Objective To investigate the variation of thyroid hormone therapy in patients with hypothyroidism before,during and postpartum pregnancy.Methods Thirty-eight patients who suffered from hypothyroidism and had successful pregnancy were collected.Among them,15 cases of hypothyroidism were caused by autoimmune thyroiditis caused,11 cases were induced by thyroid surgery; in 131I treatment induced hypothyroidism were 5 cases,7 patients had unclear reason pregnancy clinical thyroid dysfunctions.Thirty-eight cases of non-pregnant patients with hypothyroidism were also collected as the control group.They achieved efficacy standards by levothyroxine (L-T4) treatment and dose variation of L-T4 was statistically analyzed.Results There was a significant difference before pregnancy,postpartum and different periods of pregnancy.L-T4 dose had a significant increase after pregnancy.At 10-12 weeks,16-18 weeks,22-24 weeks,26-30 weeks,34-36 weeks respectively,L-T4 dose was significantly increasing compared with before pregnancy and postpartum 3 months((110.51 ± 10.42),(113.81 ± 21.04),(108.32 ± 21.01),(105.58 ±21.54),(105.89±10.24),(84.42 ±10.45) and (86.43 ±10.29) μg/L,F=15.631,P＜0.001),but between before and pregnancy postpartum,there was not significantly difference (P ＞ 0.05).Among the various stages of pregnancy,there was also no significant difference; In the patients with hypothyroidism due to thyroid surgery and 131I therapy,L-T4 dose were significantly higher than autoimmune thyroiditis and patients with no clear reason(before,during and after pregnancy,F =4.98,5.15,5.04,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusion Patients with hypothyroidism during pregnancy should increased therapeutic dose of thyroid hormone with average about 30％-40％ of the original dose,and in postpartum,levels before pregnancy could resume.High doses of L-T4 treatment should be taken in patients with hypothyroidism after 131I therapy and after thyroid surgeries.

BACKGROUND: The occurrenceand development of rheumatoid arthritis were strongly associated with unbalance proliferation and apoptosis of synovial cells and lymphocytes. Some synovial cell apoptosis was abnormal. OBJECTIVE: To observe effects of heterogenic double umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation on Bcl-2 and Bax expression in mice with type Ⅱcollagen-induced arthritis. METHODS: C57BL/6(H-2b) mice were induced with Freund's complete adjuvant and type Ⅱcollagen to establish mouse models of type Ⅱcollagen-induced arthritis.At 2days after secondary immunity incubation, mice were injected with saline via tail vein in the model and normal control groups. Umbilical cord blood hemopoietic stem cells were injected into mouse tail vein in the UBSCs transplantation groups (single dose:2×106/50 g; double dose: 1×106/50 g each, totally 2×106/50 g). Mice were intragastrically administrated methotrexate in the methotrexate positive control group, 0.017 5 g/kg once, once every 5 days, totally six times. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Joint tissue below knee and elbow was obtained at42 days following transplantation. Histopathology displayed that smooth and glossy articular surface, no inflammatory cell infiltration in the synovial layer and normal chondrocytes in the normal control group. Hyperplasia, a lot of inflammatory cell infiltration and damaged cartilage surface were visible in the model group. Slight hyperplasia and a little inflammatory cell infiltration were detectable in the methotrexate positive controlgroup and single UBSCs transplantation group. Double UBSCs transplantation group exhibited smooth and glossy articular cartilage surface, no damage, a little inflammatory cell infiltration. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that Bcl-2 and Bax expression was lower in the double UBSCs transplantation group compared with single UBSCs transplantation group (P < 0.05). Compared with normal control group, no significant difference was detected (P > 0.05). Results suggest that double umbilical cord blood stem cells can induce synovial cell apoptosis in mice with type Ⅱcollagen-induced arthritis in a certain number and action time, and protect synovial membrane against damage.

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) degrades extracellular matrix, which is a necessity of joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis patients. MMP-2 and MMP-9 can evaluate rheumatoid arthritis and serve as an index to predict progressive destruction of the joint. OBJECTIVE: To observe heterogenous allogeneic umbilical cord blood stem cell (UBSC) transplantation on MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in the spleen of mice with type Ⅱ collagen-induced arthritis. METHODS: Fetus cord blood was sterilely obtained and cord blood stem cells were separated. The C57BL/6(H-2b) mice were assigned to five groups (n=10). Except normal control group, models of collagen-induced arthritis were established using complete Freund's adjuvant + type Ⅱ collagen. Mice from the methopterin group were intragastrically administered methopterin suspension 0.017 5 g/kg, once every 5 days. Other groups used caudal vein injection. Mice from the model and normal control groups were injected with saline. Mice from the mono-UBSCs group and double-UBSCs group were injected with 2×106/kg UBSCs from one and two parents. At 42 days following injection, animals were sacrificed and the ankle joint was obtained for histopathological detection. MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression in the spleen was examined using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Double-UBSC transplantation could significantly inhibit inflammatory cell infiltration in synovial tissue of mice with type Ⅱ collagen-induced arthritis, repaired impaired cartilage tissue. The repair effect was better than that in methopterin group and mono-UBSCs group. MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression in the spleen was significantly lower in the double-UBSCs group than the mono-UBSCs group (P < 0.01). These suggest that heterogenous allogeneic double-UBSCs transplantation participated in pathological changes in rheumatoid arthritis cartilage and in synthesis of cartilage extracellular matrix and effectively treated rheumatoid arthritis by regulating MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression.

The average LDL-C level [ DM group: ( 3.0 ± 0.9) mmol/L vs.(3.2 ±1.0) mmol/L, t =2.165, P=0.032; DMH group (2.9 ±1.0) mmol/L vs. (3.2 ±1.1) mmol/L, t=3.210, P=0.002] were also significantly decrease.Compared with the baseline, the comprehensive control rates of blood glucose, blood pressure and lipid level were increased in both groups [DM group:9.7% (19/196) vs.6.1%(12/196),χ2 =1.716, P=0.190, DMH group 13.9%(25/180) vs.5.0%(9/180),χ2 =8.315, P =0.004] .Conclusions The community management program is effective for improvement of comprehensive control rates of blood glucose, blood pressure and blood lipids in diabetic patients with hypertension in Beijing Cuigezhuang community.

Objective To establish homogeneous immunoassay for detecting serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) by using light induced chemiluminescent immunoassay (LiCA). Methods Polyclonal antibodies of cTnI were coated on the receptor particles, monoclonal antibodies of cTnI were biotinylated, and the donor particles were coated with streptavidin, all of which were composed of LiCA reagents. The optimal test conditions and analytical performance of the detection method were studied. Results The method was rapid, sensitive, and detection time was 17.5 min.The analytical sensitivity was 0.045 ng/mL and the functional sensitivity was 0.053 ng/mL.The recovery rate was 104.96%-108.21%;The within-run and the between-run coefficients of variation were 3.88%-5.53%and 7.60%-8.75%, respectively. The interference rates for the endogenous substances were less than 10%. The reference value of cTnI was less than 1.05 ng/mL;Results of cTnI LiCA correlated well with direct chemiluminescence detection (r2 =0.979). Conclusions This approach can be used for the quantitative detection of serum cTnI, and it is homogeneous and is free of clean separation. It provides a convenient, highly sensitive detection platform for clinical practice.
