Objective To study signs of ultrasonography in multiple renal arteritis (MRA) by color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) and X-ray angiography.Methods 2-D ultrasonography and color Doppler were performed on 23 cases of MRA with 39 diseased blood vessels.The morphology and diameters of stenonsed renal arteries of the kidneys were observed respectively by 2-D ultrasonography and CDFI.CDFI was adopted to observe maximum of velocity(Vmax),minimum of velocity(Vmin),resistance index(RI),acclerate(ACC) and acclerated time(TA) of the renal arteries,and the values were compared with those by X-ray angiography and with those of the normal controls.Results MRA's renal volume and diameter were significantly different from those of controls ( P

Objective To study the relationship between HAI and HBsAg, HCV in HCC, pericarcinomatous tissues. Methods The patterns of HBsAg and HCV in 100 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and their surrounding liver tissues were studied on paraffin-embeded sections with immunohistochemistry technique, and pericarcinomatous tissues were scored in Knodell’s histological activity index(HAI). Results The score of HAI in the group of co-infection of HBV, HCV is the highest in the four groups(12.62?3.88). The score of HAI in the group which is not infected by HBV, HCV is the lowest in the four groups(6.67?2.58). HBV, HCV virus infection were positively correlated with HAI(rs=0.39,P=0.0001). HBsAg and HCV were detected both in HCC and pericarcinomatous tissues. The positive rate of HBsAg in Pericarcinomatous Tissues(79%) was higher than that of in HCC tissues(23%). HCV expressions in HCC(15%) and pericarcinomatous tissues(23%) had no differences. Conclusions As for the tissues of liver cancer with virus infection background, the HAI is obviously higher than that without virus infection background. HBV, HCV virus infection were correlated with HAI significantly, perennial virusemia will aggravate pathological changes of liver tissue.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) have immunoregulation,can reduce the occurrence rate of graft versus host disease following transplantation,and treat autoimmune disease. OBJECTIVE:To observe the immunoregulation of human umbilical cord(UC) -MSCs on bone marrow T-lymphocyte of patients with aplastic anemia. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A randomized grouping design,in vitro cytological controlled study. Cases were obtained from the Department of Hematology,First Hospital and Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanchang University. Experiments were conducted at the Institute of Hematology,Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanchang University from September 2007 to November 2008. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS:A total of 22 patients with aplastic anemia were enrolled at the Department of Hematology,First Hospital and Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanchang University. There were 6 cases of severe aplastic anemia(3 males and 3 females) ,with a median age of 38(16-68) years;16 cases of chronic aplastic anemia(9 males and 7 females) ,with a median age of 41(25-59) years. Umbilical cord was obtained from healthy full-term fetus by normal uterine-incision delivery for isolation,culture and determination of human UC-MSCs. METHODS:MSCs were extracted from human umbilical cord. T-lymphocytes were isolated from bone marrow of patients with aplastic anemia by density gradient centrifugation. MSCs were cocultured with T-lymphocytes. In the control group,T-lymphocytes were incubated at 1?105/well. In the UC-MSCs group,human UC-MSCs were incubated at various densities of 1?105/well,0.5?105/well,0.1?105/well and 0.05?105/well. In the experimental group,T-lymphocytes were cocultured with UC-MSCs at 1:1,1:0.5,1:0.1,1:0.05. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Inhibitory rate of human UC-MSCs at various concentrations on T-lymphocytes of aplastic anemia patients was measured by MTT assay. CD4+/CD8+ changes of the T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Expression of the two marrow hematopoietic factors(interleukin-2 and ?-interferon) in the supernatant was evaluated by ELISA. RESULTS:The second passage of MSCs had typical morphology of fibroblast,and highly expressed CD166,CD29,CD54,but lowly expressed CD13,CD34,CD45. MSCs could be induced into adipocytes. UC-MSCs showed inhibitory effect on lymphocyte proliferation of aplastic anemia patients when UC-MSCs and lymphocytes mixed at the ratio of 1:1,0.5:1,0.1:1,and their inhibitory rate were(56.2?12.1) %,(43.7?10.4) %,(28.6?8.9) %. The effect was the strongest at the ratio of 1:1. UC-MSCs adjusted the proportion of CD4+ and CD8+,inhibited the secretion of interleukin-2 and ?-interferon by T cells of aplastic anemia patients. CONCLUSION:Human UC-MSCs can mediate an immunoregulation effect on T lymphocytes of aplastic anemia patients in vitro and the inhibitory effects are dependent on the amount of UC-MSCs.

Objective To assess the outcomes of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection following immunosuppressant and corticosteroid treatment in patients with rheumatic disuses.Methods The medical records of patients with positive HBsAg and rheumatic diseases from 1 Jan 2004 to 31 Dec 2007 were retros pectively reviewed and analyzed for the types of rheumatic diseases,hepatitis B seroiogies,name and dosage of immunosuppressive agents used,anti-viral therapies and outcomes of CHB infection.Results Twenty one patients were included.There were 14 female and 7 male patients.The mean age of all patients was (45±16)years.All patients were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb),and had alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than 60 U/L except one patient with dermatomyositis.Twelve(57%) patients treated with immunosuppressant only.Among them,rheumatoid arthritis (75%) was the most commonly diagnosed rheumatic diseases.These patients were treated with methotrexate (no more than 10 mg per week) or leflunomide ( 10 mg/d),combined with suffasalazine or hydroxychloroquine.Three patients received antivirus drugs because of the elevation of HBV-DNA.During the follow-up period (7 to 47 months with a median of 25 months),four (33%) developed ALT elevation,but none had developed HBV reactivation.Nine (43%) patients were treated with prednisolone and /or immunosuppressants.Among them,5 (56%)patients were diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus,others were adult onset of Still's disease and dermatomyositis,and 3 patients had elevation of HBV-DNA copies.These patients were treated with predni-soione (0.8～1.2 mg·kg-1·d-1) only or combined with immunosuppressants (methotrexate or cyclophosphamide),and all patients received antivirus drugs.During the follow-up period (3 to 50 months with a median of 13 months),two developed ALT elevation,but none had developed HBV reactivation.Conclusion In patients with rheumatic disease complicated with chronic HBV infection,methotrexate (no more than 10 mg per week) and leflunomide (10 rag/d) may be safe for patients with negative HBV-DNA.Prednisolone and immunosuppressants (methotrexate or cyclophosphamide) may be used safely with prophylactic antivims drugs.

This study was to identify the clinical features of myositis complicated with primary Sj(o)gren's syndrome (pSS). A total of 202 patients with pSS were investigated. Myositis was diagnosed according to the clinical findings, muscle enzyme levels, electromyographic results, and muscle biopsy, and compared with 15 polymyositis (PM) patients. Myositis was identified in 4 of 202 pSS patients (2.0%). They developed myositis 5 to 20 years after the onset of SS. Two patients showed no myalgia and muscular weakness. Creative kinase (CK) was increased from 480 to 2702 IU/L. Anti-Jo-1 antibody was negative. All patients responded well to prednisone and had a median serum CK decrease by 48.9%. No patients had myositis recurrence. Compared with the PM group, the percentage of myalgia, peak of CK, descending rate of CK, and positive rate of anti-Jo-1 antibody were all significantly different. Myositis with Sj(o)gren's syndrome is not common, show relatively moderate symptoms, and respond well to prednisone.

The present paper is a morphological description of the chromosomes of the mouse, Mus musculus, based on the observations of the metaphase chromosomes of both bone marrow cells and spermatogonial cells. Chromosome morphology is found to be essentially the same as those described by the previous investigators. The systematic measurements of the chromosomes have also been presented.

Objective To evaluate effect of humanized nursing on psychological state of patients with chronic urticaria receiving autohemotherapy. Methods 58 cases with chronic urticaria in our hos-pital were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 29 cases in each group, the control group was treated with conventional care, the observation group received conventional care combined with humanized nursing. The anxiety, depression and satisfaction degree were compared for these two groups and the data went through χ2 test and t test. Results The score of self- rating anxiety scale (SAS) and serf-rating depression scale (SDS) of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, the satisfaction rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the con-trol group. Conclusions Application of humanized nursing in patients with chronic urticaria receiving autohemotherapy can reduce their anxiety and depression and has pivotal significance on treatment of pa-tients with chronic urticaria.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of Weber-Christian disease (WCD) and to make a review of the literature for early diagnosis and treatment.Methods The clinical features of an atypical WCD patient who had been misdiagnosed as polymyositis were analyzed.Results WCD was characterized by subcutaneous nodules and systemic symptoms.Repeating physical examination and biopsy in time were important if the nodules were not obvious.Conclusion WCD is often misdiagnosed because of the complicated clinical manifestations.Carefully physical examination and timely biopsy are help for early diagnosis.
