The recently published papers about donor cell-derived leukemia after umbilical cord blood transplantation and related data were reviewed, while the mechanism of leukemia and related problems of umbilical blood conservation were discussed. In view of the possibility of prenatal origin of leukemia, it is necessary to more systematically check the leukemia relapse cases after umbilical cord blood transplantation for exactly identifying the frequency of donor cell derived leukemia and to determine whether the transfer of pre-leukemic clones is indeed present.

F_B has been used in clinic.The results showed that the anti-ulcer effects of F_A were as same as F_B and both of F_A and F_B were dose- dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) on pregnancy outcomes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods One hundred and sixty-six pregnant patients with SLE from Janurary 2010 to December 2015 were studied retrospectively . Fifty-two patients were excluded due to new-onset during pregnancy, active disease or termination of pregnancy as a result of continuous intaking of immunosuppressant. The remaining 114 SLE patients in stable condition before pregnancy were divided into the following two groups: prednisone combined with HCQ and prednisone alone. The effects of HCQ on disease activity and pregnancy outcome were analyzed. Differences between groups were analyzed by chi-square test. Results A total of 90 patients (78.9%) had successful pregnancy. Among 71 patients treated with prednisone combined with HCQ, 60 patients (84.5%) had no disease flare and 62 cases (87.3%) had successful pregnancy. Among 43 patients treated with prednisone alone, 28 patients (65.1%) had no disease flare and 28 cases (65.1%) had successful pregnancy. No abnormality of neither visual field nor fundus was observed among patients treated with HCQ. No congenital abnormalities were found among new born infants. Conclusion HCQ intake during pregnancy in SLE patients can reduce disease flare and improve the pregnancy outcome, indicating that HCQ is safe for SLE patients during pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the protective mechanism of 7-nitro indazole (7-NI) in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage. Methods Seventy-two Wistar rats of 7-day-old were randomly divided into the sham-operation、HIBD and 7-NI treated group. The HIBD models were established in 7-NI treated and HIBD groups.7-NI (100 mg/kg) or peanut oil (10 ml/kg) was injected intraperitoneally 0.5 h before hypoxia in 7-NI treated group or HIBD group. NOS,NO,SOD and MDA were examined at different time (1 h、2 h、6 h、8 h). Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL) method was used to detect neuronal apoptosis. Results NOS and NO level of HIBD group at different time were significantly higher than that of the sham-operation group [NOS:1 h (3.345?0.367)U/mg, 8 h (4.469?0.275) U/mg vs (1.555?0.223) U/mg; NO: 1 h (2.419?0.254) ?mol/g, 8 h (3.556?0.309) ?mol/g vs (0.749?0.135) ?mol/g, P

An automated on-line solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( on-line SPE-LC-MS/MS ) method for the simultaneous quantification of six endogenous phytohormones including abscisic acid ( ABA ) , indole-3-acetic acid ( IAA ) , salicylic acid ( SA ) , jasmonic acid ( JA ) , indole-3-propionic acid ( IPA) and indole-3-butyric acid ( IBA) in rice tissues was described. Plant samples were extracted with methanol and on-line SPE procedure was performed with C18 SPE cartridges. Analytes were eluted to C18 analytical column with mobile phase and further analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The performance of the method was fully validated. Linearity showed good correlation (R2≥0. 99). Limits of detections (S/N=3) were in the range of 0. 1-0. 8 μg/kg. Recoveries varied between 71. 2% and 126%. The method was rapid and sensitive to determine multiple phytohormones in rice young panicles and the results were cross-validated with the off-line SPE-LC-MS/MS phytohormone analytical method. Finally, the method was applied to monitor the changes of ABA, IAA, SA and JA in wounded rice leaves. The trends were in accord with plant physiological processes.

Objective To discussed the relationship between multiple sclerosis(MS)and the genepolymorphism of HLA hoping that these results would be useful for further pathogeny studies,diagnoses,therapy and prognosis estimation of MS.Methods HLA-Ⅱ alleles in 32 patients with MS,36 nonimmunological neurological disease controls and 30 healthy controls,were identified by polymerase chain reaction-specific sequence primers(PCR-SSP)methods.Results The gene frequency of HLA-DR16 (7/32,1/36,0/30),DR11(7/32,3/36,1/30)and DQB1*0502(10/32,6/36,4/30)in patients with MS were higher than those in the 2 control groups.The gene frequency of DQB1*0601(8/32,12/36,17/30)in the patients with MS was lower than the controls.However,only the HLA-DR16 had significant difference (χ2=7.398,RR=17.94,P=0.011;χ2=5.52,RR=9.8,P=0.022).Conclusion HLA-DR16 alleles may be associated with the susceptibility to MS in Guizhou Province.

Objective To explore the interfering effect of mucosal evolution on the budesonide treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps after endoscopic surgery (ESS). Methods 174 cases of type Ⅱ stage 3 and type Ⅲ chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps were randomly divided into experimental group (94 cases) and control group(80 cases). After ESS, budesonide was given to the experimental group (128 μg each side per day), but not to the control group. The comparison of mucosal edema, nasal pus accumulation, sinus meatal window, and epithelia of operation cavity were carried out respectively between two groups. Results 4 weeks later, class Ⅰ in experimental group was 46.8% (44/94), in control group was 30.0% (24/80) (P<0.05); 4 to 12 weeks later, the transfor-marion from class Ⅱ to Ⅰ in experimental group was 90.0% (45/50), in control group was 57.1% (32/56) (P<0.01); 12 weeks later, the total class Ⅰ in experimental group was 94.7% (89/94), in control group was 70.0% (56/80) (P < 0.01). The difference between 2 groups was of statistical significance. Conclusion Emphasizing the importance of integrated treatment after operation, ESS for the patients of sinusitis with nasal polyps was feasible, meanwhile, continuous use budesonide could alleviate mucosal edema, lessen conglutination, accelerate epithelia, and prevent recurrence of nasal polyps.

Objective To identify predictive factors of survival to in-hospital children with post-cardiorespiratory arrest.Methods Eighty-seven patients who had cardiorespiratory arrest(CRA)and received cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)were reviewed from January 2006 to December 2008.The clinical data was analyzed to identify predictive factors of survival by Pearson X~2 test and multivariate and unconditioned Logistic regression analysis.Results Forty-three of eighty-seven cases received return of spontaneous circulation,the initial sunvival rate was 48.3%,31(35.6%)cases survived for 24 hours,19(21.8%)cases survived to hospital discharge.Primary diseases and complications,the type of arrest,tracheal intubation or not,the duration of CPR,the dose of adrenaline,the body temperature post-resuscitation for 24 hours,the glucose post resuscitation for 6 hours and complications were obviously associated with both initial and long-term survival.Logistic regression analysis revealed that primary diseases and the duration of CPR were predictive factors of both survival for 24 hours and hospital discharge,additionally,the body temperature post-resuscitation for 24 hours were predictive factor of survival to hospital discharge.Conclusion Initial and long-term survival rate of in-hospital children with post-resuscitation was both low.Primary diseases and complications,good quality CPR and management of post-resuscitation affect survival,especially primary diseases and the duration of CPR may predict initial survival and primary diseases,the duration of CPR and the body temperature post-resuscitation for 24 hours may predict long-term survival.

Objective To compare the effect of contrast medium by left or right side ulnar vein injection on the quality of enhanced CT images. Methods One hundred and sixty-five consecutive patients underwent thoracic CT contrast enhancement examination with multi-detector CT and scan delay time was 60 seconds. According to group sampling, subjects were divided into three groups: young age group ( < 40 years old) 35 cases, middle age group( 40-60 years old ) 60 cases, elder age group( > 60 years old ) 70 cases, and then patients were divided into two groups by random digits table with left side ulnar vein injection (left vein group, 77 cases ) and right side ulnar vein injection ( right vein group, 88 cases ) . Anteroposterior dimension between posterior border of manubrium sterni and anterior border of aortic arch (or brachiocephalic artery) where left brachiocephalic vein acrossing was measured and analyzed with relation of image quality. Results The anteroposterior dimension showed a statistical significant difference between young age group and elder age group(P< 0.05), but no statistical difference between middle age group and elder age group(P> 0.05). The CT value in left vein group and right vein group was (106 ?24 ), (149 ?29 ) HU respectively, and there was statistical difference between two groups (P<0.05). The good quality CT image in left vein group and right vein group was 61.0% (47/77),79.5% (70/88), and there was statistical difference (P <0.05). Conclusion CT contrast enhancement examination with right ulnar vein injection rather than left side may improve the quality of images by avoiding compression of left brachiocephalic vein in some patients .
