Many hematological malignances involve recurrent chromosomal abnormalities, and the reciprocal translocation is one of them. However, there are a lot of chromosomal abnormalities with lower incidence and unclear clinical significance. Among them, the one abnormal karyotype translocation, t (1;12) (q21; p13) is a rare karyotype change. Only 6 patients had been reported to have this karyotype and all of them suffered from hematologic diseases, including one case of acute myeloid leukemia, one case of high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome, two children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, one case of chronic myeloid leukemia at accelerated phase and one case of multiple myeloma. Among them, the fusion gene were detectable in two cases. In this article, the common chromoscme karyotype abnormality involving 1q21 and 12p13, and genes involving in these regious are summarized, moreover the reported cases of t(1;12) (q21;p13) are reviewed.

Objective To investigate whether the protective effects of leonurine (SCM-198) against endotoxin induced uveitis (EIU) of SD rats caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was existing,and discuss the underlying mechanisms.Methods Thirty-six normal healthy male SD rats were divided into 3 groups randomly with the same baseline bodyweight and feeding conditions.All rats received intragastric administration every day.The experimental group was devided into 4 subgroups,rats in these subgroups received SCM-198 intragastric administration by as the dose of 10,20,40 and 80 mg/kg bodyweight per day,rats in the negative control group received intragastric administration of normal saline 10 mL/kg per day,rats in the positive control group received intragastric administration ofdexamethasone (DEX) 0.5 mg/kg bodyweight per day.All rats received a 21-day-intragastric administration.The body weight of all rats was monitored every 7 days.The electroretinogram (ERG) examination was taken in the 18th day.All rats received a 100 mg S.typhi LPS intraperitoneal injection after the 21st intragastric administration.Twenty-four hours later,following anaesthesia,all rats received another ERG examination,and inflammation was scoring under microscope by 2 experienced ophthalmologists,after that the aqueous humor of all rats was collected from the left eye.The aqueous humor was kept in-80 ℃ immediately.Then the rats were sacrificed and the right eyes were immediately enucleated to finish the HE staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining examination of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1).The total amount of protein in aqueous humor was detected by BCA test.Western blot was used to examine the expression of TNF-α,interleukin-1β (IL-1β),IL-6 and ICAM-1.All data was analyzed by SPSS 19.0,and differences were considered significant at P＜0.05.Results The body weight of the rats in positive control group was significantly lower (P＜0.05) than the experimental group and the negative control group after the 21-day-intragastric administration.The inflammatory score of experimental group was lower than that of the negative control group,but higher than the score of positive control group.The HE staining sections showed the similar results.The a wave of ERG in 0.01 cd of rats received 20 mg/kg SCM-198 daily intragastric administration after LPS injection was significantly lower than that before the LPS injection (P＜0.05),also lower than other groups after LPS injection.The expression of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β in the aqueous humor of the rats in the subgroup of SCM-198 10 mg/kg daily intragastric administration was lower than other groups.Conclusions Intragastric administration of SCM-198 has protective effect against endotoxin induced uveitis in SD rats without obvious adverse reaction,which could alleviate the imflammatory reaction and the damage to the uvea construction.NF-κB plays an important role in the reaction.Thus,SCM-198 is a candidate potent compound with potential therapeutic applications in inflammation associated eye diseases.While the best mode and dose of administration should be further investigated.

Objective To explore the effects of nursing intervention based on domiciliary oxygen therapy tracking tables (DOTT) quantitative classification on domiciliary oxygen in elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods Forty-two cases of elderly patients with stable COPD treated by domiciliary oxygen therapy from January 2015 to March 2015 were selected as the experimental group,and were given bilateral nasal catheter domiciliary oxygen therapy,and were provided domiciliary oxygen therapy management,nursing education and intervention according to results of family oxygen therapy compliance,symptom identification and oxygen safety,and family oxygen therapy confidence evaluated by family oxygen therapy tracking table.Other 30 cases of patients with stable COPD treated by bilateral nasal catheter domiciliary oxygen therapy and routine nursing during the same period of time were selected as the control group.Both groups were provided nursing care for at least 6 months.Nursing adherence,acute episode,patient satisfaction,and quality of life score before and after nursing of two groups were compared.Results Compared with the control group,nursing adherence and patient satisfaction after 6 months in the experimental group were higher,while rate of patients with acute episodes ≥ 2 times in the experimental group was lower (P＜0.05).Compared with that before nursing intervention,quality of life scores of two groups after nursing intervention were lower(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,quality of life scores of the experimental group were all decreased (P＜0.05).Conclusion Nursing intervention based on domiciliary oxygen therapy tracking tables quantitative classification can effectively reduce the incidence of acute episodes,improve patient's nursing compliance,patient satisfaction,and quality of life.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of ceftriaxone on the intestinal epithelium and microbiota in mice in the early-life stage, as well as the recovery of the intestinal epithelium and reconstruction of intestinal microbiota in adult mice.

METHODSA total of 36 BALB/C neonatal mice were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, with 18 mice in each group. The mice in the experimental group were given ceftriaxone 100 mg/kg every day by gavage within 21 days after birth. Those in the control group were given an equal volume of normal saline by gavage. Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of Ki67, Muc2, and ZO-1 in the intestinal epithelium. qPCR and next-generation sequencing were used to analyze the overall concentration and composition of fecal bacteria.

RESULTSAfter 21 days of ceftriaxone intervention, the experimental group had a significant reduction in body weight, a significant reduction in the expression of Ki67 and ZO-1 and a significant increase in the expression of Muc2 in intestinal epithelial cells, a significant reduction in the overall concentration of fecal bacteria, and a significant increase in the diversity of fecal bacteria compared with the control group (P<0.05). Firmicutes was the most common type of fecal bacteria in the experimental group, and there were large amounts of Staphylococcus and Enterococcus. The experimental group had a certain degree of recovery of the intestinal epithelium, but there were still significant differences in body weight and the structure of intestinal microbiota between the two groups at 56 days after birth (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSEarly ceftriaxone intervention significantly affects the development of the intestinal epithelium and the construction of intestinal microbiota in the early-life stage. The injury of the intestinal microbiota in the early-life stage may continue to the adult stage and affect growth and development and physiological metabolism.

Fatty acids(FAs),which were initially recognized as energy sources and essential building blocks of biomembranes,serve as the precursors of important signaling molecules.Tracing FA metabolism is essential to understanding the biochemical activity and role of FAs in physiological and pathological events.Inspired by the advances in click chemistry for protein enrichment,we herein established a click chemistry-based enrichment(CCBE)strategy for tracing the cellular metabolism of eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA,20:5 n-3)in neural cells.Terminal alkyne-labeled EPA(EPAA)used as a surrogate was incubated with N2a,mouse neuroblastoma cells,and alkyne-labeled metabolites(ALMs)were selectively captured by an azide-modified resin via a Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction for enrichment.After removing unlabeled metabolites,ALMs containing a triazole moiety were cleaved from solid-phase resins and subjected to liquid chromatography mass spectrometry(LC-MS)analysis.The proposed CCBE strategy is highly selective for capturing and enriching alkyne-labeled metabolites from the complicated matrices.In addition,this method can overcome current detection limits by enhancing MS sensitivity of targets,improving the chromatographic separation of sn-position glycerophospholipid regioisomers,facilitating structural characterization of ALMs by a specific MS/MS fragmentation signature,and providing versatile fluorescence detection of ALMs for cellular distribution.This CCBE strategy might be expanded to trace the metabolism of other FAs,small molecules,or drugs.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and genotypes of human rhinovirus (HRV) in patients with upper respiratory tract infection in Qingdao in the winter of 2020.Methods:Throat swab samples were collected from 101 patients with upper respiratory tract infection in Qingdao from November 2020 to January 2021. Quantitative PCR was used to detect 15 common respiratory viruses in the samples. HRV-positive samples were further analyzed with RT-PCR to amplify and sequence HRV VP4/VP2 gene. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the sequencing results and homology analysis was conducted.Results:Six common respiratory viruses were detected in the 101 patients. Thirty-four cases (34/101, 33.66%) were single pathogen infection and two cases were multiple infection (2/101, 1.98%). The positive rate of HRV was the highest (21.78%, 22/101). Twenty HRV VP4/VP2 sequences were successfully amplified. Phylogenetic analysis showed that there were 16 strains of HRV-A subtype and four strains of HRV-C subtype and 14 serotypes were involved.Conclusions:HRV was one of the leading viral pathogens causing upper respiratory tract infection in Qingdao in the winter of 2020 and the predominant subtype was HRV-A.

Objective:To Isolate and identify human rhinovirus (HRV) in hospitalized children with pneumonia in Qingdao in 2020.Methods:A total of 98 throat swab samples were collected from hospitalized children with pneumonia in 2020. Common respiratory viruses were screened through RT-qPCR. The HRV positive samples were inoculated into H1-HeLa cells. Viruses with typical cytopathic effect (CPE) were identified by HRV specific RT-PCR. Subsequently, sequences of HRV-VP4/VP2 gene were used to construct phylogenetic trees and analyze homology with sequences of reference strains through MEGA software.Results:Among 98 hospitalized children with pneumonia, 11 samples were HRV positive in 98 throat swab samples. After the typical CPE appeared in HeLa cells, two strains of HRV were identified by specific RT-PCR. The HRV-A28 and HRV-A58 were confirmed by comparison and analysis of VP4/VP2 sequence. Phylogenetic tree found that the isolated HRV-A28 strain was genetically close to strains of Singapore in 2011, of Tunisia in 2017, and Kenya in 2017. The isolated HRV-A58 strain was genetically close to the strains of Australia in 2009, Venezuela in 2011, Mongolia in 2011, and the United States in 2014.Conclusions:The HRV-A28 and HRV-A58 strains were isolated from the throat swabs of children patients with pneumonia in Qingdao.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical effificacy of electroacupuncture (EA) on treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA) of Shen ()-Sui () insuffificiency (SSI) syndrome type.

METHODSA total of 245 patients (279 knees) of KOA-SSI were randomly assigned to two groups by lottery: 141 knees in the treatment group and 138 knees in the control group. The treatment group was managed with EA at the dominant points of Neixiyan (Ex-LE4) and Waixiyan (Ex-LE5) as well as the conjugate points of Xuanzhong (GB39) and Taixi (KI3) for 30 min, once a day, with 15 days as one course; 2 courses were applied with a 5-day interval in between. The control group was treated with intra-articular injection of 2 mL hyaluronic acid into the affected joint every 7 days for 5 times in total. The clinical effects on the patients in different stages were observed, and their symptom scores of knee and contents of cytokines, including interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), prostaglandin E(2alpha) (PGE(2alpha)) and matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3), in the knee joint fluid were measured before and after treatment.

RESULTSThe study was completed in 235 patients (263 knees); four patients (7 knees) in the treatment group and six patients (9 knees) in the control group dropped out. Comparison of therapeutic effects (excellent and effective rates) between the two groups showed insignificant differences (P>0.05). Symptom scores of knee and contents of cytokines in the knee flfluid after treatment were lowered signifificantly in the patients of stage I-III in both groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). However, the lowering of the total symptom score of knee in the patients of stage III in the treatment group was more signifificant (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSEA could effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms in KOA patients of stage III, showing an effect superior to that of hyaluronic acid. EA also shows action in suppressing the secretion of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-alpha, PGE(2alpha) and MMP-3 in the knee flfluid.

Objective: To explore effects of histone deacetylase inhibitor Belinostat on the immunologic function of dendritic cells (DC) and its possible mechanism. Methods: Cultured mouse bone marrow-derived DC from C57BL/6 mouse in vitro. The experiments were divided into 0, 50, 100 nmol/L Belinostat + immature DC (imDC) group, and 0, 50, 100 nmol/L Belinostat mature DC (mDC). The changes of the ultrastructure of DC were observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). Immunophenotype and CCR7 expression rate were detected by FCM, and the migration rate was observed by chemotaxis assay. The proliferation of lymphocytes stimulated by different DC was detected by mixed lymphocyte culture reaction. The cytokines in the culture supernatant, including TNF-α, IL-12 and IL-10, were examined by ELISA. RQ-PCR was used to examine the relative expression of mRNA in RelB. Results: Successful cultured and identified the qualified imDC and mDC. Belinostat decreased the expression of CCR7 on imDC [(25.82±7.25)% vs (50.44±5.61)% and (18.71±2.00)% vs (50.44±5.61)%], meanwhile increased the rate on mDC [(71.14±1.96)% vs (64.90±1.47)%]. Chemotaxis assay showed that the migration rate of Belinostat+imDC and Belinostat+mDC group were both decreased, but the difference in imDC was not significant. T lymphocyte proliferation rate stimulated by 100 nmol/L Belinostat+imDC group was lower than imDC group in condition irritation cell∶reaction cell=1∶2 [(227.09±13.49)% vs (309.49±53.69)%]. Belinostat significantly suppressed the secretion of cytokines TNF-α, IL-12 and IL-10 (all P<0.01). The relative expression of mRNA in RelB was slightly decreased in Belinostat+imDC and Belinostat+mDC group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Belinostat could effectly suppress DC maturation and regulate immune tolerance of DC, which may be due to the down-regulation of mRNA level of RelB in DC.
