Objective To observe the clinical, neuropathogical, neurophysiological characteristics of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, type 1A (CMT1A) which was similar to chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy(CIDP).Methods The clinical data, neuroelectrophysiological changes and pathological features of sural nerve biopsy were taken from 2 CMT1A patients who were proven to be 17p12 duplication with CIDP features, and analyzed comprehensively. Results Two CMT1A cases with classical chronic course showed both subacute course and clinical manifestations similar to CIDP, however, the changes of neuroelectrophysiology and pathological characteristics of the nerve biopsy in 2 cases were different from CIDP in some way. We confirmed the chronic inflammatory demyelinating type of the CMT1A patients whom the immunotherapy was effective on.Conclusion The classical CMT1A 17p12 duplication patients who obtained immunotherapy effects might resemble CIDP both in clinical course and manifestation.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of allo-human bone marrow mesenchymal stemcells (bMSCs) on the secretion of interleukin(IL)-1, tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and transforming grouth factor (TGF)-β of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in vitro. MethodsBMSCs were isolated from bone marrow of healthy volunteers and purified by density gradient centrifugation and cultured in vitro. The mononuclear cells from the peripheral blood of patients with RA and healthy controls were isolated respectively.bMSCs and mononuclear cells were co-cultured in vitro and the density of IL-1, TNF-α and TGF-β3 in the co-culture system were detected by ELISA. ANOVA and Pearson correlation were used for statistical analysis.ResultsMononuclear cells from peripheral blood of patients with RA were co-cultured with bMSCs for seven days. There were an decreased density ofIL-1[(38.4±0.5) vs(6.2±1.0) ng/L], TNF-α[(29.4±1.3) vs (4.6±1.2) ng/L]and an increased density of TGF-β[(2.6±1.0) vs (22.5±2.2) ng/L]in the co-culture system (P＜0.05). But on the other hand, for healthy volunteers there were no significant change in the density of IL1[(4.4±1.1) ng/L]and TNF-α[(5.0±1.7) ng/L]in the coculture group, as compared with the mononuclear cell group[(4.4±1.3) vs(5.3±1.7) ng/L](P＞0.05). There was an increased density of TGF-β in the coculture system[(4.8±1.4) vs(10.5±1.2) ng/L](P＜0.05). IL-1 was positively correlated to TNF-αt (r=0.896,P=0.000), TNF-β1 was nagative correlation with 1L-1 and TNF-α (r=-0.356,P=0.019; r=-0.380,P=0.000).ConclusionHuman bone marrow MSCs have modulatory effects on main cytokines of patients with RA in vitro. bMSCs could down-regulate the levels of IL-1 and TNF, but up-regulate the density of TGF-β. These immune-modulatory effects are not MHC restricted. The results of this study have provided evidence for the development of effective therapy for RA.

Objective To observe the incidence and transformation of pyuria and bacteriuria in different time point after TURP and supply the evidence for antibiotic application.Methods From March,2011 to May,2012,84 patients with BPH admitted in our hospital.Their ages ranged from 61 to 87 years old,mean (71.9±7.6) years.The volume of prostate in those patients ranged from 27.8 to 118 ml,mean (70.8±24.1) ml.The procedure of TURP was undergone in all of them.In one week after the operation,two urine specimens from each patient,one for urine routine examination and one for urine culture,were collected 24 h after the catheter have been withdrawn.The catheter was also cultured.During the following-up,urine routine examination and urine culture were regularly performed in 1,2,3 months after surgery.If the patient had both pyuria and bacteriuria,he should be excluded the study.Results The pyuria rate on one week,one month,two months and three months were 54.8％ (46/84),100.0％ (82/82),65.8％ (48/ 73),34.2％ (25/73),respectively.There is a significance difference among those groups (P＜0.05).It seemed that the pyuria would appear in all patients.However,the incidence would gradually decrease.It seemed that the pyuria has the tendency of self-recovery.A significant difference of prostatic resection volume after 3 months could be observed in the pyuria group (31.4±15.2 ml) and non-pyuria group (24.8±11.6 ml) (P＜0.05).The bacteriuria rate on one week,1,2,3 months were 7.1％ (6/84),11.0％ (9/82),6.8％ (5/73)and 0,respectively.There is no significance difference among the groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions Pyuria will appear after TURP and the incidence reduced gradually following the time.The pyuria alone without the bacteriuria may be explained by inflammation,that antibiotics were unnecessary.The bacteriuria alone without the pyuria may be considered as asymptomatic bacteriuria or bacterial colonization,antibiotics were unnecessary,either.
