1.Progress in treatment of childhood atopic dermatitis
International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(5):327-330
Atopic dermatitis is a complex chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease.Atopic dermatitis in children is usually less severe than in adults, but it is with a high incidence and is susceptible to relapse.Therefore, the physical and mental health of children and their family maybe seriously affected.In the past, the treatments of atopic dermatitis have been limited to glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants.It is unsafe for children because of their toxicities.With the in-depth understanding of pathogenesis, more and more new therapies that focus on intervening in the inflammatory pathway by targeting specific cytokines or their receptors have been found and applied.This article reviews the progress of treatment of the disease to provide new insights for the optimal treatment of atopic dermatitis.

0.05). However, incidences of VRS paining grade, nausea and vomiting in Z-type stainless steel stent group were significantly higher than Ni-Ti alloy mesh stent group (P 0.05). All patients in both groups did not have general toxicity and hypersensitivity reaction, and they had normal cell component, number and form of hematopoieticsystem. CONCLUSION: Both Z-type stainless steel stent and Ni-Ti alloy mesh stent are suitable for alleviative treatment of advanced esophageal cancer; however, side effects induced by Ni-Ti alloy mesh stent is less than by Z-type stainless steel stent in an early postoperative stage.

Objective:To observe the conditions of isolation,purification and culture of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) in vitro derived from human umbilical cord,and to observe the repairing effect on experimental hepatic fibrosis in rats by transplantation with MSCs only or MSCs with IL-10.Methods:The MSCs derived from human umbilical cord were isolated,purified and cultivated in vitro.The model of hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl4 was established.After the model of hepatic fibrosis was succeeded,the rats were divided into three groups:model group,MSCs transplantation group,MSCs transplantation with IL-10 group.MSCs transplantation group was given 1×106 MSCs by the tail vein injection at the first 1 weeks,2 weeks and 3 weeks.MSCs transplantation with IL-10 group not only was given MSCs the same with MSCs transplantation group, but also was injected of IL-10 ( 4 μg/kg ) in abdomen, 4 times a week.After 4 weeks,the rats were executed,rats blood was collected to observe the changes of liver function and the index of liver fibro-sis.The liver HE staining was carried out to observe the changes of liver pathology.Expression of MMP-2 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR method,expression of TGF-βprotein was detected by Western blot method.Results:The rat liver function and the index of liver fibrosis improved obviously with a significant difference between model group , MSCs transplantation group and MSCs transplantation with IL-10 group after transplanting,MSCs with IL-10 was better than MSCs only.Liver tissue of rats with hematoxylin eosin staining suggested,liver fibrosis was obviously improved,and the MSCs transplantation with IL-10 group was best.MMP-2 mRNA expression was significantly higher between normal group and model group,MSCs transplantation group with a significant difference (P<0.05),MMP-2 mRNA expression was higher with a no significant difference between model group and MSCs transplantation with IL-10 group ( P>0.05).TGF-βprotein expression of other groups was higher than normal group with a significant (P<0.05),and MSCs transplantation with IL-10 group was the largest decrease than normal group.Conclusion:MSCs only or MSCs with IL-10 transplantation can improve the biochemical characteristics of rat peripheral blood and liver histological structure,and with IL-10 wan better than MSCs only.MSCs and IL-10 play a role in the treatment of liver fibrosis through lowering the expression of MMP-2 and the expression of TGF-βprotein.

Objective To investigate the role of spinal glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signal pathway in rats with morphine tolerance.Methods Forty healthy male SD rats aged 8-10 weeks weighing 300-350 g in which intrathecal (IT) catheters were successfully implanted without complication were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =10 each):control group(group C) received IT injection of normal saline 10 μl twice a day for 7 consecutive days; morphine tolerance group(group M) received IT injection of morphine 10 μg twice a day for 7 consecutive days; dexamethasone (a GR agonist) group( group DEX)received IT injection of dexamethasone 4 μg 30 min before IT injection of morphine,twice a day for 7 consecutive days;RU38486(a GR blocker)group (group R) received IT injection of RU38486 2 μg 30 min before IT injection of morphine,twice a day for 7 consecutive days.Tail-flick test was measured once a day after first IT administration and 1 d after the end of IT administration,and the percentage of maximum possible antinociceptive effect (MPAE)was caculated.After the last measurem of tail-flick test,the spinal dorsal horns were removed for determination of PI3K,Caspase-3 expression and Akt activity.Results Morphine tolerance developed in groups M,DEX and R,but did not develop in group C.Compared with group C,Akt activity was decreased,PI3K expression was downregulated and Caspase-3 expression was up-regulated in group M (P < 0.05).Compared with group M,MPAE and Akt activity were decreased,PI3K expression was down-regulated and Caspase-3 expression was up-regulated in group DEX,and MPAE and Akt activity were inecreased,PI3K expression was up-regulated and Caspase-3 expression was down-regulated in group R (P < 0.05).Conclusion Spinal cord GR is involved in morphine tolerance by inhibiting PI3K/Akt signal pathway.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of four 5-hydroxytryptamine type 4 (5-HT4) receptor agonists:cisapride,zacopride,macopride and 2-[1-(4-piperonyl) piperazinyl]-benzothiazole (BZTZ),on rat cardiac inward rectifier potassium channel (IK1)and heart rhythm.METHODS The whole-cell configuration of patch-clamp technique was used to record effects of 5-HT4 receptor agonists onIk1 in enzymatic dissociated rat ventricular myocytes or Kir2.1 transfected HEK 293 cells.Western blotting was used to observe the expression of Kir2.1 channel exposed 24 h to agents in ventricular myocytes.Langendorff-perfused hearts were perfused with four agents respectively for 30 min.The electrocardiogram was recorded simultaneously.RESULTS BZTZ,cisapride and mosapride 0.1-10 μmol· L-1 decreasedIk1 in a concentrationdependent manner.At the same concentration (1 μmol· L-1),BZTZ showed the most potent inhibition onIκ1 (P<0.01),followed by cisapride.Mosapride showed slight inhibition efficiency.However,zacopride enhanced Iκ1 (P<0.01).In Kir2.1 heterologous expression systems,zacopride activated Kir2.1 current (P<0.01) while mosapride had no effect.In ex vivo Langendorff-perfused hearts,BZTZ and cisapride 1μmol· L-1 elicited singnificant rhythm disturbances,and the total of premature ventricular beats (PVB) were 159±28 and 61±13.50% (4/8) (P<0.05) and 25% (1/8) of the hearts exhibited ventricular tachycardia (VT),while 37.5% (3/8) and 12.5% (1/8) of the hearts exhibited ventricular fibrillation (VF),respectively.Mosapride and zacopride had no side effects on heart rhythm.Zacopride also suppressed BZTZ-or cisapride-induced arrhythmias.BZFZ had the strongest proarryhthmic potency among the 5-HT4 agonists,followed by cisapride,mosapride and zacopride.CONCLUSION Iκ1 might be an independent risk factor for arrhythmogenesis and a new target for screening safe 5-HT4 receptor agonists and gastrointestinal prokinetic agents.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum uric acid and fasting blood glucose ( FBG) in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes in regard to different genders. Methods In 282 patients of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes(208 males and 74 females), detection of serum FBG, uric acid, creatinine, transaminases, blood lipids, etc were determined. FBG<7. 0 mmol/L was found in 118 cases (89 males and 29 females);7. 0 mmol/L≤FBG≤9. 0 mmol/L in 114 cases ( 88 males and 26 females ); FBG>9. 0 mmol/L in 50 cases ( 31 males and 19 females). Results (1)Serum uric acid showed statistically significant difference in regard to sex[Male:(325. 82±92. 26)μmol/L, Female:(292. 26±76. 19)μmol/L, P<0. 01]. (2) FBG and serum uric acid were negatively related(r=-0. 316, P<0. 01). (3) FBG and serum uric acid were negatively related both in male(r=-0. 320, P<0.01)andinfemale(r=-0.291,P<0.05). (4)Multiplestepwiseregressionanalysisshowedthatthethreegroups of FBG and serum uric acid showed regression relationship in male and female patients(P<0. 01). Conclusion With the increased FBG, serum uric acid was decreased in both males and females. Therefore, serum uric acid might serve as a potential biomarker of glucose metabolism.
