PurposeTo explore the relationship between expression of apoptosis-modulating proteins and chemotherapeutic efficacy in acute leukemia. MethodsImmunocytochemical method was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2、Bcl-XL、Bax and Bak in 36 cases of acute leukemia including previously untreated/ drug-sensitive group and refractory/relapse group. ResultsThe average positive cell rates of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL in refractory/relapse group were (41.68 ± 14.39) % and (35.96 ± 9.95 ) %, while the rates in previously untreated/drug-sensitive group were (15.64 ± 8.51 )% and (12.91 ± 8.63 )%. Statistical analysis showed the average positive cell rates of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL in refractory/relapse group were higher than those in previously untreated/drug-sensitive group (P ＜ 0.01 ). There was no significant difference in average positive cell rates of Bax and Bak between refractory/relapse group (25.28 ± 15.49) %, (15.53 ± 10.64) % and previously untreated/drug-sensitive group (21.55 ± 12.58)%, (13.23 ± 8.36)%. The Logistic regression of expression of Bd-2 、Bcl-XL、Bax and Bak to complete remission rate (CR) of 36 cases of acute leukemia showed that Bcl-XL was the most risk factor in reducing the CR.ConclusionsBcl-2 and Bcl-XL might play important roles in multi-drug resistance of acute leukemia and Bcl-XL was more important than Bcl-2.

Objective: To investigate the effects of traditional Chinese medicine Baoyuanhuoxue Granula on the state of senile type Ⅱdiabetes before thrombus.Methods: 60 cases of selected senile type Ⅱdiabetes patients were divided into two groups,trial group(treatment with routine western medicine added Baoyuanhuoxue Granula;30 cases) and control group(treatment with simple western medicine; 30 cases).After two months,the changes of expression rate of blood viscosity, nail fold microcirculation and platelet aggregation,D-D,CD-62p and PAC-1 of patients in two groups before and after treatment were observed.Results: Baoyuanhuoxue Granula can reduce the expression rate of blood viscosity,platelet aggregation,D-D,CD-62p and PAC-1 obviously,and can improve nail fold microcirculation.Conclusion: Baoyuanhuoxue Granula can improve the state of senile type Ⅱdiabetes before thrombus.

AIM: To observe the role of c-fos in the protection by cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) against pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). METHODS: The ultrastructure of PASMC was observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM). MDA content,LDH release and the rate of trypan blue in PASMC were measured,and immunocytochemistry technique was adopted to observe the c-fos protein expression. RESULTS: The TEM results showed significant PASMC structural injury in LPS group and alleviated structural changes in LPS+CCK-8 group. CCK-8 reduced the increase in the rate of trypan blue uptake,MDA content and LDH release in PASMC induced by LPS. LPS lightly increased c-fos protein expression,which was enhanced by CCK-8. CONCLUSION: CCK-8 attenuated the injury of PASMC induced by LPS,which may be concerned with the increase in c-fos protein expression.

Objective To evaluate the effect of modified Maze lines plus pulmonary vein (PV) isolation created by radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) on atrial wall guided by a novel geometry mapping system in the treatment of elderly patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Methods After regular electrophysiological study, transseptal punctures were achieved twice with Swartz L1 and R1 sheaths. PV angiographies were conducted to evaluate their orifices and branches. A balloon electrode array catheter with 64 electrodes was put in the middle of the left atrium. Atrium geometry was constructed using Ensite 3000 Navx system. Two RFCA lesion loops and three lines (modified Maze) were created on left and right atrial walls. Each lesion point was ablated for 30 seconds with preset temperature 50 (ae) and energy 30W. The disappearance or 80% decrease of the amplitude of target atrial potential and 10 to 20(|), decrease of ablation impedance were used as an index of effective ablation. Results A total of 11 patients (7 male and 4 female, mean age, 68.7±5.1 years) were enrolled. PAF history was 7.9±4.5 years. PAF could not be prevented by mean 3.1±1.6 antiarrhythmic agents in 6.3±3.4 years. None of the patients had complications with structural heart disease or stroke. Left atrial diameter was 41.3±3.6 mm and LVEF was 59.2±3.7% on echocardiography. Two loops and three lines were completed with 67.8±13.1 (73-167) lesion points. Altogether 76-168 (89.4±15.3) lesion points were created in each patient. PAF could not be provoked by rapid burst pacing up to 600 beat per minute delivered from paroxysmal coronary sinus electrode pair.Complete PV electrical isolation was confirmed by three-dimensional activation mapping. Mean procedure time was 2.7±0.6 hours and fluoroscopy time was 17.8±9.4 minutes. Patients were discharged with oral aspirin and without antiarrhythmic agents. During follow up of 6.5±1.8 months, seven patients were PAF symptom free (63.6%). PAF attacks were decreased more than 70% in two patients (18.2%). PAF frequency did not change in another two patients (18.2%). Conclusions Ensite 3000 Navx guided modified Maze lines plus PV isolation on the atrial wall is safe and feasible in the elderly patients. It has the advantages of exact procedural endpoint, shorter X-ray exposure, fewer complications and satisfied long-term effect PAF control.

Objective To investigate the synergistic effect of 11 β-hydroxysteriod dehydrogenase (11 β-HSD1) and S100A16 on the differentiation of3T3-L1 preadipocytes and its mechanism.Methods Lentiviral vectors PLJM1-11β-HSD1 and PLJM1-S100A16-GFP were respectively constructed and co-transfected into 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.The cell strains expressing 11 β-HSD1/S100A16 were screened with 2.5 μg/ml puromycin for two weeks.Western blot was employed to verify the lentiviral carrier transfection effects.The expressions of marker genes related to the adipocyte differentiation were detected by mean of realtime PCR.Oil red O staining was used to observe the lipid droplet accumulation and the content of triglyceride was measured after differentiation of preadipocytes.The effect of 11β-HSD1 and S100A16 on PPARγ promoter activity was detected by luciferase reporter gene.Results Compared with the empty vector group,the expressions of 11β-HSD1 and S100A16 protein in the lentivirus cotransfected 3T3-L1 cell strain were significantly higher.After 3T3-L1 cell strain co-expressing 1 1β-HSD1 and S100A16 was induced to differentiate for 8 days,the lipid droplets accumulation and triglyceride content were siginificantly increased,along with increased expressions of adipocyte differentiation marker genes such as PPARγ,CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α,lipoprotein lipase,fatty acid synthase,and adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein,in comparison with 11 β-HSD1 or S100A16 overexpression.The result of reporter gene indicated that 11 β-HSD1/ S100A16 enhanced PPARγ promoter activity.Conclusions 11β-HSD1 and S100A16 may jointly promote the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes through a synergistic effect on PPARγexpression and play a critical role in the development of obesity.
