Objective To study the effects of cytokines Th1 and Th2 in Class V lupus nephritis (V-LN). Methods Serum concentration of Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-1, IL-2 and TNF-α) and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13) were simultaneously analyzed using fast quant human Th1/Th2 protein array, and Pearson analysis was used to evaluate the association between cytokines and clinical parameters. Results ① Cytokine profiling: Among the 9 cytokines detected simultaneously by fast quant human Th1/Th2 protein array, the expression of four cytokines was up-regulated obviously, namely, Th1 cytokines (IL-2) and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13); that of IL-10 was 10 times above the normal control. ② Pearson correlation analysis: There was a positive correlation between IL-10 and SLEDAI (r=0.877, P<0.01), but a negative correlation between IL-10 and hemoglobin concentration (r=-0.856, P<0.01). There was also a negative correlation between IL-4 and 24h urine protein (r=-0.754, P<0.05), between IL-13 and 24h urine protein (r=-0.769, P<0.05). Besides, IL-1 and creatinine were positively correlated (r=0.784, P<0.05). Conclusion There were extensively abnormal Th2 cytokines in V-LN patients, suggesting that anti-Th2 therapy may produce a marked effect on V-LN.

Objective To obtain a global view of cytokine profile in lupus nephritis (LN), and to co-mpare the pattern of cytokine profile in patients with different renal lesions, primarily diffuse proliferative lupus nephritis (Ⅳ-LN) and membranous lupus nephritis (Ⅴ-LN). Methods Thirtypatients with biopsy proven active LN (class Ⅳ, n=15; class Ⅴ, n=15) and 15 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Serum conc-entration of Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-1, IL-2, and TNF-α) and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13) were simultaneously analyzed using Fast Quant Human Th1/Th2 protein array. Results ① Cytokine profiling: in patients with class Ⅳ-LN, the levels of most of the detected cytokines elevated marked compared to normal controls, including both Th1 (IL-2, INF-γ and TNF-α) and Th2 (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13) cytokines. Among them, both Th1 (INF-γ and TNF-α) and Th2 (IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13) cytokines were 10 times higher than normal controls. However, patients with class Ⅴ LN demonstrated a different cytokine pro-filing compared to class Ⅳ LN. Only 4 out of 9 cytokines were significantly increased. In addition to IL-2, all of those cytokines produced by Th2 (IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13) as well as IL-10 was 10 times higher than normal controls. The main difference of cytokines between patients with class Ⅳ LN and patients with class Ⅴ LN was among Th1 cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-2 and TNF-α). There was a significant correlation between clinical manifestations and cytokines in class Ⅳ LN, especially among Th2 cytokine. There was positive correlation between IL-5 and anti-dsDNA titer(r=0.708, P<0.05), IL-5 and creatinin(r=0.681, P<0.05) and IL-10 and SLEDAI scores (r=0.877, P<0.0 ). On the other hand, there was also negative correlation between some Th2 cytokines and clinical manifestations. There was negative correlation between IL-5 and complement C3 level (r=-0.643, P<0.05), IL-10 and proteinuria(r=-0.659, P<0.O5), IL-10 and hemoglobin level (r=-0.856, P<0.001), as well as IL-13 and proteinuria (r=-0.769, P<0.05). In addition, IL-1 was positive correlated with SLEDAI, while it was negatively correlated with bemoglobulin level. As for class Ⅴ LN, there was positive correlation between IL-1 and creatinin level (r=0.784, P<0.05), but negative correlation between IL-4 and proteinuria (r=-0.754, P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with class Ⅳ renal lesion have shown a broad changes of cytokine activity, while up-regulation of Th2 cytokines is more predominant in patients with class Ⅴ LN. These suggest that the expression of different cytokines may be associated with different patterns of lupus renal lesions. These findings may shed light on the further exploring of the underlying mechanisms that mediate different patterns of renal lesions, as well as designing a rational therapeutic strategy for the treatment of LN.

Objective To compare the curative effect of perindopril and metoprolol in the treatment of diabetic patients with asymptomatic cardiac insufficiency.Methods According to the method of random numbers, 152 diabetic patients with asymptomatic cardiac insufficiency were divided into the observation group and control group,with 76 cases in each group.The observation group was given with perindopril treatment,while control group was given with metoprolol treatment.The cardiac function index,glycosylated hemoglobin,BNP levels,the incidence of cardiac insufficiency and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions before and after treatment were compared.Results There were no significant differences in LVEF,Tei index and E/A between two groups before treatment (all P >0.05 ).Compared with before treatment,the cardiac function indexes of the two groups were significantly improved after treatment(t=5.96,4.83,4.91,10.22,5.68,5.18,all P<0.05),but the observation group were improved more significantly(t=5.64,4.67,5.03,all P<0.05).Before and after treatment,there was no significant difference in the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin(all P>0.05),and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(all P>0.05).The BNP levels of the observation group before and after the treatment were (515.43 ± 58.85)pg/mL and (214.43 ±32.42)pg/mL respectively,of which the control group were (513.94 ±59.11)pg/mL and (263.32 ±43.31)pg/mL respectively,and after treatment,the BNP levels of the two groups were significantly decreased(t=23.45,17.68,all P<0.05),of which the observation group decreased more obvious(t=6.97,P<0.05).The cardiac insufficiency incidence of the observation group was 3.95%,which was significantly lower than 14.47% of the control group(χ2 =5.03,P<0.05).The incidence of adverse drug reactions had no obvious differ-ences in both groups(χ2 =0.08,P>0.05).Conclusion Using perindopril in treatment of diabetic patients with asymptomatic heart function can obviously improve cardiac function,reduce the incidence of BNP and cardiac insuffi-ciency.It has the clinical curative effect and high safety.

Objective To investigate the possible protective effect of Shenqingyin Decoction on the kidney of experimental diabetic rats and its possible mechanism. Methods Totally 40 rats with diabetes induced by streptozocin were divided into 4 groups: diabetes model group, Shenqingyin group, Benopril group and Shenqingyin-Benopril combination group. After 8 weeks' treatment, blood glucose, renal function and 24h urine protein were measured, and malondialdehyde (MDA) in renal tissues and urine, superoxide diamutase (SOD) activity and serum transformed growth factor-β_1(TGF-β_1) were tested; renal pathological changes were observed with light microscope as well. Results The serum BUN, Scre of all medicine groups were significantly improved, which did not significantly differ from that in control group (P>0.05). However, it had no obvious improving effect on blood sugar. The content of 24h urine protein in all medicine groups was significantly lower than that in model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and Shenqingyin-Benopril combination group had the significantly lower level than the other two medicine groups (P<0.01). MDA in renal tissues and urine, SOD activity and serum TGF-β1 in all medicine groups significantly differed from those in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and Shenqingyin-Benopril combination group had obvious difference with the other two medicine groups (P<0.01). Light microscopy showed amelioration of different degree in renal pathological changes, but with no significant differences in all medicine groups. Conclusion Shenqingyin Decoction has a protective effect on the kidney of experimental diabetic rats, and it has some synergetic effect when combined with Benopril. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting oxidative stress, improving the body's antioxidant ability and decreasing the expression of inflammatory factor TGF-β_1.
