Abstract
INTRODUCTION Codonopsis Radix is a beneficial traditional Chinese medicine, and triterpenoid are the major bioactive constituents. Codonopsis pilosula var. modesta (Nannf.) L.T.Shen (CPM) is a precious variety of Codonopsis Radix, which is distributed at high mountain areas. The environment plays an important role in the synthesis and metabolism of active ingredients in medicinal plants, but there is no report elaborating on the effect of altitude on terpenoid metabolites accumulation in CPM. OBJECTIVES This study aims to analyse the effects of altitude on triterpenoid biosynthetic pathways and secondary metabolite accumulation in CPM. MATERIAL AND METHODS The untargeted metabolomics based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and 10 triterpenoids based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) method were analysed at the low-altitude (1480 m) and high-altitude (2300 m) CPM fresh roots. The transcriptome based on high-throughput sequencing technology were combined to analyse the different altitude CPM triterpenoid biosynthetic pathways. RESULTS A total of 17,351 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 55 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were detected from the different altitude CPM, and there are significant differences in the content of the 10 triterpenoids. The results of transcriptome study showed that CPM could significantly up-regulate the gene expression levels of seven key enzymes in the triterpenoid biosynthetic pathway. CONCLUSIONS The CPM at high altitude is more likely to accumulate triterpenes than those at low altitude, which was related to the up-regulation of the gene expression levels of seven key enzymes. These results expand our understanding of how altitude affects plant metabolite biosynthesis.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the gene mutation profile of newly diagnosed pediatric B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and analyze its effect on minimal residual disease (MRD). Methods: A total of 506 newly diagnosed B-ALL children treated in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from September 2018 to July 2021 were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. The enrolled children were divided into MRD ≥1.00% group and <1.00% group according to MRD results on the 19th day since chemotherapy, and MRD ≥0.01% group and <0.01% group according to MRD results on the 46th day. Clinical characteristics and gene mutations of two groups were compared. Comparisons between groups were performed with chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Independent risk factors of MRD results on the 19th day and the 46th day were analyzed by Logistic regression model. Results: Among all 506 patients, there were 318 males and 188 females. On the 19th day, there were 114 patients in the MRD ≥1.00% group and 392 patients in the MRD <1.00% group. On the 46th day, there were 76 patients in the MRD ≥0.01% group and 430 patients in the MRD <0.01% group. A total of 187 gene mutations were detected in 487 (96.2%) of 506 children. The most common gene mutations were signal transduction-related KRAS gene mutations in 111 cases (22.8%) and NRAS gene mutations in 99 cases (20.3%). Multivariate analysis showed that PTPN11 (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.00-3.63), KMT2A (OR=3.51, 95%CI 1.07-11.50) gene mutations and TEL-AML1 (OR=0.48, 95%CI 0.27-0.87), BCR-ABL1 (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.08-0.92) fusion genes and age >10 years (OR=1.91, 95%CI 1.12-3.24) were independent influencing factors for MRD ≥1.00% on the 19th day. BCORL1 (OR=2.96, 95%CI 1.18-7.44), JAK2 (OR=2.99, 95%CI 1.07-8.42) and JAK3 (OR=4.83, 95%CI 1.50-15.60) gene mutations and TEL-AML1 (OR=0.43, 95%CI 0.21-0.87) fusion gene were independent influencing factors for MRD ≥0.01% on the 46th day. Conclusions: Children with B-ALL are prone to genetic mutations, with abnormalities in the RAS signaling pathway being the most common. Signal transduction related PTPN11, JAK2 and JAK3 gene mutations, epigenetic related KMT2A gene mutation and transcription factor related BCORL1 gene mutation are independent risk factors for MRD.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the molecular features of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) . Methods: According to 2022 World Health Organization (WHO 2022) classification, 113 CMML patients and 840 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients from March 2016 to October 2021 were reclassified, and the clinical and molecular features of CMML patients were analyzed. Results: Among 113 CMML patients, 23 (20.4%) were re-diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including 18 AML with NPM1 mutation, 3 AML with KMT2A rearrangement, and 2 AML with MECOM rearrangement. The remaining 90 patients met the WHO 2022 CMML criteria. In addition, 19 of 840 (2.3%) MDS patients met the WHO 2022 CMML criteria. At least one gene mutation was detected in 99% of CMML patients, and the median number of mutations was 4. The genes with mutation frequency ≥ 10% were: ASXL1 (48%), NRAS (34%), RUNX1 (33%), TET2 (28%), U2AF1 (23%), SRSF2 (21.1%), SETBP1 (20%), KRAS (17%), CBL (15.6%) and DNMT3A (11%). Paired analysis showed that SRSF2 was frequently co-mutated with ASXL1 (OR=4.129, 95% CI 1.481-11.510, Q=0.007) and TET2 (OR=5.276, 95% CI 1.979-14.065, Q=0.001). SRSF2 and TET2 frequently occurred in elderly (≥60 years) patients with myeloproliferative CMML (MP-CMML). U2AF1 mutations were often mutually exclusive with TET2 (OR=0.174, 95% CI 0.038-0.791, Q=0.024), and were common in younger (<60 years) patients with myelodysplastic CMML (MD-CMML). Compared with patients with absolute monocyte count (AMoC) ≥1×10(9)/L and <1×10(9)/L, the former had a higher median age of onset (60 years old vs 47 years old, P<0.001), white blood cell count (15.9×10(9)/L vs 4.4×10(9)/L, P<0.001), proportion of monocytes (21.5% vs 15%, P=0.001), and hemoglobin level (86 g/L vs 74 g/L, P=0.014). TET2 mutations (P=0.021) and SRSF2 mutations (P=0.011) were more common in patients with AMoC≥1×10(9)/L, whereas U2AF1 mutations (P<0.001) were more common in patients with AMoC<1×10(9)/L. There was no significant difference in the frequency of other gene mutations between the two groups. Conclusion: According to WHO 2022 classification, nearly 20% of CMML patients had AMoC<1×10(9)/L at the time of diagnosis, and MD-CMML and MP-CMML had different molecular features.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of 11 cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with t (14;19) (q32;q13) . Methods: The case data of 11 patients with CLL with t (14;19) (q32;q13) in the chromosome karyotype analysis results of the Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 1, 2018, to July 30, 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Results: In all 11 patients, t (14;19) (q32;q13) involved IGH::BCL3 gene rearrangement, and most of them were accompanied by +12 or complex karyotype. An immunophenotypic score of 4-5 was found in 7 patients and 3 in 4 cases. We demonstrated that CLLs with t (14;19) (q32;q13) had a mutational pattern with recurrent mutations in NOTCH1 (3/7), FBXW7 (3/7), and KMT2D (2/7). The very-high-risk, high-risk, intermediate-risk, and low-risk groups consisted of 1, 1, 6, and 3 cases, respectively. Two patients died, 8 survived, and 2 were lost in follow-up. Four patients had disease progression or relapse during treatment. The median time to the first therapy was 1 month. Conclusion: t (14;19) (q32;q13), involving IGH::BCL3 gene rearrangement, is a rare recurrent cytogenetic abnormality in CLL, which is associated with a poor prognosis.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Fufang E'jiao Jiang (FEJ) is a prominent traditional Chinese medicine prescription, which consists of Asini Corii Colla (Donkey-hide gelatin prepared by stewing and concentrating from the hide of Equus asinus Linnaeus., ACC), Codonopsis Radix (the dried roots of Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf., CR), Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra (the steamed and dried root of Panax ginseng C.A. Mey., GRR), Crataegi Fructus (the mature fruits of Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge., CF), and Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata (the steamed and sun dried tuber of Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch. ex Fisch. & C.A. Mey., RRP). It is a popularly used prescription for "nourishing Qi and nourishing blood". AIM OF THE STUDY To explore the potential mechanism of FEJ on precancerous lesion of gastric cancer in rats by combining network pharmacology and metabolomics. METHODS Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology and Bioinformatics Analysis Tool for Molecular mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine were used to identify the ingredients and potential targets of FEJ. GeneCards database was used to define PLGC-associated targets. We built a herb-component-disease-target network and analyzed the protein-protein interaction network. Underlying mechanisms were identified using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis. In addition, 40% ethanol, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitroguanidine and irregular eating were used to establish PLGC rats model. We also evaluated the efficacy of FEJ on MNNG-induced PLGC rats by body weight, histopathology, blood routine and cytokine levels, while the predicted pathway was determined by the Western blot. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based serum non-targeted metabolomics was used to select potential biomarkers and relevant pathways for FEJ in the treatment of PLGC. RESULTS Network pharmacology showed that FEJ exhibited anti-PLGC effects through regulating ALB, TNF, VEGFA, TP53, AKT1 and other targets, and the potential pathways mainly involved cancer-related, TNF, PI3K-AKT, HIF-1, and other signaling pathways. Animal experiments illustrated that FEJ could suppress inflammation, regulate gastrointestinal hormones, and inhibit the expression of PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α pathway-related proteins. Based on serum non-targeted metabolomics analysis, 12 differential metabolites responding to FEJ treatment were identified, and metabolic pathway analysis showed that the role of FEJ was concentrated in 6 metabolic pathways. CONCLUSION Based on network pharmacology, animal experiments and metabolomics, we found that FEJ might ameliorate gastric mucosal injury in PLGC rats by regulating gastrointestinal hormones and inhibiting inflammation, and its mechanism of action is related to the inhibition of excessive activation of PI3K/AKT/HIF-1α signaling pathway and regulation of disorders of body energy metabolism. This comprehensive strategy also provided a reasonable way for unveiling the pharmacodynamic mechanisms of multi-components, multi-targets, and multi-pathways in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Abstract
Objective: To compare clinical and laboratory features between JAK2 exon12 and JAK2 V617F mutated polycythemia vera (PV) . Method: We collected data from 570 consecutive newly-diagnosed subjects with PV and JAK2 mutation, and compared clinical and laboratory features between patients with JAK2 exon12 and JAK2 V617F mutation. Results: 543 (95.3%) subjects harboured JAK2 V617F mutation (JAK2 V617F cohort) , 24 (4.2%) harboured JAK2 exon12 mutations (JAK2 exon12 cohort) , and 3 (0.5%) harboured JAK2 exon12 and JAK2 V617F mutations. The mutations in JAK2 exon12 including deletion (n=10, 37.0%) , deletion accompanied insertion (n=10, 37.0%) , and missense mutations (n=7, 25.9%) . Comparing with JAK2 V617F cohort, subjects in JAK2 exon12 cohort were younger [median age 50 (20-73) years versus 59 (25-91) years, P=0.040], had higher RBC counts [8.19 (5.88-10.94) ×10(12)/L versus 7.14 (4.11-10.64) ×10(12)/L, P<0.001] and hematocrit [64.1% (53.7-79.0%) versus 59.6% (47.2%-77.1%) , P=0.001], but lower WBC counts [8.29 (3.2-18.99) ×10(9)/L versus 12.91 (3.24-38.3) ×10(9)/L, P<0.001], platelet counts [313 (83-1433) ×10(9)/L versus 470 (61-2169) ×10(9)/L, P<0.001] and epoetin [0.70 (0.06-3.27) versus 1.14 (0.01-10.16) IU/L, P=0.002] levels. We reviewed bone marrow histology at diagnosis in 20 subjects with each type of mutation matched for age and sex. Subjects with JAK2 exon12 mutations had fewer loose megakaryocyte cluster (40% versus 80%, P=0.022) compared with subjects with JAK2 V617F. The median follow-ups were 30 months (range 4-83) and 37 months (range 1-84) for cohorts with JAK2 V617F and JAK2 exon12, respectively. There was no difference in overall survival (P=0.422) and thrombosis-free survival (P=0.900) . Conclusions: Compared with patients with JAK2 V617F mutation, patients with JAK2 exon12 mutation were younger, and had more obvious erythrocytosis and less loose cluster of megakaryocytes.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical phenotype and molecular pathogenesis of nine patients with hereditary factor Ⅴ (FⅤ) deficiency. Methods: Nine patients with hereditary FⅤ deficiency who were admitted to the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital from April 1999 to September 2019 were analyzed. The activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, and FⅤ procoagulant activity (FⅤ∶C) were measured for phenotypic diagnosis. High-throughput sequencing was employed for the F5 gene mutation screening, Sanger sequencing was adopted to confirm candidate variants and parental carrying status, Swiss-model was used for three-dimensional structure analysis, and ClustalX v.2.1 was used for homologous analysis. Results: The FⅤ∶C of the nine patients ranged from 0.1 to 10.6. Among them, eight had a hemorrhage history, with kin/mucosal bleeding as the most common symptom (three cases, 37.5%) , whereas one case had no bleeding symptom. There were five homozygotes and four compound heterozygotes. A total of 12 pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutations were detected, of which c.6100C>A/p.Pro2034Thr, c.6575T>C/p.Phe2192Ser, c.1600_1601delinsTG/p. Gln534*, c.4713C>A/p.Tyr1571*, and c.952+5G>C were reported for the first time. Conclusion: The newly discovered gene mutations enriched the F5 gene mutation spectrum associated with hereditary FⅤ deficiency. High-throughput sequencing could be an effective method to detect F5 gene mutations.

Abstract
目的 分析骨髓纤维化(MF)患者RAS基因突变的分子特征及其临床特点和预后意义。 方法 收集2011年12月至2019年12月在我中心有二代基因测序数据的226例MF患者临床资料,回顾性分析RAS基因突变特征、与临床和实验室参数之间的关系,及对总生存(OS)期的影响。 结果 226例原发性骨髓纤维化(PMF)及真性红细胞增多症(PV)或原发性血小板增多症(ET)后骨髓纤维化(post-PV/ET MF)患者中,共14例(6.2%)检出RAS基因突变:NRAS突变9例(4.0%),KRAS突变8例(3.5%),NRAS及KRAS突变并存3例(1.3%)。所有NRAS突变均发生在第12-13号密码子。RAS基因突变多为亚克隆突变,常与SETBP1、SRSF2、MPL共同发生。伴RAS基因异常患者平均突变基因个数(3.36个)与无RAS基因异常组(1.77个)相比,差异有统计学意义(P<0.001)。RAS基因突变患者与无突变患者相比,外周血单核细胞水平升高(P=0.003),血小板水平减低(P=0.026),骨髓原始细胞比例升高(P=0.022),脾脏肋缘下≥10 cm患者比例更高(P=0.005)。突变组患者非常高危(VHR)染色体核型比例(18.2%,2/11)显著高于无突变组患者(2.3%,3/133)(P=0.031)。单因素分析中,NRAS基因突变的MF患者及PMF患者的OS时间较无突变患者显著缩短(P=0.001,P=0.008)。多因素分析显示,NRAS突变是影响OS的独立预后不良因素。 结论 RAS突变常与外周血单核细胞水平升高、血小板计数减低、骨髓原始细胞比例升高、VHR染色体核型等高危临床特征及实验室参数相关,多为发生在MF晚期的亚克隆突变。伴NRAS基因突变PMF及MF患者的OS时间显著缩短。

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Methods: The efficacy and adverse events (AEs) of daratumumab based regimens were retrospectively analyzed in 37 patients with RRMM from Peking University People's Hospital, Beijing Hospital and Fu Xing Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University in China. The deadline for inclusion was December, 2019. Results: Among the 37 patients, 35 patients were available for response evaluation. The overall response rate (ORR) was 68.6%, which was better in patients receiving 16 mg/kg daratumumab than in those with fixed doses of 800 mg daratumumab [ORR: 78.3%(18/23) vs. 40.0%(4/10)]. The percentage of infusion related reactions of daratumumab was 27.0%(10/37). The most common hematological AEs were lymphocytopenia and thrombocytopenia, with the incidences of grade 3 or more severe 59.5%(22/37) and 43.2%(16/37) respectively. Pulmonary infections(37.8%, 14/37) were the most common non-hematological AEs. One patient with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and two patients dependent on dialysis were safely treated with daratumumab. Conclusion: Daratumumab is highly effective in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Adverse reactions are mild and well tolerable.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestations and laboratory features in patients with myeloid neoplasms complicated with clonal T large granular lymphocyte (T-LGL) proliferation. Methods: The clinical data of 5 patients with myeloid neoplasms complicated with clonal T-LGL proliferation from November 2017 to November 2018 in Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The median age was 60 years old. All patients had a history of abnormal peripheral blood cell counts for over 6 months. The absolute lymphocyte count in peripheral blood was less than 1.0×10(9)/L. In addition to the typical T-LGL phenotype, the immunophenotype was heterogenous including CD4(+)CD8(-) in 2 patients, the other 3 CD4(-)CD8(+). Four patients were αβ type T cells, the other one was γδ type. STAT3 mutation was detected in 1 patient by next-generation sequencing, the other 4 cases were negative. Conclusions: Clonal T-LGL proliferation with myeloid neoplasm develops in an indolent manner, mainly in elderly patients. Hemocytopenia is the most common manifestation. The diagnosis of T-LGL proliferation does not have specific criteria, that it should be differentiated from other T cell proliferative disorders, such as T-cell clones of undetermined significance. STAT3 or STAT5b mutation may help distinguish.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical and immunological characteristics of a patient with activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase δ syndrome 2 (APDS2). Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical data, immune-related gene sequencing, imaging and laboratory findings of a patient with APDS2 admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University was performed. The absolute and relative numbers of peripheral lymphocyte subsets, immune cell subsets and phenotypes were detected by flow cytometry with the age matched healthy child or the patient's father as a control. Results: A female patient aged 6 years and 4 months old was firstly admitted due to paleness over one month and cough for 7 days in June 2017. The IgA (<0.067 g/L) decreased while the IgM (2.55 g/L) increased. The abdominal ultrasound found hepatomegaly (subcostal 1.7 cm) and splenomegaly (subcostal 3.6 cm), and gene sequencing revealed a heterozygous mutation in the PIK3R1 gene c.1425+1G>A. After the treatment with prednisone which was initiated with a dose of 10 mg/times, 3 times/d and continued and tapered over 7 months, the IgM decreased to normal (1.72 g/L), and the hepatomegaly (subcostal 0 cm) and splenomegaly (subcostal 0.5 cm) were improved. The patient was readmitted due to pale and sallow complexion for half a month in July 2019. The percentage of naive CD4(+)T (0.386) and naive CD8(+)T cells (0.271) were decreased while the percentage of terminally differentiated effector memory CD8(+)T cells (0.377) and transitional B cells (0.223) were increased. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of phosphorylated protein kinase B (AKT) in CD3(+)T, CD4(+)T and CD8(+)T cells were higher in the patient (4 125, 5 213, 3 497) than those in her father (3 434, 3 312, 3 058). The percentage of follicular helper T cell (Tfh) (0.299), Th1 (0.491) and Th1-like cells (0.438) in the patient were higher than those in the healthy control (0.156,0.313,0.303), while the percentage of Th17 (0.126) and Th17-like cells (0.188) were lower than those in the healthy control (0.198, 0.315). And the percentage of CD57 in the patient (0.306) was also higher than that in the healthy control (0.246). Conclusions: The humoral immunity and cellular immunity of APDS2 patient are impaired to varying degrees. The steroid can improve the lymphoproliferation and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in this case.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the application of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction Veo (ASIR-V) and 80 kV in renal computed tomography angiography(CTA). Methods: Eighty patients with renal computed tomography angiography were prospectively collected from April 2018 to July 2018 in the Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine and randomly divided into group A and group B. The patients in group A adopted tube voltage 120 kV and contrast agent concentration 600 mgI/kg and reconstructed with filtered back projection (FBP), while the patients in group B were scanned with tube voltage 80 kV and contrast agent concentration 350 mgI/kg and reconstructed with FBP and ASIR-V from 10% to 100% with 10% interval. The CT values and standard deviation (SD) of the right renal artery, left renal artery were measured respectively to calculate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR).The image quality of renal CTA was subjectively scored by two experienced radiologists blindly using a 5-point criteria.The contrast agent,CT volume dose index(CTDI(vol)) and dose length product(DLP) in both groups were recorded and the effective radiation dose(ED) was calculated. Results: The ED ((2.11±0.19)mSv) and contrast agent ((21.9±3.0)g) in group B were 65.1% (P<0.05) and 42.2% (P<0.05) lower than those in group A ((6.04±1.89)mSv and (38.0±3.8)g).With the increase of ASIR-V percentage in group B, CT values showed no significant difference, SD values gradually decreased, SNR values and CNR values gradually increased.The CT values with different reconstruction algorithm showed no statistically significant difference (all P>0.05) between group A and group B. The SD values with 40%ASIR-V to 100%ASIR-V reconstruction in group B were significantly lower than those of group A (all P<0.05).The SNR values with 50% ASIR-V to 100% ASIR-V reconstruction and CNR values with 70%ASIR-V to 100%ASIR-V were significantly higher than those of group A(all P<0.5).Two radiologists had excellent consistency in subjective scores of image quality for renal CTA(all kappa>0.75, P<0.05). The subjective scores with 60% ASIR-V to 90% ASIR-V in group B were significantly higher than those in group A (P<0.05), of which 70%ASIR-V reconstruction achieved the highest subjective score for renal CTA. Conclusion: ASIR-V and 80 kV can significantly reduce radiation dose (about 65.1%) and contrast agent (about 42.2%) in renal CTA, ASIR-V reconstruction can significantly improve the image quality of renal CTA, of which 70% ASIR-V reconstruction achieved the best image quality in 80 kV renal CTA.

Abstract
Objective: Analysis of the molecular characteristics of eosinophilia. Methods: Targeting sequence to 24 patients with chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) with rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1 and 62 patients with hyper-eosinophilic syndrome (HES). Mutation annotation and analysis of amino acid mutation using authoritative databases to speculate on possible pathogenic mutation. Results: Thirty-seven kinds of clonal variant were detected from 17 patients with CEL, no recurrent mutation site and hot spot region were found. No pathogenic mutation was detected in 19 patients with PDGFRA rearrangement, but pathogenic mutations of ASXL1, RUNX1 and NRAS were detected from 2 patients with FGFR1 rearrangement who progressed to acute myeloid leukemia and 1 patient with PDGFRB rearrangement who progressed to T lymphoblastic lymphoma, respectively. One hundred and two kinds of clonal abnormalities were detected in 49 patients with HES. The main hot spot mutation regions included: CEBPA Exon1, TET2 Exon3, ASXL1 Exon12, IDH1 Y208C, and FGFR3 L164V. CRRLF2 P224L and PDGFRB R370C point mutations were detected separately in 2 patients with HES who treated with imatinib monotherapy and achieved hematologic remission. Conclusion: The pathogenesis of CEL with PDGFRA, PDGFRB or FGFR1 rearrangement is usually single, and the progression of the disease may involve other driver mutation. A variety of genes with hot mutation regions may be involved in the pathogenesis of HES, and some mutation sites are sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the spectrum of gene mutations in adult patients with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), and to analyze the influences of different gene mutations on prognosis. Methods: DNA samples from 113 adult B-ALL patients who administered from June 2009 to September 2015 were collected. Target-specific next generation sequencing (NGS) approach was used to analyze the mutations of 112 genes (focused on the specific mutational hotspots) and all putative mutations were compared against multiple databases to calculate the frequency spectrum. The impact of gene mutation on the patients' overall survival (OS) and recurrence free survival (RFS) was analyzed by the putative mutations through Kaplan-Meier, and Cox regression methods. Results: Of the 113 patients, 103 (92.0%) harbored at least one mutation and 29 (25.6%) harbored more than 3 genes mutation. The five most frequently mutated genes in B-ALL are SF1, FAT1, MPL, PTPN11 and NRAS. Gene mutations are different between Ph+ B-ALL and Ph- B-ALL patients. Ph- B-ALL patients with JAK-STAT signal pathway related gene mutation, such as JAK1/JAK2 mutation showed a poor prognosis compared to the patients without mutation (OS: P=0.011, 0.001; RFS: P=0.014,<0.001). Patients with PTPN11 mutation showed better survival than those without mutation, but the difference was not statistically significant (P value > 0.05). Besides, in Ph+ B-ALL patients whose epigenetic modifications related signaling pathway genes were affected, they had a worse prognosis (OS: P=0.038; RFS: P=0.047). Conclusion: Gene mutations are common in adult ALL patients, a variety of signaling pathways are involved. The frequency and spectrum are varied in different types of B-ALL. JAK family gene mutation usually indicates poor prognosis. The co-occurrence of somatic mutations in adult B-ALL patients indicate the genetic complex and instability of adult B-ALL patients.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is frequently altered in DLBCL and inhibition of HDAC6 has potent anti-tumor effects in vitro and in vivo. We profiled miRNAs that altered in the HDAC6 knockdown DLBCL cells with NanoString nCounter assay and identified microRNA-27b (miR-27b) as the most significantly increased miRNA. We validated decreased expression of miR-27b in DLBCL tissues, and we found that low expression of miR-27b was associated with poor overall survival of patients with DLBCL. In addition, forced expression of miR-27b suppressed DLBCL cell viability and proliferation in vitro, and inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Mechanistically, Rel A/p65 is found to negatively regulate miR-27b expression, and its acetylation and block of nuclear translocalization caused by HDAC6 inhibition significantly elevates miR-27b expression. Furthermore, miR-27b targets MET and thus represses the MET/PI3K/AKT pathway. These findings highlight an important role of miR-27b in the development of DLBCL and uncover a HDAC6-Rel A/p65-miR-27b-MET signaling pathway. Elevating miR-27b through HDAC6 inhibition would be a promising strategy for DLBCL treatment.

Abstract
Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (DSCAM) is located within the Down syndrome critical region of chromosome 21. DSCAM is a broadly expressed neurodevelopmental protein involved in synaptogenesis, neurite outgrowth, and axon guidance. We previously demonstrated DSCAM overexpression in the cortex of amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgenic mice, suggesting possible regulatory interactions between APP and DSCAM. APP mice exhibit deficits in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. In this preliminary study, we examined age-related changes in DSCAM expression within the hippocampus in 16 APP transgenic mice (1, 3, 6 and 12 months old). Hippocampus-dependent spatial memory was assessed in APP mice and age-matched wild type littermates (WTs) using the Morris water maze (MWM). The cellular distribution of hippocampal DSCAM and total expression at both mRNA and protein levels were measured by immunohistochemistry, qRT-PCR, and western blotting, respectively. APP mice exhibited spatial memory deficits in the MWM. Intense DSCAM immunoreactivity was observed in the dentate gyrus granule cell layer and hippocampal stratum pyramidale. Total hippocampal DSCAM mRNA and protein expression levels were substantially higher in APP mice than WTs at 1 and 3 months of age. Expression decreased with age in both groups but remained higher in APP mice. DSCAM is overexpressed in the hippocampus over the first 12 months of life in APP mice, but especially during maturation to adulthood. In conclusion, these results suggest an association between DSCAM and APP mice, which is characterized by neuropathology and behavioral deficits. These results provide some clues for future studies on the role of DSCAM overexpression in the precocious cognitive decline observed in APP transgenic mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the molecular profile in patients with Ph negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) by exploring 49 gene mutations. METHODS Targeted gene sequencing were performed to analyze 49 MPN-associated genes in 51 patients with Ph negative MPN, of which CARL (exon 9), NPM1 (exon 12) and CEBPA (TAD, BZIP domains) were investigated by using Sanger sequencing simultaneously, while FLT3-ITD was assessed by PCR method. RESULTS Mutations were detected in 73.5% (36/49) of genes, and the mutational rates of JAK2-V617F, CALR (exon 9) and MPL were 60.8%(31/51), 7.8%(4/51) and 7.8%(4/51) respectively, whereas the mutational rates of ASXL1, SETBP1, and SF3B1 were around 10%. In addition, 96.1% (49/51) of patients harbored at least one mutation, and more than half of the patients (52.9%, 27/51) possessed 3 or 4 gene mutations. The amount of gene mutations was significantly higher in patients with JAK2-V617F mutation than those without JAK2-V617F or CALR (exon 9) mutation (P<0.05). The last finding was that there was no statistically significant difference in the amount of mutations among four MPN subtypes (PV, ET, PMF, and MPN-U). CONCLUSION Most patients with Ph negative MPN possesses three or more gene mutations, with various mutational profiles.

Abstract
Signal transduction pathways play a crucial role in breast cancer development, progression, and response to different therapies. A major problem in breast cancer therapy is the heterogeneity among different tumor types and cell lines commonly used in preclinical studies. To characterize the signaling pathways of some of the commonly used breast cancer cell lines and dissect the relationship among a number of pathways and some key genetic and molecular events in breast cancer development, such as p53 mutation, ErbB2 expression, and estrogen receptor (ER)/progesterone receptor (PR) status, we performed pathway profiling of 14 breast cancer cell lines by measuring the expression and phosphorylation status of 40 different cell signaling proteins with 53 specific antibodies using a protein lysate array. Cluster analysis of the expression data showed that there was close clustering of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), Src, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) in all of the cell lines. The most differentially expressed proteins between ER- and PR-positive and ER- and PR-negative breast cells were mTOR, Akt (pThr308), PDGFRβ, PDGFRβ (pTyr751), panSrc, Akt (pSer473), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 (IGFBP5), Src (pTyr418), mTOR (pSer2448), and IGFBP2. Many apoptotic proteins, such as apoptosis-inducing factor, IGFBP3, bad, bax, and cleaved caspase 9, were overexpressed in mutant p53-carrying breast cancer cells. Hexokinase isoenzyme 1, ND2, and c-kit were the most differentially expressed proteins in high and low ErbB2-expressing breast cancer cells. This study demonstrated that ER/PR status, ErbB2 expression, and p53 status are major molecules that impact downstream signaling pathways.

Abstract
The association of the programmed cell death-1 PD1.5 C>T polymorphism with cervical cancer risk has not been investigated. In this hospital-based case-control study, we analyzed 256 patients with cervical cancer and 250 healthy controls. Pearson chi-square test was used to examine differences in the distribution of genotypes between cases and controls. Association between the polymorphism and the susceptibility to cervical cancer was evaluated using unconditional logistic regression analysis. This revealed that the frequencies of the three genotypes (CC, CT, and TT) in cervical cancer cases and controls were 17.58, 65.23, and 17.19% and 24.80, 40.40, and 34.80%, respectively; the difference between the two groups was significant (P < 0.001). We found that the CT genotype was significantly associated with increased cervical cancer risk (adjusted OR = 2.18; 95%CI = 1.37-6.11; P = 0.009). Moreover, there was significant association between PD-1.5 C/T polymorphism and susceptibility to cervical cancer under dominant model (OR = 1.27, 95%CI = 1.01-2.15, P = 0.047). We conclude that the PD-1.5 C/T polymorphism may be associated with increased risk of cervical cancer. The study also highlights the importance of conducting genetic association studies in different ethnic populations.

Abstract
Background Previous studies including our group have indicated the effects of ezetimibe on increased plasma proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) concentration, while the rapid expression in different organs and the potential molecular mechanisms for this impact have not been carefully evaluated. Methods Thirty rats were randomly divided into two groups (n = 15 for each), which were orally administrated with ezetimibe (10 mg/kg/day) or normal saline. Blood samples were obtained at day 3 after orally administration, and the PCSK9 levels were determined by ELISA. We further analyzed the mRNA expression of PCSK9, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), sterol regulator element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2), and hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha (HNF-1α) by real-time PCR, as well as the protein expression by western blot, in liver, intestine and kidney respectively. Results Ezetimibe significantly increased plasma PCSK9 levels compared with control group, while there was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to lipid profile at day 3. Moreover, ezetimibe remarkably increased the expression of PCSK9, LDLR, SREBP2 and HNF-1α in liver. Enhanced expression of PCSK9, LDLR and SREBP2 protein were found in intestine and kidney, while no changes in the expression of HNF-1α were observed in intestine and kidney of rats with ezetimibe treatment. Conclusions The data demonstrated that ezetimibe increased PCSK9 expression through the SREBP2 and HNF-1α pathways in different organs, subsequently resulting in elevated plasma PCSK9 levels prior to the alterations of lipid profile in rats.

Abstract
AIMS To explore the effect of fucoidan treatment on oxidative stress-mediated dopaminergic neuronal damage and its potential mechanisms. METHODS The effect of fucoidan was investigated in a 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) rat model of PD, an animal model considered appropriate for preclinical studies of PD therapy. The effects of fucoidan treatment on animal behavior and the survival ratio of dopaminergic neurons were investigated. We further observed the effect of fucoidan on microglia and the NADPH oxidases-1 (Nox1), a family of enzymes generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). RESULTS We found that chronic fucoidan administration mitigated the motor dysfunction induced by 6-OHDA. Similarly, fucoidan reduced the loss of DA neurons in the SNc and DA fibers in the striatum in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. Moreover, we found that fucoidan inhibited the 6-OHDA-stimulating expression of Nox1 in both tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons and non-TH-positive neurons, prevented Nox1-sensitive oxidative stress and cell damage in SNc neurons. Fucoidan also effectively inhibited nigral microglial activation. CONCLUSION These results support the beneficial effect of fucoidan in 6-OHDA-lesioned rat model of PD. Fucoidan may suppress the Nox1-triggered oxidative stress in the SNc to protect DA neurons from 6-OHDA-induced toxicity and achieve its beneficial effect.

Abstract
Most protocols for in vitro producing red blood cells (RBC) use the CD34(+) cells or embryonic stem cells from cord blood, bone marrow or peripheral blood as the start materials. This study was purposed to produce the mature RBC in vitro by using peripheral blood mononuclear cells as start material. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) were isolated from buffy coat after blood leukapheresis, the mature red blood cells (RBC) were prepared by a 4-step culture protocol. The results showed that after culture by inducing with the different sets of cytokines and supporting by mouse MS-5 cell line, the expansion of PBMNC reached about 1000 folds at the end of the culture. About 90% of cultured RBC were enucleated mature cells which had the comparable morphological characteristics with normal RBC. Colony-forming assays showed that this culture system could stimulate the proliferation of progenitors in PBMNC and differentiate into erythroid cells. The structure and function analysis indicated that the mean cell volume of in vitro cultured RBC was 118 ± 4 fl, which was slight larger than that of normal RBC (80-100 fl); the mean cell hemoglobin was 36 ± 1.2 pg, which was slight higher than that of normal RBC (27-31 pg); the maximal deformation index was 0.46, which approachs level of normal RBC; the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyrurvate kinase levels was consistant with young RBC. It is concluded that PBMNC are feasble, convenient and low-cost source for producing cultured RBC and this culture system is suitable to generate the RBC from PBMNC.

Abstract
Background Berberine (BBR), a natural plant extract, has been shown to improve lipid metabolism. However, its effects on PCSK9, a key factor involving in the lipid metabolism, have not yet been evaluated in vivo. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of BBR on PCSK9 expression in high fat diet-fed (HFD) rats. Methods Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into the four groups (n = 8): normal diet (Control), HFD, HFD + simvastatin (Sim, 2 mg/kg/d) and HDF + BBR (400 mg/kg/d) for 6 weeks. The following parameters were determined: 1) body weight; 2) serum lipid profile; 3) serum PCSK9 measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) ; 4) hepatic expressions of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2) and hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF1) were examined by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blotting analysis. Results Compared with HFD rats, Sim and BBR significantly reduced body weight gain and improved lipid profile (P < 0.05 respectively). In addition, either of drug treatment for 6 weeks could increase serum concentration of PCSK9 in HFD rats (P < 0.05). This enhanced PCSK9 expression was demonstrated to be associated with the up-regulation of hepatic expression of LDLR and SREBP-2 and the down-regulation of hepatic expression of HNF1 (P < 0.05 respectively). Conclusions The data provided the first line of the evidence that BBR, similar to the Sim, could increase the expression of PCSK9 levels in HFD rats through SREBP-2 activation, suggesting that impacts of BBR on lipid profile may also be linked to SREBP-2 pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Red cell distribution width (RDW) has been recognized as a novel marker for several cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between RDW levels and the presence of isolated coronary artery ectasia (CAE). METHODS We studied 414 subjects including 113 patients with isolated CAE (Group A), 144 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD, group B) and 157 angiographically normal controls (group C). Baseline clinical characteristics and laboratory findings including RDW were compared among three groups. RESULTS The levels of RDW were significantly higher in group A and B compared with that in group C (12.97 ± 1.4 and 12.88 ± 1.0 vs 12.34 ± 0.9, p = 0.020) while no difference was found between CAE and CAD (p = 0.17). Additionally, the levels of CRP were also higher in patients with CAE and CAD compared with normal controls (0.26 ± 0.14 mg/L, 0.31 ± 0.27 mg/L vs 0.20 ± 0.06 mg/L, p = 0.04). The multivariate analysis indicated that RDW and CRP were the independent variables most strongly associated with the presence of isolated CAE and CAD. There was a positive correlation between levels of RDW and CRP in patients with isolated CAE (γ=0.532, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our data suggested that RDW may be a useful marker and independent predictor for the presence of isolated CAE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with unfavorable alternations in plasma lipid profile and a broad spectrum of cardio-metabolic disorders. Proprotein convestase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a novel circulating protein that promotes hypercholesterolemia by decreasing hepatic low lipoprotein density receptor (LDLR) protein. However, the relationship between PCSK9 concentration and lipid profile in an obesity condition has less been investigated. OBJECTIVE To examine the changes of plasma PCSK9 concentration in a rat model fed with high fat diet (HFD) and its correlation to lipid profile, body weight and ageing. METHODS Twenty male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into two groups, control group (fed with normal pellet for 4 weeks), and high-fat diet group (fed with 3% cholesterol enrich diet for 4 weeks). Blood samples of rats were obtained before and at days 14, 21, and 28 in both groups. The body weight, plasma metabolic parameters (glucose, lipid profile) and PCSK9 were determined at indicated time points. RESULTS The body weights were significantly increased in rats fed with HFD compared to that in rats with normal pellets at day 28. Additionally, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in rat fed with HFD were also higher than that in rats fed with control diet while decreased high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were found in rats with HFD at day 28. More interesting, there were no differences of plasma PCSK9 concentrations as well as hepatic expression of LDLR between the two groups at day 28. CONCLUSIONS Although the body weight and LDL-C were significantly increased in rats fed with HFD at 4 weeks, there were no differences of changes in plasma PCSK9 concentration and LDLR expression of liver tissue in both groups at baseline and day 28, suggesting that dyslipidemia in the rat model with HFD appears not to be associated with PCSK9-LDLR pathway but ageing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is a condition characterized by chest pain with normal coronary arteries. However, its pathogenesis has not fully been understood yet. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has recently been suggested as a marker of acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases, while no data is available in patients with CSX. METHODS One hundred and twenty consecutive patients with CSX and 102 normal controls were prospectively enrolled in this study. Blood samples were drawn from all individuals for measuring RDW and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP). The baseline data were compared between patients with CSX and normal controls. RESULTS The RDW levels were significantly higher in patients with CSX than that in those with normal controls (13.1 ± 2.1 versus 12.3 ± 1.8, p=0.011). Moreover, the data showed that the levels of plasma CRP were marked higher in patients with CSX than those that were observed in normal controls (CRP: 2.8 ± 2.2 mg/L versus 2.0 ± 1.7 mg/dl, p=0.014). In addition, the multivariate analysis indicated that peripheral monocyte cell, CRP and RDW were the independent variables most strongly associated with CSX. In a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, we found that an RDW value of 12.8% was used as an effective cut-point in the segregation of the presence or absence of cardiac syndrome X, a sensitivity of 52.0% and a specificity of 65.4% were obtained. Finally, correlation analysis suggested that there was positive correlation between plasma levels of CRP and RDW levels (n=120, γ =0.381, P=0.013). CONCLUSIONS The present study, for the first time, demonstrated that elevated RDW and CRP levels were independently associated with the presence of CSX.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE An elevated red cell distribution width has been recognized as a predictor of various cardiovascular diseases. Slow coronary flow syndrome is an important angiographic clinical entity with an unknown etiology. This study aimed to examine the relationship between red cell distribution width and the presence of slow coronary flow syndrome. METHODS In total, 185 patients with slow coronary flow syndrome and 183 age- and gender-matched subjects with normal coronary flow (controls) were prospectively enrolled in this study. Red cell distribution width and C-reactive protein were measured upon admission, and the results were compared between the patients with slow coronary flow syndrome and normal controls. RESULTS Red cell distribution width levels were significantly higher in the patients with slow coronary flow syndrome than the normal controls. Moreover, the data showed that the plasma C-reactive protein levels were also higher in the patients with slow coronary flow syndrome than in the normal controls. In addition, a multivariate analysis indicated that C-reactive protein and red cell distribution width were the independent variables most strongly associated with slow coronary flow syndrome. Finally, the red cell distribution width was positively correlated with C-reactive protein and mean thrombosis in the myocardial infarction frame counts of the patients with slow coronary flow syndrome. CONCLUSION The data demonstrated that red cell distribution width levels are significantly higher and strongly positively correlated with both C-reactive protein and thrombosis in the myocardial infarction frame counts of patients with slow coronary flow syndrome. These findings suggest that red cell distribution width may be a useful marker for patients with slow coronary flow syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown algae, possesses potent antiinflammatory effects. AIMS To examine the effect of fucoidan treatment on inflammation-mediated dopaminergic neuronal damage and its potential mechanisms. METHODS Microglial activation and injury of dopaminergic neurons were induced by intranigral injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and the effects of fucoidan treatment on animal behavior, microglial activation and survival ratio of dopaminergic neurons were investigated. We further observed the efficacy of fucoidan on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in LPS-activated primary microglia. RESULTS Fucoidan significantly improved the behavioral manifestation, prevented the loss of dopaminergic neurons and inhibited the deleterious activation of microglia in the substantia nigra pars compacta of LPS-treated rats. Further in vitro experiments indicated that the excessive production of TNF-α and ROS in LPS-induced primary microglia were significantly inhibited by fucoidan administration. CONCLUSION This is the first study to demonstrate that fucoidan possesses neuroprotective effects on injured dopaminergic neurons in a LPS-induced animal model of Parkinson's disease. The mechanisms underlying these effects may include its potent down-regulation of intracellular ROS and subsequent proinflammatory cytokine release in LPS-activated microglia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been reported that increased red blood cell width (RDW) is a marker associated with the presence and adverse outcomes of various cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was prospectively evaluate the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and RDW in a large Chinese cohort. METHODS A total of 677 consecutive individuals who underwent coronary angiography due to the presence of angina-like chest pain and/or positive treadmill exercise test were enrolled in this study. All patients received coronary angiography and were then divided into two groups based on the results of coronary angiography (CAD group (n = 499) and control group (n = 178)). The clinical information including classical CAD risk factors and RDW were analyzed to identify their relationship to CAD. The severity of CAD was evaluated by Gensini score and its relationship with RDW was also analyzed. RESULTS Patients with angiographic CAD had significantly elevated RDW levels compared with controls ((12.95 ± 0.77)% vs. (12.73 ± 0.83)%, P = 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation between RDW and the Gensini score (r = 0.37, P < 0.001). In multivariate Logistic regression analysis, RDW was demonstrated to be an independent predictor for both angiographic CAD (OR = 1.34, 95%CI: 1.02 - 1.77, P < 0.05) and for a higher Gensini score (> 13, OR = 2.23, 95%CI: 1.62 - 3.08, P < 0.001). In a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, an RDW value of 12.85% was identified as an effective cut-point in predicting the presence or absence of CAD with a sensitivity of 50.0% and a specificity of 65.2%. CONCLUSION RDW is associated with both presence of CAD and the severity of coronary stenosis, suggesting that it might be a readily available marker for the prediction of CAD and its severity.

Abstract
Objective The G-403A polymorphism in RANTES gene may be involved in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) through increasing RANTES-mediated leukocyte trafficking and activation. However, studies investigating the relationship between G-403A polymorphism and CAD yielded contradictory and inconclusive results. In order to shed some light on these inconsistent findings, a meta analysis was performed to clarify the role of G-403A polymorphism of RANTES gene in the susceptibility of CAD. Methods A systemic literature search of PubMed and EMBASE was conducted from their inception to March 23, 2012, to retrieve related studies. In addition, Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science was searched, authors of relevant studies were contacted, and reference lists of the included studies and their related citations in PubMed were reviewed for additional pertinent studies. Results A total of 8 eligible studies were identified, with a total of 4252 CAD cases and 2150 controls. There was no evidence of significant association between G-403A polymorphism and CAD risk in any genetic model or pairwise comparisons (additive model: OR = 1.046, 95% CI = 0.883–1.239, I2 = 65.9%; recessive model: OR = 1.140, 95% CI = 0.774–1.678, I2 = 53.1%; dominant model: OR = 1.000, 95% CI = 0.820–1.21), I2 = 62.6%; AA vs GG: OR = 1.141, 95% CI = 0.734–1.773, I2 = 61.2%; GA vs GG: OR = 0.993, 95% CI = 0.800–1.232, I2 = 64.6%). Subgroup analysis and meta regression indicated that ethnicity and genotyping method accounted for the significant heterogeneity among studies. In the stratified analysis by ethnic group, G-403A polymorphism was found to be associated with increased CAD risk in Caucasian population whereas its protective role was observed in Asian population in some but not all comparisons. Conclusion Data from the current meta-analysis do not support the existence of a relationship between G-403A polymorphism and the development of CAD, and large sample size study employing unified genotyping method is needed to further evaluate the influence of G-403A polymorphism on susceptibility of CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statins are commonly administrated daily, while rosuvastatin can be given every other day due to its longer half-lives. We evaluated the potential efficacy of alternate-day dosing of 10mg rosuvastatin compared with daily dosing of 10mg rosuvastatin with regarding to lipid and inflammatory markers in patients with dyslipidemia. METHODS Thirty-seven patients were randomly divided into the 2 groups: alternate-day group (rosuvastatin 10mg every other day, n=19) and once-daily group (rosuvastatin 10mg every day, n=18) for 6 weeks. The primary endpoints of the study were changes of the serum concentrations of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) following 6-week rosuvastatin therapy. RESULTS Baseline characteristics of the 2 groups were well balanced. LDL-C decreased by 37.5% after the once-daily dosing period and by 36.9% after alternate-day dosing period (p>0.05). Both dosing regimens provided similar improvement in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride. And also, both dosing regimens significantly decreased serum concentrations of CRP, which had an 18.3% reduction in once-daily dosing and a 16.7% reduction in alternate-day dosing of rosuvastatin (p>0.05). Moreover, the pattern of plasma IL-6 concentrations was also similar between the two groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Alternate-day dosing of rosuvastatin could be effective comparable with once-daily dosing of rosuvastatin in Chinese patients in improving not only lipid profile but also inflammatory markers, which may provide some cost savings and increase the compliance of patients.

Abstract
In order to investigate the influence of cytokine combinations on proliferation and differentiation of human umbilical cord blood CD34(+) cells into megakaryocytes/platelets in vitro, the CD34(+) cells from human umbilical cord blood were amplified in serum-free medium StemSpan(SFEM) supplemented with several cytokine combinations by three-phase culture system. The effects of the cytokine combinations were compared. The results showed that at day 14 of the first culture phase, the CD34(+) cells cultured with cytokine combinations SCF + TPO + FL + IL-3 were amplified (11 000 ± 1 000) times, which were significantly higher than that of cells cultured with SCF + TPO + FL, but were not significantly different from that of cells cultured with SCF + TPO + IL-3 or SCF + TPO + FL + IL-3+ hydroxyl-corticosteroids. At day 7 of the second culture phase, the CD34(+) cells cultured with cytokine combination SCF + TPO + FL + IL-11 were amplified by (204666.7 ± 11718.9) times, which were significantly higher than that of cells cultured with SCF + TPO + FL + IL-3, but were not significantly different from that of cells cultured with SCF + TPO + FL + IL-11 + BMP4 + VEGF. At day 3 and day 6, the CD34(+) platelet-like cells accounted for about (39.8 ± 1.9)%, (39.7 ± 2.6)% and (25.5 ± 1.4)%, (23.1 ± 3.5)% cultured with SCF + TPO + FL + IL-11 and SCF + TPO + FL + IL-11 + BMP4 + VEGF, and significantly higher than that of the cells cultured with SCF + TPO + FL + IL-3. It is concluded that the cytokine combination of SCF + TPO + FL + IL-3 is most suitable cytokines combination for the amplification of CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells. The cytokine combination of SCF + TPO + FL + IL-11 is preferred for the proliferation and differentiation of megakaryocytes, this study lays an experimental basis for investigating the proliferation and differentiation of CD34(+) into megakaryocytes/platelets in vitro.

Abstract
This study was aimed to investigate a beneficial approach for resolving the deficiency of blood source, preventing the infection resulting from blood transfusion and overcoming the knotty match of patients with rare blood group by using massive expansion of erythroid cells from cord blood CD34(+) cells in vitro. The CD34(+) cells from human cord blood were cultured in serum-free medium supplemented with stem cell factor (SCF), interleukin-3 (IL-3) and erythropoietin (EPO) for 1 week, then expansion and differentiation of CD34(+) cells into erythroid cells were supported by co-culture with human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow for 2 weeks. The results indicated that after culture for 23 days, the expansion multiple of total cell number reached 2.52 x 10(5), and over 95% of these cells were erythroid cells as compared with less than 1% of myelomonocytic (CD14(+) or CD15(+)) cells and megakaryocytic (CD41(+)) cells. However, the culture system without MSC support was significantly disadvantaged both in expansion ability and ratio of erythroid cells when compared with MSC supporting system. It is concluded that the erythroid cells can be produced from CD34(+) cells in large scale by culturing in the system comprised of cytokine sets and MSC feeders, in which MSCs can support the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism of insulin resistance induced by high-fructose feeding is not fully understood. The present study investigated the role of downstream signaling molecules of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in the insulin-stimulated skeletal muscle of high-fructose-fed rats. Rats were divided into chow-fed and fructose-fed groups. The results of the euglycemic clamp study (insulin infusion rates: 6 mU/kg BW/min) showed a significant decrease in the glucose infusion rate (GIR) and the metabolic clearance rate of glucose (MCR) in fructose-fed rats compared with chow-fed rats. In skeletal muscle removed immediately after the clamp procedure, high-fructose feeding did not alter protein levels of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt), protein kinase C zeta (PKCzeta), or glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4). However, insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt and PKCzeta and GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane were reduced. Our findings suggest that insulin resistance in fructose-fed rats is associated with impaired Akt and PKCzeta activation and GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs), integral membrane proteins with six transmembrane domains, dephosphorylate a variety of extracellular lipid phosphates. Although LPP3 is already known to bind to Triton X-100-insoluble rafts, we here report that LPP1 is also associated with lipid rafts distinct from those harboring LPP3. We found that LPP1 was Triton X-100-soluble, but CHAPS-insoluble in LNCaP cells endogenously expressing LPP1 and several LPP1 cDNA-transfected cells including NIH3T3 fibroblasts. In addition to the non-ionic detergent insolubility, LPP1 further possessed several properties formulated for raft-localizing proteins as follows: first, the CHAPS-insolubility was resistant to the actin-disrupting drug cytochalasin D; second, the CHAPS-insoluble LPP1 floated in an Optiprep density gradient; third, the CHAPS insolubility of LPP1 was lost by cholesterol depletion; and finally, the subcellular distribution pattern of LPP1 exclusively overlapped with that of a raft marker, cholera toxin B subunit. Interestingly, confocal microscopic analysis showed that LPP1 was distributed to membrane compartments distinct from those of LPP3. Analysis using various LPP1/LPP3 chimeras revealed that their first extracellular regions determine the different Triton X-100 solubilities. These results indicate that LPP1 and LPP3 are distributed in distinct lipid rafts that may provide unique microenvironments defining their non-redundant physiological functions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the change regularity of cerebral electrical impedance (CEI) in the healthy people and patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and ischemic stroke. METHODS CEI of 100 healthy volunteers, 52 patients with ICH and 33 patients with ischemic stroke was measured by noninvasive Brain-Edema Monitor. The results of perturbative index (PI) converted from CEI were compared with the volume of infarction, hematoma and surrounding edema, which calculated by image analyzing system according to MRI or CT. RESULTS In the normal groups, PI in the left and right sides of cerebral hemispheres was respectively 7.76 +/- 0.75 and 7.79 +/- 0.58, and there was no significant difference between the two sides (P > 0.05). In the patients with ICH, PI in the hematoma side decreased and was lower than the other side, and then increased gradually, finally exceeded that of the other side. The average "cross" time was (16.25 +/- 8.96) h. It showed that the volume of hematoma was no obvious change before and after the "cross" time [(31.25 +/- 21.59) vs (37.59 +/- 27.57)] (P > 0.05). However, the volume of peri-hematoma edema was significantly larger after the "cross" time than before the "cross" time [(26.35 +/- 13.96) vs (14.68 +/- 5.30)] (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the PI of hematoma side and the volume of peri-hematoma edema (r = 0.8811, P < 0.01). In the patients with arterothrombotic cerebral infarction, PI in the infarct side had a positive correlation with the volume of infarction (r = 0.8496, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS CEI is a stable physical parameter reflecting the electrical character of human brain tissue. It is useful for monitoring edema and hematoma in stroke.

Abstract
Lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) are integral membrane proteins with six transmembrane domains that act as ecto-enzymes dephosphorylating a variety of extracellular lipid phosphates. Using polarized MDCK cells stably expressing human LPP1 and LPP3, we found that LPP1 was located exclusively at the apical surface whereas LPP3 was distributed mostly in the basolateral subdomain. We identified a novel apical sorting signal at the N-terminus of LPP1 composed of F(2)DKTRL(7). In the case of LPP3, a dityrosine motif present in the second cytoplasmic portion was identified as basolateral targeting signal. Our work shows that LPP1 and LPP3 are equipped with distinct sorting signals that cause them to differentially localize to the apical vs. the basolateral subdomain, respectively.

Abstract
Academic researchers are increasingly producing and using cDNA microarrays. Their quality and hybridization specificity are crucial in determining whether the generated data are accurate and interpretable. Here, we describe two methods of monitoring microarray production, the sustainability of DNA attachment, and the specificity of hybridization. The first method consists of labeling an oligonucleotide, which is one of the primers used to amplify all cDNA probes on the array (except for beta-actin and GAPDH) with fluorescent dye and hybridize it to the cDNA microarray. Attachment of the cDNAs on the array after the hybridization procedure was monitored by visualizing fluorescent signals from the spots on the array. In the second method, two selected DNA targets, beta-actin and GAPDH, were labeled with fluorescent dye to hybridize to the cDNA array. Hence, hybridization specificity was demonstrated by obtaining fluorescent signals solely from the genes corresponding to the target.

Abstract
We report here that the anterograde transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi was markedly suppressed by diacylglycerol kinase delta (DGKdelta) that uniquely possesses a pleckstrin homology (PH) and a sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain. A low-level expression of DGKdelta in NIH3T3 cells caused redistribution into the ER of the marker proteins of the Golgi membranes and the vesicular-tubular clusters (VTCs). In this case DGKdelta delayed the ER-to-Golgi traffic of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV G) and also the reassembly of the Golgi apparatus after brefeldin A (BFA) treatment and washout. DGKdelta was demonstrated to associate with the ER through its C-terminal SAM domain acting as an ER-targeting motif. Both of the SAM domain and the N-terminal PH domain of DGKdelta were needed to exert its effects on ER-to-Golgi traffic. Kinase-dead mutants of DGKdelta were also effective as the wild-type enzyme, suggesting that the catalytic activity of DGK was not involved in the present observation. Remarkably, the expression of DGKdelta abrogated formation of COPII-coated structures labeled with Sec13p without affecting COPI structures. These findings indicate that DGKdelta negatively regulates ER-to-Golgi traffic by selectively inhibiting the formation of ER export sites without significantly affecting retrograde transport.

Abstract
We have already described how 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), which is a precursor of the plant hormone ethylene, is synthesized in Penicillium citrinum through the same reaction by the catalysis of ACC synthase [EC 4.4.1.14] as in higher plants. In addition, ACC deaminase [EC 4.1.99.4], which degrades ACC to 2-oxobutyrate and ammonia, was also purified from this strain. To study control of induction of ACC deaminase in this organism, we have isolated and analyzed the cDNA of P. citrinum ACC deaminase and studied the expression of ACC deaminase mRNA in P. citrinum cells. By the analysis of peptides from the digests of the purified and modified ACC deaminase with lysylendopeptidase, 70 % of its amino acid sequences were obtained. These amino acid sequences were used to identify a cDNA, consisting of 1,233 bp with an open reading frame of 1,080 bp encoding ACC deaminase with 360 amino acids. The deduced amino acids from the cDNA are identical by 52% and 45% to those of enzymes of Pseudomonas sp. ACP and Hansenula saturnus. Through Northern blot analysis, we found that the mRNA of ACC deaminase was expressed in P. citrinum cells grown in a medium containing 0.05% L-methionine. These findings suggest that ACC synthesized by ACC synthase and accumulated in P. citrinum intracellular spaces can induce the ACC deaminase that degrades the ACC.

Abstract
1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), which is a precursor of ethylene in plants, has never been known to occur in microorganisms. We describe the synthesis of ACC by Penicillium citrinum, purification of ACC synthase [EC 4.4.1.14] and ACC deaminase [EC 4.1.99.4], and their properties. Analyses of P. citrinum culture showed occurrence of ACC in the culture broth and in the cell extract. ACC synthase was purified from cells grown in a medium containing 0.05% L-methionine and ACC deaminase was done from cells incubated in a medium containing 1% 2-aminoisobutyrate. The purified ACC synthase, with a specific activity of 327 milliunit/mg protein, showed a single band of M(r) 48,000 in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular mass of the native enzyme by gel filtration was 96,000 Da. The ACC synthase had the Km for S-adenosyl-L-methionine of 1.74 mM and kcat of 0.56 s-1 per monomer. The purified ACC deaminase, with a specific activity of 4.7 unit/mg protein, showed one band in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of M(r) 41,000. The molecular mass of the native ACC deaminase was 68,000 Da by gel filtration. The enzyme had a Km for ACC of 4.8 mM and kcat of 3.52 s-1. The presence of 7 mM Cu2+ in alkaline buffer solution was effective for increasing the stability of the ACC deaminase in the process of purification.

Abstract
The acute pancreatitis (AP) was induced with sodium deoxy-cholate in SD rats. Succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), acid phosphatase (ACP) and cytochrome P450 were taken as marked enzyme in estimation of mitochondria, lysosome and microsome to observe the functional and structural changes of the pancreatic subcellular organs and the protective effects of Fructus Gardeniae (FG) in acute pancreatitis in rats. The histological change was observed simultaneously. The results showed that pancreatic cellular SDH reduced significantly and the releasing rate of ACP raised obviously in AP, in FG treated group, SDH was nearly the same as in normal, the releasing rate of ACP decreased and the content of P450 increased in the same time. Histologic observation showed that there was significant inflammatory change in pancreas and abnormal manifestation in structure of subcellular organs in AP, FG Could alleviate the lesion. These results suggested the FG has a remarkable protective effect on the function and structure of the pancreatic subcellular organs in AP.

Abstract
Effect of GJE on the prevention and treatment of experimental acute pancreatitis was observed by means of testing pancreatic, hepatic, gastric and intestinal blood flow. The results show that the blood flow of internal organs that decreases significantly at the early stage of acute necrotizing hemorrhagic pancreatitis in rats can be picked up by GJE especially pancreatic.
