Objective To screen out significant differential genes for predicting the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and select the most suitable breast cancer patients for NAC. Methods A total of 60 breast cancer patients' samples before and after NAC were collected for high-throughput RNA-Seq. We selected AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 as the candidate genes that related to tumor chemotherapeutic resistance. We analyzed the correlation of AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ, AKAP12 expression levels with the effect of NAC by logistic regression analysis, constructed a prediction model and demonstrated the model by the nomogram. Results AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 expression were up-regulated in the residual tumor tissues of non-pCR group after NAC(P < 0.05). Compared with pCR group, non-pCR group presented higher expression levels of AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 (P < 0.05). The high expression levels of AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 significantly reduced the pCR rate of NAC for breast cancer (P < 0.05). Our prediction model which AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 were involved in showed a good fitting effect with H1 test (χ²=6.3967, P=0.4945) and the ROC curve (AUC 0.8249, 95%CI: 0.722-0.9271). Conclusion AHNAK, CIDEA, ADIPOQ and AKAP12 may be novel marker genes for NAC effect on breast cancer. The efficacy prediction model based on this result is expected to be a new method to select the optimal patients of breast cancer for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

We report here a human case of Taenia asiatica infection which was confirmed by genetic analyses in Dali, China. A patient was found to have symptoms of taeniasis with discharge of tapeworm proglottids. By sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene, we observed nucleotide sequence identity of 99% with T. asiatica and 96% with T. saginata. Using the cytochrome b (cytb) gene, 99% identity with T. asiatica and 96% identity with T. saginata were found. Our findings suggest that taeniasis of people in Dali, China may be mainly caused by T. asiatica.

Objective To explore the efficacy and feasibility of idarubicin combined with medium-dose arabinoside in intensive chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods Fifty remittent patients with induced chemotherapy who underwent the intensive consolidation therapy with medium-dose arabinoside from January 2010 to January 2015 in hematology department of General Hospital of Beijing Military Area were considered as the treatment group. The single arabinoside (2 g/m 2, 1/12 h, d1-3) treatment for 50 cases in the same period were considered as the control group. Two groups were performed with 6 courses sequential. There were 28 males, 22 females in the treatment group, and average age was 27.6 years (18-52 years), with 3 cases of M 1, 27 cases of M2, 8 cases of M4, 12 cases of M5. In the control group, there were 30 males, 20 females, and average age was 26.8 years (16-50 years), with 2 cases of M1, 30 cases of M2, 8 cases of M4, 10 cases of M5. Then the complications and disease-free survival of two groups were observed respectively. Results Follow-up was done until June 2015. In the treatment group, 1 case died of pulmonary infection, 2 cases died of septic shock and 3 cases died of pulmonary infection, 1 case died of septic shock in the control group. The treatment related mortality of both groups were 6 % (3/50), 8 % (4/50), the related relapse rates were 32 % (16/50), 52 % (26/50), the disease-free survival rates were 62 % (31/50), 40 % (20/50) respectively in two groups. Conclusion Compared with the single arabinoside, the intensive consolidation therapy with medium-dose arabinoside and idarubicin for the treatment of AML has gained lower relapse rate and the related mortality, and the DFS rate has been improved significantly, which need further clinical application.

Objective To explore the effects of dead box 1 (DDX1) gene on cell apoptosis,proliferation and cell cycle of neuroblastoma(NB) cells.Methods SK-N-BE(2)/blank,SK-N-BE(2)/shV and SK-N-BE (2)/shDDX1 cells were seeded in 96-well plates,which grew in good condition and in the logarithmic growth phase,5 000 cells were inoculated in each well and 5 repeated holes were set.Cell count kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the cell number at 12 h,24 h,36 h,48 h,and the average was calculated.The time (hour) was set as abscissa,the optimal density (A) value at 450 nm was set as vertical axis,and the growth curves of these 3 cells were drawn to investigate the effects of DDX1 on the proliferation of NB cells.After 24 h,flow cytometry (PI staining) was used to detect the apoptosis of SK-N-BE (2)/blank,SK-N-BE (2)/shV and SK-N-BE (2)/shDDX1 cell lines to observe the effects of DDX1 on the apoptosis of NB cells.After 24 h,flow cytometry (PI staining) was used to detect the proportion of SK-N-BE(2)/blank,SK-N-BE(2)/shV and SK-N-BE(2)/shDDX1 cells at G1,S,M,G2 stage to observe the effects of DDX1 on the cell cycle of NB cells.Results SK-N-BE (2)/shDDX1 cell proliferation was significantly lower than SK-N-BE(2)/blank and SK-N-BE(2)/shV cells,that was to say,DDX1 knockdown reduced the cell proliferation of NB.According to the flow cytometry results,the total average apoptosis rate was 5.28％ in SK-N-BE (2)/shV cells,and the total average apoptosis rate was 9.99 ％ in SK-N-BE (2)/shDDX1 cells.The number of apoptotic SK-N-BE (2)/shDDX1 cells was significantly higher than the number of SK-N-BE (2)/blank and SK-N-BE (2)/shV cells,which indicated that DDX1 knockdown increased tumor cell apoptosis of NB.Compared with SK-N-BE(2)/blank and SK-N-BE(2)/shV cells,the cell cycle of SK-N-BE(2)/shDDX1 cells was arrested,and the proliferation was affected.Conclusions After DDX1 expression is inhibited,the cell cycle of NB cells are affected,the cell apoptosis is increased,and the cell proliferation is reduced.

Objective To explore the effects of dead box 1 (DDX1) gene on invasion,migration and drug resistance capability of neuroblastoma(NB) cells.Methods According to the virus drop degree,the appropriate amount of target virus(Lenti-DDX1-MIR virus liquid,drop degrees 1012 TU/L) and negative control virus(Lenti-EGFP virus liquid,drop degrees 3 × 1011 TU/L) (multiplicity of infection was 10) were added into 2 hole cells,respectively.SK-N-BE(2)/blank,SK-N-BE(2)/shV and SK-N-BE(2)/shDDX1 cells which grew in good condition were cultured.Transwell chamber was used to detect the invasion,and cell staining was made with crystal violet.The researchers calculate 5 field counting in each small room and calculate the average cell invasion rate.Transwell chamber was used to detect the migration,and cell staining was made with crystal violet.The 570 nm absorbance values was tested with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader,and cell migration was calculated.The researchers used 50 mg Cisplatin,solution 10 g/L mother liquor standby with 5 mL dimethyl sulphoxide,and 50 mg Doxorubicin,solution 1 g/L mother liquor standby with PBS.Drugs were added to the cell culture plate,and Doxorubicin final concentration was 1.0 mg/L,and Cisplatin final concentration was 2.5 mg/L,and photographic record was documented after drug treatment for 24 h.Cell Count Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the drug sensitivity to NB cells to Doxorubicin and Cisplatin.Results Transwell results showed that,cell invasion concentration in SK-N-BE (2)/shDDX1 was 60％ compared with SK-N-BE (2)/blank and SK-N-BE (2) /shV;Crystal violet staining showed that cell invasion of SK-N-BE(2)/shDDX1 was significantly weaker than that of SK-N-BE(2)/blank and SK-N-BE(2)/shV cells,that is to say,DDX1 knockdown reduced the cell invasion of NB.Transwell results showed that,cell migration concentration in SK-N-BE(2)/shDDX1 was 50％ compared with SK-N-BE(2)/blank and SK-N-BE(2)/shY;Crystal violet staining showed that cell migration of SK-N-BE(2)/shDDX1 was significantly weaker than that of SK-N-BE(2)/blank and SK-N-BE(2)/shV cells,that is to say,DDX1 knockdown reduced the cell migration of NB.With DDX1 knockdown,24-h inhibition rate of SK-N-BE (2)/shDDX1 cell was 1.93 times of SK-N-BE (2)/shV cell with 1.0 mg/L Doxorubicin,24 h inhibition rate of SK-N-BE(2)/shDDX1 cell was 1.38 times of SK-N-BE(2)/shV cell with 2.5 mg/L Cisplatin.DDX1 knockdown could increase the Doxorubicin and Cisplatin drug sensitivity to NB cells.Conclusion DDX1 knockdown can decrease the cell invasion,migration and resistance capability of NB and increase the Doxorubicin and Cisplatin drug sensitivity of NB cells.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the amount of grafted cells and the incidence of acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) after haploid hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). Methods Data of 68 patients who underwent haplo-HSCT from Jan 2009 to Dec 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Influences of different factors on the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of aGVHD after HSCT were evaluated. Results 68 patients including 42 males and 26 females were 5/10-9/10 HLA match with 19 father donors, 24 mother donors, 16 sibling donors and 9 children donors. 51 patients not suffered Ⅲ-Ⅳdegree of aGVHD included 32 males and 19 females with the mean age of 20 years old (5-55 years old). 17 patients sufferedⅢ-Ⅳdegree of aGVHD including 10 males and 7 females with the mean age of 23 years old (5-54 years old). There were no significant differences in the amount of the grafted mononuclear cells (MNC) and CD34+cells, and the white blood cell counts (WBC) and platelet count (Plt) recovered time between two groups (P>0.05). However, MNC number was related to CD34+cell number (P<0.05) and WBC recover time (P<0.05), and the CD34+cells number was related to WBC and Plt recover time (P< 0.05). Conclusion The incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of aGVHD is unrelated to the amount of grafted MNC, and CD34+cells.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the relationship between the immune function and the pathogenesis of aplastic anemia in children with aplastic anemia(AA),along with the incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD)by monitoring the changes of T lymphocyte subsets dynamically in +1 ,+3,+6,+1 2 months for blood disease patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Methods Twelve AA patients re-ceived allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Department of Hematology,the Affiliated General Hospital of Beijing Military Region of Anhui Medical University,from January 201 3 to January 201 4,including 4 male and 8 fe-male,with average age of 7.92 years old(3 -1 4 years old)with 5 cases of human leukocyte antigen(HLA)matched and 7 cases of HLA mismatched.The level of T lymphocyte subsets including CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,CD4 +/CD8 +, CD56 +,CD4 +CD25 high +FOXP3 +were monitored with flow cytometry before transplantation and in +1 ,+3,+6,+1 2 months after transplantation dynamically in the peripheral blood.While in the same period the level of T lymphocyte subsets was monitored in 1 2 cases of healthy children at the same period as the healthy control group.Results Fol-lowed up to March 201 5,1 0 cases had abnormal cellular immunity (CD4 +/CD8 + ratio inversion)in the 1 2 AA pa-tients.Compared with the control group,in the AA group,CD3 + was slightly higher,(66.79 ±7.35)% and (62.74 ± 5.58)% respectively(P =0.043),CD4 + was decreased by (33.73 ±7.26)% and (39.54 ±3.46)% respectively (P =0.037),CD8 + was increased by (35.69 ±6.78)% and (25.34 ±4.36)%,respectively (P =0.000),CD4 +/CD8 + decreased by 1 .23 ±0.56 and 1 .78 ±0.34 respectively(P =0.001 )and CD56 + was decreased by (7.46 ± 2.80)% and (1 6.73 ±3.70)% respectively(P =0.000),CD4 +CD25 high +FOXP3 + was decreased by (3.3 ± 1 .5)% and (8.1 ±1 .3)% respectively (P =0.003),whose difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).The lever of CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,CD4 +/CD8 +,CD56 +,CD4 +CD25 high +FOXP3 + had a different degree of recovery after transplantation for all cases and returned to normal in +1 2 months basically.In +1 ,+3,+6,+1 2 months after transplantation,the levels of CD4 +CD25 high +FOXP3 + in GVHD positive group and negative group were (0.4 ± 0.6)% and (1 .6 ±0.7)% respectively,(0.7 ±0.3)% and (2.7 ±0.4)% respectively,(1 .1 ±0.5 )% and (2.9 ±0.7)% respectively,(1 .4 ±0.3)% and (3.6 ±0.2)% respectively,which had statistical significance (P <0.05).Conclusions There was abnormal cell immune function in some cases with AA.After transplantation,the level of CD4 +CD25 high +FOXP3 + is closely related to the acute GVHD,which can be used to predict the occurrence of GVHD.

Objective To detect the expression of dead box 1(DDX1)gene in tumor tissue and pericarcino-matous tissue of clinical neuroblastoma(NB)samples,and explore the relationship between DDX1 and NB. Methods Five cases of pathological specimens in children with NB were chosen from Department of Pathology,the First Affi-liated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University between January 2012 and December 2014. In the 5 cases,3 cases were male,2 cases were female,the age of 1 - 5 years old,average age(2. 1 ± 1. 6)years. The NB tissue and pericarcino-matous tissue(pericarcinomatous tissue was normal tissue which was at least 2 cm from the tumor tissue)of 5 children were collected and fixed in 40 g/ L formaldehyde solution. Then with the conventional dehydration,embedding,sectio-ning, dewaxing, hydration, antigen repair, add primary antibodies, secondary antibodies, diaminobenzine chromogenic. The expressions of DDX1 in tumor tissue and pericarcinomatous were observed with light microscopy and with semi - quantitative analysis.(1)Staining degree:no staining with 0 score;light staining with 1 score;medium staining with 2 scores;deeply staining with 3 scores.(2)Positive cells proportion:positive cells proportion ﹤ 10% with 0 score;positive cells proportion within 10% - 30% with 1 score;positive cells proportion within 31% - 60% with 2 scores;positive cells proportion ﹥ 61% with 3 scores. Final scores were a half of the sum of staining degree score and positive cells proportion score,final score within 0 -1. 0 with - ,1. 1 -2. 0 with + ,2. 1 - 3. 0 with + + ,3. 1 -5. 0 with + + + . Results DDX1 were expressed in NB and pericarcinomatous tissues,but visible DDX1 positive staining number more and deeper in NB,DDX1 positive staining number less and light in pericarcinomatous tissues. Five cases of pericarcinomatous tissues immunohistochemical semi - quantitative score were negative and final scores were 1. 0 score or less,the mean value was 0. 5 score. NB immunohistochemical semi - quantitative score were+or + +and final scores were 1. 5 score or higher,the mean value was 1. 8 scores,the expressions of DDX1 were sig-nificantly higher in NB than the pericarcinomatous tissues. Conclusions DDX1 is highly expressed in NB,which may contribute to the development of NB. This suggest DDX1 may serve as an oncogene and play a catalytic role in the de-velopment of NB,which provides a clinical evidence for the follow - up study.
