Objective To investigate the clinical features and mechanism and feasibility of plasma exchange (PE) in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods A retrospective analysis of SLE associated with AP was done based on the HIS in Tongji Hospital. Totally 24 SLEAP patients were admitted to Tongji hospital from March 2006 to May 2014. Patientsˊ serum amylase, lipase and interleukin (IL)-6 concentration were measured before and after plasma exchange. According to different therapy strategy, patients were divided into two groups. Fifteen patients treated with plasma exchange combination with glucocorticosteroid (GC) were classified as Group A, the other 9 patients who were treated with GC only were classified as group B. At baseline and after treatment, the serum lipid concentration, average daily glucocorticosteroid dosage between group A and B were compared with ANOVA and serum IL-6 concentration between roup A and B were compared with Wilcoxon rank test. Results SLEDAI score in group A patients at baseline (16 ±5) was no statistically different from that in group B (18 ±4) (t=1.31, P=0.320). Average daily GC dosage in group A 31.0 (20.50, 30.08)mg/d was significantly less than that in group B 47.85 (45.58, 59.23) mg/d (Z=35.50, P= 0.002). Serum IL-6 levels in group A and B at baseline was not significantly different 13.14 (11.12,16.57) mg/L vs 14.63 (11.37, 16.37) mg/L (Z=12.20, P=0.300), after 2 weeks treatment, IL-6 level, which was 9.16 (7.93, 10.75) mg/L, decreased significantly in group A while it didnˊt show tendency of decrease in group B, which was 13.62(9.29, 17.63) mg/L (Z=28.50, P=0.039). Serum lipid concentration after 2 weeks therapy in Group A [TC=(5.02 ±0.53) mmol/L, TG=(1.46 ±0.44) mmol/L] decreased significantly compared to baseline [TC=(6.11±0.50) mmol/L, TG=(2.14±0.65) mmol/L] (F=4.46, P=0.010; F=6.09, P=0.002), while similar tendency wasnˊt observed in group B (F=1.57, P>0.05). Conclusion PE combined with GC could lower serum IL-6 levels, reduce the amount of GC and lower serum lipid to improve prognosis. Therefore it might be a safe and effective way and is worthy of continuing to explore its feasibility.

Objective :
To study the effect of lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) -induced immune system activation on syn- aptic structure and DISC1.
Methods :
40 rats were divided into 4 groups,which were PBS group,PBS + MK-801 group,LPS group and LPS + MK-801 group.The rats in LPS group and LPS + MK-801 group were administrated with LPS solution (0. 2 mg / kg,i.p.BIW) for 6 times in total, the rats in PBS group and PBS + MK801 group were administrated with PBS.At the third time when the rats were administrated with LPS solution,the rats in PBS + MK-801 group and LPS + MK-801 group were administrated with MK-801 solution (0. 5 mg / kg,i.p.BIW) for a total of 4 times,the rats in PBS group and LPS group were adminis- trated with saline.The head shaking and the open field tests were then evaluated in the rats.Immediately,the rats were sacrificed,and their brain were saved for testing. RT-qPCR , Golgi staining,immunohistochemistry and ELISA kits were used to detect DISC1 gene expression,dendritic spine status,microglia activation and inflammatory cytokine content in cortex,respectively. gene expression in the cortex of rats with schizophrenia.
Results :
Compared with the PBS group,the expression of DISC1 gene of the rats in the PBS + MK-801 group increased (P <0. 01) ,the score of head shaking increased (P <0. 01) ,and the distance of the open field increased (P <0. 000 1) ; As well as the LPS + MK-801 group,compared with the LPS group,the expression of DISC1 gene increased (P<0. 000 1) ,the head shaking score and the distance of the open field increased (P<0. 000 1) . In addition,compared with the PBS + MK-801 group,the expression of DISC1 gene, the shaking head score and the open field distance of the LPS + MK-801 group further improved (P <0. 000 1) . Furthermore,compared with PBS group and PBS + MK-801 group,the content of iba1 in the cortex of LPS group and LPS + MK-801 group significantly increased (P <0. 05 ) ,the content of inflammatory cytokines significantly increased (P<0. 05) ,and the length and density of dendritic spines significantly decreased (P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
The activation of the immune system induced by LPS can contribute to the susceptibility of schizophrenia model, and the possible mechanism is that it cooperates with MK-801 to increase the expression of DISC1 gene,which ulti- mately leads to abnormal mental behavior in rats.
