Chinese Journal of Immunology 2015;(3):375-379,383
Objective:To study on the levels of CXCL8 and its receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2) in peripheral blood neutrophils of the patients with chronic hepatitis B.Methods:The neutrophils were isolated and purified by neutrophil isolation medium,and the loads of HBV-DNA in neutrophils were detected by PCR,and the levels of HBeAg in serum were measured by ELISA.The patients were divided into different groups according to the detective results so that the expressions of CXCL8 and its receptors ( CXCR1,CXCR2) in neutrophils were detected by the methods of streptavidin-biotin complex ( SABC ) immunocytochemistry stain.Results:The data of SABC immunocytochemical stain showed that the positive color of CXCL8 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of PMNs.However,the most positive color of CXCR1and CXCR2 was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and cell membrane.Interestingly,the deeper immune coloring of CXCL8 and CXCR1, and relatively shallow immune coloring of CXCR2 were explored in the group with positive of HBeAg.The similar detective results also had been found in the cases with positive of HBV DNA in neutrophils.Compared with the normal control group,the levels of CXCL8 and CXCR1 in the patients were significantly increased ( P<0.05) ,but the differences were too small to be statistically significant in the level of CXCR2 (P>0.05).Conclusion:After neutrophils occult infected by HBV,not only the secretion of CXCL8 can be promoted, but also the expression of CXCR1 will be further increased.The data of immunohistochemical staining have been shown that the color degree of CXCL8 and its receptors ( CXCR1, CXCR2 ) are positive correlation to the level of HBeAg and the loads of HBV DNA.More PMNs can be chemotactic attraction to lesion so as to participate in the local inflammatory injury and tissue repair via the interactive pathway of the high expression of CXCR1 on surface of neutrophils with CXCL8.
5. Clinical curative effect of autologous ligament reconstruction in treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injury
Journal of Jilin University(Medicine Edition) 2019;45(4):926-930
Objective: To investigate the surgical technique of autologous tendon transplantation for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and to analyze its curative effect. Methods: The materials of 30 patients with ACL injury who underwent autologous tendon transplantation and reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed; the average follow-up period of the patients was 24. 1 months. The surgery characteristics and clinical curative effect were explored. Results: The stability of knee joint was examined by drawer test. Lachman test, and internal and external stress tests. The healing of reconstructed ligament tunnel was observed by X-ray. The morphology of ACL and ligament reconstruction before and after operation were observed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The surgical effect was evaluated according to the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scoring system There were no severe complications such as traumatic arthritis, infection, or thrombosis in the patients. The results of anterior drawer test. Lachman test, and internal and external stress tests were changed from positive to negative, suggesting that the knee joint was stable after operation. The postoperative IKDC score of the patients was significantly higher than before operation ( P<0. 05). The X-ray results showed that the blurred or disappeared bone tunnel basically achieved tendon-bone healing, while the MRI showed that the reconstructed ligament signal was uniform and non-tortuous, indicating that the ligament was strengthened. Conclusion: Accurate reconstruction with autologous ligament transplantation in the treatment of ACL injury is safe and feasible with fewer complications∗ which is helpful to restore the stability of knee joint quickly.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in aged men and associated risk factors in Beijing. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in communities of Beijing involved 1656 men aged over 50 years.The International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5),Brief Male Sexual Function Inventory for Urology ( O'Leary 1995 ) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)questionnaires was recorded.The body mass index (BMI),prostate size was measured.The survey was conducted to make sure if the patients had diabetes,high blood pressure,hyperlipidemia,cerebrovascular history,and smoking and drinking situation.Pearson's X2 test and unconditional logistic regression were used to investigate the factors associated with sexual dysfunction. Results 1644 subjects were enrolled.The incidence of ED,reduction of sexual desire and defective ejaculation was 90.45%,60.04% and 38.81% respectively,and significantly different according to age ( P < O.05 ). Age was positively correlated with ED (3 =0.12,P<0.05),reduction of sexual desire (β =0.10,P<0.05) and defective ejaculation (β =0.10,P < 0.05 ) ; ED was significantly associated with BMI (β =0.07,P < 0.05 ).Hypertension and prostate size were risk factors for reduction of sexual desire and defective ejaculation; There was correlation between drinking and defective ejaculation ( β =- O.31,P < 0.05 ). Conelusions Compared with high prevalence of ED and lower sexual desire,the incidence of defective ejaculation were lower; this may reflect the sexual activities of aged male were more active compared with the less success of really erection.The prevalence of ED,reduction of sexual desire or defective ejaculation increased with age.BMI was the risk factor for ED.Enlarged prostate and hypertension was associated with reduction of sexual desire,and drinking was the risk factor for defective ejaculation.

Objective To investigate the possible correlation between chronic periodontitis(CP)and chronic renal failure(CRF)by establishing chronic periodontitis and chronic renal failure model in SD rats. Methods Forty health male SD rats were divided into four groups: control group(A), CP group(B), CRF group(C), CP accompany with CRF group(D). Ten rats were sacrificed in every group at the end of week 8. The periodontal index, levels of serum Scr and BUN, the concentration of IL-1β and TNF-α were examined. The severity CP and CRF was quantified by histopathology. The date was statistically analyzed. Results Animal models were established successfully. Scr and BUN in group D, BUN were higher than that in group C[Scr(120.54±21.29)junol/L vs(93.63±18.82)u,mol/L, BUN(34.20±14.44)mmol/L vs(17.77±4.15)mmol/L, P<0.05]. The kidney change of inflammation was observed in group B, the grade of PAS and Masson in group C and D were higher than that in group A(P<0.01), and that in group D was higher than group C(P<0.05). Obvious inflammation of periodontal tissue was observed in group B and D. Attachment loss level(AL)in group D was higher than that in group B[(173.60± 16.75)μm vs(124.00±23.87)μm, P<0.05]. The level of IL-lβ and TNF-α in group B and C and D were higher than that in group A(P<0.05), and IL-lβ in group D was higher than that in group B and C(P<0.05), TNF-a in group D was higher than that in group B(P<0.05). 2×2 factorial design revealed that there were interactions between CP and CRF on the numerus of Scr and BUN and AL P<0.05), and the influence of each factor on that was significant(P<0.05), no interactions were noted between CP and CRF on IL-1β and TNF-α(P>0.05), but the influence of each factor on that was significant(P<0.05). Conclusions The SD rat models can appear chronic periodontitis and chronic renal failure at the same time. There is correlation between chronic periodontitis and chronic renal failure. Chronic periodontitis can aggravate chronic renal failure throngh the role of inflammation.
