Objective To assay the level of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and healthy controls and compare the difference between SLE group and control group, and to analyze between the level of NETs and related laboratory parameters. Methods Forty-four females patients with SLE were recruited as research subjects, with 24 cases in the active stage and 20 in stable stage. Forty-two healthy female volunteers matched in age were enrolled as control subjects. The fluorescence intensity of NETs in neutrophils was detected by fluorospectrophotometry. The concentration of neutrophil elastase in plasma was quantitatively detected. Statistical analysis of the difference of level of NETs between the SLE group and control group was conducted. Then the correlation between the fluorescence intensity of NETs and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and anti-histone, and anti-nucleosome, and systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) was analyzed respectively. The same tests were conducted for the level of NE. The results of the two groups were compared using analysis of variance and the relevance was analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis. NETs morphosis was observated by immunoflurescence method, and the difference of NETs between SLE group and control group was analyzed. Results ① The fluorescence intensity of NETs was significantly increased in SLE group(241±139) than that in the control group (173±135), (t=2.31, P<0.05).②The concentration of NE in the SLE group (102±47) was significantly higher than that in the control group (62±22), t= 4.38, P<0.01. No difference of NETs [(274±168) vs (211±102), t=1.52, P>0.05] and NE concentration [(104±43) vs (96±48), t=0.50, P>0.05] between SLE active stage and stable stage was detected. ③ The fluorescence intensity of NETs in SLE patients was positively correlated with SLEDAI, but had no obvious correlation with anti-dsDNA, anti-histone, anti-nucleosome, CRP or ESR, respectively. ④Images under confocal microscope showed that more NETs generated by PMN from SLE patients than that from controls. Conclusion The generation of NETs is enhanced in female patients with SLE. And NETs may relate to disease activity. However, NETs may not induce the production of autoantibodies.

Escherichia coli BA002, in which the ldhA and pflB genes are deleted, cannot utilize glucose anaerobically due to the inability to regenerate NAD+. To restore glucose utilization, overexpression of nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase) encoded by the pncB gene, a rate-limiting enzyme of NAD(H) synthesis pathway, resulted in a significant increase in cell mass and succinate production under anaerobic conditions. However, a high concentration of pyruvate was accumulated. Thus, co-expression of NAPRTase and the heterologous pyruvate carboxylase (PYC) of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris NZ9000 in recombinant E. coli BA016 was investigated. Results in 3 L fermentor showed that OD600 is 4.64 and BA016 consumed 35.00 g/L glucose and produced 25.09 g/L succinate after 112 h under anaerobic conditions. Overexpression of pncB and pyc in BA016, the accumulation of pyruvic acid was further decreased, and the formation of succinic acid was further increased.

Objective To explore the clinical effect and side-effect of oxaliplatin(L-OHP)-containing regimen and cisplatin (DDP)-containing regimen in TACE of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods 108 patients with advanced HCC were randomly divided into experimental group(n=55) and control group (n =53). The experimental group were treated with TACE using L-OHP. After dilute with glucose solution, L-OHP(130 mg/m2) and FT207 (500-750 mg/m2) were injected into blood vessel respectively. ADM (40 mg/m2) and LP (10~30 ml) were emulsified and then used for vessel embolism according to the size of focus. The control group received TACE with DDP, DDP (40 mg/m2) and F]'207(500~750 mg,/m2) were diluted with glucose solution, and also according to the size of tumor' s focus, ADM(40 mg/m2) and LP(10~30 ml) were emulsified for vessel embolism, and then diuretic. Results The total effective rate of experimental group was 67.3 % (37/55), and that of control group was 47.2 % (25/53), and the difference was with statistical significance (P <0.05). The descent rate of AFP of experimental group was 73.1%(31/43), and that of control group was 44.7 % (17/38), and the difference was with statistical significance (P <0.05). The main side effects were gastrointestinal reactions, the incidence rate of nausea and vomiting in experimental group were lower than control group, and the difference was with statistical significance. The incidence rate of leucopenia, damage of hepatic function and peripheral neuritis were not significant. Damage of heart and kidney were not found in the two sets. Conclusion L-OHP -containing regimen in TACE of advanced HCC is an efficient method, with good security and good tolerance to patients.

Objective To explore the characteristics of cesarean scars pregnancy(CSP)and discuss differ-ent therapeutic methods and clinical outcomes. Methods Clinical data of 96 cases of CSP were collected from Sep-tember 2013 to October 2016 and patients′ clinical features,intra-operative findings,β-HCG,vaginal bleeding duration,hospital stay and cost and effects of different treatments were recorded and analyzed. Results The types of CSP were the determinant of lesion resection ,followed by the tumor size and blood β-HCG levels. The cases of uterine lesion resection and general uterine curettage with UAE had less blood loss than those without UAE. The cases of uterine lesion resection had short hospital stay and those with general uterine curettage had longer vaginal bleeding duration. Conclusion TVCD and MRI have important values in the diagnosis of CSP. During the treatment of CSP,personalized treatment planning,early diagnosis and treatment exert influence on reducing complications.

Objective To compare the bone microstructure and osteoblast and osteoclast activity in different regions of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.Methods The osteonecrosis femoral heads were collected from 10 patients (Ficat Ⅳ) who had undergone total hip arthroplasty from March 2011 to May 2013.There were 6 males and 4 females.Their average age was 47.7 years old (range,40-57 years).The samples were divided into subchondral bone region,necrotic region,sclerosis region and healthy region according to radiographic results,then the bone microstructure,micro mechanism and osteoblasts/osteoclasts activity were analyzed byMicro-CT,RT-PCR,Nanoindentation,immunohistochemistry and Trap staining.Results According to the micro-CT results,the continuity of trabecular bone in necrotic region was damaged.The number of trabecular was increased and the gap was narrowed in sclerosis region.The shape and number of trabecular bone were normal in the healthy region.The elasticity moduli in different regions were:subchondral bone region 13.808±4.22 GPa,necrotic region 13.999±3.816 GPa,sclerosis region 17.266±3.533 GPa and healthy region 11.927±1.743 GPa.The hardness were subchondral bone region 0.425±0.173 GPa,necrotic region 0.331±0.173 GPa,sclerosis region 0.661±0.208 GPa,and healthy region 0.423±0.088 GPa.The trap staining of subchondral bone in healthy region and necrotic region were positive while other regions were negative.Immunohistochemistry staining showed that compared with necrotic region,the RANK and RANKL staining level increased significantly in subchondral bone and necrotic region,while Runx2 and BMP2 staining level increased significantly in sclerosis region.Conclusion The mechanical properties of trabecular have no significant difference between necrotic region and healthy region in the progress of the osteonecrosis,while the bone structure has obvious changes.An active bone resorption is observed in subchondral bone and necrotic region,while a higher bone formation activity is found in sclerosis region.

10.Progress in researches on stem cell therapy for erectile dysfunction.
National Journal of Andrology 2009;15(10):937-940
Erectile dysfunction (ED) commonly results from endothelial dysfunction and erectile nerve damage. Recent researches have focused on the preclinical studies of stem cell-based therapies targeted at repairing penile endothelium and protecting erectile nerves. Early studies showed that stem cell- or gene-modified stem cell-based therapies may have enduring efficacy and eventually lead to a cure for ED. Such stem cells as embryonic, mesenchymal, muscle-derived and adipose-derived ones and endothelial progenitor cells all have differentiation potentials and obvious advantages in protecting and repairing both nervi erigentes and corpus cavernosum vascular endothelial cells. Stem cell-based therapies promise to be an effective approach to human erectile dysfunction.
