Objective:To study the effect of IL-17 on viral myocarditis in mice. Methods:We randomly selected 20 wild type BALB/c mice as the control group,20 IL-17A-/- mice for IL-17A-/- group,20 IL-17A-/- mice for IL-17 group. Each mouse had intrap-eritoneal injection of Coxsackie virus B3 (Coxsackie virus B3,CVB3) to construct VMC model. The serum levels of IL-17 were detected by ELISA method,and Th17 cells were detected by flow cytometry. After 3 days of treatment with CVB3,100 μg IgG antibody was injected intraperitoneally in control group and L-17A-/- group,and 100 μg IL-17mAb was injected with IL-17 group. Mice myocardium was collected at 3rd,7th and 14th days,respectively,after CVB3 treatment. Pathological examination was carried out on the myocardial sections of mice and stained with H&E. Virus titer in mouse myocardium was examined. The contents of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-23 and IL-17 in myocardial tissue were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results:We successfully constructed the model of mice with viral myocarditis. The levels of Th17 and IL-17 in serum of IL-17 group were significantly lower than those in control group and IL-17-/-group. On the fourteenth day after CVB3 treatment,the degree of myocardial tissue damage in the control group was significantly higher than that in the IL-17A-/- group and the IL-17 group(P<0. 05),the degree of myocardial injury in IL-17 mice was higher than that in the IL-17A-/- group. The virus titer of the control group was higher than that of IL-17A-/-group and IL-17 group,and the control group was increased with the increase of CVB3 treatment phase (P< 0. 05). After the IL-17mAb was injected,the virus titer of IL-17 group was higher than that of IL-17A-/- group. The levels of IL-17, IL-23, IL-6 and TNF-α in IL-17-/- group and IL-17 group were significantly lower than those in control group. The levels of IL-17,IL-23,IL-6 and TNF-αin IL-17 group were significantly higher than those in IL-17-/-group (P<0. 05). Conclusion:IL-17 is an important inflammatory factor in viral myocarditis,and IL-17 deletion can protect myocardium from viral myocarditis in mice.

OBJECTIVE:To study the impact of ethanol volume fraction on the extract rate of ginsenoside monomer. METH-ODS:Water and different volume fraction of ethanol solution(20%,50%,70%,95%,V/V)were used for ginseng extract. High performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry (Q-TOF LC/MS) was applied to identify compo-nents attributable of each peak. Especially 16 kinds of main saponins were analyzed. RESULTS:The volume fraction of ethanol had a significant impact on extract rate of ginsenoside. When the volume fraction of ethanol was 70%,extract rate of ginsenoside was the highest;however,the differences were mainly caused by protopanaxatriol saponins. The yield of protopanaxadiol ginsen-osides was similar in different volume fraction of ethanol solution. CONCLUSIONS:When the volume fraction of ethanol is differ-ent,result is not only different in the total saponin,but also different in the proportion of the monomers.

Objective To explore the clinical value of gastric bare area (GBA) for the prognosis of gastric fundus and cardia carcinoma.Methods The data of 82 patients with gastric fundus and cardia carcinoma from January 2010 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into group A (49 cases) with cancer cell invasion in GBA and group B (33 cases) without invasion in GBA.All the patients underwent D2 gastrectomy plus surgical resection of GBA and were treated by 6 cycles of postoperative FOLFOX-4 chemotherapy scheme.Postoperative follow-up and survival analysis were carried out for patients in both groups.Results According to survival analysis (Kaplan-Meier method),the postoperative 1-,2-and 3-year cumulative survival rates of the patients in group A were 91.8 ％,57.3 ％ and 29.0 ％,respectively,while those of the patients in group B were 93.9 ％,75.0 ％ and 48.2 ％,respectively.The median survival times of the patients in group A and group B were 27.0 months and 36.0 months,respectively,which was demonstrated existing statistical significance(X2 =4.972,P =0.026).Conclusions The prognosis of gastric fundus and cardia carcinoma patients with invasion in GBA by cancer cells is poor.Surgical resection of GBA may help to improve the prognosis of the patients with gastric fundus and cardia carcinoma.

Objective To study the clinical effect, safety of stains collapse of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonist-a recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor:Fc fusion protein (rhTNF:Fc) and sulfasalazine (SSZ) in treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods A total of 98 patients of AS of Gansu Provincial Hospital were divided into two groups in random, the western medicine group (rhTNF:Fc and SSZ, n=46) and the combining group (stains collapse of TCM, rhTNF:Fc and SSZ, n=52). The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Patient Global Assessment (PGA), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of night pain, VAS of total pain, time of morning stiffness, TCM symptom score, distance between occipital and wall, distance between finger and ground,
thoracic activity, Schober test, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), adverse reactions before and after treatment were observed and the clinical effect was evaluated in two groups. Results A total of 86 patients achieved the study finally, 45 patients in the combining group and 41 patients in the western medicine group. The effective rate of ASAS20 was better in the combining group than that in the western medicine group(χ2=4.814,P=0.028), the Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) 50 showed no significant difference between the two group (χ2=0.100,P=0.752). The total effective rate in the combining group than that in the western medicine group(χ2=3.873,P=0.049). In comparison with the same group before treatment, the above indicators were improved after treatment (P<0.05). In comparison with the western medicine group after treatment, BASFI, PGA, VAS of night pain, VAS of total pain, time of morning stiffness, TCM symptom score, distance between occipital and wall, distance between finger and ground and Schober test were getting better in the combining group (P<0.05), but BASDAI, thoracic activity, ESR, CRP were not improved in the combining group (P>0.05). The adverse reactions showed no significant difference (P>0.05).
