ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze relationship between 13q14 deletion and prognosis in initial-treatment patients with multiple myeloma (MM).Methods:The follow-up data of 121 patients with newly diagnosed MM admitted to the First People's Hospital of Xiangtan City from January 2012 to December 2016 were collected and divided into deletion group ( n=39) and non deletion group ( n=82) according to the deletion of 13q14.The prognosis situations were compared among patients with different 13q14 deletion. Univariate analysis was performed for 3-year overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in patients with MM. Results:As of the follow-up time, the 3-year OS rate, 3-year OS, 3-year PFS rate, 3-year PFS and median PFS were 71.90%(87/121), 5.8-36 months, 47.93%(58/121), 2.3-36 months and 34.8 months, respectively. The age, hypoproteinemia, high lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and 13q14 deletion were independent influencing factors of OS ( P<0.05). The age, high LDH and 13q14 deletion were independent influencing factors of PFS ( P<0.05). The 3-year OS rate and 3-year PFS rate in 13q14 deletion group were 61.54%(24/39) and 25.64%(10/39), lower than those in non-deletion group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The short-term prognosis is poor in initial-treatment MM patients with 13q14 deletion. Conducting risk stratified treatment for patients based on common influencing factors of OS and PFS is conducive to improving their prognosis.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Restenosis and lumina loss limit further application of balloon extension and stent implantation.Effect of tunica intima proliferation and apoptosis in restenosis and the intervention method are exploring.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of Rosuvastatin on the vascular smooth muscle cells proliferation and apoptosis in rats with carotid artery injury established by Medtronic balloon.METHODS:The male SD rats were randomly and equally divided into injury group and treatment group.Each rat was subjected to balloon injury on the lift common carotid artery,and control artery without balloon injury on the right artery served as control group.Treatment group rats were given Rosuvastatin(dissolved in Nacl)5 mg/kg per day 3 days before injury,while the injury group rats were given 9 g/L NaCl.At 7 and 14 days after injury,the common carotid arteries were harvested for HE staining.SM α-actin and proliferating celI nuclear antigen were detected by immunohistochemistry.In addition,smooth muscle cells apoptosis was detected by TUNEL.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The neointimal area and the area ratio of neointimal/media were decreased in treatment grouP significantly at 14 days compared with injury group(P<0.05),and neointimal area increased by 26%:positive cell rate of proliferating cell nuclear antigen was decreased,but apoptosis cells were increased cornpared with the injury group(P<0.05).Results showed that Rosuvastatin prior to balloon injury inhibited neointimal proliferation and neointimal celI proliferation following balloon Injury,promoted smooth muscle cells apoptosis,ultimately reducing neointimaI formation and inhibiting restenosis.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Inflammation plays an important role in vessel proliferation after balloon injury. Reducing inflammatory reaction may lighten the ocurrence and development of the restenosis after angioplasty. Studies have demonstrated that PPAR_Y excitomotor has inhibitory effects on inflammation development. OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes in inflammatory factors after carotid artery balloon injury in rats and the intervention of PPARy excitomotor rosiglitazone. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The randomized, controlled animal experiment was performed at the Central Laboratory of Shenzhen People's Hospital from January to June 2009. MATERIALS: Male SPF SD rats weighing about 350 g were selected to generate models of carotid balloon injury. METHODS: SD rats were equally and randomly divided into 3 groups: the control group, the balloon injury group and the rosiglitazone group. The left common carotid arteries were injured by balloon in the balloon injury group and the rosiglitazone group. The control group received sham operation. The rosiglitazone group was administered rosiglitazone daily by gavage,which began 4 days before operation and continued until harvesting.Accordingly,the control group and the balloon injury group were administered normal saline daily by gavage. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: All rats were executed under anesthesia at 14 days after operation, respectively to harvest left common carotid artery samples. The vessels were stained by hematoxylin-eosin, and Neointimal area (NIA) and media area (MA) as well as NIA/MA were calculated. Real time RT-PCR and Western Blot method were used to assay the expression of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-17A mRNA and the distribution of nuclear factor (NF)-kB protein. expression levels of IL-6 and IL-17A mRNA in the rosiglitazone group were significantly lower than the balloon injury group, but higher than the Control group( P < 0.05), The expression levels of IL-10 mRNA in the rosiglitazone group were higher than the the rosiglitazone group was down-regulated, and lower than the balloon injury group, but higher than control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Rosiglitazone can regulate the expression of II-6 IL-10 IL-17A mRNA and the balance of inflammatory factors via NF-kB,inhibit the inflammatory reaction of injured vessels and may contribute to lighten the restenosis of injured vessels.

ABSTRACT
According to the training objectives of higher vocational education of pharmacy and the requirements of employment knowledge and capability, the curriculum system can be divided into modular curriculum systems which correspond with the job posts. Additionally, a set of simulating practical curriculum systems with distinct characteristics should be established in line with the job posts. By means of the reform of curriculum systems and the overall optimizing of teaching contents, the overlapping and duplication in the existing curricula can be reduced and the teaching effects can be improved.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the expression of the small heat shock protein (HSP27) in the optic chiasma (OC), optic tract (OT), dorsal lateral geniculate body(LG) and superior colliculus (SC) of the adult golden hamster after intraorbital transection of the left optic nerve (ON). Methods The experimental animals were left to survive for l, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 weeks following ON transection. The animals were perfused with formol-saline and brains were excised, sectioned and stained with the immunohistochemistry. The sections were observed under the light microscope, the optical density (A) was measured and the data were analysed statistically. Results Immunohistochemical results indicated that the HSP27-expressions were not different between the right and left side of the OC, OT, LG and SC in normal or sham-operation controls. However, following transection of the left ON, HSP27 immunohistochemical stainings in the right site of OC, OT,LG and SC were increased, comparing with the left side. The maximum difference of HSP27 immunostaining between the right and left side appeared in the lst week following left ON axotomy. The sharply decrease of the A difference occurred at the 2nd week after axotomy with insignificant changes in the subsequent several weeks. And the significant A difference was observed in most time except 6th week. Most of HSP27-positive cells had morphological appearances similar to astrocytes with smaller cell body and numerous processes. Conclusion After the transection of monolateral ON, HSP27 expressions in the contralateral optic pathway of brain increased and persisted up to 8 weeks. This result suggested that the increase of HSP27 expression had something to do with the injury of the optic pathway, but the mechanism and biological significance of the increase in HSP27 expression level required to be studied further.;
