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.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of urinary kallidinogenase for recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) intravenous thrombolytic treatment in patients with acute cerebral infartion MethodsA randomized control study was applied. All 44 patients with acute cerebral infartion were randomized 1:1 to the experimental group (22 cases) and the control group (22 cases). Patients were administrated rt-PA(0. 9 mg/kg)in control group, and patients were given urinary kallidinogenase by intravenous drip (0.15 PNAU/d, for 7 days) after rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic treatment (0.9 mg/kg)in experimental group. The main evaluation index was the incidence of symptomatic intraeerebral hemorrhage within 24 hours, and the secondary assessing items were NIHSS and BI. ResultsThere was 1 case (4.6%) with symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage in the experimental group and 2 (9.1%) in the control group (X2 =0.00, P= 1.000),and reinfarction rate showed a decreasing tendency in experimental group (18.2% vs. 31.8%, X2=1.091,P=0.296). Compared with the control group, the NIHSS scores were significantly lower 1,21,90 days after thrombolytic therapy (t=2.119, 2.913, 2.187);P=0.041, 0.0 06, 0.042),and the BI scores were obviously higher at 90 days after thrombolytic therapy in experimental group(t= 2.39,P= 0.012). ConclusionsWithout increasing the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage, urinary kallidinogenase may improve the curative effect for rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic treatment in patients with acute cerebral infartion

Objective To study the effect of trans-theoretical model of behavior on ambulation training in stroke hemiplegic patients. Methods Sixty hospitalized stroke hemiplegic patients from June to December 2013 were selected as control group. The control group was treated with routine nursing and ambulation training guidance. Sixty-two hospitalized stroke hemiplegia patients, from January 2014 to June 2014, were selected as intervention group. Patients in the intervention group received trans-theoretical model of behavior together with ambulation training guidance for 3 weeks and follow-up record for 6 months. Holden functional ambulation categories ( FAC ) and Bathel index were used to evaluate the effect of ambulation training . Result Trans-theoretical model of behavior training improved the walking function and activities of daily living in intervention group patients , compared with those of the control group. Conclusions Taking trans-theoretical model of behavior in walking training health education can improve the ambulation ability and ability of daily living of stroke hemiplegic patients. Therefore this theory can enhance the stroke hemiplegic patients′life quality.

Objective To investigate the effect of hypoxia micro?environment on anoikis in human high?metastatic cell line 95D of giant cell carci?noma of lung. Methods Suspension technology was used to culture 95D to establish the model of anoikis?resistant 95D cells. Hypoxic culture was conducted in the experimental group,and regular culture was conducted in the control group. The effect of hypoxia on proliferation of anoikis?resis?tant 95D was investigated by MTT and the apoptosis in the two groups were detected by flow cytometer. The invasive ability of the cells was assessed by Transwell test. The effect of hypoxia on the expression of HIF?1α,VEGF and MMP?2 in anoikis?resistant 95D was detected by Western blot. Re?sults The growth rate of the anoikis?resistant 95D cells treated with hypoxia was 52.9%,and the apoptosis rate of these cells was higher than that in the non?hypoxic group(40.4%vs 21.7%,P<0.05). The treatment of hypoxia down?regulated the invasive ability,the number of migration cells un?der hypoxia was higher than that in the control group,with statistical significance(40.1±6.7 vs 12.5±7.9,P<0.05). The up?regulation of HIF?1α, the down?regulation of VEGF and MMP?2 were observed in the group of hypoxia. Conclusion During anoikis of human high?metastatic lung can?cer cell line 95D,hypoxia inhibited the survival ability and the metastasis ability of anoikis?resistant cells,which,however,might be the early mani?festation of hypoxia.

A variety of extra-cellular signals could activate the target molecules and induce the associated biological effects depended on different signal pathways. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a conservation process essential for normal development and homeostasis of biologist. It's known that a number of factors and pathways can lead to apoptosis. Specific phosphorlipids and proteins of biomembrane could activate the signal cascades of apoptosis. The interaction of caspases, bcl-2 family and mitochondria play an essential role in regulation of apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the corneal flap thickness in laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) using Moria M2 microkeratome and to identify the related factors. Methods Sixty patients with LASIK were divided into two groups: M2 90 group,using the Moria M2 90 microkeratome,n=30;M2 110 group,using the Moria M2 110 microkeratome,n=30.All were performed on both eyes with the right one treated first.Subtraction pachymetry was used to measure corneal flap thickness which was analyzed statistically with the data including age,preoperative corneal diameter,curvature,corneal thickness and refraction.
