[Objective] To investigate the changes of CD4~+ CD25~+ regulatory T cells (Tr) in peripheral blood and their relation with their body mass index (BMI) of children with acute attack asthma. [Methods] Peripheral blood was obtained from 70 children with acute attack asthma, 30 remission children, and 50 normal control children. Then 70 children with acute attack asthma, were divided by normal weight group (40 cases) and overweight group (30 cases). The levels of CD4~+CD25~+Tr of the patients were tested by flow cytometry (FCM), and their BMI were calculated. [ Results] The levels of CD4~+ CD25~+ Tr [(6.17± 1.72)%] in acute attack group were lower than that in remission group [(7.56±1.48)%] or that in the control group [(7.13± 1.48)%] (P<0.05), but no difference between that in the remission and that in the control (P>0.05). The CD4~+CD25~+Tr of asthmatic children with normal weight [(6.34±1.71)%] was higher than that of asthmatic children with overweight [(4.74±1.20)%] (P<0.05). There was a remarkably negative correlation between the level of CD4~+ CD25~+ Tr of asthmatic children [(6.17±1.72)%] and the BMI (16.00±2.14) (r_p=-0.814, P<0.05). [Conclusion] The levels of CD4~+ CD25~+Tr are remarkable decrease in attack asthmatic children, and more decrease in overweight patients. There is remarkably negative correlation between the levels of CD4~+CD25~+ Tr in peripheral blood of attack asthmatic children and their BMI.

AIM: To investigate the regulatory function of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on T helper 17 cells (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood of severe asthmatic children . METHODS:MSCs were isolated , cultured and identified in vitro.MSCs digested with mitomycin were cocultured with T lymphocytes (TLC) at different ratios (1∶1, 1∶2, 1∶10 and 1∶20) from severe asthmatic children for 72 h.The prolifera-tion of TLC was measured by CCK-8 method.In the coculture system of the 1∶2 ratio and the single TLC system , the super-natant levels of interleukin-17 (IL-17) and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) were measured by ELISA.The mRNA expression of retinoic acid-related orphan nuclear receptor C (RORC) and forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) in TLC was de-tected by qRT-PCR.RESULTS:After cocultured with MSCs , the proliferation of TLC decreased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).It also showed decreases in IL-17 (3 799 ±441 vs 4 890 ±373, P<0.05) and RORC mRNA level (1.21 ±0.14 vs 3.85 ±0.48, P<0.05), while an increase in TGF-βlevel (209 ±32 vs 117 ±26, P<0.05) was observed.No influence on the mRNA expression of Foxp3 was found (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: MSCs suppresses Th17 polarization of naive peripheral blood CD 4 +T cells and matures Th17 cells secreting IL-17, which may ef-fectively revise Th17/Treg imbalance of asthma .

[Objective] This study was designed to determine Th1, Th2 cell numbers and investigate T-bet mRNA, GATA-3 mRNA expression of spleen MNC in a mufine asthmatic model which intended to understand effect of airway T-bet plasmid gene transfer on Th differentiation. [ Methods] A mouse asthmatic model was established by sensitization with ovalbumin (OVA). Thirty-two C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups (8 mice in each group): the normal control group (group A ), the asthmatic model group (group B), the pcDNA3 plasmid group (group C), the pcDNA3-T-bet group (group D). All animals were sensitized and challenged with OVA, except group A normal saline was applied. The group C was intranasally administered 50 μg pcDNA3 plasmid at 24 h before intranasal challenges, and the 50 μg pcDNA3-T-bet plasmid for the mice of group D. We investigated Th1 and Th2 cell numbers by FACS and T-bet, GATA-3mRNA expression of spleen mononuclear cells (MNC) by semi-quantitative PCR in the four groups. [Result] Th1 percent in spleen MNC of pcDNA3-T-bet treated mice was significantly increased ([2.29±1.551% vs. [1.93±1.141%, P<0.05), while Th2 percent was significantly decreased ([0.93±0.64]% vs. [1.63±0.59]%), compared with that of the asthmatic control group mice by FACS. Spleen MNC was detected a high level of T-bet mRNA expression (0.53±0.027 vs. 0.28±0.035, P<0.05) and a low level of GATA-3 mRNA expression (0.24±0.022 vs. 0.58±0.038, P<0.05) after pcDNA3-T-bet treatment by RT-PCR. There was no significant change between the pcDNA3 plasmid group and the asthmatic model group. [Conclusion] The intranasal transfer of pcDNA3-T-bet plasmid was effective in modulating the imbalance of Th1/Th2 in mice asthma model, which provides a novel therapeutic strategy for transferring transcriptional factor in allergic asthma.

AIM: To investigate the effect of T-bet plasmid gene transfer to airway on allergen induced airway inflammation in a murine asthmatic model. METHODS: A mouse asthma model was established by sensitization with ovalbumin (OVA). Forty C57BL/6 mice were divided into 4 groups (10 mice in each group): the normal control group (group A), the asthmatic model group (group B), the pcDNA3 plasmid group (group C), and the pcDNA3-T-bet group (group D). The animals in group B, C and D were sensitized and challenged with OVA. The animals in group A were applied with normal saline. pcDNA3 plasmid at dose of 50 μg was intranasally administered at 24 h before intranasal challenges to the mice in group C, and the 50 μg pcDNA3-T-bet plasmid for the mice in group D. Bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected and lung tissues were resected at 48 h after OVA challenge for later assay. RESULTS: After administration with pcDNA3-T-bet plasmid, high level of T-bet expression at 48 h was detected in the lung tissue by Western blotting. In pcDNA3-T-bet treated asthmatic models, histological evaluation revealed the significant suppression of eosinophil peribronchial and perivascular infiltration, and reduction of epithelial damage. The numbers of eosinophils, neutrophils and lymphocytes in BALF from pcDNA3-T-bet treated mice were significantly reduced compared to those in asthmatic control group (P<0.05). The level of IL-4 in BALF was significantly decreased in pcDNA3-T-bet group compared to that in asthmatic control group (P<0.05), while the level of IFN-γ in BALF was significantly increased in pcDNA3-T-bet group. No significant change of inflammation cells and cytokines in pcDNA3 plasmid group and asthmatic control group was observed (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Intranasal pcDNA3-T-bet plasmid transfer inhibits asthmatic airway inflammation in the murine asthmatic model, suggesting a new therapeutic strategy for allergic asthma.

Extensive intracranial calcification is rare in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. This article reported a patient with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus, complicated with bilateral symmetrical extensive intracranial calcification. By reviewing literature, the results suggested that the flare of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus and the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies may be risk factors for intracranial calcification. Therefore, in order to prevent the formation of intracranial calcification, it is necessary to maintain continuous disease remission and anticoagulant therapy.
