Objective To evaluate renal vascular damage (RVLs) and detect the expression of miR-145 in children with lupus nephritis (LN).Methods Clinical data of 41 cases of LN diagnosed by renal biopsy from the children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were collected. Glomerular damage score and RVLs were evaluated. The children were divided into groups according to RVLs score and pathological pattern. In situ hybridization was performed to detect the expression of miR-145 in kidney blood vessel. Differences in RVLs, miR-145 expression in the renal blood vessels and glomerular damage score were observed among the groups with different renal pathological pattern. Differences in clinical parameters, glomerular damage score and miR-145 expression in the renal blood vessels were investigated among groups with different RVLs. Results Among the groups with different pathological pattern, there was no difference in RVLs (P>?0.05) while signiifcant different were found in the expression of miR-145 and glomerular damage score (P??0.05) while a statistical different was found in the expression of miR-145 (P?

This study is to determine the preventive effect and mechanism of targeting IL-17A on pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis after acute lung injury. Mice were treated with anti-IL-17A antibody on the day 7 and sacrificed on the day 14 after bleomycin lung injury. The pulmonary inflammatory status and the deposition of collagen were measured by HE and Sirius stains staining. The contents of hydroxyproline and collagen were measured by using commercial kits. The survival rate of mice was calculated by Kaplan-Meier methods. The inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were measured by ELISA and the expressions of inflammation-related molecules were detected by Western blotting assay. Targeting of IL-17A could prevent the development of lung inflammation, decrease collagen deposition and the contents of hydroxyproline, and protect against the development of pulmonary fibrosis, which together led to an increase in the animal survival. Moreover, blocking IL-17A decreased the expression ofpro-fibrotic cytokines such as IL-17A, TGF-beta1 and IL-13; increased the expression of anti-fibrotic or anti-inflammatory factors such as IFN-gamma, COX-2, 5-LOX, 15-LOX. Indeed, IL-17A antagonism suppressed the activation of pro-inflammatory p65NF-kappaB but enhanced the activation of pro-resolving p50NF-kappaB. In conclusion, that blockade of IL-17A prevents the development of pulmonary fibrosis from acute lung injury, is because blocking IL-17A may prevent acute inflammation converting to chronic inflammation.

Objective To study the use of ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic cholecystostomy (PTGD) followed by selective minilaparotomy cholecystectomy (MC) for acute obstructive cholecystitis in the high-risk elderly.Method A retrospective study was conducted on 120 patients who received ultrasound-guided PTGD followed by selective MC from January 2008 to December 2010.Results PTGD+ MC were performed successfully on 120 patients with acute severe obstructive chole cystitis.In all the patients,the abdominal pain was relieved within 2-3 h of operation,and the temperature decreased to normal from 24- 48 h after operation.The average time of drainage was 10 days.In 97 patients MC was performed 1 week after PTGD,and in 23 patients 2 weeks after PTGD.Bleeding from gallbladder bed occurred in 1 patient.No patient suffered from bile leak.There was no major complication or death after PTGD+ MC.Conclusion PTGD followed by selective MC is a simple,efficacious and minimally invasive treatment for high-risk elderly patients with acute obstructive cholecystitis.

BACKGROUND: Delirium is an acute organic brain syndrome caused by various reasons, and it is common in elderly patients. Antipsychotics treatment is an important method to control delirium.OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy of new antipsychotic agent of olanzapine and the traditional antipsychotic agent of haloperidol in treating senile delirium.DESIGN: A randomized controlled observation. SETTING: Mental Health Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing University of Medical Sciences.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 175 inpatients with senile delirium were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing University of Medical Sciences from September 2001 to September 2003, they were randomly divided into olanzapine treatment group (n=74), haloperidol treatment group (n=72) and a control group(n=29). There were 111 males (63.4%) and 64 females (36.6%). Delirium had occurred for a duration of 30 minutes to 17 days, with an average of (3.02±2.71) days. The enrolled patients were classified according to the etiological factors of delirium: metabolic (n=68), toxic (n=47), structural (n=25) and infectious (n=35).METHODS: Different treatments were used in different groups. Control group (n=29): The patients were only given somatic treatment aiming at delirium, and not any drug for central nervous system was used. Olanzapine group (n=74): Besides the somatic treatment aiming at delirium, the patients were given olanzapine (Zyprexa, produced by Eli Lilly and Company,5 mg/tablet) taken orally or sublingually (fasted patients), the initial dosage was 1.25-2.5 mg per day, and then adjusted to 1.25-20 mg per day. Haloperidol group (n=72): Besides the somatic treatment aiming at delirium, they were treated with intramuscular injection of haloperidol (2.5-10 mg per day). The effects were prospectively observed for 1 week.The scores were observed before enrollment and at 1-7 days respectively,the severity of mental disorder and amelioration were evaluated by the clinical global impression scale-severity of illness (CGI-SI) and global improvement item of clinical global impression scale (CGI-GI). The dosage and time of administration was taken as the dosage and time to take effect when the CGI-SI baseline scores decreased by more than 1 point.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The severity of mental disorder and amelioration were observed.RESULTS: ① The scores of CGI-SI after treatment were significantly decreased in the olanzapine group, haloperidol group and control group, and there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.01). ② The rates of marked effect in the three groups were 82.4%, 87.5% and 31.0%, respectively, and those in the two treatment groups were significantly different from that in the control group (P ＜ 0.01). ③ Both olanzapine and haloperidol began to take effect at small dosages, and it was the fasted in the olanzapine group, followed by the haloperidol group, and slowest in the control group.CONCLUSION: Olanzapine and haloperidol have similar effects in treating senile delirium. However, olanzapine is faster to take effect than haloperidol.

Objective To investigate the status of food intolerance of patients with ulcerative colitis,(UC),to provide the basis for directing UC patients diet related nursing.Methods Forty-seven UC patients were selected from September 2013 to August 2014 in General Hospital of Tianjin University.The Southerland Disease Activity Index (DAI) was used to divide the UC patients into remission,mild activity and moderate to severe activity groups.The food-specific IgG antibodies status were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in UC patients and healthy people.Relevant clinical parameters were analyzed statistically.Results Food intolerance rate in UC patients was as high as 68.08％(32/47);the food species:egg,wheat and milk ranked the most frequently intolerance food.The food intolerance rates in remission,mild activity and moderate to severe activity groups were 9/16,11/18,12/13,there were significantly different,x2=7.418,P＜0.05.Extraintestinal manifestation group had significantly higher food intolerance rate compareed to non extraintestinal manifestation group:1 1/13 vs.55.88％(19/34),x2=2.234,P＜0.05.No significant difference of food intolerance rate were showed among groups categorized according to sex,age,body mass index,site of lesion,P＞0.05.Conclusions UC patients show higher food intolerance rate than healthy people.UC disease activity and extraintestinal manifestations are correlated to food intolerance,which is of great significance to guide diet related nursing of UC patient.
