Background:TIPE2 is a newly identified negative regulator of innate and adaptive immunity that maintains immune homeostasis and immune tolerance. It has been demonstrated that TIPE2 is expressed in a wide variety of tissues and organs in humans. Aims:To investigate the expression of TIPE2 in peripheral blood and colonic mucosa of patients with ulcerative colitis(UC)and non-UC subjects,and to explore the role of TIPE2 in the initiation and development of UC. Methods:Forty-two peripheral blood samples and 30 colonic mucosa samples from patients with active UC were collected during Jan. 2015 to Aug. 2016 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xian Jiaotong University. Peripheral blood and colonic mucosa samples from non-UC subjects were served as controls. Real-time PCR and immunohistochemical staining were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of TIPE2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and colonic mucosal tissues, respectively. Results:Expression level of TIPE2 mRNA in peripheral blood of UC patients had a trend to increase but no significant difference was found between UC patients and the controls(P >0.05). When classified by Truelove-Witts severity index,there was no significant difference among patients with severe,moderate and mild UC(P >0. 05). Expression level of TIPE2 protein was significantly higher in colonic mucosa of UC patients than that of the controls(P<0.05);the expression level increased with increase of histological grade of UC,but the difference was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). Conclusions:Increased colonic expression of TIPE2 might contribute to the initiation and development of UC.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of high glucose on the expressions of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and proinflammatory cytokine production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in hepatic stellate cells in vitro.

METHODSHepatic stellate cell line T6 was cultured in vitro and stimulated by high glucose. The mRNA and protein expression of TLR4 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. After a 24-h pretreatment with high or low glucose, the cells were stimulated with LPS for 2 h, and Western blotting was used to detect the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB); at 24 h of LPS exposure, the cells were examined for MCP-1 and IL-6 mRNA and protein expression levels with RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively.

RESULTSHigh glucose significantly increased the mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4 (P<0.01) in a time- and dose-dependent manner. High glucose promoted NF-κB nuclear translocation and significantly enhanced the expression and secretion of both MCP-1 and IL-6 (P<0.01). Pretreatment with high glucose significantly promoted LPS-induced NF-κB nuclear translocation (P<0.01) and the mRNA expression and secretion of MCP-1 and IL-6.

CONCLUSIONSHigh glucose can increase TLR4 mRNA and protein expressions in hepatic stellate cells and promote LPS-induced NF-κB activation and production of proinflammatory cytokines.

Objective To investigate the value of MR diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in assessment of the microstructural changes of the trigeminal nerve,and analyze it's correlation with the degree of vascular compression. Methods Thirty-four patients with trigeminal neuralgia from November 2015 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed in this study.And they were treated by microvascular decompression(MVD). There were 11 cases of gradeⅠ,16 cases of gradeⅡand 7 cases of gradeⅢaccording to the severity of the contact between nerves and vessels during the operation. All of them were scanned with three dimensional time-of-flight(3D-TOF)sequences, three dimensional fast imaging employing steady state acquisition(3D-FIESTA)sequences and DTI before undergoing surgical decompression. According to the preoperative MR scans,the trigeminal nerves were divided into the healthy side without neurovascular contact (25 cases) and the healthy side with a neurovascular contact (9 cases).The DTI parameters of the trigeminal nerve,including the anisotropic fraction(FA)and the ADC values were obtained.Comparison of the FA and ADC values of the trigeminal nerve between the different stages of the affected side was performed with single factor analysis of variance, and the paired samples t test was used to compare the difference of FA and ADC values of bilateral trigeminal nerve. The difference of FA and ADC values between the asymptomatic side with or without vascular contact was compared with independent sample t test. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between DTI parameters and the degree of compression. Results The FA values of patients with grades Ⅰ,ⅡandⅢwere 0.311±0.009, 0.308±0.007 and 0.299±0.009 respectively,and there was significant difference among different levels(F=5.269,P<0.05).The ADC values of the three grades were(2.298 ± 0.309)×10-3,(2.214 ± 0.175)×10-3and (2.259 ± 0.248)×10-3mm2/s respectively, showing no statistically significant difference(F=0.402,P>0.05). The FA values of bilateral trigeminal nerves in healthy side without neurovascular contact and in healthy side with neurovascular contact were statistically significant (t=-32.528,-25.178,P<0.05). There was significant difference in the ADC value of bilateral trigeminal nerves in the group without neurovascular contact(t=2.162,P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the ADC values of bilateral trigeminal nerves in the healthy side of the neurovascular contact group(P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the FA and ADC values between the two groups on the healthy side of the trigeminal nerve(P>0.05).The FA value was negatively correlated with the degree of vascular compression (r=-0.453,P<0.05),while the ADC value was not correlated with the degree of vascular compression(P>0.05). Conclusion DTI imaging can be used to evaluate the degree of trigeminal nerve injury. More obvious vascular compression leads to lower FA value.
