BACKGROUND:More and more evidence have shown that autoimmune-induced inflammatory demyelinating mostly leads to optic neuritis that is quite an early manifestation of multiple sclerosis, but whether the pathogenesis of optic neuritis in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice is correlated with helper T cellsubsets has rarely been reported.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation between pathogenesis of optic neuritis of mouse EAE model with helper T cellsubsets.
METHODS:The mice were injected intraperitoneal y Bordetel a pertussis to establish EAE models. Then, the animal models were subjected to immunization for 11, 15, 19 days, respectively. Mice undergoing intraperitoneal injection of normal saline served as controls (adjuvant group).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the adjuvant group, the protein expression of interleukin 4 in the optic nerve decreased in the 19-day immunization group (P<0.05);the protein expression of interleukin 17 in the optic nerve increased in the 11-and 15-day immunization groups (P<0.05);the protein expression of interferonγin the optic nerve increased in the 15-and 19-day immunization groups (P<0.05);the protein expression of Foxp3 in the optic nerve decreased in the 11-, 15-and 19-day immunization groups (P<0.05). Real-time PCR results showed that compared with the adjuvant group, the mRNA expression of interferonγand Foxp3 in the optic nerve decreased (P<0.05), while mRNA expression of RORt increased in the 11-, 15-and 19-day immunization groups;the mRNA expression of interleukin 4, interleukin 17, T-beat increased in the 15-and 19-day immunization groups (P<0.05);the mRNA expression of GATA3 reduced in the 19-day immunization group (P<0.05). These results reveal that Foxp3 expression and helper T cellreduction have important influences on the development of optic neuritis in EAE mouse models, interleukin 17 may mediates inflammatory injury in the early stage, while interferon-γmakes inflammatory injury worse in the peak incidence of the disease.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the possibility of null stock in hospital drug storehouse.METHODS:The current situation of the drug storehouse of our hospital and pharmaceutical company of our district,and the existing problems in implementation of null stock were analysed.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:There exist difficulties in carrying out complete null stock in hospital drug storehouse now,however,if computer network is adopted and the drug storage is shared by both hospital and pharmaceutical company,implementation of null stock in hospital drug storehouse will be practical.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of puerarin injection combined with levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson. Methods 126 Parkinson patients were grouped into two groups randomly. Control group was treated with levodopa and observation group was added to Gegensu injection. Results 3 months later, UPDRS scale score, ADL and HAMD score of observation group were lower than that of control group(P<0.05).Serum Hcy and plasma hs-CRP level of observation group were lower than that of control group( P<0.05).Adverse reactions of observation group was 6.35％ during treatment, compared with the control group 9.52％ had no significant difference. Conclusion Gegensu injection can help improve cognitive ability and improve self-care ability in patients with Parkinson, alleviate symptoms and medication safety.

Objective To investigate the relationship between various clinicopatholngic factors and prognosis of early gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 459 patients with early gastric cancer who had undergone gastrectomy combined with extended (D2) lymphadenectomy at Zhongshan Hospital from January 2002 to October 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Survival was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and clinicopathologic factors such as age, sex, tumor size, gross morphology, tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, lymphatic vessels involvement and lymph node metastasis were analyzed using the Cox regression model. Univariate analysis was done by Log-rank test. Results Univariate analysis demonstrated that tumor size and differentiation, depth of invasion, lymphatic vessels involvement and lymph node metastasis significantly affected survival in patients with early gastric cancer (χ~2 = 8.476, 6.210, 4.014, 14. 197, 55.027, P < 0.05). The status of lymph node metastasis was an independent predictor of survival in patients with early gastric cancer, and the more metastatic lymph nodes detected, the greater the influence on the prognosis. Conclusions Lymph node metastasis is the most important factor influencing the prognosis of early gastric cancer. Appropriate lymph node dissection is necessary, especially for patients with risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis.

Objective To observe the effects of 19 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) aqueous extracts in vitro on the standard and clinical strains of propionibacterium acnes.Methods We collected lesion contents of acne vulgaris patients and conducted anaerobic cultivation of propionibacterium acnes at 35 ℃ for forty-eight hours.After tested by oxygen resistance experiment,Gram staining microscopy,catalytic test,nitrate test and sugar fermentation experiment,ANI anaerobic identification card,and VITEK fully-automatic microbe instrument,the strains were identified as propionibacterium acnes.We used AGAR dilution method to test the MIC values of various TCM aqueous extracts.Results The MIC values of Cortex phellodendri,Scutellaria baicalensis,and Rhiubarb were 25 mg/ml,respectively;the MIC values of Sophora flavescens and Honeysuckle were 50 mg/ml;the MIC values of Forsythia was 100 mg/ml.13 kinds of TCM aqueous extract did not produce bacteriostasis at the highest concentration of 200 mg/ml including Belvedere fruit,Chinese bulbul,Hedyotis diffusa,Houttuynia cordata,Purslane,Yerbadetajo herb,Radix isatidis,Lithospermum erythrorhizon,Folium isatidis,Taraxacum,Semen plantaginis,Angelica dahurica,and Fructus cnidii.Conclusions Aqueous extracts of Cortex phellodendri,Scutellaria baicalensis,Rhubarb,Sophora flavescens,Honeysuckle and Forsythia have good inhibitory effects in vitro on Propionibacterium acnes.

Objective To analyse the risk factors of vulnerable plaque biomarker and to construct an early warning system. Methods Ninety patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) hospitalized during December 2012 and December 2013 were selected. The coronary artery lesions were divided into type I, II and III plaque groups by the morphology of atherosclerotic plaque. Serum SAA, PLGF, sCD40L and Npt were measured. The results of SAA, PLGF, sCD40L and Npt were compared. Logistic regression model was fitted to explore the main influencing factors of the vulnerable plaque. Results SAA, PLGF, sCD40L, and Npt were main influencing factors of the vulnerable plaques, and the ORs were 1.61, 1.88, 1.96 and 1.79 respectively. Conclusion The detection of SAA, PLGF, sCD40L and Npt biochemical markers in patients with chest pain is important for predicting the vulnerable plaque and guiding clinical treatment.

Objective To study the correlation between hyperinsulinemia (HIns) and arteriosclerosis in one community in Beijing. Methods Subjects who received arteriosclerosis screening in physical examination annually were studied. All subjects were received 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to evaluate glucose metabolic level, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) examination to evaluate arteriosclerosis. The correlation between hyperinsulinemia and pulse wave velocity was analyzed. Results Among all the 1046 subjects under investigation, baPWV of subjects with HIns was higher than subjects with normoinsulinemia (NIns) in different glucose metabolism status [normal glucose tolerance, ( 1381.2 ±280. 8) cm/s vs ( 1280. 3 ±218. 7) cm/s; imparied glucose regulation, ( 1557. 5 ±319.3) cm/s vs (1474.7 ±305. 1) cm/s; diabetes, (1764.3 ±476.6) cm/s vs (1664.2 ±374.6)cm/s], especially in subjects with normal glucose tolerance ( P ＜ 0.01 ). The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in subjects with HIns was much higher than subjects with NIns ( P ＜ 0.01 ). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that hyperinsulinemia was the risk factor of arteriosclerosis, and the OR (95%CI) of subjects with HIns was 1.91 (1. 169-3. 105, P ＜0.01 ) as compared to the subjects with NIns. Conclusion The subjects with HIns suffered from much more metabolic risk factors than NIns.Hyperinsulinemia that closely correlated with baPWV was a risk factor of arteriosclerosis.
