Objective To investigate the effect of intra-dialytic exercises on micro-inflammatory state in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Methods Sixty clinically stable MHD patients from the Hemodialysis Center were enrolled in the study . The patients were divided into exercise group and control group with 27 cases in each group by using the random digit number table. The patients in the exercise group underwent a 6-month intra-dialytic exercise, in which the patients conducted physical exercises supinely on a cycle ergometer each for 50 minutes, 3 times a week. The patients in the control group were treated without any exercise intervention. Serum interleukin-6(IL-6), C-reactive protein(CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were determined after the study for 0 and 6 months. Results After the 6-month intradialytic exercise program, serum IL-6, CRP and TNF-α were all decreased in the exercise group (P < 0.05). These indices were unchanged in the control group (P > 0.05). Conclusion The intra-dialytic exercises can alleviate micro-inflamatory state in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Objective To explore the effect of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) decoy oligode-oxynucleotides (ODN) on respiratory function and expressions of IL-1β and IL-13 in serum following se-vere lung contusion in rabbits. Methods A total of 40 New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, ie, severe lung contusion group (Group A, n=12), severe lung contusion with NF-κB scrambled decoy ODN intervention group (Group B, n=12), severe lung contusion with sense NF- B de-coy ODN intervention group (Group C, n=12) and normal control group (Group D, n =4). After the contusion model was set up, the sense and scrambled NF-κB decoy ODN were infused into the rabbits via the jugular veins in different groups, with 20 g per experimental rabbit. After contusion, respiratory fre-quency, tidal volume, airway pressure, respiration flow rate curve and end expiration nitric oxide concen-tration were detected at 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours. The expressions of IL-1β and IL-13 in serum were observed by means of ELISA. Results After sense NF-κB decoy ODN intervention, alveolar ventilation, arteri-al PO_2 and pulmonary compliance were improved, compared with Group A and Group B, with statistical difference (P<0.01). The expression of IL-1β was decreased and that of IL-13 increased after sense NF-κB decoy ODN intervention to the severe lung contusion, compared with Groups A and B, with statis-tical difference (P <0.01). The expression of IL-1β was increased to peak level at 1 hour after contu-sion, which continued to the end of the experiment. While expression of IL-13 was decreased at 1 hour af-ter contusion and reached the minimum level at 4 hours. With intervention with sense decoy ODN, the in-creased expression of IL-1β was down-regulated, but expression of IL-13 remained at high level, with sta-tistical difference compared with Group A and Group B (P < 0.01). Conclusions Intervention with sense NF-κB decoy ODN can significantly protect the respiratory function, reduce the expression of IL-1β and increase expression of IL-13 after severe lung contusion.

Objective To improve the ultrasonic differential diagnosis of thyroid lump through analyzing pathological and ultrasonic features of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods Records of 173 cases papillary thyroid carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively in terms of preoperative ultrasonic manifestation, lesion size, echo,boundary, calcification, blood supply, lymph node metastasis and accompanying diseases etc. Results The avthe 173 papillary thyroid carcinoma cases, the number of cancer nodule was 203. There was no statistical difference between papillary thyroid carcinoma lesion and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma lesion in terms of low echo and ill-defined borders (P ＞ 0. 05). The former is higher than the latter in blood flow speed, microcalcification rate, and preoperative ultrasonic diagnosis rate (P ＜0. 01, P ＜0. 05, P ＜0. 01 respectively). The mulifocality rate for the 173 cases with papillary thyroid carcinoma is 33.53% (58/173). There was no statistical difference between papillary thyroid carcinoma and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma in cancer lesion(P ＞0. 05), while the former has a higher rate of lymph node metastasis than the latter(P ＜0. 01). Preoperative diagnosis rate is higher in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma cases without other thyroid diseases than in cases with other thyroid diseases (P ＜ 0. 05). No statistical difference of preoperative diagnosis rate was seen between papillary thyroid carcinoma patients with other thyroid diseases and those without other thyroid diseases (P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusions The overall evaluation of thyroid nodule diameter, boundary, echo, small calcification, lymph node metastasis, blood supply, accompanying diseases and so on can improve diagnosis of primary papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To study the effect of rapamycin on the balance of T helper cell subsets in rats with pulmonary fibrosis. Methods Fifteen male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group, model group and rapamycin group, with 5 rats in each group. Pulmonary fibrosis model was reproduced by using the method of intratracheal instillation of bleomycin (5 mg/kg). Control group was treated by intratracheal instillation of saline (1.25 mL/kg) to obtain the negative control. The rats of the rapamycin group were given rapamycin (1 mg·kg-1·d-1) by gastric perfusion for consecutive 10 days beginning on the 3rd day after intratracheal instillation of bleomycin. On the 28th day all rats were sacrificed, and the peripheral blood and the lung tissues were harvested. The lung tissue was observed. And the severity of pulmonary fibrosis in rats was assessed by Ashcroft score. The lung tissues were performed using immunohistochemical staining to detect the expression ofγ-interferon (IFN-γ) and interleukins (IL-4, IL-17). Flow cytometry was used to detect the percentages of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells. Results The severity of pulmonary fibrosis was improved in rats of rapamycin group compared with that of model group, and the Ashcroft score was decreased (2.92±0.64 vs. 5.76±1.76, F = 16.276, P = 0.080). The expression levels of IL-4 and IL-17 (A value) in model group were the highest (4 789.0±1 014.6, 19 139.0±2 433.3), followed by those of the rapamycin group (3 547.0±953.8, 10 380.0±2 352.4), and the least was found in the control group (1 627.0±914.8, 4 419.0±923.6). The expression levels of IFN-γ (A value) in control group were the highest (9 956.0±1 172.6), followed by those of the rapamycin group (7 487.0±998.4), and the least was found in the model group (6 054.0±1 045.2). There were significantly differences in above parameters among three groups (all P<0.01). Compared with the control group and model group, the percentages of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+T cells in CD4+CD25+, CD4+cells, and lymphocytes were significantly increased in rapamycin group [(57.36±8.84)% vs. (41.28±5.91)%, (34.52±4.56)%; (4.77±0.48)% vs. (3.15±0.37)%, (3.14±0.28)%;(1.97±0.22)%vs. (1.24±0.17)%, (1.44±0.21)%, all P<0.05], and the percentages of CD8+CD25+Foxp3+T cells in CD8+CD25+, CD8+cells, and lymphocytes were also significantly increased in rapamycin group [(73.92±7.69)% vs. (33.44±4.46)%, (49.14±11.38)%; (1.73±1.05)% vs. (0.46±0.15)%, (0.71±0.42)%;(0.31±0.20)% vs. (0.09±0.04)%, (0.14±0.09)%, all P < 0.05]. The percentage of CD8+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells in CD8+CD25+in model group was significantly higher than that in control group [(49.14±11.38)% vs. (33.44±4.46)%, P < 0.05]. Conclusions T helper cell subsets are imbalanced in pulmonary fibrosis rats. Rapamycin can prevent bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and its antifibrotic effect maybe the promotion of proliferation and function of regulatory T cells and imbalance regulation of T helper cell subsets.
