Epigenetic modification, which involve DNA methylation, RNA-associated silencing and histone modification, is implicated in cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, apoptosis and malignant transformation. Some leukemogenesis has been shown to be aberrance of epigenetic modification. This paper discussed the potential causes of some of leukemias correlating with the methylation of cell cycle regulation genes, small interference RNA and modification abnormality of histone after translation. The study on epigenetic modification abnormality of leukemia cells provides a new strategy for treatment of leukemia.

Simultaneously, relevant indices were measured in 2 groups.Results 1.There were no significant difference in serum osmotic pressure,blood glucose and biochemistry before and after parenteral nutrition. 2.There were no significant difference in emerging and lasting time of jaundice between 2 groups.3.Serum IgG,IgA,IgM,C_3,CD4 and CD4/CD8 in study group were significantly higher than those in control group. 4.In study group the time of hospitalization and birth-weight regain were significantly shorter than those in control group.Conclusions There is no significant influence on serum osmotic pressure,blood glucose, biochemistry and bilirubin metabolism during partial parenteral nutrition. Parenteral nutrition may help gain weight, shorten the time of hospitalization, and improve immunological function of neonates.

Objective Ultra-wideband (UWB) microwave imaging is one of the promising alternatives for breast tumor detection, which can provide the desired high resolution and high sensitivity. Methods For UWB microwave early breast tumor detection, a UWB antenna with small size and compact structure is generally desired. To meet the demands of UWB microwave imaging and detection, a novel compact UWB probe is developed and tested. The probe is a combination of an exponentially-flared TEM horn and a pyramidal back-cavity, where the pyramidal back-cavity is employed to block back and side radiation. To increase the operation bandwidth, a low-frequency compensation loop loaded with resistors and a dielectric material block at the throat of TEM horn are added to the probe. Results The compact probe is fabricated and tested by vector network analyzer E8362B, and the results demonstrate an operation frequency band ranging from 1.36GHz to 20GHz for return loss under -10dB. Conclusion The probe can meet the needs of UWB microwave imaging for the early breast tumor detection.

CONCLUSION:LF2000 did ont cause cytotoxicity during a concentration range"tested",and it is hoped to play an important role in gene therapy of human keratocytes.

Objective To explore the clinical value of urethral dilation in treatment of female bladder outlet obstruction. Methods Thirty-five female bladder outlet obstruction patients were selected, and all the patients failed for more than 1 month inαreceptor blocker treatment. The patients underwent urethral dilation under local anaesthesia, once a week, for a total of 12 times. The international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score (QOL) and residual urine volume before and after treatment were examined. Results The IPSS, QOL and residual urine volume after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment: (10.23 ± 6.31) scores vs. (21.41 ± 3.71) scores, (2.31 ± 0.65) scores vs. (5.43 ± 0.60) scores and (20.73 ± 10.59) ml vs. (85.23 ± 12.15) ml, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). Conclusions The urethral dilation is one of the effective treatments for female bladder outlet obstruction patients who fail in αreceptor blocker treatment. It can make a part of patients avoid invasive examination and surgery, and it is worth to be popularized in clinic and primary hospital.

Objective To determine the importance of aneuploidy screening in preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. Methods To perform 11 prenatal genetic disgnosis (PGD) cycles for 7 couples of chromosome translocation carriers from January 2006 to March 2009 in the Reproductive Medical Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. To re-analyze the well-fixed, non-multinuclear and non-debris nuclei using the probes of LSI 13, 18, 21,CEPX, CEPY to detect the aneuploidy rate which come from the PGD cycles of the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. The euploid embryo was defined as two fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)signals of LSI 13, 18, 21 respectively and two signals of CEPX, or one signal of CEPX and one signal of CEPY. The other abnormal signals were defined as aneuploid embryo. Results (1) A tolal of 130 nuclei from 11 PGD cycles got the integrated re-FISH signals. Nine hundred and thirty-seven FISH signals were analysized, including 304 signals from 38 euploid nuclei and the others from 92 aneuploid nuclei. (2) The number of the aneuploid nuclei from grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅲ embryo was 20 (22%), 36(39%), and 36(39%). The number of the euploid nuclei from grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅲ embryo was 13(34%), 17(45%),and 8(21%). There was no significant difference of aneupioidy rate between the embryos form different grades (P＞0.05). However, the rate of aneuploid nucleus from good quality embryos (grade Ⅰ + grade Ⅱ) was 60% (59/92). (3) The euploidy rate was 71.4% (30/42) from balanced embryos, while 9.1%(8/88)from unbalanced embryos. There was significant difference between them (x2=53.4, P＜0.05).The rate of aneuploidy from balanced embryos was lower than those from unbalanced embryos (P＜0.05).Conclusions Since higher rate of aneuploidy was detected in embryos of the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. It is advisable to recommend the FISH re-analysis for aneuploidy screening to preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the couples of chromosome translocation carriers.
