Objective To compare the T cell receptor recombination excision cycle (TREC) levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with normal age- and gender- matched controls. To investigate the correlations between TREC levels of SLE patients and their clinical features. Methods We studied TREC levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 21 SLE patients and 22 normal age- and sex- matched controls. TREC concentration was determined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR) as the number of TREC copies/1000 PBMCs. The clinical features of the SLE patients such as systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) , ESR, C reaction protein (CRP) , ANA, anti-dsDNA and complement levels and organ involvement were recorded and assessed. Results SLE patients had lower TREC levels [ (9.6 ± 7.5 )copies/1000 PBMC] than controls[ (16.1 ±11.1) copies/1000 PBMC,P = 0.033]. There was an inverse correlation between age and TREC levels in controls (r =- 0. 614, P = 0. 002) but not in SLE patients.There was an inverse correlation between SLEDAI and TREC levels in SLE patients(r =-0. 656, P =0. 001) and TREC levels seemed to have relations to skin lesions ( r = - 0. 620, P = 0. 003 ). No other clinical association was observed between TREC levels and clinical and laboratory SLE manifestations.Conclusion SLE patients had lower TREC levels than normal controls and there is a tendency that TREC level is reversely correlated with disease activity. The decrease PBMC TREC level is indicative of a low proportion of recent thymic emigrant (RTE) in SLE and could be caused by decreased RTE output and/or by increased peripheral T cell proliferation in this disease. The under-representation of RTE in the peripheral T cell pool may play a role in the immune tolerance abnormalities observed in SLE.

Objective To observe the survival,migration and differentiation of grafted neural stem cells(NSCs)transfected with cardiotrophin-1(CT1)in hippocampus in status epilepticus(SE)rats,and investigate its effect on neuron loss and mossy fiber sprouting(MFS)in hippocampus of SE rats.Methods (1)Lithium-pilocarpine induced SE model rats were divided into 3 groups randomly:CT1-NSCs transplantation group(n=18);NScs transplantation group(n=18)and SE model group(n=18).Another 18 rats served as normal control group.Each group was further divided into 3 time points testing groups(n=6 at each point)corresponding to 1,4 and 8 weeks after transplantation respectively.(2)Under the confocal microscopy,the survival,migration and differentiation of the grafted cells were observed by immunofluorescenee.(3)Morphological changes and neuron loss in the hippocampal CA1 region were examined by Nissl staining.(4)MFS in hippocampal dentate gyrus in rats was obserred by Timm histochemistry.Results(1)At 4 and 8 weeks post-tmusplantation,the numbers of double-labeled NF-200 and EGFP pesitive cells in the CT1-NSCs group were significantly hisher than those in NSCs group.In the former group most of the grafted NSCs migrated away from the needle tract,but in the latter group,grafted ceHs remained at the transplantation site.(2)The numbers of neuron in the hippocampal CA1 region reduced gradually after SE.The numbers of neuron in the CA1 region in CT1-NSCs transplantation rats (68.85±11.49,60.89±12.17 and 51.51±13.34 in 1,4,8 weeks after transplantation respectivelv)were greater than that in NSCs transplantation rats(67.92±10.78,42.56±11.47 and 30.49±10.12).tvalue were 4.650 and 5.334 in 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation(P<0.05).(3)Aberrant MFS in the inner molecular layer of dentate gyrus was observed,and the scores of MFS gradually increased with timelapse.The scores of MFS in CT1-NSCs transplantation rats(0.77±0.04,2.48±0.89 and 2.39±0.82 in 1,4,8 weeks after transplantation respectively)were significant lower than that in NSCs transplantation rats (1.12±0.62,3.17±0.64 and 3.88±0.51,t=6.059,9.511 and 9.728,P<0.05).Conclusions CT1 could promote the survival,migration and differentiation of engrafted NSCs in hippocampud in SE rats.Engrafted NSCs transfected with CT1 have effect on repair of the injured hippocampus,and could inhibit hippocampus MFS in SE rats.

AIM:To set up a glutamate-induced cell damage model in cultured hippocampal neurons, and to determine whether glutamate-induced neuronal apoptosis changes and whether this process is mediated by mitochondrial signal transduction pathways involving the release of cytochrome C. METHODS: Hippocampal neurons, isolated and cultured from new born Wistar rats, were exposed to various concentrations of glutamate. Extent of cell death was assessed by measuring the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the culture media. Based on these data, an appropriate concentration of glutamate was selected, and all subsequent experiments were carried out under the concentration. Kinetics of glutamate-induced both apoptotic and necrotic cell death after exposure to glutamate for various times(3-24 h) were determined by flow cytometry and LDH release. The caspase-3 protein levels and cytochrome C release from mitochondria into cytosol in hippocampal neurons were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS: Glutamate treatment induced hippocampal neurons death in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners. A significant increase in LDH release (18.4%) was induced in the cells treated with 50 ?mol/L glutamate, compared to control untreated cells(P

ObjectiveTo explore the factors associated with activity of daily living (ADL) in patients injured from earthquake and to observe the rehabilitation nursing of fractures for them. Methods367 patients were reported and analyzed with Logistic regression. Results and ConclusionThe age (OR=1.016), renal failure (OR=4.648), lower limb fractures (OR=2.404), spine fracture (OR=3.558), right hand fractures (OR=1.190), right foot fractures (OR=4.389) and the complex fractures (OR=2.600) were associated with the poor ADL (<60). The rehabilitation nursing for fracture were reported and discussed.

Objective To investigate whether the activation of secretory prophospholipase A2 (sPLA2) plays the role in the pathophysiological mechanism of acute aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) in rats. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups. Model group received decocted Aristolochia Manshuriensis Kom 30 g·kg-1d-1 by gavage for 7 days following tap water in same way for additional 7 days. Control group received only tap water by garage at parallel time. The renal pathological changes were observed at the 4th, 8th and 14th day. The injury of renal tubules and interstitium was observed under light microscope following a semi-quantity grade. The level of Scr was measured to evaluate glomerular function. Urinary N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG) was tested as renal tubular injury marker. The activity of sPLA2 in serum was detected by manifesting the color of thiols in the substrate. The protein expression of renal cortex and medulla COX-2 was analyzed by Western blot. The metabolic products of pretaglandins (PC, s) including 6-kcto-PGF1α and TXB2 in the plasma and urine were assayed by radioimmunoassay. The ratio of 6-keto-PGF1α/TXB2 was calculated. Results After Aristolochia administration, the tubulointerstitial injury and Scr increased in AA rats and reached the peak at the 8th day, the tubulointerstitial injury index(8.14±2.55 vs 1.50±0.71, P<0.05) and Scr[(0.24±0.10) vs (0.19±0.02) μmol/g, P<0.05] increased significantly in AA rats compared with control group. The activity of sPLA2 (μmol ·min-1·mg-1) in AA group elevated by 1.3-fold compared to control group at 8th day (133.15±17.05 vs 101.3±16.07, P<0.05), while theexpression of COX-2 in renal cortex increased (1.16±0.36 vs 0.69±0.28, P<0.05) with no change in renal medulla. Even though the levels of serum 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 did not change obviously in both AA and control group, but urinary levels of 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 increased by 2-fold and 3-fold in AA group compared to control group, respectively (all P<0.05), while the ratio of 6-keto-PGF1α/TXB2 decreased significantly (207.53±17.52 vs 296.64±51.31, P<0.05). All of above changes recovered to the control level at the 14th day except the tubulointerstitial injury index. Conclusion Serum sPLA2 is activated in the rots with acute kidney injury induced by aristolochic acid, which accompanied by up-regulated expression of COX-2 in renal cotex and increased the metabolic products of vasoconstrictive PG s in urine. These changes may participate the mechanism of renal peritubular ischemia in AAN.

Objective To explore the efficiency and prognosis of hematological malignancies treated by haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Methods 70 patients who received haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were analyzed retrospectively.According to tumor burden before transplantation,the patients were divided into three groups,the low tumor burden group,the mediate tumor burden group and the high tumor burden group.And then the effection of the tumor burden to survival was analyzed,and the engraftment,GVHD,infection,conditioning related toxicity,relapse and survival rate were also observed.Results The follow-up was terminated on January 1,2014.Follow-ups were performed for a median of 34.05 (7.4-83.6) months after transplantation.All patients achieved engraftments.The cumulative incidence of GVHD of grades 2-4 was 47.14 ％ (33/70) and that of grades 3-4 was 21.4 ％ (15/70).The chronic extensive GVHD was 20.0 ％ (14/70).The overall survival was 68.6 ％.Transplant-related mortality was 12.8 ％ and the relapse was 18.6 ％.The overall survivals in low tumor burden group,mediate tumor burden group,high tumor burden group were 91.67 ％,72.7 ％,33.3 ％ respectively.By SPSS 20.0,tumor burden was the high risk factor affecting the survival (low tumor group vs high tumor group,mediate tumor group vs high tumor group,low tumor group vs high tumor group,P =0.000,P =0.038,P =0.016).Conclusions Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in hematological malignancies is safe and effective.And for hematological malignancies with poor prognosis disease,it should be accepted the HSCT as soon as possible after remission in order to reduce the recurrence rate of malignancy.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with supplemental umbilical cord blood (UCB) infusion in treatment of malignant hematological diseases.Method Clinical data of 66 patients with hematological malignancies treated with HSCT in our hospital between January 2010 and May 2013,were retrospectively analyzed.Among them 25 cases received infusion of human UCB before HSCT (experimental group) and other 41 cases had no UCB injection before HSCT (control group).Results There were no differences in age,gender,donor type,disease categories,disease status before transplant between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was a significant difference in conditioning regimes between two groups (P ＜ 0.05),but no clinical implication.The infused mononuclear cell (MNC) count in experimental group was higher than that in control group (9.94 ± 2.88 × 108/kg vs.7.80 ±0.82 × 108/kg,P =0.00),while there were no difference in infused CD34 + cell count (5.46 ±3.54 × 106/kg vs.3.54 ± 1.60 × 106/kg,P =0.16).Neutrophil recovery time in experimental group was shorter than that in control group (13.7 ±2.9 d vs.16.6 ±2.9 d,P =0.023).The incidences of grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD,P =0.036),bacterial infection (P =0.001) and fungal infection (P =0.001)and hemorrhagic cystitis (P =0.00)in experimental group were lower than those in control group.There were no significant differences in platelet recovery time(P =0.43),the incidence of grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ aGVHD (P =0.27),implanted syndrome (P =0.24),sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (P =0.57)and viraemia (P =0.31)between two groups.Conclusion HSCT with supplemental infusion of human UCB may alleviate the degree of aGVHD,but the long-term outcome remains to be studied.

Objective To evaluate the influence of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2(TFPI-2)gene on the proliferation and invasion of K562.Methods The expression vector pcDNA3.0/TFPI-2 was transfected into human leukemia line K562 cells(K562-T)by using liposome,then the mRNA and protein TFPI-2 were detected by real-time RT-PCR and western blot separately.The growth curve and the colony-forming unit assay were used to measure the ability of cells growth and transwell chamber model was employed to test the ability of cell invasion in vitro.Results Expression of mRNA and protein of TFPI-2 was detected in transfected cells.The growth rate and self-replication ability of K562-T cells were lower than those of the two control groups obviously.The number of K562-T cells to traverse a Matrigel-coated membrane was dramatically decreased compared with that of non-expressing cells.Conclusion The gene of TFPI-2 can inhibit the growth,proliferation and invasion of the K562 cells.
