RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of Bushen Shengxue prescription and Yiqi Yangxue prescription in the treatment of chronic aplastic anemia and the effect on T cell subsets and the expression of T-box expressed in T cells （T-bet） and GATA binding protein 3 （GATA3）. MethodA total of 585 patients with chronic aplastic anemia who were treated in 19 hospitals in China from May 2018 to June 2021 were enrolled. With the prospective， double-blind and randomized control methods， the patients were randomized into three groups： kidney deficiency group， Qi and blood deficiency group， and control group. The three groups were respectively treated with Bushen Shengxue prescription granule， Yiqi Yangxue prescription granule， and Placebo （half the dose of Bushen Shengxue formula granules）. In addition， all of them were given oral cyclosporin and androgen. The treatment lasted 6 months， with 3 months as a course. The blood routine indexes， T cell subsets， and fusion genes T-bet and GATA3 before and after treatment were analyzed， and the safety indexes were monitored. ResultDuring the observation， a total of 75 cases dropped out and 18 were rejected. Finally， 161 cases in the kidney deficiency group， 164 in the Qi and blood deficiency group， and 167 in the control group were included. After 6 months of treatment， the total effective rate was 98.8% （159/161） in the kidney deficiency group， which was higher than the 79.9% （131/164） in the Qi and blood deficiency group （χ2=30.135， P<0.01） and the 61.7% （103/167） in the control group （χ2=70.126， P<0.01）. The total effective rate was higher in the Qi and blood deficiency group than in the control group （χ2=13.232， P<0.01）. After treatment， the hemoglobin （HGB） content increased significantly in three groups （P<0.05） as compared with that before treatment， particularly the kidney deficiency group （P<0.01）. After treatment， the white blood cell （WBC） count and platelet （PLT） count in the kidney deficiency group and the control group increased compared with those in the Qi and blood deficiency group （P<0.01）. There was no specific difference in neutrophils （ANC） after treatment among the three groups. At the same time point， the level of T helper type 1 （Th1） cells， Th1/Th2 ratio （P<0.05）， level of CD4+， and CD4+/CD8+ ratio （P<0.05） were significantly low in the kidney deficiency group among three groups. There was no significant difference in CD19-， HLA/DR+， and CD25+ between the kidney deficiency group and the other two groups， but the T-bet of the kidney deficiency group and the control group was lower than that of the Qi and blood deficiency group （P<0.05）. ConclusionBushen Shengxue prescription exerts therapeutic effect on the aplastic anemia by improving the immunoregulatory mechanism， inhibiting the activity of immune system， modulating T cell subsets， suppressing Th1 and CD4+， and promoting bone marrow hematopoiesis. Moreover， it is safe with little side effects， which is worthy of further promotion.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To observe the effect of miR-17-92 overexpression on the chemosensitivity of leukemia mice and the chemosensitivity of compound Zhebei granules.@*Methods@#The miR-17-92 over-expressed cells and L1210 cells were conventionally infused into each DBA/2N mouse through the vena caudalis at the cellular concentration of 100×104. The mice were divided into 5 groups with a randomized method, including miR-17-92 high expression L1210 cell leukemia mice (miR-17-92) observation group, miRNA-17-92 chemotherapy group, miRNA-17-92 chemotherapy combined with compound Zhebei granules group, L1210 chemotherapy group and normal control group. The chemotherapy groups were given cyclophosphamide by intraperitoneal injection, or chemotherapy combined with compound Zhebei granules group plus compound Zhebei. In the course of the experiment, the routine blood and white blood cell classification were checked every 7 days. The animals were killed on the 15th day or before dying. Peripheral blood routine and white blood cell classification were detected, the proportion of leukemia cells was checked by using bone marrow morphology. Furthermore, it was necessary to weigh the spleen and observe histopathological changes. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.@*Results@#The difference between hemoglobin and platelet count on the 15th day after administration was statistically significant in the miRNA-17-92 observation group, miRNA-17-92 chemotherapy group, miRNA-17-92 chemotherapy combined compound Zhebei group, L1210 chemotherapy group, and normal control group (F= 5.76, P= 0.002; F= 16.90, P= 0.002); Compared with the normal control group, peripheral blood leukocyte count in the miRNA-17-92 observation group was decreased (P < 0.05). The proportion of peripheral blood leukemic cells was (37.2±13.1)%, (5.7±1.9)%, (1.3±0.8)%, (0.8±0.3)%, 0, and the proportion of myeloid leukemia cells was (26.9±11.0)%, (6.8±2.0)%, (3.2±1.0)%, (1.7±1.2)%, 0, and the difference was statistically significant (F= 24.38, P= 0.000 0; F= 19.71, P= 0.000 0). The spleen weights were (0.70±0.18), (0.20±0.07), (0.44±0.17), (0.23±0.19), (0.60±0.18) g respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (F= 8.78, P= 0.032). Chemotherapy could reduce leukemia spleen infiltration. P-gp was (33±11), (27±11), (32±11), (20±11), (17±3) ng/ml, and the difference was statistically significant (F= 10.42, P= 0.034). Compound Zhebei granules did not significantly reduce P-gp expression.@*Conclusions@#The overexpression of miRNA-17-92 leads to the decrease of chemotherapy response rate. Compound Zhebei granules combined with chemotherapy could improve the response rate of miR-17-92 high expression L1210 mice.
RESUMEN
The hematopoietic microenvironment provides an important place for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) to self-renew, directional differentiation and maintain relative homeostasis, and it can regulate hematopoietic activity through various cellular components and factors. HSC is a primitive pluripotent stem cell in the blood system featured by the potential ability to self-renew for a long time and to differentiate into various mature blood cells, which exists in the bone marrow (BM). HSC plays an important role in regulating and maintaining the physiological balance of various cellular components of the blood system in the body, to ensure the continuous regeneration of the blood system. The hematopoietic microenvironment affects the development of HSC all the time, but the related cellular molecules and signals in the microenvironment still need to be studied in depth. This paper reviews the main components of the hematopoietic microenvironment, signaling pathways and the effects of abnormal changes on the diseases.

Objective To investigate the effects of Compound Zhe Bei granule (CZBG) combined with doxorubicin on the expression of GST and Topo - Ⅱ in K562/A02 cell line multidrug resistance tumor xenografts in mice. Methods Tumor xenografts model was established by injecting the multidrug resistance cell line K562/A02 in the axillary flank of BALB/c - nu - nu mice. Drug - comgbination of CZBG intragastric administration and doxorubicin intraperitoneal injection ( i. p. ) was given to the BALB/c - nu nude mice. The tumor xenografts were made into slice after the dissection, and the expression of GST and Topo - Ⅱ in K562/A02 tumor xenografts in mice was investigated by immunohistochemical technique. The integral optical density (IOD) of GST and Topo- lⅡ in K562/A02 tumor xenografts was measured by Image ProPlus 6.0. Results Compared with the single treatment of doxorubicin i. p group,the combination of the doxorubicin and CZBG with dosage classified by three types( high, middle, low) can decrease IOD of GSH and Topo - Ⅱ in K562/A02 tumor xenografts with statistical significance( P
