[Objective] To observe the effect of Zhuyun Decoction on immune sterility rats.[Method] Set up groups of normal saline,model,Zhuyun Decoction and prednisone,make models of every group by injecting subcutaneously suspension of sperm and Fu's adjuvant,etc.into female SD rats along the groin,NS into normal saline group.After 4 weeks,the groups of normal saline and model take NS,Zhuyun Decoction for Zhuyun Decoction group,prednisone for prednisone group.After 2 weeks,they are closed together with male ones.Before the first immune and 1 week after strengthened immune,take blood and measure AsAb with ELISA method,measure the immune integral of IgG and IgA in uterus tunica intima with SABC method;meanwhile,compare the pregnant rats and average nidation points in all groups.[Result] In the Zhuyun Decoction group,the pregnant rats and nidation points are much more that other groups;Zhuyun Decoction can reduce IgG and IgA integral in uterus tunica intima.[Conslusion] Zhuyun Decoction has definite effect on immune sterility rats,whose mechanism may be related with regulation of IgG and IgA integral in uterus tunica intima.

Sprague—dawey rats were fed for one to three months with Se—deficient grains from Keshan disease area, Se—supplemented diet and stock diet,respectively. Changes of Na~+ ,K~+ ATPase and 5'—nucleotidase activities in cardiac sarcolemma ,Se Contents in liver and plasma and GSH—px activities in Liver and red blood cells of rats were observed. The results showed that Na~+ ,K~+—ATPase. and 5'—nucleotidase activities in cardiac sarcolemma in Se-deficient group rats were significantly decreased,hepatic and plasma Se contents as well as hepatic and erythrocyte GSH—px activities were also significantly decreased at of feeding 30,60 and 90 d as compared to Se—supplemented or stock diet group. There was no significant difference in these parameters between Se—supplemented or stock diet groups There was no significant difference in these paramefers between Se—supplemented and stock diet groups。

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which are regarded as the promising option of cell replacement therapy, are able to regulate immune response after tissue damage caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI). Secondary neuroinflammation following the mechanical injury is the essential factor of neural cell necrosis and apoptosis, even after the intracranial pressure has returned to normal. Their immune environments caused by neuroinflammtary response determine the outcome and long-term behavior function of TBI in survivors directly. MSCs modulate macrophage/microglia, drive them to polarize into alternative M2-like cells through releasing soluble cytokines, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene 6 protein (TSG-6), IL-1 and TGF-β, which limits the progression of inflammation and maintain micro-environment stable. Meanwhile, macrophage/microglia exerts significant effects in MSCs survival, proliferation, differentiation and activation. It provides a novel approach as a practical anti-inflammatory therapy in clinical treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of montelukast combined with seretide in treatment of patients with asthma and its influence on balance between Th17 and Treg cells, and expression of IL-4 and IFN-γ.Methods 110 patients with asthma were randomly divided into observation group and control group, observation group of 55 cases, using montelukast combined with seretide, control group of 55 cases, using seretide,compared two groups of patients with pulmonary function changes, peripheral inflammatory factor changes and influence on Th17 and Treg cells balance. Results Before treatment, observation group and control group,FEV1 and FEV1 /FVC value was no significant difference.FEV1 and FEV1 /FVC after treatment were significantly improved compared with before treatment in two groups, differences were statistically significance (P<0.05).Between two groups, FEV1 values were significantly difference (t=8.1156, P=0.0001), FEV1 /FVC also had significant difference (t=4.8933, P=0.0001) .Before treatment, observation group and control group, IL-4 and IFN-γdid not have a statistically significant.After treatment, IL-4 and IFN-γdecreased significantly, with statistical difference compared with before treatment (P<0.05).Between two groups, IL-4 had significant difference (t=6.0273, P=0.0001), IFN-γalso had statistically significant (t=6.6042, P=0.0001).Before treatment, there was no significant difference between Th17 and Treg percentage, after 12 weeks of treatment and 24 weeks, Th17 in observation group were(0.53 ±0.02),(0.32 ±0.01), the control group were (0.78 ±0.03),(0.62 ±0.02), which had differences (P<0.05).After 12 weeks and 24 weeks,observation group Treg respectively(2.21 ± 0.22),(2.47 ±0.10),in control group were(1.50 ±0.11),(1.84 ±0.14), Treg percentage at different time after treatment, the differences had statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Montelukast combined with Seretide in treating with asthma, pulmonary function of patients is obviously improved, and it can improve Th17, Treg cell.

Objective To explore the microcosmic mechanism of pingyangmycin treating infantile proliferating capillary hemangiomas so as to find the optimal method for hemangiomas′ treatment.Methods Sixty samples of infantile proliferating hemangiomas were divided into control group(30 cases,aged from 2 days to 6 months) and experimental group(30 cases,aged from 2 to 6 months).Pingyangmycin was made into emulsion and smeared on the surfaces of the leision in experimental group with 3 times every day as well as only matrix in control group.The specimens were resected on d7,then made into pathological slices and electron microscope slices in order to observe the cells microcosmic structure changes and ultrastructure changes.Furthermore,the apoptotic indexes of two groups were detected by the molecular biology method(TUNEL test).Results The number of apoptotic cells were lower in control group(apoptotic index 18.87?13.67)but higher apparently in experimental group(apoptotic index 29.52?15.33).The difference between two groups was significant(t=2.842 P

0.05). It was established that both TMP and LPS had less cytotoxic property in this condition. LPS could inhibit the NOS activity (P

Objective To investigate the role of p38MAPK in the differentiation of murine osteoblasts, and to observe the expressions of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). Methods The calvarial osteoblasts of newborn BALB/c mice were cultured in MEM medium containing 10% NCS. Raloxifene (10~(-7) mol/L) and 17β-estradiol (10~(-8) mol/L) were added respectively when cells reached 70%-80% confluence combined with or without 5 μmol/L SB202190, an inhibitor of p38MAPK. The osteoblasts alkaline phosphatase activity assays were performed 72 hours later using PNPP method, and mRNA levels of alkaliphosphatase (ALP), OPG and RANKL were determined by RT-PCR. Results 17β-estradiol and raloxifene increased ALP activity and ALP mRNA level in osteoblasts in vitro which were blocked by p38MAPK inhibitor.The mRNA levels of RANKL and OPG were up-regulated by 17β-estradiol and raloxifene while the ratio of OPG/RANKL kept constant. SB202190 (5 μmol/L) inhibited the highly expressed RANKL and OPG in osteoblasts, and obviously decreased the ratio of OPG/RANKL. Conclusions p38MAPK inhibition blocked the differentiation of osteoblasts and decreased the up-regulated OPG and RANKL expressions in osteoblasts significantly (P<0.05).

Objective: To develop the Chinese version of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q) and evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods: Three investigators assessed 10 dementia cases together with the NPI-Q to evaluate the inter-rater reliability. Eighty-six dementia cases and 30 healthy controls were assessed with the Behavioral Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease (BEHAVE-AD), the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and NPI-Q to evaluate the criterion validity. A subgroup of 30 dementia cases was tested with the NPI-Q again 24 h later to evaluate the test-retest reliability. Results: (1) Internal consistency. Cronbach's a coefficient of the severity subscale was 0.589, mean inter-item correlation coefficient of the severity subscale was 0.107. Cronbach's α coeffi-cient of the distress subscale was 0.612, and the mean inter-item correlation coefficient of the distress subscale was 0.114. (2) Inter-rater reliability. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of the severity subscale was 0.97, and ICC of the distress subscale was 0.94. (3) Test-retest reliability. The test-retest correlation coefficient of the severi-ty subscale was 0.89, and the test-retest correlation coefficient of the distress subscale was 0.86. (4) Criterion va-lidity. The severity subscale total score was correlated significantly with BEHAVE-AD (r=0.70, P <0.001) and BPRS(r=0.40, P<0.001) total score; the distress subscale total score was correlated significantly with the global ratings in part 2 of BEHAVE-AD (r=0.76, P<0.001) . (5) The severity subscale total score in demen-tia group was significantly higher than that in control group (median: 10 vs.1.5, P <0.001). The distress sub-scale total score in dementia group was significantly higher than that in control group (median: 10 vs 0; P< 0.001) . (6) Exploratory factor analysis identified 4 common factors, including psychosis, abnormal behavior,discontrol and affective symptoms, which explained 58.3% of total variance. All of the items loaded were between 0.596 and 0.803 on their conrresponding factor. Conclusion: The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of NPI-Q meet the psychometrics properties, and deserves to conduct further study in larger samples.
