Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(02):-
Recenly,the incidence of posttransplatation lymphoproliferative disorder(PTLD) is rising,Immunodeficiency and EBV-infection are risk factors of pathogenesis related. The majority of PTLD originates from malignant proliferation of B-cell.Typical pathologic findings of PTLD are large number of plasmacytoid B cells in lymphotic tissue and often with necrosis in regional areas. Molecular biology findings are ras or p53 gene mutation and c-myc?bcl-6 gene rearrangement. Highly immunosuppressed patients may present with diffuse infiltration and functional failure of multiple organs,the prognosis is poor. Except for the decrease or discontinuation of the immunosuppressive therapy,antiviral agents and interferon- ?,anti B-cell monoclonal antibodies,autologous EBV-specific cytotoxic T cell and combination chemotherapy may achieve better responses.

Objective Developmental mandibular asymmetry is a common deformity in the human craniofacial skeleton and the treatment is not easy to get satisfactory results. A retrospective study was performed to investigate the clinical results and stability after treatment of developmental mandibular asymmetry by using combination of orthognathic surgery with orthodontics. Methods 58 cases of developmental mandibular asymmetry were treated by preoperative orthodontics-orthognathic surgery -postoperative orthodontics procedure. 82 times of operation, such as mandibular osteotomy, bimaxillary osteotomy, jaw plastic surgery, genioplasty, and distraction osteogenesis were performed according to different type of asymmetry. The facial appearance and occlusion relationship were evaluated with 1~4 years of follow-up. Results Satisfactory results were achieved in 53 cases (91.4 %). Primary satisfactory results were obtained in 4 cases (6.9 %). 1 case (1.7 %) with unsatisfactory result obtained aesthetic effect and ideal occlusion after operation again. Conclusions It is essential to use both of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery in order to ameliorate facial appearance, resume occlusal function, achieve good corrective result and prevent the recurrence of the developmental mandibular asymmetry.

Objective To investigate the changing of endothelial progenitor cells and nitric oxide in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Method Mononuclear cells from 20 healthy persons (the control group, n = 20) , COPD patients without PAH (COPD non-PAH group, n =30) and patients with PAH secondary to COPD (COPD and PAH group, n=30) were investigated. Total mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. EPC number and migration were assayed by colony forming unit-EPCs (CFU-EPCs) assay and modified Boyden chamber assay , respectively. EPC adhesion assay was performed by replanting those on fibronectin-coated dishes , then adherent cells were counted. The concentration of NO was measured with method of nitrate reductase.Result The numbers of CFU and migration, adhesion activity of circulating EPCs in COPD[ (21.9±3. 9)CFU-EPC] and PAH group[ (14. 2 ±3. 5)CFU-EPC] were significantly lower than that in non-COPD group and COPD non-PAH group [ ( 24.9 ±4.1) CFU-EPC ]. It was also observed that a strong negative correlation between the levels of PAH and the numbers of CFU and adhesion, migration activity of circulating EPCs. The NO level in the PAH group [ (43. 6 ±4. 8)ng/ml] was significantly lower than that in control group [ ( 67. 17±4.9 ) ng/ml ] ( P < 0.01). The NO level was positively correlated with number and migration ability of EPCs( r =0. 77,0.71, P <0.01) , but not correlated with adhesion ability.Conclusion The number of CFU and migratory, adhesive activity of EPC in patients withPAH secondary to COPD was significantly decreased. These changes may be associated with low level of plasma NO.

Objective To evaluate the normalized correction effect of the ROX reference fluorescence on the real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessment for the Nrf2 mRNA.Methods The Taq-man probe was utilized in the real-time quantitative RT-PCR method to assess the Nrf2 mRNA; The reaction specificity of the Nrf2 PCR products obtained from the rat cDNA was assessed using gel electrophoresis and sequencing identification.The PCR calibrators with different concentrations varied at 10 gradients(from 2.0 × 109 to 2.0 × 100) were prepared for real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessment,and then the influence of the ROX reference fluorescence correction on the linear range of the PCR standard curve was investigated experimentally.The recombinant plasmids with different concentration levels(e.g,high,medium or low concentration) were assessed by the real-time RT-PCR and 20 replicate measurements were performed for all the samples in both intra- and inter-assays.The repeatability differences of both the inter- and intra-assays were analyzed systemically with/without the ROX reference fluorescence correction.Results The primers and probes required for Nrf2 mRNA real-time quantitative RT-PCR assessments were constructed,and the reaction system and conditions were also established.The length of the amplified fragment agreed well with the expected length(122 bp),and the sequencing analysis showed the amplified fragment was verified by the sequencing identification.After applying the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the linear range ofthe PCR standard curve was measured as 2.0 × 109 -2.0 × 100 copies/μl(R2 > 0.99),which was 100times wider than that measured without ROX reference fluorescence correction(2.0 × 109 - 2.0 × 102copies/μl,R2 > 0.99).Without the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the intra-assay CVs of the Ct value were measured as 4.1%,2.7% and 2.1% for the recombinant plasmids with high-,medium-,and low-level concentration,respectively.The inter-assay CVs of the Ct value were 4.3% 、3.0% 、2.4%.By contrast,with the ROX reference fluorescence correction,the intra-assay CVs of the Ct value became 0.7%,0.5%,0.4% and the inter-assay CVs of the Ct value turned to 1.0%,0.8% and 0.7%.The discrete degree of the Ct value with the correction was lower than that without the correction.The intra- and interassay Ct values of the high- and medium-level samples exhibited statistic significance for the measurements with/without the correction.In the high-level group,the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 4.843 and 2.566,with P<0.05.In the medium-level group,the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 4.293 and 4.423,with P<0.05.However,no statistic significance was observed the low-level group(the t values of the intra- and inter-assays were 0.753 and 1.279,with P >.0.05).Conclusions The utilization of the ROX reference fluorescence in the real-time quantitative PCR assessment for Nrf2 mRNA could widen the linear range of the standard PCR calibration curve and improve the repeatability of the assessment,which should be quite helpful for accurately assessing the expression level of the Nrf2 mRNA.
