Chinese Journal of Dermatology 1995;0(01):-
Objective To study the relationship between HLA-DRB1alleles and the systematic lupus erythematosus of the Zhuang Nationality in Guangxi Province.Methods Allele polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers(PCR-SSP)were used to study the HLA-DRB1allele genes in52patients with SLE and70healthy controls of the Zhuang Nationality in Guangxi Province.Results The allele frequencies of HLA-DRB1*1401and HLA-DRB1*16were significantly less in SLE patients than those of the controls(RR=0.28,? 2 =5.00,P=0.02and RR=0.39,? 2 =3.95,P=0.05).HLA-DRB1*08,DRB1*11and DRB1*13alleles were not found in these two groups.Conclusion Our data suggest that the HLA-DRB1*1401and HLA-DRB1*16might be protecting genes for SLE in Guangxi Zhuang nationality.No susceptible gene is found in our study.

Objective To evaluate the potential effect of HLF (Hawthorn leave flavonoids, w/w, 80% flavonoids) against thrombus formation, effect of HLF on hypoxia-treated human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs) was studied. Method The levels of cytotoxicity and NO upon HUVECs were studied by flow cytometry. Moreover, the level of calcium ion in HUVECs was examined through laser scanning confocal microscopy. Result Data from this study showed that HLF at concentrations of 5 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml decreased the cytotoxicity of hypoxia to HUVECs (P<0.05, P<0.01). The intracellular levels of NO and calcium ion were downregulated by HLF at concentrations of 5 μg/ml (P<0.01; P<0.01) and 10 μg/ml (vs control, P<0.01; P<0.01) too. Conclusion Results observed suggest that HLF protect HUVECs from hypoxia partly through its regulative effect on NO and calcium ion levels.

Objective To study the effect of anticholinesterase agents on acantholysis in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) by using a mouse model.Methods Fifty-five neonatal BALB/c mice were divided into four groups:model group injected subcutaneously with the sera of patients with PV (n =15),pyridostigmine bromide group (n =15) and neostigmine methylsulfate group (n =15) subcutaneously injected with pyridostignine bromide and neostigmine methylsulfate respectively,in addition to the sera of PV patients,control group subcutaneously injected with sodium chloride physiological solution (n =10).The effect of anticholinesterase agents on acantholysis in PV was evaluated in terms of clinical presentation,histopathological manifestations and direct immunofluorescence findings.Results The injection of sera from PV patients induced characteristic changes of PV in neonatal BALB/c mice in the model group.The degree of acantholysis in the model group was higher than that in the pyridostigmine bromide group (H =21.584,P < 0.001) and neostigmine methylsulfate group (H =20.641,P < 0.001).No changes were observed in the control group.Conclusion Anticholinesterase agents can reduce the degree of acantholysis in the mouse model of PV.

Through the comparative study on the psychiatric specialist training system between China, Japan and Korea, we have found that the number of psychiatric specialist training base in Japan and Korea is more than that of our country. Japan has a higher requirement of the practice training experiences for trainees before training and emphasizes how well mastering general psychiatry and understanding of society as trainees. However, the training bases in South Korean have main hos-pitals and sub main hospitals as well and trainees are stipulated to participate in a certain number of academic conferences and publish academic papers as their characteristics, which can provide a refer-ence for our country's adding more additional psychiatric specialist training bases and reasonable arrangements for trainee rotation in the future.

Objective To study the degradation of hepatitis C virus(HCV) genome before and after methylene blue photochemistry(MB-P) treatment of the plasma.Methods MB was added to HCV positive plasma to a final concentration of 1.0?mol/L.The plasma was then exposed to 30000 Lux fluorescence.Plasma samples were then collected at different times of exposure.Real-time PCR was used to quantitatively study the course of the HCV-RNA degradation.The whole genome was screened for integrity by RT-PCR with 8 pairs of specific primers which targeted sequential overlapping sections of HCV genome.Results Results of real-time PCR showed that the copy number of HCV-RNA was continuously decreasing during MB-P treatment.RT-PCR results showed that the reactivity of different sections of the HCV genome to MB-P was significantly different and indicated that the 5' end and 3' end were more stable. Conclusion MB-P treatment could degrade HCV RNA with various sensitivities to different sections of the genome.RNA degradation may play an important role in plasma virus inactivation.Detection of HCV genomic RNA might be clinically useful to monitor the process and efficiency of virus inactivation.
