International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2014;(11):1379-1381
Objective To explore the antagonistic effect of Schistosoma japonicum soluble adult worm antigen (SWA)and solu-ble egg antigen (SEA)in the mice with type 1 diabetes.Methods The 24 successful modeling type 1 diabetes mice were randomly divided into three groups (A,B,C group,n=8).SWA and SEA of Schistosoma japonicum were prepared.Mice in A group were immunized by abdominal subcutaneous multi-point injection SWA.Mice in B group were immunized by abdominal subcutaneous multi-point injection SEA.And mice models of C group were immunized by PBS instead of antigen through abdominal subcutaneous injection.The mice got immunization once a week,a total of four times.4 weeks later,the mice were sacrificed,and serum speci-mens were collected for the determination of serum levels of IL-4 and IFN-γby double-antibody sandwich ELISA,while pancreas tissues were collected and the pathological changes were observed.Results The serum IL-4 level of B group [(23.87 ±4.85)pg/mL]was higher than C group [(4.39 ± 0.56 )pg/mL],with significant differences (P < 0.01 ),while the serum IFN-γ level [(271.85±26.04)pg/mL]was lower than C group [(362.79 ±32.50)pg/mL],also with significant differences (P <0.01).The serum IL-4 and IFN-γof A group were (5.09±0.37)pg/mL and (379.56±34.47)pg/mL,which had no difference with C group (P >0.05).The islet structure of mice in B group was not intact,however,the lymphocytic infiltration in B group was less than C group,and there was no lymphocytic infiltration in pancreatic islets in B group.Compared with C group,the pancreas of mice in A group did not have significant changes,lymphocytes infiltration was still visible in islets.The number of residual islet cells de-creased,and visible minority islet structure was destroyed.Conclusion SEA of Schistosoma japonicum has certain antagonism effect on type 1 diabetes in experimental mice.Its mechanism may be the reduction of Th1 response and the enhancement of Th2 response through increasing IL-4 level and decreasing IFN-γlevel.

Objective To investigate the applicative value of enhanced 3D multi-echo GRE T2*-weighted angiography(ESWAN) sequence phase values in evaluating brain gray nuclei iron content in idiopathic restless legs syndrome(RLS) patients, providing imaging basis in diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic RLS. Methods In our institute from June 2012 to September 2016,forty-five RLS patients were selected as the RLS group, and 45 healthy volunteers as the control group. ESWAN sequence was performed and serum ferritin values were obtained in all patients and volunteers. The raw data of ESWAN was postprocessed , where the phase maps were obtained. Phase analysis was performed on localized brain gray nuclei regions of interest (substantia nigra, red nucleus, dentate nucleus, thalamus, pallidum, putamen and caudate nucleus ) selected on phase maps. Differences between the 2 subject groups were evaluated using ANCOVA including age as a covariate. Results The phase values of the substantia nigra, thalamus, pallidum and putamen in the RLS group were (-0.087 ± 0.021), (-0.053 ± 0.012), (-0.161 ± 0.008), (-0.125 ± 0.019) radians , respectively. The phase values of the substantia nigra, thalamus, pallidum and putamen in the control group were (-0.127 ± 0.007), (-0.066 ± 0.007), (-0.166 ± 0.007), (-0.150 ± 0.010) radians, respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups (F=142.492, 37.988, 10.558, 60.725;P<0.05). Indicating reduced iron content in several regions of brain gray nuclei of the patients with RLS. Serum ferritin concentration between the RLS patients (157.02±95.78)μg/L and healthy controls (175.49 ± 38.65)μg/L was not significant (F=1.353,P>0.05). Conclusions Phase values can make a quantitative assessment of brain gray nuclei iron content in RLS patients, our results supported the hypothesis of reduced brain iron content in RLS patents , which may have an important role in the pathogenesis of the disorder. However, iron content change in some brain regions was not correlated with serum ferritin concentration changes.

Objective To investigate the mastery of clinical students' doctor-patient communi-cation skills and to assess the teaching effectiveness about the doctor-patient communication, and then propose some improvement ideas. Methods We conducted a study in students of clinical medicine of Nanjing Medical University in Grade 2009, using Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) after internship, which included graduation assessment of doctor-patient communication skills. Then we analyzed the doctor-patient communication skills and related scores of students trained in different clinical medical programs. Results The average score of doctor-patient communication skills of 549 students was (82.72±4.23), of which, the average score of 329 five-year students of clinical medicine was (81.88±4.23) and the average score of seven-year students was (83.96±3.91) in. The average score of seven-year students of clinical medicine was significantly higher than five-year students (P=0.000). Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between the total score of OSCE and the score of doctor-patient communication skills in both five-year and seven-year students of clinical medicine (five year program students' score correlation coefficient was 0.520, P=0.000;seven year pro-gram students' score correlation coefficient 0.416, P=0.000). Conclusion The teaching effectiveness of doctor-patient communication has proved to be quite effective, and it is definitely of great significance in improving clinical students' doctor-patient communication skills. The score of the assessment of the doctor-patient communication reflects not only the training effectiveness of the communication skills, but also the comprehensive capacity.

Objective To observe the effects and safety of rapamycin (Rap) in combination with cyclosporine A (CsA) and steroid (Pred) as triple regimen for prevention of acute rejection after renal transplantation.Methods Fifty patients with de novo cadaveric kidney allograft were randomized into two groups. In the study group there were 30 patients treated with Rap, CsA, and Pred, while in the control group there were 20 patients with conventional triple therapy of azathioprine (Aza), CsA, and Pred. Same dosages of CsA and Pred were used in both groups. Any adverse event after treatment was observed and recorded in detail. The laboratory investigations were checked and analyzed periodically.Results The pre-protocol population included 26 patients in study group and 18 patients in control group. The 2-year patient and graft survival rates in both groups were 100 %. The incidence of acute rejection was 3.7 % (1/27) in study group, 25 % (5/20) in control group, respectively. All episodes of acute rejection were reversed by methylprednisolone. The trough levels of CsA kept same in both groups, but CsA dose in study group was lower than that in control group. Blood concentrations of total cholesterol and triglyceride in study group were higher than those in control group. Conclusion Rap is an effective and safe immunosuppressive drug for prevention of acute rejection after renal transplantation. Rap combined with CsA allows reducing the dose of CsA. But its main side effect is hyperlipidemia.
