1.Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(12):944-947
Inflammatory reaction plays an important role in the occurrence and development of ischemic stroke. Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) is one of the subfamily members of the CC chemokine class. It can attract and activate a variety of cells, such as monocytes and T lymphocytes, promote the expression of cytokines, and participate in the occurrence of ischemic brain injury. This article reviews the progresses on the MCP-1 and ischemic stroke-related research.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) , and to compare the European, Japanese and Chinese diagnostic criteria.Methods:A total of 45 patients confirmedly diagnosed with DIHS according to the DIHS criteria originally proposed by Bocquet, were collected from the First Affiliated Hospital (Southwest Hospital) of Army Medical University between January 2009 and January 2019. Clinical data on the 45 patients were retrospectively analyzed, clinical characteristics were summarized and re-evaluated according to the European, Japanese and Chinese diagnostic criteria separately, and differences were analyzed in terms of the latency period, time to rash regression, eosinophil count, liver function indices, etc. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare means among multiple groups, and t test to compare means between two groups. Results:Of the 45 patients, 38 presented with eruptive drug eruptions, and 44 were accompanied by liver damage, 40 by elevated counts of peripheral white blood cells, 38 by eosinophilia, 21 by lymphadenectasis, and 4 by mucosal damage. Common culprit drugs included allopurinol (10 cases) , anti-tuberculosis drugs (7 cases) , cephalosporins (7 cases) , and Chinese medicine (4 cases) . Forty patients were treated with glucocorticoids, and 17 with glucocorticoids and intravenous gamma globulin. After treatment, 44 patients received improvement and 1 died. According to the European diagnostic criteria, there were 29 patients with suspected DIHS and 16 with confirmed DIHS; according to the Japanese diagnostic criteria, 37 patients could be confirmedly diagnosed with DIHS, but 8 could not be confirmedly diagnosed; according to the Chinese diagnostic criteria, 17 patients could be confirmedly diagnosed, but 28 could not be confirmedly diagnosed. According to the Japanese diagnostic criteria, the latency period was significantly longer in the patients with a confirmed diagnosis (36.91 ± 21.73 d) than in those without (20.00 ± 20.82 d, P = 0.04) . Conclusions:Common culprit drugs for DIHS include allopurinol, anti-tuberculosis drugs and cephalosporins. Most patients with DIHS are accompanied by liver damage, and the European diagnostic criteria are preferentially recommended for DIHS.

Objective To study the radiographic findings in the diagnosis of pulmonary lymphoma and pseudolymphoma. Methods Eight patients with pulmonary lymphoma and 2 with pseudolymphoma were examined by X-ray film, tomography, and CT. Results Single or multiple nodules or masses were observed in 8 patients with pulmonary lymphoma, shaggy borders or halo of ground-glass attenuation in 7 patients, 2 patients had multiple patchy infiltrates bilaterally, 2 had diffuse interstitial infiltrates and 1 had miliary nodules. Multiple consolidations with air bronchogram and without hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy were observed in 2 patients with pulmonary pseudolymphoma. Conclusion Radiographic findings of pulmonary lymphoma were varied, the most common findings were the nodules or masses with shaggy borders or halo of ground-glass attenuation. The specific findings of pulmonary pseudolymphoma were multiple consolidations with air bronchogram and without hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The final diagnosis relied on pathology.

Objective To investigate the relationships between the expressions of cidA and lrgA and the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus epidermidis clinical isolates. Methods Thirty-nine S. epidermidis clinical isolates were divided into biofilm formation group and non-biofilm formation group according to adhesion assays and icaA amplification, 20 strains for biofilm formation group and 19 strains for another group respectively. Amplify cidA and lrgA fragment with PCR, detect mRNA levels of cidA and lrgA with RT-PCR and then calculate the ratios of cid/lrg mRNA. Results All of the 39 isolates of S. epidermidis existed cidA and lrgA gene.Select 2 strains of S. epidermidis, Y36 and Y26, at random for detecting the cidA and lrgA mRNA levels of different phases, the highest level of cidA mRNA shows on 4 h's culture while lrgA shows on6 h. The relative expression levels of cidA of 39 isolates of S. epidermidis were 0.340 + 0.250 in biofilm formation group and 0. 406 +0. 408( P =0. 541 ) in non-biofilm formation group for 4 h culture, while the relative expression levels of lrgA were 0.325 ± 0.218 and 0.253 ± 0.211 respectively ( P = 0. 299). There were no significant differences between these two groups. The ratios of cid/lrg mRNA were 1.067 ±0.529 and 1.958 ±1.877 respectively, the difference of population distribution was significant( P = 0.001 ). Conclusion The expressions of cidA and lrgA of S. epidermidis clinical isolates may be time-limited. There were no significant differeces of expressions of cidA and lrgA between biofilm formation group and non-biofilm formation group. The ratios of cid/lrg mRNA maybe have some biological significance.

The radioactive iodine uptake(RAIU) has great value in determining the 131I treatment dosage of patients suffered from hyperthyroidism and judging thyroid function. Many factors which could interfere the results of RAIU were as follows: instrumental factors, thyroid radioactivity counts measurement, counts of a calibrated standard in a neck phantom and counts of room background, iodinated drugs and food, anti-thyroid medication, among other causes, have shown to induce varying degrees of errors in RAIU measurements. Irregular measurements which may interfere with radioactive iodine uptake are commonly seen in clinical practice, yet its actual influence has not been reported. Optimization, regularization and quality control of the radioiodine uptake measurement are essentials for clinical routine practice to guarantee appropriate values for clinical hyperthyroidism diagnosis and treatment. All the above factors affecting the measurement of thyroid function instrument for radioactive iodine uptake are analyzed and then put forward the corresponding solutions.
