Objective To explore the effect of bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on wound healing by observation of change in expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and specific tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in fibroblasts after the challenge of lipopolysaccharide. Methods Human dermal fibroblasts were cultured in RPMI medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). At cellular confluence the medium was changed, and the cells were cultured under serum free conditions with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the presence of LPS (0, 10?g/ml, 100?g/ml and 1000?g/ml). All cultures were maintained at 37℃ in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO_2 in air. After 48-hour treatment, the medium was collected for measurement of MMPs by fluorescence labeled gelatin zymography and for measurement of TIMPs by fluorescence labeled reverse gelatin zymography. The expressions of MMPs and TIMPs were quantitatively analyzed with the band's area and density from the gel image using the Phoretix software. Results LPS up-regulated the expression of both MMPs and TIMPs in fibroblasts, and expression of TIMPs was higher than that of MMPs. Compared with base level, MMPs respectively increased 1.3, 1.7 and 1.6 times, TIMP-1 respectively increased 3, 4.5 and 3.6 times, TIMP-2 respectively increased 3, 6 and 5.6 times. Conclusion It seems that LPS showed no damaging effect on fibroblasts in regulation of matrix accumulation in wound healing.

Objective To explore the potential mechanisms of therapeutic effect of propolis in the treatment of diabetic wound. Methods Human fibroblasts(Fb) and monocytic THP-1 cells were routinely cultured at 37℃ in an environment of 95% air and 5% CO2 in RPMI medium containing 11mmol/l glucose, 15mmol/l HEPES and 5% fetal calf serum. To a portion of culturing THP-1 monocytes phorbol myristate actetate (PMA; 2?10 -7mol/L) was added. After 24 hours when approximately 75% of the monocytes became macrophage which attached to the plate. Propolis was added to a culture system of human fibroblasts(Fb), THP-1 monocyte and THP-1 monocyte-derived macrophage(Mac) with different concentration of propolis(10, 50, 100, 200?g/ml) and different glucose(5mmol/L; 25mmol/L), For each experiment the cells were cultured for 48 hours in the presence of Propolis. Then the media were collected and the protein expression of matrix metalloproternase-9 (MMP-9) were determined by gelatin zymography using a MDPF- labeled gelatin as substrate. The media were loaded onto an 8% SDS PAGE gel containing MDPF labeled gelatin (1%) after electrophoresis, the gels were placed on a long wave ultra violet light box and photographed. The area degraded by the MMPs was observed as dark bands on a light background. The MMPs were quantified by measurement of the band area using the Phoretix_1D_Advanced Digital Science Electrophoresis Documentation and Analysis System. Results the high glucose has a tendency to increase the expression of MMP-9, The propolis can decreased the expression of MMP-9, and has a dependent on doses tendency. F test P

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Xuesaitong for injection on microembolic signal (MES) and blood lipid of patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) atherosclerotic stenosis complicated with MES positive transient ischemic attack (TIA). METHODS: A total of 98 patients with MCA atherosclerotic stenosis complicated with MES positive TIA in the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of TCM during May 2015-May 2016 were divided into routine group and Xuesaitong group according to random numble table, with 49 cases in each group. Routine group received routine treatment. Xuesaitong group was additionally given Xuesaitong for injection (lyophilized) 400 mg intravenously, once a day, for consecutive 15 d, on the basis of routine treatment. The distribution of MES classification and the number of MES were observed in 2 groups before treatment, 15 d after treatment and 3rd and 6th month after treatment. The levels of TG, TC, LDL were observed before treatment and 15 d after treatment. The occurrence of ischemia event and ADR were recorded. RESULTS: Fifteen days after treatment, the distribution of MES classification in 2 groups was significantly better than before treatment; Xuesaitong group was significantly better than routine group, with statistical significance (P＜0. 05). At 3rd and 6th month after treatment, the distribution of MES classification in Xuesaitong group was significantly better than routine group; 6th month after treatment was significantly better than 3rd month after treatment, with statistical significance (P＜0. 05). Fifteen days and the 3rd, 6th month after treatment, the number of MES in 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment and decreased as time; Xuesaitong group was significantly lower than routine group, with statistical significance (P＜0. 05). Fifteen days after treatment, TG and TC levels of 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment; Xuesaitong group was significantly lower than routine group, with statistical significance (P＜0. 05); there was no statistical significance in the level of LDL before and after treatment (P＞0. 05). The incidence of ischemic events in routine group at 6th month after treatment was significantly higher than 3rd month after treatment, and the incidence of ischemic events in Xuesaitong group at 3rd and 6th month after treatment was significantly lower than routine group, with statistical significance (P＜0. 05). At 6th month after treatment, the incidence of ADR in 2 groups was significantly lower than 3rd month, with statistical significance (P＜0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: Based on routine treatment, Xuesaitong for injection can reduce the number of MES, reduce the incidence of ischemia events and further improve the level of blood lipid in patients with MCA atherosclerotic stenosis complicated with MES positive TIA without increasing the occurrence of ADR.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment process, and prognosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods:A retrospective study was used to collect and analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of eight HIV-positive patients with SLE treated in Yunnan Provincial Infectious Diseases Hospital from August 2017 to January 2020.Results:All of the eight patients were diagnosed with SLE after HIV infection. All of the patients were female. CD4 + T lymphocyte counts were >500/μL in four cases, 350 to 499/μL in two cases, and 200 to 349/μL in the remaining two cases. Case 6 presented with butterfly erythema on the face. In Case 1, hemoglobin was 40 g/L and urine occult blood was (+ + ). The hemoglobin of Case 2 was 76 g/L, the platelet count was 2×10 9/L, and the granulocyte count was 0.6×10 9/L. The lung computed tomography (CT) examination of Case 3 showed diffuse exudative lesions in both lungs. The 24 h urinary protein levels of Case 4 and 5 were 2 231.6 mg and 2 761.0 mg, respectively, and urine occult blood were (+ + ). The total bilirubin of Case 4 was 70.0 μmol/L and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 49 U/L. The total bilirubin of Case 7 was 129.6 μmol/L and ALT was 56 U/L. The lung CT examination of Case 8 showed moderate to massive pericardial effusion in the pericardium. Seven patients received antiviral therapy and immunotherapy, and their conditions were stable without relapse. Case 1 was refractory SLE complicated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. After treated with rituximab combined with cyclophosphamide the patient achieved clinical remission. Case 7 was injection drug user and died after giving up treatment. Conclusions:The clinical characteristics of HIV-positive patients with SLE are heterogeneous, and the prognosis is generally good after antiviral therapy and immunotherapy. For patients with refractory SLE complicated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, clinical remission can also be achieved through active treatment.

China's healthcare payment reform seeks to combine a medical insurance point-system with a global budget.The focus and difficulty in implementing the payment reform is how to make effectively link.On the basis of theoretical analysis,it selects the regions that have implemented the payment by disease under regional total budget and the payment by disease under institutional total budget,and summarizes the synergistic mechanism of total budget and payment by disease,including the strict control of total budget at the regional level,the reasonable setup of the budget or the standard of expected service volume at the institutional level,and the rate fluctuation and discount mechanism for the settlement of excess service;and further sort out the additional incentive mechanism to support innovation and quality enhancement under the background of the total budget and the payment by disease.Lessons can be drawn from the experiences of typical regions to strengthen the synergy between regional budgets,institutional budgets and payment by type of disease,and cautiously deal with the risks of excessive competition and"punching points"that may arise from the regional point method.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of AIDS complicated with plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL).Methods:Clinical data and laboratory test of 7 AIDS patients complicated with PBL admitted to Yunnan Infectious Disease Hospital from January 2016 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 6 male patients and 1 female patient with a median age of 48 years (41-56 years). All patients had oral and maxillofacial involvement, and only 1 case was stage Ⅱ at the initial Ann Arbor stage, while 6 cases were stage Ⅲ or higher. Six patients had systemic symptoms. All patients had a Ki-67 proliferation index greater than 80% and all presented MYC gene rearrangements, and 6 patients were positive for EBER. All patients received DA-EPOCH-based first-line chemotherapy and antiretroviral therapy (ART), Five patients initiated ART at the same time as chemotherapy, and 2 patients initiated ART before chemotherapy. Four patients achieved complete remission after chemotherapy according to PET-CT evaluation, and 3 patients died.Conclusions:Active chemotherapy combined with ART can maximize the therapeutic benefits of AIDS patients with PBL. The introduction of ART in the first chemotherapy cycle can avoid the rapid disease deterioration in the patients.
