Objective To investigate the effect of growth hormone replacement therapy on life quality of patients with growth hormone deficiency after sellar tumor surgery.Methods The data of 13 patients undergoing sellar tumor resection and suffering postoperative hypopituitarism from Jun.2009 to Dec.2010.were collected.Each of them was given daily 0.5 units growth hormone (about 0.17 mg) as replacement therapy.The life quality of patients at different time points was evaluated with QoL-GDHA scale.SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results 1,3,and 6 months after treatment,QoL-GDHA score of the patients was 3.91± 2.29,3.38 + 2.43,and 3.23 + 2.28 repectively,significantly lower than before ( 8.69 ± 2.66).The difference had statistical significance (P <0.05 ).Conclusion Growth hormone replacement therapy can significantly improve the life quality of patients with hypopituitarism after sellar tumor surgery.

Objective To investigate the expression of ALKBH3-AS1 in peripheral blood CD4+T cells of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)and its correlation with T helper cell 17/regulatory T cells(Th17/Treg)and disease activity.Methods A total of 60 patients diagnosed with SLE in Leshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from July 2020 to March 2024 were retrospectively collected.According to SLEDAI score,they were divided into active group(n=33,SLEDAI ≥ 10 score)and stable group(n=27,SLEDAI<10 score).At the same time,52 healthy subjects were selected as control group.The general data of three groups were collected and peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC)was obtained by centrifugation in peripheral blood.CD4+T cells were isolated by immunomagnetic beads,and Th17/Treg ratio was detected by flow cytometry.The relative expression levels of ALKBH3-AS1 and retinoid-related orphan receptor γ t(ROR γ t)in CD4+T cells were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The contents of transforming growth factor(TGF)-β and interleukin(IL)-17 in serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The levels of C3 and C4 were determined by rate scattering immunoturbidimetry.Pearson analyzed the correlation between ALKBH3-AS1,Th17 and various clinical indicators in SLE patients.Logistic regression analysis of the influencing factors in patients with severe SLE showed that the difference was statistically significant.Results Hb,ALB,ALKBH3-AS1 mRNA,CD4+T,complement C3 and C4 in the control group were significantly higher than those in SLE group(t/Z=3.245,-11.169,-12.675,-17.829,-15.240,-19.212),RDW,TGF-β,RORγ t,Th17/Treg,IL-17,and CRP in the control group were lower than that in SLE group(t/Z=4.206,10.054,19.869,37.942,50.463,3.115),and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).ALB,ALKBH3-AS1 mRNA,CD4+T in the active group were significantly lower than those in the stable group(t/Z=-8.918,-2.483,-11.694),CRP,TGF-β,RORγt,Th17/Treg,and IL-17 were significantly higher than those in the stable group(t/Z=3.121,5.671,1.787,14.720,12.044),and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Pearson analysis showed that ALKBH3-AS1 was positively correlated with CD4+T(r=0.663),and negatively correlated with Th17/Treg,IL-17,TGF-β,ROR γ t,SLED AIindex(r=-0.687,-0.715,-0.705,-0.678,-0.671),Th17/Treg was negatively correlated with CD4+T(r=-0.817),and positively correlated with IL-17,TGF-β,ROR γ t,SLED AI index with statistical significance(r=0.687,0.767,0.598,0.704).Logistics regression analysis,showed that increased CD4+T[OR(95%CI):0.715(0.304~0.904)]proportion and up-regulated ALKBH3-AS1[OR(95%CI):0.654(0.320~0.987)]expression were protective factors affecting disease activity in SLE patients.The contents of TGF-β[OR(95%CI):1.487(1.120~1.814)]and IL-17[OR(95%CI):1.294(1.217~1.887)]were up-regulated,the proportion of Th17/Treg[OR(95%)CI:1.674(1.361~1.679)]was up-regulated,and the relative expression of ROR γ t[OR(95%)CI:1.547(1.252~1.941)]was increased as risk factors affecting disease activity in SLE patients.Conclusion The down-regulated expression of ALKBH3-AS1 and up-regulated expression of TGF-β,ROR γ t and IL-17 in CD4+T cells of SLE patients are all correlated with disease activity,and can be potential biomarkers for diagnosis,disease activity and efficacy evaluation in SLE patients.

Objective To discuss the clinical results and surgical method in treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia. Methods From January 2007 to June 2013, the use of surgery treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia under direct vision assisted by the deep cold light suction in 104 cases,all the cases were done through lateral fissure-brain island approach,removing the hematoma with bipolar coagulation and hemostasis at sametime. This paper analyzed the group of patients with surgical methods and clinical efficacy. Results CT scan of intreatment group showed that there were 6 cases of secondary operation because of recurrent hemorrhage, and the hematoma-cleared rate>80% in 73 cases,50%-80% in 21 cases,<50% in 10 cases before operation within 6 hours. According to ADL classification,the 92 cases were alive after operation, good recovery in 65 cases, moderate disability in 22 cases, 5 cases of severe disability, death and give up treatment 12 cases. There was 12 cases of sec-ondary operation because of recurrent hemorrhage in control group, and the hematoma-cleared rate>80% in 16 cases,50%-80%in 23 cases,<50%in 24 cases before operation within 6 hours. According to ADL classification,the 45 cases were alive after operation in control group, good recovery in 14 cases,moderate disability in 16 cases,15 cases of se-vere disability,death and give up treatment 18 cases. There were significant differences between the two groups in op-eration time, intra-operative blood loss, the volume of blood transfusion, hematoma clearance rate, postoperative sur-vival rate and the survival quality ADL grading at half a year, and the indexes mentioned above in treatment group were better than those in control group. Conclusion Surgery treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia under direct vision by lateral fissure-brain island approach assisted by the deep cold light suction will shooter the operation time and lower the surgical injury,increase hematoma-cleared rate,it aslo has reliable hemostasis and more effective,so this method is worthy of clinical use.

Objective To investigate the chemical composition from the flowers of Callerya speciosa,and reveal the metabolites difference at different flowering periods based on metabolomics technology.Methods The primary and secondary metabolites,volatile chemical components in flowers of C.speciosa were analyzed combined by GC-MS and UPLC-Q-Exactive MS.Principal component analysis(PCA),orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA),and hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA)were performed to identify differential metabolites.Results A total of 332 compounds were identified by UPLC-Q-Exactive MS,mainly including secondary metabolites such as flavonoids,triterpenoids,phenylpropanoids.A total of 297 compounds were identified by GC-MS,mainly including primary metabolites and volatile chemical components,such as organic acids,amino acids,saccharides,heterocycles,alcohols.The PCA analysis demonstrated that the metabolites of the four flowering periods were divided into two groups:bud,initial bloom and blooming periods clustered into one group,while wilting period clustered into the other group,the main differences were filtered and identified as flavonoids and triterpenoids,organic acids,respectively.Compared to the upright type,the flowers of vine type contained more characteristic flavonoids as differential metabolites during the bud,initial bloom and blooming periods,and some flavonoids decrease gradually with the development of flowering.Conclusion The results indicated that the flowers of C.speciosa possessed abundant active flavonoid metabolites for further utilization,and the best harvest stage is initial bloom,the best harvest plant is vine type.This study provides a scientific basis for the scientific development and rational use of the flowers of C.speciosa.
