The prognosis for patients multiple myeloma(MM)has improved substantially over the past decade with the development of new,more effective chemotherapeutic agents and regimens that possess a high level of anti-tumor activity.In spite of this important progress,however,nearly all MM patients ultimately relapse,even those who experience a complete response to initial therapy.This summarize provided detailed recommendations on management of relapsed disease,with sections dedicated to diagnostic evaluation,determinants of therapy,and general approach to patients with specific disease characteristics.In addition,the article provided a summary of evidence from clinical trials that have significantly impacted the field,including those evaluating conventional therapies,as well as both autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation.Finally,perspective is provided regarding new agents and promising directions in management of relapsed MM.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy and toxic effects of irinotecan (CPT-11) combined with 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-Fu/LV) in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. METHODS: Among 31 cases of advanced colorectal cancer, 30 cases were evaluable. All patients received 2 weeks of therapy regimen: CPT-11 180 mg?m-2 i.v. gtt d1, LV 200 mg?m-2 i.v. gtt d1～2, 5-Fu 400 mg?m-2 i.v. and 5-Fu 600 mg?m-2 i.v. gtt for 22 h, d1～2. A treatment course last for 14 days. 6 weeks later, clinical efficacy was evaluated. RESULTS: Complete remission was observed in 1 case and partial remission 11 cases. The remission rate (RR) was 40%. Stable disease was reported in 14 cases and disease progression 4 cases. Medium time to progress (TTP) was 6.5 months and medium survival time(MST) was 13.9 months. Major toxic reactions were delayed diarrhea (Ⅲ/Ⅳ grade of 30%) and neutropenia (Ⅲ/Ⅳ grade of 26.6%). CONCLUSION: The regimens of CPT-11 combined with 5-Fu / LV have high response rate and tolerable toxicity in treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. It can be use as first or second line chemotherapy for advanced colorectal cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the cytotoxicity of propolis and calcium hydroxide for human gingival fibroblast.Methods:Human gingival fibroblast(HGF)was incubated in culture solution containing propolis or calcium hydroxide at different concentrations.The relative growth rates(RGR)were examined by method of MTT assay and cytotoxicity was classified by the five-class method.Then the results were statistically analysed.Results:The cytotoxicities of both 0.1% to 0.6% propolis and calcium hydroxide solutions at different concentration were all graded as first or second class.There was no statistical difference between them.Conclusion:Propolis and calcium hydroxide have weak cytotoxicity for HGF and they are all safe as local application for oral diseases.

Objective:To evaluate bacteriostasis effect of domestic-made water-soluble propolis on prevotella intermedia(Pi),fu-sobacterium nucleatum(Fn)and mixture bacteria of Pi and Fn in vitro.Methods:With agar dilution,minimal bactericidal con-centrations(MBC)of propolis for Fn,Pi and mixture bacteria were determined.Results:MBC of propolis for Fn,Pi or mixture bacteria were 0.025%,0.025%,0.05% respectively.Conclusion:Propolis shows the favourable antibacterial activity against the main anaerobic bacterium in infectious root canal which it has a value of application for disinfecting root canal.

Objective:To establish the identification method of Jianpigao Tablets.Methods: The microscopic identification and TLC were used. Results: 8 herbs in Jianpigao Tablets can be identified by microscopic identified. Radix Codonopsis, Rhizoma atractylodis macrocephalea and Radix glycyrrhizae can be identified respectively by TLC.Conclusions: The method is accurate and simple, and can be used for quality control of Jianpigao Tablets.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a devastating vasculitis of the aorta and its major branches,coronary and pulmonary arteries.The clinical manifestations in children are less specific than in adnlts:the disease in children presents with fever,arthralgias,vomiting,weight loss and hypertension.Conventional angiography,which is recognized as the golden standard in evaluating vascular lesions in TA,combined with computer tomography angiography (CTA),magnetic resonance angiography (MRA),ultrasonography,could not only provide important information for early diagnosis,but also detect disease activity.New immunosuppressive agents and biological therapies,such as TNF-a blocking agents,have been verified to be effective although corticosteroids and conventional immunosuppressive agents are still basic treatment.

Objective To detect the serum level of interleukin (IL)-1 1, lymphocyte subsets and NK cells in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and explore the related factors in the pathogenesis of ITP. Methods The serum level of IL-11, lymphocyte subsets and NK cells were detected by double antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometry in 50 ITP patients (ITP group) and 30 controls (control group). Results The platelet in ITP group [ (30.21 ± 19.40) ×109/L] was lower than that in control group [ (207.21 ± 31.55 ) × 109/L] obviously (P ＜ 0.05 ); the serum level of IL-11 in ITP group [(255.72 ± 163.43) ng/L] was significantly higher than that in control group [ (40.60 ± 5.57 ) ng/L ] (P ＜ 0.05 ). The correlation analysis indicated that the blood serum levels of IL- 11 had negative relationship with the platelet (r = -0.557 ,P ＜ 0.05). The percentage of CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocyte percentage, CD4+/CD8+ in ITP group were lower and the percentage of CD8+ T lymphocyte was higher than those in control group obviously (P ＜ 0.05 ). The percentage of CD3- CD(16+56) +NK cell in ITP group was lower than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion IL-11, lymphocyte subgroup and NK cell change correlate with ITP morbidity closely, and the IL-11 level and the platelet possibly have the negative feedback control action.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the safety of influenza A/H1N1 vaccine. METHODS:1 200 medical staff who were vaccinated influenza A/H1N1 vaccine on Oct. 27 th of 2009 were followed up on next day. Those cases of severe hematuria and proteinuria were analyzed and reported. RESULTS:A 32 years old woman developed abdominal pain,lumbago,accompanied by frequent urination,urgency of urination and odynuria in 20 hours after vaccinated influenza A/H1N1 vaccine. Routine urine tests showed dark red turbid urine,RBC(+ + +),proteinuria(+ + +). 20 days later,the index of routine urine test returned to normal. CONCLUSION:Hematuria and proteinuria caused by influenza A/H1N1 vaccine shows rare adverse reaction while great importance should be attached to it.

Based on the serious analysis of the present situation in teaching of professional English for biotechnology in medical universities and combined with the practice,a system of English teaching for biotechnology is set up.
