Objective To study the immunosuppression of Demethylzeylasteral (T-96) on the lymphocytic blastogenesis in vitro and compare the inhibitory effects on the rejection in renal transplant rats between T-96 with Glucosidorum Tripterygll Totorum (TII) in vivo. Methods Mixed lymphocyte cells were cultured through xenogenous antigen to stimulate C57BL/6 mouse spleen cell blast transformation, then different concentrations of T-96 or TII were added respectively. By 3H-TdR methods, the inhibitory effects of T-96 and TII on the blast transformation of spleen cells were measured. Different doses of T-96 or TII were given for different groups of renal transplant rats to evaluate the effects on survival time of renal transplant rats.Methods At the concentrations of 0.25 , 0.5 , 1.0 ??g/ml T-96, there was a significant inhibitory effect on the blast transformation of mouse spleen cells as compared with control group ( P

Objective To observe the ZEEK thrombus aspiration catheter use on the level of vascular and myocardial perfusion in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients,as well as the impact of early prognosis in order to clear the relative best use of ZEEK thrombus aspiration catheter.Methods Eighty-eight acute STEMI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),according to the direct use of ZEEK thrombus aspiration catheter or after pre-expansion with small balloon,divided into direct aspiration group 45 cases,and inflation pre-aspiration group 43 cases.All patients underwent stenting,observed the perfusion of the vascular and myocardial levels after stenting,after 1 month,determined N end of B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level,observed segmental wall motion score index (WMSI) and left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF).Results Direct aspiration group was significantly better than inflation pre-aspiration group in the TIMI frames count,rate of TIMI coronary myocardial perfusion grade 2-3 grade and after 2 h ST segment resolution ＞ 50％ rate [(31.3 ± 7.9) frames vs.(42.5 ± 8.5) frames,84.4％(38/45) vs.72.1％(31/43),86.7％(39/45) vs.74.4％(32/43),P＜0.01 or ＜ 0.05].After 1 month,direct aspiration group was significantly lower than inflation pre-aspiration group in the peak of creatine kinase isozyme MB,NT-proBNP and WMSI [(2141.3 ± 306.5)U/L vs.(2734.5 ± 366.1)U/L,(443.2 ± 226.4) ng/L vs.(512.9 ± 281.7) nig/L,1.32 ± 0.16 vs.1.59 ± 0.23,P ＜ 0.05],but there was no significant difference in LVEF between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Repeated aspiration to infarction responsibility lesion segments using ZEEK thrombus aspiration catheter,and direct stenting,which is superior to the thrombus aspiration and stenting placement after single or multiple pre-expansion.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether-based photodynamic (HMME-PDT) therapy for the treatment of port-wine stain (PWS) and its sonographic changes. Methods: A total of 45 patients with confirmed PWS were enrolled from the Department of Dermatology, Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from March 2017 to June 2018, including 5 with pink PWS, 39 with purplish red PWS and 1 with thickened PWS. All the patients received 3 sessions of HMME-PDT therapy. The skin thickness and density were compared before and after the treatment by using high-frequency ultrasound. Ranked data were analyzed by using nonparametric test. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and analyzed using ony-way analysis of variance. Multiple comparisons were performed using Student-Newman-Keuls-q (SNK-q) test. The results were considered to be statistically significant if P < 0.05. Results: Among the 45 patients with PWS who completed the treatment and follow-up, 10 were cured, 21 received marked improvement, 12 received improvement, and 1 showed no response. The total response rate was 97.78%, and the response rate in the patients with pink PWS was higher than that in the patients with purplish red PWS (U = 12.50, P < 0.001) . The difference value of the skin thickness or skin density before and after the treatment significantly differed among the cured patients, patients receiving marked improvement and those receiving improvement (skin thickness:0.65 ± 0.21, 0.56 ± 0.88, 0.37 ± 0.12 mm respectively; skin density: -8.65 ± 2.19, -6.86 ± 2.79, -4.92 ± 2.91 g/cm³ respectively; F = 14.528, 5.428 respectively, both P < 0.001) , and the difference values of the skin thickness and density were significantly higher in the cured patients than in those receiving improvement (q = 5.82, 4.63, both P < 0.05) . Erythematous swelling to different extents occurred at the laser-exposed sites in the zygomatic and cheek region in 23 patients with PWS and in the frontal-zygomatic region in 6 with PWS after the HMME-PDT therapy, but gradually regressed about 1 week later. Pale brown crusts were observed at the laser-exposed sites in 35 patients, and shed spontaneously about 3 weeks later. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation at the laser-exposed sites was observed in 4 patients, and gradually regressed after 2-month follow-up. Conclusions HMME-PDT therapy is effective for the treatment of PWS, with high safety and few adverse reactions. High-frequency ultrasound can be used for objectively evaluating the clinical efficacy of HMME-PDT therapy.
