Objective: To investigate the expression of Th1/Th2 inflammatory cytokines IL-2, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IL-4, and IL-10 in rat treatment model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) -induced ulcerative colitis. Methods: Forty Sprague Dawley (SD) male rats were divided into a normal group, a colitis model group, a sulfasalazine(SASP)-treatment group (SASP group) and a Jiechangning-treatment group (Jiechangning group) (each groupn=10). Disease activity index (DAI) and colorectal histological damage scale were assessed. The expression levels of cytokines IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-10 in the serum and the colon mucosa tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) and real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Results: Compared with the colitis model group, the DAI and colorectal histological damage scale were decreased in the Jiechangning group (bothP<0.05), but there was no obvious difference compared with the SASP group (P>0.05). There was no signiifcant difference in IL-2 expression both in the serum and the colon mucosa tissues before or after the treatment in various groups (P>0.05). Compared with the colitis model group, IFN-γ level both in the serum and the colon mucosa tissues was decreased in the SASP group and the Jiechangning group, with significant difference in the serum (bothP<0.05), but there was significant difference in the colon mucosa tissues only in the Jiechangning group (P<0.05). The serum IL-4 level in the SASP group and the Jiechangning group was increased compared with that in the colitis control group, with significant difference only in the Jiechangning group (P<0.05). There was no difference in IL-4 level in the colon mucosa tissues whether treated or not (P>0.05). IL-10 level both in the serum and the colon mucosa tissues in the SASP group and the Jiechangning group was increased compared with that in the colitis model group, with significant difference (allP<0.05). There was no difference in the expression level of cytokines IL-2, IFN-γ, IL-4, and IL-10 both in the serum and the colon mucosa tissues between the SASP group and the Jiechangning group (allP>0.05).
Conclusion: DSS can break the balance of Th1/Th2 expression in the colon. Jiechangning enema can ameliorate DSS-induced acute experimental colitis in rats by decreasing IFN-γ level and increasing IL-10 level both in the serum and the colon mucosa tissues to regulate the Th1/Th2 balance and improve immunity.

Objective To analyze and evaluate the efficay of split liver transplantation in children.Method From September 2006 to December 2014,210 children were treated with liver transplantation in Tianjin First Central Hospital.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed and the difference in postoperative survival was compared between the groups.The 210 childrens were categorized into living donor liver transplantation group (183 cases) and split liver transplantation group (27 cases) based on their operation styles.In living group,all donors to recipients were immediate relatives within three generations.In split group,all donors were men,and livers were obtained from no heartbeat donors.Postoperatively,tacrolimus combined a duplex of prednisolone served as immunosuppression scheme.The survival and incidence of complications were observed.Result There was significant difference in the sex ratio between two groups (P＜0.05).The donor liver cold ischemia time was significantly longer in split group than in living group (P＜0.05).The 1-month,6-month,1-year and 2-year overall survival rate in 210 recipients was 99.5％,98.1％,96.2％ and 94.2％ respectively.The median follow-up time in living group and split group was 15.2months and 26.1 months,respectively.The 1-mont,6-month,1-year and 2-year survival rate was 99.5％,96.7％,92.6％ and 74.1 ％ in living group,and 97.8％,96.2％,77.8％ and 74.0％ in split group,respectively (P＜0.05).During the follow-up period,8 cases died (29.6％) in split group (5deaths due to infection and sepsis,and 3 deaths due to multiple organ failure),and 10 cases died (5.5％) in living group (6 deaths due to infection and sepsis,and 4 deaths due to multiple organ failure).Conclusion In the case of strict selection of donors,split liver transplantation can obtain good effect,but the incidence of complications is higher than living donor liver transplantation.Especially,the biliary complications should be prevented and managed actively.
