Objective To investigate the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy ( CRRT) on the reg-ulation of Treg/Th17 in patients with severe sepsis,and related inflammatory factors IL-6,IL-17,IL-10,and TNF-α.Methods 60 patients with severe sepsis were randomly divided into two groups,30 cases in each group.The control group received conventional treatment,and the observation group was treated with CRRT on the basis of the control group.Flow cytometry was used to detect the levels of Tregs and Th17 cells,and IL-6,IL-10,IL-17 and TNF-αwere detected by ELISA method.At the same time,the APACHEII score,ICU length of hospital stay were observed and recorded.Results After treatment,APACHE Ⅱscore,ICU length of hospital of the observation group were lower than the control group,there were statistically significant differences(t=4.258,t=4.518,all P<0.05). The expression levels of Th17,Treg and Tregs/Th17 in the observation group were significantly lower than the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=5.872,4.267,4.285,all P<0.05).The expression levels of IL-6,IL-17,TNF-αin the observation group decreased more significantly than the control group,the differences were statistically significant (t=5.829,5.257,5.983,all P<0.05).But the expression level of IL-10 in the two groups had no obvious change[(35.26 ±18.63) pg/mL vs (35.52 ±20.09) pg/mL,t=2.164,P>0.05].Conclusion CRRT can not only remove the inflammatory mediators of abnormal expression,improve the function of T cells,but also can maintain the balance between Th17 and Treg,improve the immune disorders,and improve the prognosis of sepsis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between infection of helicobaeter pylori(Hp) and iron deficiency anemia(IDA) and to explore effective clinical treatments for patients with Hp associated IDA . Method 1. The Hp infection ratio of 40 chronic gastritis with IDA and 42 patients without IDA were counted up respectively. 2. 36 patients with Hp-positive chronic gastritis were divided into two groups randomly. One group was treated by using Hp eradication therapy in conjunction with oral iron supplement and the other using iron supplement only. The hema-tological parameters before and after treatment are measured and the effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated. Re-sult The Hp infection ratio in chronic gastritis patients with IDA is |figher than that in patients without IDA and the difference is significant. After Hp eradication therapy in conjunction with iron supplement Hb. serum iron and serum ferritin level in Hp associated IDA patients are increased significantly while that for patients treated by using iron sup-plement only have no significant improvement. Conclusion It appears that Hp infection may be related to IDA. When iron supplement treatment has no obvious effect to an IDA patient,lt may suggest a ease of Hp associated IDA. The i-ton supplement treatment has positive effects to IDA patients after Hp eradication.

AIM: To investigate the effects of external counterpulsation (ECP) on nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and the expression of NOS gene in myocardial infarction canines. METHODS: Nineteen healthy dogs were randomly divided into three groups ie. controls, ischemia group, ischemia and ECP group. Serum NO concentrations and myocardium NO levels and NOS specific activity were determined by modified nitrate reductase method. The protein synthesis of sub-type NOS including inducible NOS (iNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) of myocardial tissue were also determined by immunohistochemical method. The constitutive NOS (cNOS) mRNA was measured via in situ hybridization. RESULTS: 120 and 180 minutes after the ligating of LAD, serum NO concentration in ECP groups were higher than those in ischemic groups (P

[Objective]To investigate the molecular mechanism of abnormal platelet activation induced by platelet O2 ·- and H2O2 levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus.[Methods]The platelet parameters in patients with type 2 diabetic patients and normal controls were measured;Immunofluorescence technique was used to observe the platelet morphology changing;Flow cytometry was used to detect platelet intracellular O2 ·- and H2O2 content in two groups,then with platelets in normal controls treated with NADH/PMS system and H2O2 respectively,platelet activation positive percentage was observed. Standard Western blot analysis protocols were used to detect expression difference of Catalase and type 2 super-oxide dismutase(Mn-SOD)in platelets.[Results]The MPV in the group of type 2 diabetic patients was significantly higher than in the normal control group(P < 0.001),but there was no statisticdifference in PLT,PDW,PCT between two groups. Immunofluorescence results showed that morphology of platelets in type 2 diabetic patients changed contrast to normal group. Through flowcytometry detection,the content of mitochondrial O2·-and H2O2 of platelet in type 2 diabetic patients were obviously higher than in normal group(P<0.05),whereas no significant difference in cytoplasmic O2·-. We adopted NADH/PMS system and H2O2 to treat platelets of normal group,heightened activated positive percentage were observed which described O2 ·- and H2O2 can significantly promote platelet activation(P<0.01). Western blot results showed that expression of Catalase in platelet of type 2diabetes patients decreased,while the expression and activity of Mn-SOD had no difference.[Conclusion]It is diabetic platelet Catalase expression decreased that may lead to Diabetic platelet mitochondrial O 2 ·- and H2O2 level increased ,thus regulating aberrant activation of diabetic platelet.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate efficacy of continuous blood purification (CBP) in childhood severe sepsis through the analysis of organ function, inflammatory mediators and prognosis.
METHODForty-seven children with severe sepsis aged 29 days -16 years who were treated in PICU of Shanghai and Zhejiang five hospitals during October 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012 were enrolled; 30 cases treated with CBP were recorded as logged group , 17 cases without CBP as unlogged group. Changes in the cardiovascular, respiratory function, renal function, inflammatory markers, PRISM score III, PCIS and survival were observed and compared between the two groups at baseline (d0), first days (d1), second days (d2), third days (d3), fifth days (d5).
RESULT(1) Cardiovascular function: In d3 and d5, heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were improved as compared to unlogged group (121, 119 vs. 138, 137; 71, 80 mmHg vs. 63, 62 mmHg, P < 0.05), with no statistical significance in arterial blood lactate concentration. (2) Oxygenation index (PaO₂/FiO₂) and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO₂) increased as compared to unlogged group, but did not reach statistical significance. (3) Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were improved as compared with unlogged group from d1 (P < 0.05). (4) Inflammatory mediators did not show significant differences. (5) Twenty-eight days survival rate: logged group was 70.0%, unlogged group was 52.9%, but the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.242).
CONCLUSIONCBP can improve circulatory function, oxygenation, and renal function in children with severe sepsis. No evidence was found that CBP could decrease the level of inflammatory mediators, improve critical score and 28 days survival rate.
