Objective:To build murine asthma model with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. To compare the curative effects of the immunotherapy regimens with either Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergen extracts or a recombinant Derp2(rDerp2). To offer a novel thread for immunotherapy of allergic diseases.Methods:The BALB/c mice were divided into four groups randomly. They were: negative control, positive control, allergen extracts and rDerp2. Mice were sensitized by i.p. injection of mixture of allergen extracts and Al(OH)3 except the negative control,and were i.p. given a treatment with either allergen extracts or rDerp2 respectively, and then were i.n. given allergen extracts as a challenge. Negative control was treated by saline always. Assays for IgE,IgG1,IgG2a in serum,IL-4,IFN-? in BALF and SCCS were performed by ELISA. Total cell number and assorted cell number in BALF samples were determined. The lungs kept in 10% formalin were made into slices stained by HE in order to observe the pathologic changes in lungs.Results:Compared to the negative control, in the positive control the total cell number and the number of inflammatory cell in BALF were significantly increased, BALF eosinophil counts were significantly increased, neutrophils and eosinophils were the predominant BALF inflammatory; and the Th2 cytokine, e.g. IL-4, was the main cytokine in BALF and SCCS. Compared with the positive control, the allergic responses in the mice given relevant immunotherapy were obviously alleviated, and the predominant cytokine in BALF and SCCS was Th1 pattern, e.g. IFN-?.Conclusion:We established successfully the murine asthma model. Immunotherapy with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergen extracts had better curative effects than immunotherapy with recombinant Derp2.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of subcutaneously given recombinant Der p 2 entrapped PLGA nanoparticles(DEPN) on mouse model with allergic airway inflammation.Methods 40 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 5 groups,group A(normal control) were treated with saline(100 ?l) all the time,groups B,C,D and E were sensitized intraperitoneally with crude dust mite extracts(10 ?g) and then subcutaneously treated respectively with PBS(100 ?l),2 mg empty PLGA(EP),100 ?g rDer p 2,and 2 mg DEPN(loaded with 100 ?g rDer p 2) for 3 times,once per day,followed by intranasal challenge of 50 ?g rDer p 2.One day post challenge,mice were sacrificed and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was collected.Number of the total cells and eosinophils was determined,and airway inflammation and mucus secretion were analyzed by haematoxylin and eosin(H&E) staining and periodic acid-Schiff(PAS) staining.Level of cytokines in the supernatant of splenocyte culture was assayed by ELISA.Level of rDer p 2 specific IgG2a and IgE in the sera was determined by ELISA.Results The lung histology showed development of eosinophil infiltration in the airway of mice in groups B and C.The lung inflammation and mucus secretion in groups D and E were significantly alleviated than that of groups B and C.Number of total cells(63.50?5.12) andeosinophils(15.32?3.04) in BALF decreased in group B.Compared with group B,the number of total cells in groups D(55.3?5.20) ? 104 /ml and E(41.00?4.91) ?104 /ml greatly decreased(P

Objective To review the occurrence and relevant factors of adverse drug reactions (ADR) of Xueshuantong Injection. Methods Articles and documents in CNKI, VIP, and CBM were searched in June 2014 according to incorporation and exclusion standard. The dose, indication, medicating path and method, solvent, as well as the duration of treatment course and adverse reaction of Xueshuantong Injection were analyzed. The national information system for monitoring ADR was searched to collect adverse reaction cases of Xueshuantong Injection (2004.9-2014.9) reported in Lanzhou region. Cases were analyzed and under analogy with literature results. Results Totally 66 articles involving 4686 patients were included (except for patients of control group). Adverse reactions occurred in 767 patients, including skin damage (402 cases), systemic damage (221 cases), gastrointestinal system damage (75 cases). All of these were relieved after treatment. There were 11 adverse reaction cases of Xueshuantong Injection from Lanzhou region reported in the national information system for monitoring ADR. Conclusion There is a high incidence of adverse reactions in the clinical application of Xueshuantong Injection and ratio of serious adverse events report.

Objective:To evaluate the influencing factors and predictive value of renal function recovery in elderly patients with heart failure(HF)and acute renal injury(AKI)after intermittent veno-venous hemofiltration(IVVH)using critical care ultrasound.Methods:The clinical data of elderly patients with heart failure(NYHF grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ)complicated with acute kidney injury(stage 2~stage 3)who underwent intravenous veno-venous hemofiltration(IVVH)in the critical care unit(CCU)of our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The demographic information of the patients and the changes in clinical biochemical and critical care ultrasound monitoring parameters before and after 7 days of IVVH were recorded.Based on the recovery of renal function, the patients were divided into two groups: a renal function recovery group and a renal function non-recovery group.Logistic regression and Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve(ROC)curve analysis were performed to determine the predictive value of various influencing factors on the recovery of renal function in patients.Results:A total of 178 patients were enrolled in this study.After starting IVVH treatment, renal function recovered in 143 cases at 30 days, and in 138 cases at 90 days.However, renal function did not recover in 35 cases at 30 days, and in 40 cases at 90 days.The proportion of NYHF Ⅲ patients、the proportion of diabetic patients、the decrease of Beta 2-microglobulin(β2-MC)、the decrease of Cystain C(CysC)、the increase of venous transit time index(VTI)、the increase of Cardiac Output(CO)and the decrease in renal blood flow resistance index(RI)in the recovery groups at both 30 days and 90 days was significantly higher than that in the non-recovery group(all P<0.05).The total treatment time of IVVH in the recovery group was significantly shorter than that in the non-recovery group, with 30 days and 90 days( P<0.05).Logistic analysis revealed that the total treatment time of IVVH( OR=1.067, P<0.001), VTI( OR=0.652, P=0.024), CO( OR=0.037, P<0.001), and RI(OR<0.001, P=0.010)of the interlobar artery were identified as independent factors influencing the recovery of renal function in AKI patients at 30 days and 90 days after IVVH treatment.The ROC curve demonstrated the predictive value of various independent influencing factors for 30-day renal function recovery.The area under the curve(AUC)for VTI was 0.610(95% CI: 0.513-0.707), for CO it was 0.760(95% CI: 0.656-0.864), and for RI it was 0.694(95% CI: 0.589-0.799).Similarly, the ROC curve showed the predictive value of these factors for renal function recovery at 90 days.The AUC for VTI was 0.654(95% CI: 0.564-0.744), for CO it was 0.697(95% CI: 0.605-0.789), and for interlobar artery RI it was 0.605(95% CI: 0.495-0.715). Conclusions:The venous transit time index(VTI), cardiac output(CO), and renal interlobar artery RI, monitored by critical care ultrasound, are independent factors that can be used to evaluate the recovery of renal function in elderly patients with HF and AKI after IVVH treatment.Additionally, the changes in these parameters within 7 days after IVVH treatment have a high predictive value for the improvement of renal function in elderly patients after 30 days and 90 days.
