Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is a glycosylated polypeptide chain cell growth factor that can promote proliferation and differentiation of myeloid progenitors and induce maturation of these cells toward terminally differentiated neutrophils.Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor which functions and effects depend on the combination with specific receptor on the surface of effector cells.With the development of gene cloning technology,ganulocyte colony-stimulating factor recombinant products have been widely used in clinic to provide effective means for the treatment of leucopenia,In recent years,we find the therapy of chemotherapeutics combining with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is effective in refractory/relapsed/elderly cases of acute leukaemia.Currently,granulocyte colony-stimulating factor is one of important and successful hematopoietic cytokines in clinic.

Post-resuscitation multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(PR-MODS) is a major cause of low survival rate in patients with cardiac arrest.To fully understand the concept of PR-MODS is beneficial for estimating the state of illness,adjusting the therapy and eventually increasing the survival rate.This article reviews the development of PR-MODS concept and compares it with MODS of other causes,including their pathogeny,pathology,mechanism,diagnosis and therapy.

Objective To investigate the significance of three electrocardiographic indexes in predicting the myocardial infarct related artery (IRA) in inferior wall of acute myocardial infarction (IAMI) Methods One hundred and twenty patients with IAMI were studied Results (1) IRA was related to right coronary artery (RCA) in 98 (81 7%) case, left circumflex branch (LCX) in 22 (18 3%) cases (2) ST segment depression in lead Ⅰ identified RCA occlusion with a sensitivity of 77 6%, specificity of 90 9% in patient with IAMI, but isoelectric or elevated ST segment in lead Ⅰ identified LCX occlusion with a sensitivity of 90 9%, specificity of 77 6% (3) About QRS wave of lead aVL, S/R≥1/3 identified RCA occlusion with a higher sensitivity of 93 9% and a lower specificity of 63 6% (4) When IRA was RCA, ST segment elevated amplitude Ⅲ≥Ⅱ identified as a diagnostic index no matter the location of occlusion Conclusion Three electrocardiographic indexes have significant value in predicting the infarct related artery in inferior wall acute myocardial infarction

Objectives To analyze a rare autosomal recessive disease, aggrecan type spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD), which was caused by ACAN gene mutations. Methods A 7 years old girl was diagnosed with short stature after excluding growth hormone deficiency, idiopathic short stature, and hypothyroidism. Combining family history and clinical features, SEMD were suspected and genetic tests were performed. Results The patient was found with homozygous mutations of c.512C > T inACAN gene, and was diagnosed with aggrecan type SEMD. Her parents were found to be heterozygous mutation carrier. Conclusions In patients with high suspection of a special type of short stature, early genetic tests should be carried out for a clear diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate clinical significance of the CEA, CA19-9, CA242, AFP, CA724,SCC, TPA, TPS combined detection for the clinical diagnosis of gastrointestial cancer. Methods 373 cases of upper digestive tract malignant tumor patient and 50 cases of healthy serum sample were detected for eight markers, evaluating the relationship between the level of markers and illness. Results 8 marker diagnostic positive rates were: CEA 26.80 %, CA19-9 27.34 %, CA242 34.14 %, AFP 2.84 %, SCC 19.72 %, CA724 12.13 %, TPA 34.15 %, TPS 30.89 %. The total positive rate of joint detection of 8 markers was 89.05 %.Preoperative CEA, CA242, SCC-positive patients had a shorter survival time. CA242 and CA19-9 levels with upper gastrointestinal malignancies were positively correlated. Conclusion The combined detection of a number of markers in different pathological type and clinical staging is statistically significant, and the positive rate is much higher than any single marker test results. CA19-9 and CA242 may be the best combination of monitoring the disease. CA724, CA242 and SCC can be as adverse prognostic indicators for cardia, stomach,esophageal malignant tumors, respectively.

Aim To determine the effects of Qiliqian-gxin injected into lateral ventricle on Cardiac function, angiotensin Ⅱ( Ang Ⅱ) , angiotensin converting en-zyme(ACE), angiotensin type 1 receptor(AT1R) and the sympathetic nervous system in the hypothalamic pa-raventricular nucleus of rats with chronic heart failure. Methods Rat model of heart failure was prepared by acute myocardial infarction that was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Four weeks after heart failure, Qiliqiangxin and Losartan were continuously administered via a syringe pump in-jector connected to lateral ventricle. After four weeks, echocardiogram was used to evaluate the cardiac func-tion and HE was used to observe myocardial tissue morphology, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure plasma norepinephrine( NE) , ser-um NT-proBNP and Ang Ⅱ in the paraventricular nu-cleus. The expression of ACE and AT1 R at mRNA and protein levels in the paraventricular nucleus was deter-mined by Real-time PCR and Western blot, and the RSNA was measured by PowerLab in anesthetized rats. Results Compared with the sham control, the cardiac function was significantly lower while the AngII, ACE, AT1 R expression in the paraventricular nucleus and RSNA were significantly increased in rats with heart failure. Compared with heart failure control, Qiliqian-gxin and Losartan decreased the RSNA and the AngII, ACE, AT1 R expression in the paraventricular nucleus. Conclusion Giving traditional Chinese medicine to the lateral ventricles can decrease the activation of the RAS system, reduce the renal sympathetic nerve activi-ty and improve cardiac function.

Objective To assess the role of Th 17/Treg cell imbalance in the pathogenesis of HenochSch(o)nlein purpura (HSP). Methods Peripheral blood was obtained from 59 children with HSP and 38 ageand sex-matched healthy subjects. Flow cytometric analysis (FCM) was performed to detect the percentage of CD4+IL17+ T (Th17) cells and CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+ T (Treg) cells, real-time RT-PCR to measure the mRNA expressions of RORγt and Foxp3, which are specific transcription factors of Th17 and Treg cells, respectively.Results Patients with HSP showed a significant increase in the percentage of Th17 cells and mRNA level of RORγt (1.87% ± 0.56% vs 0.39% ± 0.15%, 7.71 ± 1.95 vs 1.49 ± 0.57, both P＜ 0.01) and a statistical decrease in the percentage of Treg cells and mRNA level of Foxp3 ( 1.63% ± 0.44% vs 5.04% ± 1.44%, 0.34 ±0.11 vs 1.71 ± 0.69, both P ＜ 0.01 ) compared with the normal controls. No significant difference was observed in the percentage of Th17 or Treg cells or the mRNA levels of RORγt or Foxp3 among patients with different types of HSP. Conclusion In patients with HSP, there is a change in the pecentage of Th17/Treg cells and expression of their transcription factors, which may lead to immune imbalance and contribute to the development of HSP.

Objective To investigate the effect of polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1) promotor region gene,plasma tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA)and PAI-1 on patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism(APTE).Method Fifty-two patients with APTE were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of traditional enviromnent risk facters,and there were26 patients in each gnup,and auother 57 healthy indiriduals as controls were analyzed.The genotypos of subjects were determined for the 4G/5G polymorphism of PAI-1 gene using polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis.Plasma PAI-1 and tPA were measured by ELISA.Results(1)The ratio of 4G/4G genotype in group without traditional environment risk factors was much higher than that of the other two groups.(2)Plasma t-PA decreased and plasma PAI-1 elevated significantly in group without traditional environment risk factors compared with that of the other two groups.(3)Except the 5G homozygous,plasma PAI-1 level in group without traditional environgment risk factors was significantly higher than the other two groups.There existed correlation between 4G allele and plasma PAI-1.Conclusions 4G/5G polymorphism of PAI-1 gene is associated with AFFE.4G/4G genotype increases the risk of APTE for individuals without traditional risk factors.There are hypercoagulation and hypofibrinolysis in APTE patients without traditional risk factors.

Objective To explore the expression, as well as the proportion of subsets of the natural killer (NK) T cells in peripheral blood of patients with esophageal carcinoma before and after surgery, and provide ideas and experimental basis for immune treatment through tests. Methods Using CD3, CD56, CD4 and CD8 antibody to study the NKT cells and its subsets. Peripheral NKT cell subsets in 59 patients with esophageal carcinoma were analysed by flow cytometer. Results With the ratio of CD+3 CD+56 CD+8/CD+3 CD+56 CD+4 gradually increased, the proportion of phase Ⅲ- Ⅳ patients with esophageal carcinoma is gradually decreased between the groups. One-way ANOVA analysis showed that there were differences between the groups (P ＜0.05). The ratio of CD+3 CD+56 CD+8/CD+3 CD+56 CD+4 was in Non-linear related to CD+3 CD+56 CD+4NKT cells; CD+3 CD+56 CD+8; NKT cells were positively correlated with CD-3 CD+56 NK cells and negatively correlated with CD+3 T cells.Conclusion The ratio of CD+3 CD+56 CD+8/CD+3 CD+56 CD+4 may relate to tumor burden, and is helpful to determine the extent of disease in patients with esophageal carcinoma and prognosis.
