ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and related mechanism of triptolide pretreatment to prevent from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice liver. MethodsSixty male C57BL/6 mouse were randomized into four groups (15/group): A:sham group with saline , B: sham group with triptolide, C: saline I/R group, D: triptolide I/R group. The mice were pretreated with either saline or triptolide (0. 1 mg/kg/d) through intraperitoneal (ip) injection for one week. The mouse partial liver model of I/R injury was established, and samples were collected at 24 h after the I/R injury. ResultsSerum ALT and AST levels were significantly decreased and histological damage was significantly alleviated in the triptolide I/R group as compared with the saline I/R group (P＜0.05), the concentration of MDA in the triptolide groups was significantly decreased, while SOD activity was significantly increased compared with that of the saline I/R group (P＜0.05). The percentages of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) cells among CD4+ T cells in groups A, B, C, and D were(7. 55 ± 1.87)%, (12. 59±3. 87)%,(7. 85±1.07)%, and(12. 02±3. 16)% in liver tissue, respectively. The expression levels of Foxp3 mRNA were significantly higher in the triptolide I/R group than those of saline I/R group (P＜0. 05). ELISA showed that triptolide could significantly inhibit the levels of IL-6, IL-Iβ and TNF-αand promoted the level of IL-10 in the serum (P＜0.05). Conclusion Pretreatment with triptolide could effectively prevent from liver I/R injury, which may be related to the induction of Treg cells by triptolide, the increase in the level of IL-10 in serum, and the inhibition of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α production in serum.

Objective To analyze the polymorphic character of HLA-A,B,DRB1 alleles at highresolution level in Ji-nan Han population.Methods A total of 483 unrelated and healthy Han ethnic individual from Ji-nan region were genotyped by PCR-SBT for HLA-A,B and DRB1 loci.Then allelic and haplotypic frequencies were calculated by maximum likelihood estimation method using Arlequin software.Results There were 27,56 and 41 alleles identified at HLA-A,B and DRB1 loci respectively,and the most common alleles were A * 11∶01(0.1615),B * 13∶02(0.1163) and DRB1 * 07∶01 (0.1763).The three loci haplotype was dominated by A* 30∶01-B * 13∶02-DRB1 * 07∶01 with a frequency of 0.0867.Conclusion The HLA-A,B and DRB1 loci are highly polymorphic in Ji-nan Han population.

Objective To study the CT findings of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Methods The CT examinations of 12 patients with pathologically proven pulmonary MALT lymphoma were reviewed retrospectively. Evaluated imaging findings included number, distribution,shape, attenuation and other associated findings of each lesion were evaluated. Results Thirty-two pulmonary lesions, including consolidations, masses, nodules and lesions with ground glass attenuation,were identified in 12 patients. Multiple lesions were founded in 10 of 12 patients and solitary lesion in 2 patients. Multiple lesions found in one lung in 2 patients, and multiple lesions found in both lungs in 8 patients. Ten cases demonstrated 21 consolidation lesions with air bronchogram, and one of the ten cases demonstrated two lesions with airway dilatation. Three cases demonstrated 5 masses or nodular lesions, 3 of these 5 lesions showed air bronchogram. Two cases demonstrated 6 ground glass attenuation lesions. One case showed mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy. Conclusion Pulmonary MALT lymphoma usually appears as multiple bilateral consolidations, masses, nodules with air bronchogram or lesions with groundglass attenuation at CT imaging. The imaging findings described above and with an indolent clinical course may suggest the diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of triptolide (TPT) pretreatment against liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in mice and the possible mechanism. Methods Sixty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups (15/group): ( 1 ) TPT I/R group: The mouse partial liver model of I/R injury was established by the method of Koba-yashi. The portal triad (hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile duct) was occluded with a microvascular clamp for 90 min and 24 h reperfusion; (2) Sham group with TPT: Mice underwent surgical procedures including isolation of the portal triad without occlusion; (3) Saline I/R group: Surgery was performed as the same in the TPT I/R group, (4): Sham group with saline: Surgery was performed as the same in the TPT sham group, and the mice were pretreated with either saline or TPT (0. 1 mg · kg-1 day-1 ) by intraperitoneal injection for one week. The samples were collected at the 24th h after the I/R injury.The serum ALT and AST levels were determined, the histologic changes were observed by HE staining, the percentage of Th17 cells among mononuclear cells in liver tissue was analyzed by flow cytometry, the expression of IL-17 and ROR-γt mRNA was detected by real-time PCR, and the serum IL-6, IL-17 and TGF-β levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results Serum ALT and AST levels were significantly decreased and the histological damage was significantly alleviated in the TPT I/R group as compared with saline I/R group (P＜0. 05). The percentage of Th17 cells among mononuclear cells in TPT I/R group, TPT sham group, saline I/R group, TPT saline group was ( 1.77 ± 0. 53)％, (0. 41± 0. 18)％, (4. 26 ± 0. 82)％ and (0. 72 ± 0. 23) ％ in liver tissue, respectively. The expression levels of the IL-17 and ROR-γt mRNA in the liver tissue, and IL-6, IL-17 and TGF-β levels in the serum were significantly lower in TPT I/R group than in saline I/R group (P＜0. 05). Conclusion Pretreatment with low dose of TPT could effectively protect the liver from I/R injury in mice, which may be related to the inhibition of Th17 cells.

Objective: To develop novel strategies to identify relevant molecular signatures for complex human diseases based on data of identical-by-decent profiles and genomic context.Methods: In the proposed strategies, we define four relevancy criteria for mapping SNP-phenotype relationships-point-wise IBD mean difference, averaged IBD difference for window, Z curve and averaged slope for window.Results: Application of these criteria and permutation test to 100 simulated replicates for two hypothetical American populations to extract the relevant SNPs for alcoholism based on sib-pair IBD profiles of pedigrees demonstrates that the proposed strategies have successfully identified most of the simulated true loci.Conclusion: The data mining practice implies that IBD statistic and genomic context could be used as the informatics for locating the underlying genes for complex human diseases. Compared with the classical Haseman-Elston sib-pair regression method, the proposed strategies are more efficient for large-scale genomic mining.

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, apoptotic cell death caused by massive lipid peroxidation-mediated cell membrane damage. Recent evidence suggests that exosomes, as a 30-100 nm diameter follicular body, contain a variety of active ingredients such as proteins, various RNAs and lipids that can have a great impact on the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases by regulating cellular iron death. To this end, this paper elaborates the research significance of exosomes in the regulation of cell ferroptosis, analyzes their role in disease treatment, and reviews the relevant reports and studies on exosomes regulating cell ferroptosis in recent years.
