2 V617F mutation load is also increased.

This study is to investigate the effect of total flavonoids of Uygur medicine bugloss (BTF) on rats with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, and to explore the mechanisms by which it acts. Left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery in rats was occluded for 30 min followed by 4 h reperfusion. Meanwhile, BTF dissolved in saline was administered intraperitoneally at dosage of 10, 30 and 50 mg x kg(-1). Electrocardiograph, infarction index, serum myocardial enzymes and heart function were determined to evaluate the effect of BTF. Some other observations were carried out to explore whether inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis is involved in the mechanisms underlying BTF. Our results showed that in ischemia/reperfusion injured rats BTF could dose-dependently reduce myocardial infarction index and myocardial enzyme leakage, and enhance heart function, indicating that it possesses significant cardio protection. ELISA analysis showed that BTF could decrease the content of myocardial inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha. Western-blotting confirmed that BTF could increase the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and reduce the expression of proapoptosis protein Bax. Further more, the phosphorylation level of PI3K and Akt was upregulated by BTF treatment. BTF can protect rat against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Anti-inflammation and inhibition of apoptosis through upregulating PI3K/Akt signal pathway may contribute to the protective effect of BTF.
