Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;(2):112-115
Objective To find out the clinical characteristics related to neonate food allergy.Methods Ten subjects were diagnosed as neonate food allergy at the Third Hospital of Peking University from January 201 3 to January 201 5.The following clinical data:the gestational age,genter,age of onset,feeding,clinical manifestations,white blood cell count,eosinophilic granulocyte count,C -reactive protein(CRP),routine stool test and occult blood test,blood spe-cific IgE of cow′s milk and clinical outcomes were investigated.Results There were 4 term infants,and 6 preterm in-fants,including 2 very -preterm subjects.The gender ratio between male and female cases was 73.The age of onset from 1 day after birth to 43 days after birth,clinical investigation of neonate food allergy in 1 0 cases,and the average time was 20.3 d,the median age was 1 8.5 d,and the SD was 1 3.38 d.Their rectified gestational ages were from 30 to 37 weeks in 6 cases at onset.Four infants received breast feeding,3 infants received formula milk feeding,and the other 3 infants received mixed feeding.At onset,the symptoms were almost involved in the digestive system.The white blood cell counts of lab test were almost normal in 1 0 subjects.And eosinophilic granulocytes were elevated in 8 subjects.CRP elevated in 1 case,and those of the other 9 subjects were normal.The cow′s milk specific IgE antibody was elevated in 1 subject,and that of the other 9 subjects was normal.Two subjects were performed opened food challenge test and the finding were positive.Conclusions Both the term infants and the preterm infants can have food allergy,but the age of onset ranged widely.Breast feeding infants can also be attacked.The symptoms of the digestive tract were the main clinical manifestations of such neonates.The open -food challenge test is beneficial to diagnose but difficult to practice in the neonates.Dietetic treatment is the only method can therapy the disease.And mostly the clinical outcomes are desirable.
2.Effects of halofuginone on maturation of dendritic cells and immune tolerance during homograft heart transplantation of rats
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;37(7):40-42,45
Objective To explore the role of halofuginone in immune regulation,observe the effects of halofuginone on maturation of dendritic cells and immune tolerance during homograft heart transplantation of rats,in order to provide new ways and means to treat transplantation tolerance and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods Rat bone marrow derived dendritic cells were isolated and the effects of halofuginone in LPS-treated DCs were investigated by flow cytometry;heart transplantation model of rats were established and the effect of halofuginone stimulated dendritic cells in the immune tolerance by pathological analysis and mixed lymphocyte reaction were observed.Results Flow cytometry results show that the expression of cell surface CD80 CD86,OX62 antigens were not high in control group,their expression increased significantly when stimulated by LPS for 24h,and decreased when stimulated by both Changshan ketone and LPS for 24h,and even lower than their expression levels in blank group,which showed that Changshan ketone has the ability to inhibit the maturation of dendritic cells induced by LPS.In rat heart transplantation model,dendritic cells stimulated with Changshan were injected into recipient rats in vivo,and receptor of rat transplantation rejection decreased significantly,which showed that dendritic cells stimulated with Changshan ketone may be used as a new method for cell therapy in treatment of transplant rejection.Conclusion This study systematically observes that halofuginone can inhibit the maturation of rat bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and lymphocyte proliferation for the first time in vivo and in vitro.

The present study is to investigate the protective actions of guggulsterone against the cytotoxicity produced by exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in PC12 cells. It was evaluated by MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide] reduction assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay, and the release of nitric oxide (NO). ROS and Ca2+ in cells were evaluated by DCFH and Fura 2-AM, respectively. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was assessed by the retention of rhodamine 123 (Rh 123). Apoptosis and morphological alteration in PC12 cells were monitored with flow cytometry and electric microscope. Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant, was employed as a comparative agent. The results showed that preincubation of PC12 cells with guggulsterone (0.1-10 μmol·L-1) prevented cytotoxicity induced by H2O2. Extracellular accumulation of LDH, NO and intracellular accumulation of ROS, Ca2+ resulting from H2O2 were significantly reduced by guggulsterone. Incubation of cells with H2O2 caused a marked decrease in MMP, which was significantly inhibited by guggulsterone. The percentage of H2O2-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells was 24.3%, and decreased in the presence of guggulsterone (0.1-10 μmol·L-1) by .8.4%, 15 .9%, 11.8%, respectively. Guggulsterone exhibited comparable potency against oxidative stress induced by H2O2 in PC12 cells as that of vitamin E. The present findings showed that guggulsterone attenuated H2O2-induced cytotoxicity, extracellular accumulation of LDH and NO, intracellular accumulation of ROS and Ca2+, loss of MMP, and apoptosis, which may represent the cellular mechanisms for its neuroprotective action.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the YSZ-1 uterine manipulator in total laparoscopic hysterectomy.Methods Total laparoscopic hysterectomy was employed in a total of 78 women by using the LigaSure,ultrasonic scalpel,and the YSZ-1 uterine manipulator.The anterior fornix was opened and the manipulator was placed on the lip of the cervix.Then the uterus was completely removed.Results The operation was completed smoothly in all the 78 patients.The operating time was 45~90 min(mean,63 min),and the intraoperative blood loss was 40~100 ml(mean,65 ml).No urinary tract injuries,vaginal bleeding,or other postoperative complications occurred.The length of postoperative hospital stay was 4~7 d(mean,5.3 d).Follow-up examinations in the 78 patients for 3~6 months(mean,4 months) showed that the vaginal wound normally healed up. Conclusions Use of the YSZ-1 uterine manipulator in total laparoscopic hysterectomy makes the procedure easier and safer.The YSZ-1 uterine manipulator is a useful laparoscopic instrument.
