Objectives:To investigate the clinical and genetic features of young Chinese patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) .Methods:In this cross-sectional study, anonymous questionnaires were distributed to patients with MPN patients nationwide. The respondents were divided into 3 groups based on their age at diagnosis: young (≤40 years) , middle-aged (41-60 years) , and elderly (>60 years) . We compared the clinical and genetic characteristics of three groups of MPN patients.Results:1727 assessable questionnaires were collected. There were 453 (26.2%) young respondents with MPNs, including 274 with essential thrombocythemia (ET) , 80 with polycythemia vera (PV) , and 99 with myelofibrosis. Among the young group, 178 (39.3%) were male, and the median age was 31 (18-40) years. In comparison to middle-aged and elderly respondents, young respondents with MPN were more likely to present with a higher proportion of unmarried status (all P<0.001) , a higher education level (all P<0.001) , less comorbidity (ies) , fewer medications (all P<0.001) , and low-risk stratification (all P<0.001) . Younger respondents experienced headache (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.007; MF, P=0.001) at diagnosis, had splenomegaly at diagnosis (PV, P<0.001) , and survey (ET, P=0.052; PV, P=0.063) . Younger respondents had fewer thrombotic events at diagnosis (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.011) and during the survey (ET, P<0.001; PV, P=0.003) . JAK2 mutations were found in fewer young people (ET, P<0.001; PV, P<0.001; MF, P=0.013) ; however, CALR mutations were found in more young people (ET, P<0.001; MF, P=0.015) . Furthermore, mutations in non-driver genes (ET, P=0.042; PV, P=0.043; MF, P=0.004) and high-molecular risk mutations (ET, P=0.024; PV, P=0.023; MF, P=0.001) were found in fewer young respondents. Conclusion:Compared with middle-aged and elderly patients, young patients with MPN had unique clinical and genetic characteristics.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Jingangwan on the expression of osteoclast, c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK), and interleukin-1(IL-1) in the osteoporosis model rats, explore the mechanism of Jingangwan in the treatment of osteoporosis, and determine the optimal dosing concentration of Jingangwan. MethodFifty-six rats of SPF grade were randomized into a blank group,a sham operation group,a model group, model group,high-, medium-, and low-dose Jingangwan groups (0.72, 0.36, 0.18 g·kg-1·d-1, ig),and an estradiol valerate group (0.009 g·kg-1·d-1, ig), with eight rats in each group. The rats in the model group, the blank group, and the sham operation group received 3 mL of normal saline, respectively. Samples were collected 12 weeks after drug administration. The number of osteoclasts was observed by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. Serum levels of JNK, p38 MAPK, and IL-1 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mRNA expression levels of p38 MAPK and JNK were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultThe TRAP staining results showed that compared with the model group, the estradiol valerate group and the Jingangwan groups could inhibit the formation of osteoclasts to different degrees. As revealed by ELISA results, compared with the model group and the sham operation group, the model group showed increased serum levels of p38 MAPK, JNK, and IL-1 (P<0.01), while compared with the model group, all the groups with drug intervention showed decreased levels of p38 MAPK, JNK, and IL-1 (P<0.01). The serum levels of JNK and IL-1 in the high-dose Jingangwan group were lower than those in the estradiol valerate group (P<0.05). Real-time PCR results showed that compared with the blank group, the model group showed increased relative mRNA expression of p38 MAPK and JNK in the thighbone (P<0.01), while compared with the model group, all the groups with drug intervention showed decreased relative mRNA expression of p38 MAPK and JNK in the thighbone (P<0.01). ConclusionJingangwan can inhibit the formation of osteoblasts,reduce the diameter of the bone marrow cavity,improve bone quality,suppress the production of inflammatory factors,affect the metabolism of the MAPK signaling pathway,and blunt p38 MAPK and JNK activities to inhibit the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts and regulate bone metabolism, thereby preventing osteoporosis. Therefore,Jingangwan may be of application value in maintaining bone health and treating osteoporosis.

Objectives:To explore health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and identify its associated variables in Chinese patients with Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) .Methods:In this cross-sectional study, anonymous questionnaires were distributed to adult patients with MPNs to assess symptom burden measured by MPN-10 and HRQoL measured by Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) .Results:The data from 1405 respondents with MPNs, including 645 (45.9%) with essential thrombocythemia (ET) , 297 (21.1%) with polycythemia vera (PV) , and 463 (33.0%) with myelofibrosis (MF) , were analyzed. 646 (46.0%) respondents were male. The median age was 56 (range, 18-99) years. The mean MPN-10 scores were 13.0±12.7, 15.0±14.7, and 21.0±16.6 ( P<0.001) , and the physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores were 48.0±8.5, 47.0±9.0, and 42.0±10.0 ( P<0.001) and 51.0±11.0, 50.0±10.8, and 49.0±11.1 ( P=0.002) for respondents with ET, PV, and MF, respectively. Respondents with MF reported the lowest score of physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, social function, and global health status (all P<0.01) and the highest score of fatigue, pain, dyspnea, appetite loss, diarrhea, and financial problems (all P<0.05) in EORTC QLQ-C30. Multivariate analyses revealed that higher MPN-10 scores were significantly associated with lower PCS (-0.220 to -0.277, P<0.001) and MCS (-0.244 to -0.329, P<0.001) scores; increasing age (-1.923 to -4.869; all P<0.05) , lower PCS score. Additionally, comorbidity (ies) , symptom at diagnosis, splenomegaly, anemia, unknown driver gene, and higher annual out-of-pocket cost were significantly associated with lower PCS and/or MCS scores. However, age ≥ 60 years, urban household registration, concomitant medication, and receiving ruxolitinib therapy in respondents with MF were associated with higher MCS scores. Weak correlations were found between MPN-10 score (except the subscale of appetite loss and constipation) and EORTC QLQ-C30 score in majority of subscales in respondents with ET (| r| = 0.193-0.457, all P<0.001) , PV (| r| = 0.192-0.529, all P<0.01) , and MF (| r| = 0.180-0.488, all P<0.001) , respectively. Conclusions:HRQoL in patients with MPN was significantly reduced, especially in patients with MF. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were significantly associated with the HRQoL in patients with MPNs.

Objective To investigate the effects of baicalin on the apoptosis and cell migration of intestinal epithelial cells 6 (IEC-6) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) . Methods LPS was adopted to establish LPS-induced cells injury model. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) assay and Elisa kits were used to evaluate the effect of LPS on the tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) and interleukin 6 ( IL-6) concentrations of IEC-6. Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the effect of baicalin ( in the dosage of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 μg/mL ) on the cell apoptosis. Cell migration was observed and calculated on a wounding model of IEC-6 cells induced by a pipette tip. Results Compared with the control group, the survival rate of IEC-6 in 1.0 μg·mL-1 LPS group was much lowered, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations were significantly increased, the apoptotic rate of IEC-6 was increased and the cell migration activity was significantly decreased ( P<0.05) . Compared with the model group, IEC-6 apoptosis was relieved to various degrees in baicalin groups, the apoptotic rate of IEC-6 was obviously decreased (P<0.05) and cell migration activity was increased significantly (P<0.01) in 10.0 μg·mL-1 baicalin group. Conclusion Baicalin has the capacity of protecting IEC-6 from LPS-induced injury and increasing cell migration activity.

OBJECTIVETo explore the inhibition of Jumi (traditional Chinese medicine) extraction on the growth of human cervical cancer cell line HeLa.
METHODSNude mouse model of human cervical cancer HeLa cell transplantation was established. The nude mice bearing cancer were randomly divided into control group and Jumi treated groups with different concentration (0.001, 0.002, 0.005, 0.01 mg/ml). The growth of cervical cancer cell in experimental mice were measured. Cultured HeLa cells were incubated in culture media with or without Jumi extract for 48 hours. Cell proliferation rate, cell apoptosis, caspase-3/7 and caspase-6 activity were determined by MTT colorimetric assay, flow cytometry analysis and spectrophotometric detection, respectively.
RESULTSWith the increase of the concentration of Jumi extract, tumor-bearing mice tumor inhibition rate gradually increased. The proliferation of cultured HeLa cells were significantly inhibited by Jumi extract in a dose-dependent manner. IC50 was 0.004 mg/ml. Apoptosis rates in the cells treated with Jumi extract were higher than those of the control group. Compared with the control group, except for lower Jumi treated group (0.001 mg/ml), caspase-3/7 and caspase-6 activity were significantly increased in the all Jumi treated groups.
CONCLUSIONJumi extract can inhibit the proliferation of human cervical cancer cell line HeLa in vitro in a dose-dependent manner and promote cell apoptosis through caspase-3, caspase-7 and caspase-6 pathway.
