1.The application and mechanisms of probiotics in allergic diseases
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(1):71-74
Probiotics stimulate dendritic cells exert regulatory functions by promoting the release of cytokines,which change the balance of Th1/Th2.This process mediates Th1 cell response instead of Th2 to enhance immune function.Probiotics have shown preventive and therapeutic potential for diseases,including several IgE-related diseases,such as atopic dermattis,asthma and allergic rhinitis.However,because of complex causes and numerous incentives,there is no consistent conclusion regarding probiotics application in allergic diseases.Further evidence-based medical researches will be required in the future.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of breviscapine on ischemia-reperfusion renal injury, which provides scientific theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Method 36 SPF male healthy SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, 12 rats in each group. Group A was ischemia-reperfusion group, group B was erigeron breviscapus injection preconditioning group, and group C was sham operation group. Rats in group A and C were injected with normal saline, while rats in group B were given 12 ml/kg erigeron breviscapus injection by intraperitoneal injection., After 14 days, renal function, renal antioxidant indexes, renal cell apoptosis indexes and expression of Bcl-2, Bax in renal tissue of three groups were compared. Results The indexes of renal function showed that blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and Serum creatinine (SCr) in group B were significantly lower than group A (P<0.05), but significantly higher than group C (P<0.05). Renal antioxidant indexes showed that superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in group B were significantly higher than group A (P<0.05), but significantly lower than group C(P<0.05). The index of renal cell apoptosis showed that the apoptosis index AI in group B was significantly lower than group A (P<0.01), but significantly higher than group C (P<0.01). The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of Bcl-2 in group B were significantly higher than that of group A and group C (P<0.05), and the expression of Bax in group B was significantly lower than that in group A (P<0.05) while significantly higher than group C (P<0.01). The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in group B was significantly higher than group A and group C (P<0.05). Conclusion Erigeron Breviscapus Injection may have a protective role on renal ischemia reperfusion injury though antioxidant and anti-apoptosis.

Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2018;25(10):757-761
Objective To observe the effect of Saccharomyces boulardii(SB) on interleukin-17, interleukin-10 and transforming growth factor-β1 of inflammatory bowel disease ( IBD ) rats which were induced by trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid( TNBS) . Methods Balb/c female rats were randomly divided into three groups,normal group,TNBS group and TNBS+SB group. TNBS method was used to set up IBD rat models. TNBS group:the mice were injected by 5% TNBS 0. 1 ml+50% ethanol 0. 1 ml per mouse from rectum for 5 days,and then were filled in stomach by normal saline 0. 1 ml on the 2nd day for 2 weeks;TNBS+SB group:the mice were injected by 5% TNBS 0. 10 ml+50% ethanol 0. 10 ml per mouse from rectum for 5 days,and then were filled in stomach by SB (SB no less than 109 CFU/ml) 0. 1 ml on the 2nd day for 2 weeks;the normal group:the mice were injected by 50% ethanol 0. 2 ml per mouse from rectum for 5 days, and then were filled in stomach by normal saline 0. 1 ml on the 2nd day for 2 weeks. At the 15th day,the general situation of mice were observed,serum and colon tissue was collected. Alterations of colon inflamma-tion were observed by means of haematoxylin-eosin ( HE);the level of IL-17,IL-10 and TGF-β1 in serum were evaluated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The level of IL-17,IL-10 and TGF-β1 in colon tissue was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results The IL-17 level of serum and colon tissue in-creased(P<0. 05),but IL-10(P<0. 05) and TGF-β1(P<0. 05)decreased in TNBS group compared with those in the normal group. The level of IL-17 in TNBS+SB group was lower than that in TNBS group( P<0. 05),but the levels of IL-10(P<0. 05) and TGF-β1(P<0. 05)were higher than those in TNBS group. Compared with the normal group,the level of IL-17 in TNBS+SB group increased ( P<0. 05 ) , but IL-10 (P<0.05) and TGF-β1(P <0.05)decreased. Conclusion The expression of cytokine IL-17 increase, IL-10 and TGF-β1 decrease in peripheral blood and colon tissue of IBD. SB may ameliorate the intestinal inflammatory response of IBD by balancing the expression of IL-17,IL-10 and TGF-β1.

International Journal of Pediatrics 2018;45(4):311-314,封3
Objective To establish the inflammatory bowel disease model of mice by Trinitro-benzenesulfonic acid(TNBS).To investigate the correlation between the IBD and SIgA level and the effect of Clostridium butyricum,Bifidobacterium infantis single or combined on sIgA expression.Methods BABL/c mice were randomly divided into:WT group,TNBS group,CB group,BB group and CB + BB group.After 2 weeks,the general situation and weight change of mice was evaluated.Then the mice were sacrificed to collect colon tissue.The inflammation of each group was observed by HE staining.The expression of sIgA were respectively located and measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.Results TNBS group showed more pathological changes in the colon than the WT group,CB group,BB group and CB + BB group;the expressions of sIgA in colon were mainly located in intestinal lumen and lamina propria of intestinal villus;the level of sIgA in colon and tissue decreased in the TNBS group compared with WT group(P < 0.01;P < 0.01);the level of sIgA in colon and tissue increased ín the CB group and BB group compared with TN-BS group(P <0.01;P <0.01;P <0.01;P < 0.01).There is no significant difference between CB group and BB group(P > 0.05).The level of sIgA in colon and tissue increased in the CB +BB group compared with CB group or BB group(P <0.01;P <0.01).Conclusion The change of sIgA content is related to the occurrence of IBD.CB and BB can both promote sIgA production in IBD mice and reduce the inflammatory reaction.The combination of the two probiotics shows stronger effect than single one.

Objective:To identify the expression level of known microRNA (miRNA) by high-throughput sequencing and analysis of the miRNA of Schistosoma japonicum schistosomula, and predict the miRNA target genes and their biological functions. Methods:Schistosoma japonicum schistosomula were prepared in vitro, and total RNA of schistosomula were extracted and analyzed to construct a library for performing high-throughput sequencing. The difference of miRNA expression was analyzed by using DEGseq R language package and perl script. Then the target genes and their biological functions of differential miRNA were predicted by miRanda software, Blast software, and KEGG database respectively. Results:There were 38 483 matching sequences in the miRNA expressed of Schistosoma japonicum schistomula in the constructed library compared with the latest miRBase database, and 60 miRNA were identified, sja-miR-125b was the miRNA with the highest expression, followed by sja-miR-61, sja-miR-71a, sja-miR-36-3p and sja-miR-10-5p, which accounted for 91% (3 263/3 585) of the total miRNA expression. MiRanda software predicted a total of 7 176 target genes, gene functions concentrated on nucleotide transferase activity, cellular nitrogen complex metabolism, molecular function, biological processes, biosynthesis, plasma membrane and protein maturation. The functional enrichment analysis showed that the highly expressed miRNA were mainly involved in pathogenic process, biological progress and multiple metabolic regulation pathways. Conclusions:The miRNA expressed significantly of Schistosoma japonicum schistomula mainly involved in the regulation of metabolic pathways during the differentiation, growth and pathogenesis of Schistosoma japonicum. To lay a foundation for the study of the regulatory mechanism of Schistosoma japonicum development and the development of new drugs.
