Objective:To investigate the effect of IL-35 on inflammatory response and T cell response in allergic rhinitis.Methods: 37 patients(observation group) with allergic rhinitis and 35 healthy volunteers(control group) after allergen detection of allergic rhinitisin in our hospital from Jan 2012 to Jan 2016 were selected as study subjects.The peripheral blood of observation group and control group were collected,and the serum levels of IL-35 were detected by ELISA.The animal model of allergic rhinitis in mice was established,the peripheral blood of mice was collected,and the serum level of IL-35 and IgE were detected by ELISA.The eosinophils that infiltrated in nasal mucosa were detected after tissue biopsy in mice.The mouse spleen cells were isolated and the ovalbumin antigen was added in the culture medium,IL-35 was or was not added into the culture medium,the ovalbumin specific T cell responses was detected.The cytokines IL-2,IL-4,IL-5,IL-10,IL-13,IL-17,IL-23,IL-27 and TNF-α in culture supernatant of ovalbumin specific T cells were detected by ELISA.The expression of IL-2,IL-4,IL-5,IL-10,IL-13,IL-17,IL-23,IL-27 and TNF-α in ovalbumin specific T cells were detected by Real-time PCR.The activation of JNK,Erk1/2 and p38 signal pathway in ovalbumin specific T cells were detected by Western blot.Results: The serum level of IL-35 in observation group was significantly lower than control group(P<0.05).The results showed that the number of eosinophils which infiltrated in AR mice nasal mucosa was significantly higher than normal mice(P<0.05),while the serum level of IL-35 in AR mice was significantly lower than normal mice(P<0.05).Ovalbumin specific T cell reactivity assay showed that IL-35 could significantly inhibit the T cell response.ELISA and Real-time PCR results showed that IL-35 could significantly down regulate the expression of IL-4,IL-5,IL-13,IL-17,IL-23 and TNF-α,and up regulate the expression of IL-2,IL-10 and IL-27.The Western blot results showed that IL-35 can inhibit the activation of JNK,Erk1/2 and p38 signal pathway of ovalbumin specific T in cells.Conclusion: IL-35 can regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines in inflammatory response and inhibit T cell response,thus reducing allergic rhinitis,the mechanism may be through regulation of JNK,Erk1/2 and p38 signal pathway activation.

Eleven C21 steroids were isolated from chloroform extract of roots of Cynanchum otophyllumby silica gel, MCI, ODS columns, and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic data analysis as otophylloside B(1), caudatin-3-O-beta-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-cymaropyranoside (2), caudatin-3-O-beta-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-cymaropyranoside (3), caudatin-3-O-beta-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-digitoxopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-cymaropyranoside (4), otophylloside O (5), gagamine-3-O-beta-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-cymaropyranoside (6), sinomarinoside B (7), mucronatosides C (8), wallicoside J (9), stephanoside H (10), and qinyangshengenin-3-O-beta-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-digitoxopyranoside (11). Among them, compounds 2-3, and 6-11 were separated from the roots of this plant for the first time.

short peptide AS1 screened from the phage random peptide library of 12 amino acids has antigenicity and can react with sera of AS patients. These findings indicate that AS1 could be one of candidate molecules of AS-specific serum markers.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum homocysteine (HCY) and chronic heart failure (CHF) hypercoagulable state in patients.Methods A total of 105 cases of patients with CHF was divided into three groups according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification standard functions:heart functional grade Ⅱ group (42cases),cardiac function grade Ⅲ group (35 cases) and,NYHA class Ⅳ group (28cases).At the same time,40 healthy individuals were regard as the control group.HCY,fibrinogen (Fbg),D-dimer (DDI),HCY,N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were detected by fasting venous blood samples which were collected within 24 hours after admission.Results Compared to the control group,the expression of Fbg,DDI,HCY and NT-proBNP increased,whereas,antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) was reduced.Fbg,DDI,HCY,NT-proBNP,and AT-Ⅲ were found in all patient cases.Four groups were compared with each other,except for cardiac function Ⅱ group and the normal group had no significant difference between them (P > 0.05),the difference between both other groups was significantly different (P < 0.05),HCY had a positive correlation with Fbg,DDI,and NT-proBNP (r =0.268,0.295,and 0.404,P < 0.05),and negative correlation with AT-Ⅲ (r =-0.240,P < 0.05).Conclusions HCY might be a reliable indicator as a judge of CHF patients with hypercoagulable state,to detect HCY,FBG,DDI,and AT-Ⅲ in CHF patients.It benefits for judging thrombosis risk and determining the severity of the diseases.Anticoagulant therapy might be beneficial to reduce the long-term adverse events.

Objective To explore the influence of obstruction sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on plasma cystatin C (CC) levels in patients with primary hypertension.Methods A total of 244 cases of primary hypertension patients was chosen.The patients were divided into observation group (with OSAS) and control group (without OSAS) according to apnea hypopnea index (AHI).The observation group was then divided into three subgroups:mild OSAS group,moderate OSAS group,and severe OSAS group.The levels of CC were compared.Results First,the plasma CC levels in patients with primary hypertension had no statistical significance in the differences among different grades of hypertension (P > 0.05).Second,CC levels of observation group were significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05).Third,CC levels of the severe group were higher than the moderate group,and the plasma CC levels of the moderate group were also higher than the mild group and control group.Rank correlation analysis and comparison of CC levels and AHI showed that CC levels were positively correlated with AHI (r =0.585,P < 0.01).However,there were no statistically significant differences between CC levels of the mild OSAS group and control group (P > 0.05).Conclusions The patients with OSAS and primary hypertension had higher levels of CC,and aggravated with the progress of the degree of obstruction.CC may be involved in the progression of the disease,a high level of CC may aggravate the condition,it should be early prevention and treatment.

Objective:To conduct a systematic review and Meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of Apatinib and tegafur in colonic cancer.Methods:With "Apatinib" "Tegafur" "Colonic cancer" as keywords, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, VIP, CNKI and CBM were searched from inception to December 2020 to collect randomized controlled trail about treatment for colonic cancer with Apatinib and Tegafur. Evaluated the portion remission and stable duration and progression-free survival. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:Meta-analysis showed that in colonic cancer patients, the portion remission and stable duration, tumor progression of Apatinib were not inferior to those of Tegafur ( RR=1.10, 95% CI: 0.71-1.71, P=0.640; RR=0.51, 95% CI: 0.28-1.32, P=0.205). But for progression-free survival, Apatinib was superior to Tegafur in overall patients( SMD=0.90, 95% CI: 0.42-1.37, P<0.000 1). Conclusion:In the treatment of colon cancer, compared with Tegafur, Apatinib can effectively improve the progression-free survival and has better overall survival.
