Objective To investigate the relationship between erythrocyte immune function and selenium (Se)level. Methods Forty-nine Kashin-Beck patients in endemic area aged 13- 16 years were divided into two groups and were orally given either selenized yeast or sodium selenite to provide 200 μg selenium per day for 12 weeks. Erythrocyte selenium level, glutathione peroxidase activity, the rosette formation rates of red blood cells complement receptor type Ⅰ(CR1), the immune function of red blood cells, and circulating immune complexes(CIC) were determined. Results After supplementing with selenium for 12 weeks, erythrocyte selenium level, glutathione peroxidase activity, the rosette formation rates of red blood cells CR1 were significantly increased. But the difference in rosette formation rates of IC and CIC content was not significant between before and after Se supplementation. Conclusion The increase of the immune function of the erythrocyte by selenium-supplement may be one of the effective mechanisms for the prevention of Kashin-Beck disease.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) combined with immunosuppressive agents (leflunomide plus methotrexate) on synovitis in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with high active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Fifty eight patients with RA (disease duration 6 months to 12 years) were randomly divided. Thirty-one were randomized to the treatment group and 27 were randomized to the control group. All patients received leflunomide 10 mg, two times daily; plus methotrexate 15 mg orally once weekly. DFPP was performed in the treatment group once 1-2 weeks for 3-4 sessions. Control patients did not receive DFPP. All patients underwent contrast-enhanced MRI of the right wrist at the baseline and 6 months, 1 month in the treatment group. The signs including synovitis pannus, bone marrow edema and effusion were observed on MRI. The scoring of synovial hypertrophy, pannus, bone marrow edema were measured according to the outcome measures in RA MRI scoring system. Comparisons between groups were performed with paired-samples t test and independent-sample t test. Results The MRI synovitis score, MRI pannus score and MRI bone marrow edema in the treatment group was (1.4±1.6), (0.13± 0.35) and (5±4) respectively,so was significantly lower than that of the control group [respectively for (7.9± 1.3), (2.76±0.43), (16±12),P<0.01]. 53% of the treatment group satisfied both the disease activity score 28-joint assessment and MRI synovitis assessment (no enhancement of synovium or pannus, no effusion), but none in the control group (P<0.01). Significant changes at 1 month was observed in DAS28 and HAQ scores (P<0.01), but not in the MRI synovitis score, MRI pannus score, MRI bone marrow edema score and effusion in the treatment group (P>0.05). Conclusion DFPP combined with immunosuppressive agents can significantly improve synovitis in MRI in patients with high active RA. Improvement of the signs of MRI is later than that in the clinic. So imaging assessment may be necessary for accurate evaluation of disease status and selection of therapy.

Objective To observe the protein expressions of PI3Kp110, pAkt, pGSK3β of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in the whole blood of patients with Kashin-Beck disease and analyze the status of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Methods Patients with Kashin-Beck disease ( KBD group ) were from six counties ( Xunyi , Linyou , Yongshou , Qianyang , Changwu and Long County) of Shannxi Province in Kashin-Beck disease areas , and the healthy controls (control group) were matched by age and sex. Venous blood was collected from patients and healthy controls. Trizol method was applied to extract the whole blood protein; protein expression levels of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in whole blood were detected by Western blotting; the gray values were observed and recorded by the sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) and GDS-8000 gel imaging analysis system. Differences between the two groups were assessed by Student’s t-test. Results Compared age and sex between KBD group and control group, differences were not statistically significant(t=0.701, P>0.05;χ2=0.400, P>0.05). The protein expression levels of PI3Kp110, pAkt and p-GSK3β in KBD group were higher than that in control group(156.1 ± 92.1 vs. 79.5 ± 21.5, 113.7 ± 15.2 vs. 43.3 ± 10.7 and 105.9 ± 17.5 vs. 37.3 ± 12.0, respectively) and the differences were statistically significant (t=2.563, 6.567, 7.916; all P < 0.05 or < 0.01). Conclusion The PI3Kp110, pAkt and p-GSK3β expressions of signaling pathway proteins in the whole blood of patiens with Kashin-Beck disease are up-regulated significantly and the status of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is activated.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of Astragalous Injection on oxidative stress and micro-inflammatory status in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). METHODS: Sixty MHD patients were included and randomized into treatment group and control group, with another 10 healthy volunteers as normal control. The patients in the treatment group were treated with Astragalous Injection and the patients in the control group were treated with normal saline for 12 weeks. A spectrophotometric method was used for the measurement of plasma concentrations of oxidative parameters including advanced glycation end products (AGEs), advanced oxidation protein product (AOPP), malondialdehyde (MDA) and vitamin E (Vit E). The content of C-reactive protein (CRP) was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, the plasma levels of AGEs, AOPP, MDA and CRP were significantly increased, while plasma level of Vit E was significantly decreased in MHD patients ( P<0.01). After Astragalous Injection treatment, the plasma levels of AGEs, AOPP, MDA and CRP were decreased as compared with the control group ( P<0.01), while there was no significant difference in plasma Vit E level between the treatment group and control group. CONCLUSION: There exist oxidative stress and micro-inflammation in MHD patients. Astragalous Injection can ameliorate the accumulation of oxidative products and micro-inflammatory status, but it has no significant effect on plasma Vit E level.

A rapid, sensitive and simple liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of yogliptin and its metabolite in Wistar rat plasma. Linagliptin and dexamethasone were chosen as the internal standards of yogliptin and its metabolite, (R)-8-(3-hydroxypiperidine- -yl)-7-(but-2-yn-1-yl)-1-((5-fluorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)methyl)-3-methyl- H-purine-2, 6 (3H, 7H)-dione, respectively. After a simple protein precipitation using acetonitrile as the precipitating solvent, both analytes and ISs were separated on a Grace Altima HP C18 column (2.1 mm x 50 mm, 5 microm) with gradient elution using methanol (containing 0.1% formic acid, 4 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate)-0.1% formic acid (containing 4 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate) as the mobile phase. A chromatographic total run time of 4.4 min was achieved. Mass spectrometric detection was conducted with electrospray ionization under positive-ion and multiple-reaction monitoring modes. Linear calibration curves for yogliptin and its metabolite were over the concentration range of 0.5 to 500 ng x mL(-1) with a lower limit of quantification of 0.5 ng x mL(-1). The intra- and inter- assay precisions were all below 14%, the accuracies were all in standard ranges. The method was used to determine the concentration of yogliptin and M1 in Wistar rat plasma after a single oral administration of yogliptin (27 mg x kg(-1)). The method was proved to be selective, sensitive and suitable for pharmacokinetic study of yogliptin and M1 in Wistar rat plasma.
