Objective To study the association between serum prolactin(PRL)level,prolactin receptor(PRLR)expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells and the disease activity in the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods Serum PRL level was measured by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay(TrFIA)in113patients of SLE and in28gender-and-age matched control subjects,SLEDAI index was estimated.It was also investigated by logistic multiple regression analysis that the association between clinical manifestations,immunologic parameters,anti-dsDNA antibody titers and hyperprolactinemia in113patients of SLE.The specific binding(SB)rate of peripheral blood lymphocyte PRLR was measured by radioactive binding ligand assay(RLBA)and the mRNA expression of PRLR by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)in24active SLE patients,22inactive SLE patients and15gender-and-age matched control subjects.Results The serum PRL levels of63active patients were much higher than those of50inactive patients and28control subjects.The serum PRL levels ranged9~51.2?g/L in79.3%of active patients.It was also found that PRL level was in positive linear correlation with the titer of anti-dsDNA antibody.The concentration of interleukin2receptors in hyperprolactinemia group was higher than that in normal group.It was shown that proteinuria,low levels of complement3and high titers of anti-dsDNA antibody were associated with hyperprolactinemia by logistic multiple regression analysis.The SB rate of PRL receptor was5.03?2.51%(x?s),the total binding rate(TB)was15.4?6.98%in24active patients with SLE.The SB rate of active patients was much higher than that of22inactive patients(SB4.18?2.26%,TB rate14.03?6.54%)and that of15gender-and-age matched control subjects(SB1.62?1.05%,TB8.19?1.47%).The mRNA expression of PRLR in active patients(x?s,0.85?0.45)was much higher than in inactive patients(0.58?0.43)and that in control subjects(0.20?0.13).Conclusion The slightly increased serum level of PRL,high expression of PRLR and the increased specific binding rate are associated with the disease activity of SLE.

Objective To observe the effect of stellate ganglion block on patients with cerebral infarction.Methods36 patients with cerebral infarction were randomly divided into the control group and research group.Both two groups were treated with traditional treatment.The research group was added with stellate ganglion block.ResultsAfter 20 days treatment,the Neuro-function Deficit(NFD) scores of both two groups were significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.01);but the NFD scores of the research group were significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01).The scores of Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA) and Barthel Index(BI) of both two groups were significantly higher after treatment(P<0.01);but the scores of FMA and BI of the research group were significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).ConclusionStellate ganglion block can improve the nerve function of patients with cerebral infarction.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of diacerhein in the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods The efficacy and safety of diacerhein was randomly investigated in 42 pa- tients with knee osteoarthritis using parallel group methodology and a double-dummy technique to ensure dou- ble blind status with respect to diacerhein and control drugs diclofenac.Results Significant changes were ob- served in 20 meters walk pain,knee joint tenderness scale,WOMAC index scale,5F-36 health survey,knee joint swelling scale,compared with baseline(P＞0.05)in both diacerhein and diclofenac group respectively.No difference was found between diacerhein group and diclofenae group.The patient global assessment and physi- cian's global assessment were similar in diacerhein group and diclofenac group(P＞0.05).The side effect was similar in two groups.All of these side effects in gastrointestinal tract appeared to be transient.Conclusion Diacerhein can effectively relieve pain and swelling of knee osteoarthritis,and provides us a new effective and safe approach for treating knee osteoarthritis.

ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic and differential diagnostic points in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated with fever and pulmonary diseases. MethodsFull clinical analysis was performed for a 55-year old patient with arthritis, fever, and wheeze. ResultsThe clinical pictures of the patient were consistent with those of RA. Computed tomography(CT) revealed interstitial lung diseases and intrapulmonary cavities. Antifungal agents were given experimentally, and the intrapulmonary cavities disappeared finally, thus the patient was diagnosed as RA, concurrently complicated with interstitial lung disease and pulmonary fungal infection. ConclusionThe possibility of pulmonary fungal infection should be considered in RA patients who presented with fever and intrapulmonary cavities.

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-335-5p on the proliferation and apoptosis of osteoblasts which were exposed to high glucose condition, and explore its possible molecular mechanisms. Methods MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were divided into four groups:control group(5. 5 mmol/L glucose), high glucose group(HG group, 22. 0 mmol/L glucose), agomir-335-5p group(transfected with agomir-335-5p and exposed to 22. 0 mmol/L glucose) , and agomir negative control group( agomir NC group, transfected with agomir negative control and exposed to 22. 0 mmol/L glucose), cultured for 7 days. Cell proliferaton, cell apoptosis, expressions of miR-335-5p and dickkopfhomolog1(DKK1)mRNA,proteinlevelsofDKK1andcysteinylaspartate-specificproteinase-3(caspase-3) were detected using MTT, flow cytometry, quantitative realtime PCR and western blot, respectively. Results Compared with control group, the expression of miR-335-5p mRNA and cell proliferation in HG group were significantly decreased(P<0. 05), while cell apoptosis and the protein levels of DKK1 and caspase-3 were increased significantly(P<0. 05), the expression of DKK1 mRNA did not change (P>0. 05). The miR-335-5p mRNA expression and cell proliferation in agomir-335-5p group were higher than those in HG group and agomir NC group(P<0. 05). However, Cell apoptosis and the protein levels of DKK1 and caspase-3 in agomir-335-5p group were lower than those in HG group(P<0. 05). Conclusion High glucose inhibits the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 osteoblast through decreasing the expression of miR-335-5p and subsequently increasing the DKK1 expression.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and herbal plaster for the patients with anal abscess. Methods A total of 140 patients with anal abscess were randomly divided into 2 groups, 70 in each group. The control group were treated with different operation methods according to the patient's health condition. the Potassium Permanganate solution (1:5 000) bath was used after surgery in the conventional anti anti-infection treatment; and the observation group were treated with herbal fumigation and plaster on the basis of the control group. The wound was treated in the both groups in the following 3 months after operation. The wound swelling disappearance, carrion shedding and healing time, pain relief, medical records of infection and recurrence were measured after the treatment and follow-up period. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 100% (70/70), and the control group was 91.4% (64/70). The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.322,P=0.037). After 3, 7 days, the pain relief in the observation group was better than that in the control group (Z=9.742, 16.860,P=0.008, 0.001). After treatment, the observation group swelling (4.9 ± 0.7 dvs. 6.1 ± 0.7 d,t=10.142), carrion shedding time (3.8 ± 0.5 dvs. 4.2 ± 0.4 d,t=5.227), the wound healing time (22.1 ± 4.0 dvs. 26.9 ± 4.0 d,t=7.099) were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). During follow-up, 4 cases (5.7%) with secondary infection and 2 cases (2.9%) with recurrence were in the observation group, but 20 cases (28.6%) and 6 cases (8.6%) in the control group.There were significantly difference of the secondary infection and recurrence between two groups (χ2= 6.092,8.934,P= 0.034, 0.001). 2 groups of secondary infection, the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions The combination of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and herbal plaster could improve the wound healing time, reduce the secondary infection and recurrence rates of patients with anal abscess.

Objective To study the influence of spinal instability after lamina decompression in symptoms and progno?sis. Methods The 76 patients were followed up for a minimum of 4 more years. The patients were divided into instability group (n=27) and non-instability (n=49) group according to the X-ray result of the final follow-up. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, JOA score and improvement rate were compared between two groups at preoperation, 3-month after operation and the final follow-up. Results There were no significant differences in gender, age and mean follow-up time between two groups. There were no significant differences in VAS and JOA scores before surgery, 3-month after surgery and final follow-up between two groups. Postoperative VAS score decreased and JOA score increased with the increase in follow-up time (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in improvement rate [(80.0±8.8)%vs (83.6±11.7)%] and improvement ratio [81.48%(22/27) vs 61.22%(30/49)] between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Although some patients show instability even with lumbar spondylolisthesis after lamina decompression on radiograph,which is no correlation with improvement of symptoms. With appropriate indications, lamina decompression is a simple and effective surgical method,which also retains the spinal movement function.

Collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1) can repair the injured vessel by limiting the deposition of collagen and promoting cell migration.CTHRC1 is mainly regulated by Wnt-PCP signaling pathway,transforming growth factor (TGF)-bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) signaling pathway.Recent studies have identified that CTHRC1 is aberrantly expressed in gastrointestinal cancers and associated with the occurring and development of cancers.
