Linalool inhibits the growth of human T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells with involvement of the MAPK signaling pathway.

Linalool can inhibit the malignant proliferation of numerous human malignant solid tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, small cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. However, the role of linalool in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) remains unclear. In the present study, human T-ALL cell lines (Jurkat, H9, Molt-4 and Raji cells) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy donors were treated with various concentrations of linalool (3.

Spontaneous rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm with splenic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma: a case report.

Spontaneous rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm with splenic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare condition. Splenic artery aneurysm can be complicated by rupture resulting in hypovolemic shock, which can be fatal if not treat properly. We report a case of a 50-year-old man who presented with sudden onset of left upper quadrant pain and shock.

[Analysis of clinical application of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for the pancreatic diseases in children].

Objective: To study the feasibility and risk of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for children in clinic, and to evaluate the effects of ERCP in diagnosis and treatment of the pancreatic diseases in children.

Method: Totally 98 patients under 14 years of age who underwent ERCP from 1994 to 2011 were enrolled in the study. The data of diagnosis, anesthesia type, treatments, and postoperative complications were collected.

[Effect of high volume hemofiltration on respiration, hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in sepsis with acute respiratory distress syndrome].

Objective: To investigate the effect of continuous high volume hemofiltration (HVHF) on respiration, hemodynamics, and oxygen metabolism in severe sepsis patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Methods: Twelve adult patients with ARDS received mechanical ventilation and HVHF (80 mlxkg(-1)xh(-1)) lasting 12-18 hours every day. The cardiac output (CO), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), arterial oxygen content (CaO(2)), O(2) content of mixed venous blood (CvO(2)), oxygen consumption (VO(2)), oxygen delivery (DO(2)) and oxygen extraction rate (O(2)ER) were measured with the aid of a Swan-Ganz catheter, the thoracic fluid content (TFC) were measured with BioZ(r) Cardio Dynamics.
