The effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on experimental thrombosis and its mechanism were studied. The results showed that eicosapentaenoic acid had a significant antithrombolic effect both in vivo and in vitro . EPA also had a fibrinolytic activity and can shorten euglobulin lysis time. Our studies also showed that EPA can inhibit platelet aggregation in rats. The plasma concentration of 6-keto-PGF1a and TXB2 was measured by radioimmunoassay. The results showed that EPA can reduce the contents of TXB2 and raise 6-keto-PGF1a/TXB2 ratio.

The mutation of lysosomal trafficking regulator (LYST) gene and the clinical data of an adult patient who showed an abnormal gait with Chediak-Higashi syndrome were analyzed retrospectively. The whole exon sequencing was applied, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the results. All members of the family were genetically verified for the same mutation site. The sequencing revealed the presence of c.421C>T(p.Arg141 *) mutation in LYST gene in the proband, which was inherited from his parents. The mutation was found in the homozygous state for the proband, both his parents being heterozygous for the same mutation. This mutation type was not reported in the human gene mutation database. According to the American Society of Medical Genetics and Genomic Society′s guide to the interpretation of genetic variation, the mutation of c.421C>T was identified to be pathogenic.

Background Hypertension,ischemia and hypoxia induce the increase of glutamate level in eye tissue and furthermore produce excitatory damage and apoptosis of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs).At present,the study on the protection of traditional Chinese medicine on glutamate-induced retinal excitatory damage is lack.objective Present study was to explore the protective effects of Huoxue huayu decoction,a Chinese herbal recipe,on RGCs in acute ocular hypertension model. Methods Fony-five healthy clean Wistar rats were divided into three groups randomly.The acute ocular hypertension models were established in 40 Wistar rats by injecting the normal saline solution into the anterior chamber to elevate the intraocular pressure for 60 minutes.Huoxue huayu decoction of 4 ml was administered intragastrically once per day in 20 model rats.Other matched 5 normal Wistar rats served as normal control group.The rats were sacrificed on 1,3,7 and 14 days after modeling and the retinas were isolated for the histopathologieal and uhrastructure examination.Expression of glutamate transporter in the retina of acute ocular hypertension and normal rat retina were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.The utilization of animals followed the Association for Research in vision and Ophthalmology. Results After acute ocular hypertension.the retina thickness attenuated and the numbers of RGCs decreased under the light microscope in 1,3,7 and 14 days after modeling in comparison with normal control rats.The degradation of the organelle and edema as well as changes of cell nuclei were seen in model rats under the transmission electron microscopy.The expression of glutamate transporter mRNA in model group and glutamate transporter group was rapidly elevated in the first day (P<0.05),descended at the third days(P<0.01)and returned to the normal level 7 days later(P>0.05).Conclusion Huoxue huayu decoction can protect the retina against RGCs damage in the acute ocular hypertension by elevating the expression of glutamate transporters in retina.

Objective To investigate the changes of the levels of interleukin(IL)-17 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of BALB/c mice infected by mycoplasma pneumonia (MP).Methods Sixtyfour BALB/c mice were randomly divided into two groups,normal group (n =32) and MP infected group (n =32).The BALF and lung tissue of two groups were collected after MP infection on day 3,7,14,21,each time 8.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the lung tissue.IL-17 content in BALF was detected by ELISA.Results The inflammatory changes of the lung tissue was the most obvious at 7 day,and had begun to subside at 14 day,disappeared at 21 day after MP infection.IL-17 levels in BALF were (53.783 ±2.218) pg/ml(3 day),(65.913 ± 10.693) pg/ml(7 day),(59.915 ± 8.085) pg/ml(14 day),(57.043 ± 11.997) pg/ml(21 day) in MP infection group,and (46.220 ± 3.260) pg/ml in normal group.BALF IL-17 content increased significantly in MP infection group compared with normal group(P ＜ 0.05).IL-17 content reached its peak on day 7 after MP infection (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion MP infection increased the level of IL-17 in the mice of BALF,reaching the peak on day 7.MP infection may be involved in airway inflammation in asthma through the IL-17 pathway.

Objective • To investigate the effect of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the pathological injury in fat embolism mice model. Methods • One hundred and twenty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 10 groups. One group was set as blank control group, and others were injected separately with 1, 2…9 μL/g of allogeneic perirenal fat via tail vein, respectively. The mortality of each group was counted, median lethal dose (LD50) of fat injection in mice was calculated by Bliss method, and the fat embolism LD50 mice model was established. The TLR4 protein expression in the pulmonary tissue of surviving mice was detected by Western blotting. Sixty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the control group (the same dose of saline was given via tail vein) and the experimental groups (group 2 h, group 8 h, group 24 h and group 48 h, the LD50 fat was given via tail vein). The TLR4 protein expression at different time after fat injection was detected by Western blotting. The mortality of 20 TLR4 gene-knockout mice (TLR4-/- mice) was recorded and compared with 60 wild-type mice after LD50 fat injection. Results • The LD50 of fat embolism mice model was (3.93±0.78) μL/g. After the injection of 1-7 μL/g fat, the expressions of TLR4 protein in the pulmonary tissue of all seven groups were significantly increased, compared with the control group (all P=0.000). In the fat embolism LD50 mice model, compared with the control group, the expressions of TLR4 protein in group 2 h were significantly increased (P=0.005). Then, expression level of TLR4 protein was gradually reduced after 2 h, and there was no significant difference between the control group and group 48 h. The mortality of TLR4-/- mice injected with LD50 fat was lower than that of wild-type mice (P=0.043). Conclusion • TLR4 protein involves in the pathologic process of fat embolism syndrome. The knockout of TLR4 gene can reduce the mortality of fat embolism mice. TLR4 and its correlated non-infectious inflammatory response may be an important molecular mechanism of biochemical injury in fat embolism syndrome. Blocking the activation of TLR4-mediated signaling pathway can significantly improve the prognosis, which provides new basis for the prevention, evaluation and treatment of fat embolism syndrome.
