Objective: To analyze clinical features and prognosis of more than 75-year old patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) through comparing with heart failure（HF）and reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), and provide reference for prevention and treatment of HFPEF. Methods: A total of 134 > 75 years HF inpatients admitted from Jan 2009 to Dec 2011 were selected. With left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 50% as the critical point, patients were divided into HFPER group (n=63) and HFREF group (n=71). Clinical characteristics were compared between two groups. Clinical outcomes (all-cause death and rehospitalization caused by heart failure) were compared between two groups after follow up. Results: (1) Clinical features: compared with HFREF group, there were significant increase in LVEF [(36.46±6.84)% vs. (58.65±5.01)%], percentage of patients with hypertension (49.3% vs. 69.8%), left atrial diameter [(34.98±3.78) mm vs. (40.02±3.29) mm], and significant decrease in level of brain natriuretic peptide [BNP, (1005.62±458.99) pg/ml vs. (646.57±333.56) pg/ml], concentration of hemoglobin [(11.97±1.29) g/dl vs. (10.76±1.21) g/dl] and left ventricular diameter [(57.17±7.52) mm vs. (47.73±5.48) mm] in HFPEF group, P<0.01 all; (2) Patients were followed up for a mean 2.6 years. There were no significant difference in all-cause mortalities（17.5% vs. 19.7%）and mean time without heart failure event (286 d vs. 258 d) between HFPEF group and HFREF group. Conclusion: Compared with HF patients with reduced ejection fraction, hypertension and anemia are more frequent in HF patients with preserved ejection fraction, but there is no significant difference in clinical outcomes between them.

Objective To establish a method of cultivation of dendritic cells (DC) from mouse bone marrow in vitro and identify their phenotype and function. Methods Under aseptic condition, bone marrow cells were extracted from the tibia and femur bones of BALB/c mice. Bone marrow cells were cultured with recombinant mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor ( rmGM-CSF) in vitro. The expansion and morphological changes of DC were observed with light inverted microscope. Phenotype was identified with flow cytometry and biological function was studied with antigen phagocytosis test. Results A large number of immature and mature DC with typical dendritic morphological characteristics could be generated from murine bone marrow. Immature DC, which had high expression in CD11c and low expression in CD40, MHC-II and CD86, could phagocytize antigen. Mature DC, which could be induced from immature DC by lipopolysaccharides, had high expression in CD11c, CD40, CD86 and MHC-II molecules. Conclusion Immature and mature DC can be generated from mouse bone marrow cells through cytokine induction in vitro and be used for further study associated with DC.

Objective:To observe the effect of Notch signal inhibitor DAPT (γ-secretase inhibitor ) on the pathological changes of atherosclerosis mice and the immune balance of Treg/Th17.Methods:24 ApoE knockout C57BL mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group and DAPT group.The blank group were fed with normal diet ,the model group and the experimental group were fed with high fat diet.After 5 weeks of feeding,the mice in the experimental group were injected with DAPT [100 mg/(kg· d),re-suspended in DMSO],and the other two groups were injected with the equivalent amount of DMSO .After another 5 weeks,pathological changes of the mice in each group were analyzed by HE staining .ELISA was used to detect the level of IL-17 in plasma,and the propor-tion of splenic Treg/Th17 cells in each group was detected by flow cytometry .Results:HE staining results showed that the model group had obvious plaque formation and foam cell formation ,which showed that the AS model was successfully prepared .The degree of arterial disease in the DAPT group was significantly less than that in the model group .The plasma levels of IL-17 in the blank group , model group and DAPT group were(293.94±28.59),(454.05±172.68) and (335.40±89.57) pg/ml,respectively .The percentages of Treg cells in the blank group,model group and DAPT group were(3.80±0.56)%,(2.54±0.38)%and(4.73±0.64)%,respective-ly.The Th17 cell subsets of mice in the blank group , model group and DAPT group were ( 3.46 ±0.23 )%, ( 4.52 ±0.85 )% and (1.38±0.37)%,respectively .Conclusion:DAPT decreased the plasma level of IL-17 in AS mice,inhibited the differentiation of Th17 cell subsets,and promoted the differentiation of Treg ,and reduced the atherosclerosis by changing the Treg/Th17 cells immune balance.

OJECTIVE To investigate the preventive effect of Fengliao extract on ulcerative colitis of mice. METHODS Using the intestinal propulsion rate experiment and senna induced diarrhea model , the intestinal propulsion rate, diarrhea rate and index of diarrhea were observed. Mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,mesalazine hydrochloride group and Fengliao extract 11.7, 23.4 and 46.8 g · kg-1 group. The mouse colitis model was induced by 4% dextran sulfate sodium. The mice were administraed once daily for 7 d while the disease activity index(DAI)score was calculated and the activity of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β), myeloperoxidase(MPO) and content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and nitric monoxide (NO) in colon tissue were determined. RESULTS Fengliao extract 46.8 g · kg-1 inhibited the intestinal propulsion rate(P<0.05),reduced the frequency of diarrhea and the diarrhea index(P<0.05). Results of colitis showed that the body mass of mice in the model group was significantly decreased but the DAI score increased compared with normal group(P<0.05). The activity of MPO and the contents of IL-1β,TNF-α,MDA and NO in colon mucosa were increased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group,Fengliao extract 46.8 g·kg-1 decreased the DAI score(P<0.05)while Fengliao extract 46.8 and 23.4 g · kg-1 reduced MPO activity in colonic mucosa and content of IL-1β,TNF-α,MDA and NO in colonic homogenate(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Fengliao extract can significantly improve the DSS induced colitis in mice,which is probably associated with its antispasmodic and anti-diarrheal effect as well as the reduced release of inflammatory mediators and antioxidants.
