Objective To investigate the long-term efficacy of autologous stem cell transplantation for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Long-term follow up of 48 SLE patients with autologous stem cell transplantation were studied. All patients were followed up for 10 years. Among the patients, 24 cases were treated with purified CD34+ cells transplantation and 24 cases were treated with non-CD34+ cell transplantation. Comparison between groups was performed by x2 test. Results Among 5 dead patients, 4 died of transplantation related complications including 3 cases treated with CD34+ transplantion. The survival rate of those patients with more than 10 years duration of lupus was 90%(43/48). Among 43 patients, 7 had disease flare, 6 were treated with non-CD34+ cell transplantation. Eight patients went to college, 26 returned to normal life and 4 of them had children. Conclusion The long-term effect of SLE treated with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is good. The recurrence of CD34+ transplant patients is lower than those treated with non-CD34+ transplantation. The quality of life in SLE patients treated with transplantation is better than those treated with conventional therapy.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of co-infection in initial treatment acute leukemia induction chemotherapy.Methods The clinical features of 179 untreated acute leukemia patients with nosocomial infection were analyzed after combined chemotherapy.Results In the 179 patients,151cases achieved complete remission,the complete remission rate was 84.4 ％,82 cases suffered from nosocomial infections,the incidence of infection was 45.8 ％.The sites of infection were oral,anal,lung,as well as primary foci was not clear bacteremia.In 428 specimens,the isolated bacterial colony counted a total of 66,the number of fungal colonies was 9,the bacterial colony was G-bacteria-based.G-bacteria had different degrees of resistance to many antibiotics.Extended-spectrum β-lactamases strains had not been detected in these specimens.Conclusion Acute leukemia patients is easy to co-infection after chemotherapy.Control and prevention of nosocomial infections should run throughout the entire treatment process,application of laminar flow bed helps reduce the newly diagnosed acute leukemia patients with nosocomial infection incidence.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal human cancers. Cur-rent studies on the relationship between complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and PDAC prognosis have demonstrated inconsis-tent results. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between complicated T2DM and the clinicopathological characteris-tics of PDAC, and evaluate whether complicated T2DM is a significant predictor for overall survival in patients with resectable PDAC. Methods: In this study, clinicopathological characteristics were observed in 136 patients who underwent surgery for PDAC at the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University between January 2009 and February 2011. The relationship between complicated T2DM and overall survival of PDAC patients was analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:The median age of pa-tients was 60 years (range: 35-80 years). Among the 136 patients, 76(55.9%) were male. The prevalence of complicated T2DM was 27.9%in 136 PDAC cases. Preexisting T2DM was not associated with any of the clinicopathological characteristics (all P>0.05). Uni-variate analysis showed that complicated T2DM (P=0.045), maximum diameter (P=0.011), histological differentiation (P=0.013), pT stage (P=0.034), vessel invasion (P=0.032), and pTNM stage (P=0.030) were significantly associated with the overall survival of PDAC patients. The median overall survival time was 14.2 months for T2DM patients, and 18.8 months for non-T2DM patients. In mul-tivariate analysis, complicated T2DM [hazard ratio (HR), 1.873;95%confidence interval (CI), 1.187-2.954;P=0.007], poorly differenti-ated tumor (HR, 2.647;95%CI, 1.413-4.957;P=0.002), and maximum diameter≥4.0 cm (HR, 1.699;95%CI, 1.094-2.640;P=0.018) were the independent predictors associated with poor overall survival. Conclusion:Complicated T2DM was associated with poor prog-nosis. It could be used as a prognostic predictor in patients with resectable PDAC. If confirmed, these findings may provide a novel ap-proach for individualized adjuvant therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the chromosomal abnormalities and prognosis of the myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)patients, and analyze the effects of treatment. Methods Karyotype analysis of 122 patients according to the international human cytogenetics(ISCN) criteria.Treatment of RA and RAS were mainly dependent on agents to induce differentiation of hematopoietic cells and drugs based.RAEB,RAEB-t,CMML treatment were dependent on low-dose chemotherapy and low-dose combination chemotherapy regimens.The treatments of 64 MDS patients with abnormal karyotype were analyzed and compared with control group, and 58 normal karyotype MDS patients were hospitalized in the same period.ResultsAfter treatments,17 cases gained complete remission among 64 patients with abnormal karyotype MDS patients.The CR rate was 26.6 ％.While in control group,30 gained CR in 58 MDS patients with normal karyotype. The CR rate was 51.7 ％. Comparing with the CR patients of normal karyotype, the number of patients with abnormal karyotype of CR was significantly lower (x 2 =8.1 3,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Karyotype analysis shows important significance in the diagnosis and prognosis of MDS.Karyotype transformation demonstrates differently in the risk of leukemia progress.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of resveratrol on plasma glucose and the oxidative stress ability in gestational diabetic rats. A total of 100 SD rats with gestation for 5 days were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin (STZ, 35 mg?kg-1) to prepare gestational diabetic rat model. Rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, which were the normal gestation group, gestational diabetic model group, resveratrol (30, 60, 120 and 240 mg?kg-1) treatment groups, with 20 rats in each group. A total of 20 rats with gestation for 5 days were selected as the normal gestation control group and another 20 rats with no gestation were selected as the normal control group. The levels of plasma glucose and insulin were determined on 0, 7, 14 days after experiment. Two weeks later, the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) in serum were determined. The results showed that compared with the normal control group, there were no significant difference on the levels of plasma glucose and insulin, the content of MDA, and the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT of the normal gestation control group (P > 0.05). Compared with the gestational diabetic model group, the content of MDA in serum of the resveratrol (30, 60, 120 and 240 mg?kg-1) treatment groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05,P < 0.01); the level of plasma glucose were significantly decreased and the level of insulin was significantly increased of the resveratrol (120 and 240 mg?kg-1) treatment groups (P < 0.05,P < 0.01); the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT were also significantly increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). It was concluded that resveratrol had dose-dependent effect on reducing plasma glucose and improving antioxidant ability in gestational diabetic rats, which perhaps related to its effects on raising the level of insulin and improving the activity of antioxidant enzymes.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the status of traumatic infection among earthquake in order to provide reasonable evidence for anti-infective therapy. METHODS Samples were collected from 14 patients with compound fracture or osteofascial compartment syndrome for bacterial,fungal and anaerobic culturing,then according to pathogens to choose antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST). RESULTS Among 14 victims,10 had germ growth in wound secretions,the infection rate was 71.43%. Among 17 samples the bacteria,fungi and anaerobic were isolated in 12,4 and (samples,respectively),the isolated rates were 70.59%,23.53% and 5.89%. The main pathogens for the first culture were Enterobacter cloacae,coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CNS) and Acinetobacter. The Clostridium tetani and C. perfringens were all negative. We also isolated 5 strains of fungi from them 1 strain of Candida. CONCLUSIONS Most of the victims from disaster area have got bacterial infection. Most of them are combined infection,some of the infections are nosocomial infections. The key points of the treatment are to find pathogens immediately and choose a reasonable antibacterial agents according to the AST.
