Based on ancient literature of acupuncture in Canon of Chinese Medicine (4th edition), the articles regarding acupuncture for urinary incontinence were retrieved and collected to establish a database. By Weka data mining software, the multi-level association rules analysis method was applied to analyze the acupoints selection characteristics and rules of ancient acupuncture for treatment of urinary incontinence. Totally 356 articles of acupuncture for urinary incontinence were collected, involving 41 acupoints with a total frequency of 364. As a result, (1) the acupoints in the yin-meridian of hand and foot were highly valued, as the frequency of acupoints in yin-meridians was 2.6 times than that in yang-meridians, and the frequency of acupoints selected was the most in the liver meridian of foot-jueyin; (2) the acupoints in bladder meridian of foot-taiyang were also highly valued, and among three yang-meridians of foot, the frequency of acupoints in the bladder meridian of foot-taiyang was 54, accounting for 65.85% (54/82); (3) more acupoints selected were located in the lower limbs and abdomen; (4) specific acupoints in above meridians were mostly selected, presenting 73.2% (30/41) to the ratio of number and 79.4% (289/364) to the frequency, respectively; (5) Zhongji (CV 3), the front-mu point of bladder meridian, was seldom selected in the ancient acupuncture literature, which was different from modern literature reports. The results show that urinary incontinence belongs to external genitalia diseases, which should be treated from yin, indicating more yin-meridians be used and special acupoints be focused on. It is essential to focus inheritance and innovation in TCM clinical treatment, and applying data mining technology to ancient literature of acupuncture could provide classic theory basis for TCM clinical treatment.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the prognostic factors for locoregionally recurrent early?stage extranodal nasal?type natural killer/T?cell lymphoma ( NKTCL) . Methods A total of 56 patients with early?stage extranodal nasal?type NKTCL, who had locoregional recurrence after initial treatment and then received salvage treatment from 1995 to 2014, were enrolled as subjects. The effects of salvage treatment on the overall survival ( OS) rate were analyzed after initial treatment and recurrence. Univariate and multivariate prognostic analyses were performed on the OS rate after recurrence. Results The median follow?up time was 35. 9 months after initial treatment and 14. 8 months after recurrence. The 3?year OS rate was 73% after initial treatment and 58% after recurrence. Compared with chemotherapy alone, radiotherapy?containing salvage treatment significantly improved the OS rates after initial treatment and recurrence ( P=0. 040, 0. 009 ) , and re?irradiation also significantly improved the OS rates after initial treatment and recurrence (P=0. 018, 0. 019). Most (84%) of the acute and late adverse reactions after re?irradiation were grade 1?2 ones. The univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the Karnofsky Performance Status score, radiotherapy in initial treatment, and radiotherapy in salvage treatment were influencing factors for the OS rate after recurrence. Conclusions Radiotherapy achieves improved survival and tolerable toxicities, making it indispensable in the treatment of locoregionally recurrent extranodal nasal?type NKTCL.

A new microfluidic system with four different microchambers (a circle and three equilateral concave polygons) was designed and fabricated using poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and the soft lithography method.Using this microfluidic device at six flow rates (5,10,20,30,40,and 50 μL/h),the effects of microenvironmental geometry and aqueous flow on bacterial adhesion behaviors were investigated.Escherichia coli HB101 pGLO,which could produce a green fluorescent protein induced by L-arabinose,was utilized as the model bacteria.The results demonstrated that bacterial adhesion was significantly related to culture time,microenvironment geometry,and aqueous flow rates.Adhered bacterial density increased with the culture time.Initially,the adhesion occurred at the microchamber sides,and then the entire chamber was gradually covered with increased culture time.Adhesion densities in the side zones were larger than those in the center zones because of the lower shearing force in the side zone.Also,the adhesion densities in the complex chambers were larger than those in the simple chambers.At low flow rates,the orientation of adhered bacteria was random and disorderly.At high flow rates,bacterial orientation became close to the streamline and oriented toward the flow direction.All these results implied that bacterial adhesion tended to occur in complicated aqueous flow areas.The present study provided an on-chip flow system for physiological behavior of biological cells,as well as provided a strategic cue for the prevention of bacterial infection and biofilm formation.

Objective To evaluate preliminarily the significance of dynamic detection of Wilms'tumor gene(WT1)expression level on monitoring minimal residual disease(MRD)and predicting clinical relapse in patients of malignancy following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods WT1 expression level WaS measured with real.time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RQ-RT-PCR)method on 102 bone marrow specimens from 31 patients following allo.HSCT.WT1 expression level was determined as the ratio of WT1 mRNA to ABL mRNA times 100%.Resuits The levels of WT1 expression showed significant difference between the relapsed group and the non-relapsed group(P＜0.01),with 0.80%and 0.17%as their median expression level respectively.After dynamic measuring WT1 expression level on patients in the relapsed group.the level was found to increase significantly as compared with those during or before the clinical hematological relapse.both being＞1.0%.The level at the time of relapse Was significantly higher than the latest previous one(P＜0.05).Conclusion Dynamic detection of WT1 expression level with RQ-RT-PCR may be of help in monitoring MRD and warning clinical relapse Oil the patients following allo-HSCT.

Abstract A new microfluidic system with four different microchambers （a circle and three equilateral concave polygons） was designed and fabricated using poly（dimethylsiloxane） （PDMS） and the soft lithography method. Using this microfluidic device at six flow rates （5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 μL/h）, the effects of microenvironmental geometry and aqueous flow on bacterial adhesion behaviors were investigated. Escherichia coli HB101 pGLO, which could produce a green fluorescent protein induced by L-arabinose, was utilized as the model bacteria. The results demonstrated that bacterial adhesion was significantly related to culture time, microenvironment geometry, and aqueous flow rates. Adhered bacterial density increased with the culture time. Initially, the adhesion occurred at the microchamber sides, and then the entire chamber was gradually covered with increased culture time. Adhesion densities in the side zones were larger than those in the center zones because of the lower shearing force in the side zone. Also, the adhesion densities in the complex chambers were larger than those in the simple chambers. At low flow rates, the orientation of adhered bacteria was random and disorderly. At high flow rates, bacterial orientation became close to the streamline and oriented toward the flow direction; All these results implied that bacterial adhesion tended to occur in complicated aqueous flow areas.The present study provided an on-chip flow system for physiological behavior of biological cells, as well as provided a strategic cue for the prevention of bacterial infection and biofilm formation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of antisense vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)(121) cDNA transfection on the growth of K562 cells in nude mice.

METHODSK562 cells transfected with the antisense (AS) or sense (S) VEGF(121) cDNA, and the vector (V, pcDNA3) alone were transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice and the growth of the transfected cells in vivo was investigated. The effects of transfected K562 cells on human bone marrow endothelial cells (BMEC) were analyzed by MTT assay, the microvessel density (MVD) in tumor mass by vWF immunohistochemistry stain.

RESULTSK562/V tumor grew more slowly [(207.5 +/- 192.9) mm(3) vs (445.0 +/- 150.9) mm(3), P < 0.05] and K562/S tumor more rapidly than K562/V tumor did [(1 174.6 +/- 508.7)/mm(3) vs (445.0 +/- 150.9) mm(3), P < 0.01]. K562/S cell culture supernatant was more strongly in promoting the proliferation of BMEC than K562/V supernatant did, but K562/AS supernatant resulted in a marked decrease of the promoting effect as compared with K562/V's. The MVDs in K562/AS, K562/S, and K562/V tumors were [(11.0 +/- 7.6)/0.72 mm(2) vs (50.8 +/- 11.7)/0.72 mm(2) vs (18.9 +/- 7.0)/0.72 mm(2)], respectively.

CONCLUSIONSAntisense VEGF(121) cDNA transfected K562 cells show growth retardation in transplanted nude mice, decrease of tumor MVD, and decrease of promoting BMEC proliferation capacity.

The specific anti-tumor immune response induced by mouse bone marrow dendritic cells (DCs) transfected with recombinant adenovirus carrying mutant k-ras genes was investigated. DCs were generated from mouse bone marrow in the presence of rmGM-CSF (3.3 ng/mL) and rmIL-4 (1.3 ng/mL) and detected by FACS, and then transfected with the recombinant adenovirus encoding mutant k-ras gene. The efficacy of transfection and T cell stimulating activity of DCs were detected. CTL activity of the mice vaccinated with DCs was observed. The results showed that DCs had dendritic veiled morphology. BmDCs highly expressed B7-1 (80 %), B7-2 (77 %), MHC Ⅱ (70 %), CD11c (65 %), CD40 (70 %) and CD54 (96 %) with FACS, and no significant difference in the expression was observed before and after the transfection (P>0.05). The DCs transfected by mutant k-ras gene could significantly stimulate lymphocytes proliferation as compared with those transfected by Ad-c or non-modified DCs (P<0.05). DC vaccine transfected by mutant k-ras gene could induce CTL activity against Lewis lung cancer, but not against B16. The specific cytotoxicity against Lewis lung cancer in Ad-k-ras/12-transduced DC group was significantly higher than those in the control, vector and non-transfected DCs groups (P<0.05). It was concluded that special antitumor response could be induced by DCs transfected with recombinant adenovirus carrying mutant k-ras genes.
