Objective To investigate apoptosis of polymorphonuclear neutrophil and activity of caspase-3 in the peripheral blood and discuss their correlation with development of multiple organ dysfunc- tion syndrome (MODS) after multiple injury. Methods A total of 55 patients with multiple injury were included in the prospective study, and divided into two groups, ie, MODS group (multiple injury patients who developed MODS,) and non-MODS group (multiple injury patients who were free from MODS). The activity of caspase-3 was detected by flow cytometry and the serum levels of IL-6 and IL-10 were detected by ELISA. Then, we evaluated whether the neutrophil apoptesis was correlated with the ser- um levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in patients with MODS. Results Compared with non-MODS group, neu- trophil apoptesis was significantly reduced and activated caspase-3 decreased significantly in MODS group (P <0.05). In MODS group, serum IL-6 was increased significantly while serum IL-10 was decreased significantly compared with non-MODS group. The apoptosis of neutrophil in multiple injury patients with MODS had a negative correlation with IL-6 levels but a positive correlation with IL-10 levels. Conclu- sions The delayed apoptosis of neutrophil due to decreased activated caspase-3 may play partial roles in the development of MODS after multiple injury. IL-6 and IL-10 may contribute to the apoptotic changes.

Laboratory testing is of great value in the management of autoimmune disease. The results can help confirm a diagnosis, estimate disease severity, aid in assessing treatment effect. But the current autoimmunity laboratory system, including testing standards, quality control and supervision, does not match the national conditions well. As a result, the test reports are not mutual-recognized among laboratories. In the current background of precision medicine, with the advances of technology and the application of deep learning and artificial intelligence in the clinical laboratory field, the autoimmune laboratory has ushered in a new development trend of integration, automation and intelligence.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of aluminum exposure on neuronal apoptosis of rats hippocampus and the correlation of and synaptic plasticity.
METHODSThere were 40 SPF grade SD rats which were randomly divided into four groups: the control group, the low dose group, the medium dose group and the high dose group, 10 rats in each group. The rats were daily gavaged with aluminum lactate for 30 days. The hippocampal fEPSPs in rat was measured by electrophysiological grapher and the neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus was detected by Flow cytometer. In addition, the relative expression of gene which includes caspase-3, 8, 9 was measured by Real-time PCR.
RESULTSCompared to the control group, the average of fEPSPs which after HFS 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 min was decreased at different time point in the low dose group, the medium dose group and the high dose group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the rate of apoptosis was significantly increased in the medium dose group and the high dose group (P < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the relative expression of caspase-3 in the medium dose group and the high dose group was significantly increased in Real-time PCR (P < 0.05), and the relative expression of caspase-8 in the high dose group was significantly increased (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONAluminum exposure may induced neuronal apoptosis in rats, and then affect hippocampal synaptic plasticity.
