Objective To discuss the role of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenas e (IDO) and tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TTS) mediated tryptophan catabolism in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients treated with high doses of dexamethasone through the expressions of IDO and TTS in T cells , and the concentrations of plasma kynurenine and tryptophan. Methods 20 newly diagnosed or relapse ITP patients were treated with 40 mg/d × 4 d dose of dexamethasone. The heparin anticoagulant blood samples were obtained before treatment and the 5th day after treatment. 20 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The IDO and TTS expressions in CD4+and CD8+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The concentrations of plasma kynurenine and tryptophan were detected by liquid-mass spectrometry system. Results Compared with healthy controls group, the plasma tryptophan and kynurenine concentration and the ratio of Kyn/Trp were significantly elevated in ITP patients (P <0.05); the IDO expressions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in ITP patients were significantly lower than those in healthy controls (P < 0.05), but the TTS expressions were significantly higher (P < 0.05). The concentration of tryptophan in effective group was significantly lower than before treatment (P < 0.05), in contrast, the kynurenine concentration and the ratio of Kyn/Trp were significantly higher than before (P < 0.05). The expression of IDO in effective group were significantly higher than that before treatment (P < 0.05), conversely, the expression of TTS in effective group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). No significant difference can be found in ineffective group. Conclusion IDO/TTS-mediated tryptophan catabolism pathway could indicate the onset of ITP. The sensitivity of ITP patients with high dose of dexamethasone treatment can be observed through the level of IDO and TTS.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are a family of nuclear hormone receptors belonging to the steroid receptor superfamily. Three PPAR isoforms, PPAR?, PPAR? (also known as PPAR?) and PPAR? have been found in the mouse. They can activate expression of many genes, including those involved in lipidmetabolism. PPAR? is ubiquitously expressed, but the level of expression differs markedly between different cell types. PPAR? is expressed in skeletal muscle at 10- and 50-fold higher levels compared with PPAR? and PPAR?, respectively. A role for PPAR? in skeletal muscle is to increase the genes expression with relation to oxidative metabolism. In order to determine the molecular mechanisms governing PPAR? gene expression in muscle, a 2 kb 5′ flanking region was cloned and analyzed. The DNA fragment is able to transcribe GFP in COS7 cells. Dual luciferase assay is used to quantify promoter activity. Deletion analysis of the 2 kb PPAR? promoter fragment in COS7 and NIH 3T3 cells shows that the proximal promoter sequence, nt -197 to +120, confers basal transcriptional activity of the mouse PPAR? gene. Computational analysis of putative cis-acting elements located within the ~2.0 kb mouse PPAR? 5′-flanking sequence was performed using the TRANSFAC database and MatInspector software and 4 potential MEF2A binding sites were found. And there is a potential binding site sharing 100% identity with positive element of MEF2A in the proximal promoter (nt -261). Co-transfection experiments of the PPAR? promoter reporter and pMEF2A expression plasmid (pMEF2A) showed that MEF2A significantly enhanced transcription activity of PPAR? promoter in NIH 3T3. Moreover, the enhancive effect depended on the concentration of plasmid pMEF2A transfected into cells. The results suggested that MEF2A may enhance transcription activity of the PPAR promoter in muscle cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of early application of clean intermittent catheterization(CIC) in infants with neurogenic bladder(NB).Methods Eighty-seven children with NB diagnosed in our urodynamic center were less than 1 year old when they first came to hospital from January 2007 to January 2010, and CIC was carried out at different age.Sixty-four patients were followed up for a long time and divided into early CIC group(less than 1 year old children) and late CIC group(more than 3 years old children) according to the treatment time.Early CIC group included 29 patients [19 boys and 10 girls with the mean age of (7.5 ±2.8) months].And 4 cases were suffering from postoperative spina bifida manifesta;22 cases with spina bifida occulta;2 cases with sacral dysplasia;1 case with meningitis.Late CIC group included 35 patients [20 boys and 15 girls with the mean age of (8.0 ±2.9) months].2 cases were suffering from postoperative spina bifida manifesta;28 cases with spina bifida occulta;4 cases with sacral dysplasia;1 case with postoperative pelvic surgery.Before the treatment, there were no significant differences of the bladder compliance (BC), the maximum cystometric capacity (MCC) and the safety bladder capacity (SBC) between two groups.Urodynamic parameters and complications of 64 patients who were successfully followed up for 6 years were compared.Results After 3 years follow up, BC, SBC and MCC in early CIC group [(8.5 ± 1.9) ml/cmH2O, (140 ±25) ml, (142 ±29) ml]were significantly higher than those of late CIC group [(7.0 ± 2.2) ml/cmH2O, (110 ± 31) ml, (120 ± 28) ml;all P < 0.05].After 6 years follow up, BC, SBC and MCC in early CIC group [(12.0 ±2.5) ml/cmH2O, (210 ±26) ml, (230 ±30) ml] were significantly higher than those of late CIC group [(9.3 ± 2.3) ml/cmH2O, (192 ± 31) ml, (205 ± 35) ml;all P < 0.05], and the vesicoureteral reflux rate [24.1% (7/29)] in early treatment group was significantly less than that in late treatment group [54.3% (19/35), P < 0.05].Increases in BUN and serum creatinine were found in 6 cases (20.7%) in early CIC group and 17 cases (48.6%) in late CIC group, the difference was significant (P < 0.05).Conclusion For NB patients, the effect of early CIC is better than that of late CIC.

Objective To investigate the detection mode for those unpaid blood donors screening as positive HBsAg+ and/or positive anti-HCV could be permitted to recall again for re-detection under the regulation condition in order to determine whether or not regain their qualifications of donating blood and rejoin the blood donation again.Methods The unpaid blood donors preliminari-ly screening as positive HBsAg and/or positive anti-HCV in Shenzhen from Otcober 2007 to December 2013 and conforming to the rules for recalling to re-detection formulated by our center were analyzed and researched for conducting the feasibility discussion on the rejoin mode of unpaid blood donors.Results A total of 415 759 case-times of blood donation were conducted during 2007 ~2013.Among them,2 506 cases(0.60%)and 1 357 cases(0.33%)were screened as positive HBsAg or positive anti-HCV,respec-tively.The recall process of rejoin re-detection was initiated in 59 positive HBsAg donors and 16 positive anti-HCV donors with many times of blood donation.But only 31 positive HBsAg donors and 9 positive anti-HCV donors successfully completed the detec-tion items of re-detection process.Among them 29 positive HBsAg donor regained the qualifications of donating blood and 2 cases were shielded for the blood donation qualification due to unqualification in the following detection.All of the 9 recalled donators with positive anti-HCV regained the blood donation qualification.Conclusion Under present detection mode,the detection tech-nique of blood screening is hard to avoid the occurrence of false positive results caused by the reagents,instruments and personnel operating.In order to protect the donation qualifications of the unpaid blood donators,a set of scientific,reasonable and practical re-detection mode for rejoin of the blood donators should be established for protecting the limited blood donation resource.

The cells appeared larger pore size of cell membrane, the value of cell membrane particle sizes, Rp-v, Ra, Rq and Meant Ht were significant increased. The inhibitory rate and apoptotic rate were significant increased. Conclusions Cisplatin induced shrinkage in cell morphology, pore formation and roughness increasing in cell membrane, thereby inducing apoptosis in HepG2 cells.
