3.Remission rates in patients with refractory skin graft-versus-host disease treated with extracorporeal photopheresis: a meta-analysis
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2017;50(4):286-290
Objective To systematically analyze therapeutic effects of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) on refractory steroid-resistant,-dependent or-intolerant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),to compare remission rates of skin GVHD in detail.Methods Databases were searched for studies concerning remission rates of GVHD after the treatment with ECP,and relevant data were extracted and pooled by using meta-analysis with STATA 12.0 software.Results A total of 22 literatures were reviewed,including 787 patients with refractory GVHD.Meta-analysis showed that the pooled complete remission (CR) rate and overall remission (OR) rate were 57% (95% CI:47%-66%) and 79% (71%-86%) respectively in patients with acute GVHD,27% (21%-33%) and 63% (58%-69%) respectively in patients with chronic GVHD,77% (71%-82%) and 87% (82%-91%) in patients with acute skin GVHD,as well as 39% (30%-48%) and 70% (63%-77%) in patients with chronic skin GVHD.Conclusion ECP is an effective therapy for refractory GVHD,especially for skin GVHD.

Objective To explore the effect of early screening and psychotherapy on post stroke depression. Methods 80 patients with stroke at first onset were assessed with Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17). Patients with depression were divided into control group (n=21) and intervention group (n=21). Both groups received rehabilitation therapy and the intervention group received psychotherapy in addition. They were assessed with HAMD again 2 months after treatment. All of them were evaluated with modified Barthel index (MBI). Results 52.5% patients had post stroke depression. The score of HAMD-17 was lower in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in MBI between 2 groups after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Early screening and psychotherapy can facilitate the recovery of patients with depression after stroke.

Objective To investigate the mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) infection of the respiratory tract infection in children,the macrolide-resistant situation and resistance mechanism of MP. Methods The cultured throat swab specimens were obtained from 80 pediatric outpatients with respiratory tract infection from Dec.2008 to Mar.2009 in Beijing friendship hospital.The 23S rRNA gene of throat swab specimens and positive-cultured specimens were amplified using nested-PCR,and the products were further verified by electrophoresis and DNA sepuencing,which were collected from the outpatients.The specimens were divided into 2 groups depending on the findings of the gene sequencing whether they had gene mutation:sensitive and resistance group.The DNA sequence of samples were compared to the sequence of MP reference strain in genbank in order to findout MP drug resistant gene.The differences in macrolids therapy were investigated between 2 groups before the throat swab obtained.The drug resistance rates were compared between outpatients and inpatients. Results Thirty-two throat swab specimens were proved to be MP by direct nested-PCR,and 8 throat speeimens were proved to be MP by isolation and culrures.Total 33 cases(including 1 was positive-culture but nagative-direct PCR) were proved to be MP positive.Sixteen were identical to the M129 standard sequence,and 17 had point mutation in gene of 23S rRNA V region.Ten had A to G mutation at position 2063,3 had A to G mutation at position 2064,2 had A to G mutation at position 2067,1 had G to A mutation at position 2062,1 had A to T mutation at position 2063.There was no significant difference between the sensitive and resistance group in whether had macrolids before the throat swab obtained(P =0.909).And there was no significant difference in MP drug resistance rate between outpatients and inpatients(P =0.459). Conclusions The major mutation were A2063G and A2064G,and A2063T,A2067G,G2062A were newly found mutation points which were possibly related to macrolids resistance.

Objective To investigate the role of Gly82Ser polymorphism of receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) in the genesis and progression of colon cancer in Chinese population.Methods Using the method of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP),the Gly82Ser genotype of RAGE were examined in 90 colon cancer patients and 78 control subjects age and sex matched.Analyses stratified by TNM and tumor differentiation were conducted to check the associations of the Gly82Ser gene polymorphisms in RAGE and development of colon cancer.Results The genotype distribution was in agreement with that predicted under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for both patients and controls (both P > 0.05).With the GG genotype as reference,the odds ratio (OR) for heterozygous GG and carriers with S allele (GS and SS) were 2.037 (95% CI:1.207-3.438) and 2.022 (95% CI:1.275-3.208),respectively,which had a significantly higher risk of colon cancer.Moreover,the elevated colon cancer risk was especially evident in patients with TNM (Ⅲ + Ⅳ) and/or patients with poor differentiation by stratification analysis (OR,3.575,95% CI:1.495-8.550 and OR,3.580,95% CI:1.390-9.217,respectively).Conclusions The RAGE Gly82Ser polymorphism may confer not only an increased risk of colon cancer but also with invasion of colon cancer in the Chinese population.

Ductular reaction (DR) is a phenomenon that refers to impaired hepatocellular proliferation and activated hepatic stem cells at times of demand such as hepatic regeneration.The components of ductular reactions are thought to be derived from activated hepatic progenitor cells,intermediate hepatobiliary cells,and reactive ductular cells.DRs are thought to play two roles in hepatocarcinogenesis:their hepatic progenitor cells may undergo malignant transformation and migration,and they may contribute to the development of the tumor's microenvironment.Exploring DR phenotype,cellular diversity,and relationship to hepatocarcinogenesis will further enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of human hepatocellular carcinoma with an ultimate goal of developing new therapies.

Full text of literatures on randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of intracoronary infusion of autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) published at home and abroad were systematically retrieved and reviewed from PubMed database and the China Full Text Journal database to assess its efficacy and safety. Fifteen RCTs were included in a recta-analysis with RevMan version 5. 0 software after strict and standard screening. Results showed that global left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the patients with BMSCs transplantation improved significantly ( P < 0. 01 ), but no obvious change in their left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVESV) was observed. Occurrence of end-stage cardiovascular events also decreases significantly ( OR =0. 51, 95% CI =0. 36-0. 72) in patients with AMI.

Objective To study the effect of aluminum on learning and memory and the synaptic interface constructure in hippocampus CA3 area in rats. Methods The electrical maze were used to test the behavioral reaction of rats. Some parameters of synaptic interface structure were measured by the method of ultrastructural quantitative analysis in hippocampus CA3 area in the rats. Results The time coming through the E-maze prolonged siginificantly in the experimental group compared with the normal control (P<0.01), meanwhile the cyto-apparatus demonstrated the pathogenetic changes. Amounts of synapse obviously reduced and the post-synaptic density turned thinner in experimental group than in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Aluminum can cause the malfunction on learning and memory, which related to the plastic of synapse.
