OBJECTIVETo observe monocyte (Mo) development in wild type C57BL/6 mice and apoE gene knockout (apoE(-/-)) mice, and to evaluate the immuno-regulatory effect of Huanglian Jiedu Decoction (HJD) on peripheral Mo development in apoE(-/-) mice.

METHODSFour, 8, 12, and 16 weeks old female C57BL/6 mice were set up as control groups of different ages, while 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks old female apoE(-/-) mice were set up as hyperlipidemia groups of different ages. Four-week old female C57BL/6 mice were recruited as a blank group. Four-week old female apoE(-/-) mice were randomly divided into the control group, the Western medicine group, and the Chinese medicine group by paired comparison, 5 in each group. Equivalent clinical dose was administered to mice according to body weight. Mice in the Western medicine group were administered with Atrovastatin at the daily dose of 10 mg/kg by gastrogavage, while those in the Chinese medicine group were administered with HJD at the daily dose of 5 g/kg by gastrogavage. Body weight was detected each week. After 4 weeks blood lipids levels (such as TG, TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C), and the proportions of Mo and Ly6c(hi) were detected.

RESULTSCompared with 4-week-old homogenic mice, the proportion of Mo decreased in 16-week-old C57BL/6 mice (P < 0.05). Levels of TC and TG, and the proportion of Ly6c(hi) subtype increased, but the proportion of Mo de- creased in 8-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P <0. 05). Levels of TC, TG, and LDL-C increased in 12-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P < 0.05). Levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C increased in 16-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with 8-week-old homogenic mice, the proportion of Mo decreased in 16-week-old C57BL/6 mice (P < 0.05); levels of TC and LDL-C increased in 12-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P < 0.05); levels of TC and HDL-C increased in 16-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Compared with C57BL/6 mice of the same age, TC and TG increased, HDL-C decreased (P < 0.01) in 4-and 8-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P < 0.01); levels of TC, TG, LDL-C increased, and HDL-C level decreased in 12- and 16-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); the proportion of Mo increased in 4-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P < 0.05); proportions of Mo and Ly6c(hi) increased in 8-week-old apoE(-/-) mice (P < 0.05). Compared with the blank control group, levels of TC, TG, and LDL-C, proportions of Mo and Ly6c(hi) increased (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), but HDL-C level decreased (P <0. 01) in the control group after intervention. Compared with the control group, body weight gained less in the Western medicine group and the Chinese medicine group (P < 0.05); the proportion of Ly6c(hi) subtype decreased in the Chinese medicine group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSIn development process blood lipids levels in apoE(-/-) mice are not only associated with age. Blood lipids levels induced growth changes in natural immune system are also correlated with age. In early stage of lipids development HJD intervention could correct this special immune disorder in apoE(-/-) mice.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of premature rupture of the membrane (PROM) on neonatal complications in premature infants.

METHODSThe registration information of 7684 preterm infants with gestational age <37 weeks were collected from the cooperative units in the task group between January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014. Specially trained personnel from each cooperative units filled in the unified form in a standardized format to record the gender, gestational age, birth weight, PROM, placental abruption, antenatal corticosteroid, Apgar score, amniotic fluid pollution, and complications of the infants. The data were analyzed comparatively between the cases with PROM and those without (control).

RESULTSThe preterm mortality rate was significantly lower but the incidences of ICH, NEC, ROP and BPD were significantly higher in PROM group than in the control group (P<0.05). The 95% confidence interval of the OR value was <1 for mortality, and was >1 for ICH, NEC, ROP and BPD. After adjustment for gestational age, birth weight, gender, mode of delivery, placental abruption, placenta previa, prenatal hormones, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gestational period hypertension and 5-min Apgar score <7, the incidences of NEC, ROP and BPD were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05) with 95% confidence interval of OR value >1, but the mortality rate and incidence of ICH were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONPROM is a risk factor for NEC, ROP and BPD in preterm infants, and adequate intervention of PROM can reduce the incidences of such complications as NEC, ROP and BPD in the infants.

OBJECTIVETo sum up the clinical experience of the diagnosis and treatment of intracerebral infiltration by monoclonal plasmacytoid cells in Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia(Bing-Neel syndrome).

METHODSThe clinical data of the diagnosis and treatment of a case of Bing-Neel syndrome was analyzed.

RESULTSA 56-year-old male was diagnosed as Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia one year ago, and presented with persistent headache during the treatment period. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a high intensity area on T2-weighed images in the right frontal lobe which was well enhanced by gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid. Infiltration of neoplastic cells was confirmed by biopsy. Immunohistochemical examination showed that mature plasmacytoid cells in the cerebral parenchyma were immunoglobulin M positive.

CONCLUSIONInfiltration in CNS (Bing-Neel syndrome) is uncommon in Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. As there is no effective therapy for this Bing-Neel syndrome, combination of radiation and chemotherapy should be considered for this situation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on cell adhesion molecule expression and adhesion capacity of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) in patients after conditioning treatment for peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). BMSC of 27 patients before and after conditioning treatment for PBSCT were cultured in vitro. After treated with ATRA at 0.01, 0.1, or 1 micromol/L, expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) protein and vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) protein were detected by flow cytometry, and soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) protein was determined by using radioimmunoassay. Then BMSC was co-cultured with CD34+ cells, and adhesion rate of BMSC to CD34+ cells was measured. The results showed that after pretreatment with conditioning regimen for PBSCT, the expressions of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 proteins in BMSC and the expression level of sICAM-1 protein in supernatant of BMSC culture were down-regulated, and the adhesion rate of BMSC to CD34+ cells was decreased, after administration of ATRA, the expression of ICAM-1 protein in BMSC, sICAM-1 protein in culture medium and adhesion rate of BMSC to CD34+ cells all increased significantly, but expression of VCAM-1 protein changed no significantly. It is concluded that the ATRA can partly restore adhesion function of BMSC injured by pretreatment for PBSCT and contribute to hematopoietic reconstitution.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dimethyl amiloride (DMA), a specific inhibitor of Na(+)/H(+) exchanger-1 (NHE-1), on intracellular pH value (pHi), proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60/ADM cells in vitro. After treatment with DMA at different doses, pHi of HL-60 and HL-60/ADM cell lines were determined by using pH-sensitive fluorescence dye BECEF-AM; the rate of growth inhibition of cells was detected with MTT assay; cell cycle was detected by flow cytometric DNA analysis; cell apoptosis was observed with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The results showed that pHi in HL-60/ADM cells was higher than that in HL-60 cells. After treatment with DMA at different doses, pHi decreased, the rate of growth inhibition and the rate of apoptotic cells in HL-60/ADM cells were all higher than those in HL-60 cells. Meanwhile, after treatment with DMA during 100 micromol/L to 150 micromol/L, the increase amplitude of G(0)/G(1) phase cells and the decrease amplitude of S + G(2)/M cells in HL-60/ADM cells were higher than those in HL-60 cells. It is concluded that by causing intracellular acidification, the NHE-1-specific inhibitor DMA inhibits proliferation of HL-60/ADM cells and induces apoptosis of HL-60/ADM cells, and the degree of this growth inhibition of HL-60/ADM cells is higher than that of HL-60 cells.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of inhibiting stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) expression by RNA interference (RNAi) on adhesion and drug sensitivity of Jurkat cells co-cultured with bone marrow stromal cells.

METHODSSDF-1 specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expressing plasmid was transferred into cultured human acute leukemic bone marrow stromal cells, positive clones were isolated by screening G418 resistance (Group A) , SDF-1 protein level in culture supernatant was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The adhesion rates to bone marrow stromal cells layer and the drug sensitivity to doxorubicin of co-cultured Jurkat cells were detected by cell counting and MTT assay, respectively. The un-transfected bone marrow stromal cells of acute leukemia patient (Group B) or normal subject (Group C) were taken as control.

RESULTSThe level of secreted SDF-1 protein (pg/10(5) cells/week) in the supernatants of Group A, B and C were 1920 +/- 205, 12,370 +/- 1355 and 6620 +/- 770, respectively. Of co-cultured Jurkat cells in Group A, B and C, the adhesion rates after 24 h co-culturing were (28.8 +/- 2.6)%, (57.4 +/- 3.8)% and (45.2 +/- 4.0)%, respectively, and the IC50 values of doxorubicin were 585, 6162 and 1758 nmol/L, respectively.

CONCLUSIONDown-regulating SDF-1 expression of bone marrow stromal cells by RNAi reduces adhesion rates and enhances drug sensitivity to doxorubicin of their co-cultured Jurkat cells.

OBJECTIVETo study the effects of RNA interference inhibiting stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) expression on the proliferation and apoptosis of co-cultured Jurkat cells.

METHODInhibition of SDF-1 expression by RNA interference (RNAi) was achieved by transferring SDF-1 specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expressing plasmid into cultured human acute leukemic bone marrow stromal cells. Resistant clones were obtained by G418 selection (group A). The concentration of SDF-1 protein in culture supernatant was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The population double time (PDT), cell cycles, apoptosis rates and the expressions of PCNA, Bcl-2/Bax, Fas/FasL of co-cultured Jurkat cells were detected by cells counting, flow cytometry. TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) and immunocytochemistry (ICC), respectively. The un-transfected acute leukemic (group B) and normal (group C) bone marrow stromal cells were taken as controls.

RESULTSThe content of SDF-1 protein in supernatant of group A\[(384 +/- 41) pg/ml] was significantly lower than that in group B[(2474 +/- 271) pg/ml] or group C[(1324 +/- 154) pg/ml]. As group A compared with group B and group C, the PDT of co-cultured Jurkat cells was prolonged (group A: 42 h, vs group B: 29 h, group C: 33 h), and G(0)/G(1) stage cells increased [group A: (28.47 +/- 2.39)%, vs group B: (19.43 +/- 2.80)%, group C: (27.15 +/- 2.07)%], S stage cells decreased [group A: (25.57 +/- 1.90)%, vs group B: (74.48 +/- 3.23)%, group C: (60.99 +/- 2.33)%], G(2)/M stage cells increased [group A: (45.96 +/- 3.24)%, vs group B: (6.09 +/- 1.96)%, group C: (11.86 +/- 1.98)%], the apoptosis rate increased [group A: (15.2 +/- 0.8)%, vs group B: (5.4 +/- 0.7)%, group C: (9.5 +/- 0.4)%], and the expressions of PCNA, Bcl-2, Fas decreased; whereas the expressions of Bax and FasL were increased.

CONCLUSIONThe inhibition of SDF-1 expression in bone marrow stromal cells inhibits the proliferation and promotes the apoptosis of co-cultured Jurkat cells.

The aim was to analyze the expression level of stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its functional chemokine receptor CXCR4 in the patients with hematologic malignant tumor and their clinic significance. 28 patients with hematologic malignant tumor and 12 normal controls were chosen to be experimental objects. CXCR4 expressed on the cell membrane in bone marrow was enumerated by flow cytometry and serum level of SDF-1 was determined by ELISA assay. The result showed that the expression of SDF-1 and CXCR4 in hematologic malignant tumor were higher than that in normal controls, and the expression levels of two molecules were correlated. What is more, the different hematologic malignant tumor had different CXCR4 expression. In conclusion, the high expression of SDF-1 and CXCR4 in serum and bone marrow cells can be used as detective factors to hematologic malignant tumor. A correlation exists between the high expression of CXCR4 and the infiltration of hematologic malignant cells.
