Background C57BL/6andB10R Ⅲareroutinemurinespeciesusedinexperimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU).The inflammation is light for mouse after immunization whereas it is prominent for B10R Ⅲ.ObjectiveThis study was to observe the killing effect of interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (IRBP) 1-20-specific T cells on mouse retinal astrocyte.Th1 and Th17 cells effect in the EAU mechanism was discussed.MethodsB10RllⅢ mice and C57BL/6 mice were immunized with IRBP 161-180 and IRBP 1-20 in complete Freund adjuvant (CFA).The infiltrating cells of diseased B10R Ⅲ eyes were analyzed by flow cytometry.IRBP 1-20-specific T cells were isolated from the drainage lymph node and spleen and cultured in IL-2 or IL-23 for Th1 and Th17 cells polarization,respectively.Th1 and Th17 cells cultured for 5 days were seeded on the mouse retinal astrocyte monolayer pretreated with gamma interferon.Cell interaction was observed and the quantity of TNF-α was tested by ELISA.Every test was repeated 6 times and the mean was calculated.The maintenance of experimental animals complied with the Statement of ARVO.ResultsThere were lots of infiltrating cells in the eyes of B10Rm mice after immunization,including 9.5％ IFNγ+ cells,5.1％ IL-17+cells and 41.4％ CD45+ cells.Six days after IRBP1-20 stimulation and cultured by IL-2 and IL-23,44.0％ and 8.0％ cells were IFNγ+,and 1.0％ and 26.0％ cells were IL17+.Twentyfour hours after the interaction between Th1 or Th17 and retinal astrocyte,retinal astrocyte died and detached.The killing effect of Th17 was stronger than Th1.48 hours after co-culture of Th1 or Th17T cells with astrocytes,the concentrations of TNF-α were ( 500± 10 ) and ( 801 ±24 μg/L) μg/L,respectively,with a significant statistical difference (t =-20.36,P =0.00).ConclusionsBoth Th1 and Th17 can kill retinal astrocyte,but Th17 plays a key role in the EAU pathogenesis process.The killing effect is caused by intercellular contact and interaction under the induction of cytokines.

Medullary thyroid cancer is a kind of rare malignancy arising from unregulated replication of parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Therapeutic approaches to patients with medullary thyroid cancer have their own features,which are different from those to patients with papillary thyroid cancer,the most com-mon type of thyroid cancer. The targeted therapy using tyrosine kinase inhibitors has brought new hope for the management of aggressive medullary thyroid cancer in recent years.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of trimetazidine/coenzyme Q10 combination in the treatment of the elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods Sixty-two male patients aged over 80 years with CHF were randomly divided into intervention group and control group.Patients in control group received optimal conventional CHF therapy according to the guideline for CHF,while patients in intervention group received trimetazidine of 20 mg,3 times per day,coenzyme Q10 20 mg,3 times per day,additionally for 6 weeks.Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD),plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP),6 min walking distance (6MWT) and NYHA cardiac function classification of two groups before and after treatment were observed.Results Before treatmen,the NYHA function class of patients in intervention and control groups were 2.8±0.7,2.7±0.7 respectively,after treatment were 2.1± 0.6,2.4 ± 0.7 respectively,the differences were significant before and after treatment (t=6.808,2.249;P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Before treatment,BNP of intervention and control groups were (540±351)ng/L,(483 ± 351) ng/L respectively,after treatment were (219± 172) ng/L,(316 ± 202) ng/L respectively,the differences were significant before and after treatment (Z =-4.927,-4.042;P ＜ 0.01).Moreover,after treatment,NYHA function class and plasma BNP in intervention group were significantly better than those in control group (t =-2.109,P ＜ 0.05;Z =-2.219,P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,LVEF,LVEDD and 6MWT of intervention group were (44.3 ± 3.1) ％,(54.0 ± 4.7) mm and (217.0 ± 60.9) m respectively,after treatment were (46.8±3.9) ％,(53.2±4.3) mm and (267.0±91.1) m respectively,the differences were significant before and after treatment(t=-8.313,2.254,-4.561;P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).Moreover,after treatment,LVEF and 6MWT in intervention group were significantly better than those in control group ((44.9± 3.5)％,(213.2 ±78.1) m;t =2.000,2.186;P ＜ 0.05).No significant adverse events were detected in the intervention group.Conclusion Combination of trimetazidine and coenzyme Q10 on the basis of the conventional treatment in the elderly with CHF,can further improve cardiac dysfunction and have a good safety.

Objective To study the effects of uhrashortwave and low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in fracture healing. Methods Fifty-six New Zeal-and rabbits with artificial fractures were randomly divided into 4 groups:a control group,an ultrashortwave group,a low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field group and an ultrashortwave combined with low frequency pulsed electro-magnetic field group(combined group),with 14 in each group.Radiographic evaluation of callus formation and frac-ture healing,pathohistological examination and detection of VEGF expression through immunohistochemical staining were performed at the 1 st,2nd,4th and 6th week after the operation. Results Radiographic examination showed that there was significantly greater callus formation in the combined group than in the other groups throughout the healing process. Pathohistological examination also revealed significantly more cartilage islets and callus formation in the combined group.At the 1 st,2nd and 4th week after the operation,VEGF positive indexes in the combined group were significantly higher than in the other groups. Conclusion Uhrashortwave combined with low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field exposure can up-regulate the expression of VEGF and thus can accelerate fracture healing.

BACKGROUND:Comeal graft endothelial cell density may decline spontaneously at a super-physiological speed after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP),even if no corneal rejection happens,and this is chronic corneal allograff dysfunction (CCAD).OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of topical corticosteroid treatment on chronic corneal allograft dysfunction after PKP.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A controlled clinical analysis was performed at the Department of Ophthalmology,Tongji Hospital,Tongji University from May 2004 to May 2009.PARTICIPANTS:A total of 54 patients (eyes) who underwent PKP were included in this study.METHODS:Tobramycin-dexamethasone eyedrops was applied 6 times per day as an initial dosage and tapered during 4 months.Thereafter,drug withdrawal group and long term group were randomly divided.Treatments were ceased in the drug withdrawal group but were continued in the long-term group with a dosage of twice per day till 12 months after surgery.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Corneal graft endothelial cell density was followed up.The mean follow up pedod was 3.12±0.28years.RESULTS:The corneal graft endothelial cell density of drug withdrawal and long term groups was dramatically declined within 36 months after PKP.At every time point,the endothelial cell density was significantly decreased compared to the last follow up (all P＜0.01 ).The endothelial cell density was decreased from (2 428±2.11) cells/mm~2 and (2 791±2.29) cells/mm~2 to (1 424±124) cells/mm~2 and (1 614±114) cells/mm~2 in the drug withdrawal and long-term groups,respectively.There was significant difference in endothelial cell density between the two groups no matter prior to surgery or at each time points after surgery,but the declination trends of two groups were basically the same,indicating that graft loss of endothelial cell density was not impacted by topical corticosteroid treatment after PKP (P＞0.05).CONCLUSION:Chronic corneal allograft dysfunction after PKP is independent of topical corticosteroid treatment.

Objective To explore the spatial distribution and spatial clustering of brucellosis in Zibo,2013-2015.Methods Spatial autocorrelation analysis was used to analyze the surveillance data of brucellosis at town level.Township as a spatial analysis unit,spatial distribution of brucellosis in small scale in Zibo City was analyzed.Results The global Moran's I indexes of brucellosis were not significantly different in 2013-2015.According to local Moran's Ⅰ statistic,the high-high regions were Xindian Street and Jiangjunlu Street in 2013.The high-high regions were Tangfang Town,Jinshan Town,Luocun Town,Zhaili Town,Xihe Town and Longquan Town in 2014.The high-high region was Wangcun Town in 2015.Condusions Our study has showed that the spatial distribution of brucellosis is local clustered in Zibo.The detection of hotspots could provide guidance for formulating regional prevention and control strategies.
