Objective To study the immunophenotype and chromosome karyotype of 57 adult patients with newly?diagnostic acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL). Methods The immunophenotype and chromosome karyotype of 57 adult patients with newly?diagnostic ALL were determined by using flow cytometer and karyotyping,and then the clinical characteristics and significance were analyzed. Results In patients with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B?ALL),the expression of CD19 and CD22 were significantly higher than CD10 and CD20(P<0.05). The expression of CD7 and CD3 were much higher in patients with T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(T?ALL). As for the early antigen,patients of all subtypes of ALL showed high expression rate of CD34 and CD38. In addition,the HLA?DR was only detected in B?ALL. There was no difference in comparison with clinical characteristics,total rate of CR and rate of relapse between ALL with and without myeloid antigen expression. The expression rate of CD34 and HLA?DR was higher in My+?ALL(P<0.05). The relapse rate was much higher in these patients with abnormal karyotype than other pa?tients(P<0.05). Patients with high?risk karyotype showed higher expression rates of CD20 and CD3 than those with standard?risk. Conclusion The immunophenotypes and chromosome karyotypes show obviously heterogeneous features,and the patients with abnormal karyotypes have higher relapse rate. These above mentioned methods are applicable for the diagnosis and individualized treatment of ALL patients.

Objective To explore the difference in the regulating effect of electroacupuncture on serum insulin (Ins) and fat consumption between male and female simple obesity rat and the possible mechanism of its action.Methods A rat model of simple obesity was made by induction with sodium glutamate. The rats were randomized into model and electroacupuncture groups (male and female), 10 rats each. A normal group of 10 rats (male and female) was established as a control. Points Quchi, Zhongwan, Guanyuan, Housanli, Fenglong and Sanyinjiao were selected in the electroacupuncture group. Stimulation with a low frequency of 2 Hz was provided after needle insertion. The treatment was given once daily for 28 consecutive days. Serum Ins content, and greater omentum, pericardiac and perirenal fat weights were measured in the male and female groups of rats before and after electroacupuncture intervention. The comparisons were made.Results Serum Ins content, and greater omentum, pericardiac and perirenal fat weights were significantly lower in the electroacupuncture male and female groups of rats than in the model male and female groups of rats (P<0.01) and also in the electroacupuncture male group of rats than in the electroacupuncture female group of rats (P<0.05).Conclusions Electroacupuncture has different degrees of weight-reducing effect in both male and female obesity rats. The reducing effect on serum Ins content, and greater omentum, pericardiac and perirenal fat weights is better in male obesity rats.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin (rh-endostatin) combined with cis-platinum for patients with malignant pleural effusions.Methods A computer-based online search was performed through Elsevier, PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese BioMedical Literature Database and Wanfang Database.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the randomized controlled trials about short-term therapeutic effect of rh-endostatin combined with cis-platinum on malignant pleural effusions published until December 2015 were selected.Quality of the studies was assessed using modified Jadad scale.After data extraction, a Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.Relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.The Egger test was performed by Stata 12.0 software.Results Fourteen eligible randomized controlled trials were included in this Meta-analysis involving 1 330 patients,665 in cis-platinum alone group(control group), and 665 in rh-endostatin combined with cis-platinum group(treatment group).The results showed that there were significant improvements in overall response rate (ORR) [73.53% vs 45.41%,RR=1.62,95%CI(1.47,1.78),P<0.000 01] and the rate of quality of life improvement [71.65% vs 46.94%,RR=1.52,95%CI(1.38,1.68),P<0.000 01] in the treatment group, as compared with those of the control group.Meanwhile, there were no statistically significant differences in the rate of cardio toxicity [10.38% vs 5.77%,RR=1.73,95%CI(0.99,3.03),P=0.06].Conclusion This Meta-analysis indicated that in comparison with cis-platinum alone, rh-endostatin combined with cis-platinum has a better therapeutic effect on malignant pleural effusions.

Objective To explore the expression of Metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and its relationship with clinical pathologic characteristics and prognosis Methods The expression of MACC1 was detected in 130 cases of NPC and the relationship among the MACC1 expressions, clinical pathologic characteristics and prognosis of NPC was analyzed. Results Positive expression rate of MACC1was 68.5% in the NPC and MACC1 expression was associated with advanced T stages, lymph node metastasis and advanced clinical stages of NPC (P < 0.05). The results of Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the five year overall survival rate in patients with positive expressions of MACC1 (45.9%) was significantly lower than that of those with negative expressions (73.7%) and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), Cox multi-factor analysis results showed that MACC1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for NPC (P = 0.004). Conclusion MACC1 abnormal expression is closely related to the invasion and metastasis of NPC and it is expected to become a new target for gene therapy of NPC.

Results:After 4 weeks of intervention, the MMSE scores of the experimental group and the control group were improved compared with those before intervention (the experimental group (26.39±1.90) and (24.42±2.69), t=10.824, P<0.001; the control group (25.45±1.77) and (24.61±2.16), t=7.325, P<0.001), and the experimental group was significantly better than the control group ( t=2.049, P=0.045)). The duration of three tests of executive function in the experimental group and the control group was significantly shorter than that before the intervention (Flanker task: the experimental group (752.38±178.28) ms and (939.42±260.11) ms, t=10.467, P<0.001; the control group (863.40±227.86) ms and (951.67±265.93) ms, t=8.140, P<0.001.1-back task: the experimental group (983.31±314.16) ms and (1 242.10±444.77) ms, t=10.386, P<0.001; the control group (1 186.89±293.80) ms and (1 238.27±305.95) ms, t=9.569, P<0.001.More odd shifting task: the experimental group (1 121.29±260.17) ms and (1 362.32±352.80) ms, t=13.084, P<0.001; the control group (1 255.81±269.41) ms and (1 351.37±287.46) ms, t=8.550, P<0.001), and the experimental group was significantly better than the control group (Flanker task: t=2.198, P=0.032; 1-back task: t=2.691, P=0.009; more odd shifting task: t=2.044, P=0.045). The results of 10 m walking test in the experimental group and the control group were improved compared with those before the intervention (single task walking time: the experimental group (20.71±9.61) s and (26.10±13.88) s, t=6.312, P<0.001; the control group (22.42±9.60) s and (25.62±10.97) s, t=13.009, P<0.001). The duration of dual task walking: the experimental group (22.73±10.28) s and (31.64±16.07) s, t=7.931, P<0.001; the control group (28.30±11.72) s and (31.89±13.65) s, t=9.348, P<0.001.The cost of dual task walking: the experimental group (10.32±6.87)% and (23.26±11.40)%, t=10.602, P<0.001; the control group (27.39±7.38)% and (24.94±7.48)%, t=2.719, P=0.011). The 10 m walking test time of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group ( t=2.027, P=0.047), and the walking time cost of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group ( t=9.583, P<0.001). Conclusion:Cognitive walking dual task training can improve the walking function of patients, which is more conducive to the recovery of executive function than conventional walking training.

Objective: To observe the effects of moxibustion at different times on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and arginine vasopressin (AVP), in the uterine tissues of rats with dysmenorrhea due to cold-dampness retention, and to explore the differences and possible mechanisms of moxibustion at different times in easing pain in dysmenorrhea due to cold-dampness retention. Methods: Forty-three female Wistar rats were randomly divided into a blank control group (n=7), a model group (n=9), a pre-moxibustion group (n=9), an immediate-moxibustion group (n=9) and a pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion group (n=9). Rat models of primary dysmenorrhea due to cold-dampness retention were established using (0±1) ℃ ice water immersion method combined with injection of estradiol benzoate for 10 d, followed by injection of oxytocin on the 11th day. Rats in the 3 intervention groups received moxibustion to Shenque (CV 8) and Guanyuan (CV 4), 10 min for each acupoint, once a day. Rats in pre-moxibustion group were given mild moxibustion, beginning on the 8th day during modeling, for 3 continuous days; rats in immediate-moxibustion group were given one time mild moxibustion, immediately after injection of oxytocin on the 11th day during modeling; rats in pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion group were given mild moxibustion, beginning on the 8th day during modeling till immediately after injection of oxytocin on the 11th day during modeling, for 4 continuous days. The level of PGF2α in the rat uterine tissues was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the levels of PGE2 and AVP in rat uterine tissues were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results: Compared with the blank control group, the levels of PGF2α and AVP, the PGF2α/PGE2 ratio in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the PGE2 level was significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the rat uterine tissues in the model group. Compared with the model group, the writhing latency was significantly prolonged, the writhing number and the total writhing score were all decreased in the pre-moxibustion group, the immediate-moxibustion group and the pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion group (all P<0.01); the levels of PGF2α and AVP, and the PGF2α/PGE2 ratio were all significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the PGE2 level was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the rat uterine tissues of the 3 treatment groups. Compared with the pre-moxibustion group, the writhing number and the total writhing score were all decreased in the immediate-moxibustion group and the pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion group (all P<0.01), the writhing latency was significantly prolonged in the pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion group(P<0.01); the levels of PGF2α and PGF2α/PGE2 ratio were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the PGE2 level was significantly increased (P<0.01) in rat uterine tissues in the immediate-moxibustion group and the pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion group. Compared with the immediate-moxibustion group, the writhing latency was significantly prolonged and the writhing number was decreased (all P<0.05), and the total writhing score was decreased (P<0.01) in the pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion group; the PGF2α level and the PGF2α/PGE2 ratio were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the PGE2 level was significantly increased (P<0.01) in rat uterine tissues in the pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion group. Conclusion: Moxibustion at different times all can produce obvious analgesic effects on dysmenorrhea due to cold-dampness retention in rats, and pre-moxibustion plus immediate-moxibustion ranks the top. The mechanism of this analgesic effect may be via the regulation of abnormal PGF2α, PGE2 and AVP levels, to effectively inhibit the spastic contraction of uterine smooth muscle in dysmenorrhea rat, thereby improving the ischemia and hypoxia in uterus.
