Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-αis a pleiotropic inflammatory cytokine, which is produced chiefly by acti?vated macrophages. Two forms of TNF-α, soluble and transmembrane, can bind tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) 1 or TNFR2, respectively. Recently, a concept has emerged that TNF-α/TNFR pathway plays an important role in the pathogene?sis of multiple sclerosis and remyelination. TNFR1 induces death of oligodendrocytes via death receptor-mediated apoptosis, which leads to demyelination or other neurodegenerative changes. However, TNFR2 has a positive effect on multiple sclero?sis. It facilitates the proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells, thus promoting remyelination.

Objective To investigate the effects of static magnetics on adhesion of neutrophil and endothelium and expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) on human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC). Methods HUVEC were exposed to 0.05mT, 0.1mT, 1mT static magnetics adhesion of neutrophil was calculated after HUVEC was stimulated by LPS. Flow cytometry and ELSIA were used to study expression of ICAM-1 on endothelium with stimulating of LPS. Results The adhesion of neutrophil l on HUVEC was attenuated by 0.05mT, 0.1mT static magnetics(58% vs. 40%, 38%, P

Objective To summarize the clinical features,treatment and prognosis of bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE).Methods Clinical data were collected from 6 cases of BSLE between May 2009 and September 2015,and were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the 6 patients,2 were male and 4 were female.The mean age of onset was 34 years.All the 6 patients presented with tense blisters and bullae arising on an erythematous base or normal skin,which were arranged in an annular pattern in 3 patients.The SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) score was ＞ 4 in all the 6 patients.Histopathological examination showed subepidermal blisters or fissures in all the patients.Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) revealed continuous linear deposition of immunoglobulin G (IgG),IgM and IgA in all the patients,linear deposition of C3 in 4 patients,and linear deposition of Clq in 2 patients at the basement membrane zone (BMZ).All the 6 patients were treated with oral glucocorticoids and hydroxychloroquine,and 2 patients were additionally treated with cyclophosphamide.During the follow-up period,adverse reactions to different extents were observed in the 6 patients.Conclusions BSLE mainly occurs in young and middle-aged people.Histopathologically,subepidermal blisters or fissures can be observed with linear deposition of IgG,IgM,IgA,or C3 along the basement membrane zone on DIF.

Objective:To investigate the antitumor effect of CpG-ODN combining non-replicating recombinant vaccinia virus in tumor immunotherapy.Methods: CpG-ODN and constructed vaccinia virus v△11?75 were combined to study the antitumor effects in the walker′s rat tumor model.Results: Recombinant vaccinia virus v△11?75 lost the replicating capacity on human cell line,143TK - cell.The genes between HindⅢ C & K fragment of vaccinia virus TianTan strain were deleted,verified with Southern-blot. In the Walker′s tumor model of Wistar rats,Combinational immunotherapy with CpG-ODN and non-replicating vaccinia virus-modified WRC256 oncolysates resulted in prolonged life span and reduced tumor hyperplasia. Conclusion: CpG-ODN can enhance the antitumor effects of non-replicating vaccinia virus-modified oncolysates,providing a new route of tumor therapy.

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of 64 multislice spiral CT (64-MSCT) and 1.5T MRI in nurseling with congenital vascular rings.
Methods:We retrospectively studied the diagnostic records of 64-MSCT and 1.5T MRI in 48 nurseling with congenital vascular rings. There were 42 cases received CTA, 12 received MRA and 6 received both CTA and MRA. We classiifed the types of vascular rings by Edwards sketch map of aortic arch embryonic development and trachea wrapping conditions. The diagnostic values of 64-MSCT and 1.5T MRI on vascular rings were compared.
Results: There were 25 patients with complete vascular rings including 3 of double aortic arch, 12 right aortic arch with left subclavian artery and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), 9 combining with arterial ligament, 1 neck right aortic arch with left subclavian artery combining left PDA;and 23 patients with in-complete vascular rings including 2 pulmonary artery sling, 9 left aortic arch with right subclavian artery combining left PDA, 10 combining with arterial ligament, 1 right aortic arch with left subclavian artery combining right PDA, 1 with innominate artery compressed trachea. There were 32/48 patients combined with cardiac malformations, both 64-MSCT and 1.5T MRI may well reveal the composition and special relationship of vessel rings. The minimum intensity projection (MinIP) and air volume rendering (VR) of 64-MSCT may clearly display the morphology and development of trachea, image fusion technique could directly show the special relationships among vascular rings, trachea and esophagus. While 1.5T MRI was relatively poor to present tracheal image.
Conclusion: 64-MSCT could accurately and comprehensively display the special relationships among the vessels rings, trachea and esophagus;which was the best method for diagnosing the nurseling with vessel rings in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:Systemic lupus erythematosus is a kind of heterogeneous disease, and the difference of clinical features may also be the risk factors of osteonecrosis besides of treatment with glucocorticoids according to the literature. However, it remains controversial on the risk factors of osteonecrosis in systemic lupus erythematosus patients.
OBJECTIVE:To systematical y review the major risk factors of osteonecrosis in the Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
METHODS:The CNKI database, CBMdisc database and Wanfang database were retrieved for the published case-control study literatures on the risk factors of osteonecrosis in the Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The literatures met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included, and a Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.0 and Stata software. Then, the pooled odd ratio and 95%confidence interval of each risk factor were calculated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Ten case-control study literatures were included involving 332 cases in the case group and 986 cases in the control group. The pooled odd ratio and 95%confidence interval of each risk factor of osteonecrosis in the Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were as fol ows:Raynaud’s
phenomenon 3.28(1.69-6.38), dental ulcer 2.95(2.13-4.09), renal involvement 1.21(0.83-1.74), vasculitis 5.64(2.84-11.21), hyperlipidemia 5.11(3.10-8.42), anti-phospholipid antibody 2.32(1.49-3.61) and joints involvement
2.02(1.33-3.07). It has been clear that the glucocorticoids is an independent risk factor of osteonecrosis in the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. However, it is not the one and only risk factor. The fol owing risk factors of
vasculitis, hyperlipidemia, Raynaud’s phenomenon, dental ulcer, positive anti-phospholipid antibody and joints involvement are the risk factors of osteonecrosis in the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum bilirubin level in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction and its significance.Methods 164 hospitalized elderly patients,who suffered from acute cerebral infarction within 1 week after onset,were divided into 2 groups according to age:group A aged over 60 years(n=85) and group B aged 40-60 years(n=79),and 66 healthy subjects aged over 40 years were collected as controls(group C).Serum bilirubin levels in all subjects were determined.The ratio of pulse pressure over mean arterial pressure(PP/MAP) in group A and B was calculated.Nerve function scores in the three groups were detected before and after 2 weeks of treatment.Meanwhile,the data of risk factors including blood glucose,blood pressure,blood lipids,smoking and drinking in group A and B were collected.Results Compared with group C,serum total,direct,indirect bilirubin levels were increased in group A and B(both P＜0.01),and the change was smaller in group A than in group B(P＜0.05).The nerve function scores was lower in group A than in group B before and after treatment [(35.2±12.6) vs.(44.3±7.9),(40.7±9.1) vs.(51.3± 4.1),t=5.58,9.73,both P＜0.01],but PP/MAP and the numbers of risk factors were higher in group A than in group B [(0.46±0.06) vs.(0.38±0.06),93.01 vs.71.20,both P＜0.01].There were no significant correlations of serum total,direct and indirect bilirubin levels with nerve function scores in group A or B(all P＞0.05).Conclusions Serum bilirubin level is increased in patients with acute cerebral infarction,but the endogenous antioxidant capacity is decreased because of aging,multiple risk factors and more serious atherosclerosis in elderly patients,and the increment of bilirubin level is relatively smaller in acute cerebral ischemia,leading to the reduced protective effect against stress.Serum bilirubin level may influence the prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of bicyclol combined with polyene phosphatidyl choline in elderly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods One hundred and twenty elderly patients with NAFLD were divided into 3 groups by block randomization method,40 cases in each group.Therapeutic group was treated by bicyclol combined with polyene phosphatidyl choline; bicyclol group was only treated by bicyclol; and polyene phosphatidyl choline group was only treated by polyene phosphatidyl choline.The blood biochemical indexes,liver ultrasound score and clinical curative effect of 3 groups were compared after treated for 24 weeks.Results The total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma glutamine transferase (GGT) in 3 groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05) ; TC,TG and ALT levels in therapeutic group after treatment were significantly lower than those in bicyclol group and polyene phosphatidyl choline group [(1.36 ± 0.84) mmol/L vs.(2.77 ± 1.27),(2.84 ±1.35) mmol/L; (1.32 ±0.71) mmol/L vs.(1.89 ±0.87),(1.92 ±0.90) mmol/L; (38.26 ± 12.75) U/L vs.(57.83 ± 16.67),(62.07 ± 18.16) U/L],and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The liver ultrasound score in 3 groups after treatment was significantly decreased compared with that before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Liver ultrasound scores in therapeutic group after treatment were significantly lower than those in bicyclol group and polyene phosphatidyl choline group [(2.08 ± 0.93) scores vs.(3.17 ± 1.14),(3.34 ± 1.07) scores],and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The total effective rate in therapeutic group was significantly higher than that in bicyclol group and polyene phosphatidyl choline group [85.0％ (34/40) vs.67.5％ (27/40),65.0％ (26/40)],and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Bicyclol combined with polyene phosphatidyl choline has better clinical effect in elderly patients with NAFLD.It is better than single bicyclol and polyene phosphatidyl choline and worth clinical promotion.

Objective To explore preliminary clinical results of a new anatomical shape allogeneic bone posterior lumbar fusion cage. Methods Follow-up patients used the allogeneic bone posterior lumbar fusion cage and use imaging methods and clinical score (VAS, ODI) to evaluate the patients′ clinical efficacy. Results 14 patients were followed up for 6 months or more , with an average follow-up time of 9.7 months , mean preoperative VAS 6.8 ± 1.1, ODI 32.7 ± 4.5. The mean preoperative disc height was (9.7 ± 2.0) mm and the average intervertebral height of 3 days post operation was (13.2 ± 1.7) mm.
