Objective To detect the levels of serum procollagen type Ⅲ (PCⅢ), Ⅳ collagen(Ⅳ-C) ,laminin ( LN ) , erythropoietin ( EPO ) and thrombopoietin ( TPO) in patients with acute and chronic leukemia. Methods PCⅢ , Ⅳ-Cand LN levels were determined by radioimmunoassay and TPO,EPO levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,for 26 acute leukemia patients,16 chronic leukemia patients,and 16 normal controls. Results PC Ⅲ[(164.02 ± 118.53) μg/L], Ⅳ-C[(66.54 ± 19.48) μg/L] ,LN[(122.85 ±25.10)μg/L], EPO[(52.90±34.87)mU/ml]and TPO[(642.54±318.49)ng/L]levels of patients with acute and chronic leukemia were higher than that of the healthy control group before chemotherapy (P ＜ 0. 05). EPO [( 72. 21 ± 52. 15 )mU/ml]and TPO[(642.54 ±318.49)ng/L]levels of acute leukemia patients after treatment were significantly lower than before treatment(P＜0.05),while PC Ⅲ ,Ⅳ-C,LN levels had no significant difference(P ＞0.05). There was no significant difference before and after chemotherapy for PC Ⅲ, Ⅳ-C,LN,TPO and EPO levels of chronic leukemia patients (P＞ 0.05). Conclusion PC Ⅲ,Ⅳ-C,LN,TPO and EPO of patients with acute and chronic leukemia were abnormal, and dynamic monitoring of EPO and TPO levels could reflect the effect of AL chemotherapy, but conld not contribute to the prediction of CML blast crisis.

Hie resultant vector was checked by expression of phage antibody, ELBA and in vivo recombination. Results: Vector pAL was obtained by following modifications of p3MH: insertion of Ioxp511 and loxp sequences, substitution of Lac promoter by Ara promoter, and modification of the cloning site for antibody genes. pAL was proved capable of expressing functional Fab phage antibodies under tighter control. In ere+ bacteria, pAL exhibited loxp-cre mediated recombination. Conclusion: pAL is useful for construction of large phage antibody libraries.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, and clinical efficacy of combined interventional procedure (CIP) in composite cardiovascular diseases (CCD). Methods Twenty one consecutive patients were diagnosed as CCD before the procedures. The algorithm of CIP were individualized by the operators and physicians. The criteria for a successful procedure were defined before the operation. The counterplan for predictable complications was also established beforehand. The successful rate, short and long term efficacy, the incidence of complications and adverse reaction associated with contrast medium and X-ray were observed. All the patients were followed up through special out-patient clinic, telephone, or letters. Results Seven cases accepted electrophysiological testing(EPT) + radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA)+coronary angiogram (CAG)+percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)+stent implantation (SI). Four cases accepted CAG+PTCA+SI+EPT. Three cases accepted EPT+RFCA+CAG. Six cases accepted CAG+PTCA+SI+peripheral artery angiogram (PAG). One cases accepted pacemaker implantation (PI)+CAG+PTCA+SI+percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA). The symptoms of arrhythmia disappeared or alleviater in 19 cases during hospiatalization. Arrhythmia recurred in 2 cases 12 hours after the procedure and accepted RFCA again. No severe complications and adverse reaction occured. The successful rate was 90.5 percent. Two cases suffered from recurrent angina during the follow-up period and one of them had in-stent restenosis proved by CAG and accepted PTCA+SI again. The other patient received medicine therapy. Conclusion Combined interventional procedure operated by experienced interventional cardiologist in a conditioned catheterization laboratory is safe and feasible. The short-term outcomes are satisfied. The long-term outcomes will be proved by accumulating more cases' data. Individualized approaches, counterplans for complications and cautious operation are important to a successful procedure.

Objective To compare the differences of the electrophysiological and morphological properties of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in Long Evans and Wistar rats. Methods Whole cell patch clamp recordings were made from RGCs in the acute retinal slices of Long Evans and Wistar rats aged postnatal 0-31 d. RGCs were stained with Lucifer Yellow diffused into cells during whole-cell recordings for the purpose of morphological study. The sections of rat retinas by HE staining were examined by light microscopy. Results The differences of electrophysiological properties in Long Evans and Wistar rats were not significant. There were pigment granules in retinal pigment epithelial cells of Long Evans but not in those of Wistar rats. Conclusion Long Evans rats can be the good animal model for visual and neural science research in place of Wistar rats.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the incidence and risk factors for hypertension among taxi drivers working different shifts.

METHODSUsing the cluster sampling method, 415 day-shift and 304 night-shift taxi drivers in Jinan, China were selected and investigated. The influencing factors for hypertension were analyzed.

RESULTSThe incidence of hypertension in all taxi drivers was 33.2%. The incidence of hypertension in night-shift drivers was significantly higher than that in day-shift drivers (37.8% vs 29.9%, P<0.05). According to multivariate analysis, the incidence of hypertension in day-shift drivers was closely related to body mass index (BMI), working years, working hours, sleep duration, rest days, diet quality, water intake, and smoking, while the incidence of hypertension in night-shift drivers was closely related to BMI, working years, working hours, part-time job, sleep duration, rest days, and drinking.

CONCLUSIONBMI, working years, and working hours are the common risk factors for hypertension in day-shift and night-shift drivers. Sleep duration and rest days are the common protective factors. The risk factors for hypertension in taxi drivers vary with different shifts.
