Objective To explore the correlation between the recurrence rate of the elderly patients with lacunar infarction and the risk factors including blood pressure, blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides,low density lipoprotein cholesterol values, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and other. Methods 207 over 60 years old patients with lacunar infarction occurred the first time were included in the study. All patients were followed up two years to assess the relapse rate and the risk factors of the patients with lacunar infarction. Results 207 cases of elderly patients with lacunar infarction complicated with hypertension,type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia were 148 cases,22 cases,7 cases respectively, and the recurrence rates of three groups were 8.78%, 18.18%, 14.29% respectively;The patients complicated with hypertension and 2 type diabetes were 6 cases,and the recurrence rate was 34.62%;The patients without hypertension,type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia were 4 cases,and the recurrence rate was 0%. In two years,27 cases of lacunar infarction recurred,and the recurrence rate was 13.04%. Conclusion Hypertension,type 2 diabetes,hyperlipidemia could also be considered as the high-risk predictor factors for the recurrence rate of the elderly patients with lacunar infarction.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Rab7 on cytokine induced by TLR7 (Toll like receptor-7) R848 activated in Raw264.7,and discusses the influence of Rab7 on MAPK signal transduction.Methods: TLR7 downstream cytokines such as TNF-α,IL-6,IFN-α,IFN-β and IP-10 activated by R848 were detected through Q-PCR in Rab7 silenced mouse macrophages,and then analysis of phosphorylation of MAPK determined with Western blot showed the effect of Rab7 on signal transduction of MAPK.Results: Rab7 inhibit production of cytokine activated by TLR7,and also,Rab7 had an inhibitory effect on MAPK signal pathway.Conclusion: The experimental results further illustrate that the Rab7 is the TLR7 signal transduction pathway negative regulatory factor,and to participate in MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the inhibitory effects of seabuckthorn polysaccharide on hepatic oxidative stress in a mice model of acute liver injury induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS and D -GalN and detect the expression on hepatic BCL-2/Bax and PPAR-γ.Methods: C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into six groups:control group ( CTRL), model group ( L/G), dexamethasone positive control group ( DXM ) , low ( SPL ) , medium ( SPM ) and high dose group ( SPH ) of seabuckthorn polysaccharide.Mice in the SPL,SPM and SPH group were gavaged with 50,100 and 200 mg/kg seabuckthorn polysaccharide for 14 days respectively.Acute liver injury model were established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS (10 μg/kg) and D-GalN (700 mg/kg) .Serum and liver samples were collected 4 h after model establishment .Serum levels of ALT and AST and the content of MDA were de-tected.Hepatic expression of SOD 2 BCL-2 and Bax was determined by Western blot and the expression of PPAR-γwas detected by im-munohistochemistry .Results:ALT and AST levels significantly increased in the model group and decreased dose-dependently after pre-treatment with seabuckthorn polysaccharide .The level of MDA in the model group increased significantly as compared with the control group and decreased in seabuckthorn polysaccharide groups ,while the level of SOD 2 decreased in the model group and recovered in sea-buckthorn polysaccharide groups .The expression of Bax decreased after pretreatment with seabuckthorn polysaccharide .There was no obvious effect on BCL-2 expression after sea buckthorn polysaccharide supplementation .The expression of PPAR-γreduced in the sea-buckthorn polysaccharide group as compared with the model group .Conclusion:Seabuckthorn polysaccharide protects against LPS /D-GalN-induced liver injury.The effect is associated with an upregulation of SOD 2 and downregulation of Bax .

Objective:Using the macrophage cell lines RAW264.7 stably expressing Rab5a and its dominant negative mutant Rab5aN133I as models to analyze the effect and the mechanism of Rab 5a,Rab5aN133I on CpG-induced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and type Ⅰ IFN.Methods: The eukaryotic expression vectors of Rab5a and Rab5aN133I were transfected into RAW264.7 cells by liposome,and screened with G418.The G418-resistant colonies were obtained and amplified.The transformed cell lines were i-dentified by RT-PCR,Real time-PCR and Western blot.The production of cytokines were measured after transformed cell lines of Rab5a and Rab5aN133I was stimulation with CpG for 8 h.Results: Rab5a expression in transfected cells was significantly higher than the control cell group (P<0.05).Overexpression of Rab5a significantly promoted the production of TNF -α,IL1-β(P<0.01) and IFN-β( P<0.05) in CpG stimulated RAW264.7.The production of cytokines was restored in Rab 5aN133I transfected cell line.Conclusion:Rab 5a promotes CpG-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines and typeⅠIFN in macrophages,it may be act as a positive regulator in TLR9 signaling pathway.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2020;39(3):297-300
Objective:To investigate the relationship between risk factors including leukoaraiosis(LA)and recurrent ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 751 patients with first-episode acute ischemic stroke hospitalized within 72 h of onset in the Department of Health and Neurology of our hospital from January 2010 to December 2014 were consecutively selected and followed up for 3 years.Eventually, 701 patients were included in the study, with 124 patients with recurrence in the recurrence group and 577 patients without recurrence in the non-recurrence group.Associated risk factors were compared and analyzed between the two groups.Results:The severity of LA in the recurrence group was significantly greater than that in the non-recurrence group( Z=-2.307, P=0.021). The rates of successful control of blood glucose, blood pressure and blood lipids in the recurrence group were significantly lower than those in the non-recurrence group, (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that factors positively correlated with ischemic stroke recurrence were LA( r=0.451, P=0.007), age( r=0.334, P=0.015), blood pressure( r=0.812, P=0.001), blood glucose( r=0.637, P=0.002), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)( r=0.674, P=0.000), total cholesterol( r=0.748, P=0.003), triacylg lycerol( r=0.878, P=0.004)and smoking( r=0.380, P=0.008), and one factor not significantly correlated with ischemic stroke recurrence was gender( r=0.032, P=0.115). The binary-class logistic regression analysis showed that factors positively correlated with ischemic stroke recurrence included age( B=0.142, P=0.000), blood pressure( B=0.135, P=0.000), LDL-C( B=1.141, P=0.001), triacylg lycerol( B=0.367, P=0.036)and blood glucose( B=0.385, P=0.000); factors not significantly correlated with ischemic stroke recurrence included LA( B=22.221, P=0.997), total cholesterol( B=0.081, P=0.867)and smoking( B=21.434, P=0.995). Conclusions:Age, hyperglycemia, hypertension and triacy lglycerol are independent risk factors and LA, total cholesterol and smoking are confounding factors for ischemic stroke recurrence.Active intervention is of great significance for preventing the recurrence of ischemic stroke.
