Objective To explored the effects of vehicle exhaust on the cardiovascular system in a panel of 32 middle and old aged people,to discover the sensitive effect indicators of vehicle exhaust. Methods Thirty-two middle and old aged people living near a main road were followed-up,The health-related indicators and individual time-weighted outdoor exposure concentration of air pollutants were determined;The mixed model was used to evaluate association between vehicle exhaust and health indicators of cardiovascular system. Results In single-pollutant models,TNF-? was positively associated with PM10,SO2,NO2 and FVC,IL-6 was negative. The indicators of heart rate variability(HRV) in SDNN(?:-0.57,SE:0.18) ,SDNN index(?:-0.74,SE:0.20) had a strong association with PM10,and NO2 related indicators was SDNN index(?:-0.66,SE:0.17) . In the multi-pollutant model,after adjusting the effect of other pollutants,IL-6 had a positive correlation with PM10;And TNF-? was positively correlated to NO2,SO2;FVC had a negative correlation with PM10. Conclusion The air pollutants of this location show a vehicle exhausts characteristic,and the pollution is serious;TNF-?,IL-6,FVC,SDNN,SDNN index are closely related to exposure of the vehicle exhaust,and can be used to evaluate the effects of vehicle exhaust pollution on the cardiovascular system of the elderly.

Objectives To investigate the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs and pulmonary embolism (PE) caused by hypercoagubility in patients with nephrotic syndrome and to estimate the indication and clinical effect of anticoagulation therapy. Methods 54 patients with nephrotis syndrome(thirty-one males and twenty-three females with mean age: 44 13?15 88, 24 hours proteinuria:8 43?5 64g, albuminemia: 20 48?5 41g/L) were enrolled in this study.DVT of lower limbs and PE were confirmed by radionuclide imaging (RNV) with 99mTc-MAA and the clinical effect of subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and oral antiplatelet coagulation therapy were evaluated as well. Results 41 out of 54 cases (76%) had DVT of lower limbs, 14 8% of which had clinical manifestations. 32 out of 54 cases (59 25%) had PE, 7 4% of which had symptoms. 70 7% of PE were caused by DVT of lower limbs. No patient died of PE after the LMWH treatment.Conclusions DVT is one of the most important complications of NS. RNV can be used to make early diagnosis of DVT of lower limbs and PE. Early anticoagulation therapy might ameliorate the prognosis of NS and lower the mortality of PE.

Objective To elucidate clinical and pathological features of obesity-associated focalsegmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS). Methods Clinicopathological data of thirteen obese cases (BMI3≥28kg/m2) with FSGS(OB-FSGS) and thirteen non-obese cases(BMI

Objective To investigate the human leucocyte antigen (HLA) expression of ectopic endometrial epithelial cells in cases with endometriosis and its role in pathogenesis of endometriosis Methods By immunohistochemical analysis,HLA expression was observed in ectopic endometrial epithelial cells of 25 endometriosis patients Ectopic endometrial cells were cultured in vitro successfully and the expression of HLA were analyzed by flow cytometry in 10 out of the 25 patients Eutopic endometrium of 15 normal women were taken as control Results (1)Expression of HLA class Ⅰ molecule on ectopic endometrial epithelial cells of endometriosis measured by the immunohistochemical analysis was lower than those of controls, (4 0?0 5) score and (1 2?0 8) score respectively So was the expression rate by flow cytometry in vitro culture (63 38?11 88)% and (5 27? 2 88)% respectively ( P

Objective\ To investigate the effect and safety of LMWH on treatment of nephrotic syndrome(NS).Methods\ We randomized 43 patients with primary NS into 2 groups.Steroid and cyclophosphamide were given in control group.LMWH with the dosage of 3200～5000IU twice per day was added in the treated group.Results\ After 4 to 6 weeks of treatment,a significant increase in AT-Ⅲ,anti-Xa activity and serum albumin and decrease in fibrinogen and proteinuria were observed in LMWH.Conclusion\ LMWH should be recommended as a useful treatment of NS.

We analyzed the anticancer effect and mechanism of the novel indoleamine 2,‍3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitor NLG-919 combined with temozolomide (TMZ) on human glioma cell lines. The anti-tumor activity of NLG-919 and temozolomide after single and combined treatments was detected by MTT assay. Colony formation assay, invasion assay and migration assays were used to detect the effects of NLG-919 and temozolomide alone or in combination on proliferation, invasion and migration of human glioma cells. A flow cytometry assay was used to detect cell apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial membrane potential damage (JC-1). An immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expression level of IDO1 and HPLC was used to detect the expression level of L-kynurenine (Kyn) to explore the anti-tumor mechanism of NLG-919 and temozolomide. The results show that NLG-919 had a weak in vitro inhibitory effect compared to that of temozolomide. The IC₅₀ of NLG-919 on U251 cells and U87 after 72 h was 26.9 and 30.7 μmol·L^-1, respectively. However, when NLG-919 was used in combination with temozolomide, its anti-glioma activity was significantly increased. Compared with the single treatment, the combination treatment had a potent ability to inhibit proliferation, invasion and migration of glioma cells. Combination treatment improved the capacity of temozolomide to induce cell cycle arrest and inhibit the growth of glioma cells. NLG-919 significantly down-regulated the expression and activity of IDO1 in glioma cells, and the inhibitory effect was improved after combination with temozolomide, and effectively blocked the production of Kyn through the metabolism of L-tryptophan (Trp). In conclusion, the IDO1 inhibitor NLG-919 and temozolomide showed synergistic effects in the anticancer therapy of human glioma cell lines.
