Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(45):7968-7974
BACKGROUND:Systemic lupus erythematosus is a complex autoimmune disease of unknown origin affecting virtual y every organ in the human body. It is characterized by abnormal activation of T, B lymphocytes. While aberrant T cells provide help to autoreactive B cells, the autoreactive B cells produce a variety of pathological autoantibodies and immune complex deposition, which could infiltrate the smal blood vessels directly or deposit in the vessel wal , thereby causing inflammatory necrosis of the vessel wal s. These changes wil narrow the vascular lumen, and promote thrombosis, leading to local tissue ischemia and dysfunction. Mesenchymal stem cells can regulate the immune disorders, play an anti-inflammatory role, and repair the immune thrombosis.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the pathogenesis of immune thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus, as wel as to introduce the mechanism of mesenchymal stem celltherapy for immunity thrombosis.
METHODS:We searched the PubMed database, Springlink database, ScienceDirect database and HighWire database from January 1990 to June 2013 with the key words of“systemic lupus erythematosus, mesenchymal stem cell, thrombosis, T cells, B cells”in English. An online search of CNKI database, Wanfang database, VIP database from January 1990 to June 2013 was also conducted with the key words of“systemic lupus erythematosus, mesenchymal stem cell, thrombosis, T cells, B cells”in Chinese. A total of 267 literatures were screened out, and 48 documents were included in the review based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotential nonhematopoietic progenitor cells capable of multi-directional differentiating into various celltypes. Mesenchymal stem cells can suppress T-lymphocyte activation and proliferation, and inhibit secretion of interferon-γ, interleukin-4. Mesenchymal stem cells can also inhibit the proliferation of B cells and the secretion of pathogenic immunoglobulin IgM, IgG, IgA. Thus, mesenchymal stem cells can regulate immune homeostasis and reduce the deposition of autoantibodies and immune complexes, thereby protecting the blood vessels from injury, reducing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines, balancing the coagulation-anticoagulation, and decreasing thrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Objective To observe effect of scalp acupuncture combined with cognitive rehabilitation training in ameliorating cognitive dysfunction in stroke patients. Methods Eighty-four stroke patients with cognitive dysfunction were randomly divided into a treatment group ( n = 42) and a control group (n = 42 ) . All of the patients in both groups received routine therapy including cognitive rehabilitation training by professional therapists aimed at improving their orientation, perception, attention and thinking. The patients in the treatment group also received prolonged scalp acupuncture, in which the acupuncture needle remained in the scalp for 6 hours. All cases were evaluated using Loewenstein's occupational therapy cognition assessment (LOTCA) before and 10 weeks after treatment. Results The LOTCA scores were significantly different before and after treatment in both groups. The effect in the treatment group was significantly better than in the control group. Conclusions Prolonged scalp acupuncture combined with cognitive rehabilitation training can significantly improve the cognitive ability of stroke patients.

ObjectiveBy exploring the volatile components, polysaccharide composition and changes in the contents of five carbohydrate components of Polygonatum cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing, and then the effect of yellow rice wine on the odour formation of P. cyrtonema rhizoma was investigated. MethodThe volatile components of P. cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing were detected by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS), and sample data were subjected to principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) using SIMCA 14.1, then the differences between these components of P. cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing were screened according to the principle of variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1. Crude carbohydrate components in raw and wine-processed P. cyrtonema rhizoma were subjected to oxime and silylation, the carbohydrate components were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS/MS), and the relative contents of various components were calculated by peak area normalization, then quantitative analysis of four carbohydrate components was also carried out. ResultA total of 23 volatile components were identified from the raw products and the wine-processed products, including 15 components in raw products and 20 components in wine-processed products. Among them, 2-methylbutyraldehyde and isovaleraldehyde had a sweet odor and their contents increased after processing, but the contents of hexanal and caproic acid decreased, new components such as 2-acetylfuran and 5-methylfuranal were produced after processing. PCA and OPLS-DA results showed that there were significant differences between raw products and the wine-processed products, a total of 13 differential compounds were screened out, of which 7 showed an upward trend in relative content and 6 showed a downward trend. A total of 7 carbohydrate components, including 5 monosaccharides and 2 disaccharides, were identified in raw products and the wine-processed products. The results of determination showed that the contents of fructose, glucose, mannose and sucrose in P. cyrtonema rhizoma increased after wine-processing, and their increases were 4.54, 1.51, 2.93, 3.66 times, respectively. ConclusionAfter processing, the increase of aromatic flavor of P. cyrtonema rhizoma may be related to the increase of the contents of aldehydes such as 2-methylbutyraldehyde and isovaleraldehyde, while the decrease of raw flavor may be related to the decrease of the contents of volatile components such as hexanal and hexanoic acid, the increase of sweet flavor may be related to the increase of the contents of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides such as fructose and sucrose.
