Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2015;(4):533-536,537
Objective To explore the role of high mobility group box protein 1 ( HMGB1 ) and receptor for ad-vanced glycation endproducts( RAGE) in lupus nephritis( LN) . Methods The serum and urine levels of HMGB1 were detected by ELISA in SLE patients and normal controls, and intrarenal expressions of HMGB1 and RAGE were detected by immunohistochemistry in renal tissues of SLE patients and normal-appearing renal tissues. Results
The serum and urine levels of HMGB1 were significantly higher in SLE patients compared to healthy controls( P<0. 01 ) , in patients with active disease compared to those with inactive disease ( P <0. 05 ) , serum levels of HMGB1 were found to be significantly higher in patients with renal involvement compared to those without renal in-volvement(P<0. 05). In addition, the levels of serum HMGB1 showed positive correlation with SLEDAI,urine pro-tein(24 h) and lencocyte count (P <0. 05). The expression of urine HMGB1 showed positive correlation with SLEDAI ( P<0. 05 ) . Intermediate-intensity staining of HMGB1 and RAGE was detected in renal tubules in normal-appearing renal tissues, however, both renal tubules and glomerular cells had the strong expression of HMGB1 and RAGE in SLE patients. The intrarenal production of HMGB1 and RAGE in SLE patients was obviously higher than that in normal-appearing renal tissues(P<0. 05), and the expression levels of HMGB1 in SLE IV and IV+V were higher than those in SLE II ( P<0. 05 ) . The expression levels of RAGE in SLE IV were higher than those in SLE II(P<0. 05). Conclusion HMGB1 and RAGE may play key roles in the pathogenesis of LN and may associate with the pathology category of LN.

To investigate the nursing difference between abdominal aortic aneurysm patients undergone open surgery and endovascular graft exclusion, a comparative study was carried out in two groups of patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms ( n =148), either by open surgical approach( n =96) or by endovascular stented graft technology( n =52). Four problems were compared between the two groups: (1) time of hospitalization, (2) dependency on nursing, (3)mobility after surgery, and (4) analgesic requirements. Data were obtained from a designated data sheet.The perioperation condition of the patients had no difference between the two groups, the time of hospitalization, dependency on nursing, mobility after surgery, and analgesic requirements in the endovascular stent repair group was shortened obviously. Analysis of the data can help us optimize the nursing process for patients undergoing open surgery and endovascular graft exclusion.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of docetaxel combined with 5-fluorouracil in the treatment of pa-tients with advanced gastric cancer. Methods:Totally 84 cases of gastric cancer patients were randomly divided into group A and group B with 42 ones in each. Group A was given chemotherapy of docetaxel combined with 5-fluorouracil, and group B was treated with chemotherapy of Tegafur combined with docetaxel. One cycle was 21 days, and the patients were given at least two cycles of chemother-apy. The recent clinical curative effect, physical state improvement and adverse reactions in the two groups after the treatment were ob-served. Results:The total effective rate of the two groups showed no significant difference (P<0. 05), however, the physical state improvement rate of group A (40. 48%) was significantly higher than that of group B (20. 24%) with statistical significance (P<0. 05). The incidence of thrombocytopenia and neutropenia decrease of group A was significantly lower than that of group B with statis-tically significant difference (P<0. 05). Conclusion:The treatment of advanced gastric cancer patients with docetaxel combined with 5-fluorouracil can achieve significant clinical efficacy with relatively mild toxicity,it can significantly improve the physical state of pa-tient.

Objective: To investigate the function and IL 1ra gene expression of neutrophils in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: Gene expression was studied by reverse transcribe polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) from untreated neutrophils in healthy controls and HD patients. Phagocytosis and bactericidal assays decreased in the number of viable extracellular and intracellular bacteria by colony counts. Results: Freshly isolated neutrophils spontaneously expressed icIL 1ra, sIL 1ra mRNA in HD patients. Phagocytosis and intracellular killing of neutrophils in HD patients impaired obviously when exposed to staphylococcus aureus in comparison with healthy controls. Conclusion: Untreated neutrophils in HD patients spontaneously express icIL 1ra and sIL 1ra mRNA, which is consistent with the suppressed phagocytosis and intracellular killing capacity. [
