It is increasingly evident that sepsis triggers a complex host reaction, which is responsible for a variety of pathophysiologic changes during the inflammatory process. Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a methyxanthine with selective anti inflammatory activity. The effects and mechanisms of PTX in human and animal models of sepsis are reviewed, for providing new information in treatment of sepsis.

Objective:To explore the role and mechanism of 4-1BBL and B7-1 molecules in the activation and proliferation of human peripheral blood T lymphocyte. Methods:T lymphocyte was purified by magnetic beads negative selecting. The proliferation of T cells in primary allogenic MLR was evaluated by using 3H-TdR incorporation; The immunophenotype of T cells was analyzed by FACS and the quantitative measurement of IL-2 in culture supernatant were performed by ELISA.Results:After negative selection, the purity of CD3+ T cells was over 90%; 4-1BBL and B7-1 molecules stably expressed on XG cells after 4-1BBL and B7-1 cDNA transfection; 4-1BBL or B7-1 gene transfected XG cells could more effectively mediate the activation, proliferation and IL-2 secretion of T cells than XG cells did, and the results also showed that the costimulatory molecules had a co-activating effect on T cells.Conclusion:Human multiple myeloma cells failed to induced antitumor immunoresponse because of the lack or weak expression of costimulatory molecules. The costimulatory molecules of 4-1BBL and B7-1 has a synthetic effect on endowing myeloma cells with enhancing the activation、proliferation and IL-2 secretion of T cells in vitro. [

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,neuron-specific enolase (NSE)and the degree of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods Forty-six HIE patients in acute and convalescent stage and 30 full-term newborn infant were enrolled in this study.The level of serum of TNF-α and NSE were detected.The relationship between TNF-α,NSE level and severity of HIE was analyzed.Results The level of serum TNF-α and NSE in acute stage of HIE group were (156.3 ± 28.8) ng/L and (21.5 ± 3.6) μg/L,in convalescent stage of HIE group were (80.7 ± 26.1) ng/L and (10.6 ± 1.7) μ g/L,and in control group were (76.3 ± 24.4) ng/L and (9.4 ± 1.6) μ g/L.The level of serum TNF-α and NSE in acute stage of HIE group were significantly higher than those in convalescent stage of HIE group and control group (P ＜ 0.05).The level of serum TNF-α and NSE in convalescent stage of HIE group had no significant difference compared with those in control group (P ＞ 0.05).The level of serum TNF-α and NSE in mild HIE group were (88.5 ± 25.6) ng/L and (9.7 ± 2.4) μ g/L,in moderate HIE group were (150.1 ± 16.5) ng/L and (17.8 ± 3.6) μ g/L,and in severe HIE group were (197.3 ± 30.2) ng/L and (23.6 ±4.3) μg/L.The level of TNF-αand NSE were increased with the aggravation of HIE and there had significant difference among different degree of HIE(P ＜ 0.05).The level of serum TNF-α and NSE in mild HIE group and control group had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05),and there had significant difference between moderate HIE group,severe HIE group and control group (P ＜ 0.05).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that the level of TNF-α and NSE had positive correlation with the degree of HIE (r =0.54,0.57,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the level of TNF-α had positive correlation with the level of NSE (r =0.46,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The variation of TNF-α and NSE level in HIE newborn infant is parallel to the severity of the disease,which can sensitively reflect the severity of HIE.Therefore,TNF-α and NSE may be used as vital indexes for the evaluation of the severity of HIE.

OBJECTIVE:To comprehend the causes for adverse drug reactions (ADR)associated with the traditional Chinese medicine injections in order to improve therapeutic safety.METHODS:Through tracking visits and retrospective study of patient cases,100 control cases and 93 ADR cases are analyzed in terms of medicine,patient,prescribing and nursing,both by single-factor and multi-factor approach.RESULTS:The main causes of ADR associated with traditional Chinese medicine injections are:overdosing,combined administration of drugs,longer-than-required time gap between dispensing and transfusion,failure to do pre-dosing liver or kidney function checkup,irrelevance of indication,lack of detailed instruction about way of administration and dosing,and lack of remarks on pharmacological action.CONCLUSION:It’s vitally important to improve prescribing and nursing behaviors for the sake of enhanced safety of clinical use of drugs.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics and the prevention of traditional Chinese medicine-induced death. METHODS: The traditional Chinese medicine-induced death cases from 1994 to 2006 collected by retrieving full-text data base of CHKD were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: Of the total traditional Chinese medicine-induced death cases, drugs were chiefly administered by intravenous drip and oral administration, and allergic shock was the chief death causes. CONCLUSION: Clinicians and pharmacists should attach great importance on the ADRs induced by traditional Chinese medicines to ensure safe and effective drug use.

Objective To improve the clinical prognosis of patients by reviewing ten years epidemiology data of acute poisoning inpatients.Methods The epidemiology data of the acute poisoning inpatients from 2006-2015 were retrospectively analyzed.The indexes including age,gender,nationality,geographical distribution,substance of poison,seasons,diagnosis and fee-for-service were collected.Results There were 1 083 patients with acute poisoning in total,624 cases (57.6％) for gas poisoning,213 cases (19.7％) for pesticide poisoning,136 cases (12.6％) for drug poisoning,74 cases (6.8％) for food poisoning and 36 cases for others.The ration of male to female was 0.94:1.The age of 31 to 45 range accounted for the highest proportion.The incidence of poisoning in 2011-2015 was significantly higher than that in 2006-2010 (P ＜0.05).The geographical distribution was also significantly different (P ＜0.05),most of the cases were in Shihezi city,then were Manasi and Sawan counties.Among the 1 083 patients,59％ cases were cured,33.6％ cases were improved after treatment,and the mortality rate was 2.6％.Feefor-service was also significantly increased in the older patients or males,and substance of poisoning dependent.The highest treatment cost was carbon monoxide poisoning,then were pesticide,drugs and food.Conclusions The common causes of poisoning in Shihezi city were carbon monoxide,organophosphorus pesticide,botulism and drugs,more emergency medical service should prevent poisoning and treat these patients.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of Rhodiola total flavonoids on transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-induced proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts (CFB) in the rats, and to explore its mechanisms of improving myocardial fibrosis.Methods 5 μg·L-1 TGF-β1 was used to induce the proliferation of CFB to build the cell models of myocardial fibrosis.The cultured CFB were divided into control group,model group,and low, medium,high doses (25,50 and 100 mg· L-1 )of Rhodiola total flavonoids groups.The cells were treated for 48 h,the vitalities of cells were detected by MTT,the levels of collagen proteinⅠ (ColⅠ)and collagen proteinⅢ(Col Ⅲ)in supernatant were measured by ELISA,and the activities of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)were detected,the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA)and glutathione (GSH) were also measured.Results The MTT results indicated that compared with control group,the cell vitality in model group was significantly increased (P < 0.01 ).compared with model group,the cell vitalities of CFB in Rhodiola total flavonoids groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05 ). Compared with control group, the T-SOD activity in model group was decreased, while the MDA level was significantly increased (P <0.05);compared with model group,the T-SOD activities in 50 and 100 mg· L-1 Rhodiola total flavonoids groups were increased (P <0.01);the MDA levels in 25 and 50 mg· L-1 groups were decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Compared with control group,the GSH-Px activity and GSH level in model group were significantly decreased (P <0.01).Compared with model group,the GSH-Px activities and GSH levels in Rhodiola total flavonoids groups were increased (P <0.05).Compared with control group,the ColⅠand Col Ⅲ levels in model group were significantly increased (P <0.01);compared with model group,the ColⅠand Col Ⅲ levels in Rhodiola total flavonoids groups were significantly decreased (P <0.05).Conclusion Rhodiola total flavonoids can inhibit the proliferation of rat CFB.The development of myocardial fibrosis may be inhibited by Rhodiola total flavonoids through anti-oxidative stress pathway.
