Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2011;31(5):448-451
Objective To explore the frequencies and phenotype of myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (mDC and pDC) in chronic HCV infection and to investigate the relationships between DC frequencies and HCV viral load and serum ALT level. Methods PBMC were isolated from chronic HCV infected patients and healthy control. Multi-color flow cytometry was used to analyze the frequencies and surface marker expression on mDC and pDC. The relationship between DC frequencies and viral load and ALT level was also calculated. Results In comparison with healthy control, frequencies of mDC and pDC in chronic HCV infection were significantly decreased (0. 37 ± 0. 19 and 0. 19 ± 0. 12 vs 0. 51 ± 0. 18 and 0. 29 ± 0.13, P<0.05). The frequency of mDC was negatively correlated with HCV viral load (r= -0.5878, P < 0. 0001 ) and serum ALT level ( r = - 0. 4628 , P = 0. 003 ). Both costimulatory markers ( HLA-DR, CD83, CD86, and CD40) and coinhibitory marker (PD-L1) expression on mDC and pDC in HCV infection were increased (P<0.01 for costimulatory marker, P<0.05 or F<0.01 for coinhibitory marker). Conclusion The frequencies of mDC and pDC in chronic HCV infection were decreased, while the expression of costimulatory markers and coinhibitory marker were increased or not decreased in HCV infection. The decreased frequency of mDC was probably related to persistance of HCV infection.

Theapplicationofinternalextractiveelectrosprayionizationmassspectrometry(iEESI-MS)was extended to direct molecular analysis of garlic tissues. By obviating time-consuming sample preparations, fragile active garlic substances such as organosulfur compounds ( e. g. , alliin, allicin ) were successfully detected and identified via collision-induced dissociation ( CID) , together with amino acids ( e. g. , arginine) and saccharides ( glucose, polysaccharides) . Mass spectral fingerprints of different kinds of garlic cloves, as well as various post-treatment ones, were further processed via principal component analysis ( PCA) to better visualize the differences. Our experimental results indicated that iEESI-MS allowed rapid recognition of metabolic changes in the garlic tissue subject to various external stimuli. The merits included simplicity of analysis, high speed ( less than 2 min per sample ) , good specificity, and minimal disturbance to the bioactivity of analytes.

Objective To explore the effect of diammonium glycyrrhizinate(DG) and astragalus membranaceus (AM) injection on the clinical comprehensive score in patients with acute lung injury (ALI). Methods According to the random number table method,a prospective random controlled study was conducted in which 60 cases of patients with ALI were divided into a study group and a control group(each,30 cases). Both groups received a comprehensive treatment based on the new guidelines,and the study group was additionally given DG and AM injection(DG 150 mg+AM 20 ml)one time per day for 7 days. The scores of lung injury,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)and systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS)were measured at baseline,3rd and 7th day after treatment,and ventilation support time and final disease mortality rate were also calculated in all the patients. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the scores of lung injury,APACHEⅡand SIRS before treatment and after treatment for 3 days(all P>0.05),with prolonged treatment,the above indexes were significantly reduced compared with those before treatment in the two groups,and the decreases in scores of indexes in study group was more significant than those in control group after treatment(lung injury score:1.31±0.99 vs. 2.29±1.08,APACHEⅡscore:18.43±8.17 vs. 24.23±6.98,SIRS score:1.69±0.89 vs. 2.60±1.04,all P<0.01). The time(hour)for ventilator support in study group was shorter than that in the control group(176.10±57.81 vs. 286.07 ± 156.27,P<0.01),but there was no statistically significant difference in mortality rate between the two groups(13.33%vs.16.67%,P>0.05). Conclusion The results suggest that DG and AM injection improve the scores of lung injury,APACHEⅡand SIRS,and alleviate the lung injury,so that the injection is beneficial to the early weaning from the ventilator to support treatment in patients with acute lung injury,and has certain therapeutic effect on ALI.

AIM: To systemically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of intraocular implants for vitreous retinal surgery.METHODS: We performed a comprehensive search for studies reporting vitreous surgery with intraocular implants randomized controlled and a retrospective controlled clinical trials from China Hownet ( CNKI ), Wanfang database, and VIP literature database. Studies obtained from those database were filtered according to the criteria, and data were retrieved from eligible studies for further analysis. Then we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraocular implants using comprehensive Meta - analysis software version 2 (Biostat, Englewood, NJ).
RESULTS: In total 36 studies were recruited for our Meta - analysis, including 5 092 cases. Meta analysis showed: 1) regarding the efficacy of repairing the retinal detachment, silicone oil was a better intraocular implants than C3 F8(OR= 1. 76; 95% CI: 1. 19-2. 60, P = 0. 0047) and SF6( OR = 4. 68; 95% CI: 1. 48 - 14. 81, P = 0. 0087); 2) regarding the risk of postoperative cataract, silicone oil showed significant higher risk than BBS (OR = 3. 24; 95%CI: 2. 10-4. 99, P= 1. 09 e-7), and C3 F8(OR= 3. 03; 95% CI:1. 50 - 6. 10, P = 0. 0019 ); 3 ) regarding the risk of postoperative intraocular pressure, silicone oil showed significant higher risk than BBS (OR= 6. 74; 95% CI: 3. 38-13. 41, P= 5. 67 e-08), and C3 F8 also showed a higher risk than BBS (OR= 4. 79; 95% CI: 2. 37-9. 68, P = 1. 29 e-05). In addition, silicone oil showed significant lower risk as compared with heavy silicone oil (OR= 0. 16; 95% CI: 0. 08-0. 53, P= 0. 0026).
CONCLUSION: The intraocular implants for the treatment of retinal detachment in vitreous retinal surgery are mainly divided into two major categories, liquid and gas implants. The silicone oil, a major liquid implant, shows higher efficacy in terms of treating retinal detachment than the gas implants. However, the silicone oil is associated with a higher risk of postoperative cataract and intraocular pressure as compared with gas implants.
