Inflammation response is an important pathological process of neuronal cell death after stroke.Interleukin (IL)-33/ST2 system is involved in the inflammatory response process of ischemic stroke and has been proved to be a protective factor.This article reviews the role and mechanism of IL-33/ST2 system in the regulation of immune inflammation after ischemic stroke.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Zhenxin Anshen Prescription(composed of Os Draconis,Ostreae Concha,Lophatheri Herba,Drynariae Rhizoma,Poria)on mice with atopic dermatitis(AD)based on the calcium channel regulator 1(ORAI1)/nuclear factor of T-cells(NFAT)signalling axis.Methods Thirty-six BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a blank control group,a model group,a Cetirizine group(1.3 mg·kg-1)and a Zhenxin Anshen Prescription group(36.36 g·kg-1),with nine mice in each group.AD mouse model was established using 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene(DNCB)induction.The drug was administered by gavage once a day for 2 weeks.At the end of drug administration,the area of skin lesions was measured and the severity of skin lesions was scored;spleen mass was measured and spleen index was calculated;pathological changes of skin lesion tissues were observed by HE staining;interleukin 4(IL-4),IL-13 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin(TSLP)in serum were detected by ELISA;and the protein expression levels of ORAI1,calmodulin phosphatase A(CaN)and nuclear factor of T cells 2(NFAT2)were detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with the blank control group,the skin lesion score of mice in the model group was significantly increased(P<0.01),the skin lesion area was significantly enlarged(P<0.01);the thickness of the epidermis and dermis were significantly increased(P<0.01),hyperkeratosis of the epidermis,hypertrophy of the stratum spinosum,and infiltration of inflammatory cells such as eosinophils and lymphocytes can be seen in the dermis;the splenic index and serum IL-4,IL-13,TSLP levels were significantly increased(P<0.01);protein expression levels of CaN,NFAT2,ORAI1 were significantly increased in the skin lesion tissues(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the dermatitis score of mice in the Zhenxin Anshen Prescription group was significantly decreased(P<0.01),the lesion area was significantly reduced(P<0.01),the epidermal and dermal thicknesses(P<0.01),the hyperkeratosis of epidermis was alleviated,the spinous layer was slightly hypertrophic,and there was a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration in the dermis;the splenic index and the levels of serum IL-4,IL-13,and TSLP were significantly decreased(P<0.01);the protein expressions levels of CaN,NFAT2,and ORAI1 in the skin lesion tissues were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Conclusion Zhenxin Anshen Prescription can ameliorate dermatopathological injury in DNCB-induced AD mice,and the mechanism may be related to its ability to inhibit the protein expressions of ORAI1,CaN and NFAT2,reduce the levels of serum type 2 inflammatory factors TSLP,IL-4 and IL-13,and ameliorate cutaneous inflammation and itching through immunomodulation.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of sound touch elastography (STE) in the evaluation of the curative effect of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of stroke patients with upper limb spasm.Methods:Fifty-five patients with upper limb spasm after stroke were selected as stroke group, and thirty healthy volunteers matched with age, gender and body mass index (BMI) were selected as control group between September 2020 and March 2021. The shear wave velocity (SWV) of biceps brachii and triceps brachii were measured in both groups. In stroke group, the SWVs of biceps brachii and triceps brachii on spastic side and non-spastic side were measured before and after acupuncture treatment, and the correlations between SWV and spastic grade (X), muscle response angle (R1), passive range of motion (R2), spastic angle (R2-R1) of modified Tardieu scale (MTS) were analyzed.Results:At 0 degree, the SWV of spastic biceps brachii (3.85±0.62)m/s was significantly higher than those of the non-spastic side [(3.34±0.35)m/s] and control group [(3.15±2.66)m/s] (all P<0.001), and decreased [ (3.45±0.47)m/s] after acupuncture treatment ( P<0.001). At 90 degree, the SWV of non-spastic biceps brachii was larger than those of spastic side and control group [1.98(1.92, 2.14)m/s vs 1.98(1.92, 2.11) m/s, 1.95(1.86, 2.05)m/s, all P<0.05], and there was no significant difference between the SWV of spastic side and control group ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in SWV of triceps brachii between the spastic side and control group at both 0 degree or 90 degree ( P>0.05). At 0 degree, SWV positively correlated with MTS (x) ( rs=0.639, P<0.001) and negatively with R1 ( rs=-0.527, P<0.001) and R2 ( rs=-0.825, P<0.001) on the spastic biceps brachii. Conclusions:STE can provide quantitative index for the objective evaluation of the curative effect of acupuncture in upper limb spasm after stroke, and it is proposed to be an effective means of clinical diagnosis and efficacy evaluation in patients with upper limb spasm after stroke.

This paper introduces the technical features of hydrosurgery system and evaluates it from three aspects:safety and effectiveness, economy and technology maturity. The evaluation results show that the safety and effectiveness are high, and the safety mainly involves the misuse of the system, which cause the adverse events. A large number of literatures have proved that the system is more suitable for the debridement of fine parts. It is estimated that hydrosurgery system has better economic performance, but the cost and patients' cost is also increased correspondingly. In the aspect of technology maturity assessment, this technology is a patented technology, and the number of published papers both at home and abroad is on the rise, indicating that the initial application of the technology is better and the technology is in infancy stage. Therefore, hydrosurgery system has certain advantages in all aspects. Hospitals need to allocate the equipment according to their own needs and clinical application, while a wider range of clinical trials is needed to provide evidence-based evidence for clinical applications and promotion.
