Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2017;52(1):113-116
Objective To investigate the expression of CD4+CDhi25CDlow127 regulatory T cells (Treg cell), IL-2, IL-10 and IFN-γin peripheral blood of patients with different TNM stages of non-small cell lung cancer( NSCLC) , and to evaluate their correlation. Methods The proportion of CD4+CDhi25 CDlow127 Treg cells to CD4+cell in peripheral blood of 55 NSCLC patients were determined by flow cytometry, and levels of IL-2, IL-10 and IFN-γ were measured by ELISA. The proportion of CD4+CDhi25 CDlow127 Treg cells, IL-2, IL-10 and IFN-γ of patients with different TNM stages of NSCLC were compared, and correlation analysis was carried on. Results The proportion of CD4+CDhi25 CDlow127 Treg cells increased obviously together with the increasing of TNM stages of NSCLC(P<0. 05),so did the level of IL-10 (P<0. 05). On the other hand, the level of IL-2 and IFN-γdecreased apparently with the increasing of TNM sta-ges of NSCLC(P<0. 05). CD4+CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells and IL-10 were positively correlated(P <0. 05). IL-2 and IFN-γ were positively correlated too(P<0. 05). CD4+CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells and IL-10 were all negatively correlated with IL-2 and IFN-γ(P<0. 05). Conclusion The increasing of CD4+ CDhi25CDlow127Treg cells and IL-10 and the de-creasing of IL-2 and IFN-γ are possibly one of the reasons of antitumor immunity suppression in terminal NSCLC patients. The surveillance for them can be reference indicators to evaluate antitumor immunity status of terminal lung cancer patients.

China Pharmacy 2016;27(26):3652-3654,3655
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of alendronte sodium and vitamin D3 on the T cell immune indexes in patients with different genders and ages with advanced lung cancer. METHODS:76 patients with advanced lung cancer were divided into non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)group(n=40)and small cell lung cancer(SCLC)group(n=36),and another 38 healthy vol-unteers were control group. Based on palliative care,all patients received Alendronte sodium and vitamin D3 tablet 1 tablet,po,qd, for 1 month. T cell immune indexes(CD4+,CD8+and Treg levels)in 2 groups before and after treatment,and when volunteers enroll-ing the control group were compared;and the incidence of adverse reactions were observed. RESULTS:Compared with control group,there were significant differences in CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+and Treg levels(P<0.05);but there was no significant differ-ence between NSCLC group and SCLC group(P>0.05). After treatment,CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels in NSCLC group and SCLC group increased,changes of male were greater than female,CD8+and Treg levels decreased,changes of male were greater than fe-male,except for CD8+ level in NSCLC group (P=0.33),there were significant differences in others (P<0.05);CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ levels in patients ≤50 years old increased more than patients >50 years old,CD8+ and Treg levels decreased more than pa-tients >50 years old,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). No obvious adverse reactions were found. CONCLU-SIONS:Alendronte sodium and vitamin D3 can effectively improve the T cell immune indexes in patients with advanced lung cancer, especially for male and patients≤50 years old,which can be considered as conventional adjuvant drugs for patients with lung cancer.

objective To explore a new method of repairing skin defects complicated with fracture and tendon rupture at the middle and distal sections of the second to fifth fingers. Methods The reversed dorsal metacarpal island flap was designed to be pedicled on the digital proper artery-common digital artery-fingerweb artery-dorsal metacarpal artery-cutaneous branch of dorsal metacarpal artery.In repairing digital palmar skin defects,after the flap was dissected,the proximal incision was extended along the direction of dorsal metacarpal nerve to harvest an enough length of the nerve so that the dorsal metacrppal nerve can be anastomosed with the digital proper nerve to restore the sensation of finger pulp.From the June 2003 to March 2009,the flap was used to repair 26 fingers in 24 patients with middle and distal digital skin defects complicated with fracture and tendon rupture.They were 17 men and 7 women,aged from 16 to 63 years (average,37 years).There were 15 cases of palmar skin defect and 9 cases of dorsal skin defect.In the 2 cases of combined tendon defects,a section of the extensor tendon of index(or little) finger was dissected together with the flap to repair the tendon rupture. Results The areas of the flap ranged from 3.1 cm ×1.6 cm to 6.0 cm × 4.0 cm.The flaps survived in all 24 cases without any vascular crisis.Twenty-two patients obtained an average follow-up of 14 months (from 4 to 32 months) but 2 were lost to the follow-up.The flaps were fine in texture,colour and appearance.The finger pulps appeared full and recovered sensations of pain and temperature.The average two-point discrimination was 7.5 mm (from 5 to 9 mm).Sensory function evaluation revealed an outcome of S3 + ~ S4.Tendon adhesion occurred in 4 cases which recovered digital function following secondary lysis 3 to 6 months postoperation. Conclusion Application of the reversed dorsal metacarpal island flap pedicled on the digital proper artery is a good way to repair skin defects complicated with fracture and tendon rupture at the middle and distal sections of the second to fifth fingers.

Objective:To explore the effects of sulforaphane (SFN), an activator of Nrf2, on anxiety and fear memory in Alzheimer's disease(AD) model mice and mechanism.Methods:The AD mice and wild type (WT) mice with the same background were randomly divided into four groups ( n=12 for each group): wild type + normal saline group (WT+ NS), wild type + sulforaphane (WT+ SFN), AD model + normal saline group (AD+ NS) and AD model + sulforaphane group (AD+ SFN). SFN was dissolved in normal saline (0.9% NaCl) and prepared solution with concentration of 1 g/L.According to body weight, mice in WT+ SFN group and AD+ SFN group were intraperitoneally injected with SFN (10 mg/kg), and mice in WT+ NS group and AD+ NS group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of normal saline once a day for 30 days.The open field test was used to detect the autonomous exploration ability and anxious behavior of mice.The elevated cross maze was used to detect the anxiety of mice.Conditional fear test was used to test the fear memory behavior of mice.Finally, the expression of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex were detected by ELISA.Two-way ANOVA analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2 software. Results:In the open field test, the percentage of time in central region in AD+ SFN group ((9.99+ 0.37)%) was higher than that of AD+ NS group ((8.47+ 0.42)%) ( q=3.842, P<0.05). In the elevated cross maze, the percentage of time in open arm of AD+ SFN group ((26.2±1.6)%) was higher than that in AD+ NS group ((15.8±1.0)%) ( q=7.452, P<0.01). In the conditional fear test, all the mice of the four groups developed the fear memory, but AD+ SFN group showed higher freezing time ratio ((64.5±3.8)%) than AD+ NS group ((51.0±4.3)%)( q=5.266, P<0.01) in the testing stage.After SFN intervention, the important indicator of oxidative stress, the expression levels of SOD in hippocampus ( q=6.370, P<0.01) and cortex ( q=7.858, P<0.01) of AD mice increased, while the level of MDA in hippocampus ( q=5.146, P<0.05) and cortex ( q=5.833, P<0.01) decreased. Conclusion:SFN may inhibit oxidative stress through Nrf2 pathway, thereby improving anxiety and fear memory in AD mice.
