Objective To investigate the effect of calcipotriol on psoriasis and its effect of peripheral blood interleukin-2(IL-2), interferon-γ(IFN-γ), IL-4 and IL-10 and the percent of cell TH17.Methods From March 2013 to June 2016, 96 patients with psoriasis vulgaris inour hospital were randomly divided into control group and study group according to different treatment regimens, each group 48 cases.The control group was treated with YujinXiaoyin Decoction, and the study group was treated with YujinXiaoyin Decoction and calcipotriolointment,both groups were treated for 3 months.Treatment effect, psoriasis lesion area and severity index(PASI) score, the incidence of adverse reactions were statistically analyzed of the two groups,and the levels of IL-10, IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4 and peripheral blood TH17 cells percentagewere measured and compared.Results The treatment effectafter treatmentfor 1month, 2 months and 3 months of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group, but PASI score was lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);The peripheral blood IL-10, IL-2, IFN-γ and IL-4 levels after treatment for 3 months in the study group were significantly lower than those before treatment, and was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05);The percentage of TH17 cells in the two groups after treatment for 3 months was significantly lower than before treatment, and the study group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05);The incidence of adverse events in the study group(4.17%) was lower than that in the control group(18.75%) after treatment, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of carbapenol in the treatment of psoriasis is significant, which can effectively improve the skin lesions and reduce the the peripheral blood IL-10, IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4levels and the safety is high.

Objective To investigate the effects of preconditioning with extract of Ginkgo Biloba (EGB) on the tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury to the limb. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 17-64 yr weighing 46-72 kg undergoing lower limb operation under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 each) : group A control and group B EGB. CSEA was performed at L2,3 or L3,4 interspace. The height of sensory block was kept below T10. Group B received EGB 0.3 mg/kg in 100 ml normal saline (NS) injected over 20 min via an intravenous line in the forearm as soon as the tourniquet was inflated while control group received plain NS 100 ml without EGB. Venous blood samples were obtained before tourniquet was inflated (To baseline) and at 5, 10, 20 min after tourniquet was released (T_1 , T_2, T_3) for measurement of blood lactate and MDA concentrations and SOD activity. BP (SP, DP) and HR were continuously monitored and recorded at the above time points. Results In control group DP and SOD activity were significantly decreased while blood lactate and MDA concentrations were significantly increased after tourniquet release as compared with the baseline values before tourniquet was inflated. In EGB group there was no significant change in DP, blood lactate and MDA concentrations and SOD activity after tourniquet was released as compared with the baseline. Conclusion Pretreatment with EGB can protect against tourniquet-induced I/R injury to the limb.

In recent years the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) has increased, with a high mortality rate and poor prognosis.The key of improving the prognosis of AKI is early diagnosis and intervention.Due to the lack of biomarkers of early diagnosis in AKI, the effective early treatment is generally delayed.Traditional diagnosis biomarkers such as serum creatinine and blood urea are delayed and affected by various factors.Recently, some new potential early diagnostic biomarkers have been found.MicroRNA(hereinafter referred to as the miRNA) is a kind of endogenous non-coding small RNA, and studies have shown that it is related to the development of AKI.

Objective:The current evidence suggests that tumor necrosis factor-inhibitor (TNFi) treatment can be used to achieve clinical remission or low disease activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). After achieving remission / low disease activity, however, the follow-up treatment options are unclear. The purpose of this review is to conduct an extensive and systematic literature review of the studies conducted from September 2014 to July 2020 to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of tapering of biological agents.Methods:After searching for the related papers and abstracts and applying inclusion/exclusion criteria, a structured extraction process was used to include the studies into this study.Results:A total of 13/93 studies were included into the analysis of the tapering of biological agents in AS patients, in which 7/13 adopted the dose reduction regimen, 3/13 adopted the extended interval between doses regimen, and 5/13 did not provide or formulate the detailed reduction regimen. We summarized the feasibility of TNFi tapering schemes in the published studies and summarized the tapering rules. Only one study showed that reduced TNFi levels worsened the quality of life and resulted in a relapse within 12 months.Conclusion:More research is needed to understand the long-term effects of these strategies on efficacy, safety, and cost in the treatment of AS.

Objective: To analyze the genetic polymorphism and relationship of Sophora alopecuroides from Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolian in China, and to offer some information for the domestication and protection of wild S. alopecuroides germplasms. Methods: ISSR primers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of 22 populations of S. alopecuroides. Cluster analysis of the unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were carried out based on the molecular data obtained, and a dendrogram was constructed. Results: Totally 433 alleles were amplified using the 51 ISSR primers. The number of allels in per primer range was 5-12, with an average of 8.49. The average percentage of polymorphic loci (PPB) was 93.30%. The Nei's gene diversity (H) and Shannon's information index (I) were 0.3351 and 0.4998, respectively. The genetic distances range was 0.1736-0.6502. Conclusion: The genetic polymorphism among 22 populations of S. alopecuroide is relatively abundant and there are no direct relationship between genetic distance and geographical distribution in them.
