3. Therapeutic Effect of Hydrogen Sulfide on Esophageal Remodeling in Animal Model of Achalasia
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2019;24(12):716-720
Background: Achalasia is an esophageal motility disorder with unclear etiology. It is characterized by impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) caused by irreversible damage to the myenteric plexus of esophagus. Remodeling of lower esophageal smooth muscle has been observed in patients with achalasia. Aims: To investigate the effect of hydrogen sulfide on expression of esophageal remodeling biomarker in animal model of achalasia. Methods: The animal model of achalasia was established by administering benzyldimethyltetradecylammonium chloride (BAC) into the LES in BALB/c mice. Fifteen model mice (treatment group) were administered with sodium hydrosulfide, an exogenous hydrogen sulfide donor, intraperitoneally. The results of esophageal manometry, as well as the expressions of two esophageal remodeling biomarker (actin and elastin, determined by immunohistochemistry) were compared between model mice with or without hydrogen sulfide treatment and the blank control mice. Results: The mouse model of achalasia was established successfully. Compared with the blank control group, the LES pressure and expressions of actin and elastin were significantly increased in model group and treatment group (P<0.05), and the increase was less in treatment group than in model group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Remodeling of lower esophagus is existed in animal model of achalasia. Hydrogen sulfide can inhibit the esophageal remodeling, which provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of achalasia with hydrogen sulfide.

Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-151a-3p in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of children with lupus nephritis (LN) and its correlation with activity and vascular damage.Methods:A total of 87 children with LN admitted in Hainan Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 2016 to March 2019 were enrolled, including 16 cases of type Ⅱ, 14 cases of type Ⅲ, 34 cases of type Ⅳ, 17 cases of type Ⅴ and 6 cases of type Ⅵ.Besides, additional 40 children with normal physical examination were selected as the healthy control group.The 87 children with LN were divided into the LN stable group (31 cases) and LN active group (56 cases) by using systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) scores.According to different proportions of the medium membrane, the patients were classified into the mild group (25 cases), moderate group (34 cases) and severe group (28 cases). Real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression level of miR-151a-3p in PBMCs of each group.The correlation of the expression level of miR-151a-3p in PBMCs of LN children with the SLEDAI score and renal interstitial damage score was studied by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The expression levels of miR-151a-3p in the LN group, LN active group and LN stable group (0.47 ± 0.06, 0.30 ± 0.04, and 0.75±0.12, respectively) were significantly lower than that in the healthy control group (1.62±0.35) (all P<0.01), and the expression level of miR-151a-3p in the LN active group (0.30±0.04) was significantly lower than that in the LN stable group (0.75±0.12) ( P< 0.01). The SLEDAI score [(14.35±4.60) points vs.(8.25±2.24) points] and renal interstitial damage score [(52.70±6.30) points vs.(34.80±4.10) points] in the LN active group were significantly higher than those in the LN stable group (all P<0.01). The expression levels of miR-151a-3p (0.18±0.02, 0.41±0.05 vs.0.83±0.16) in type Ⅴ-Ⅵ and type Ⅳ groups were significantly lower than that in the type Ⅱ-Ⅲ group (all P<0.01). The SLEDAI scores [(16.50±5.28) points, (12.36±3.74) points vs.(6.40±1.70) points] and renal interstitial damage scores [(62.70±7.40) points, (47.20±5.80) points vs.(25.80±3.50) points] in type Ⅴ-Ⅵ and type Ⅳ groups were significantly higher than those in the type Ⅱ-Ⅲ group (all P< 0.01). The expression levels of miR-151a-3p (0.20±0.02, 0.39±0.04, 0.86±0.18 vs.1.62±0.35) in severe, moderate and mild groups were significantly lower than that in the healthy control group (all P<0.01), and the expression level of miR-151a-3p decreased with the aggravation of vascular damage.The SLEDAI scores [(15.20±5.10) points, (12.85±3.90) points vs.(6.70±1.82) points] and renal interstitial damage scores [(57.30±6.80) points, (51.60±6.30) points vs.(27.20±3.60) points] in the severe and moderate groups were significantly higher than those in the mild group (all P<0.01). The expression level of miR-151a-3p in LN children was negatively correlated with the SLEDAI score and renal interstitial damage score ( r=-0.682, -0.627, all P<0.001). Conclusions:The expression level of miR-151a-3p in PBMCs of LN children is significantly decreased.The declined miR-151a-3p level is closely related to disease activity and vascular damage, and may be involved in the occurrence and development of LN.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of ethanol extracts of Tadehagi triquetrum ( TTOE) on car-bon tetrachloride ( CCl4 )-induced acute liver injury in mice. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into six groups:normal control group ( NC group) ,model control group,bifendate dropping pill group,low-,medium-and high-dose TTOE groups. The liver injury model was established by administration of CCl4 in all the groups except the NC group.The indexes of the liver, spleen and thymus were obtained.The activities of serum ALT,AST,ALP,LDH, albumin and T-AOC were measured.The activi-ties of SOD and GSH-PX and the contents of MDA,NO and GSH and Cyt P450 were also detected in hepatic tissues. Results TTOE at different doses could obviously reduce the indexes of the liver,thymus and spleen,which were (57.13±0.71),(32.44± 0.24),and (27.78±0.16),respectively,in high-dose TTOE group,and there were significant differences between the TTOE groups and model control group (P<0.01).The activities of ALT,AST,ALP and LDH were obviously decreased in high-dose TTOE groups,which were (65.59±8.23),(141.38±15.52),(2 462.4±253.6),(172.51±20.64),respectively,in the TTOE high-dose group (P<0.01).The serum levels of Alb and T-AOC were obviously increased,the contents of NO and MDA significantly decreased and the activities of SOD and GSH-PX and the contents of GSH Cyt P450 in liver tissues profoundly increased in TTOE groups when compared with those in model control group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Conclusion TTOE could protect against acute hepatic injury induced by CCl4 in mice,which may be associated with the decrease in the activities of liver enzymes,anti-oxide free radical effect,decreased NO content and inhibited lipid peroxidation.

Objective: To investigate the variation of γδ T cells from healthy human peripheral blood(PB)and neonatus cord blood (CB)in proliferation and subtypes with isopentenyl pyrophosphate(IPP), and to acquire enough γδ T cells possessing distinct characteristics for experimental study.Methods: Mononuclear-cells from peripheral blood and cord blood induced by IPP were stained separately with monoclonal antibodies,which were fluorescein-labeled,and then used for assaying the expressing condition of surfaco molecules,as well as to evaluate the variation of γδ T cells on the percentage, subtypes and pbenotypes by FCM.Results:γδ T cells only account for a small proportion in both PB and CB.However,there was a significant difference in the heterogeneity between peripheral blood and cord blood γδ T cells.Vγ9Vδ2 T cells were dominant in peripheral blood γδ T cells.Most of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in fresh isolated PBMC were central memory-type(CD27~+ CD45RA~-)and effector memory-type(CD27~-CD45RA~-)with IPP, PB γδ T cells proliferated strongly;The effector memory-typo(CD27~-CD45RA~-)turned into the main subtype in all Vγ9Vδ2 T cells,and HLA-DR and B7 molecules were highly expressed on the populations.But the cord blood γδ T cells showed rather complex subgroup heterogeneity,and Vγ9Vδ2 T cells were almost na(i)ve-type(CD27~+ CD45RA~+); Though γδ T cells were expanded(the percent of γδ T cells was increased),and Vγ9Vδ2 T cells were differentiated towards central memory-type and effector memory-type on day 14 with IPP,most of γδ T celLs still remained in the phase of na(i)ve-type(CD27~+ CD45RA~+).Conclusion:Tbere lies great differences of γδ T cells in quantity and subtypes between healthy person peripheral blood and neonatus cord blood.Peripheral blood γδ T cells can be activated and proliferated with IPP, while cord blood γδ T cells have the potential to deferentiate into director memory-type which can be used for experimental and clinical study with the synergy of corresponding cytokines.The immuno-regulation and effector function will be reported in other papers.

Objective:To explore the association between interleukin(IL)-28B single nucleotide polymorphisms and natural outcome of hepatitis C virus.Methods:The IL-28B rs12979860 locus was genotyped in 266 HCV infected volunteer blood donors(107 spontaneous cleared and 159 chronic infection) and 97 healthy controls using Sanger sequencing assay.The difference in rs12979860 genotypes and allele frequencies between the six groups(107 spontaneous cleared and 159 chronic infection,266 HCV infection and 97 healthy controls,159 chronic infection and 97 healthy controls) were analyzed by statistics.Results:159 HCV chronic infection,107 spontaneous cleared and 97 healthy controls,were shown more CC genotype,accounting for 83.6%,95.3%and 86.6%,respectively, while the CT genotype accounted for 16.4%,4.7%and 13.4%respectively.No TT genotype was found.The CC/CT genotype was not significant difference between HCV infection and healthy controls,chronic infection and healthy controls(χ2=0.204,P=0.652;χ2=0.406,P=0.524),but between chronic infections and spontaneous clearance had statistically significant(χ2=8.474,P=0.004),the frequence of C allele in spontaneous cleared was higher than HCV chronic infection(χ2=7.949,P=0.005).Conclusion: The gene polymorphism of IL-28B rs12979860 is not related to HCV susceptibility,but there are differences in chronic infection and spontaneous cleared,showing the C allelic in favor of HCV spontaneous cleaed.
9.Advances in Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia immune mechanism
International Journal of Pediatrics 2019;46(4):231-234
Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection with respiratory tract infection with pneumonia.Recently,the incidence of MPP has been increasing year by year,and the age of onset has an earlier trend.It is easy to recur after the infection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP).The MP not only can cause respiratory disease,but also cause a wide range of extrapulmonary manifestations.Part of patients have rapid progression of disease and severe illness.Nowadays,the pathogenesis of MPP is not yet completely clear.It may be related to the direct adhesion and invasion of MP in the respiratory epithelium,toxic injury,and immunological mechanism.At present,a large number of studies have confirmed that the immune disorder and immune imbalance play a vital role in the development of MPP.This article reviews the latest research on the immunological mechanisms associated with Mycoplasma pneumonia.
