Objective To investigate the protective effect of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1 α) on the neurovascular unit in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods The fluid percussion model was applied to induce TBI in rats.A total of 600 rats were divided into sham operation group,TBI group,TBI + HIF-1 α silence group and TBI + control virus group according to the random number table,with 150 rats in each.Virus-mediated HIF-1 α silence gene and control virus were delivered 24 h before the fluid percussion injury.After 3,7 and 14 d,brain injury area and morphological changes in injured region were detected by HE staining,expressions of vascular endothelial cell markers (vWF) and HIF-1 α were detected by Western blot method,and expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin 6 (IL-6) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in peripheral blood and brain tissue were detected by ELISA method.Rat neural function was dynamically assessed using the modified neurological severity score (mNSS).Results (1) Brain injury area and edema area in TBI + HIF-1 α silence group were higher than those in TBI group at all time points (P ＜ 0.05).(2) Compared with sham operation group and TBI + control virus group,expression of HIF-1α in TBI group gradually increased and remained high at 7 and 14 d postinjury (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with TBI group,expression of vWF in TBI + HIF-1αsilence group decreased at all time points (P ＜ 0.05) and inhibited angiogenesis.(3) TBI + HIF-lα silence group versus TBI group showed remarkably decreased VEGF at all time points,increased expressions of TNF-α,IL-6 and NF-κB at all time point,and increased expression of MMP-9 at 7 and 14 d postinjury (all P ＜0.05).(4) TBI + HIF-1α silence group versus TBI group showed significant difference in mNSS at 7 and 14 d postinjury (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions After TBI,high expression of HIF-1αcan facilitate vascular formation and inhibit inflammatory reaction related factor expression,inducing the mitigation of brain edema and brain injury.Therefore,promoting HIF-1α expression may become a new means to improvement of neurovascular function after TBI.

Objective To explore the role of CD4+CD25+CD127low/-regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris(PV). Methods Flow cytometry analysis was used to detect the amount of Tregs in peripheral blood and ELISA to test the levels of IL-10 and TGF-β1 in blood serum; the suppressive function of Tregs on autologous CD4+CD25-T cells was determined by MTT method. Results No significant difference was found in the proportion of Tregs in PV patients and healthy controls(P>0.05). There was a diminished suppression of Tregs from patients on autologous CD4+CD25- responder T cell proliferation in PV patients when compared with that in controls (P < 0.01). The serum level of IL-10 in patients was lower than that in controls (P < 0.01) while that of TGF-β1 in PV patients was significantly higher than that in controls(P < 0.01). Conclusion Abnormal function of Tregs and low secretion of IL-10 in PV patients might be related to the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

The antigen (CVB-Ag) and IgM (CVB-IgM) were detected using ELISA method. Results: (1)There were 47% positive of CVB in upper respiratory tract infection and 48% positive of CVB in pneumonia(no difference between them, P>0.05). (2) There were 62% positive of CVB in asthma, 61% positive of CVB in myocarditis and 68% positive of CVB in allergic purpura(no difference among them, P>0.05)； But the positive rate of CVB in asthma, myocarditis and purpura were higher than in upper respiratory tract infection and pneumonia, (P<0.05). (3) There were lower positive rate of CVB in other kinds of diseases (16%) and in healthy children (3%)(no difference between them, P>0.05). Conclusion: CVB infection was related to several kinds of diseases, the relationship between CVB infection and diseases such as asthma, myocarditis, and allergic purpura should be further studied.

Objective: To study the infectious state of 3 kinds of viruses (CVB, CMV and EBV) in respiratory tract infection and its significance. Methods: Among 290 patients studied, there were 158 boys and 132 girls, aged from 6 months to 12 years. The antigen of coxsackievirus B (CVB-Ag) and antibody of coxsackievirus B (CVB-IgM), antibody of cytomegalovirus (CMV-IgM) and antibody of EB virus (EBV- IgM) were detected by ELISA method. Results: (1) The positive incidence of upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia was higher than that of noninfectious disease group (P<0.01). The positive incidence of CVB was higher than that of CMV and EBV(P＜0.01). (2)There were cross viruses positive, especially in pneumonia group (P<0.05), usually CVB cross other virus infection. (3) The course of pneumonia was long in single CVB (P<0.01) and longer in cross infection of viruses (P<0.01). Conclusion: CVB infection is the most common one in the 3 viruses. Attention should be paid to multiple viruses infections in pneumonia children.
