Objective To investigate the expression of sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-one (Siglec-1, also called CD169) in lymphocytes, monocytes and neutrophils in peripheral blood in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD), and explore the relationship between Siglec-1 expression and atheresclerosis. Methods CD145 CD169 positive cell proportion and CD169 mRNA levels were respectively measured by flow cytometry and real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (FQ-RT-PCR) in 57 CHD patients and 38 healthy controls. And the levels of serum hpids were determined by automatic biochemistry analyzer. Results The flow cytometry analysis showed that CD169 protein was not found in lymphocytes and neutrophils in both CHD patients and healthy controls. The rate of CD14 CD169 double positive ceils in monocytes in CHD group was significandy higher than that in healthy controls [(12.7±2.4)% vs (1.0±0.3)% ,t =23.2,P<0.01]. And FQ-RT-PCR analysis showed that the mean CD± mRNA copy number in PBMCs in CHD group was significantly higher(3.2 fold) than that in healthy controls [t = 6. 59, P < 0.01]. However, neither differences of CD169 protein positivities [[(12. 2 ± 2. 3) %vs (13.4±2.5)% ,t = 1.87,P >0.05] nor mRNA levels [3.64 fold vs 2.79 fold when compared with healthy controls,t =0. 98, P > 0. 05] were found between CHD patients with normal and abnormal levels of serum Lipids. Conclusions CD169 is mainly expressed in human tissue-resident macrophages but not expressed in peripheral blood monecytes. And when the monocytes is stimulated by inflammation, the expression of CD169 is increased. In patients with CHD, the increased expression of CD169 protein and mRNA level has demonstrated the activation of monocytes in peripheral blood. CD169 and CD169-mediated monocytes activation may play an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis.

Objective To study and compare the oral microbiota and metabolites of children with Henoch Schonlein purpura(HSP)to identify specific microbiota and metabolites related to this disease and elucidate the pathogenesis of HSP.Methods Three groups of qualified subjects were included,including 20 in the HSP group,20 in the HSP nephritis(HSPN)group,and 20 in the control group.Perform high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolic profiling of saliva from each group to analyze the correlation between differential microbiota and differ-ential metabolites.Results(1)Compared with the control group,there was a significant difference in richness and diversity in the HSPN group(P<0.05).At the same time,there was no significant difference in richness and diver-sity in the HSP group(P>0.05).Compared with the HSP group,the abundance,and diversity of the HSPN group were significantly increased(P<0.05).At the genus level,the proportion of Streptococcus in each group is the high-est.Compared with the control group,there was no significant correlation between the HSP group and the genus of bacteria.In contrast,the HSPN group showed a significant increase in the genera of Pseudomonas and Parabacteroi-des(P<0.05).Compared with the HSP group,the abundance of Pseudomonas and Parabacteroides in the HSPN group was significantly increased(P<0.05).(2)Compared with the control group,the HSPN group had 12 differen-tial metabolites involving nine metabolic pathways,such as phenylalanine metabolism;There was no significant dif-ference in metabolites and no metabolic pathway in the HSP group.Compared with the HSP group,the HSPN group has 15 differential metabolites involving nine metabolic pathways,such as phenylalanine metabolism.(3)In the HSPN and control groups,Pseudomonas and Parabacteroides negatively correlated with Phenylalanine metabolic pathway products.In the HSPN and HSP groups,Pseudomonas,Parabacteroides,and Phenylalanine metabolic path-way products were negatively correlated.The metabolites involved in phenylalanine metabolism in the oral cavity are 2-hydroxycinnamic acid,Phenylpyruvic acid,and N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine.Conclusion There is a significant dif-ference between HSPN and HSP children and healthy children.Streptococcus,Pseudomonas,and Parabacteroides may be one of the trigger factors of HSPN,and Phenylalanine metabolism may be one of the pathways in the patho-genesis of HSPN.Children with HSPN have a more pronounced imbalance in oral microbiota and greater differences in metabolic products than children with HSP.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of anxiety and depression in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), so as to provide theoretical basis for psychological intervention.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From November 2021 to March 2022, 150 patients with coronary heart disease after PCI were selected from the Department of Cardiovascular, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University by convenience sampling. The patients were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Pearson correlation was used to explore the relationship among anxiety, depression and social support in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI.Results:Among 150 patients with coronary heart disease after PCI, the total score of social support was 31.0 (28.0, 36.0), including 33 cases of anxiety (33/150, 22.0%), 47 cases of depression (47/150, 31.3%), and 27 cases of anxiety and depression (27/150, 18%). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total score and each dimension score of SSRS of patients with coronary heart disease after PCI were negatively correlated with SAS and SDS scores ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients with coronary heart disease after PCI are prone to anxiety and depression. While paying attention to patients' physical diseases, medical and nursing staff should pay attention to patients' psychological conditions, find negative emotions as early as possible and give targeted intervention and treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To study lung tissue injury induced by long-term aerosol inhalation of 4 kinds of non-aerosol drugs in healthy SD rats, and to evaluate the safety of aerosol inhalation of non-aerosol drugs. METHODS: Totally 40 healthy SD rats (♂) were randomly divided into 8 group, i.e. blank control group, normal saline group (solvent control), budesonide group (non-aerosol drug control, 0.1 g/L) ,silicon dioxide group (lung injury drug control, 40 g/L)and 4 kinds of non-aerosol drugs [Dingchuan decoction group (15 g/mL, calculated by crude drug), cefatriaxone group (200 g/L), Qingkailing group (stoste) and Tangreqing group (stoste)], with 5 rats in each group. Except that blank control group didn’t received any treatment, other groups received aerosol inhalation, 10 mL, twice a day, for consecutive 56 days. After medication, the number of white blood cells in peripheral blood were counted and classified, and the number of white blood cells in bronchus alveolar lavage fluid were counted. The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed by HE staining and the number of dust cells was counted. The expression of leukocyte differentiation antigen 163 (CD163) in lung tissue were determined by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: The white blood cells in peripheral blood mainly included lymphocyte and neutrophil, of which lymphocyte is the main one. Compared with blank control group, there was no statistical significance in the number of white blood cells, lymphocyte or neutrophil in peripheral blood, the number of white blood cells in alveolar lavage fluid or the number of dust cells in lung tissue of rats in normal saline group (P>0.05); the structures of bronchus and lung tissue were intact, and the expression of CD163 was negative. Compared with normal saline group, there was no statistical significance in the above indexed of rats in budesonide group(P>0.05), the structures of bronchus and lung tissue were intact, and the expression of CD163 was negative, while the number of white blood cells, lymphocyte or neutrophil in peripheral blood, the number of white blood cells in alveolar lavage fluid or the number of dust cells in lung tissue of rats in other 5 groups were all increased significantly (P<0.05); alveolar wall thickening and alveolar interstitial edema occurred in different degrees in lung tissue. The expression of CD163 was positive or strongly positive. CONCLUSIONS: The long-term aerosol inhalation of 4 kinds of non-aerosol drugs can induce pathological changes of lung tissue and increase the number of inflammatory cell and dust cell in alveolin in healthy SD rats.
