Objective To explore the relationship between plasma homocysteine(Hcy),folic acid,VB12 level and deep venous thrombosis(DVT).Method With case-control study design,fifty DVT patients were included in this study as case group,and 50 healthy subjects selected from the same area as control group.Epidemiological survey were made,and 4ml fasting venous blood was collected for all subjects.Radio-immunoassay and fluorescence polarization immunoassay(FPIA) were used to measure blood serum folic acid,VB12 and plasma Hcy levels respectively.The correlation between Hcy level and DVT was analyzed.Results Plasma Hcy level of subjects in case group was higher than that in control group,There was significant difference of HHcy and low serum folic acid between case and control,and the OR(95%CI) was 3.74(1.21-11.59)and 0.17(0.05-0.53) respectively.There existed correlation among Hcy level,folic acid and VB12 levels.Partial correlation analysis showed the same results between Hcy level and folic acid level,VB12 level and folic acid level,while there existed negative correlation between Hcy level and VB12 level.Conclusion HHcy and low blood folic acid level increased DVT risk.Low blood levels of folic acid and VB12 increase the risk of HHcy.

Objective To detect the patients with IgA nephropathy by glycobiology and immunological technique. Methods An helia aspera lectin ELISA immunoassay was developed to discriminate the aberrantly glycosylated IgA in serum from normal IgA molecules by using HAA lectin, which reacts preferentially with the GalNAc of the terminal sugar chain, and AKP conjugated specific IgA antibody. Results The results given by A 405 nm values from 156 controls, 22 patients with IgAN and 19 patients with uncertain IgAN were 0.22?0.10,0.68?0.17 and 0.38?0.15, respectively. The significance between the controls and the patients with IgAN was observed ( P

Objective To explore the correlation between verbal memory and working memory in patients with alcohol dependence (AD).Methods A total of 40 patients with AD and 40 health controls were included in this study.N-back task was used to evaluate the verbal working memory.20 sets of phrases were used to evaluate long-term verbal memory.Results Correct number of verbal memory in AD group ((5.15±0.92)times) was lower than that of HC group ((7.35±3.07) times) after one-week baseline test,and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.344,P＜ 0.01).Compared with HC group ((1 436.37±192.50) ms,(1.08±0.89) times,(4.00±0.85) times,respectively),AD group((1 535.40± 192.50) ms,(1.90± 1.57)times,(2.60± 1.39)times) showed significantly impaired reply reaction time of 2-back,error number of 1-back and 2-back (t=-2.112,P=0.038;t=-2.899,P=0.005;t=-5.433,P＜0.01).The error number of 2-back task in AD group was negative correlated with verbal memory after one-week baseline test (r=-0.427,P=0.006).Conclusion The verbal memory is impaired in AD patients.Long-term verbal memory damage have a certain correlation with working memory.

AIM To study the protective effects of vesnarinone on myocardial ischemia. METHODS Rat myocardial oxide nitric (NO) content, protein kinase C (PKC) activities in different groups were determined by kits. RESULTS Vesnarinone 1 mg?kg -1 or 2 mg?kg -1 iv markedly improved the NO content and PKC activity before ischemia for 30 min and reperfusion for 2 h in rats. CONCLUSION Vesnarinone possesses a protective effect against myocardial ischemia via NO induce PKC.

Objective To explore the correlation between B lymphocyte activation and CD154 expression and lupus anticoagulants (LAC) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Sixty newly diagnosed SLE patients (SLE group) and 32 healthy controls (control group) were involved. The expressions of CD27 and CD154 in peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry, and the positive expression rates were computed. The LAC was determined by activated partial thromboplastin time, and the LAC ratio > 1.20 was positive. Results The positive rate of CD27, expression intensity of CD27, positive rate of CD154 and expression intensity of CD154 in SLE group were significantly higher than those in control group: 0.047 ± 0.021 vs. 0.035 ± 0.014, 0.387 ± 0.185 vs. 0.214 ± 0.091, 0.191 ± 0.108 vs. 0.101 ± 0.081 and 0.049 ± 0.018 vs. 0.022 ± 0.012, and there were statistical difference (P<0.05 or <0.01). Among patients with SLE, the LAC positive was in 28 cases, and the LAC negative was in 32 cases. The positive rate of CD27, expression intensity of CD27, positive rate of CD154 and expression intensity of CD154 in SLE patients with LAC positive were significantly higher than those in SLE patients with LAC negative: 0.055 ± 0.023 vs. 0.037 ± 0.014, 0.444 ± 0.179 vs. 0.329 ± 0.123, 0.218 ± 0.101 vs. 0.158 ± 0.044 and 0.058 ± 0.035 vs. 0.020 ± 0.009, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Conclusions The B lymphocyte activation and CD154 abnormal expression correlates with generation of LAC in patients with SLE. It provides a basis for the further study on intervening the generation of LAC and reducing the risk of thromboembolism.

Objective To study the Val247Leu and Trp316Ser polymorphisms of β2-glycoprotein Ⅰ(β2GPⅠ) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and their associations with antiphospholipid antibodies and thrombotic complications.Methods We used DNA sequencing to detect the polymorphisms of Val247Leu and Trp316Ser in 378 SLE patients and 240 normal controls.Anti-β2GP Ⅰ antibodies and anticardiolipin (ACA) were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Lupus-type anticoagulants(LAC) was performed by diluted Russell's Viper Venom Test.Then the patient group was further analyzed according to APLs (Anti-β2GP Ⅰ antibody,LAC and ACA),thrombosis and obstetrical complications using Logistic regression analysis to confirm whether there are associations between β2GPⅠpolymorphism and those factors.Results For Va1247Leu,the predominant genotype was LL in healthy controls which accounted for 57.08％,while it was VL in SLE patients which accounted for 59.5％ (x2=45.01,P=0.000).Frequency of VV genotype was significantly higher in patients with thrombosis,anti-β2GP Ⅰ,ACA and obstetrical complications (OR=6.79,3.75,2.12 and 3.85,respectively;P=0.000,0.001,0.044 and 0.017,respectively).Those patients with VL genotype tended to have positive anti-β2GPI,LAC,ACA,thrombosis and also obstetrical complications (OR=2.95,1.88,2.47,2.97 and 2.74,respectively;P=0.000,0.007,0.000,0.001 and 0.016,respectively) than those negative ones.The predominant genotype of Trp316Ser was TT,then TS.No correlations could be found between Trp316Ser polymorphism and APLs,neither relation to thrombosis complications.Conclusion The polymorphism of Val247Leu is significantly associated with the presence of APLs,thrombosis and obstetrical complications.Both VV and VL genotype are risk factors for the generation of APLs,occurrence of thrombosis and obstetrical complications.The VV genotype is a high risk factor for thrombosis.Trp316Ser polymorphism does not contribute to the APLs production and also have no correlations with thrombotic complication.

Objective To study the effect of Dachengqi decoction on expression of triggering receptor on myeloid cell 1(TREM-1)in septic rats in order to further provide a theoretical basis concerning the mechanism of this decoction for treatment of sepsis. Methods 100 male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into five groups:normal control,sham operation,sepsis model,low-dose and high-dose Dachengqi decoction groups (each,n=20). The sepsis models were reproduced by cecal ligated perforation(CLP). The low-dose and high-dose Dachengqi decoction groups were lavaged separately by low dose(5 mL/kg)and normal dose(10 mL/kg)Dachengqi decoction at 2 hours before CLP and after CLP twice per day(interval 8 hours),and the other three groups were lavaged with 10 mL/kg normal saline. Five rats in each group were killed randomly at the time points of 6,12,24,48 hours after CLP;the abdominal aorta blood and the liver tissue were collected. The plasma levels of TREM-1,interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expression level of TREM-1 mRNA in the liver was measured by reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Compared with normal control group and sham operation group, the plasma levels of TREM-1, IL-6, TNF-α and the expression of liver TREM-1 mRNA were increased significantly in model group. Compared with model group,the above indexes in low-dose and high-dose Dachengqi decoction groups were reduced obviously,the changes being more marked in the high-dose group;the levels of TREM-1,IL-6 at 6 hours after operation and the levels of TNF-αand TREM-1 mRNA at 24 hours after operation in high-dose group were lower than those of low-dose group〔6 hours TREM-1(ng/L):179.19±4.43 vs. 213.86±2.84,6 hours IL-6 (ng/L):136.80±7.70 vs. 162.90±3.87;24 hours TNF-α(ng/L):71.61±5.07 vs. 108.53±6.29,24 hours TREM-1 mRNA:24.33±3.16 vs. 27.22±3.34,all P<0.05〕. Conclusion The partial mechanism of the efficacy of Dachengqi decoction for treatment of sepsis was probably related to the inhibition of TREM-1 expression.

Objective:To investigate prognostic factors of the T-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (T-NHL),and to study the clinical efficacy of CHOPE plus L-asparaginase (L-ASP)regimen for T-NHL.Methods:Retrospective analyses were made of 61 T-NHL patients who were treated from July 2007 to August 2013.Randomly divided into two groups CHOPE and CHOPE +L group (Based on CHOPE,added with L-ASP on the 1st,3rd,5th,7th,9th and 11th day).Results:Of the 61 patients evaluatd with the median survival was 22 (3 -65)months,the complete remission rate was 52.50%,the partial remission rate 29.51%,and the response rate 80.01%.The complete remission rate was 57.89%,and the patial remission rate 84.21% in CHOPE +L and the complete remission rate 43.48%,the response rate 78.26% in CHOPE,respectively (both P >0.05).The 1-,2-,and 5-year overall survival rates were 91.0%,87.6% and 65.7% respectively (P >0.05 ).But the overall survival rate in CHOPE +L was significantly higher than that in CHOPE group in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma,nasal type (ENKTCL)(P <0.05 ).The analysis of the prognostic factors indicated that ENKTCL,the outside junction lesions,and the CR rate were poor factors with statistic significance in T-NHL.Conclusion:CHOPE +L regimen has better efficacy for ENKTCL,but whether CHOPE +L regimen is used in the treatment of T-NHL,large prospective clinical trials are worth for further investigation.
