Aim Toinvestigatetheeffectofhigh,me-dium and low doses of Mahuang decoction on the re-lease amount of rat hippocampal neural transmitter (Glu,Gly,Asp,GABA),then compare Mahuang de-contion with ephedra alkaloids and ephedra.Methods Ratswererandomlydividedinto6groupsandgiven orally with Mahuang decoction of high dose (calculated by ephedra 4 g·kg-1 ),medium dose (calculated by ephedra 2 g·kg-1 ),low dose (calculated by ephedra 1 g · kg-1 ),ephedra (calculated by ephedra 2 g · kg-1 ),ephedra alkaloids (ephedrine 7 mg · kg-1 , pseudoephedrine 2. 4 mg · kg-1 , methylephedrine 1. 12 mg · kg-1 )and blank control group.Samples were obtained from the hippocampus of conscious rat by microdialysis sampling technique.The content of ami-no acid neurotransmitters in dialysates was detected u-sing the established HPLC-ECD with OPA pre-column derivationmethod.Results Fouraminoacidneuro-transmitters could be well separated in 28 min.High, medium and low doses of Mahuang decoction,ephedra and ephedra alkaloids significantly increased the con-tent of these four amino acid neurotransmitters,com-pared with blank control group (P<0. 05 ).Ephedra alkaloids significantly reduced the levels of inhibitoryamino acid neurotransmitters GABA and Gly in 90 min,compared with the medium dose of Mahuang de-coction.Excitatory neurotransmitters of ASP and Glu in hippocampus showed the trend of increase first and then decrease after oral administration of Mahuang de-coction and ephedra. The levels of Glu and Asp reached peaks from 90 min to 120 min after treatment with Mahuang decoction,and also increased along with dose increase of Mahuang decoction.In comparison with the medium dose of Mahuang decoction group,the level of Glu reached peak at 90 min and 150 min in ephedra alkaloids group and ephedra group respective-ly,and the content of Glu significantly increased at peaktime.Conclusions Increasedcontentofexcita-tory amino acid neurotransmitters (Asp and Glu ) shows positive correlation with the dose of Mahuang de-coction.Other components in Mahuang decoction in-hibits the up-regulation effect of ephedra and ephedra alkaloids on Glu,and promotes the up-regulation effect of ephedra alkaloids on GABA and Gly.

Objective To study the impact of narrow band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) irradiation on the expression of T helper 17 (Thl7) and CD4,CD25 and regulatory T (Treg) cells and their related cytokines transfor-ming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) to further clarify how NB-UVB treatment helps patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Methods Ninety patients with active stage and stationary stage psoriasis vulgaris (45 cases each) were treated with NB-UVB for 8 weeks.Fifty healthy persons were used as normal controls.Peripheral blood levels of Th17 and Treg were measured by flow cytometry.An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the serum levels of TGF-β1 and IL-6 before and after treatment.Clinical efficacy was evaluated in terms of the area of psoriasis and severity index (PASI) scores.Restlts Before treatment,the patients showed significantly higher levels of Thl7 cells in their peripheral blood than the controls.Their ratios of Th17 to Treg cells and their serum levels of IL-6 were also significantly higher.The percentage of Treg cells and the serum level of TGF-β1 were significantly lower in the patients.After the NB-UVB treatment,the Th17 cells,the ratio of Th17 to Treg cells and IL-6 had all decreased significantly.The percentage of Treg cells and TGF-β1 levels were significantly high-er compared with before phototherapy.The total effectiveness rate was 86.7％,and the average PASI scores had de-creased significantly.The PASI scores were positively correlated with the percentage of Th17,the Th17 to Treg ratio,and the serum level of IL-6,and negatively correlated with the percentage of Treg cells and TGF-β1.Conclusion The imbalance between Th17 and Treg cells and their cytokines may play an important role in the pathogenesis of pso-riasis.NB-UVB is able to significantly down-regulate the levels of Th17,IL-6 and the progression of Treg levels and TGF-β1 expression.It can regulate the balance between Thl7and Treg cells,which may be one of the mechanisms of NB-UVB treatment for psoriasis.The clinical data demonstrate that NB-UVB treatment is a safe and effective therapy for psoriasis vulgaris.

Objective To explore the role of Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris. Methods Venous blood was collected from 30 normal human controls and 90 patients with acne vulgaris. The patients were equally divided into three groups, i.e., mild, moderate and severe groups, according to disease severity. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the expression of TLR2 in PBMCs, and double antibody sandwich ELISA to measure the levels of serum interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Results A significant increase was observed in the expression of TLR2 in PBMCs, serum level of IL-8and TNF-α in the three groups of patients with acne vulgaris compared with the normal human controls (all P ＜0.01). The expression of TLR2 was positively correlated with the expression of IL-8 (r=0.382, 0.517,0.436,respectively, all P＜0.05) and TNF-α(r=0.641, 0.725, 0.593, respectively, all P＜0.05) in the patients with mild, moderate and severe acne vulgaris, respectively, and with the severity of acne vulgaris (r = 0.406,P＜0.01 ). Conclusion The expression level of TLR2 and related cytokines seems closely correlated with the severity of acne vulgaris.

Objectives To investigate the prenatal diagnosis method of spinal muscular atrophy with amniotic fluid sample.Methods Totally 1 064 amniotic fluid samples from mid-trimester pregnant women were enrolled during January 2015 and January 2016 in 4 hospitals.Genetic analysis was performed for detecting potential contamination of maternal tissue by a genetic technique based on short tandem repeat ( STR) markers.Deletion of SMN1 gene was detected in 1 062 uncontaminated amniotic fluid samples by real-time PCR and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification ( MLPA) respectively.Results Two contaminated amniotic fluid samples were detected within 1 064 mid-trimester pregnant women by STR genotyping.The other 1 062 uncontaminated amniotic fluid samples were tested by real-time PCR.There were 37 samples with heterozygous deletion of Exon 7 of SMN1 gene ( 3.67%) , 34 samples with heterozygous deletion of Exon 8 of SMN1 gene (3.2%) and two samples with homozygous deletion of Exon 7 and Exon8 of SMN1 gene ( 0.19%) respectively , while other samples observed with no deletion of Exon 7 and Exon8 in SMN1 gene.Totally 41 samples with heterozygous or homozygous deletion of SMN 1 gene and 55 samples with undetected deletion of SMN 1 gene were confirmed by MLPA and the results showed 100%consistence with that of real-time PCR.Conclusions Both real-time PCR and MLPA are suitable for detecting the deletion of SMN 1 gene with amniotic fluid sample . Real-time PCR exhibits less sample requirement and time compared with MLPA .

Objective To explore the clinical effect of the open and laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy to retain the clinical efficacy of reproductive function analysis. Methods Four hundred and fifty-six patients with ectopic pregnancy were selected as our subjects. Two hundred and eleven cases were served as laparotomy group( open),and 245 cases were laparoscopic group( laparoscopic). The data of intraoperative blood loss,operative time,postoperative anal exhaust time,average hospital stay,tubal patency rate,intrauterine pregnancy rate and again repeat ectopic pregnancy rate were recorded. Results Patients in two groups were successfully completed surgery. The operative time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative anal exhaust time,average hospitalization time were(55. 1 ± 13. 5)min,(63. 5 ± 18. 3)ml,(25. 7 ± 5. 6)h,(6. 1 ± 2. 0)d respectively in laparotomy group,and(41. 3 ± 15. 5)min,(41. 1 ± 13. 3)ml,(13. 5 ± 5. 1)h,(3. 6 ± 1. 4)d respectively in laparoscopic group,and the differences were significant( t =2. 045,2. 263,3. 131, 3. 152,P﹤0. 05). The tubal patency rate,intrauterine pregnancy,ectopic pregnancy rate in laparotomy group were 81. 0%( 171/211 ),59. 7%( 126/211 ) and 26. 5%( 56/211 ) respectively,and 75. 5%( 185/245 ), 53. 5%( 131/245 ) and 22. 9%( 56/245 ) respectively in laparoscopic group,and the differences were not significant(χ2 =2. 254,2. 130,1. 242;P ﹥0. 05 ). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy is superior to laparotomy in terms of small trauma,less bleeding,faster recovery,shorter hospitalization time,and postoperative tubal patency rate.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of "healthy eating plate" based dietary management on diabetic inpatients. Methods: The patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) admitted to Daishan First People's Hospital from November 2019 to November 2020 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group was given "healthy eating plate" based dietary management, while the control group was given routine dietary management. Demographic data and physical examination results were collected. Fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) were detected at admission, discharge and 3 months after discharge, and compared between the two groups by covariance and generalized estimating equation. Results: here were 52 patients aged (55.83±9.67) years in the intervention group, with 29 (55.77%) males and 23 (44.23%) females. There were 53 patients aged (57.54±11.09) years in the control group, with 32 (60.38%) males and 21 (39.62%) females. There were no significant differences in FPG, HbA1c, TG and TC levels between two groups at discharge (P>0.05). The level of HbA1c in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group at 3 months after discharge (P<0.05); there were no significant differences in FPG, TG and TC levels (P>0.05). Conclusion The "healthy eating plate" based dietary management can better control the blood glucose of diabetic patients, and can help maintain the dietary treatment. It is worthy of promotion in diabetic patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and Smad signaling in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to explore their roles in the pathogenesis. Methods Fiftythree patients with AS were included in the study. In these 53 cases, 30 patients were performed computed tomography-guided needle biopsy in sacroiliac joint. Serum TGF-β_1 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunohistological studies were performed with the streptavidin-peroxidase conjugated methods to assess the expression of TGF-β_1, p-smad3 and Smad7 in sacroiliac joint tissue sample.One-way ANOVA, two independent samples t test and kolmogoorov-Simimov test were used to do statistical analysis. Results In 53 cases patients with AS, 20 cases were with high level Erythro-cyte sedimentation rate(ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), while those of the other 33 cases were normal. Serum average TGF-β_1level [ (15.9±5.6) ng/ml ], in patients with high level ESR/CRP [(5.4±5.8) ng/ml ] was significantly increased as compared to the controls and patients with normal ESR/CRP [(4.1±3.6) ng/ml] (P<0.05). There was no expression of TGF-β_1 could be detected in the pannus and bone marrow in SI joints tissue of 30 cases with AS, while decreased level of smad7 expression was detected. In addition, p-smad3 expression was found in the nuclear. Conclusion TGF-β_1 signaling may play an important role in the inflammatory erosion and cartilage fibrosis of sacrojlitis in AS.
