Objective To explore the related factors influencing the prognosis of children with Tourette syndrome ( TS) . Methods We collected 420 outpatient cases of TS children in the department of pediatrics of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January of 2007 to October of 2010 as the research objects. Using the unified survey questionnaire, we observed the influencing factors of TS prognosis such as sex, onset age, mother’s pregnancy situation, the perinatal period, partiality for food intake, family relationship, the first symptom, the severity of disease, underlying diseases, comorbidities ( such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder) , family history of psychiatric or neurological diseases, trace elements levels, electroencephalogram (EEG), antistreptolycin O (ASO), course of disease, and maintenance treatment. The related factors of prognosis was analyzed with single factor and multiple factors Logistic regression analysis. Results Among the 420 cases of TS children, 396 cases were included into the final analysis, 24 were lost and the follow-up lost rate was 5.7%. The remission rate of TS was 78.3%, and the uncured rate was 21.7%. The results of preliminary screening of the influencing factors by single factor Logistic analysis showed that the related influencing factors for TS prognosis were 12, and they were course of diseases, abnormal birth history, father’s education level, mother’s education level, upbringing methods, family history of psychiatric or neurological diseases, underlying disease history, comorbidities history, abnormal ASO, the severity of disease, the frequency of disease relapse, and the medication history of western medicine (P<0.05) . And then the obtained 12 factors were analyzed by the multiple fac tors Lo gistic regression analysis, the results showed that upbringing methods, comorbidities history, the severity of disease, and the frequency of disease relapse were correlated with TS prognosis ( P < 0.05) . Conclusion TS children will have poor prognosis when their parents spoil, indiscipline, beat and scold, and dictate them, or when the children have severe illness state, frequent recurrence of the disease, and the history of comorbidities ( atten tion deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.) .

Objective To probe the relationship between the expression of TL1A and the level of IFN-γ secreted by T cells in the acute stage of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Methods ① Six-week female Bal b/c mice were immunized by purified recombinant human soluble TNF-like molecular 1A (rhsTL1A) protein. The polyclonal antibody against rhsTL1A was identified by immunofluorescence using human umbilical vein epithelial cells (HUVEC). ② To detect the biologic activity of rhsTL1A, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from the healthy donors were separated by Ficoll gradient centrifugation and were seeded on 96-well plates with medium containing 2 μg/ml PHA (control group), 2 μg/ml PHA + 25 ng/ml rhsTL1 A, 2 μg/ml PHA + 100 ng/ml rhsTL1A and 2 μg/ml PHA + 400 ng/ml rhsTLlA respectively. T cell proliferation assay was carried out using ~3H-TdR. ③ IFN-γ productions in the sera of the children with GBS in the acute stage were detected by ELISA. ④ The ratio of CD_3~+ TL1A~+ T cells to CD_3~+ T cells in the peripheral blood of the children with GBS in acute stage was detected with flow, cytometry. ⑤PBMC from the children in acute GBS were separated and cultured in the environment adding 2 μg/ml PHA and 400 ng/ml rhsTL1A in vitro. Then, the IFN-γ in the supernatant was determined by ELISA kit after 72 hours. Results ① hTL1A A expressed by eukaryotic HUVECs was recognized by rhsTL1 A polyclonal antiserum. ② The result of T cell proliferation assay showed that SI of 25 ng/ml rhTL1A, 100 ng/ml rhTL1A A and 400 ng/ml rhTL1A group was increased compared with control group. The SI of 2 μg/ml PHA +400 ng/ml rhsTL1 A group was the highest (2. 65) among them. ③ IFN-γ productions in the sera of the children with GBS in the acute stage ((102. 25±22. 17) pg/ml) were increased significantly compared with healthy control ((28.75 ± 1.31) pg/ml, t = 3. 309, P < 0. 05). ④ The ratio of CD_3~+ TL1A~+ T cells to CD_3~+ T cells in the peripheral blood of the children with GBS in acute stage (18.22%± 1.83%) was enhanced significantly compared with healthy control (5. 17% ±0. 48%, t = 6. 884, P < 0. 01). ⑤ PBMC both in healthy control and the acute GBS secreted more IFN-γ markedly ((43.56± 4.41) pg/ml and (180.64 ± 38.39) pg/ml) after being incubated in 2 μg/ml PHA and 400 ng/ml rhsTL1A (t =4. 523 and 2. 600, P <0. 01 and 0. 05 respectively). Moreover, PBMC in acute GBS secreted more IFN-γ, than that of the healthy group markedly (t = 3. 545, P < 0. 05). Conclusions ① The mouse antiserum recognizing rhsTL1A is successfully obtained. ② In this study, 400 ng/ml rhsTL1A promotes the proliferation of T cells activated by 2 μg/ml PHA, indicating that rhsTL1A has biological activity. ③ The expression of hTL1A of activated T cells in the peripheral blood of the children with acute GBS is up-regulated. These TL1A proteins promote the secretion of IFN-γ through binding to their receptors DR_3.
