Objective To know how large platelets influnece the platelet count difference of the optical and impedance methods so as to provide the support for the reasonable application of optical method and effectively increasing the accuracy of platelet count.Methods 132 blood routine specimens with normal RBC parameters were anaylzed by both electrical impedance and optical methods with the Sysmex-XE5000 fully automativ hematology analyzer.The data were divided into the large platelet group and the normal platelet group according to the platlet-large cell ratio(P-LCR)results.The RBC and platelet parameters were compared be-tween the two groups with the unpaired t-test and the platelet count results detected by the optical and electrical impedance methods were compared within group with the paired t-test.Results The extremely significant differences of platelet parameters existed be-tween the two groups.The P-LCR,MPV,PDW and IPF % of the large platelet group were significantly higher than those of the normal platelet group,but the RBC parameters had no obvious difference.The significant difference of the platelet count also existed between the electrical impedance and optical methods in the large platelet group(P <0.05 ),the platelet count results detected by the electrical impedance method was on the low side,but the normal platelet group had no significant difference.Conclusion P-LCR increase is related with the increase of immature platelet.The electrical impadence method conducts the differentiation according to the granular size,which is easy to exclude the large platelel with larger volume and leads to reduce the platelet count results.There-fore,when P-LCR is increased,the optical method should be adopted in conducting the platelet count for avoiding the false reduce caused by the electrical impedance method.

This study was aimed to observe the influence of Discornin Tablets on activation nuclear transcription factor NF-κBp65 of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cell model as well as the expression of MMP-9, VEGF and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Interleukin-17 (IL-17) and TNF-α were used for stimulating RSC-364 cells. Discornin Tablets at different concentrations were used for intervention. The influence of Discornin Tablets in different concentrations on cell viability was detected by MTT method. Expressions of NF-κBp65 and its inhibitory protein (IκB-α) in each group were detected by western blot method. Changes in VEGF, MMP-9 and TNF-α protein levels in cell broth supernatant were checked by ELISA. The results showed that Discornin Tablets can promote the expression of κB inhibitory pro-tein, reduce the high expression of NF-κB protein level, and inhibit the cellular secretion of VEGF, MMP-9 and TNF-α. It was concluded that Discornin Tablets had negative regulation effect on nuclear transcription factor κB of RSC-364 cells. It can increase the expression of IκB-α, as well as reduce the secretion of inflammation factors and blood vessel newborn factors. It suggested that Discornin Tablets may have the potential regulation effect on RA.

Objective:Autoimmune mechanisms, including cellular and humoral immune, are likely to participate in the pathogenesis of at least a subgroup of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy(IDC), in which cellular immune-mediated one plays a more important role. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4(CTLA-4) is the major negative regulatory factor of cellular immunity. This study was conducted to investigate the association of CTLA-4 gene promoter -318C/T polymorphism, exon 1 A/G polymorphism and 3′ untranslated region microsatellite polymorphism with susceptibility to IDC in Han Chinese.Methods:Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms(PCR-RFLP) techniques were used to analyze the polymorphisms of CTLA-4 promoter -318, exon 1 A/G and 3′ untranslated region in the unrelated Han ethnic population in Heilongjiang Province(including 72 IDC patients and 100 normal controls). Serum sCTLA-4 was tested by ELISA. The relationship of CTLA-4 genotype and alleles frequencies with sCTLA-4 was evaluated by linear regression analysis.Results:Compared with controls, the frequencies of GG genotype(0.604 2 and 0.739 6, P=0.012) and the G allele(0.360 0 and 0.560 0, P=0.008) were significantly increased in patients with IDC. Increased serum sCTLA-4 was found in the IDC group compared with the controls[(1.87?1.06)?g/L vs (0.54?0.19)?g/L, P
