Objective To investigate the effects of arsenic trioxide (ATO) on the expression of autoan-tibody and interleukin (IL)-10 IL-12 in MRL/lpr mice. Methods MRL/lpr mice wereseparated into 3 different groups. The 3 groups received arsenic trioxide (ATO, 0.4 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), cyclophosphamide (CTX,50 mg/kg) and sodium chloride (NS, volume weight-determined) abdominal injection respee-tively. The treatment stopped 2 months later. Afterwards, the rates of CD3~+(T) cells, CD3~+CD4~+(Th) cells and the CD3~+CD4~+cells which produced IL-10 and IL-12 were detected using single-cell measurement of intr-acellular eytokines by flow cytometry after polyclonal stimulation with PMA and ionomycin for 4 hours in 5% CO_(2.)Serum levels of IL 10 and IL-12 were assessed using the Mouse cytokines ELISA Kit. One-way ANOVA LSD test and paires t test were used for statistical analysis.Results ①The level of anti-dsDNA antibody after treatment was 0.92±0.06, while it was 1.14±0.58 before treatment. So the ds-DNA antibody level was significantly decreased in ATO group (P<0.01), while it was dramatically increased in the NS groups (P<0.05) after the treatment;②ATO group had significantly less CD3~+ cells and CD3~+CD4~+ cells[(44±4)% and (20±4)%]compared withNS group [(59±5)%and(30±3)%](P<0.01).③The serum level of IL-12 in the ATO group was (84±12) pg/ml,while it was (103±13)pg/ml in the NS group (P=0.018).④The intracellular levels of IL-10 and IL-12 produced by CD3~+CD4~+ (Th) cells in the ATO group were ( 1.5±0.4)% and (2.43±0.42)%, which was significantly lower than those in the NS group respectively (2.5±0.5)% and (3.24±0.40)%(P<0.01). Conclusion Arsenic trioxide can reduce the production of anti-dsDNA antibody,inhibit the activation and proliferation of both T cells and Th subsets in the MRLApr mice, and hence decrease the serum levels of IL-12 and the levels of IL-10, IL-12 produced by Th cells.

Objective:To study the pharmacokinetic process ofbrucine from normal and ultra-micro powder ofsemen strychni in rat serum.Methods:HPLC techniques were used.All pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated with a 3P87 program.Results:The pharmacokinetics results indicated that the normal powder and the ultra-micro powder ofsemen strychni belonged to two compartment open model.The absorb ofbrucine was just several ten minutes, and there was no obvious difference ofTmax between normal powder and ultra-micro powder.This showed that:Brucine was some material that was easily absorbed.But we can find that Cmax increased from(51.13?0.48)?g/L to(69.26?1.40)?g/L after ultra-micro powder preparation which was quite obvious.K,Ka,B and ? had a obvious increase(P

Objective:Dissolution test was applied to study the dissolution rates of strychnine from the normal and ultramicro powder of semen strychi. Methods:HPLC techniques was used to detect the dissolution amount and the dissolution velocity of strychnine from the normal and ultra-micro powder of semen strychi. Results:The dissolution velocity of strychnine from the ultra-micro powder was higher than that from the normal powder,but there was no difference in the dissolution amount 4 hours later. Conclusion:The dissolution velocity of strychnine from the ultra-micro powder increased greatly and there was no loss of the principal active.

Objective:To research the clinical effect of HeDanPian combined with edaravone in the treatment of acute cerebral in farction and the influence on serum levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ),promote angiogenin Ⅱ (Ang-2),homocysteine (Hcy).Methods:102 cases of patients with acute cerebral infarction were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group,with 51 cases in each group.The control group was treated with edaravone,intravenous infusion of30mg edaravone,1 time in the morning and night;The experimental group was treated based on the control group treated with HeDanPian,oral HeDanPian 14.6 g,1 time in the early to middle.The curative effect,nerve function defect score (NIHSS),serum IFN-γ Ang-2,Hcy,propylene glycol (MDA),superoxide disproportionation alcohol (SOD),interleukin 6,10 (IL-6,IL-10),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) levels,incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate,serum Ang-2,SOD,IL-10 levels of experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P＜0.05),the NIHSS,serum IFN-γ,Hcy,MDA,IL-6,TNF-α levels of experimental group were lower than those of the control group (P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in the incidence of adverse reactions was found between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion:HeDanPian combined with edaravone was effective in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction,which could regulate the expression of serum IFN-γ,Ang-2 and Hcy,improve the oxidative stress and inflammation.

Objective:To propose a new grading system-the posterior ligament-bone injury classification and severity (PLICS) score for subaxial cervical spine injury, and evaluate its value in guiding the approach selection for subaxial cervical fracture and dislocation.Methods:All of 394 cases of subaxial cervical fracture and dislocation who received single anterior reduction and fixation in our hospital from January 2002 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 354 cases were finally included in this study. The Patients experienced internal fixation failure, postoperative kyphosis or interspinal process space dilation during follow-up were included into the failure group. Other patients were included into the successful group. The difference of visual analogue scale (VAS), neck disability index (NDI), ASIA score and PLICS score before and after surgery between the two groups was compared respectively. The PLICS score is composed of left, right and posterior columns. The injury of the posterior column was classified into mild, moderate and severe degrees, with 1-3 points respectively. The evaluation of lateral column injury included ligament and bone structure. The evaluation of ligament injury included: 1 point for the subluxation of the facet joint, 2 points for the dislocation or the facet joint; Fractures of the lateral column was classified into mild, moderate and severe degrees, with 1-3 points respectively. For the evaluation of the lateral column, the highest score of ligament or bone structure injury was reflected as the score of posterior column injury and was taken into the calculation of the final PLICS score.Results:All 354 patients had complete follow-up data, and the average follow-up time was 18.0±4.0 months, including 339 patients of successful group and 15 patients of failure group. At the 12 month follow-up, the average VAS score of the patients in the successful group decreased from 6.9±0.6 before the operation to 1.9±0.6 ( t=22.481, P<0.0001), and the average VAS score of the patients in the failure group decreased from 5.6±1.0 to 1.1±0.3 ( t=77.252, P<0.0001). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. The NDI score of the successful group was significantly lower than that of the failure group (7.1%±1.2% vs 15.7%±2.7%, t=24.993, P<0.0001). PLICS score in two groups of patients were analyzed. There was a significant difference in PLICS scores between the two groups ( t=8.777, P<0.0001). According to the PLICS score, the ROC operating curve of the failure of internal fixation after anterior-only surgery was determined. The area under the curve was 0.981, and the 95% confidence interval was 0.943, 1.000. When the PLICS score was 6.5, the maximum value of the Jordan index was 0.927, the sensitivity was 0.994, and the specificity was 0.067. Considering the clinical practicality of PLICS score and the different clinical outcomes of the sub-classification groups of the PLICS score=7, we finally set the threshold as PLICS score=7 with the unilateral severe lateral mass fracture. Conclusion:The PLICS score is based on the anatomy of the posterior three-column structure of the subaxial cervical spine. It gives consideration to the bony structures, including bilateral lateral mass, spinous process, lamina, and the ligament structures. What's more, the overall damage severity of the posterior three columns of the subaxial cervical spine was quantified according to the evaluation of the injury characteristics of each column of ligament-bone structure. In this study, PLICS score and clinical efficacy were compared between two groups of patients, and it was finally determined that when PLICS score ≥7 with the unilateral severe lateral mass fracture, the risk of internal fixation failure is higher for anterior-only approach surgery alone. For these patients, anterior and posterior approach surgery may be considered.
