Objective To investigate the possible role of interleukin (IL)-10 secreted by peripheral CD+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in the formation of seroresistance state in patients with syphilis.Methods Venous blood samples were obtained from 28 serofast patients with syphilis and 28 healthy controls.Flow cytometry (FCM) was performed to determine the proportion of CD4+CD25+IL-10+ T cells in peripheral CD4+ cells,and to quantify the protein expression of IL-10 in CD4+CD25+ Treg cells.Magnetic activation cell sorting (MACS) system was used to separate CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in high purity followed by the detection of IL-10 mRNA expression with real time PCR.Results A significant increase was observed in the proportion of CD4+CD25+IL-10+ T cells in peripheral CD4+ cells,as well as protein and mRNA expression levels of IL-10 in the serofast patients with syphilis compared with the healthy controls (all P ＜ 0.01).However,no statistical correlation was observed between rapid plasma reagent (RPR) titer and any of the above three parameters in these patients (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The high level of IL-10 secreted by CD4+CD25 + Treg cells may contribute to the formation of seroresistance state in patients with syphilis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety evaluation of fibrinolytic,anticoagulant and antiplatelet drug combination treatment in patients with progressive ischemic stroke (PIS). Methods Ninety cases with PIS were randomly divided into the treatment group (47 cases) and the control group (43 cases). The patients in the control group were given combination therapy of Diemailing, Nadroparin calcium and Ozagrel,while the combination therapy of Defibrase, Diemailing, Nadroparin Calcium and Ozagrel were given in the treatment group. The plasma fibrinogen (Fib), prothrombin time (PT), part enabled prothrombin time (APTT), liver and kidney function were observed. The clinical efficacy was evaluated after 14 days treatment. Results After treatment,the total effective rate of the treatment group was 89.4% ,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (67.4%) (P ＜ 0.05). After treatment, the PT and APTT levels of the treatment group were respectively (19.76± 5.53)s and (35.43 ± 6.03)s,the control group were respectively(17.26 ± 1.49)s and (35.71±5.64) s, the PT and APTT increased significantly compared with the pre-treatment condition in both groups (P ＜ 0.05), while the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05). The Fib level was (1.51 ±0.42)g/L in the treatment group,and (3.10 ±0.69)g/L in the control group. In the treatment group the Fib level was significantly lower than the control group and the condition before treatment(P ＜0.05). We found no significant difference between conditions before or after the treatment in the control group (P ＞ 0.05). The incidence of adverse clinical events showed no significantly difference between the treatment group and control (P ＞0.05). Conclusions Applying of fibrinolytic, anticoagulant and antiplatelet drug combination treatment in patients with PIS has a good efficacy and safety,which is good for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,therapy and maternal and perinatal prognosis of generalized pustular psoriasis of pregnancy.Methods Clinical data for seven inpatients with generalized pustular psoriasis of pregnancy were retrospectively analyzed from January 1,2005 to December 31,2012.Results Three patients had family history of psoriasis and five had previous history of psoriasis.All skin lesions were large patches of erythema,with needlepoint to miliary size pustules and scales.Two patients had oral involvement and three had nail involvement.Biopsy and bacterial culture were performed on five patients,in whom histopathological changes of pustular psoriasis were found,and bacterial culture was negative except in one patient.Among the patients,four had confirmed cause of disease; six patients were complicated with fever; four had increased leukocytes; seven had elevated neutrophils and C-reactive protein;five had increased total protein; and six had increased albumin.The disease was diagnosed according to the clinical manifestations and laboratory tests.Comprehensive treatment with glucocorticosteroids,antibiotics and local treatment were performed.Four patients had live births,and three patients underwent odinopoeia.Two babies were healthy,one had died,and another had varus foot deformity.Three patients had pustular relapse after labor.Conclusions Fetal-placental functions of patients with generalized pustular psoriasis of pregnancy should be monitored closely.Early diagnosis,treatment and termination of pregnancy can improve the maternal and perinatal prognosis.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of isoflurane-nitrous oxide on hemodynamics in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement. Method:Hemodynamics values were measured with Swan-Ganz technique. Thirty-nine patients were divided into two groups according to their cardiac function before surgery. The patients with cardiac function Ⅱ degree were belong to group Ⅰ and those with cardiac function Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree to group Ⅱ. Result:CI,LVWI, RVWI,HR and MAP decreased significantly in both groups after induction of anesthesia without change in SI. During tracheal intubation and sternotomy,CI and LVWI decreased,PTRI and SVRI increased,particularly in group Ⅱ. During aorta and vena cava intubation the changes of hemodynamics were relatively complicated with CI and SI improved in group Ⅱ and further decreased in group Ⅰ. After CPB,MPAP,PAWP,PTRI and SVRI were decreasad in different degree in both groups with significant increased in CI and SI in group Ⅱ. Conclusion:Induction and maintenance anes thesia with 1.0%-1.5% isoflurane and 40%-50% N_2O are suitable in patients with impaired cardiac function.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of acting κ opioid receptor for prevention of high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in rats.Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),hypobaric hypoxia group (group H),normal saline + hypobaric hypoxia group (group NH),U50488H (a selective kappa-opioid receptor agonist) + hypobaric hypoxia group (group UH),and nor-binaltorphimine (norBNI,a selective kappa-opioid receptor antagonist) + U50488H + hypobaric hypoxia group (group NUH).The rats were put into the hyperbaric chamber and exposed to hypobaric hypoxia (atmospheric pressure 355 mmHg,partial pressure of oxygen 74 mmHg) for 2 days to induce HAPE.At 3 days before HAPE,normal saline 0.5 ml,U50488H 1.25 mg/kg,and nor-BNI 2.0 mg/kg were injected intraperitoneally once a day in NH,UH,and NUH groups,respectively,and in addition U50488H 1.25 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally 10 min later in NUH group.After 2 h exposure to hypobaric hypoxia,mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was detected,and arterial blood samples were collected for determination of serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and erythropoietin (EPO) levels.The rats were then sacrificed and lungs were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of the levels of nitric oxide (NO),inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS),MDA,superoxide dismutase (SOD),endothelin-1 (ET-1),thromboxane B2 (TXB2),and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-keto-PGF1α) in lung tissues.Lung water content and TXB2/6-keto-PGF1α ratio was calculated.Results Compared with group C,mPAP,lung water content,ET-1,MDA,TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α levels,TXB2/6-ketoPGF1α ratio,and serum MDA and EPO levels were significantly increased,and iNOS,NO and SOD levels were decreased in the other four groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group H,mPAP,lung water content,ET-1,MDA,TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α levels,TXB2/6-ketoPGF1α ratio and serum MDA and EPO levels were significantly decreased,and iNOS,NO and SOD levels were increased in UH group (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant changes were found in the indexes mentioned above in NH and NUH groups (P ＞ 0.05).The pathological changes of lung tissues were significantly attenuated in group UH as compared with H group.Conclusion Acting κ opioid receptor can produce prevention for HAPE in rats,and inhibition of lipid peroxidation and correction of the imbalance between vasoconstrictive factors and vasodilative factors may be involved in the mechanism.
