Objective To design and prepare an RNA interfering vector for effectively inhibiting the cellular expression of zinc finger protein A20 and observe the effect of A20 gene silence on cellular inflammatory response. Methods Specific RNA interfering oligonucleotide fragments (ASRF) were designed and synthesized artificially and the A20 RNA interfering vector pSUPER-EGFP-A20 siRNA constructed. Human monocyte cell line THP1 was used to infect the pSUPER-EGFP-A20 siRNA by means of genetic transfection technique; then, silence rate of cellular A20 was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the meantime, the activity of nuclear transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the level of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in culture supernatant were measured by ELISA. Results Of two specific inhibitory oligonueleotide fragments of A20, the fragment M59465-385R/F had a higher inhibition to A20 expression, with rate of A20 gene silence of 83.86%. Preliminary application showed that after A20 gene silence, the activity of NF-κB was increased by 78.13% and the level of TNF-α in cell culture supernatant was increased by 49.30%. Conclusions Vector of A20gene silence with a high efficiency is obtained successfully. Preliminary application indicates that the expression of A20 can down-regulate the degree of cellular inflammatory responses.

Proton pump inhibitors are H+ /K+-ATPase inhibitors, which can efficiently inhibit gastric acid secretion for a long time. As the latest inhibitory gastric acid drugs, proton pump inhibitors are the best choices for acid-related diseases such as gastroe-sophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer and gastrointestinal lesions caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Proton pump inhibi-tors have significant inhibition to basal gastric acid, night gastric acid and gastric acid secretion caused by gastrin and food stimulation. This article reviewed the pharmacokinetic characteristics of five proton pump inhibitors in domestic market.

Objective To summarize and investigate the lethal factor of acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis (AOSC).Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with AOSC were retrospectively analyzed.Results Six cases died,5 cases with acidosis,5 cases with thrombocytopenia and 5 cases with temperature change obviously,4 cases with heart,lung and kidney disease or diabetes,5 cases with operation and operation time ≥ 150 min,5 cases with from onset to treatment time ≥72 h.Eighteen cases of elderly patients ≥70 years old,4 cases died.The patients whose age≥70 years,temperature ≥39 ℃ or ＜ 36 ℃,combined with acidosis,platelet counts ≤6.0 × 1012/L,with heart,lung,kidney diease or diabetes,time of anesthesia and operation ≥ 150 min and from onset to treatment time ≥72 h had higher death rate (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Age,obvious temperature abnormalities,significantly platelet decrease,with heart,lung,kidney diease or diabetes,acidosis,long time of anesthesia and operation and from onset to treatment time ≥ 72 h are the lethal factor of AOSC.

Objective To investigate the proof of fetal cells passing through the placental barrier into the maternal peripheral blood to provide laboratory data for the non invasive prenatal gene diagnosis of genetic diseases. Methods A total of 22 samples of placental tissues delivered(male fetus: 12, female fetus: 11) were divided into two groups for parallel section. HE staining was used to find the distribution of fetal cells in chorionic villi. In situ hybridization (ISH) technique with SRY DNA probes was used to identify the existence of fetal cells in placental villi, particularly in intervillous space. Results Light microscope examination revealed that there were fetal cells that passed through the capillary endothelium of villi and trophoblast basement membrane in the placental tissue sections of the 22 samples. ISH with SRY DNA probe also revealed that there were positive signals in the capillary of villi, at the edge of trophoblast basement membrane and in intervillous space in the placental tissue sections of the 12 placentas, but no signals were found in 10 female placentas. Conclusion This study demonstrates that the distribution of the fetal cells in the chorionic villi and intervillous space could be identified. The detection of fetal DNA in maternal circulation is one of the candidate approaches for non invasive prenatal gene diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of oral high-dose methylprednisolone in the treatment of infantile spasms (IS).Methods The clinical data of 38 children with infantile spasms were analyzed retrospectively who treated with oral administration of high-dose methylprednisone in Department of Neurology,Wuhan Children's Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2016 to April 2017.Results (1) Twenty patients (52.6％) of all the 38 patients were seizure-free after 2 weeks of treatment,and 16 cases (42.1％) were seizure-free at the end of treatment.(2) All the 38 cases were typical or atypical hyperarrhythmia.After treatment of 2 weeks,25 cases (65.8％) of hyperarrhythmia disappeared;at the end of the treatment,30 cases (78.9％) of hyperarrhythmia disappeared.(3) Adverse effects mainly were weight gain,Cushing signs,increased appetite,irritability,drowsiness,co-infection,electrolyte disturbance.(4) Follow-up of 3 to 12 months,the recurrence rate was low and the development quotient had improved.Conclusions Oral high dose methylprednisolone in the treatment of IS is effective,safe and has a low recurrence rate.It can be recommended in clinicalal application.

BACKGROUND:Bone morphogenetic proteins are associated with the formation and development of scars. Fibroblasts are closely related to the proliferation and maturation of scars. However, the expression of bone morphogenetic proteins in fibroblasts in different stage of hypertrophic scars remains poorly understood.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2/4, bone morphogenetic protein 7, bone morphogenetic protein receptor IA in fibroblasts in different stage of hypertrophic scars.
METHODS:The immunohistochemical SP method was employed to detect the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2/4, bone morphogenetic protein 7, bone morphogenetic protein receptor IA in fibroblasts in 20 cases of proliferative stage hypertrophic scar and 20 cases of maturation stage hypertrophic scar. Al samples were obtained from the Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, the People’s Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2/4 in fibroblasts in proliferative hypertrophic scars significantly elevated compared with mature hypertrophic scars (P<0.05). In various stages of hypertrophic scars, the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 7 and bone morphogenetic protein receptor IA in fibroblasts was not obviously different (P>0.05). Results demonstrated that bone morphogenetic protein 2/4 expression down-regulated during the development from proliferative stage to maturation stages in fibroblasts in hypertrophic scars. However, there was no change in the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 7 and bone morphogenetic protein receptor IA.

Objective: To investigate the nutritious effects of IGF, HGF and Gln on intestinal mucosal precursor cells in vitro.Methods: Different combinations of IGF,HGF and Gln were used to observe their effects on the expansion and development of the cultured intestinal mucosal precursor cells.Results: The combination of IGF,HGF and Gln could markedly promote the expansion of cultured intestinal mucosal precursor cells.Although IGF or HGF alone could promote the expansion of intestinal mucosal precursor cells, they had little effects on the development.On the contrary,Gln alone can promote the development of intestinal mucosal precursor cells,but it had little effects on their expansion.Conclusion: IGF,HGF or Gln alone has little effects on the expansion and development of the intestinal mucosal precursor cells.When they are used together,they can efficiently provide the essential stimuli for the expansion of the cultured intestinal mucosal precursor cells in vitro and enable the recombination of the different cells and formation of intestinal mucosa-like structure in vitro.
