1.Type 2 inflammatory responses in atopic dermatitis
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2021;54(1):84-88
Studies have shown that the type 2 inflammatory response and related cytokines such as interleukin-4 and -13, play a key role in atopic dermatitis (AD) . Th2 cells and type 2 cytokines are the core factors in the type 2 inflammatory response, which is mainly involved in the pathogenesis of AD through 3 pathways: aggravating skin barrier defects; activating and strengthening the itching response; pathologically reprograming regulatory T cells into Th2-like regulatory T cells to amplify the type 2 inflammatory response. This review explores the relationship between the type 2 inflammatory response and AD, aiming to help optimize treatment regimens and provide new treatment options for patients with AD.

Objective:To explore the mechanisms by which DNA methylation regulates miR-126 and its host gene EGFL7 in CD4+T cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods:We analyzed the expression and the DNA methylation status within promoter region of EGFL7 and miR-126 by real-time qPCR and bisulifte genomic sequencing analysis.
Results:miR-126 and EGFL7 mRNA expression was upregulated in CD4+T cells from SLE compared with that from healthy controls (P<0.01). EGFL7 mRNA level was positively correlated with miR-126 expression in CD4+T cells from SLE (r=0.538, P=0.015). The average methylation level of EGFL7 promoter in CD4+T cells from SLE was lower than that from healthy controls (P<0.05).
Conclusion:hTe upregulation of miR-126 and its host gene EGFL7 expression in CD4+T cells from SLE is associated with the hypomethylation of the EGFL7 promoter.

Objective To investigate the reliability of the integrated method for kinetic assay of substrate in the presence of product inhibition using glutathione-S-transferase(GST) as model.Methods Purified GST from pig liver was used to catalyze the conjugation of reduced glutathione(GSH) to 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene(CDNB)(final concentration at 1.0mmol/L),and reaction curve was monitored by product absorbance at 340nm.Maximal product absorbance after the completion of reaction was predicted by the integrated method.Results The optimization of product inhibition constant conferred to resistance to the variation of residual substrate concentration on the estimation of maximal product absorbance.This integrated method for kinetic substrate assay was also resistant to common source of errors.The recovery for extra GSH in rat liver homogenate was above 98% with linear response ranged from 2.0?mol/L to 90 ?mol/L.The concentration of GSH in rat liver was consistent to previous reports.Conclusion The integrated method is valid for kinetic assay of substrate when there is product inhibition,and it exhibits some universality as a kinetic method for enzymatic analysis with obvious advantages.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of dural tenting suture and epidural drainage in craniotomy. Methods In 145 cases of intracranial lesions, dural tenting suture and epidural drainage were performed to prevent epidural hematoma. Results Postoperative computed tomography (CT) showed no epidural hematoma required surgery in both groups. Conclusion Both dural tenting suture and epidural drainage are effective in preventing epidural hematoma. Hemostasis is the key step. Dural tenting suture without epidural drainage relieves psychological stress. It decreases the risk of intracranial infection and avoids some unusual complications.

Objective To analyse the routes and MRI characteristics of disseminated intracranial gliomas after operation. Methods 10 patients of intracranial gliomas confirmed by pathology and intracranial dissemination after operation underwent MRI examina-tions including T_1 WI, FSE T_2 WI, FLAIR and fat-suppressed T_1 WI after intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA. In addition, 4 cases were also examinated with DWI, 1 case with SWI and DTI. Results In 10 cases,there were glioblastoma in 7 cases,grade Ⅱ astro-cytoma in 2 and grade Ⅲ astrocytoma in one. The disseminated tumors were found by MRI in 4 to 56 months after operation. The le-sions in all patients were confirmed with the comparison of contrast-enhanced MRI positive signs between preoperation and post-operation. Plain MR scanning showed line-like thicking with isointensity in 1/7 case/time (C/T)and multiple noduli in 5/7 (C/T) on T_1 WI respectively;shallowed cortical sulci and cistern in 2/7(C/T) and nodular in 5/7(C/T) on T_2 WI;shaUowed cortical aulci and cistern in 2/7 (C/T) and nodular in 6/7(C/T) on FLAIR. The signal intensity of noduli of disseminated tumors in 7 cases were in complete consistency with that of primary neoplasm , however, in 3 cases, it was inconsistent. Enhanced scanning showed 7 ca-ses with the signs of line-like thicking, 7 cases with noduli , 6 cases with :cast-like shape" sign and 6 cases with different extent of hydrocephalus. Conclusion Enhanced MRI can be used as a most useful and reliable monitoring tools for detecting dissemination of brain glioma.

Objective To settle the "bottleneck" disputes existed in the key aspect of emergency treatment care of emergency department, long delayed time of medical workers or patients, perplexity of first-aid personnel, less standard in medical records. Methods Comparison experiment was carried out with the traditional model of emergency care in contrast with the new model, besides the service attitude was improved,the awareness of responsibility was strengthened and the first-aid technique was increased. Number of nursing errors and disputes, hospitalization time, satisfaction degree of patients and record trace-ability were observed. Results The nursing errors and disputes reduced by 46%, hospitalization time re-duced by an average of (7.2±0.2) minutes, satisfaction degree of patients increased by 10.99%, leaving 1673 record traceability of care. Conclusions The application of new management processes of nursing interface in emergency department can settle the "bottleneck" disputes of key interface, make the green passage of emergency patients more convenient and is conducive to safe care, less mortality, high work effi-ciency, which proves to be a reference for fellows.

Objective To investigate the effect of methylguanidine and 1-methylhydantoin on cells cytotoxicity, apoptosis in human renal tubular epithelial cell line (HK-2). Methods Human PTEC cell line HK-2 was used in this study. HK-2 was cultured and divided into 3 groups: Norma1 control group (A), methylguanidine group(B) and 1-methylhydantoin group (C). The cell inhibitory rate of HK-2 was detected by MTT method. The cytotoxicity of methylguanidine to HK-2 was determined by NAG release test. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by using Hoechst stain and FACS with Annexin-V/PI. Results The OD value and NAG concentration of creatinine, methylguanidine and 1-methylhydantoin group were compared with normal control group. OD value decreased and NAG concentration significantly increased(0.188±0.011, 0.176±0.010 vs 0.545±0.021, F=1557.74, P<0.01; 20.488±0.473, 22.225±0.565 vs 5.125±0.198, F=3848.22, P<0.01). By Hoechst stain, pycnosis and apoptotic body could be found when HK-2 was cultivated in methylguanidine 1-methylhydantoin group. In methylguanidine, 1-methylhydantoin group apoptotic HK-2 apparently increased, compared with that in control group (18.23±1.1581, 20.22±1.1433 vs 2.473±0.321, F=526.06, P<0.01). Compared with group B, the OD value in group C decreased significantly (0.176±0.010 vs 0.188±0.011,t=2.26, P<0.05), NAG concentration increased significantly (22.225±0.565 vs 20.488±0.473,t=-6.67, P<0.01), and apoptotic rate in-creased significantly (20.22±1.1433 vs 18.23±1.1581,t=-2.762, P<0.05). Conclusions 1-methylhydantoin has more powerful cytotoxic effect to renal tubular epithelial cells than that of Methylguanidine.
