Objevtive:This study was aimed to investigate the effect of 5-aza-cytidine on the proliferation,cell cycles distribution profile and apoptosis of human promyelocytic cell line HL60.Methods: The human promyelocytic cell line HL-60 was cultured in RPMI 1640 medium.3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-y)l-2,5-diphenylte trazolium(MTT)reduction by cells was used to assess drug-induced cell growth inhibition.Cells were treated with 0.25,0.5,1,2.5?mol/L of freshly prepared 5-aza-cytidine for 48 hours before they were harvested for analyzing distribution of cell cycle phases and apoptosis by flow cytometer.Results:5-aza-cytidine inhibited HL60 cell proliferation in a time-and concentration-dependent manner.Apoptosis was induced as detected by flow cytometry.Determination of the cell cycle distribution by flow cytometry revealed an accumulation of cells in G1 phase.Conclusion:DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-cytidine has effects on proliferation of human promyelocytic cell line HL60.Possible mechanism of this inhibition is induction of apoptosis.

Objective:To probe the expression of P21 WAF1 and P27 KIP1 in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its clinical significance.Methods:The method of immunocytochemistry is used to estimate the expression of P21 WAF1 and P27 KIP1 .Both percentage and intensity of positive cells were counted.Results:The results showed that the positive ratio of P21 WAF1 in ALL samples was 9.1% (2/22) and P27 KIP1 was 50%(11/22).The trends of higher expression of P21 WAF1 and P27 KIP1 were noted in follow-up study on eight patients with ALL.Most of the P27 KIP1 positive cells were pigmented in nucleus in the control group while pigmented in both nucleus and plasma in the studied patients.Conclusion:P21 WAF1 ,P27 KIP1 may be a marker for evaluation of therapeutic effects.

Ultrasonic sensors are optimal to the guidance system for the blind.The previous ultrasonic guidance systems acquire the position information of obstacles,and transform it into audio signal or tactile vibration.The system developed in this paper,utilizing programmable gain technique and digital potentiometer,acquires the power of reflected ultrasonic as additional information,and informs the blind with modulated audio signal.In this paper,the studies on programmable gain is described detailed including the hardware structure,the software design and information post processing.

Lives are maintained by enough oxygen.Blood oxygen saturation is one of the important parameters which reflects oxygen concentration in blood.The accurate monitoring of blood oxygen saturation is very important to both physiological research and medical application.At present,dual-wavelength method is widely adopted in noninvasive detection of blood oxygen saturation.Therefore,accurate recognition of peak-to-peak value of pulse waveform is a key process in monitoring blood oxygen saturation.In the paper,LMS self-adaptive arithmetic is applied to processing pulse waveform signal.The ratio of corrective detection is improved by the method.

In allusion to the defects of traditional electronic sphygmomanometer in deflation process,this paper puts forward an innovative way which accomplishes the measure of blood pressure during charge process based on oscillometric method.It is proved to be more energy-saving,more subminiature,less measuring time and more stable for individual.

To investigate dynamic characteristics of the hydrolization lipid phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate(PIP 2 )with the stimulation of epidermal growth factor(EGF),the mathematical model to simulate the metabolizability of PIP 2 is established based on Law of Mass Action and Law of the Quasi-steady-State Approximation.Differential equations of concentration relations between PIP 2 and EGF receptor are formulated,and the effect of the parameters on the changing trend of PIP 2 is analyzed.This mathematical model describes biology characteristics of metabolized PIP 2 and dependency relationships of concentration between key signal producuts.

Objective To establish a method for detection of serum urocanic acid (UCA) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC),and explore the clinical significance of serum UCA concentration for children acute leukemia.Methods The chromatographic conditions of HPLC were set up and optimized,and the linearity of standard curve,precision,accuracy and stability were validated.Then the serum from ninety acute leukemia children and ninety non-tumor blood disease children was collected,the concentration of serum UCA was detected with HPLC,and the differences of two groups were compared to study the clinical significance of UCA in children acute leukemia.Results The HPLC method for detecting serum UCA was successfully established and optimized.The standard curves of trans-UCA and cis-UCA both showed good linearities(R2=0.999 6 and 0.999 9) at the condition of the mobile phase of acetonitrile-20 mmol/L KH2PO4,pH 3.7(5:95,V/V),flow rate of 1.2 mL/min,detection wavelength of 264 nm in HPLC.The relative standard deviation RSD％ of intra-assay and inter-assay were lower than 5％.Compared with non-tumor blood disease,the serum concentration of cis urocanic acid (cis-UCA) and trans urocanic acid (trans-UCA) of children with acute leukemia were significantly increased (P＜0.001).Compared with cis-UCA,trans-UCA was more valuable for risk classification of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).Conclusions HPLC is a good technology to titrate of UCA in serum.The concentration of serum UCA in children with acute leukemia may provide the clues for diagnosis and prognosis,with important clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of high-frequency electric snare for the treatment of main airway neoplasm through bronchoscopy. Methods The clinical datas of 18 patients from July 2013 to April 2016, who had main airway neoplasm and were treated with high-frequency electric snare through bronchoscopy, were retrospectively analyzed. Meanwhile, the interventional bronchoscopic techniques partly included argon plasma coagulation and cryoablation. After operarion, the relief of symptoms and complications were observed. Results After operarion, the clinical symptoms, shortness of breath, dyspnea index score and the degree of airway stenosis were improved significantly. No serious complications such as massive hemoptysis occurred in all patients. Conclusion High-frequency electric snare is an effective and safe approach for the treatment of main airway neoplasm.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect and mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) for Z syndrome without organic lesion (metabolic syndrome combined with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome).

METHODSFifty-eight patients with Z syndrome were divided into three groups according to mild,moderate and severe degree. Acupuncture and EA were used at Daimai (GB 26), Zhongwan (CV 12), Xiawan (CV 10), Zusanli ST 36), Qihai (CV 6) and Huaroumen (ST 24), etc., once a day and five times a week. The treatment of ten times was a course, and two courses were acquired continuously. Sleep respiration monitoring (PSG) was done before EA and in one week after treatment respectively. Triacylglycerol (TG) fasting blood glucose (FBG) fasting insulin (INS) and serum leptin (Lep) were tested before and after treatment in the three groups.

RESULTSAfter treatment apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and the percentage of the time of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO₂) less than 90% taken in the total sleep time (SLT 90%) were improved apparently than those before treatment in the three groups (all P < 0.05). The levels of TG, FPG, INS and Lep were decreased after treatment in all groups (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONEA can improve AHI and nocturnal hypoxia of Z syndrome, and the mechanism may be related to decreasing the indices of metabolism syndrome and leptin.

The clinical thoughts of interns have some features such as insufficiency of initiative and enthusiasm and the absence of systemic. It is necessary to develop their good habits of active and diligent thinking as well as comprehensive thinking ability. Clinical teaching rounds, small lectures,discussion of complicated cases and interactive teaching are the specific measures for our medical interns to improve their ability of clinical thoughts effectifally.
