It reiterates the developments of experimental research on causa morbi,mechanism,treatment and differentiation signs and pharmacodynamic of SEL,concluding that the TCM research on SEL has got delightful achievement,but it still needs further study on differentiation types,cure effect standard and pharmacology.

Objective To reveal the status of development and limitations of the nursing master's degree theses in recent 5 years in China. Methods 827 pieces of nursing master's degree theses were selected as research objects collected by CNKI from 2006 to 2010.The information from the theses was collected, i.e. the reason of the research, signature of informed consent form, fund subsidization, quality control,the themes, objects and locations of the research, the type of study designed, method of data collection,statistics methodology etc, and it was described and analyzed by the method of content analysis according to the statistical results. Results The theses developed rapidly in recent 5 years, the scope of the nursing research was expanding, the content of the research was richer, the type of study designed and method of data collection were increasingly complex and diverse, while there were still some shortcomings existing in the reason of the research, ethics issues, quality control and the establishment of sample size. Conclusions The scientific research of the nursing postgraduates develops steadily and rapidly, but their research consciousness needs to be strengthened.

AIM: To investigate the immunomodulatory effect of pachyman polysaccharides (PPS) on T helper 17 cell (Th17)/regulatory T cell (Treg) balance in the peripheral blood of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.METHODS: The CD4+ T cells were isolated from the peripheral blood samples obtained from 45 SLE patients and 35 healthy controls enrolled in our study using magnetic bead separation method.The proportions of Th17 and Treg cells were measured by flow cytometry.The CD4+ T cells from SLE patients and healthy controls were treated with PPS.The cytoto-xicity of PPS was evaluated by detecting cell viability with MTT assay.The contents of interleukin-17 (IL-17), IL-6, IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) were measured by ELISA.The expression of retinoid-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt) and forkhead box protein P3 (Foxp3) at mRNA and protein levels was determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot, respectively.RESULTS: The Th17 cells were significantly elevated, while Treg cells were obviously decreased in the SLE patients compared with the healthy control group (P<0.05).Compare with control group, the contents of IL-17 and IL-6 were decreased, while the contents of IL-10 and TGF-β were increased (P<0.05).The expression of RORγt at mRNA and protein levels was down-regulated and the expression of Foxp3 was up-regulated (P<0.05).The ratio of Th17/Treg was decreased in 100 μg/L nontoxic PPS-treated CD4+ T cells isolated from the SLE patients (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: PPS treatment inhibits Th17 cells and elevates Treg cells in the CD4+ T cells isolated from SLE patients, which may have a therapeutic effect on SLE patients.

AIM: To explore the mechanism of the nitric oxide (NO) synthesis induced by human C5b-9 complex in glomerular mesangial cells(MC) of rats. METHODS: The MC of rats were cultured and stimulated with human complement C5b-9 complex to induce TNF? and IL-1?. At the same time, several parameters related to NO synthesis were measured at 3 h, 6 h and 24 h after C5b-9 stimulation. The effects of monoclonal antibodies against TNF? and IL-1? on NO synthesis were examined in this system. RESULTS: TNF? concentration in supernatant from MC in C5b-9 group was higher than that of control group at 6, 24 h after stimulation with C5b-9 complex and reversed by adding anti-TNF? McAb. C5b-9 complex didn't stimulate the release of IL-1? in same system. In addition, the expression of iNOS mRNA in MC was observed at 3 h after stimulation with C5b-9. Levels of iNOS mRNA expression and cGMP in MC and NO - 3/NO - 2 in supernatant from MC in C5b-9 group were higher than those in control group at 6, 24 h after C5b-9 stimulation, these changes were also reversed by adding monoclonal antibody against TNF?. CONCLUSION: C5b-9 complex could induce iNOS mRNA expression at 3 h after C5b-9 stimulation, and the synthesis of NO at 6, 24 h was related to TNF? released from cultured MC of rats by C5b-9 complex to a certain extent.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mometasone furoate dry powder inhalation(MF DPI) in treating mild and moderate asthma .Methods The databases of PubMed ,EMBASE ,CINAHL were retrieved .The randomized ,controlled trials(RCT) on mometasone furoate dry powder inhalation in treating mild and moderate asthma were collected .The quality evalua‐tion and the data extraction were performed according to the Cochrane systematic evaluation method .The RevMan 5 .0 .2 software was adopted for conducting statistical analysis .Results A total of 9 RCT involving 1 795 patients with mild and moderate asthma were included .The meta‐analysis results showed that MF DPI 200 mcg/d improved FEV1(MD=0 .24 ,95% CI:0 .17 -0 .30) ,am‐PEF(MD= 25 .25 ,95% CI:8 .18 -42 .32) ,pmPEF(MD= 16 .00 ,95% CI:2 .10 -29 .90);MF DPI 400 mcg/d improved FEV1 (MD=0 .32 ,95% CI:0 .25-0 .39) ,amPEF(MD=36 .44 ,95% CI:23 .82-49 .05) ,pmPEF (MD=28 .50 ,95% CI:14 .11-42 .89) , which suggested that MF DPI 200 mcg/d and MF DPI 400 mcg/d improving FEV1 ,amPEF and pmPEF was higher than the place‐bo ;for reducing patient′s early morning dyspnea and albuterol dose ,MF DPI 200 mcg/d and MF DPI 400 mcg/d were superior to placebo .For reducing patient′s early morning wheezing ,MF DPI 200 mcg/d and MF DPI 400 mcg/d were not superior to placebo .

Objective: Our study described the body composition of 50 preschool children aged from 4 to 6 years old and evaluated their nutritional and developing status. Methods: Body composition was measured with dual energy X ray absorptiometry(DXA). Results: BMC, BMD, FTM, %BF, LTM of all children were (463.3?80.9)g、(0.69?0.04)g/cm 2、(3917.1?1281.6)g、(21.8?4.9)、(13391.4? 1823.8 )g respectively. The relationships between BMC and age and between LTM and age were positively correlated. BMD and LTM of the boys were significantly higher than those of the girls. On the contrary, FTM, %BF, F t/l and F t/a of the girls were obviously greater than those of the boys. Conclusion: DXA method may be used to evaluate the nutritional and developing status in preschool childran.

Objective To study microvascular density(MVD),DNA ploidy and immunophenotype in prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia(PIN) as well as their relationship with its biological properties.Methods We studied paraffin-embedded specimens from 24 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH),23 cases of low-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia(LGPIN),and 26 cases of prostatic carcinoma(PC) with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia(HGPIN).Image analysis was used to measure the DNA average ploidy and MVD,and after that the expressions of 34?El2,P63,P504s and CD34 were detected by immunohistochemistry SP.Results DNA ploidy and MVD in PIN were higher than those in BPH,but lower than in PC,and correlation was detected among different grades of PIN.MVD had a positive correlation with DNA aneuploidy in different grades of PIN(P
