12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) increases murine intestinal crypt stem cell survival following radiation injury.

Radiation enteropathy is a common complication in cancer patients following radiation therapy. Thus, there is a need for agents that can protect the intestinal epithelium against radiation. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) has been shown to induce differentiation and/or apoptosis in multiple cell lines and primary cells.

A minicircuitry of microRNA-9-1 and RUNX1-RUNX1T1 contributes to leukemogenesis in t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia.

MicroRNA-9-1(miR-9-1) plays an important role in the mechanism that regulates the lineage fate of differentiating hematopoietic cells. Recent studies have shown that miR-9-1 is downregulated in t (8; 21) AML. However, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying miR-9-1 downregulation and the RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion protein, generated from the translocation of t (8; 21) in AML, remain unclear.

AML1-ETO promotes SIRT1 expression to enhance leukemogenesis of t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia.

Recently, SIRT1 was found to play an important role in a variety of solid and hematologic malignancies. The expression and function of SIRT1 may differ completely depending on cell type and gene subtype, and it can act as a tumor suppressor or oncogene. We describe how SIRT1 mRNA and protein levels are overexpressed in t(8;21) AML cells.

Extracellular Vesicles Released from Human Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Prevent Life-Threatening Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease in a Mouse Model of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are attractive agents for the prophylaxis of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, safety concerns remain about their clinical application. In this study, we explored whether extracellular vesicles released from human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSC-EVs) could prevent aGVHD in a mouse model of allo-HSCT.

[Efficient evaluation of standardized specific immunotherapy in personalized maintenance phase to patients of allergic rhinitis].

Objective: To explore the efficacy of individualized subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in allergic rhinitis(AR) maintain phase.

Method: Compare nasal symptom scores (VAS) and special disease scale--nasal conjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire(RQLQ) score after 3 years treatment to evaluate the therapeutic effect of each group and the level of improving patients quality of life. Take patients' blood to detect the serum level of IL-10 by enzyme linked immunosorbent test (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay).

SIRT2 is an unfavorable prognostic biomarker in patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

SIRT2 is a member of the NAD+ dependent deacetylases. In this study, the associations between SIRT2 expression and molecular and clinical characteristics of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) were evaluated by data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. SIRT2 was overexpressed in the intermediate- and poor-risk groups of patients, compared to the favorable-risk group of patients (P = 0.

Mutational spectrum and risk stratification of intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia patients based on next-generation sequencing.

Intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia (IR-AML), which accounts for a substantial number of AML cases, is highly heterogeneous. Although several mutations have been identified, the heterogeneity of AML is uncertain because novel mutations have yet to be discovered. Here we applied next generation sequencing (NGS) platform to screen mutational hotspots in 410 genes relevant to hematological malignancy.

High expression of c-kit mRNA predicts unfavorable outcome in adult patients with t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia.

The reason that a certain subgroup of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with t(8;21) translocation (generating the AML1/ETO fusion gene) displays a poor survival remains elusive. The proto-oncogene c-kit is expressed in approximately 80% of AML cases. The kinase domain mutation of the c-kit gene, one of the most common gain-of-function mutations associated with t(8;21) AML, predicts higher relapse risk and poor prognosis.

[Effect of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in 13 patients with AML1/ETO (+) acute myeloid leukemia].

This study was purposed to analyse the clinical efficacy of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) in 13 Patients with AML1/ETO (+) acute myeloid leukemia, and to evaluate the role of quantitative detecting the AML1/ETO gene in treatment of AML patients. A total of 13 patients with AML1/ETO (+) acute myeloid leukemia treated with APBSCT from August 2007 to November 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The median follow-up time was 26 (7.

[Outcome and prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia patients treated with related peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation].

This study was purposed to evaluate the outcome of acute myeloid leukemia patients treated with related peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (PBHSCT) and analyse the potential prognostic factors. A total of 64 acute myeloid leukemia patients treated with related peripheral allo-HSCT from march 2008 to august 2012 in our hospital were enrolled in the analysis. All the patients received either HLA-matched related or mismatched related donor mobilized peripheral blood stem cells.

[Analysis of symptoms and quality of life in children with allergic rhinitis].

Objective: To evaluate symptoms and quality of life in children with allergic rhinitis, and to evaluate the correlations among the skin prick tests results, symptoms and quality of life.

Method: Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess the symptoms severity, rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) was used to assess quality of life, the skin prick tests results were recorded, and statistics analysis was carried out among them.

Result: (1) There were significant differences among the five aspects of RQLQ (F = 32.
