Objective To study the role of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) ,supplement C3 and CA in sys-temic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) induced by acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods The levels of CRP,C3 and CA were measured by automatic immunoturbidimetry in 52 ACI cases accompanied with SIRS (SIRS group) ,50 cases of acute simple cerebral infarction(SACI group) and 46 normal cases (control group).Results The serum CRP, C3 ,and CA levels were significantly different among the three groups( F=720.6,580.8,94.1 ,P <0.01) ,the serum CRP levels in SIRS group were significantly higher than those in SACI group(P <0.01 ).The ser-um C3 and CA levels in SIRS were significantly lower than those in SACI group(P <0.01).With the diagnosis crite-rion items increasing, the serum CRP levels tended to be higher (t = 7.69 ,P < 0.01 ), and the serum C3, CA levels tended to be lower meeting SIRS diagnosis criterion numbers increasing respectively (t=10.68 and 10.53, P <0.01).Conclusion The serum ClIP levels are higher significantly and the serum levels of C3 and C4 are lower sig-nificantly when ACI progresses to SIRS.The serum CRP,C3,CA level changes can be used as an index for judging the progress of ACI progressed to SIRS.

Objective To observe the effect of medicine-induced posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).Methods.PVR was induced in the left eyes of 24 pigmented rabbits by intravitreal injection with platelet rich plasma.The rabbits were randomly divided into two experimental groups (group A and B) and one control group with 8 eyes in each group.Three hours later,the eyes in group A and B and the control group underwent intravireal injection with 1 U plasmin 0.05 ml+ 20 U hyaluronidase 0.05 ml,plasmin 0.1 ml,and balance salt solution 0.1 ml,respectively.The grade of PVR was recorded 1,7,and 28 days after the intravitreal injection,and the eyes were examined by flash electroretinogram (FERG),B-scan,and retinal histopathological examination.Results The PVR models of rabbit eyes were induced successfully.On the 7th day after injection,complete and partial PVD was found in 5 and 3 eyes respectively in group A;partial PVD in 5 eyes and no complete PVD was observed in group B;there was no PVD in the other 3 eyes in group B and also in the eyes in the control group.On the 28th day after intravitreal injection,PVR grade of group A and B were both obviously lower than that of the control group(D= 75.6,98.9;P = 0.003,P = 0.011) ;On the 7th and 28th day after injection,the b-wave amplitude in group A and B was significantly higher than that in the control group;PVR grade of the PVD eyes was lower than that of non-PVD eyes;PVR grade of the complete PVD eyes was only 0 ～ 1.Conclusions Three hours after the PVR models of rabbit eyes were induced,complete PVD induced by intravitreal injection of plasmin combined with hyaluronidase could prevent the development of PVR of rabbit eyes in some degree;partial PVD induced by plasmin alone or combined with hyaluronidase could relieve the development of PVR.

Objective To investigate the levels of CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells and the Foxp3 in the peripheral blood of patients with ulcerative colitis ( UC), and analyze its role in the pathogenesis of UC. Methods From February 2007 to December 2008, 40 UC patients (23 active and 17 remissive), 33 irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients, and 32 normal controls entered our study. CD4 + CD25 + T cells were detected with flow cytometric assay. The expression of Foxp3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) was detected by RTPCR. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the serum from the peripheral blood of UC patients, IBS patients, and normal controls were determined with ELISA. Results There were no significant differences of the peripheral CD4 +T cell numbers among the active, remissive UC and IBS patients, and normal control groups (P=0. 126). The positive rate of CD4+ CD25+ T cells in patients with active and remissive UC were significantly lower than those in IBS patients and normal controls ( both P ＜ 0. 01 ) it was more lower in the active UC patients than the remissive UC patients ( P ＜ 0. 001 ). However, the positive rate of CD4 + CD25 + T cells showed no significant difference between IBS patients and normal control groups ( P = 0. 343 ). The percentage of CD4 + CD25 + T cells was negatively correlated with UC disease activity index ( r = - 0. 660, P ＜ 0. 001 ) and with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r = -0. 572, P =0. 001 ). The expressions of Foxp3 mRNA in PBMC from active and remissive UC patients were significantly lower than those in both IBS patients and normal controls ( both P ＜0. 001 ). There was no significant difference of the plasma levels of IL-10 or TGF-β among the active/remissive UC patients, IBS patients, and normal controls ( all P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions CD4+ CD25 + regulatory T cells remarkably decline in the active UC and show certain increase in remissive UC, indicating that these cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of UC. The decreased expression of Foxp3 mRNA may be an important factor of the aberrant developmental disorder of CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells.
