Objective To investigate the regulatory effects and possible mechanisms of autophagy induction and bactericidal activity in muring bone marrow derived macrophages ( BMDMs) . Methods Murine BMDMs were isolated and cultured in vitro. Then standard strain of E. coli was used to infect BMDMs and cellular autophagy levels and AMPK activation were detected. We next modulated functions of AMPK by pretreating cells with the specific agonist or antagonist of AMPK. Then cellular AMPK activation, autophagy levels and bactericidal activity were observed after E. coli infection. Results In E. coli infected BMDMs,autophagy related molecules like LC3B and Beclin1 were upregu-lated,accompanied with elevated LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰratio. Phosphorylation of AMPK was also upregulated by E. coli treatment. Enhanced AMPK activi-ty by its agonist leads to increased cellular autophagy and bactericidal activity,whereas inhibition of AMPK by its suppressor downregulated autophagy and dampened bactericidal activity. Conclusion AMPK and its related signaling pathway is required for anti-bacterial response in macrophage,which is dependent on its function in upregulating autophagy related molecules and inducing autophagy.

Objective: To investigate the clinical treatment results of combined Tretinoin-chemotherapy protocol and kinetics of PML-RAR ? fusion gene in childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL). Methods: Ten children with APL were involved in this study. Induction therapy was Tretinoin alone(6 cases),Tretinoin plus chemotherapy(3 cases) and arsenic trixode(1 case). Postremission therapy consisted of three consolidation courses with DA,MA or HA and a monthly maintenance therapy over 4-5 years. Monitoring of minimal residual disease was performed regularly by RT-PCR assay for PML-RAR ? at differential clinical stages. Results: Clinical complete remission(CR) was obtained in 9 cases (90%).After a median follow-up of 42 months(14-156 months), the estimated 5-year event-free survival was (56? 16.5)%.Four cases relapsed at 14-42 months after achieving CR and 5 cases remained continuing CR. PML-RAR ? fusion gene was positive in all cases at CR and turned negative gradually during consolidation and maintenance treatment. The duration of conversion to RT-PCR negative status varied from 6 to 42 months.Four patients who were persistent positive(2 cases) or converted to positive(2 cases) for PML-RAR ? relapsed. Conclusion: Continuous negative RT-PCR results are associated with long-term disease-free survival and may be considered as potentially curative. RT-PCR assay for detection of PML-RAR ?should be performed regularly during post-remission period. The hematological relapse could potentially be averted through treatment modification according to molecular monitoring results of PML-RAR ?.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) in prostate cancer.Methodshe pathological samples of 37 cases of PCa were collected. The mean age of the patients was 73 (53 - 88 ) years, the preoperative t-PSA was 81.69 ( 3.13 - 2000 ) ng/ml, Gleason score: 13 cases were ≤7, 24 cases were >7. Twenty-seven cases of BPH were set as controls. The mean age of the BPH patients was 69 (52 - 84) years, the preoperative t-PSA was 10.93 ( 1.11 - 55.07 ) ng/ml.Western blotting and colorimetric Assay kits were used to determine the HDAC expression and activity. The difference of HDAC activity in benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer was statistically analyzed.The correlation of the HDAC expression level and values of PSA and Gleason score was also assessed.ResultsHDACs were over-expressed in most cases of prostate cancer, the expression rates were HDAC1 :57%, HDAC2: 68%, HDAC3: 84% and HDAC4: 73%, respectively. The HDAC activity (P <0.05)was significantly different between the prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia groups. The expression level of HDAC did not correlate with the values of PSA and Gleason score.ConclusionsHDAC was highly expressed and strongly active in prostate cancer. The results suggest that HDAC might be a potential target for the management of prostate cancer patients.

Objective: To investigate the effects of buccal acupuncture on analgesia, immune indicators, and expression levels of Survivin and Livin proteins in patients with advanced-stage primary liver cancer. Methods: Eighty patients with advanced-stage primary liver cancer were selected and divided into control and treatment groups according to the difference in treatment modalities, with 40 patients in each group. The control group received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and the treatment group received buccal acupuncture in addition to TACE. The recent efficacy, analgesic effect, liver function, serum tumor markers, Survivin and Livin protein expression levels in liver cancer tissue, and immune indexes were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of the treatment group were 37.5% and 77.5%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (22.5% and 52.5%), and the recent efficacy of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05). The onset of analgesia in the treatment group was significantly faster than that in the control group (P<0.05), the duration of analgesia was significantly longer than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the numeric rating scale (NRS) score of pain after treatment was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and albumin/globulin (A/G) were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the serum levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), alpha-L-fucosidase (AFU), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the expression levels of Survivin and Livin in liver cancer tissue were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and CD8+ was significantly lower than that in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion: Buccal acupuncture can reduce the degree of pain and liver function damage in patients with advanced- stage primary liver cancer and lower the serum tumor marker levels, and its mechanism of action may be related to the down-regulation of Survivin and Livin protein expression levels in the liver cancer tissue and the regulation of the immune function.
