Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of etanercept in patients with Behcet's disease (BD). Methods Twenty six patients with active BD were eligible for anti-TNF-α treatment, which failed previously to commonly used drugs. All the patients were stopped previous therapy and treated with etanercept 25 mg twice a week. The clinical responses and laboratory parameters were evaluated at the baseline, week 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24, and week 12 of etanercept withdrawal. Results Etanercept was effective in several clinical lesions and lab. parameters at all time points. Especially at week 2, including oral ulcers, genital ulcers, erythema nodosum, pseudofolliculitis and swollen joints (P<0.01). Two of four cases of uveitis were contro-lled with addition of topical corticosteroids; The ileocecal junction ulcer of 1 patient healed after 2 months etanercept therapy; four cases of epididymitis reached complete remission at week 4. ESR(P=0.012) and CRP (P=0.013) were also rapidly decreased at week 2. Most patients were relapsed at week 12 of etanercept withdrawal compared with baseline except for swollen joints (0.65±1.09 vs 0.31±0.60, P<0.01) after etanercept withdrawal, in which the typical rebound was CRP from (481±312) mg/L to (549±267) mg/L (P=0.013).Conclusion Etanereept has rapid efficacy onset for most of the mucocutaneous disorders and possibly effective for arthritis, ophthalmitis, epididymitis and colonic ulcer of BD.

Objective To analyze the clinical features,and prognosis of the interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) by chest X-ray,chest high-resolution CT scan (HRCT) and pulmonary lung function.Methods Thirty-three patients hospitalized with DM/PM associated ILD were retrospectively analyzed.Results Thirty-three patients with ILD were confirmed by HRCT.Abnormal pulmonary function tests were available in 82% of patients.Clinical-imaging analysis revealed that the pathological features of ILD were non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP,57%) and unusual interstitial pneumonia (UIP,25%).UIP types showed a poor prognosis and high mortality (70%).Conclusion This study shows that HRCT is more sensitive for the diagnosis of ILD than lung function tests and chest X-ray.Combined HRCT and chest X-ray with lung function tests and blood gas analysis have shown that the major pathological types of ILD are NSIP and UIP,in which UIP are associated with high mortality and poor prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Micro-arc oxidation, also be known as micro-plasma oxidation or anodic spark deposition, is a new technology that can in situ grow ceramic coating directly on the surface of non-ferrous metals. And the ceramic coating has such characteristics as high corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, etc. It is advantageous to the osseointegration between implant and bone that the ceramic coating is able to produce porous, rough oxide film on the surface layer of the implant, which improves the biological reaction of the bone interface so as to affect the number of bone-forming cells, ype, products of cell, and the expression of the product.OBJECTIVE: To observe the osseointegration between bone and implant, and to analyze induced action of metal trace elements to bone-formation's marker (ALP). METHODS: A computer-based online search was conducted in PUMMED and Chinese Journal Full-text Database with the key words of "micro-arc oxidation, synosteosis, titanium, magnesium" in both English and Chinese between 1995 and 2009. Additionally, hand-made retrieval was performed for articles about micro-arc oxidation and microelement. Among 96 articles, 34 references were excluded due to unrelated and duplicated articles, and 28 ones were excluded due to long-term publication, 34 ones were included in the final analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: It is believed that the surface modification methods on microelement and micro-arc oxidation ceramic coating on Ti-based implant will become the mainstream process to improve the rate of implant-bone integration.However, the clinical application still needs to be further studied.

Objective To evaluate the expression of bcl-2, p53, Ki-67 in malignant lymphoma (ML)and the relationship between the expression of bcl-2, Ki-67, p53 and prognosis for the patients who were given autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). Methods The expression of bcl-2,Ki-67, p53 were measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on paraffin-embedded slices in 33 cases of ML who received AHSCT. Survival analysis was done by the Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test.Multivariate analysis was carried out using COX proportional hazard model. Results For patients with ML who received AHSCT, the 3-year disease free survival (DFS) of bcl-2(+) group was 35.71%, while that bcl-2(-) group was 88.89 %. There was significant difference of DFS between the two groups. Meanwhile, for these patients, the 3-year DFS of Ki-67(+) and Ki-67(-) were 43.75 % and 85.71%, respectively (P ＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that the expression of bcl-2 and Ki-67 were the independent prognostic factors.Conclusion The expression of bcl-2 and Ki-67 were closely related with relapse after AHSCT in patients with ML. They were useful molecular makers for predicting the prognosis of patients with ML after AHSCT.

AIM: To investigate the changes of L-arginine/nitric oxide(L-Arg/NO) pathway and the characteristics of L-Arg transport in erythrocytes (RBC) in patients with essential hypertension(EH). METHODS: 12 EH patients were studied with 10 normotensive people as control. The nitric oxide (NO) production was assayed by measuring the nitrite in medium using Greiss reaction. NO synthase activity was measured according to the method described by Ghigo. In order to achieve zero-trans condition, erythrocytes were incubated at 37℃ for 3 h and then L- Arg transport of RBC were determined by measuring the influx of radiolabelled L-arginine by Deliconstantins described method.RESULTS: In EH patients, NO production was lower than that in control (P
