Abstract
Background Pomalidomide in combination with dexamethasone has demonstrated positive results in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM), but no data are available in China. We conducted a multicenter, single-arm trial to examine the efficacy and safety of bioequivalent generic pomalidomide plus low-dose dexamethasone in Chinese RRMM patients. Methods Adult (≥ 18 years of age) RRMM patients who progressed after at least two previous treatments, including bortezomib and lenalidomide, were eligible. Pomalidomide was given orally at 4 mg/day on days 1 to 21 of a 28-day cycle. Dexamethasone was given at 40 mg/day (either orally or intravenously; 20 mg/day at 75 years or older) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle. Treatment continued until disease progression or intolerable adverse events (AEs). The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR). Results Seventy-four patients were enrolled between February 2017 and February 2019. All patients had progressed within 60 days of their last therapy. 74.3% of the patients were resistant to lenalidomide, 31.1% had renal insufficiency and 33.8% had high-risk cytogenetic RRMM. The median follow-up duration was 33.0 months (range 31.1–34.8 months). The ORR was 37.8% in the overall analysis, 32.7% in lenalidomide-refractory patients, 36.0% in patients with high-risk cytogenetics and 34.8% in RRMM patients with renal impairment. The median progression-free survival was 5.7 months (95% CI 3.7–8.8 months). The median overall survival was 24.3 months (95% CI 14.4–41.1 months). The most common grade 3 and 4 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were neutropenia (63.5%), leukopenia (37.8%), thrombocytopenia (28.4%), and anemia (31.1%). Pulmonary infection (27.0%) was the most frequent grade 3 and 4 nonhematologic TEAE. No previously unreported AEs were observed. No venous thromboembolism was reported. Conclusions Pomalidomide in combination with low-dose dexamethasone is effective and safe in Chinese RRMM patients. Trial registration The study is registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) (ChiCTR-OIC-17013234, first registered on 03/11/2017). Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12885-022-09802-y.

Abstract
We previously reported a serendipitous finding from a patient with refractory severe aplastic anemia who had gotten an unexpected hematological response to treatment with gut-cleansing preparations (GCPs). This patient experienced three recurrences over the ensuing one year of intermittent GCP treatments, with each recurrence occurring 7-8 wk from a GCP. After his third recurrence, he was prescribed successive treatment with rifampicin, berberine, and monthly administered GCP for 4 mo, and he developed an erythroid proliferative neoplasma and an overwhelming enteropathy, and eventually died of septic shock. Laboratory investigations had validated the resolution of myelosuppression and the appearance of malignant clonal hematopoiesis. From the treatment process and laboratory investigations, it is reasonably inferred that the engagement of gut inflammation is critically required in sustaining the overall pathophysiology of acquired aplastic anemia probably by creating a chronic inflammatory state. Incorporation of rifampicin, berberine, and monthly GCP into cyclosporine can enhance the immunosuppressive effect. In a subgroup of acquired aplastic anemia patients whose pathogenesis is associated with genotoxic exposure, the suppressed normal hematopoiesis may result from the bystander insult that is mediated by the soluble inflammatory cytokines generated in response to the immunogenic products of damaged hematopoietic cells in the context of chronic inflammatory state and may offer a protective antineoplastic mechanism against malignant proliferation.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the generic azacitidine in Chinese patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS). Methods: Between October 2013 and 2016, 72 patients were eligible for enrollment at 9 sites from China received generic subcutaneous azacitidine 75 mg·m(-2)·d(-1) for 7 days per 28-day cycle, for ≥6 cycles. Pharmacokinetic blood samples were collected on day 1 of a single-dose. Results: For each patient at cycle 6 or at the time of study discontinuation, whichever came first, the overall response rate, which included complete remission (CR)and partial remission(PR), was 6.9%(5/72), the rate of patients who had the best effect with CR or PR during the treatment was 12.5%(9/72). Patients who were dependent on red-blood-cell transfusions and platelet transfusions at baseline became transfusion independent were 46.3%(19/41)and 41.2% (7/17), respectively. The median time of treatment was 6 cycles, and the median OS was 16.1 months (95%CI 10.9-20.6 months). For 36 patients(50%)received treatment at ≥6 cycles, and the median OS was 22.3 months(95%CI 16.1- not evaluative). Most common grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ hematologic treatment-emergent adverse events were neutropenia(55%), leukopenia(47%), and thrombocytopenia(61%). Pharmacokinetic profiles were similar for generic and original azacitidine in Chinese patients. Conclusion: Generic azacitidine treatment was favorable and safe and can be used as a standard treatment for patients with higher-risk MDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe hyperlipemia (SHLE) has an impact on the results of many kinds of laboratory tests. Complete blood count (CBC) examination by automated blood cell counter (ABCC) is a quick and convenient measurement for screening abnormalities of blood cells that are triggered by various pathogenic insults in disease diagnosis and for monitoring changes in the treatment of existing hematological conditions. However, CBC results are frequently affected by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors from blood samples, such as in the setting of hypergammaglobulinemia and certain anticoagulants. SHLE could also affect CBC results.
CASE SUMMARY A 33-year-old Chinese male presented with painful foot numbness and abdominal pain. He was initially misdiagnosed as having a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) because of the marked abnormalities in CBC examination by the ABCC. Morphological evaluation of the bone marrow smears and biopsy showed no evidence of MPN. Gene mutations in Breakpoint cluster regions-Abelson murine leukemia viral oncogene homologue 1 (BCR-ABL1), Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), calreticulin (CALR), myeloproliferative leukemia virus (MPL), and colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) were negative. Having noticed the thick chylomicron layer on blood samples and the dramatically fluctuating CBC results, we speculated that the fat droplets formed by shaking the blood samples in the setting of SHLE were mistakenly identified as blood cells due to the limited parameters of ABCC. Therefore, we removed a large part of the chylomicron layer and then reexamined the CBC, and the CBC results, as we expected, differed significantly from that of the sample before the chylomicron layer was removed. These significant differences had been validated by the subsequently repeated laboratory tests by measuring dual blood samples that the chylomicron layer was removed in one sample and was not in another, and comparing the CBC results. Computerized tomography reexamination of the upper abdomen revealed an exudative lesion surrounding his pancreas. After intensive consultation, definitive diagnosis was made as recurrent pancreatitis, hyperlipemia and pseudoerythrocytosis.
CONCLUSION SHLE may become a potential cause of misdiagnosis of hyperlipemia-related diseases as MPNs and the resultant mistreatment. It may also lead to the misinterpretation of transfusion indications in patients with hematological disorders who critically need blood transfusion for supportive treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cumulative evidence suggests that the aberrant immune responses in acquired aplastic anemia (AA) are sustained by active chronic infections in genetically susceptible individuals. Recently, the constant source to trigger and sustain the pathophysiology has been proposed to come from the altered gut microbiota and chronic intestinal inflammation. In this case, our serendipitous finding provides convincing evidence that the persistently dysregulated autoimmunity may be generated, at least in a significant proposition of AA patients, by the altered gut microbiota and compromised intestinal epithelium.
CASE SUMMARY A 30-year-old Chinese male patient with refractory severe AA experienced a 3-month-long febrile episode, and his fever was refractory to many kinds of injected broad-spectrum antibiotics. When presenting with abdominal cramps, he was prescribed oral mannitol and gentamycin to get rid of the gut infection. This treatment resulted in a quick resolution of the fever. Unanticipatedly, it also produced an excellent hematological response. He had undergone three episodes of recurrence within the one-year treatment, with each recurrence occurring 7-8 wk from the gastrointestinal inflammation eliminating preparations. However, subsequent treatments were able to produce subsequent remissions and consecutive treatments were successful in achieving durative hematological improvements, strongly indicating an etiological association between chronic gut inflammation and the development of AA. Interestingly, comorbid diseases superimposed on this patient (namely, psychiatric disorders, hypertension, insulin resistance, and renal dysfunction) were ameliorated together with the hematological improvements.
CONCLUSION Chronic gut inflammation may be responsible for AA pathogenesis. The comorbidities and AA may share a common etiological association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical efficacy of decitabine for treatment of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and factors predicting the prognosis. METHODS The clinical data of 87 patients with MDS treated with decitabine were analyzed retrospectively. The hENT1 mRNA expression and TP53 gene mutation were detected by Q-PCR and gene target sequencing, respectively. The relationship of clinical characteristics and molecular indicators with the clinical response to decitabine was analyzed. RESULTS In treatment for median 4 (2-17) courses, a total 51 patients (58.6%) showed therapeutic responses, including CR in 17 cases, PR in 12 cases, mCR in 9 cases, HI in 13 cases; 36 (41.4%) patients showed non-response. Univariate analysis showed that the patients with the complex karyotype, monosomal karyotype, chomosome 7 abnormality and Plt count doubling after 1 course treatment had a high CR rate, while the patients with relative high risk by IPSS (intermediate risk 2+ high risk), complex karyotype and Plt count doubling after 1 course had much more high overall remission rate (ORR). The expression level of hENT1 mRNA in MDS patients with response was significantly higher than that in patients without response [(1.78±1.45 (2-△△Ct) vs 0.96±0.97 (2-△△Ct)(P= 0.002)]. Among 51 patients with therapeutic response, the expression level of hENT1 mRNA in CR group was higher than that in non-CR group [(2.58±1.44 (2-△△Ct) vs 1.39 ±1.3 (2-△△Ct), P= 0.005)]. Among 52 patients in relative high risk (intermediate risk 2 +high risk), the median OS time of patients with high hENT1 mRNA expression was significantly longer than that of patients with low hENT1 mRNA expression (31 vs 12 months)(P<0.001). Among 87 patients received decitabine treatment, the TP53 gene mutation occured in 11 (12.6%) patients. The ORR in patients with TP53 mutation was high (P=0.04), moreover the patients with TP53 mutation more easily gained CR (P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression model showed that the complex karyotype, Plt count doubling after 1 course treatment, TP53 mulation and high expression of hENT1 mRNA were the independent prognostic factors for predicting the CR after decitabine treatment. CONCLUSION IPSS staging, complex karyotype, Plt count doubling after 1 course treatment and hENT1 mRNA expression, TP53 gene mutation can be used to predict the tharapeutic efficacy of dectitabine for treatment of MDS.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the practicability of occipital tangent angle in assisting posterior occipital condylar screw placement and to verify the safety and accuracy of self-made screw placement device for auxiliary screw. Methods: Occipito-cervical region specimens of 12 adult corpses were selected and scanned by thin-cut CT examination.The three-dimensional reconstruction of occipital and atlas was simulated for each specimen, and 3-matic software was used to measure the setting parameters, including occipital tangent angle, head obliquity, internal inclination angle, length of the screw and the distance from the inferior margin of hypoglossal canal to the screw axis.Using the self-designed occipital condylar screw placement device, combined with occipital tangent angle, internal inclination angle and insertion point, the posterior occipital condylar screw specimen was inserted with nails with assisting tool.The occipito-cervical region was reconstructed and scanned by thin-cut CT examination again after the operation to measuring the parameters of screw placement after actual screwing.The paired t test was used to compare the parameters of screw placement before and after operation. Results: Pre-operative three dimensional reconstruction of occipital condyle screw showed that the head obliquity was 5.3°±0.9°, the tangent angle was 14.9°±3.7°, the internal inclination angle was 28.1°±5.9°, and the length of screw insertion was (21.4±1.7) mm respectively; the distance from the inferior margin of hypoglossal canal to the screw axis was (4.74±0.36) mm.There was no significant difference in the parameters of analogue nailing between the left and right occipital condyles before the operation (t=-1.32, -0.48, 0.10, 0.23, 0.09, all P>0.05). The occipital condylar screw was safely implanted with screw placement device.The screw was located in the ideal nail insertion channel after operation by CT scan evaluation, without any injury to the hypoglossal canal, the atlanto-occipital articular surface and other structure.After the operation, the actual nailing parameters were measured: the head inclination angle was 5.2°±0.7°, the tangent angle was 15.1°±3.2°, the internal inclination angle was 28.2°±4.2°, the length of screw insertion was (21.5±1.7) mm, the distance from the inferior margin of hypoglossal canal to the screw axis was (4.54±0.29) mm.There was no significant difference between the left and right side in the actual screw placement parameters (t=-0.77, 0.82, 0.56, 0.22, 0.21, all P>0.05). It was found that there was no significant differences in the head obliquity, the occipital tangent angle, the internal inclination angle, length of screw entry, and the distance from the inferior margin of hypoglossal canal to the screw axis before and after the operation (t=0.56, -0.47, -0.18, -0.70, 1.89, all P>0.05). Conclusion: The occipital tangent angle can be measured directly in the process of posterior occipital condyle screw insertion to guide occipital condylar screw insertion, and the self-made occipital condylar screw placement device can effectively combine the three parameters: occipital tangent angle, head inclination angle and insertion point, which can improve the safety of posterior occipital condylar screw insertion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate HOXB4, PRDM16 and HOXA9 gene expression in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and its clinical significance. METHODS Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) with SYBR Green assay was used to detect the expression of HOXB4, PRDM16 and HOXA9 gene in AML patients (40 cases), the patients with complete remission (9 cases) and patients with non-malignant hematologic diseases as control (10 cases). The relationship between the expression levels of gene HOXB4, PRDM16, HOXA9 and clinical features was investigated by statistical analysis. RESULTS The gene expression levels of HOXB4, PRDM16, HOXA9 in newly diagnosed or relapsed AML patients were significantly higher than those in patients with non-malignant hematologic disease (P < 0.05). It was observed that the expression of HOXB4 gene in newly diagnosed or relapsed patients positively correlates with leukemic blasts in bone marrow (r = 0.39). The expression levels of HOXB4, PRDM16 and HOXA9 positively correlate with each other. There was statistical significance among gene expressions in different phases (newly diagnosed, relapse, remission). No correlation was observed between expression levels of HOXB4, PRDM16, HOXA9 and chromosome risk status. It was noticed that expression levels of HOXB4, PRDM16, HOXA9 genes were lower in the patients achieved remission after two courses of chemotherapy than those in the other. And high expression group of each gene had a lower remission rate than that in the low expression group. CONCLUSION The expression level of HOXB4, PRDM16, HOXA9 genes and leukemic blasts somewhat correlate with curative effect and prognosis. The expression of HOXB4, PRDM16, HOXA9 genes is higher in newly diagnosed and relapsed leukemia patients, and lower in the patients acquired CR/PR. High expression of HOXB4, PRDM16, HOXA9 genes predicts an adverse prognosis.

Abstract
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), also known as Asherman's syndrome, is a common disease for among women. The extent of adhesion and pre-surgery hormone therapy greatly affects the function of uterine cavity. This current study investigates the association of different doses of estrogen before transcervical resection of adhesions (TCRA) surgery and clinical outcome in serious IUA. About 120 newly diagnostic serious IUA patients who underwent TCRA were randomly divided into three study groups: Estradiol valerate (progynova) 3 or 9 mg per diet before surgery and the control group. Follow-up hysteroscopy checkups were taken in 1- and 3-month post-operation. The effective power of 9 mg group was significantly higher than other groups. The 9 mg group achieved the best menstrual recovery rate in all study groups compared with the other two groups in 6 months post-operatively (p < 0.05). Our results confirmed estradiol valerateas an alternative effective drug for the prevention of IUAs before and after hysteroscopic surgery.

Abstract
It is necessary to completely eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD) to cure acute leukemia. Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) have been shown to be effective to eliminate MRD. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect of anti-CD10 MAb conjugated to muramyl dipeptide immunoconjugate (MDP-Ab) on the function of lymphocytes and activated lymphocytes using leukemia xenografts in nude mice as a model. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and induced into dendritic cells (DCs) and lymphocytes. Cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes was detected by LDH release assay. Leukemia xenografts in nude mice were established to assess tumor growth. We found that the killing rate was significantly higher in MDP-Ab group, LPS group and MDP-Ab+LPS group than in control group, and was the highest in MDP-Ab+LPS group. Tumor-bearing mice in MDP-Ab group showed obvious coagulation necrosis. In conclusion, our data suggest that MDP-Ab could effectively prime DCs to improve the anti-tumor immunity of T lymphocytes and inhibit the tumor growth. MDP-Ab may be used as suitable candidate for eliminating residual leukemia cells to prevent relapse.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in microRNA (miR) genes and their target sites are a distinct classification of variation in the human genome, which are rapidly being identified and investigated in human cancer. A polymorphism in the miR-196a-2 locus has demonstrated significant associations with various types of cancer, including lung, breast, esophageal and gastric tumors. However, miR-196a-2 has not been fully explored in ovarian cancer, which shares similar biological characteristics with other types of cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the mature sequence of miR-196a-2 (rs11614913, T/C) and the clinical features of 479 Chinese patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In addition, the biological significance of this polymorphism was investigated in the OVCAR3 ovarian cancer cell line. Risk association was evaluated in 479 cases of EOC patients and 431 controls. SNPs were analyzed by using polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. miR-196a expression was evaluated with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The influence of miR-196a-2 rs11614913 T/C on EOC cell migration and invasion ability was further investigated in vitro. The results revealed significant differences in the homozygous CC genotype distribution in patients with EOC (n=479), compared with that of the control subjects (n=431; P=0.026). Analysis of the association between genotype and the risk of EOC revealed that individuals who carried the homozygous CC genotype were 1.34-fold more susceptible to EOC, compared with those carrying the wild-type TT and heterozygous CT genotypes [odds ratio, 1.34; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-2.17; P=0.023]. In addition, the role of this polymorphism in the production of mature miR-196a was investigated. Significantly enhanced production of mature miR-196a was revealed in the C-allelic compared with that of the T-allelic miR-196a-2 precursor (P<0.05). Further examination indicated that miR-196a significantly promoted cell migration and invasion ability in the human OVCAR3 ovarian cell line (P<0.05). In conclusion, the results indicated that the miR-196a-2 rs11614913 CC genotype may increase the risks of ovarian cancer by affecting the expression of mature miR-196a and enhancing cell migration/invasion. The current results provided evidence that the T>C polymorphism in the miR-196a-2 precursor may influence tumorigenesis and metastasis in EOC, and suggested that the functional SNP rs11614913 in the promoter region of pri-miR-196a-2 may be a potential indicator of EOC susceptibility in the population analyzed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate efficacy and safety of second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) dasatinib, nilotinib and imatinib in treatment of newly diagnosed patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). METHODS The clinical data and follow-up results of 163 patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid lenkemia(CP-CML) who were treated in our hospital during the nearly 3 years were analysed retrospectively, among 163 patients 47 received dasatinib, 43 received nilotinib and 73 received imatinib. The efficacy, disease progression and safety were evaluated. RESULTS After treatment for 3 months, the rate of complete hematologic response(CHR) in three treatment groups were 77%, 79% and 67%, respectivily, CHR at 12 months in three treatment groups were 92%, 91% and 90%, respectively. By 3 months, the rates of complete cytogenetic response(CCyR) with dasatinib and nilotinib were higher than that with imatinib (55%, 53% vs 33%)(P<0.05 for both comparisons), CCyR at 12 months in three treatment groups were 86%, 88% vs 69% (P<0.05 for both comparisons). The rates of major molecular response(MMR) for dasatinib (11%) and nilotinib (9%) by 3 months were significantly higher than that for imatinib (1%) (P<0.05 for both comparisons), MMR at 12 months in three treatment groups were 49%, 50% and 28%, respectively (P<0.05 for both comparison). Progression to the accelerated or blast phase of CML occurred in 2 (4%) patients received dasatinib, 2 (5%) received nilotinib and 6 (8%) received imatinib. The safety profiles of these 3 second-generation TKI treatments were similar. CONCLUSION Both dasatinib and nilotinib induced strikingly higher and faster rates of complete cytogenetic response and major molecular response, with a statistically significant difference from imatinib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of patients with refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is challenging, as there is no standard treatment option. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) in combination with cyclosporin A (CsA) for the management of patients with corticosteroid-resistant primary ITP. METHODS Thirty-six patients with corticosteroid-resistant ITP were randomly divided into an observation group and control group. In the observation group, 19 patients received subcutaneous injection of rhTPO at a dose of 1 µg/kg (300 U/kg) once daily up to day 14. Simultaneously they also received oral CsA at a dose of 1.5-2.0 mg/kg twice daily for three months. In the control group, rhTPO alone was administered subcutaneously at 1 µg/kg once daily in the other 17 ITP patients for 14 consecutive days and then the treatment was withdrawn. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the response rate at the end of the first week after treatment initiation between the observation group and the control group (63.2% vs. 58.8%, P > 0.05), neither was there at the end of the second week (89.5% vs. 94.1%, P > 0.05). However, the relapse rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in control group at the end of the first (17.7% vs. 50.0%, P < 0.05), second (29.4% vs. 68.8%, P < 0.05) and the third month (29.4% vs. 87.5%, P < 0.01). In addition, rhTPO plus CsA were well tolerated and adverse events recorded were mild. CONCLUSIONS Combination therapy with rhTPO and CsA was effective in the management of patients with corticosteroidresistant ITP, with a relatively short time to response and low recurrence rate. It might be considered as a potential secondline treatment regimen for ITP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chromosomal abnormalities have been shown to play an important prognostic role in multiple myeloma (MM). Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (i-FISH) has been much more effective to identify cytogenetic aberrations in MM than conventional cytogenetic technique (CC). To clearly determine the cytogenetic features of Chinese MM patients and identify their prognostic implications, we designed a multicenter study based on i-FISH including 672 patients from 52 hospitals in China. METHODS All 672 patients were systematically screened for the following genomic aberrations: del(13q), IgH rearrangement, del(p53) and 1q21 amplifications. RESULTS The analysis showed that the chromosomal changes were detected in 22.1% patients by CC and in 82.3% patients by i-FISH. The most common abnormalities by CC were chromosome 1 aberrations (48.4%), -13/13q- (37.6%), hyperdiploidy (36.6%), hypodiploidy (30.1%) and IgH rearrangements (23.7%). The most frequent abnormalities by FISH was del(13q), which was found in 60.4% patients, whereas IgH rearrangement, 1q21 amplification and p53 deletions were detected in 57.6%, 49.0% and 34.7% cases, respectively. By statistical analysis, -13/13q- by CC was associated with low level of platelet (P = 0.015), hyperdiploidy was associated with low level of serum albumin (P = 0.028), and IgH rearrangement by FISH was associated with high level of β2 microglobulin (P = 0.019). Moreover, 1q21 amplification and del(p53) by FISH conferred a high incidence of progressive disease (PD) after initial therapy. Metaphase detection of IgH rearrangements and chromosome 1 aberrations concurrently was associated with a short progression free survival (PFS) (P = 0.036). No significant prognostic implications of other cytogenetic abnormalities were found associated with overall survival and PFS. CONCLUSIONS Chinese MM patients had similar cytogenetic abnormalities compared with the previous reported studies. However, the prognostic significance of FISH aberrations were not clearly determined and further study is required.

Abstract
To study the serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), serum from 43 MDS patients was examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that serum levels of VEGF, bFGF in MDS patients were significantly elevated compared with normal control. Serum levels of VEGF and bFGF in RAEB patients and RAEBT patients were higher than that in RA patients and RAS patients (P < 0.05). No significant difference of serum levels of VEGF and bFGF was found between RAEBT patients and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. The serum levels of VEGF and bFGF were correlated with the affected peripheral blood cells and the proportion of blast cells in bone marrow. There was positive correlation between serum VEGF and bFGF levels. It is concluded that the secretion of VEGF and bFGF in MDS patients is elevated and the serum levels of VEGF and bFGF are related to the classification and prognosis in MDS.

Abstract
To study the expression of lung resistance protein (LRP) and multidrug resistance protein (MRP) genes in bone marrow cells in patients with acute leukemia and its clinical significance, expression of LRP and MRP mRNA in bone marrow cells from 47 cases of acute leukemia, including 10 refractory or relapsed cases, and 7 normal individuals were determined by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The result s showed that expression of LRP gene was negative in normal individuals. LRP mRNA level in newly treated cases of acute myelocytic leukemia and refractory or relapsed cases was significantly higher than that in normal individuals, increased LRP mRNA level has correlation with lower sensitivity to initial chemotherapy and was associated with reduced overall survival rate. Complete remission (CR) rate in LRP positive patients was lower than that in negative cases. The level of LRP expression was correlated with that of MRP mRNA. In conclusion, the expression of LRP mRNA can predict the treatment outcome and prognosis for acute myelocytic leukemia, prognosis was even worse in LRP and MRP linked expression cases, therefore, LRP was an important resistant factor, determination of LRP and MRP expression can help us to evaluate the prognosis and choose chemotherapy program.

Abstract
AIM To explore the effects of progesterone (PROG) on brain edema in rats. METHODS Forty eight rats were randomly divided into 6 groups that were ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and pretreatment, pre + posttreatment, posttreatment with PROG, and dexamethasone (DEXA) groups. The model of focal cerebral ischemia was established in rats by reversible inserting a nylon thread into the anterior cerebral artery. All rats were decapitated at 24 hours after the left middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) respectively, and then brain H2O, Na+, K+, Ca2+ contents were determined. RESULTS Compared with the result in DMSO group, the content of water (P < 0.01), Na+ (P < 0.01), Ca2+ (P < 0.01) was significantly reduced, but K+ (P < 0.01) was obviously elevated in ischemia cortex in pretreatment group or pre + posttreatment group with PROG. There was also significant reduction in water (P < 0.05) and Na+ (P < 0.01), but was not significantly changed in Ca2+ (P > 0.05) and K+ (P > 0.05) in posttreatment group with PROG. The changes occurring in DEXA group were similar to those found in pretreatment group or pre + posttreatment group with PROG. CONCLUSION Pretreatment or pretreatment plus posttreatment with progesterone can significantly reduce brain edema in I/R.

Abstract
Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis III B) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by deficiency of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase, one of the enzymes required for the lysosomal degradation of heparan sulfate. The gene for this enzyme, NAGLU, recently was isolated, and several mutations were characterized. We have identified, in amplified exons from nine fibroblast cell lines derived from Sanfilippo syndrome type B patients, 10 additional mutations: Y92H, P115S, Y140C, E153K, R203X, 650insC, 901delAA, P358L, A664V, and L682R. Four of these mutations were found in homozygosity, and only two were seen in more than one cell line. Thus, Sanfilippo syndrome type B shows extensive molecular heterogeneity. Stable transfection of Chinese hamster ovary cells, by cDNA mutagenized to correspond to the NAGLU missense mutations, did not yield active enzyme, demonstrating the deleterious nature of the mutations. Nine of the 10 amino acid substitutions identified to date are clustered near the amino or the carboxyl end of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase, suggesting a role for these regions in the transport or function of the enzyme.

Abstract
Sanfilippo syndrome type B, or mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB, results from defects in the gene for alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU); only a few mutations have been described. To rapidly identify most NAGLU mutations, an automated sequencing procedure was developed for analysis of the entire coding region, including exon-intron borders. By this method, eight affected families were studied, and the mutations in all 16 alleles were identified, more than doubling the number of published mutations for this gene. Eight mutations were described for the first time: five missense mutations (Y140C, Y455C, P521L, S612G, and R674C), two nonsense mutations (W675X and Q706X), and one 24-nucleotide insertion. Currently, 36% of all point mutations (8 of 22 alleles) involve R674, a codon having a CpG dinucleotide in the critical initial position. Other mutations were found in more than one family, raising the possibility that some may be relatively common and, possibly, ancient mutations. Six new nonpathological mutations were also identified and likely represent polymorphic variants of the NAGLU gene, two of which might alter enzyme level. Establishing genotype-phenotype relationships will be vital in the evaluation of experimental treatments such as gene therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the value of partial splenic embolization (PSE) for the treatment of hypersplenism in patients undergoing embolization of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization (THAE) combined with PSE was performed in 30 patients with HCC complicating liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and hypersplenism. Gelfoam sponge was used as the embolic material for PSE and limited to 100-150 pieces. RESULTS More than 50% of splenic parenchyma was infarcted in 27 patients. Leukopenia and thrombocytopenia were corrected by PSE in 25 of 27 patients with hypersplenism. In 26 patients with esophageal varices, including 5 patients with bleeding, no rebleeding occurred during a 6-17 month follow-up. Hypersplenism was not corrected in 2 of 3 patients whose infarcted splenic parenchyma was less than 50%. No splenic abscesses or other severe complications were observed. Of the 30 patients treated, 19 are still alive after 1 year. CONCLUSIONS THAE combined with PSE is a safe and effective measure for patients with HCC.

Abstract
The Sanfilippo syndrome type B is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase; it is characterized by profound mental deterioration in childhood and death in the second decade. For understanding the molecular genetics of the disease and for future development of DNA-based therapy, we have cloned the cDNA and gene encoding alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase. Cloning started with purification of the bovine enzyme and use of a conserved oligonucleotide sequence to probe a human cDNA library. The cDNA sequence was found to encode a protein of 743 amino acids, with a 20- to 23-aa signal peptide immediately preceding the amino terminus of the tissue enzyme and with six potential N-glycosylation sites. The 8.5-kb gene (NAGLU), interrupted by 5 introns, was localized to the 5'-flanking sequence of a known gene, EDH17B, on chromosome 17q21. Five mutations were identified in cells of patients with Sanfilippo syndrome type B: 503del10, R297X, R626X, R643H, and R674H. The occurrence of a frameshift and a nonsense mutation in homozygous form confirms the identity of the NAGLU gene.

Abstract
Electric parameters and solvent conditions are known to influence the efficiency of DNA transfection of cells by a pulsed electric field (PEF). A previous study (Neumann, E., M. Schaefer-Ridder, Y. Wang, and P. H. Hofschneider. 1982. EMBO (Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.) J. 1:841-845) has indicated that DNA topology is also an important determinant. We report an investigation of the PEF induced uptake, stability, and expression of three different topological isomers, circular supercoiled (scDNA), circular relaxed (crDNA), and linearized (lnDNA) forms of the plasmid pBR322, by Escherichia coli strain JM105. Monomeric pBR322 prepared by the electroelution from an agarose gel was in the supercoiled form. Treatment of the scDNA with wheat germ topoisomerase I removed the superhelicity and the DNA assumed the relaxed circular form. Treatment of scDNA by a restriction endonuclease, EcoRI or Hind III, linearized the DNA. The MgCl2-dependent bindings of all three forms of DNA to the cell surface were indistinguishable. So was the PEF induced cell uptake. In contrast, the transfection efficiency (TE) for the scDNA and the crDNA were high (approximately 2 x 10(8) micrograms-1 DNA at neutral pH), whereas that for the lnDNA was approximately five orders of magnitude lower (less than 1 x 10(3) micrograms-1 DNA). Analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis indicated that the PEF loaded ln DNA was degraded by the host cell within 3 h. However, the loaded scDNA and the crDNA were stable and expressed in the cytoplasm. We conclude that first, the PEF induced DNA entry into E. coli did not depend on the topology of the DNA. As cellular uptake of DNA also correlated with the surface binding, these data support electrophoresis of surface bound DNA as the dominating mechanism for the DNA entry. Second, the variations of TE for different topological forms of DNA reflected their relative stability in the host cells. Third, since the loaded DNA could be either rapidly degraded by the host enzyme or expressed, they were unlikely coated with a layer of protective lipid membrane. Thus, PEF induced cellular uptake of DNA is unlikely by the endocytotic mechanisms as was reported previously for the liposomes (Chernomordik, L. V., A. V. Sokolov, and V. G. Budker. 1990.Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1024:179-183).
