Objective To investigate the effect of combination low-dose of methotrexate (MTX) and cy-clophosphamide (CTX) intermittent therapy on the synovial cell p53 expression of collagen-indued arthritis Rats. The possible synergistic effect is examined and the possible meehaniams are evaluated. Methods Models of CIA were successfully established in 75 female Wistar rats. The CIA rats were then randomized into controls. At the end of this 24-week study the synovium of ankle joints were obtained, fixed, decalcified, wrapped and cut into slices. The intensity of p53 mutations expressions was examined by immunohistochemi-stry method. Results The intensity of p53 mutations expression of synoviocytes in CIA model group was significantly higher than that in the controls. In addition, the p53 mutations expressions in the synoviocytes of the treatment groups were decreased markedly, which did not return to the baseline level. The improvement of p53 mutations in the combination treatment group was higher than the single treatment groups and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). However, the difference between the combination treatment group and high-dose MTX treatment group was not significant. Conclusion Low-dose of MTX combined with CTX has the same efficacy comparing to high-dose of MTX in inhibiting p53 expression of CIA rats synoviocytes, but it is superior to low-dose single drug group. The results suggest that the combination of MTX and CTX may be synergistic in the treatment of RA.

Objective To investigate the correlation between ipsilateral prominent posterior cerebral artery laterality (PCAL) and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Methods From April 2016 to December 2017, patients with unilateral ICA stenosis≥70% (including occlusion) and contralateral ICA stenosis <50% or no stenosis admitted to the Department of Neurology, Liaoning Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. According to the presence or absence of PCAL on the ipsilateral side of ICA stenosis, they were divided into positive group and negative group, and the severity of WMHs was compared between the 2 groups. The patients were grouped according to the severity of overall WMHs and deep WMHs (DWMHs) and periventricular WMHs (PWMHs) on the ipsilateral side of ICA stenosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independently relevant factors of WMHs. Results A total of 131 patients were enrolled, 65 of them (49.62% ) had ipsilateral PCAL positive. The proportion of severe DWMHs in this group was significantly lower than that in the ipsilateral PCAL negative group (38.46% vs. 59.09% ; χ2 =5.578, P=0.018 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (odds ratio [ OR] 2.196, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.278-3.773; P=0.004), hypertension (OR 3.279, 95% CI 1.107-9.709; P=0.032), and high systolic blood pressure (OR 1.027, 95% CI 1.002-1.053; P=0.031) were independently associated with severe overall WMHs; advanced age (OR 1.957, 95% CI 1.141-3.358; P=0.015) and hypertension (OR 4.739, 95% CI 1.570-14.286; P=0.006) were independently correlated with ipsilateral severe DWMHs, ipsilateral PCAL (OR 0.340, 95% CI 0.135-0.856; P=0.022 ) was independently correlated with ipsilateral mild DWMHs; advanced age (OR 1.805, 95% CI 1.175-2.775; P=0.007) and high systolic blood pressure (OR 1.030, 95% CI 1.007-1.053; P=0.010) were independently correlated with ipsilateral severe PWMHs. Conclusion Ipsilateral PCAL is an independent protective factor for ipsilateral DWMHs in patients with severe ICA stenosis.
