Objective To analyze changes of DNA demethylation analysis of FOXP3 TSDR at the beginning of the secondary pulmonary tuberculosis patientsby utilizing real-time PCR technology.Methods To select 47 patients of secondary pulmona-ry tuberculosis as a research group from June 2014 to May 2015 and 40 healthy donors as a control group.The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)of research group and control group were isolated.CD4+CD25+T cells were isolated from PBMC.Genomic DNA was isolated from CD4+CD25+T cells.PCR was performed in a final reaction volume containing dem-ethylation-specific primers.Plasmid standard was generated by PCR products were enzyme digestion,TOPO TA cloning,and recycling and purification.A real-time PCR system was established by quantitatively analyzing the specificity of FOXP3 TS-DR demethylation to treg (regulatory T-cell).Treg numbers of control group at week 0 and research group treated at week 0,week 2,week 4 and week 8 by using real-time PCR assay of the FOXP3 TSDR demethylation.The experimental data was analyzed by using SPSS 1 6.0 software.Results The M.tuberculosis in sputum of research group were positive by smear mi-croscopy,however the results of control group were negative.The treg frequency of control group,2+ group and 3+ group respectively was 1.63%±0.70%,1.96%±0.10% and 0.86%±0.21%,respectively.The difference between the treg fre-quency of control group and that of 2+ group by smear microscopy had not statistical significance,however which of 3+group was opposite.The average treg frequency of research group treated at week 0,2,4 and 8 respectively was at 1.05%, 2.04%,3.44% and 2.79%,range of which respectively was 0.32%~2.03%,0.95%~3.95%,2.35%~4.95% and 1.02%~4.27%,95% confidence interval of which respectively was (0.93%,1.18%),(1.85%,2.24%),(3.27%,3.61%) and (2.60%,2.98%).The treg frequency of difference between control group and research group at week 0 had statistical significance (t=4.669,P<0.05).The treg frequency was influenced by time of therapy,using One-Way ANOVA analysis (F=347.2,P<0.001,df=3,within-subjects Contrasts:F=407.4,P<0.001,df=3).Test of the treatment time and group interaction effect was linear (F=678.2,P<0.001,df=1).Conclusion DNA demethylation analysis of FOXP3 TSDR was high sensitivity and specificity in monitoring changes of treg at the beginning of the secondary pulmonary tuberculosis pa-tients.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is characterized by dysplastic and ineffective hematopoiesis that can result from aberrant expansion and activation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) within the bone marrow microenvironment. The proliferation and activation of MDSC lead to the dysfunction and depletion of natural killer cells and CD8 + T cells, and the recruitment of inflammatory cells and factors leads to the further accumulation of genetic abnormalities in MDS patients, leading to the progression of MDS. The accumulation of inflammatory cytokines in the tumor environment induces the expression of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) in hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells and the overexpression of programmed death receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) in MDSC, and the interaction of PD-1/PD-L1 leads to the apoptosis of MDS hematopoietic progenitor cells and ineffective hematopoiesis. The experiments and clinical studies targeting MDSC have confirmed that correcting or reversing the bone marrow microenvironment of immune disorders in MDS is a therapeutic strategy to restore effective hematopoietic function.

Imaging of trace metal distribution in the cadmium ( Cd) hyperaccumulator Indian mustard by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry ( LA-ICP-MS ) was typically performed using spatial resolutions of 25 μm. Indian Mustard was submitted to 50 mol/L Cd for 14 days exposure and analysed using Nd:YAG laser (213 nm) . Intensities of 13 C, 34 S, 39 K, 44 Ca, 66 Zn, 111 Cd, 65 Cu and 31 P were measured by ICP-MS to study elemental distribution. Preferential Cd accumulation in vascular bundles was observed in stem tissue, whereas Cd was mainly localized to the mesophyll and vascular cells. The high relationship between Ca and Cd distribution indicated that the two elements had a very similar pathway. In vivo analytical method developed in this work was useful to study spatial element distribution across stem samples and had great potential for applications in other areas of plant pathology research.

Objective To explore the effect of suledexide on renal injury and podocalyxin expression of podocytes in STZ diabetic desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-hypertensive rats. Methods Wistar rats were subjected to subcutaneous injection of streptozotocin(STZ), followed by uninephrectomy and subcutaneous administration of DOCA. Diabetic and hypertensive rats were randomly allocated to treatment with sulodexide or a combination of sulodexide and telmisartan for 8 weeks. Blood pressure (BP), 24-hour urinary albumin were measured every 2 weeks. Blood and urinary samples were collected to detect biochemical indexes of plasma and urinary β-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) at the end of the study. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), RT-PCR and Western blot were performed to examine the expression and distribution of podocalyxin. Results STZ +DOCA-treated rats progressively developed hypertension, albuminuria and hyperglycemia. Hyperlipidemia and hypoinsulinemia were found in diabetic and hypertensive rats compared with controls. Albuminuia was significantly reduced in sulodexide group at week 8 and sulodexide plus telmisartan group at week 6 and week 8. Blood pressure decreased in sulodexide plus telmisartan group. No significant effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were observed in all treated groups. Histopathological index increased in STZ+DOCA-treated rats, but was significantly lower in sulodexide group as well as sulodexide plus telmisartan group. The number of podocytes on glomerular cross-section of the four groups were comparable. Segmental loss and down-regulation of podocalyxin were detected in STZ+DOCA-treated rats, which were greatly attenuated by sulodexinde, meanwhile, combination treatment preserved more podocalyxin expression in glomeruli than sulodexide monotherapy. Conclusion Sulodexide effectively reduces albuminuria, prevents loss of podocyte podocalyxin and alleviates renal damage in STZ diabetic DOCA-hypertensive rats.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)and the SOCS-1 gene methylation status of the peripheral blood DNA,to provide the basis for diagnosis and treatment of systemic lupus erythema-tosus.Methods Blood samples of SLE patients (27 cases)and healthy group (19 cases)in January 2015 to April were col-lected and the DNA were extracted.Using polymerase chain reaction combining DNA agarose gel electrophoresis to detect the SOCS-1 gene methylation status.Results In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus SOCS-1 gene complete methyl-ation accounted for 44% (12/27),incomplete methylation accounted for 56% (15/27).In healthy group SOCS-1 gene com-plete methylation accounted for 74% (14/19)and incomplete methylation accounted for 26% (5/19).The rate of complete methylation of SOCS-1 gene of SLE patients was lower than that of healthy group (χ2=3.88,P=0.049).Conclusion SLE patients may have lower SOCS-1 gene methylation status in the peripheral blood DNA,which is worth for further study.
