Objective To assess the value of salivary gland scintigraphy in diagnosis of Sj(o)gren's syndrome (SS).Methods A total of 44 patients with clinically suspicious SS were included.The data of salivary gland scintigraphy were retrospectively analyzed and the time-radioactivity curve (TAC) was obtained by outlining ROI in bilateral parotid glands and submaxillary glands.Uptake index (UI) and excretion fraction (EF) were defined.Both UI and EF were compared with the visual assessment and final diagnosis respectively.Results UI and EF of bilateral parotid glands and submaxillary glands in SS patients were significantly lower than those in non-SS patients (all P＜0.05).The impaired salivary gland function was classified as 0-3 grades by visual assessment.The UI of bilateral parotid glands and submaxillary glands were negatively correlated with the qualitative classification.While there were no significant correlations between EF and qualitative classification (all P＞0.05),except for that of right submaxillary gland (r=-0.312,P=0.039).The comprehensive diagnostic efficacy of UI on SS patients was higher than those of visual assessment,but their area under curves of ROC were not significantly different (all P＞0.05).Conclusion UI and EF can effectively evaluate salivary gland function and serve as objective tools to distinguish patients with SS.

OBJECTIVE:To study the spectrum-effect relationship of the antipyretic effect of Radix Bupleuri injection. METH-ODS:HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprint of Radix Bupleuri injection. The antipyretic effect of 10 batches of Radix Bupleuri injection on fever rats induced by dried yeast were determined respectively. The fingerprint peaks were screened,along with the temperature value of different time points(0,10,15,30,40,55,70 min). The principal components were extracted by principal component method and the indirect relationship between the fingerprint and antipyretic effect was analyzed,depending on the principal component correlation coefficient matrix. RESULTS:There were 39 common peaks in fingerprint(similarity>0.85), No. 8,12,14,19,26,31,34,35 and 39 common peaks with large peak area were included in the study. Four principal compo-nents were extracted by principal component analysis(87% of total variant). First principal component showed that the active com-ponents of the 12th peak may be related to the antipyretic effect of 6 to 13 hours. The second principal component showed that the active components of the 26th peak may be related to the antipyretic effect of 0.5 to 5 hours. The third principal component showed that the similar effect of the active components could be caused by 34th,35th and 39th peaks. The fourth principal component sug-gested that there were some similarities between the 14th and the 31st peaks. CONCLUSIONS:Radix Bupleuri injection have obvi-ous improvement for fever rats. There is certain corresponding relation between HPLC fingerprint and antipyretic effect of Radix Bu-pleuri injection .

Objective:To study the effects of panax notoginsenosides on the proliferation and oxidation indices of cisplatin-induced nephroxicity in HK-2 cells. Methods:HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro till the number was up to 1 × 106/ml. The cells were inoculated in 96-well culture plate and randomly divided into six groups:normal saline ( NS) group,the model group, the positive control group and the high dose group , medium dose group and low dose group of panax notoginsenosides ( PNS) . The nephroxicity model was dupli-cated with the addition of cisplatin (the final concentration was 6. 25μg·L-1). The model group, positive control group and the three panax notoginsenosides groups was treated with saline solutions, amifostine, panax notoginsenosides at the dose of 100,50 and 25 mg· L-1 , respectively. The cell viability was detected with an MTT method, the content of MDA and the activity of SOD, GSH-PX and LDH were measured and the cell structure was observed. DCFH-DA was used as the fluorescence probe to detect the level of ROS by a fluorescence microplate reader. Results:Compared with those in the model group, the cell viability and the activity of SOD and GSH-PX in the three PNS groups and the positive control group significantly increased (P<0. 05);the content of MDA, the level of ROS and the activity of LDH significantly decreased (P<0. 05); the cell structure was significantly improved. Conclusion: PNS can pro-mote the proliferation of HK-2 cells in vitro, and improve the biochemical parameters and enzyme levels. The results suggest that PNS has a protective effect on HK-2 cell,and the protective mechanisms may be related with its antioxidant effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) silenced by lentivirus-mediated RNA interference (RNAi) on the growth of SKOV-3 ovarian cancer,and to explore the value of radioimmunoimaging in monitoring the biotherapy of RNAi.Methods The ovarian cancer cell line SKOV-3 was infected with lentivirus-mediated HER2-short hairpin (sh) RNA expression vector and scrambled control lentivirus vector,respectively.Both infected cells were inoculated into nude mice to establish two ovarian cancer xenograft models:knock down 1 (KD1) group and normal control (NC) group.The uninfected SKOV-3 xenograft model served as blank control (CON) group.The tumor formation rate,tumor generation time and tumor size at different time points were measured.The expression of HER2 protein was measured by immunohistochemistry.1n Ⅰ-Herceptin was injected before radioimmunoimaging,and the T/B ratios were acquired.One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference (LSD)-t test were performed with SPSS 17.0.Results All mice models were constructed successfully (100％,15/15).The average time of tumor generation was (4.583±0.520) d,(4.567±0.284) d and (6.023±0.316) d in CON,NC and KD1 groups,respectively(F=13.946,P＜0.01).The tumor formation time of KD1 group was significantly longer than the other two groups (t=4.557,4.608,both P＜0.01),respectively.On the 28th day after the tumor cell implantation,the tumor size was significantly different among the three groups (F=26.343,P＜0.01).The tumor mass was (0.614±0.135) g,(0.558±0.190) g and (0.120±0.489) g in CON,NC and KD1 groups,respectively (F=225.026,P＜0.01).Both the tumor size (t=7.125,4.759) and tumor mass (t=19.158,16.977) of KD1 group were significantly less than those of CON and NC groups (all P＜0.01),respectively.Immunohistochemical results showed that the HER2 protein expression was inhibited in the KD1 group.The tumor could be visualized clearly on radioimmunoimaging at different time points.The T/B ratio of the KD1 group (0.208-4.427) was significantly lower than those of the other two groups at any intervals (0.576-5.508,0.640-5.695; F=9.197-39.375,all P＜0.05).Conclusions The growth of SKOV-3 could be inhibited remarkably by lentivirus-mediated HER2-siRNA.Radioimmunoimaging with 1nI-Herceptin might positively correlate with the expression of HER2 protein,which might have potential for monitoring the biotherapy of RNAi targeting HER2.

Anemia is one of the most common complications of rheumatoid arthritis （RA）. It is an important factor affecting the quality of life of patients and disease prognosis in addition to joint dysfunction. The pathogenesis of RA with anemia in western medicine is complex and diverse， and it is difficult to give consideration to medication. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has certain therapeutic advantages because it pays attention to overall regulation and syndrome differentiation. In recent years， with the in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of RA in modern medicine and the continuous improvement of the idea of diagnosis and treatment combined with disease and syndrome in TCM， the connotation of TCM pathogenesis of RA has gradually broken through the traditional theoretical framework of "arthralgia syndrome"， and TCM etiology research of toxin in RA and its complications has received increasing attention. By tracing and sorting out the theory of "toxin caused arthralgia"， combing with the research results of the pathological mechanism of modern medicine， this thesis expounds the importance of toxins in the pathogenic factors of RA in TCM. On this basis， it is further proposed that "deficiency caused by toxic heat" is the core pathogenesis of RA with anemia. Deficiency of healthy Qi， the six exogenous factors， the seven emotional factors， and improper diet can lead to the formation of toxic heat， and damage to the joint structure and viscera， resulting in blood deficiency. To treat RA with anemia， the syndrome differentiation by stages is conducted based on the principle of detoxification and dredging collaterals， and the mechanism of self-made prescription Ersi decoction on RA complicated with anemia is explored based on previous research， to enrich the theoretical basis for the treatment of RA from toxic heat and provide new ideas for TCM differentiation and treatment of RA with anemia and other complications.

Objective To establish female and male bovine collagen-induced arthritis(CIA)models and compare the effects of gender differences on joint and extra-articular manifestations of the CIA model.Methods The CIA model was induced by injection of bovine type Ⅱ collagen and Freund's complete adjuvant into female and male SD rats.The general condition,arthritis index,foot swelling,serum proinflammatory factors and plasminogen activator inhibitor levels,spleen index,knee and ankle joint pathologies,right rear paw bone destruction,and pulmonary interstitial lesions were evaluated.Results The arthritis index of female CIA rats was significantly higher than that of male CIA rats on day 21 after initial immunization(P＜0.05),but no significant difference was found in the degree of foot swelling between the two groups at any time point(P＞0.05).Serum tumor necrosis factor α,interleukin-1β,and the spleen index of female CIA rats were significantly higher than those of male CIA rats(P＜0.05,P＜0.001).No significant difference was found in plasminogen activator inhibitor levels(P＞0.05).The scores of inflammatory cell infiltration and synovial hyperplasia in the knee and ankle pathologies of female CIA rats were significantly higher than those of male CIA rats(P＜0.05),and cartilage damage of the knee joint and bone damage of the right rear paw of female CIA rats were significantly higher than that of male rats(P＜0.05).Both male and female CIA rats showed pulmonary interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration and mild fibrosis,but the pulmonary interstitial lesions in females were more severe than those in males.Conclusions Female and male CIA models established in SD rats have arthritis and pulmonary interstitial lesions,but the lesion degree in female CIA rats is more serious.When using CIA models for RA-related research,attention should be focused on the effect of gender differences.

Objective:To evaluate the expression of Vimentin and its relationship with clinical pathological data and prognosis in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).Methods:A total of 269 mRCC patients, from June 2007 to June 2017, treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were included in the study. Vimentin was assessed by immunohistochemistry on continuous paraffin embedded slides. To analyzed the relationship between Vimentin expression and clinicopathological data and prognosis. Measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD). The relationship between Vimentin expression and clinicopathological data of mRCC patients was determined by Chi-square test. Survival analysis used Kaplan-Meier survival curve, Log-rank test to judge the relationship between Vimentin expression and patient′s overall survival, and COX regression analysis was used for univariate and multivariate analysis. Results:Vimentin was expressed in cytoplasm of tumor cells. Vimentin expression in mRCC patients′ tissues was positively correlated with tumor Fuhrman grade ( P=0.002), and negatively correlated with prognostic overall survival ( P=0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that Vimentin expression was an independent risk factor for overall survival in patients with mRCC ( P=0.006). Conclusions:Vimentin expression can be used as a prognostic indicator of mRCC. It is expected that Vimentin can provide prediction for the prognosis of mRCC patients treated with TKI.
