Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of butyl phthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods: Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, SCI, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases were searched from the building time to May 2016. The enrolled randomized controlled trails were studied by using Cochrane system evaluation methods to perform methodological quality assessment, and RevMan 5. 2 software was used to carry out Me-ta-analysis. Results:A total of 7 randomized controlled trails including 640 patients were enrolled. The results of Meta-analysis dem-onstrated that the effective rate of butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection was superior to that of Xueshuantong injection (RR=1. 33, 95%CI:1. 16-1. 52, P<0. 0001), butylphthalide (RR=1. 45, 95%CI:1. 15-1. 83, P=0. 002) and blank control (RR=1. 31, 95%CI:1. 08-1. 57, P=0. 005). NHISS of butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection was higher than that of Xueshuantong injection (MD=4. 63, 95%CI:3. 38-5. 87, P<0. 00001) and blank control (MD=6. 85, 95%CI:4. 90-8. 80, P<0. 00001). There was no significant difference in adverse drug reactions. Conclusion: Butylphthalide capsules combined with Xueshuantong injection is effective for the therapy of ACI. However, due to the limited quantity and quality of the in-cluded studies, larger scale trials are needed.

A method was developed for determining residual narasin in chicken tissues by HPLC with post-column derivatization. The samples were extracted with iso-octane. Further cleanup was performed on LC-si cartridge after centrifugation. Then the eluent was dried by nitrogen and residues were dissolved in methanol, water mixture (90∶ 10 v/v). The samples were analyzed on an Inertsil ODS-3 C18 column with a mixture of methanol-acetic acid-water as the mobile phase and vanillin as the derivatization reagent. The detection wavelength was 520 nm. The samples were quantified with the external standard calibration curve method. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification for narasin in chicken tissues were 6.0 μg/kg and 20 μg/kg, respectively. The average recoveries of narasin in chicken tissues were 76.4 %-93.1 %, the intra-assay relative standard deviations were 2.6 %-8.9% and the inter-assay relative standard deviations were 4.7%-9.7% at spiked levels of 20-1800 μg/kg. There was a good linear correlation (the calibration coefficient is above 0.9993) between the peak areas and concentration of narasin in the range of 70-10000 μg/L.

Objective To explore the blood-saving and conservation effect and clinical prognosis of extracorporeal circulation circuits designed individually by using medical polymeric materials for adults and infants in cardiac surgical procedures.Methods A total of 41 new extracorporeal circulation circuits designed based on the operation requirements,including 20 for adults and 21 for infants,were applied on adults and infants (body weight less than 10 kg),and the results were compared with that of the conventional circuits on adults (20) and infants (19)respectively.Total priming volume,priming and intraoperative blood products consumption,pump pressure,intraoperative blood hemoglobin (Hb) level,free Hb (f-Hb),platelet (Plt) count,mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2),colloid osmotic pressure (COP),lactate (Lac) level,Hb level after modified ultrafiltration,endotracheal intubation time and ICU time were all collected in two groups.Results Priming volume,priming and intraoperative blood consumption and f-Hb level in the blood-saving and conservation circuits group were significantly lower than that of conventional circuits group (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences (P＞0.05) between the two groups in pump pressure,intraoperative blood Hb level,Plt,SvO2,COP,Lac level,Hb level after modified ultrafiltration,endotracheal intubation time and ICU time.Conclusions The minimized blood conservation extracorporeal circulation circuit plays an important role in reducing priming volume and blood transfusion.It maintains a normal level of hemodynamics,oxygenation and tissue perfusion level during cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery for adults and infants.Red blood cell destruction can be reduced by improving blood compatibility,and physical data are all stabilized intra and post operation.This new circuit is secure,with its better outcome,expected in application.

Objective To investigate the influences of UVA on the secretion and expression of chemokine CXCL11/I-TAC by HaCaT cells induced by interferon γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Methods HaCaT cells were cultured in the presence of IFN-7 and TNF-a and irradiated with UVA of 2, 4 and 8 J/cm~2, respectively; those cells receiving neither treatment with IFN-γ or TNF-α nor UVA irradiation served as the negative control, and those receiving only cytokine treatment but no irradiation as the positive control. After another 24-hour culture, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the protein levels of CXCL11/I-TAC in the supernatant of HaCaT celb, real time PCR to measure the mRNA expression of CXCL11/I-TAC in these HaCaT cells. Results As far as the negative control HaCaT cells were concerned, there was a minor secretion of CXCL11/I-TAC protein and expression of CXCL11/I-TAC mRNA. After treatment with IFN-7 and TNF-a of 10 μg/L, the protein and mRNA expressions of CXCL11/ I-TAC were synergistically upregulated, whereas the induced secretion and expression of CXCL11/I-TAC by HaCaT cells were dose-dependently inhibited by UVA irradiation. Conclusions UVA irradiation inhibits the secretion and expression of CXCL11/I-TAC by HaCaT cells, which in turn suppresses the chemotaxis of Th1/ Tel cells in some degree.

Objective:To investigate the expression of inducible costimulatory ( ICOS) and inducible costimulatory ligand ( ICOSL) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs ) and their clinical relationship with rheumatoid arthritis ( RA ) patients.Methods:Peripheral blood samples were collected from 85 RA patients and 50 HC in this study.Expression of ICOS and ICOSL on PBMC from the subjects were detected by flow cytometry and real-time polymerase chain reaction( RT-PCR).The alteration of ICOS and ICOSL were observed after hormone therapy in 15 patients with RA and the relationship between their expression level and patients′clinical manifestations were analysed.Results:The ICOS and ICOSL mRNA level of RA patients′PBMCs were significantly higher than that in HC.The expression level of ICOS on CD4+T cells was higher than than that in HC[(7.08±4.72)% vs (3.01+1.39)%,P<0.0001].The expression of ICOSL on monocytes[(5.77±3.45)%vs (3.64±1.43)%,P<0.05] and B cells [(5.78± 4.52)%vs (3.97±1.63)%,P<0.05] were significantly elevated in RA patients.In RA patients with active disease,however,ICOSL expression on monocytes and B cells were increased as compared with those in inactive RA patients [ ( 5.45 ±3.50 )% vs ( 4.04 ± 1.55)%,P=0.036],[(6.59 ±5.74)%vs (5.63±4.30)%,P=0.016].Furthermore,after receiving immunosuppressive therapy, the expressions of ICOS and ICOSL were notably reduced as compared with pre-therapy levels on PBMCs from patients [ ( 5.45 ±3.50)%vs (4.04±1.55)%,P=0.036],[(6.59 ±5.74)%vs (5.63±4.30)%,P=0.016].Conclusion:The high levels of ICOS and ICOSL expression were closely correlated with the degree of disease and therapeutic response,suggesting that ICOS/ICOSL pathway may play a critical role in pathogenesis of RA.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To explore the effects of hydrogen sulfide ( H2 S) on the myocardial fibrosis in a rat model of diabetes and its mechanism.METHODS:Single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin ( STZ) was utilized to establish a rat model of diabetes.Sodium hydrosulfide was used as an exogenous donor of hydrogen sulfide.Male SD rats were ran-domly divided into control group, STZ group, STZ+H2 S group and H2 S group.Eight weeks later, HE and VG staining methods were used to observe the collagen distribution and collagen volume fraction was measured by image analysis.The expression levels of type I collagen, PPARγand NF-κB in the cardiac tissues were determined by Western blotting.RE-SULTS:Compared with control group, collagen distribution and the expression levels of type I collagen and NF-κB in the cardiac tissues were markedly increased (P<0.05), while PPARγwas significantly decreased in STZ group (P<0.05), but these indexes were reversed significantly in STZ+H2S group (P<0.05).The expression levels of type I collagen, PPARγand NF-κB had no significant difference between H2 S group and control group.CONCLUSION:Hydrogen sulfide attenuates cardiac fibrosis in diabetic rats, and its mechanism may be related to PPARγ-NF-κB signaling pathway.
