Objective To analyze the 5-year survival rate,causes of death and prognostic indicators of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 243 newly diagnosed SLE patients who Were admitted into our hospital from 1998 to 2005.The clinical features and serologic data were studied.Survival rate of SLE patients over time was studied by the Kaplan-Meier method,and prognostic indicators of mortality were studied by Cox proportional hazards models.Results The 1-,3- and 5-yr survival rate was 96%,94% and 91%,respectively.Renal failure and infection were the main causes of death,followed by lupus encephalotmthy and pulmonary hypertension.Cox regression analysis revealed that lupus nephritis and lupus encephalopathy at the diagnosis were independent risk determinants for mortality.However,age,sex,low C3 level,positive anti-dsDNA antibody,hematological abnormalities,lupus lung involvement and heart damages at diagnosis and immunosuppressant treatment had no strong association with survival.Conclusion Early diagnosis,control of SLE organ damage and infection prevention are critical to improve survival of SLE patients.

AIM: To investigate the influences of microRNA-126 on the curative effect of chemoradiotherapy and radiosensitivity of SGC-7901 cells.METHODS: The patients of gastric cancer (n=60) were selected in this study including 32 males and 28 females with the average age of (51±7) years.All patients received similar chemoradiotherapy strategy.The tissue and blood samples were collected during treatment.The short-term curative effect was evaluated by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), and the patients were divided into sensitive group and insensitive group.The microRNA-126 levels were detected by RT-qPCR.The SGC-7901 cells were maintained in vitro and transfected with microRNA-126 mimic.The plate colony formation assay was used to determine the enhancement effect of microRNA-126 on radiosensitivity of the SGC-7901 cells.The apoptotic rate of the SGC-7901 cells induced by microRNA-126 was analyzed by flow cytometry.RESULTS: According to the RECIST, 28 cases were defined as sensitive patients and 32 cases were the insensitive patients.Compared with the sensitive patients, the microRNA-126 levels both in blood and tissue samples were lowered in the insensitive patients, and the relative fold changes were 0.72±0.04 and 0.48±0.03, respectively (P<0.05).After transfection with microRNA-126 minic, the SF2 and D0 in the SGC-7901 cells were decreased with the SER of 1.74.Furthermore, microRNA-126 induced apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells and enhanced their radiosensitivity.CONCLUSION: The patients with low microRNA-126 level may suffer a poor curative effect of chemoradiotherapy on the gastric cancer.MicroRNA-126 has an enhancement effect on the radiosensitivity to the SGC-7901 cells.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of the collateral circulation formation in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods Three hundred and fifty-two patients with acute cerebral infarction were included in this study,the clinical date of their head and neck 256 slice spiral CT angiography (CTA)examination was analyzed.According to the formation of collateral circulation in the head and neck CTA imaging results,it is divided into the collateral circulation group and the non-collateral circulation group.The clinical data of the two groups were compared.The influencing factors of the formation of collateral circulation in patients with acute cerebral infarction were analyzed by single factor analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results (1)In 352 cases of acute cerebral infarction,197 cases(56.0%)had collaterals,155 cases (44.0%)had none collateral.(2)Single factor analysis showed that age(t=-2.860,P=0.004),hypertension combined with diabetes(χ2 = 10.709,P= 0.001),history of TIA(χ2 = 4.626,P= 0.034),low density lipoprotein(t=-2.176,P=0.030),high homocysteine(t=2.885,P=0.004),cerebral vascular stenosis(Z=-5.936,P=0.000),posterior circular lesions(χ2=8.548,P=0.004)were the influencing factors in the formation of collateral circulation.(3)Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that old age(OR=1.031;95%CI=1.008-1.054;P=0.007),hypertension combined with diabetes(OR= 2.009;95%CI=1.159-3.482;P=0.013),high homocysteine(OR=1.023;95%CI,1.005-1.041;P=0.014),circular lesions(OR=1.727;95%CI=1.063-2.804;P=0.027)were relatively independent risk factors in acute cerebral infarction patients with none circulation,the degree of cerebral vascular stenosis(OR=0.507;95%CI=0.389-0.661;P=0.000),low density lipoprotein(OR=0.723;95%CI=0.532-0.982;P=0.038)served as protective factor.Conclusion Old age,hypertension combined with diabetes,high homocysteine and posterior circulation lesions are risk factors for the formation of collateral circulation in patients with acute cerebral infarction,cerebral vascular stenosis degree and low density lipoprotein can promote the formation of collateral circulation.

Objective To study the value of 256 spiral CTA and DSA in diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and cerebral collateral circulation in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.Methods The imaging data of 256 spiral CTA and DSA in 30 AIS patients were retrospectively analyzed.The sensitivity,specificity and consistency of 256 spiral CTA and DSA in diagnosis of CAS and cerebral collateral circulation were compared.Results The consistency rate of 256 spiral CTA and DSA was 82.8% in diagnosis of CAS,especially in diagnosis of severe stenosis (κ=0.75).Cerebral collateral circulation was detected in 18 patients by 256 spiral CTA and in 19 patients by DSA with a consistency of 90 %.Cerebral collateral circulation was detected in 40 by CTA and in 43 by DSA out of the 330 collateral arteries with a high consistency (κ=0.925,0.894).Conclusion The consistency of 256 spiral CTA and DSA is very high in diagnosis of CAS and cerebral collateral circulation in AIS patients.
