Objective:To establish the murine systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) model of chronic graft versus host diseases(cGVHD). To analyze the pathological changes and serological and immunological features in the animals. Methods: Female (C57BL/10?DBA/2)F1 hybrids aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into model group and healthy controls (HC). Lymphocytes from female DBA/2 were injected intravenously to the model group on days 0, 3 and 8,while PBS were injected to the HC under the same condition as a control group. Bradford was applied to monitor the development of albuminuria quantitively. Sera were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) for the presence of autoantibodies. To compare the differences of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells between the two groups by flow cytometry (FCM) and the differences in the expression of Foxp3 by real time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The kidneys of model mice were removed in the 12th week and were made frozen sections for direct immunofluorescence(DIF)and paraffin imbedding for PASM staining. Results: The titers of proteinuria in model group in the 6th week, 8th week, 10th week, and 12th week were significantly higher than those of the HC groups(P=0.004, 0.005,respectively). The titers of anti-dsDNA and anti-nucleosome antibodies were significantly increased in the model group compared with the HC (P

National traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) master professor Ban Xiuwen had rich experiences on treatment of gynecological diseases with unique insights on diagnosis and treatment for disorders of menstruation, leukorrhea, pregnancy and delivery. FemaleYin-Wei, which was a gynecological disorder, was recorded in the book ofHuang-Di Nei-Jing. However, due to different reasons, TCM study on femaleYin-Wei was far less than the study on male impotence. ProfessorBan Xiuwen had specific considerations for this disease on the book of Treatment of Miscellaneous Gynecological Diseases. In his understanding, femaleYin-Wei was due to four aspects, which were the innate deficiency, yang deficiency and coldness of the uterus; seven emotion damage, liver-qi soothing disorder; spleen-stomach deficiency,qi-blood deficiency; and phlegm-dampness stasis,qi stagnation. Through the analysis and study on case records of femaleYin-Wei treatment by national TCM master professorBan Xiuwen, this article briefly elaborated professorBan Xiuwen’s understandings on femaleYin-Wei treatment from etiology, pathogenesis, treatment according to syndrome differentiation, and clinical experiences. Two femaleYin-Wei cases treated by professorBan Xiuwen were given as examples in order to analyze the etiology, pathogenesis, treatment according to syndrome differentiation and treatment experiences in details. The therapeutic effects of both cases were obvious, which were also important study documents.

Objective To compare the expression level of interferon regulator factor 5 (IRF5) of the health controls and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and analyze the relationship between IRF5 and SLE disease activity. Methods Peripheral blood monoeytes (PBMCs) from SLE patients and healthy donors were separated with Ficoll density gradient eentrifugation and total cellular RNA was isolated with Trizol from the PBMCs, the mRNA was reverse transcripted to cDNA. Real-time PCR was applied to determine the expression level of IRFS. The expression level of IRF5 between the two groups were compared. The correlations of expression level of IRF5 with SLE disease activity and other laboratory or clinical parameters of SLE patients were analyzed. Results The level of IRF5 was (2.1±2.2) in SLE patients and (1.5±1.2) in healthy controls, the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.161). And the levels of IRF5 in SLE patients were significantly correlated with their SLEDAI (r=0.616,P<0.01), but not correlated with other parameters such as bemoglobulin complements, immunoglobulin etc. Anti-dsDNA antibody positive patients had significantly higher expression of IRF5 compared to the anti-dsDNA-antibedy-negative patients. The IRF5 mRNA levels of SLE patients with fever or neuropsyehiatric symptoms were significantly higher than those of patients free of neuropsychiatrie involvement. Conclusion High expression level of 1RF5 may contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE in disease activity and antibody production.

Objective To compare the effect of different positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEPs) on the efficacy of volume therapy guided by global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) and central venous pressure (CVP) in patients with septic shock.Methods Twenty-five patients with septic shock complicated with respiratory failure,of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,were enrolled in the study.Their APACHE [[scores were 13-31.The patients were endotracheally intubated and underwent volume-controlled ventilation,PEEP was 5-15 cmH2O,and pulse oxygen saturation was maintained ＞ 90 ％.The patients were divided into low PEEP (5-10 cmH2 O) group and high PEEP (11-15 cmH2 O) group depending on the different PEEP levels.6 ％ hydroxyethyl starch (200/0.5)6 ml/kg was infused over 30 min for volume therapy.Right internal jugular vein or subclavian vein was cannulated for CVP monitoring,and GEDVI was continuously monitored by pulse indicator continuous output monitoring (PiCCO) technology.CVP and GEDVI were recorded before and after volume therapy and the changing rate was calculated.Results Compared with CVP and GEDVI before volume therapy,CVP and GEDVI were significantly increased after volume therapy in low PEEP group (P ＜ 0.05),and GEDVI was increased after volume therapy (P ＜ 0.05) and no significant change was found in CVP after volume therapy in high PEEP group (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with low PEEP group,the changing rate of CVP was significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the changing rate of GEDVI in high PEEP group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion High PEEP can decrease the efficacy of volume therapy guided by CVP,while exerts no effect on the efficacy of volume therapy guided by GEDVI in patients with septic shock.

AIM: To investigate the CPU86017 and its enantiomers inhibit abnormal gene expression of calcineurin and NFκB in rat cardiomyopathy induced by L-thyroxin and compare the effect of CPU86017 (racemate) with its 4 enantiomers: (7S, 13R), (7S, 13S), (7R,13S), and (7R,13R)-CPU86017 in this model. METHODS: The animals were randomly divided into 7 groups. The rat hypertrophied model was produced by treatment with L-thyroxin 0.2 mg·kg-1·d-1, sc for 10 d and treated with CPU86017 or its enantiomers 4 mg·kg-1·d-1, sc from d 6 to d 10. The changes in left ventricular (LV) weight index, redox system, and the NO and iNOS activity in the myocardium were investigated. The expression of mRNA of calcineurin、NF-κB in the left ventricle was measured. RESULTS: There were significant cardiac hypertrophy and oxidative stress in rats treated by L-thyroxin. The expression of calcineurin, NFκB mRNA were upregulated (P<0.05, compared with that of control). After treatment with CPU86017 (racemate and enantiomers), LV remodeling and the redox system were improved. CPU86017 and (7S,13R)-CPU86017 showed a better improvement on LV remodeling and the redox than the other isomers and restored the normal expression of calcineurin, NF-κB (P<0.05, P<0.01), respectively. CONCLUSION: It suggested that an up-regulation of calcineurin and NFκB possibly related to the altered intracellular calcium handling system plays a role in the progression of L-thyroxin induced cardiomyopathy and CPU-86017 and its 7S,13R-CPU86017 enantiomer effectively inhibit the abnormal expression of calcineurin and NFκB genes, the NOS enzyme and oxidant stress in the cardiomyopathy.

OBJECTIVE: This article summarizes the matters warranting consideration in adult cochlear implants before and after operation with different deafness causes and investigates the impact of etiological variables that affect hearing and speech ability rehabilitation after cochlear implantation. METHOD: We retrospectively reviewed the preoperative data of 30 adults who have received cochlear implantation, switch on, and periodical post operative mapping. 'Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire' was used for every patient during follow-up and test their hearing thresholds at one year after switched-on. The average score of every patient in the six aspects of questionnaire, along with the average hearing threshold, has been gathered. RESULT: The average hearing threshold of every patient is lower than 35 dBHL. The average score of 28 patients is more than or equal to 75 in the basic sound perception, advanced sound perception as well as self-esteem. The average score of 26 patients is more than or equal to 75 in capacity for action. Besides, as for sociability and speech ability, the average score of 22 patients is more than or equal to 75. CONCLUSION Auditory perception can be greatly improved regardless of deafness causes, on the premise that appropriate candidate is selected. The primary disease should be brought under control before and after the operation. The influence of various causes to the language ability rehabilitation largely depends on the development of the language center at deafness onset. Self-esteem and social identity can be significantly enhanced after cochlear implantation in adult patients, particularly those with acquired deafness.
