Objective To detect and separate the side population cells(SP) from multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines PRIM8226,and to study their biological characteristics.Methods Fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) and Hoechst33342/PI dye were used to sort SP cells of PRIM8226.The multiplication capacity was tested by the growth curve and MTT test,SP cells proportion and the cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry,the colony-formtion ability was compared in terms of colony forming experiment,the expression of c-myc,KIF4,SOX2,OCT4 was tested by RT-PCR.The oncogenicity of the cells was analyzed by nude mouse transplantation tumor experiment in vivo.Results The ratio of SP cells in PRIM8226 was (1.78±0.89) ％.More SP cells in the G0 / G1 period,(44.34±3.09) ％ vs (28.49±1.97) ％,P ＜ 0.05,and fewer cells in S phase than MP cells,(38.83±3.69) ％ vs (51.49±4.62) ％,P ＜ 0.05.There were no difference in the expression of CD38 and CD138 between SP cells and MP cells,respectively,(78.5±8.5) ％ vs (82.0±4.0) ％ and (72.3±15.7) ％ vs (84.3±11.9) ％,P ＞ 0.05.Colony formation assay showed that the colony forming efficiency of the SP cells was higher than the MP cells,single cell clone diameter,the number of clone forming,the clone formtion rate were significantly higher than MP cells,0.280±0.016 vs 0.118±0.019,1 722±127 vs 358±14,(86.1±3.46) ％ vs (17.9±1.88) ％,P ＜ 0.05.The mRNA expression levels of c-myc,KIF4,SOX2,OCT4 in SP cells were higher than those in MP cells,c-myc (29.90±3.73) ％ vs (16.84±2.35) ％,KIF4 (29.97±2.89) ％ vs (19.06±1.23) ％,SOX2 (40.00±4.58) ％ vs (16.62±2.09) ％,OCT4 (32.96±0.92) ％ vs (23.27±0.92) ％,all P ＜ 0.05.Nude mouse transplantation tumor experiment in vivo showed the oncogenicity of the SP cells was more stronger than MP cells (5×103 vs 5×l05).Conclusion There are notably difference in the cell cycle,colony formation assay,the mRNA expression levels and oncogenicity,but no difference in the expression of CD38 and CD138,the proliferation ability between SP cells and MP cells.

Different maternal positions and movement are utilized gradually in clinic while today it appears that the majority of women in the world birth in supine position or lithotomy position. To know the current situation and progress of the studies concerning different maternal positions and movement during labour and to explore the current relevant problems in clinic. The search strategy was designed to identify the relevant literature. The search was limited to the last 20 years as current literature was sought. Thirty eight papers were identified as relevant and included in this literature review. The majority studies is concerning about the outcome of mother and fetus. There is no unitized clinical pathway currently, and the objects implemented are limited. There is no study related to the requirement of implementing different maternal positions and movement during labor in clinic and the effect of pelvic floor function after parturition. The positive effect of implementing different maternal positions and movement during labor can be sure for the process of parturition and the outcome of mother and baby. Childbirth in different maternal positions and movement is the trend in the future. Therefore, how to utilize different maternal positions and movement during labor well, it is still a huge challenge for medical staff. And more convincing studies and information are needed as evidence in clinic.

With the development of radiotherapy techniques,the efficacy of radiotherapy for liver tumors has been improved,and radiothera-py can be considered as an alternative treatment for patients who are not suitable for surgery.The progress in liver tumor radiotherapy repor-ted in the 55th annual meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO)in 2013,particularly the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy for liver tumors,is reviewed.In the future,radiotherapy may be increasingly used as an ef-fective method in the treatment of liver tumors.The main studies reported at the meeting are sorted as follows in this article.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of ADC values in the evaluation of normal fetal brain development by measuring ADC values changes in specific regions with advancing gestational age.Methods Forty fetuses(gestational age:24 to 41 weeks) with normal brain underwent DWI(b value were 0 and 600 s/mm2).ADC values of the frontal white matter(WM),occipital WM,thalamus,basal ganglia,and cerebellum were measured by post-processing software.The differences among different regions' ADC values were calculated by repeated measurements of ANOVA,and simple linear regression was used to evaluate the relationship between ADC values and gestational age.Results The mean ADC valuesof 40 fetuses were(1 800±214) ×10-6mm2/s in frontal WM,(1 400±100) ×10-6mm2/s in basal ganglia,(1 300±126) ×10-6mm2/s in thalamus,(1 700±133) ×10-6mm2/s in occipital WM and(1 400± 155) × 10-6mm2/s in cerebellum,respectively.There was significant difference in the ADC values among the five regions(F=80.813,P＜0.01).In pair-wise comparison,ADC values of basal ganglia,thalamus and cerebellum had no significant difference; however,others had significant difference between each other.With the increasing gestational age,ADC values of basal ganglia,thalamus,occipital WM and cerebellum decreased,and had significant negative correlations with gestational age(Pearson correlation coefficient were-0.568,-0.716,-0.830 and-0.700,respectively,all P＜0.01).In terms of ADC value,occipital WM declined fastest with gestational age,followed by cerebellum and thalamus,and the slowest was basal ganglia.Frontal ADC values showed no correlation with gestational age(P＞0.05).Conclusions Specific regions of fetal brain have specific ADC values,and ADC values of the region undergo regular change with advancing gestational age.ADC value is a specific quantitative parameter that could help to evaluate normal brain development and early diagnosis of fetal brain lesions.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate ADR induced by dasatinib,and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:By means of literature metrology method,dasatinib-induced ADR cases domestically and internationally reported were analyzed. RSEULTS:A total of 63 ADR cases were induced by dasatinib,and the age of patients were mainly 41-60 years old. The most cases(25.4%)occurred within 1 month of medication. The patients mainly were from Asian countries and regions(53.9%). Organs/systems involved in dasatinib induced ADRs were mainly respiratory system(40.1%),digestive system(17.5%)and hema-tologic system(11.7%). Main clinical manifestations were pleural effusion(23 cases),pulmonary artery hypertension(15 cases), expiratory dyspnea(8 cases),diarrhea(8 cases),etc. CONCLUSIONS:Daring the use of dasatinib,great importance should be attached to ADR monitoring and prevention so as to avoid serious ADR.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection combined with endoscopic variceal libation (EVL) in treatment of acute gastroosophageal variceal bleeding. Methods Twenty-three patients with acute esophagogastric variceal bleeding received endoscopic cyanoacrylate injec-tion combined with EVL within 12 hours of hemostssis. Somatostatin were given intravenously at the dosage of 250 μg/h postoperatively for 72 h. The patients received follow-up endoscopy at 2 weeks and 3 months after the procedure, respectively. The variants including the rate of re-bleeding, mortality, and degree of esopha-gogastric varices were evaluated. Results Success in immediate hemostasis was achieved in all cases and a second EVL was performed in 6 patients 2 weeks later. The effective rate of variceal alleviation in gastric fun-dus was 95.65% and 91.30% in esophageal varices. No recurrent bleeding or death was observed in follow-up of 3 months. Conclusion Endoscopic eyanoaerylate injection combined with EVL is a safe and effective technique in the treatment of patients with acute gastroesophageal variceal bleeding.

Objective To compare the value of NBI with magnify endoscopy (NBI-ME) and Lugol chromoendoscopy (LCE) in preoperative assessment of early esophageal cancer, and assess whether the former can replace the latter. Methods 59 patients, sampled in the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University, the First Hospital of Lanzhou University and the Second Hospital of Lanzhou City from January 2014 to December 2015, were examined respectively by NBI-ME and Lugol chromoendoscopy not only to distinguish the lesion boundaries but also predict the pathological types as well for statistical analysis with the combination of the final postoperative pathological results. Results Only 64.4 % (38/59) of lesion boundaries can be well-distinguished by NBI-ME, which is significantly lower than that distinguished by Lugol chromoendoscopy (91.5 %, 54/59), with its kappa value 0.208< 0.4, P < 0.01 (0.006). It indicated that poor concordance existed in these two methods. The McNemar value which reflects concordance between pathological type predicted by NBI-ME and postoperative pathology was diagnosed to be 5.397, P > 0.05 (0.369), Kappa > 0.4 (0.429), P < 0.01 (0.000), suggesting the concordance can be acceptable. However, the McNemar number diagnosed by Lugol chromoendoscopy was only 4.533, P > 0.05 (0.475), Kappa <0.4 (0.286), P < 0.01 (0.001), showing the poor concordance instead. Conclusions To some extent, pathological type predicted by NBI-ME indeed had an concordance with postoperative pathology, which was also superior to the results examined by Lugol chromoendoscopy, while there was no denying that Lugol chromoendoscopy had an obvious advantage over NBI-ME in terms of distinguishing lesion boundaries, therefore, it can not be completely replaced with NBI-ME at present.

The kidney stores essence,essence generates marrow is one of the important contents in zaag-xiang theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).The kidney-marrow-brain,kidney-marrow-bone and other biological axis put forward by modern scholars took kidney-marrow system as their cores.Derived from this basis as well as under the guidance of TCM holism concept,the construction of TCM kidney-marrow system has been continuously improved;and the kidney-marrow correlation theory has been enriched.To better grasp and apply the kidney-marrow correlation theory can solve clinical problems of major diseases.However,doctors in past dynasties did not clearly define kidney-marrow system. It has not formed a complete theoretical system.Marrow in the kidney-marrow system contained brain,spinal cord and bone marrow.Marrow can generate blood,which nourishes bone together with the bone marrow.The bone marrow connects with the brain and spinal cord,which are all related to blood.Hence,the function of marrow generates blood occupied an important position in the kidney-marrow system. In this paper,the structure and function of the kidney-marrow system were preliminarily explained and constructed;and the kidney-marrow system related theories were further enriched.

There was preliminary understanding of the kidney-marrow correlation from the pre-Qin to Han dynasty.Until Wei-Jin and Sui-Tang dynasty,the close relationship between kidney-essence-marrow-bone-blood-brain was gradually realized in terms of the structure and physiological function.There was a new anatomical understanding of marrow in the Song,Jin and Yuan dynasty.The concept of spinal cord was put forward for the first time.There was also the etiology and pathogenesis on kidney marrow related diseases.In the Ming and Qing dynasty,there was in-depth understanding on the kidney-marrow correlation.However,the concept of kidney-marrow system was not clearly proposed.Modern scholars summarized traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theories on kidney stores essence,essence generates marrow,marrow enriches brain,nourishes bone and transfers into blood. Then,the kidney-marrow systemhad begun to take form.It laid a theoretical foundation for the construction of kidney-marrow system..

Through reviewing and summarizing classical literatures of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medical research results,TCM kidney-marrow system was presented and initially explained.The kidney marrow system is inseparable in structure,interdependent in physiology and mutually influential in pathology.The kidney-marrow system can be applied to the treatment of major diseases in TCM,which included metabolic bone diseases,brain and neurological disorders,haematological diseases and etc.,with significant clinical effects.The in-depth study on TCM kidney marrow system will improve the clinical curative effect of major TCM clinical diseases and achieve the precision treatment in traditional medicine.It displays unique advantages of TCM holism concept and achieves new breakthrough in TCM clinical diseases.
