Objective To explore the role of the transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the occurrence and development of the pulmonary fibrosis as well as the synthesis and distribution of these two factors in relation to the angiogenesis process of the pulmonary tissues. Methods The rats were randomly assigned to control group (CG) and bleomycin group (BLM) with the same physical conditions. The bleomycin was introduced to the lung tissues of the rats in the BLM group to mimic the pulmonary fibrosis process. The synthesis and distribution of VEGF and TGF-?1 were observed and recorded on day 3, 7, 14, and 28 in both groups by the immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization approaches. The pathological changes of the subjects were also observed and recorded using both the light-microscope and the transmission electron microscope (TEM) on the same dates.Results The BLM group demonstrated the great significance in both of the VEGF and TGF-?1 presentation and the pathological changes in the pulmonary tissues comparing to the CG group. In the BLM group, VEGF and TGF-?1presented dramatically in the early stages of the fibrosis and this phenomenon lasted with the parallel increases of both the factors. This presentation of VEGF and TGF-?1 showed the greatest distribution on day 28 in the lung interstitial cells and the areas of the presentation corresponded to that of the new angiogenesis and the fibrohyperplacia of the pulmonary tissues. The endothelial cells of the lung capillaries were observed to demonstrate early necrosis, separation from the base, and increased penetrance followed by a great amount of angiogenesis with twisted new blood capillaries and blood embolism formation within, which continued to show on day 28 in the BLM group.Conclusion The presentation of VEGF and TGF-?1 is highly corresponded with the angiogenesis of the bleomycin treated pulmonary tissues in the rats. The continued significant presentation of these two factors may relate to the damage of the new formed capillaries or the impairment of the pulmonary tissues in rats.

Objective To study the changes and significance of sCD14 in inflammatory response of patients with gouty arthritis.Methods CD14 mRNA was measured using quantitative real-time PCR in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).The expression of CD14 mRNA in PBMCs was compared between patients with acute gouty arthritis (AGA)(n =31)and non-acute gouty arthritis (NAGA)(n =23)and healthy controls (HC)(n =20).β-actin was selected as the internal control.The protein expressions of sCD14,IL-1βand TNF-αwere measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients’ plasma.The protein expression of CRP was measured using immunoturbidimetry in patients’ plasma. Routine blood and blood biochemistry indexes were measured by routine blood analyzer and blood biochemistry analyzer of patients with AGA,NAGA and HC.We analyzed the correlation between CD14 mRNA,sCD14 protein expression and each clinical indicator.Results When compared with that in AGA group,the mRNA expression of CD14 increased significantly in PBMCs of HC patients (P < 0.05 ).When compared with that in HC and NAGA patients,the protein expression of sCD14 increased significantly in the plasma of AGA patients (P <0.01).The protein expression of sCD14 was significantly lower in the plasma of NAGA than in HC (P <0.05).The protein expression of sCD14 increased significantly in the plasma of AGA compared with HC and NAGA (P < 0.01 ).When compared with those in HC,the protein expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α increased significantly in the plasma of AGA and NAGA (P < 0.01 ).When compared with that in NAGA,the protein expression of IL-1βincreased significantly in plasma of AGA (P <0.01). The indexes of WBC increased significantly in AGA compared with HC (P <0.01),and WBC increased significantly in NAGA compared with HC (P <0.05).The indexes of GR and MO increased significantly in AGA compared with HC (P <0.05),and MO increased significantly in AGA compared with NAGA (P < 0.05 ).The indexes of UA increased significantly in AGA and NAGA compared with HC (P <0.01).There was a positive correlation between CD14 mRNA expression and IL-1β in PBMCs in AGA group (r s =0.362,P =0.045).A positive correlation was found between GR and the protein expression of sCD14 in NAGA patients’plasma (r s = 0.397,P = 0.030 ). Conclusion The dysregulated expressions of CD14 mRNA in PBMCs and sCD14 protein in GA show that sCD14 may play a significantly regulatory role in inflammatory reaction.

BACKGROUND:A large number of clinical trials have found that the number of bone marrow stem cels at the femoral neck and proximal femur in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head is significantly reduced, accompanied by decreased activity, which causes a significant decrease in osteogenic capacity that the necrotic bone cannot be effectively repaired after absorption, leading to the colapse of the femoral head. OBJECTIVE:To probe into the early clinical efficacy of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cel transplantation with porous core decompression for treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. METHODS:Forty-five patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head (49 hips) were enroled in this study, and underwent autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cel transplantation with porous core decompression. After treatment, pain scores, Harris hip score, scores on the satisfaction of patients were evaluated, as wel as X-ray, CT and MRI examinations. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients received a folow-up visit of 11-14 months, averagely (12.5±0.6) months. During the folow-up, there were no complications and serious adverse reactions. Postoperative pain scores and Harris scores were both improved significantly compared with preoperative ones (P < 0.05). At 12 months after treatment, the excelent satisfaction rate was up to 92%. Patient’s MRI low signal region accounting for a percentage of the volume of the femoral head was decreased from (40.1±7.34)% preoperatively to (20.23±5.4)% at 6 months postoperatively, and there was a significant difference (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cel transplantation with porous core decompression for treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head has significantly clinical effects at early stage, which can obviously reduce joint pain, improve and restore hip joint function, and delay progression of disease.
