Chronic rhinosinusitis is a common disease and frequently encountered disease in otolaryngology, but the therapeutic effect is not ideal. While its pathogenesis is exploring in the continuously. Found in the recent years, Th17 cells are a new subset of T cells and closely related with inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases and cancer. Its differentiation, regulation and biological effects are widely noted as a hot area of research. This review explores the discovery of differentiation and regulation of Th17 cells, the relationship between related cytokines and chronic rhinosinusitis, in order to have a beteer knowledge of chronic rhinosinusitis. This review regards Th17 cells as the main clue, nevertheless, lacking consideration of the impacts of other factors on chronic rhinosinusitis.

Objective:To explore bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibition in the regulation of vascular endothelial cells activation and early atherosclerosis formation and its potential molecular mechanisms.Methods:1.Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and mouse heart endothelial cells (MHEC) were isolated,and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) was used to activate in flammatory genes transcription in the presence or absence of JQ1,a specific BET inhibitor.The groups are as follows:(1)Normal control group;(2) TNFα(25 ng/mL)group;(3) TNFα+JQ 1 group.The gene mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory cytokines were measured by both real-time PCR and flow cytometry (FCM).2.LDL receptor-deficient (LDLR-/-) mice were randomly divided into 2 groups:JQ1 group (n=8,JQlintraperitoneal,50 mg/kg,daily) and control group (n=8,DMSO,daily).After 8 weeks feeding with high cholesterol diet,vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression in aortic arch was measured by immunohistochemistry.The activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling was monitored by 5XκB luciferase reporter assay in HEK293.Results:TNFα dramatically induced the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory genes and JQ 1 significantly downregulated the induction of them (E-selectin,P-selectin,VCAM-1,IL-8)(P<0.01).Immunohistochemistry detection indicated that JQ1 significantly downregulated the expression of VCAM-1 in aortic arch induced by 8 weeks high cholesterol diet feeding comparing to control group.In addition,BET bromodomain inhibition downregulated TNFα upregulated NF-κB transcriptional activity (P<0.01).Conclusions:Our study demonstrated that BET bromodomain was involved in NF-κB mediated inflammatory genes expression;inhibition of BET bromodomain suppressed vascular endothelial activation in vitro,and attenuated early atherogenesis in vivo.

Objective To assess the role of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of prostatic cancer. Methods Six volunteers, 32 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and 13 patients with biopsy-proven prostatic cancer underwent MR imaging. Dynamic MR with Gd-DTPA (gadolinium-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid) bolus enhancement was performed followed by post-contrast T 1-weighed imaging. The signal intensive value in dynamic MRI was measured and calculated to draw the time-signal intensity curve of normal peripheral zone, prostatic cancer and benign hyperplasia. Results In dynamic MRI, the normal peripheral zone were enhanced mildly and slowly. The lesion enhancement of benign prostatic hyperplasia in 32 patients were obvious in early phase (60 s) and strengthened gradually, and then went to decrease in late phase (240 s) after peak value. The lesions in 9 of 13 cases with prostate cancer were enhanced obviously in early phase (60 s) and washed out rapidly in late phase, and the peak value was located on early phase. Conclusions In dynamic MRI, the enhancement of normal peripheral zone, prostate cancer and benign hyperplasia were different significantly. Dynamic MRI was very useful in the diagnosis and differentiation of prostate cance.

Objective To evaluate the effect of oxycodone pretreatment on autophagy during renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Thirty-six SPF healthy adult male Wistar rats,aged 6-9 weeks,weighing 180-220 g,were divided into 3 groups (n=12 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (Sham group),I/R group and oxycodone pretreatment group (Oxy group).The left renal pedicles were clamped with atraumatic microclips for 45 min followed by reperfusion to establish the model of renal I/R injury in I/R and Oxy groups.Oxycodone 0.5 mg/kg was injected via the caudal vein at 15 min before ischemia in group Oxy,and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in I/R and Sham groups.At 24 h of reperfusion,blood samples were collected from hearts for measurement of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations.The animals were then sacrificed and left renal tissues were obtained for examination of pathological changes (with a light microscope) and for determination of Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 expression (by immunohistochemistry).Results Compared with Sham group,the concentrations of serum Cr and BUN were significantly increased,and the expression of Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 in renal tissues was up-regulated at 24 h of reperfusion in I/R and Oxy groups (P<0.05).Compared with I/R group,the concentrations of serum Cr and BUN were significantly decreased,the expression of Bcl-2 in renal tissues was up-regulated,and the expression of Beclin-1 in renal tissues was down-regulated at 24 h of reperfusion (P<0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in Oxy group.Conclusion Oxycodone pretreatment inhibits autophagy through up-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and down-regulating the expression of Beclin-1,thus attenuating renal I/R injury in rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sufentanil postconditioning on renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats and the relationship with autophagy.Methods Thirty pathogen-free healthy adult male Wistar rats,aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 180-220 g,were divided into 3 groups (n=10 each)using a random nunber table:sham operation group (group S),group I/R and sufentanil postconditioning group (group SP).The left renal pedicle was clamped for 45 mnin with an atraumatic vascular clamp followed by reperfusion,and the right kidney was removed immediately after onset of reperfusion in anesthetized rats to establish the model of renal I/R injury in I/R and SP groups.In group S,the left renal pedicle was only isolated,and the right kidney was removed.Sufentanil 1 μg/kg was injected via the tail vein at 5 min before reperfusion in group SP,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S and I/R groups.At 24 h of reperfusion,blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture for measurement of serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations.The animnals were then sacrificed,and the left renal specimens were obtained for examination of pathological changes (with light microscopes) and for determination of the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and Beclin-1 in renal tissues (by immuno-histochemistry).Results Conpared with group S,the serum Cr and BUN concentrations were significantly increased,and the expression of LC3 and Beclin-1 in renal tissues was up-regulated (P<0.05),and the pathological changes of kidneys were aggravated in I/R and SP groups.Compared with group I/R,the serum Cr and BUN concentrations were significantly decreased,the expression of LC3 and Beclin-1 in renal tissues was down-regulated (P<0.05),and the pathological changes of kidneys were significantly attenuated in group SP.Conclusion Sufentanil postconditioning can attenuate renal I/R injury,and the mechanism may be related to inhibition of autophagy in rats.
