AIM: To confirm that the inflammation response after mechanical arterial injury correlates with the neointimal hyperplasia in animal model. METHODS: Male Wistar rats underwent left common carotid balloon angioplasty were injected twice with a bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 50 ng/rat) before and after surgery. Next, just after neointima formation, the animals were sacrificed for the evaluation by morphometric analysis, histological observation and immunostaining. Western blot was used to investigate the protein expression of several known mediators of apoptosis. RESULTS: Serum interleukin-1 beta levels as a marker of inflammation were increased after LPS treated. Early neotimal lesions were characterized by intimal thickening and the presence of SMCs. Neointima with smooth muscle alpha-actin negative were observed at 7 days after injured. These areas of neointima demonstrated a relatively high proliferation index by proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) antibody staining, whereas the proliferation index in media was low. Neointimal thickness was significantly increased at 4 weeks after injury in LPS treated animals compared with controls, from (151.2?14.5 to 173.9?15.3) ?m2. Activation of caspase-3 was observed, indicating that smooth muscle cells of neointima was associated with apoptosis. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed NF-?B expression located to the adventitia. CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that nonspecific stimulation of low-level LPS facilitates neointimal formation and may be an important factor in the restenosis of angioplasty.

Objective To analyze the treatment efficacy and safety of a modified GMALL protocol for adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods Data of 37 patients with newly diagnosed adult ALL treated with a modified GMALL protocol from January 2005 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed,and compared with that of 44 patients treated with an in-house conventional protocol at the same period.Results The complete remission (CR) rate was 89.2 %(33/37) treated with modified GMALL protocol. The cumulative overall survival (OS) rates at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years and 4 years were 77.5 %, 48.0 %, 40.0 %and 40.0 %, respectively. The main adverse events were grade 3 or grade 4 hematological toxicities and infections which were easily managed, and the treatment-related mortality rate was low. The OS of modified GMALL protocol was superior to that of the conventional protocol. Conclusion The modified GMALL protocol has a satisfying effect and the adverse events can be tolerated for adult ALL, so its clinical application can be encouraged.

Objective To set up a real-time quantitative PCR approach for detection and quantification for bcr-abl transcripts in CML patients,and detect minimal residual disease (MRD) in CML by real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR)and evaluate the significance of MRD detection.Methods The ber-abl.fusion gene expression in 80 patients with CML was analyzed by RQ-PCR. The patients were divided into three groups according to the different treatment, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation group,imatinib group and hydroxyurea group. The change of bcr-abl fusion gene was monitored in CML patients before and after treatment.Results The average of RQ-PCR detection on newly diagnosed patients with CML in chronic phase was 6847.67 copies / 104 cells,the accelerated phase was 306 176.08 copies / 104 cells,and the average results were 944.33, 2.37, 0.29, 0 copies / 104 cells after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation one month,6 months,12 months or 24 months respectively.The average of RQ-PCR detection after use imatinib mesylate 3 months was 3720.23 copies / 104 cells and not be detected after one year. The average was 7290.11 and 3143.24 copies / 104 cells after hydroxyurea treatment 0 and 9 months respectively.The difference in first two groups was not significant (t=1.74,P=0.17), but the difference between the third group and the first two groups was significant (t=3.74,P=0.01.t=2.97,P=0.02). The upregulation of bcr-abl transcript levels could be detected when disease progression. The transcripts level in accelerated phase was significantly higher than that in chronic phase. Conclusion RQ-PCR can be used to detect the MRD,monitor the treatment outcome,predict disease recurrence and give early intervention.

ObjectiveTo explore the genetic abnormalities of multiple myeloma (MM)patients by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).MethodsWith the application of FISH,sequence specific DNA probes (IGH,DI3S319/p53 and 1q21/RB1) were applied to detect 14q32 rearrangement,del(13q14),del (17p13)and gain of lq21.Forty-four MM patients were enrolled in this study.ResultsThirty-two cases (72.7 ％) detected by FISH had genetic abnormality in 44 cases,lq21 amplification was observed in 11 cases (25.0 ％),while RB1 deletion in 17 cases (38.6 ％),D13S319 deletion in 16 cases (36.4 ％),p53 deletion in 6 cases(13.6 ％)and 14q32 translocation in 19 cases(43.2 ％).The patients with one abnormality was detected in 10 cases(22.7 ％),two abnormalities in 11 cases(25.0 ％),three abnormalities in 8 cases (18.2 ％),4 abnormalities in 3 cases(6.8 ％).28 were found to undergo split-phase by conventional cytogenetic in 44 patients.The patients with genetic abnormalities detected by conventional G-banding was 2 cases (7.14 ％),the difference with that in FISH was significant (P ＜0.05).Genetic abnormalities compared with clinical parameters showed that β2-MG in IGH gene abnormal patients were significantly higher than those without such abnormalities (P ＜0.05).Patients with bone marrow plasma cells of lq21 amplification were higher than those with normal karotypes(P ＜0.05),CRE was significantly higher among lq21 amplification and p53 deletion patients (P ＜0.05),CRP was significantly higher among p53 deletion patients (P ＜0.05).No significant difference was oberserved in relationship of the chromosome aberration and age,the chromosome aberration and stage.ConclusionThe most common genetic abnormalities in MM is IGH rearrangement and absence of RB1 and D13S319,followed by lq21 amplification,the least is p53 deletion.FISH is a rapid and sensitive technique to refine chromosome aberrations in MM.The specific detection for genomic features of MM is proved to be correlative with its clinicopathologic characteristics and the prognosis.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the value of ultrasound in diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules with rim calcification. Methods Sixty thyroid nodules with rim calcifications from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer center which were detected on ultrasound from January 2008 to December 2015 were included in this study, and all the thyroid nodules had pathological results. Ultrasonic features of thyroid nodules, including the size, border, internal echo, growth pattern, rear echo, interruption or inner sink of the rim calcification and hypoechoic soft tissue extrusion around rim calcification were analyzed. Results Thirty-seven nodules (61.7%) were confirmed to be benign, and twenty-three nodules (38.3%) were malignant. The ultrasonic features of interruption or inner sink of rim calcifications and hypoechoic soft tissue extrusion around rim calcification, were more often in malignant nodules than benign nodules. The sensitivity, specificity, the positive predictive values and the negative predictive values for interruption or inner sink of rim calcifications were 85.7%, 89.4%, 85.7% and 89.4%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, the positive predictive values and the negative predictive values for hypoechoic soft tissue extrusion around rim calcification were 81.3%, 94.4%, 92.9% and 85.0%, respectively. Internal hypoechogenicity was more frequently observed in the malignant nodules (82.6%) than in benign nodules (40.5%). The longitudinal growth pattern of thyroid was more frequently observed in malignant nodules (30.4%) than in benign nodules (2.7%). The differences of this two ultrasound features were statistically significant(χ2=9.958 and 9.440,both P<0.01).There were no significant differences in size,border and the rear echo between malignant and benign nodules (all P>0.05). Conclusion The interruption or inner sink of the rim calcification could be useful in differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules with rim calcification.

We conducted a prospective study to assess the non-inferiority of adjuvant chemotherapy alone versus adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) as an alternative strategy for patients with early-stage (FIGO 2009 stage IB-IIA) cervical cancer having risk factors after surgery. The condition was assessed in terms of prognosis, adverse effects, and quality of life. This randomized trial involved nine centers across China. Eligible patients were randomized to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or CCRT after surgery. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). From December 2012 to December 2014, 337 patients were subjected to randomization. Final analysis included 329 patients, including 165 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and 164 in the adjuvant CCRT group. The median follow-up was 72.1 months. The three-year PFS rates were both 91.9%, and the five-year OS was 90.6% versus 90.0% in adjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the PFS or OS between groups. The adjusted HR for PFS was 0.854 (95% confidence interval 0.415-1.757; P = 0.667) favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding the predefined non-inferiority boundary of 1.9. The chemotherapy group showed a tendency toward good quality of life. In comparison with post-operative adjuvant CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy treatment showed non-inferior efficacy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer having pathological risk factors. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone is a favorable alternative post-operative treatment.
