Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(07):-
Objective:To investigate the role of STAT3 in the pathogenesis of acute viral myocarditis(VCM)in mice and its possible mechanism.Methods:Acute VCM mice models were established forty-five mice were randomly divided into blind control group (n=10),virus-infection control group(n=15),RPMintervention group(n=20).In RPM intervention group,RPM was given to mice intraperitoneally once a day with general dosage of 0.4 mg(/kg?d)at 24 hours before infected with coxsackie virus B3,mice of virus-infection control group were given the same volume of Dulbcco's Modifed Eagle Medium and virus.Blind control group was only given the same volume of Dulbcco's Modifed Eagle Medium,but not infected coxsackie virus B3.Twelve days later,the general condition and survival rate of mice were observed and then all experimental mice were sacrificed patholog and detecting CVB3 virus titer in myocardium. And double-sandwich ELISA was used to detect the levels of IFN-?,and TNF-?in the serum.Results:The pathological changes of myocardium of the mice in RPM intervention displayed more seriously than the mice with acute VMC and both the cytokines expressions in the serum of RPM intervention group were higher than those of the acute VMC group,but there was no significant difference in the virus titer between the two groups.Conclusions:The activation of STAT3 can somehow protect myocardial tissues during the incidence of viral myocarditis in mice to inhibit its activation and improve the sensibility of mice to CVB3,although the activation of STAT3 cannot affect CVB3 virus replication,it can inhibit the over-expression of IFN-?and TNF-?to weaken myocardial damage.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of vitreo-retinal surgery on oclular siderosis. MethodsThe clinical data of 22 patinets (22 eyes) with ocular siderosis due to the magnetic foreign body at intraocular postsegment were retrospectively analyzed. The patients aged from 6 to 54 years (average 40 years), including 21 males and 1 femal. The duration of the magnetic foreign body remained in the eye lasted for 1 month to 20 years. The preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was <0.01 in 15 eyes, 0. 01-0. 15 in 5 eyes and 0.1-0.2 in 2 eyes. There was Intra-vitreous foreign body in 18 eyes and ocular wall embedded foreign body in 4 eyes; intraocular foreign body (IOFB) combined with cataract in 18 eyes; combined with retinal detachment in 3 eyes; scleral buckling combined with silicon oil filled in 12 eyes and C3F8 filled in 7 eyes.Cataract extraction was performed in 12 eyes, and 2 eyes underwent filtrating surgery. ResultsThe IOFB was successfully removed by one-off surgery in 22 eyes. BCVA increased in 20 eyes (90.9%) and kept unchanged in 2 eyes (9. 1%), including<0.1 in 7 eyes, 0. 1-0.4 in 8 eyes, and 0.5-1.0 in 7 eyes. Operative complications involved retinal holes with retinal detachment in 2 eyes and vitreous haemorrhage secondary to enlarge sclera incision in 2 eyes.Postoperative complications included secondary cataract in 4 eyes, retinal detachment due to silicon oil removal 3 months after submacular removal of foreign body in 1 eye, and retinal detachment 7 days after C3F8 filling in 1 eye; the latter two eyes had reattached retina after another silicon oil filling. At the end of the follow-up period, retina reattached in 22 eyes. ConclusionAdvanced modern vireo-retinal operation is ffective on oclular siderosis, which can avoid the release of Fe+ and improve the patients' visual function.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacies between warm needling and Ibuprofen sustained release capsules (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAID) in treating patients with dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis. MethodSixty-five patients with dysmenorrhea induced by adenomyosis were randomized into a treatment group of 33 cases and a control group of 32 cases. The control group was intervened by oral administration of Ibuprofen sustained release capsules, while the treatment group was intervened by warm needling.The intervention lasted 3 menstrual cycles and a 3-month follow-up was studied. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), dysmenorrhea symptoms scores and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups.ResultThe VAS scores after the intervention and inthe first and second months of the follow-up study were significantly different from the pre-treatment score in the two groups (P<0.01); the VAS score of the 3-month follow-up was significantly different from the score before the intervention in the treatment group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the VAS score after the intervention and in the follow-up study between the two groups (P<0.01), and the treatment group was superior to the control group. The dysmenorrhea symptoms scoresdeclined significantly after the intervention and in the first and second months of the follow-up study in both groups (P<0.01); the dysmenorrhea symptoms score of the 3-month follow-up study decreased in the treatment group and was significantly different from the pre-treatment score (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the dysmenorrhea symptoms scores in the second and third months of the follow-up study between the two groups (P<0.01). The total effective rate was 93.9% in the treatment group, significantly better than 62.5% in the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionWarm needling is effective in easing pain and improving the symptoms of dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis, and can produce a consistent efficacy after the termination of thetreatment; it's superior to NSAIDs in comparing both short-term and long-term treatment efficacies.

Objective:To study the correlation between chronic urticaria and Helicobacter pylori infection,and to explore the significance of HP detection in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic urticaria. Methods: Totally 420 cases of chronic urticaria,who were treated in outpatient department from April 2014 to July 2015,and 450 cases of healthy physical people were selected randomly as healthy control group in the same period,then the serum HP unease antibody was detected by colloidal gold method,the positive rate of two groups patients with HP was analysed. Meanwhile 162 chronic urticaria patients with positive HP were divided into experimental group with 88 cases and control group with 74 cases. The patients in the control group were treated with conventional treatment,while the experimental group were treated with triple therapy based on the treatment of control group,and the clinical efficacy of different ther-apeutic methods was analysed in the chronic urticaria patients with positive HP. Results: The positive rate of HP in chronic urticaria group was 38. 6%, and the positive rate of HP in healthy control group was 14. 4%, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05). The effective rate of clinical efficacy in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group(P<0. 05). Con-clusion:There is close correlation between chronic urticaria and HP infection,HP detection has important clinical significance for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic urticaria.

Objective Using chemically synthesized small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfected HepG2.2.15 cells to construct a cell model in interfering hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene, studying the inhibi-tion of HBV replication and antigen expression in vitro. Methods After transfection of HepG2.2.15 cell for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, detecting the cell supernatant of HBsAg and HBeAg by chemiluminescence immunoassay, the cell supernatant HBxAg protein by ELISA , the HBx mRNA relative expression of transfected cell was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the ability of cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. Results After HBx-siRNA transfected HepG2.2.15 cells, cell proliferation ability was inhibited. The cell of HBx mRNA and the cell supernatant of HBxAg expression decreased (P < 0.05); at the same time it in-hibited the expression of HBsAg and HBeAg. The suppressed peak and the inhibition rate were 66% and 58%respectively at 72 h. The fluorescence quantitative PCR confirmed that expression of HBV DNA in the super-natant was decreased. Conclusion The HepG2.2.15 cell interference model of HBV X gene has been success-fully constructed, which has an effect of inhibiting proliferation of HepG2.2.15 cells and replication and expres-sion of HBV gene in vitro.
