Objective To investigate the effect of CXCL16 on the development of murine collageninduced arthritis (CIA). Methods CXCL16 mRNA of the involved synovium and serum CXCL16 protein were determined respectively by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in murine collagen-induced arthritis. The proliferation of lymphocytes from murine spleen and the level of RANKL mRNA, stimulated by CXCL16 at different concentrations (0,100, 200, 400, 800 ng/ml), was detected respectively by CCK-8 and RT-PCR, then the level of IL-2 and IFN-γ in culture supernatant was detected by ELISA. Comparisons between groups were tested by t test and one-way ANOVA analysis. Results The serum CXCL16 [(127± 10) vs (72±8) pg/ml, P<0.05] and synovial CXCL16 mRNA (0.214±0.007 vs 0.375±0.009, P<0.01) in CIA were all significantly higher than those in normal controls. The proliferation of CXCL16 (200, 400, 800 ng/ml) in CIA mouse lymphocytes, was significantly higher than that of CXCL16 (0 ng/ml) (0.51±0.06, 0.56±0.05, 0.55±0.04, (0.41±0.04, P<0.05). And CXCL16 on the CIA stimulated lymphocyte proliferation was significantly higher than controls on normal lymphocytes (P<0.05). Compared with blank control group, the expression of IL-2, IFN-γ and RANKL mRNA of CIA CXCL16 (400, 800 ng/ml) groups was higher significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion CXCL16 plays an important role in the development of murine CIA by activating lymphocytes.

Objective To detect D-Dimer in the blood of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and to investigate its clinical significance in RA. Methods Blood samples were obtained from 58 patients with RA,18 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 15 patients with ankylosing spondylitis, 11 patients with osteoarthritis, and 20 patients with other connective tissue diseases. The presence of thrombotic diseases was excluded in all patients. The presence of D-Dimer in the blood was examined by immunoturbidimetry. The following clinical and laboratory data were collected: disease activity index DAS28, rheumatoid factor (RF),erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Mann-Whitney U test, t-test ,Spearman correlation were used for statistical analysis. Results ① The prevalence of high level D-Dimer in RA patients was higher than that of the control group (82.6% vs 21.9%, P<0.01). The titer of D-Dimer in RA was significantly higher than that of the control group [(1.76±1.57) vs (0.32±0.25) mg/L, P<0.01]. ②DAS28 was higher in RA patients with positive D-Dimer than those with negative D-Dimer (5.4±1.0 vs 4.4±0.8,P<0.01). The values of ESR, CRP and RF in RA patients with positive D-Dimer were significantly higher than those in patients with negative D-Dimer (P<0.05). ③ There was positive correlation between D-Dimer and DAS28 (r=0.406, P<0.05), ESR (r=0.355, P<0.01), and RF (r=0.319, P<0.05). Conclusion The level of D-Dimer in the blood of RA patients is significantly higher than other rheumatic diseases, and is positively correlated with disease activities. The results indicated that the activation of coagulation-fibrinolytic systems may play a role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To investigate the possibility and accuracy of predicting malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (mMCAI) with bedside electroencephalography (EEG). Methods Thirty-five patients with massive hemispheric infarction (MHI) underwent bedside EEG monitoring within 48 h of onset. The EEG indicators were interpreted blindly, and the clinical, laboratory and imaging parameters were analyzed. The patients were divided into mMCAI group and non-mMCAI group according to whether they had occurred mMCAI or not within 7 days of onset. The differences of EEG indicators, clinical, laboratory and imaging parameters between the 2 groups were compared. When the parameters of significant difference and statistical significance appeared the odds ratio (OR) of occurring mMCAI were analyzed, and their accuracy of predicting mMCAI was calculated. Results Of the 35 patients with MHI, 20 were in the mMCAI group and 15 were in the non-mMCAI group. There were significant differences in the EEG indicators (infarction on the contralateral side, including disintegration of occipital α rhythm, generalized slow-wave, dominant frequency wave low amplitude, regional attenuation without delta [RAWOD]pattern, and absence of EEG reactivity), clinical parameters (nausea accompanied with vomiting), and imaging parameters (the infracted area more than the entire MCA territory, and midline shifting 3 to 5 mm at the level of septum pellucidum) between the 2 groups (P < 0. 05). Of those, the risk of mMCAI was the highest in patients with disintegration of occipital a rhythm on the contralateral side of infarction (P = 22. 67, 95% CI 3. 89-132. 10). The sensitivity of predicting mMCAI was 85. 0%, the specificity was 80.0%, the positive predictive value was 85.0%, and the negative predictive value was 80. 0%, which were superior to other EEG indicators and clinical or imaging parameters. Conclusions Bedside EEG indicators can early predict mMCAI, moreover, the predictive accuracy is superior to the clinical and imaging parameters.
