Objective To investigate the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3[1,25(OH)2D3] on regulatory T cells(CD4+CD25+ Foxp3+ T cell)and airway inflammation in asthmatic rats. Methods Asthmatic models were established in 28 rats with ovalbumin as sensitinogen,and four groups were randomly divided(n=7).1,25(OH)2D3 was orally administered 1 h before challenge in treatment group 1,dexamethasone was subcutaneously injected 1 h before challenge in treatment group 2,both 1,25(OH)2D3 and dexamethasone were given 1 h before challenge in treatment group 3,while no medicine was administered 1 h before challenge in group 4(asthmatic control group).The levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were detected,the total cell numbers were obtained and the eosinophil count was performed.The ratios of Treg to CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood and spleen mononuclear cells were measured with flow cytometry,and the mRNA expression of IL-10 and Foxp3 in lung tissues was detected.Wistar rats without asthma were served as normal controls(n=7). Results There were significant differences between asthmatic control group and normal control group in each parameter.Compared with asthmatic control group,the total cell number and eosinophil count decreased,the level of IL-4 decreased and the level of IL-10 increased in BALF in treatment groups.The ratios of Treg to CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood and spleen mononuclear cells significantly increased,and the mRNA expression of IL-10 and Foxp3 in lung tissues increased in treatment groups compared with asthmatic control group.There was no significant difference between treatment groups and normal control group in each parameter. Conclusion Administration of 1,25(OH)2D3 increases the proportion of Treg and expression of Foxp3 mRNA in peripheral blood and spleen in asthmatic rats.1,25(OH)2D3 has a regulatory effect on Treg,and may serve as a potential therapeutic approach against asthma.

0.05),but 5-Aza at the concentration of 15?mol/L inhibited the growth of MSCs(P

0.05).However,neither CpG-ODN nor hTNF-? failed in improving the expression rates of CD1a.Conclusions CpG-ODN,like hTNF-?,has remarkable im- munostimulatory effect on the differentiation and maturation of monocyte-derived DC from patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Objective To develop an effective way to evaluate the accurate platelet count in a patient with anticoagulants-induced pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP).Methods It was studied that various anticoagulants effect on the platelets count for an infrequent patient with anticoagulants-dependent PTCP. When vitamin B6,aminophylline,gentamicin and amikacin were separately added to four anticoagulated blood samples from anticoagulants-dependent patient within 15 min after blood withdrawal,platelets count and morphological changes of blood cells after 4 hours of incubation at room temperature were investigated. The best anti-aggregating agent and its optimal concentration among them were explored.Results The four anticoagulants all could not inhibit the aggregation of the patient's platelets.Only amikaein among the above anti-aggregating agents can prevent and dissociate the aggregation of platelets without apparent morphological changes of blood cells and the platelet counts was stable within 4 hours after blood drawn when amikacin was added either before or after blood sampling.With increasing the concentration of amikaein,the platelet counts increase and then tend to be stable.The optimal concentration of amikacin is 5 mg/ml blood.Conclusions The supplementation of amikaein either before or after blood sampling is a useful method for the diagnosis anticoagulants-dependent PTCP and for the eva/uation of platelet counts in infrequent patients with anticoagulants-dependent PTCP.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of intraoperative methylprednisolone used in combination with perioperative enteral nutrition support in improving liver synthetic function after hepatectomy and postoperative recovery.Methods In this prospective controlled trial,79 patients treated with hepatectomy at Departement of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Surgery in Drum Tower Hospital between June 2013 and May 2014 were included and divided into control group (n =39) and steroid group (n =40) according to the order of surgery.The control group underwent hepatectomy only,while the steroid group received intraoperative methylprednisolone (500 mg) at the start of liver excision.Both of the two groups were given the same perioperative enteral nutrition support.Liver function,prealbumin (PA),and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured before and on days 1,3,and 5 after the operation.Human blood albumin infusion volume,postoperative gas passing,postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of complications were recorded.Results The serum level of PA on day 3 after hepatectomy was significantly higher in the steroid group than in the control group [(101.26 ±61.17) mg/L vs.(81.84 ±43.58) mg/L,t =-1.607,P =0.049].The serum level of cholinesterase on day 1 after hepatectomy was significantly higher in the steroid group than in the control group [(5.60±1.54) kU/Lvs.(4.68±1.01) kU/L,t=-3.136,P=0.004].On day1 and day 3 after hepatectomy,the serum levels of CRP were significantly lower in the steroid group than in the control group [(41.79 ±20.86) mg/L vs.(62.08 ±38.33) mg/L,t =2.933,P=0.027;(64.14 ±32.38) mg/L vs.(102.64 ± 49.05) mg/L,t =4.127,P =0.006].The postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the steroid group than in the control group [(12.62 ±5.74) d vs.(15.41 ± 10.00)d,t =1.514,P =0.002].Conclusion Intraoperative use of methylprednisolone combined with perioperative enteral nutrition support may inhibit postoperative inflammatory response,promote early recovery of liver synthetic function,and help to promote rehabilitation after hepatectomy.

Objective To develop and evaluate an up-converting phosphor technology-based lateral flow assay ( UPT-LF) for detection of aflatoxin M1(AFM1) in milk powder and milk.Methods AFM1-UPT-LF was established with up-converting phosphor ( UCP) nano-particles as the bio-label of competitive mode based LF assay .Sensitivity, quantitative ability and precision were evaluated using simulated AFM 1-postive samples with serial standard concentrations .The qualita-tive and quantitative detection performance of AFM 1-UPT-LF was evaluated with reference to liquid chromatography-mass spectrography ( LC-MS) to detect samples of milk powder and milk simultaneously .Results AFM1-UPT-LF could conduct qualitative and quantitative detection without sample pretreatment within 20 min.The detection limit of AFM1-UPT-LF reached 0.1 μg/kg in milk powder and 0.3 μg/L in milk.There was good linearity ranging from 0.1 to 0.7 μg/kg and 0.3 to 0.7 μg/L for milk powder and milk, respectively.The sensitivity, specificity and receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) area under the curve ( AUC) of AFM1-UPT-LF for qualitative result could meet the need of national standards for AFM1 limit in dairy products.After statistical analysis, there was no significant difference (milk powder: t=0.66, P>0.05;milk:t=1.01, P>0.05) between AFM1-UPT-LF and LC-MS for quantitative detection .Conclusion The good qualitative and quantitative detection performance of AFM 1-UPT-LF for milk powder and milk makes possible on-site rapid detection of AFM1 in dairy products quantitatively .

Objective To investigate the effect of social support and childbirth self-efficacy-enhancing intervention on primiparas' childbirth self-efficacy,coping ability and pain during labor.Methods A randomized controlled trial was used with double blindness design.One hundredand six primiparas were recruited as the intervention group and control group,53 cases in each group.The two groups adopted the routine prenatal care.In addition,the intervention group participated in twice childbirth self-efficacy-enhancing educational courses.The Chinese Childbirth Self-Efficacy Inventory (CBSEI) was used to conduct the comparison between before and after intervention;the interventional effects in the natural childbirth pregnant women were compared between the two groups by adopting the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Childbirth Coping Behavior Scale (CCB);the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) was adopted to analyze correlation between the social support level with the CBSEI and CCB.Results The intervention group finally had 52 cases of effective sample and the control group had 51 cases of effective sample.The CBSEI score after intervention in the intervention group was 282.04± 27.38,which was higher than 236.69± 45.39 before intervention.The CCB score in the intervention group was 56.78 ± 6.95,which was significantly higher than 48.03 ± 6.26 in thecontrol group,and the VAS score in the intervention group was 6.96 ± 1.39,which was lower than 8.35 ± 1.43 in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).The MSPSS score in the two groups was positively correlated with the OE score,efficacy expectancy (EE) score and CBSEI score before intervention(r=0.269,0.289,0.317,P＜0.01).Conclusion Launching the childbirth self-efficacy-enhancing educational intervention of the social support system can effectively improve the childbirth self-efficacy and coping ability of primiparas,and reduce the intrapartum pain level.
