Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2009;8(1):36-39
Objective To investigate changes in indicators related to inflammatory cytokines, coagulation and fibrinolysis system in patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) resulted from sepsis. Methods In total, 97 patients diagnosed as sepsis were divided into different groups and their plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tissue factor (TF) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) were measured by ELISA and plasma activity of protein C (PC:A) was measured by chromogenic substrate assay. Results Plasma concentrations of TNF-α and I L-6 were (38 ± 12) ng/L and (77 ± 9) ng/L, respectively, in patients of sepsis complicated with DIC, much higher than those without DIC [ ( 17±6) ng/L and (45 ± 6), respectively], P <0.05;and (63±25) ng/L and (103±28) ng/L, respectively, in those complicated with MODS, significantly higher than in those without MODS [ (29 ± 7 ) ng/L and (48±9)ng/L, respectively], P < 0/05 and those without DIC [( 17 ± 6) ng/L and (45 ± 6) ng/L, respectively], P <0. 05;as well as significantly higher in the dead than in survivors (P <0. 05). Plasma activity of protein C was (32 ± 10) percent in those with DIC and (24 ± 12) percent in those with MODS, both significantly lower than in those without DIC [ (57±28) percent] and without MODS [ (55 ± 17) percent], respectively, P <0. 05, as well as significantly lower in the dead than in survivors, P <0. 05. Plasma concentrations of t-PA and PAI-1 were significantly higher in sepsis patients with DIC [(48±17)μg/L] than that in those without DIC [(103 ± 38)μg/L], P < 0.05. Conclusions Inflammatory cytokines play important roles in development of DIC as well as MODS in patients with sepsis. Decreased activity of protein C and increased plasma level of PAI-1 can result in deposition of fibrin on the vessel wall and thrombosis, which can be used as indicators of poor prognosis for patients with DIC.

Objective To explore the effect of costimulatory moleculars expressed peripheral CD4+ T lymphocyts on graft-versus-host disease(GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Methods 21 patients who suffered of hematology diseases or malignant solid tumors were underwent allo-HSCT and 10 normal individuals were enrolled in the study. The levels of CD28, CD80 and CD152expressions on peripheral CD4+ T lymphocytes were detected by FCM in different time(before allo-HSCT, 7 day,14 day, 21 day, 30 day after allo-HSCT, thetime of GVHD and the time after GVHD treated). STR-PCR was used to detect micro-satellites chimeras forming. Results All 21 patients achieved engraftment. By STR-PCR assay, 12 cases formed complete chimeras (CC) and 9 cases formed mixed chimeras (MC). A multivariate COX survival function modle analysis showed: CD4 CD152 was independent prognostic factors for GVHD (x2=13.128,P <0.0001). Patients with GVHD demonstrated higher CD4+ CD28+, CD4+ CD80+ and CD4+ CD152+ T cell levels than those without GVHD (P <0.01); patients with aGVHD demonstrated higher than those with cGVHD (P <0.05)and without GVHD (P <0.05); Patients with GVHD demonstrated lower CD4+ CD152+ T cell level than those without GVHD (P <0.01); the same result occured between aGVHD and cGVHD and without GVHD.Conclusion The incidence of GVHD between NST and traditional HSCT have no difference. B7-CD28/CD152 costimulatory pathway plays a critical role in the development of GVHD.

Objective To investigate the effect of anti-apoptotic protein HSP-90 in human multiple myeloma cell line U266 cells after bertezomib interaction. Methods The HSP-90 mRNA expression in the U266 cells was tested by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) after 4 hours of treatment of bertezomib by different concentration. Results With the of increased concentration of bortezomib, the expression level of HSP-90 αmRNA was also increased in U266 cells. Respectively, quantitative results of HSP-90α are 0.343±0.017, 0.505±0.039, 0.640±0.029, 0.760±0.059, 0.963±0.054 from the low to high concentration of bertezomib groups. And there are statistical difference between each group(P <0.05). However, the HSP-90β quantitative results in 0 nmol/L concentration of bertezomib (0.61±0.022) have statistical difference between 50, 150, 200 nmol/L groups(P <0.05). HSP-90β quantitative results in 50(0.765±0.050)and 100 nmol/L(0.645±0.052) nmol/L groups are different(P <0.05). Compared with 100 nmol/L concentration of bortezomib group, statistical difference also exists in 150 (0.770±0.059) and 200 nmol/L (0.790±0.027)groups (P <0.05). Although there is no obvious increase in the mRNA expression of HSP-90β from the chart, statistical difference existed in the whole data (P <0.05). Conclusion Bortezomib can increase the level expression of HSP-90 mRNA, and especially increase the level expression of HSP-90α mRNA.
