Objective To study the induction of IL-6 on expression and activity of tissue factor (TF)in peripheral blood monocytes(PBMCs).Methods rhIL-6 100 ng/L and rhIL-6 100 ng/L+ rhIL-6 MoAb 10?g/L were used respectively to stimulate the PBMCs for 24 h,PBMCs without any stimulation as control group,to study the changes of antigen content,mRNA expression and the ac- tivity of the TF.Results The antigen content,mRNA expression and activity of TF were increased significantly in 100 ng/L rhIL-6 group as compared with rhIL-6 100 ng/L+rhIL-6 MoAb 10?g/L and control groups(P<0.01).Conclusions rhIL-6 can induce the increase of antigen expression,activity and mRNA expression in PBMCs,and these effects can be suppressed successfully by rhIL-6 MoAb. This study demonstrated that there was potential relations between cytokines and thrombogenesis, which may play an important role the pathogenesis of chronic rejection.
2.Therapeutic efficacy of moxibustion plus medicine in the treatment of infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome and its effect on serum immune inflammatory factors
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2020;18(4):269-275
Objective: To explore the effects and related mechanism of heat-sensitive moxibustion plus clomifene citrate capsules for infertility due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: A total of 70 patients were randomized into a control group and an observation group by the random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was treated with clomifene citrate capsules, while the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the medications in the control group. The treatment course lasted for 6 menstrual cycles. The endometrial thickness and ovarian volume of the patients were measured before and after treatment. The levels of serum sex hormones, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were detected. Follow-up was performed for 1 year after treatment, and the pregnancy rate was recorded. Results: After treatment, the endometrium of the patients in both groups was significantly thickened, the ovarian volume was significantly reduced, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The endometrium thickness and ovarian volume in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group (both P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum testostrn (T) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in both groups decreased significantly, the level of estradiol (E2) increased obviously, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The levels of serum T and LH in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the E2 level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the between-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of serum TNF-α and NF-κB of the patients in both groups decreased, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The levels of serum TNF-α and NF-κB in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After 1-year follow-up, the pregnancy rate was 20.0% in the control group, versus 51.5% in the observation group. The pregnancy rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of heat-sensitive moxibustion plus clomifene citrate capsules can increase the endometrium thickness, reduce the ovarian volume, improve the status of serum sex hormone disorders, and increase the conception rate in patients with infertility due to PCOS, which may be related to the adjustment of the levels of immune inflammatory factors such as serum TNF-α and NF-κB.

Objective To assess the quality of life(QOL)in patients with stroke at the acute stage,and to determine whether all the dimensions of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey(SF-36)are applicable to the stroke patients.Methods Fifty stroke patients at the acute stage were studied.The SF-36 was employed to assess the quality of life of the patients,and a self-designed questionnaire was used to record the general information of them.The data obtained from the patients was compared with the Chinese norm reported in literature. We also calculated the percentage of subjects who achieved the lowest possible score(score of 0,floor effect)and the percentage of subjects who achieved the highest possible score(score of 100,ceiling effect).Results The QOL of the acute stroke patients,as reflected by scores with all the dimensions of the SF-36 scale,was significantly reduced when compared with the norm data(P

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of chlorogenic acid in allergic rhinitis(AR) mice.Methods The model of AR mice was induced by intraperitoneal injection of adjuvant suspension on every other day for 7 times, and then by nasal drip of 10% OVA for 10 days.After administration with 50, 100, 200 mg/kg of chlorogenic acid for 30 min, AR mice were attacked locally for 10 days.Behavior analysis were observed and the effect of chlorogenic acid on the contents of cytokines, IgE and histamine by ELISA in AR mice were determined.Results Chlorogenic acid decreased the number of nose-scratching events in 10min, the weight of nosal draingage, the index of spleen, the content of IL-4 in nasal lavage fluid ( NLF) and the contents of cytokines, IgE and histamine in serum; while increased the index of thymus, the content of IFN-γin NLF, the contents of IFN-γin serum and the rate of IFN-γ/IL-4.The data showed a statistically significant up-regulation of IFN-γmRNA expressions and down-regulation of IL-4 mRNA, IL-5 mRNA, IL-10 mRNA expressions after adiminstration of chlorogenic acid.Conclusion Chlorogenic acid might exert the effect in AR mice through regulating the balance of Th1 and Th2.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the teaching quality of the course of Drug Abuse and ADR Moni-toring in pharmacy master degree candidates. METHODS:In Pharmacy College of Jilin University,traditional teaching method was adopted among pharmacy master degree candidates of grade 2014(n=30,control group);case teaching method was adopted for the course of Drug Abuse and ADR Monitoring among those of grade 2015 (n=32,observation group). The teaching effects were evaluated by questionnaire and examination. RESULTS:Theoretical examination result and case analysis score as well as the rate of excellent case analysis score in observation group were all significantly higher than control group,with statistical signifi-cance (P<0.05). The satisfaction degree of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group in respects of teaching methods,arousing interest in classroom learning,establishing the awareness of safe and rational drug use,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:For the course of Drug Abuse and ADR Monitoring in pharmacy master degree candi-dates,case teaching method improves students'exam results,stimulates students'interest and enthusiasm,promotes the establish-ment of students'safe and rational drug use consciousness and improves teaching quality.
