OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of levothyroxine on the follicular helper T lymphocyte level of patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. METHODS:51 patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis were selected as levothyroxine group,and another 30 healthy people were control group. Levothyroxine group was orally given 25-50 ug Levothyroxine sodium tablet,once a day,the dose was adjusted based on thyroid function,and the dose maintained when thyroid function turned normal,for continuous 90 d. Free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4),thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)and the percentage of Th17 cells account-ed for peripheral blood CD4+ T cells(Th17/CD4+)in levothyroxine group before and after treatment were observed and compared with control group,the correlation of Th17/CD4+ and thyroid function. RESULTS:After treatment,Th17/CD4+ level in levothyrox-ine group were significantly lower than before and higher than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). TSH in levothyroxine group were significantly lower than before,FT3 and FT4 were significantly higher than before,the differenc-es were statistically significant(P<0.05);compared with control group,the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05). Th17/CD4+ showed positive correlation with thyroid function in levothyroxine group. CONCLUSIONS:Levothyroxine can signifi-cantly reduce the Th17/CD4+ and TSH,increase FT3 and FT4,and Th17/CD4+ is involved in the occurrence and progression of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Objective: To investigate the changes of histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity during chronic asthma and its effects on the phenotype and biological activities of airway smooth muscle cells. Methods: Chronic asthma model was established with mice using repeated sensitization and challenge with OVA, and the lung was homogenated for total HDAC activity assay. Rat airway smooth muscle cells and human bronchial smooth muscle cells were stimulated with trichostatin A (TSA), an HDAC inhibitor. The effect of HDAC inhibition on phenotype switching was detected by Western Blotting analysis, and its effects on proliferation, migration and contraction of smooth muscle cells were examined by MTT, Transwell and gel contraction, respectively. Results: The total HDAC activity was significantly decreased in chronic asthmatic mice compared with saline-treated controls ([0.371±0.054] vs [0.603±0.034] μmol/(L·μg), P<0.01). Incubation of the rat trachea ring and human bronchial smooth muscle cells with TSA (0.5 μmol/L) for 12-24 h increased the expression of α-sm-actin and SM22-α. TSA significantly decreased cell number after 24 h treatment ([1.719±0.044)×10 4 vs ([1.911±0.048]×104, P<0.05) and 48 h [1.808±0.009]×104 vs [2.537±0.01]×10 4, P<0.05) compared with DMSO controls. TSA treatment for 24 h also significantly decreased the migrated cells compared with the PDGF-treated cells (52±7.5 vs 88±7.632, P<0.05). Furthermore, the gel contraction rate was significantly lower in the TSA-treated cells than in the DMSO or PDGF-treated cells ([9.885±7.084]% vs [44.844±3.808]% and [41.315±7.943]%, P<0.05). Conclusion: HDAC activity is decreased in the lung of chronic asthmatic mice, which may be related to switching of the airway smooth muscle cells to a "contractic" phenotype, but with no increase of their contraction capability.

Purpose To detect whether a 3243 point mutation existed in age related macular degeneration (AMD). Methods Twenty six cases of wet form AMD patients, ten cases of dry form AMD patients were selected,and compared with twenty nomal controls. After collecting anti coagulated blood samples, total cellular DNA were extracted and purified. Using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment long polymorphism techniques, the mtDNA A→G point mutation at position 3243 were detected. Results After cleaveded by restriction endonuclease Apa I, a 294 bp fragment remained only in all detected DNA samples including twenty six wet form AMD, and ten dry form AMD. No any other fragment appeared. The result showed that there was no A→G mutation at position 3243 found in AMD. Conclusion It is suggested that mtDNA 3243 point mutation due to maternal inheritance might be not concerned with both wet form AMD and dry form AMD.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sibutramine,an anti obesity drug, in patients with overweight and simple obesity. Methods: Forty six patients with overweight and simple obesity were randomly assigned to sibutramine or placebo group according to the rule double blind. Results: After a 2 week wash out followed by a 24 week treatment periods, body weight, BMI, waistline and hip of sibutramine group decreased significantly compared with placebo group. The effect was significant at week 4 and advanced at week 8. In sibutramine and placebo group, the total effective rates were 81.82% and 16.67% respectively. The incidence of total adverse effects (thirsty, constipation, headache, agrypnin and so on) in sibutramine group was 27.27% and 11.11% in placebo group. Conclusion: The short term obeservation shows that sibutramine is an effective and safe anti obesity drug in overweight and simple obesity treatment, and the patients compliance is good.

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.
