Objective In order to understand the differentially expressed genes and explore the effects on mechanism of gene expression induced by arsenic trioxide. Methods The mRNA was isolated from human HepG2 cells treated with arsenic trioxide( 5?mol/L ) and DMSO, respectively, then cDNA was synthesized. After restriction enzyme Rsa Ⅰ digestion, small sizes cDNA were obtained. Then tester cDNA was subdivided into two portions and each was ligated with different cDNA adaptor. After tester cDNA was hybridized with driver cDNA twice and underwent nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) twice, the DNA fragment was subcloned into T/A plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive cDNA library. Amplification of the library was carried out with E. coli strain JM109. The cDNA was sequenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after colony PCR. Results The forward subtracted cDNA library from HepG2 cell line induced by arsenic trioxide was successfully constructed. The sequencing analysis showed that there were eight clones contained ferritin H(L) chain in the library. Conclusion Arsenic trioxide can induce the up expression of ferritin H(L) chain protein in HepG2 cells, indicated that the ferritin H(L) chain may play certain role in the mechanism of anti-arsenical cytotoxicity in liver.

Objective To evaluate the value of CT in diagnosing primary small intestinal lymphoma. Methods CT features of 11 cases of primary small intestinal non Hodgkin′s lymphomas were retrospectively analyzed. Results The most frequent location of the diseases were at ileum (10/11). According to the main CT features from all 11 cases, it could be classified into two types: bowel wall thickening type ( n =7) and luminal polypoid mass type ( n =4). 5 of 7 cases in the first type showed aneurysmal sign, while 3 of 4 cases in the second type were combined with intussusception. 7 cases from the two types were found to have mesenteric lymph nodes enlargement, among them 1 case showed “sandwich” sign, 4 showed long range or multicentric intestinal lesions. The tumor detection rate was 81.8%, and the correct diagnosis rate was 63.6% by CT. Conclusion Bowel wall thickening and luminal polypoid mass were two different types of CT features in the primary small intestinal lymphoma, and polymorphic lesions accompanied by multifocal mesenteric lymph nodes enlargement, aneurysmal sign, “sandwich” sign, long range or multicentric intestine lesions were the main characteristic CT features, which may lead to the correct diagnosis by CT.

Objective To explore the correlation of peritumoral brain edema( PTBE)size,histologi-cal grades and the expression rate of Ki-67 in gliomas. Methods The data and specimens about 74 cases of gliomas in People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region during 2010-2013 were collected. All cases were confirmed by surgery and pathology. According to preoperative MRI,PTBE was graded. Immunohisto-chemical discriminate the expression of Ki-67. HE coloration distinguish the histological grades. Results In this study,90. 54%(67/74)patients occured PTBE,the incidence of PTBE inⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳlevel of groups were 100%(3/3),78. 95%(15/19),83. 33%(15/18),100%(34/34). Ki-67 expression was positive in 75. 68%(56/74)patients,and the rates were 0,36. 84%(7/19),94. 44%(17/18),94. 12%(32/34) in Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ level of groups. The expression rate of Ki-67 was 57. 14%(4/7),60. 00%(6/10),and 80. 70%(46/57)in normal group,Ⅰ-level groups of PTBE,Ⅱ-level groups of PTBE. The result of Kruskal-Wallis H showed that the PTBE from different grades was statistically significant(H=11. 304,P=0. 010). The expression rate of Ki-67 in different grade gliomas was statistically significant(H=38. 530,P﹤0. 05), The difference of expression Ki-67 in gliomas of different PTBE was statistically significant( H=6. 478,P=0. 039). The result of Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the PTBE level increased with the histo-logical grade up in gliomas(r=0. 385,P=0. 001). The expression rate of Ki-67 increased with the histologi-cal grade up in gliomas(r=0. 692,P﹤0. 05),and the expression rate of Ki-67 increased with the degree of PTBE up in glomas( r =0. 256,P =0. 028 ). Conclusion Accorrding to the PTBE size,the histological grades and proliferation ability of glioma can be judged pre-operation. Ki-67 can be used as the indicator of pro-liferation activity of tumor,and also be used as the important basis of histological grades.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD) of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) before and after Kanli Decoction treatment. METHODS: Thirty-five CHF patients were treated with Kanli Decoction. We used color Doppler ultrasound to monitor the flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulsatile index (PI), resistance index (RI), baseline blood flow (BF), ejection fraction (EF) before and after the treatment. RESULTS: FMD after treatment (9.26+/-3.19) were obviously higher than that before the treatment (7.06+/-2.58) (P<0.05), but BF, PI and RI were not improved. CONCLUSION: Applying color Doppler ultrasound into observation on EDD of patients suffering from CHF and treated by the Kanli Decoction shows that the CHF could be treated by traditional Chinese medicine.
