Aim To investigate the effects of Shaoqiduogan(SQDG)on cellular immunity in mice with delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH). Methods DTH model induced by 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene(DNCB)and cyclophosphamide(Cy)suppressed and potentiated DTH model were used. SQDG(30, 60 and 120 mg ? kg-1)were given intragastrically(ig)once daily for 7 consecutive days. Concanavalin A(Con A)-induced T cells proliferation was measured by MTT assay. The activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of Con A-induced T cells proliferation was measured by testing its ability to support the proliferation of Con A stimulated thymocytes which was detected by MTT assay. Results In mice with DTH, SQDG(120 mg?kg-1)reduced ear swelling, thymus index, Con A-induced T cells proliferation and the activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of Con A-induced T cells proliferation. The suppression and potentiation of DTH in mice were induced by given an intraperitoneal(ip)injection of Cy at the dose of 150mg?kg-1 on primary sensitization day and 250 mg?kg-1 three days before primary sensitization. SQDG(60 and 120 mg?kg-1)upregulated ear swelling, Con A-induced T cells proliferation and the activity of IL-2 in culture supernatants of T cells from mice with Cy-suppressed DTH; and downregulated levels of the aforementioned indexes in mice with Cy-potentiated DTH. Conclusion SQDG possesses a dual modulatory effect on cellular immunity in mice.

Dengue is the most wide-spread arthropod-borne viral disease of humans in the tropic and sub-tropic regions.In this study,genomic sequences of more than 3 000 dengue viruses available in the GenBank were aligned and analyzed by sero type.According to phylogenetic trees generated by the minimum evolution method of MEGA5.0,dengue viruses were divided into 4-6 genotypes within the four serotypes,respectively.Meanwhile,it was indicated that the distribution of most genotypes was associated with geographic origins of dengue viruses.Probable origins for most of the 39 strains from China with genomic sequences were deduced from relevant ancestral strains in the context of ME trees.These results revealed that the genotype distribution of dengue viruses was geographic origin-specific at genomic level,and that diverse introduction sources were attributed to dengue outbreaks in China.

Objective To investigate the incidence of osteoporosis (OP) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and the relationship between OP and the clinical data. Methods Serum levels of bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP5b) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) in 60 cases with ankylosing spondylitis, and it was compared with normal controls. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured through dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry ( DXA), including lumbar ( L2 - L4), bilateral femoral neck and greater trochanter. Some clinical data was collected and analyzed at the same time. Results The incidence of OP in AS patients was 35%, and the incidence of OP in the femoral proximal end was higher than that in lumbar. Compared with normal controls[ ( 1.06 ±0. 18 )U/L ], the levels of serum TRACP5b in AS[ (1.31 ± 0. 82 )U/L] patients was significantly higher ( P <0. 05 ). The levels of serum BLAP in OP combined AS group[ ( 21.65 ± 5.41 ) U/L]were significantly lower than non-OP group[ (32. 37 ± 16. 5 ) U/L] ( P <0. 05 ). The disease duration was negatively correlated with the BMD of femoral neck ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions There was higher incidence of OP in AS patients, which were related with the abnormality of bone metabolism and the disease duration.Multiple factors participated in the regulation of bone metabolism of AS.
