Extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma and there are no standard treatment options for ENKTL. For localized patients, radiotherapy alone or radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy could be took into consideration. Systemic combination chemotherapy remains the primary treatment for patients with advanced ENKTL. The efficacy of anthracycline based conventional chemotherapy in ENKTL is unfavorable. This paper reviews the treatment progress of ENKTL in recent years.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-angiotensin (1-7) [Ang (1-7)]-Mas constitutes the vasoprotective axis and is demon-strated to antagonize the vascular pathophysiological effects of the classical renin -angiotensin system .We hypothesize that upregulation of ACE2-Ang (1-7) signaling protects endothelial function through reducing oxidative stress , thus resulting in beneficial outcome in di-abetes.Ex vivo treatment with Ang (1-7) augmented endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) in renal arteries from diabetic patients . Both Ang (1-7) infusion via osmotic pump (500 ng? kg -1? min-1 ) for 2 weeks and exogenous ACE 2 overexpression mediated by ad-enoviral ACE2 via tail vein injection rescued the impaired EDR and flow-mediated dilatation ( FMD) in db/db mice.Diminazene acetu-rate treatment (15 mg? kg-1? d-1 ) activated ACE2, increased the circulating Ang (1-7) level, and augmented EDR and FMD in db/db mouse arteries.In addition, activation of the ACE2-Ang (1-7) axis reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction de-termined by dihydroethidium staining , CM-H2DCFDA fluorescence imaging , and chemiluminescence assay in db/db mouse aortas and also in high-glucose-treated endothelial cells .Pharmacological benefits of ACE 2-Ang ( 1-7 ) upregulation on endothelial function were confirmed in ACE2 knockout mice both ex vivo and in vitro.We elucidate that the ACE2-Ang (1-7)-Mas axis serves as an important signal pathway in endothelial cell protection in diabetic mice , especially in diabetic human arteries .In summary, endogenous ACE2-Ang (1-7) activation or ACE2 overexpression preserves endothelial function in diabetic mice through increasing nitric oxide bioavail -ability and inhibiting oxidative stress , suggesting the therapeutic potential of ACE 2-Ang(1-7) axis activation against diabetic vasculop-athy.

Relations between doctor and patient are basic and important human relation in medical practice.Because of some reasons,the relations appear tense status in our country,moreover the market economy flourishingly develops,as the result of medical organizations suffering more and more existent pressure.It is an important subject faced for people,especially for medical worker,to righly think the existed defects,and set up the mutual action between doctor and patient.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease and the etiology and pathogenesis are not fully clarified. Studies showed that immune factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD. Cytapheresis(CAP)is a new blood purification method which can selectively filter or adsorb the inflammatory cells and cytokines in systemic circulation. Many studies confirmed that CAP had some therapeutic effect on IBD. This article reviewed the advances in study on CAP in treatment of IBD.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only effective curative therapy for patients with certain hematological diseases. Haploidentical HSCT has been practiced worldwide for approximately twenty years. Significant improvements on this therapy were made in China within the past decade, with the novel non-in-vitro, T-cell-depleted haploidentical HSCT system. This review de-scribes the current situation and provides a prospective overview of these novel HSCT systems in China.

Aim To explore the effect of the morphine(MP) on the Kv channel in bronchial smooth muscle in guinea-pigs (GPBSM) and expressions of the Kv 1.5 mRNA and protein . Methods The effect of the MP on the Kv channel was studied by patch clamp recording in GPBSM and expressions of the Kv 1.5 mRNA and protein were measured by Western-blot and RT-PCR techniques. Results Morphine remarkably restrained the Kv channel current and the expression of the Kv 1.5 mRNA and protein in cultured GPBSM (n=6, each group, P

Objective To explore the effect of emodin on the apoptisis and intracellular Ca2+ concentration of Hepatic Stellate Cell-T6.Methods The immortalized rat hepatic stellate cell line HSC-T6 was commonly allocated into normal control group and treated groups with different concentrations emodin(the extreme concentration are 10?mol/ml, 20?mol/ml, 40?mol/ml respectively). The cell apoptosis rate were analyzed by flow cytometry, and intracellular Ca2+ concentration of HSC-T6 were detected by Furo-3/Am fluorescence assay and confocal laser microscopy.Results After intervention of different concentration emodin,the apoptosis rate of HSC-T6 is 4.0?0.5%, 4.3?0.6%, 6.9?1.1% respectively,and there are statistical significance compared with the control group(P

NMDA(N-Methyl-D-Aspartate)receptor is a kind of ionotropic receptors, which have been widely localized in peripheral somatic tissues and visceral pain pathways. The activation or expression changes of peripheral NMDA receptor may play an important role in pain occurrence. Peripheral administration of NMDA receptor antagonist can alleviate or prevent pain and enhance the analgesic effect of opiate. This method of administration can reduce the side effect of central action induced by the drug. It will be an important research direction of pain management.
