OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic efficacy of reduced glutathioue plus Xiangdan injection for anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatic lesion. METHODS:A total of 75 patients with anti-tuberculosis drug-induced hepatic lesion were randomly divided into two groups:38 cases (trial group) were assigned to receive reduced glutathioue (1.2 g) that was added into normal saline(250 mL) by iv gtt q.d plus Xiangdan injection (20 mL) that was added into 10% glucose injection (250 mL) q.d by iv gtt;37 cases(control group)received potassium magnesium injection (20 mL)which was added into 10% glucose injection(250 mL) q.d by iv gtt. After treatment for 4 weeks,the liver function parameters and the total effective rates in two groups were measured. RESULTS:Compared with control group,the liver function had a significantly better improvement in trial group (P

Objective To sieve the bioactive constituents of Plumbago zeylanica, serum pharmacochemistry research was performed. Method Based on the establishment of HPLC fingerprints of Plumbago zeylanica, the constituents absorbed into blood were determined by comparing the HPLC fingerprints of the methanol extracts, medicated serum samples and blank serum sample. Results One compound absorbed into blood was detected, the other might be metabolites of the original constituent. Conclusion The one onstituent absorbed into blood was possible bioactive component of Plumbago zeylanica.

Gene engineering has attracted worldwide attention because of its ability of precise location of disease mutations in genome. As a new gene editing technology, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated 9 (Cas9) system is simple, fast, and accurate to operate at a specific gene site. It overcomes the long-standing problem of conventional operation. At the same time, stem cells are a good foundation for establishing disease model in vitro. Therefore, it has great significance to combine stem cells with the rapidly developing gene manipulation techniques. In this review, we mainly focus on the mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 technology and its application in stem cell genomic editing, so as to pave the way for promoting rapid application and development of CRISPR/Cas9 technology.

Objective:To explore whether CD5 + CD19 + B cells has the function of secreteing interleukin-10 (IL-10) in vitro, and to further investigate its possible effects and mechanisms on CD8 + cells in the process of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods:From July 2017 to June 2018, at Wuxi Second People′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, 23 patients with chronic hepatitis B (chronic hepatitis B group), 18 patients with liver cirrhosis (liver cirrhosis group) and 19 healthy individuals in the same period as healthy controls (healthy control group) were enrolled. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) were isolated and cultured. CD5 + CD19 + B cells were isolated. The cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The ratio of high CD5 + CD19 + B cells content (>6 % of lymphocytes), the secretion of IL-10 by CD5 + CD19 + B and the ratio of high IL-10 + cells content (>4 % of lymphocytes) of three groups were compared. The effects and possible mechanisms of CD5 + CD19 + B cells on the secreting of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) by CD8 + cells were analyzed. Liver biopsy and immunohistochemistry examination were conducted in 18 patients (13 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 5 patients with liver cirrhosis) and the expression of CD5 + CD19 + B cells in human liver tissues was analyzed. Chi square test and Fisher exact probability test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The ratio of high CD5 + CD19 + B cells content of liver cirrhosis group was higher than that of healthy control group (8/18 vs. 2/19) and the difference was statistically significant (Fisher exact probability test, P=0.029). The precentage of CD5 + CD19 + B cells in healthy control group ( n=10), chronic hepatitis B group ( n=23) and liver cirrhosis group ( n=18) accounted for 81.6%, 82.3% and 70.1%of IL-10 + cells, respectively, and the number of patients with high IL-10 + cells precentage was 2, 7 and 2, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences among three groups (all P>0.05). After stimulated with lipopolysaccharide and cultured for 48 hours, the precentage of CD8 + IFN-γ + cells in lymphocytes of healthy control group ( n=10), chronic hepatitis B group ( n=10) and liver cirrhosis group ( n=10) were compared, and the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). After CD5 + CD19 + B cells were eliminated, the precentage of CD8 + IFN-γ + cells in lymphocytes increased in 5, 4 and 4 patients of healthy control group ( n=10), chronic hepatitis B group ( n=10) and liver cirrhosis group ( n=10). After adding IL-10 receptor blocker, the precentage of CD8 + IFN-γ + cells in lymphocytes in PBMC increased compared with that before the addition of IL-10 receptor blocker (7.23% vs. 6.87%). The results of immunohistochemistry examination of liver biopsy indicated that CD4 + and CD8 + cells were strong expressed in portal area of liver tissue of patients, while CD5 + and CD19 + were less expressed. Conclusions:CD5 + CD19 + B cells do not show obvious quantitative and functional differences in the process of chronic HBV infection, however the ability of CD8 + cells to secrete IFN-γ, which may be achieved by secreting IL-10 rather than by direct contact between cells.

Gliomas are the most common primary intracranial tumors in adults, among which high-grade glioma patients are characterized by short survival and poor prognosis. The diagnosis, treatment, evaluation of effective treatments, and prognosis prediction of high-grade gliomas are of great significance for improving patient survival. Conventional enhanced magnetic resonance imaging has deficiencies in delineating tumor extent, identifying tumor progression and treatment-related changes. Therefore, there is a broad consensus to incorporate amino acid PET, and 18F-FET PET inparticular, into the diagnostic and therapeutic process of high-grade gliomas. In this article, we review the new research progress of 18F-FET PET in the diagnosis and treatment of adult high-grade glioma in recent years.
