To explore the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in multiple myeloma (MM) patients, as well as to compare the clinical characteristics and outcome between HBV infected and non-HBV infected patients. Methods:The serology markers of HBV were detected in 363 MM patients and 11227 cases of healthy controls through chemiluminescence. HBV-DNA was measured via real-time quantitative chain reaction. Results:Sixteen out of 363 MM patients (4.4%) were HBsAg-positive, showing significant difference with healthy controls (2.4%). No statistically significant differences were observed in terms of sex, age, type of monoclonal (M) protein, International Staging System (ISS) stage, stem cell transplantation, and risk stratification between HBsAg-positive and HBsAg-negative patients. No significant effect of HBV infection was found on the OS of MM patients. HBV reactivation was observed in two HBsAg-positive MM patients who were treated with combination chemotherapy, including bortezomib and dexamethasone. The replication of HBV could be inhibited by anti-HBV drugs. Conclusion:A higher prevalence of HBV infection was revealed in MM patients. Close monitoring of HBV replication should be conducted in MM patients with HBV infection before and during the courses of chemotherapy.

Objective To analyze clinical and radiological characteristics of intracranial hemorrhage in hematological diseases to improve the recognition of them. Methods Thirty-one clinical data of intracranial hemorrhage cases with hematological diseases were reviewed. The basic diseases, clinical and radiological manifestations, and risk factors of mortality were analyzed. Results Intracranial hemorrhage usually occurred in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP),and 13 and 6 cases, respectively, in this group. Most patients presented with headache, restlessness, nausea,vomiting, conscious disturbance and no localization sign by physical examination. CT or MRI images often revealed focus of errlysis. Compared with CT scan, a higher detection rate of ICH could be realized by MRI scan. The total mortality in this group of ICH patients was 71% (22/31). Fever, white blood cell >5×109/L,platelet <50×109/L, hyperimmunoglobulinemia and disturbance of blood coagulation were risk factors for ICH of this group of patients. The mortality was higher in patients with no less than 2 risk factors[86.4 % (19/22)vs 33.3 % (3/9)] (x2 = 8.718, P = 0.003). Conclusion ICH is a serious complication for hematological patients. MRI scan is good at improving the diagnosis of ICH. It is of high risk of death in patients with no less than 2 risk factors such as fever, white blood cell higher than 5×109/L, platelet less than 50×109/L,hyperimmunoglobulinemia and disturbance of blood coagulation.

[Objective] To observe the effect of cyclosporine A (CSA) on the activity and expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in renal tubular epithelial cells. [Methods] NRK52E cells were cultured until its reached confluent. Then NRK52E cells were exposed to different concentration of CSA (0, 0.42, 0.84, 4.2, and 8.4 μmoL/L) for 48 h or 72 h respectively. MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities were detected by gelatin zymography. The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. [Results] MMP-2 activity and mRNA levels were decreased in a dose dependent manner after exposed to different concentration of CSA for 48 h or 72 h in NRK52E cells. Compared with control (CSA 0 μmoL/L), CSA 0.42, 0.84, 4.2, 8.4 μmoL/L decreased the MMP-2 activities to 27%, 24%, 11%, and 9% respectively; The differences are significant, P<0.05. But the MMP-9 activity and mRNA levels were increased after exposed to CSA for 48 h or 72 h in NRK52E cells. Compared with control group, CSA 4.2 μmoL/L exposure increased MMP-9 activity to 438% in 48 h, and 237% in 72 h; the differences are significant as well, P<0.05. [Conclusion] A dose-dependent decrease in the expression and activity of MMP-2, and the up-regulation of the expression and activity of MMP-9 by CSA in renal epithelial cells may related to CSA associated tubulointerstitial damage.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of proliferation associated antigen Ki-67 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods A total of 45 AML patients (including 36 newly diagnosed AML patients and 9 recurrent AML patients) and 20 healthy volunteers (healthy group) were enrolled from October 2012 to January 2016 in Department of Hematology in Fuxing Hospital. The expression of Ki-67 in bone marrow blast cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The relation between Ki-67 level and clinical characteristics, and the prognostic significance of Ki-67 were studied. Results The positive rate of Ki-67 in newly diagnosed AML, recurrent AML patients and healthy controls were (10.38±8.41)%, (20.99± 11.49) % and (40.77±11.97) %, respectively. The positive rate of Ki-67 in newly diagnosed AML patients or recurrent AML patients were significantly lower than that in healthy controls (all P<0.05). The positive rate of Ki-67 in newly diagnosed AML patients was significantly lower than that in recurrent AML patients (P=0.006). The level of Ki-67 in newly diagnosed AML patients did not significantly correlated with age, FAB subtype, white blood cell count, a history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), proportion of blats cells, NPM1 gene mutation, FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) gene mutation, chromosome karyotype and response to induction therapy (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference of overall survival between high Ki-67 expression group and low Ki-67 expression group in newly diagnosed AML patients [(780±110) d vs. (788±118) d, P=0.927]. Conclusions The proliferation of blast cells in AML patients is lower than that in healthy controls. Detecting the level of Ki-67 may provide a reference for choosing the cell cycle specific chemotherapy drugs in clinical practice. Monitoring Ki-67 during AML process contributes to monitoring disease progression and predicting recurrence.
