OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of triptolide(TP)on the proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA)in vitro. METHODS:5 RA patients received knee arthroplasty or synovectomy to ob-tain synovial tissue. FLS was isolated,cultured and identified,and then incubated in the presence of TP [0 (blank control),50, 100 and 200 nmol/ml] for 24,48 and 72 h. The effects of TP on FLS was evaluated by MTT,and then proliferation inhibitory rate was calculated;flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis and cell cycle of FLS. RESULTS:The inhibitory rates of TP(50, 100 and 200 nmol/ml)on the proliferation of FLS were 17.46%-52.56%,which was positively correlated with drug concentration. Compared with blank control group,100 and 200 nmol/ml TP could increase the percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase and decrease the percentage of cells in S phase,with statistical significance(P<0.05);200 nmol/ml TP could induce cell apoptosis. CONCLU-SIONS:TP could inhibit the proliferation and also could induce the apoptosis of FLS in RA patients in vitro,which may be one of its mechanism for treating RA.

Summarizing the literature of syndrome differentiation and treatment of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in recent five years,to investigate the realization and the laws of prescribing in this disease from the perspective of selecting drugs and forming formulas of TCM. This article summarized the characteristics of formula selection in treating ALD,and summed up the treatment principle of ALD and the realization of main syndrome by the principle of 'learning syndrome from formula','correspondence of syndrome with for mula'. The results showed that promoting blood circulation for removing blood stasis,tonifying consumption,promoting diuresis and percolating dampness were the main principle of prevention and treatment of ALD in recent years,and blood stasis,qi asthenia and phlegmatic hygrosis were the major pathogenesis of ALD. According to studying the literature of TCM,it was can be seen that the present treatment of ALD was still in the exploratory stage of clinical observation,it lacked multi-center,randomized and control prospective study of large sample,and judgment of curative effect were disunity,and objective evaluation criteria was lacked. These questions were worth further exploration.

Objective:To evaluate angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma(AITL) completely, we gave in-depth investigation of histopathological features, specific immunochemical markers, antigen receptor gene rearrangements and in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Methods: 15 cases of typical AITL displayed effacement of the normal lymph node architecture partially or completely, abundance of arborizing high endothelial vessels, infiltration of polymorphic cells and hyperplastic atypical T lymphocytes with or without clear cytoplasm. Clinical characteristics, histological manifestations, and immunohistochemical staining for CD3, CD20, CD4,CD21, CXCL13, CD10, and BCL6 were analyzed. Polymerase chain reaction for immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and T cell receptor ? (TCR?) rearrangements and in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNA (EBER-1) were performed.Results: Histologically, we found eight cases with regressed lymphoid follicles, six with absence of follicles and one with hyperplastic follicles with interfollicular lesions. We also found eight cases displaying aggregation of clear cells, four infiltration of large lymphoid cells, five abundant epithelioid histiocytes. CD20 staining showed hyperplasia of large B cells in four cases. CD21 expression exihibited extrafollicular expansion of follicular dendritic cell meshworks in 11 cases (73.3%), partially with a tendency of perivascular distribution. Positive rate for CXCL13 and CD10 are 73.3% and 6.7% respectively. Monoclonal rearrangements of TCR? were detected in 6/15 (40%) of cases, IgH rearrangements in 7/15 (46.7%), of which five were monoclonal, while two oligoclonal. 8 out of 15 cases (53.3%) contained EBV-positive cells. Among the four cases with large B cell proliferation, three were EBV-positive. Conclusion: AITL display great complexity and diversity clinicopathologically. Only when we recognize such diversity, can we reasonably apply and properly evaluate immunochemical markers and molecular techniques, and thus give a correct diagnosis.
