Objective To evaluate the protective effect of polysaccharide nucleic acid fraction of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG-PSN) against atopic dermatitis (AD) in Nc/Nga mice,and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods Sixteen Nc/Nga mice were classified into normal control group (n =4),low-concentration BCG-PSN group (n=5) and high-concentration BCG-PSN group (n =7) to be subcutaneously injected with sodium chloride physiological solution,BCG-PSN of 0.1 mg/kg and 0.5 mg/kg respectively,at 1,8,15 and 22 days of age.Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) was repeatedly and topically applied to these Nc/Nga mice to induce AD-like lesions at 49 days of age.The preventive effect of BCG-PSN against AD was evaluated by dermatitis scores,scratching frequency,histopathological manifestations and immunological parameters (including IgE,i nterleukin (IL)-4 and-12,and interferon (IFN)-γ).Results Repeated injection of BCG-PSN within 4 weeks after birth significantly decreased the severity of DNCB-induced AD-like lesions,dermatitis scores and scratching behavior in Nc/Nga mice.There was no statistical difference in scratching frequency between the high-and low-concentration BCG-PSN groups.BCG-PSN treatment reduced the plasma level of IgE in Nc/Nga mice in a dose-dependent manner.BCG-PSN at 0.5 mg/kg increased the number of cells secreting IFN-γ in skin lesions of mice.Both doses of BCG-PSN down-regulated IL-4 level,but up-regulated IL-12 level in the culture supernatant of spleen mononuclear cells from mice.Conclusion Early injection of BCG-PSN could protect Nc/Nga mice against dermatitis by promoting the proliferation of IFN-γ-secreting cells,increasing the synthesis of IL-12,and reducing the levels of IL-4 and IgE.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of Gegenqinlian colon positioning tablet(GGQLJC)on colon tissue PPAR-γ, NF-κB p65 protein expressions of model rabbits with damp-heat type ulcerative colitis(UC). METHODS:56 rabbits were random-ly divided into normal group(normal saline),model group(normal saline),sulfasalazine tablet(SASP)group(positive control, 0.300 g/kg),Gegenqinlian tablet (GGQL) group (0.225 g/kg) and GGQLJC high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups (1.036, 0.518,0.259 g/kg),8 in each group. Except for normal group,rabbits in other groups were cultured for damp-heat-type UC mod-el,intragastrically administrated in the second day of last administration,once a day,for 14 d. Disease activity index(DAI),co-lonic mucosal damage index (CMDI),histological damage (TDI) were scored;colon,spleen and thymus indexes were deter-mined;PPAR-γ,NF-κB p65 protein expressions in colon tissue were detected. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,DAI, CMDI,TDI scores and spleen index,colon index,NF-κB p65 protein level in colon tissue in model group were significantly in-creased(P<0.01);thymus index,PPAR-γprotein level in colon tissue were significantly reduced(P<0.01). Compared with mod-el group,above-mentioned indexes in each administration group were significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with GGQL group,DAI and TDI scores,spleen index,colon index,NF-κB p65 protein level in colon tissue in SASP group, GGQLJC high-dose,medium-dose groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05);PPAR-γ protein level in colon tissue in SASP group,GGQLJC high-dose,medium-dose groups were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:GGQLJC has certain improvement effects on model rabbits with damp-heat type UC,which is superior to GGQL. The mechanism may be re-lated to increasing PPAR-γprotein level and decreasing NF-κB p65 protein level in colon tissue.

Objective To assess the clinical outcome of varicose veins with incompetent great saphenous vein(GSV) treated with ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy. Methods Forty limbs with moderate to severe symptomatic varicose veins with incompetent GSV in 38 patients were injected with foam sclerosing agent (Fibro-Vein) under ultrasound guidance. There were 36 patients with unilateral varicose veins and 2 with bilateral varicose veins. No of them suffered from deep vein incompetence or perforating vein incompetence. Second injection was performed one month after the initial injection in 7 limbs. Thirty-eight of 40 limbs were followed up with clinical examination and duplex ultrasound scan 30-47 months (mean 40 months) after the treatment. Results Among 38 limbs with follow-up mild debilitation was found in two limbs(5. 3%). There were no other symptoms or complications. Duplex ultrasound demonstrated four type of results: type I, sclerosed GSV trunk with no detectable venous flow in 32 of 38 limbs (84. 2%) ;type II,patent GSV trunk in 3 limbs (7. 9%) ,two of them had mild reflux in the GSV trunk;type III,sclerosed GSV trunk and mild reflux in the GSV tributaries, 1/38(2. 6%) ; type IV,sclerosed proximal GSV trunk,patent distal GSV communicated with a superficial vein and mild reflux in the veins, 2/38 (5. 3% ). Conclusions Clinical examination and duplex ultrasound scan demonstrated excellent results of varicose veins with incompetent GSV treated with ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy 40 months after the treatment. Sclerotherapy is less invasive treatment option for varicose veins with incompetent GSV with satisfactory clinical and cosmetic outcome.
