Obiective To study the relationship between the burden of Pneumocystis carinii (P.cadninii) and the inflammatory reaction and biochemical markers in bronchoalveotar lavage fluids (BAL.F)in a rat model of p. carirnii pneumonia (PCP). Methods Clean grade 50 male Sprague-Dawley rats were immunosuppressed by a subcutaneous injection of 25mg cortisone acetate twice a week for 8-12 weeks; the PCP model was successfully induced in 14 rats. The inflammatory reaction and biochemical markers of the activity of lactate dehydrogenass (LDH), alknline phosphatase(ALP) end type Ⅳ collagenase(matrix metalloproteinases, MMP-2,MMP-9) as well as the values of total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) in BALF between the mild burden group of P. caninii (involved alveoli<25% per 100 alveoli,Group A) and the moderate to severe burden group (involved alveoli≥25% per 100 alveoli, Group B)were measured. The other six clean grade SD rata served es normal control group (Group C). Results The total white cell count in BALF=was higher in Group B [(6.8±1.7)×106/L] than in Group A [(3.8±1.2)×106/L] (P<0.01);however, there were no differences in white cell differentiation.Assays of biochemical markers showed that ALB in BALF in Group B (0.893±0.469 g/L) was increased in companison with Group A (0.262±0.169 g/L); it was only 0.026±0.021 g/L in Group C. The contents of TP and activities of LDH were higher in Group B (TP 1.756±0.706 g/L, LDH 2580±550 U/L) than inGroup A (TP 0.784±0.553 g/L, LDH 1410±620 U/L); the values of TP and LDH were 0.063±0.020 g/L and 370±250 U/L respectively in Group C.The activity of Type IV collagenase, including MMP-2 and MMP-9, was higher in Group B than in Group A ( P<0.01) (MMP-2: 1102±169 grey value vs 459±274 grey valce; MMP-9: 1218±257 grey value vs 449±225 grey value).There was no activity of Type IV cellagenase in BALF of Group C. No statistically significant difference was obselved in ALP between the groups B and A. Conclusions These results indicate that there is a significant correlation between the burden of P. carinii in lung tissues and the irlflammatory reaction as well as biochemical markers of the rasultant aotivity of lung injury.

Objective To understand the interaction between surfactant proteins and pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP),and the impact of corticosteriods on surfactant proteins.Methods We established rat models of PCP and bacterial pneumonia induced by subcutaneous injection of 25mg cortisone acetate.At 8- 12 wk,the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)of rats was collected.Total nucleated cells of BALF were counted and differentiated,and the concentrations of surfactant protein A(SP-A)and surfactant protein D(SP-D)were measured by immunoblotting assay.The rats were divided into three immunosuppressive groups and a normal control group.Group I,normal control(n = 6),consisted of healthy SD rats;group Ⅱ,negative control(n = 6),consisted of rats with cortisone acetate injection for over 8 wk without lung infection;group Ⅲ,bacterial pneumonia(n = 11),rats were injected with cortisone acetate over 8 wk that resulted in bacterial pneumonia without other pathogens isolated;and group Ⅳ,PCP(n = 14),rats with injected cortisone acetate for 8 - 12 wk and developed PCP without other pathogens isolated.Results Our results indicated that the total cell count in BALF in the negative control group was lower than that in the normal control group(P < 0.001).During PCP infection,the total cell count and the percentage of polymorphonuclearcytes(PMNs)in BALF were significantly increased(P < 0.01),but were lower than those in the bacterial pneumonia group.The concentration of SP-A of BALF in PCP(45.1 ± 22.1 μg/ml)was significantly increased in comparison with that in the negative control(16.2 ± 9.9 μg/ml,P < 0.05)and bacterial pneumonia groups(6.2 ± 5.6 μg/ml,P < 0.001).We also found that the relative content of SP-D was significantly higher in PCP(24249 ±4780 grey values)than that in the negative control (13 384 ± 2887 grey values,P < 0.001)and that in bacterial pneumonia(11 989 ± 2750 grey values,P<0.001).SP-A and SP-D were also higher in the moderate to heavy group of PCP than those seen in the mild group(P < 0.01,P < 0.001).SP-A and SP-D were higher in the negative control group than those in the normal control group,but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups.Conclusion These results suggest that the concentrations of SP-A and SP-D in BALF are increased by pneumocystis carinii specific stimulation,but the alteration is not related to the corticosteriod usage.

Objective To further elucidate the CT characteristics and diagnostic approaches to non-acquired immune deficiency syndrome patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis. Methods The histories of forty-two pulmonary cryptococcosis (PC) patients diagnosed in Zhongshan Hospital from 2003 -2008 were collected and analyzed for demography data, underlying conditions, clinical symptoms, chest CT and diagnostic studies. Results None of the 42 PC patients had avian or its feces contacting history, and 71.4% (30/42) of them were immunocompetent. The most frequent CT lesions were multiple nodules (67. 9% ) with peripheral predominance (67. 9% ), and cavitations (50%) often presented within them. Masses/consolidation (31.4%) and patching lesions (2. 9% ) could exist occassionally. Positive detection rates of non-aggressive examinations including sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and bronchofibroscope aspiration were 4. 3%, 8. 3% and 6. 3% respectively, while those of aggressive approaches including transbrunchial lung biopsy (TBLB), thin needle aspiration biopsy (TNAB) and pneumonectomy by surgery were 64. 7%, 64. 3% and 100% respectively. Non-aggressive serum cryptococcus antigen test was performed in 14 patients who had been diagnosed by histopathology or pathogen culture, and all of them were positive. Conclusion Our study suggests that PC is common in immunocompetent population. Avian or its feces contacting is not so important as used opinion to PC differential diagnosis. CT characteristics of PC are diversiform and always change very slowly. Besides the most frequent multiple nodules with subpleural predominance, pulmonary lesions can present as masses, consolidation or patchings. Aggressive techniques such as TBLB and TNAB are benefit to clinical diagnosis of PC, and non-aggressive serum cryptococcus antigen test may be promising for its early diagnosis as well as clinical course follow-up and therapeutic effect evaluation.

Objective To investigate the gestational weight gain and quality of life in women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) who used Free-Style Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System. Methods From August of 2017 to January of 2019, the GDM patients diagnosed in the Department of Endocrinology in 3 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Guangzhou were selected and divided into the observation group(n=39) and control group(n=43) according to their glucose monitoring willingness. The Free-Style Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System was used for the observation group(sensor changed every 14 days) combined with the fingertip blood glucose monitor, it was necessary to monitor fingertip blood glucose contrast when hypoglycemia was identified by sensors. Pregnant women at other monitoring points could selectively monitor fasting and postprandial blood glucose. In the control group, after assigned into the group patients only monitored their fingertip blood glucose(at lease 2 times/d, including fasting and 2h postprandial blood glucose). The two groups were all instructed by self-management on diet, exercise etc according to the result of blood glucose monitor, the Wechat management was included to instruct them of the daily life diary recording method. World Health Organization-5 Well-Being Index (WHO-5) was adopted at the beginning of the study and the second week of follow-up to investigate the well-being index score of the patients in the two groups; at the end of pregnancy, the average perinatal blood sugar level, incidence of hypoglycemia events and the eligible rate of weight gain in different BMI patients were recorded. Results At the 2nd week, the score of well-being index in the observation group was higher than that in the control group with statistical significance(P=0.037).There was no statistically significant difference in fasting and 2 h postprandial glucose between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in blood sugar control (fasting and 2 hours after meal) between the two groups (P>0.05), but the detection rate of hypoglycemia in the group using Free-style Libre glucose monitoring system was higher than that in the control group (P=0.042). By the end of pregnancy, stratified analysis showed that the qualified rate of weight gain in the observation group with BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m2 before pregnancy was higher than that in the control group with statistical significance(P=0.035). Conclusions The use of Free- Style Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring System in GDM patients makes gestational weight control more reasonable and painless, and improves the well-being index of patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the influence of Xiaoai Jiedu prescription (XJP)-containing serum on natural killer (NK) cells′ lethal effect on colon cancer cells and the molecular mechanism. MethodXJP-containing serum (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%) was used to treat HCT-116 cells and NK-92MI cells respectively for 24 h, and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was employed to detect cell proliferation. Then, low-concentration (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%) XJP-containing serum was selected to treat co-cultured HCT-116 cells and NK-92MI cells for 24 h and calcein acetoxymethyl ester/propidium iodide (Calcein-AM/PI) was applied to detect the killing effect of NK cells on colon cancer cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis of colon cancer cells, Western blot the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) pathway-related proteins, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) the secretion of interferon (IFN)-γ. ResultHigh-concentration (5%, 10%) XJP-containing serum inhibited the proliferation of HCT-116 and NK-92MI cells (P<0.01), while low-concentration (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%) XJP-containing serum had no obvious influence on cell proliferation compared with the blank group. As compared with the blank group, low-concentration XJP-containing serum enhanced the killing activity of NK cells against colon cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.01), and induced apoptosis of colon cancer cells (P<0.01). Moreover, XJP-containing serum (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%) down-regulated the expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xl), and up-regulated the expression of Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) compared with the blank group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the co-culture group, XJP-containing serum (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%) increased the expression of p-STAT4 and IFN-γ (P<0.05). ELISA result showed that XJP-containing serum (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%) raised IFN-γ secretion (P<0.01). ConclusionXJP-containing serum can enhance the activity of NK cells to kill colon cancer cells. The mechanism is the likelihood that it activates STAT4 pathway, increases IFN-γ secretion by NK cells, down-regulates the expression of Bcl-xl and Bcl-2, and up-regulates the expression of Bax, thereby promoting the apoptosis of colon cancer cells.
