Objective The purpose of the study was to investigate the changes and clinical significance of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1,MMP-3,tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP),interleukin (IL)-1,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and transforming growth factor(TGF)-β in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).Methods Thirty-two JIA subjects and 28 controls (traumatic arthritis patients) were included into this study.The MMP-1,MMP-3,TIMP,IL-1,TNF-α and TGF-β level in the serum and synovia were assessed by ELISA.The WBC count,the level of CRP,ESR,RF were also detected.Independent t-test and Pearson's analysis were adopted for data analysis.Results ① The level of MMP-1,MMP-3,IL-1 and TNF-α in the serum was (158±67) ng/ml,(212±89) ng/ml,(39±19) pg/ml,(26±10) pg/ml respectively,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (all P＜0.05) ; the ratio of MMP-3/TIMP-1 (0.86±0.32) was higher in the study group than that of the control group (P＜0.05),while the value of TIMP-1,TGF-β was (248±88),(17±9) ng/ml respectively,which was lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05).The value of seral MMP-3,MMP-3/TIMP-1 was positively correlated with that of WBC,CRP,ESR in the JIA group (all P＜0.05).② The value of MMP-1,MMP-3,IL-1 and TNF-α in the synovia was (216±78) ng/nl,(766±291)ng/ml,(56±21) pg/ml,(36±14) pg/ml respectively,which was higher than that of the control group (all P＜0.05); the ratio of MMP-3/TlMP-1 (2.68±0.89) was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05),while the value of TIMP-1,TGF-β was (286±88) ng/ml,(12±4) ng/ml respectively,which was lower than that of the control group (all P＜0.05).③ The value of MMP-1,MMP-3,TIMP-1,IL-1 and TNF-α in the synovia was higher than that in the serum (all P＜0.05),while the value of TGF-β was lower than that in the serum (P＜0.05).Conclusion The value of MMP-1,MMP-3,IL-1 and TNF-α increases both in the serum and synovia,while the value of TIMP-1 decreases.The value of TGF-β decreases,which may have protective effect on JIA.The ratio of MMP-3/TIMP-1 in the serum is positively correlated to inflammation parameters,which may be used to judge the activity of illness in JIA.

AlM: To explore the inhibiting effect of FTY720 on corneal neovascularization ( CNV) of rat.METHODS: MTT assay and cells scratch were adopted to observe hyperplasia of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs ) and cell migration induced by sphingosine-1-phosphate(S1P) after using FTY720 of different concentration. The effect of FTY720 on CNV induced by S1P in a rat corneal micropocket model was detected. 30SD rats were randomly divided into group A, group B and group C with 10 rats per group. S1P and 0μg, 5μg, and 20μg FTY720 controlled-released particles were implanted into the corneal stroma. The growth of CNV and having pathological examination on 12d after the operation was observed. Findings was analyzed by one-way ANOVA.RESULTS: 10, 102 , 103 , and 104 nmol/L FTY720 and HUVECs co-incubate 72h could inhibit cell proliferation (P < 0. 01 ), 24h after the function of 10, 100nmol/L FTY720, it could inhibit S1P-induced cell migration and the ability of restricting cell proliferation and cell migration was enhanced with increasing concentration of FTY720. On 12d, after rat corneal micropocket controlled-release particles was implanted into groups A, B, C, the CNV area were respectively 10. 05±1. 19, 6. 59±0. 95, 2. 70± 0.68mm2(F=145. 155, P<0. 01), group A and group B was statistically different and this was the same case between group B and group C (P<0. 01).CONCLUSlON:FTY720 can inhibit S1P-induced corneal neovascularization.

Objective: To explore the relationship between the ratio of neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR) and in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) at early admission.
Methods: A total of 420 acute STEMI patients admitted and received primary PCI in our hospital from 2010-01 to 2014-12 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups:In-hospital MACE group, n=47 and Normal discharged group, n=373. Uni-and multivariate analyses were conducted to assess whether high NLR is the independent predictor for in-hospital MACE occurrence.
Results: Univariate regression analysis indicated that the occurrence rate of in-hospital MACE in high NLR patients were higher than those in low NLR patients (OR=3.19, 95%CI 1.55-2.65, P=0.012). Multivariate regression analysis showed that high NLR was the independent risk factor for in-hospital MACE occurrence in STEMI patients (OR=3.05, 95%CI 1.59-10.54, P=0.015).
Conclusion: High NLR is the independent risk factor for in-hospital MACE occurrence in STEMI patients at the early admission.

Objective: To evaluate the risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with normal or slightly impaired renal function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: A total of 254 consecutive ACS patients with normal or slightly impaired renal function received PCI in the Second Artillery General Hospital from 2013-06 to 2015-06 were retrospectively studied. All patients had eGRF≥60 ml (min?1.73 m2) and they were divided into 2 groups:CIN group, the patients with serum creatinine increased by 0.5mg/dl (44.2μmol/L) or elevated to 25%higher than the baseline, n=23;Non-CIN group, n=231. The basic condition with laboratory tests, operative indexes were recorded and eGRF value were calculated in all patients.
Results: There were 9%(23/254) patients suffered from CIN after PCI. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that emergent PCI (OR=0.370, 95%CI 0.060-2.297), increased plasma level of NT-proBNP (OR=4.209, 95%CI 1.202-14.742) and without pre-operative aspirin administration (OR=7.950, 95%CI 1.108-57.034) were the clinical risk factors for post-operative CIN occurrence.
Conclusion: Emergent PCI, higher plasma level of NT-proBNP and no pre-operative aspirin administration were the risk factors for CIN occurrence in ACS patients with normal or slightly impaired renal function after PCI.

BACKGROUND:Spinocerebel ar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a typical genetic neurodegenerative disease. To establish patient-specific disease models of genetic background contributes to studying the pathogenesis and exploring therapeutic manners.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effectiveness of neural differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cel lines induced by SCA3 and the stability of CAG copy number.
METHODS:Skin tissue of SCA3 patient was obtained clinical y, and specific skin flbroblasts were isolated and cultured. Reprogramming fibroblasts could obtain induced pluripotent stem cel s. Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cel s, normal person induced pluripotent stem cel s (NHF) and embryonic stem cel s (ES-10) were induced to differentiate. Flow cytometry was used to compare the efficiency of differentiation. Western blot assay was utilized to detect ataxin-3 protein expression in neurons. Polymerase chain reaction was applied to measure the CAG repeat number of SCA3/ATXN3 gene.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Induced pluripotent stem cel s that had identical genetic background to fibroblasts were successful y obtained, and had similar morphology and multi-directional differentiation potential to human embryonic stem cel s. Each cel line could differentiate into neural stem cel s. The CAG number did not apparently alter before and after reprogramming as wel as induction of neuronal differentiation. The effectiveness of the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cel s derived from SCA3 into neural stem cel s was lower than that of normal person-derived induced pluripotent stem cel s (NHF) and embryonic stem cel s (ES-10). These findings demonstrate that reprogramming can successful y establish human induced pluripotent stem cel s, and induced the differentiation of above cel s into neural stem cel s. In the whole process, CAG number did not obviously alter, which was consistent with body cel s of patients.

Objective To investigate the impact of CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ regulatory T(Treg) cells on tumor recurrence in liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Im-munohistochemistry and flow cytometry were used for analysis of the frequency of Treg. Meanwhile,it was compared with that of non-cancer liver transplantation patients. Results The frequency of CD4+CD25+ FOXP3+ regulatory T cells in the blood of HCC liver transplantation was (10. 15 ±1. 00) % , which was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (3. 20±1. 18) %. Cir-culating CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ Treg frequency was increased significantly and correlated with the tumor recurrence in the HCC patients. An abundant accumulation of Treg concurrent with significant-ly reduced infiltration of CD8+T cells was found in tumor regions. Conclusion Increased CD4+ D25+FoxP3+ Treg may impair the effectors function of CD8+ T cells, promote the tumor recurrence and re-present a therapeutic target for HCC liver transplantation.
