Objective To determine the relationship between serum levels of MCAF/MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic and activating factor/monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), RANTES(regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted) and the disease activity of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Methods Serum levels of MCAF and RANTES were measured by ELISA. Results ①Serum level of MCAF but not RANTES, was significantly increased in patients with SLE as compared with controls. ②Serum level of MCAF but not RANTES, was markedly higher in patients with active disease than those with inactive disease. ③No significant differences were found in the serum levels of MCAF and RANTES between patients with renal damage and those without. Conclusions These results suggest that MCAF may be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE, and serum MCAF levels could be an indicator for the disease activity of SLE.

Objective To investigate the possibility of anti-liver fibrosis of 13-estradiol nanoparticle prepared by interfacial polymeri-zation method with butylcyanoacylate as carrier material (E2-PBCA-NP) and its effect on the expression of transforming growth factor β1 and connective tissue growth factor in pig serum induced animal fibrotic model. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were random divided into five groups. Except normal control group, other four groups were all given intraperitoneal injection with pig serum. Therapeutic drugs were administered to rats from the ninth week after injection of pig serum. All rats were killed at the end of the twelfth week. Several experi-ments were done as below, the tissues of liver were observed by Masson staining, and the mRNA of TGF-β1 and CTGF of liver samples were detected by RT-PCR. Meanwhile, the expression of TGF-β1 and CTGF protein were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results It showed that both E2 and E2-PBCA-NP treatment groups had lower stage of liver fibrosis, according to the observation of pathology by Masson staining (P < 0.05). The anti-liver fibrosis effect of E2-PBCA-NP treatment group was better than that of E2 treatment group (P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein level of TGF-β1 and CTGF were markedly reduced by E2 and E2-PBCA-NP treatment, compared with liver fibrotic model groups (P <0.01). There was no statistical difference between E2-PBCA-NP and E2 treatment (P >0. 05), while no significant change was observed in blank nano -particle group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Both E2-PBCA-NP and E2 had anti-liver fibrosis activity. E2-PB-CA-NP has stronger anti - liver fibrosis activity than E2, which could be resulted from the inhibition of TGF-β1 and CTGF expression.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in CHOP regimen for un-treated elderly patients with advanced diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods:In a prospective phase II study, we analyzed the feasibility of PLD-modified CHOP regimen in elderly patients with advanced stages of DLBCL. PLD was administered at 30 mg/m2 in combination with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone at standard doses every 21 d for six cycles. CD20 positive patients were given option for rituximab treatment. Results:From November 2011 to March 2014, 30 patients with a median age of 70 years (range:63 to 80) were enrolled in this study. Up to 24 cases (80.0%) obtained an International Prognostic Index of≥3. The overall re-sponse rate was 86.7%, and the complete remission rate was 66.7%. With a median follow-up of 20.1 months, the 18-month overall and progression-free survival rates were 82.4%and 70.1%, respectively. The main toxicity was neutropenia, reaching grades 3 to 4 in the 24 cases (80.0%). No significant changes existed in patients' left ventricular ejection fraction and serum troponin-T during the study. Four patients (13.3%) showed asymptomatic abnormal changes in electrocardiogram after PLD infusion. Conclusion:CHOP regimen with PLD is an effective alternative for the treatment of DLBCL in elderly patients, exhibiting an acceptable toxicity.
