In order to study T-bet function in mouse cells, a novel retroviral vector expressing mouse T-bet and reporter gene Thy1.1 was constructed. Retrovirus particles were then produced by transfection of the recombinant retroviral plasmid into a packaging cell line Platinum-E. The recombinant retrovirus played considerable infection ability. T-bet expression was then identified by FACS after infection of CD4+ primary T cells from T-bet knockout mouse with recombinant retrovirus. To determine if exogenous expressing T-bet has normal function, we checked the expression level of T-bet target gene, Ifng. IFN-y expression was upregulated in the T-bet knockout T cells infected with recombinant retrovirus. In conclusion, we successfully constructed an effective mouse T-bet recombinant retroviral vector.

Objective:To establish a diagnostic system for heat toxin syndrome of acute cere-bral infarction.Based on this toxin syndrome diagnostic system,the general principles of heat toxin development will be uncovered,and the critical turning point at which the heat toxin syndrome occurs will also be explored.Methods:In this study,a total of 271 hypertension patients with cerebral infarction within 72 h were recruited from the Affiliated Dongfang Hospital of the Beijing University of Chinese Med-icine,the Affiliated Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,the Affil-iated Renmin Hospital of Peking University,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the Affiliated Hospital of Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and China Meitan General Hospital from August,2008,to December,2009.The patients' Chi-nese medical information was recorded on days 1,3,5,7,and 14 during their hospitalizations.The medical records were recorded according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory and included the serum marker levels at the beginning and at the end of the trial.The time line was also analyzed.Results:The level of Hs-CRP,PAG,NSE,OX-LDL,and MMP-9 were abnormal and,were higher in CI patients compared to hypertension patients.In the study of the heat toxin diagnosis system,according to the entropy clustering results,30 combinations of the medical information can be sorted into the traditional syndromes,but 13 combinations cannot be sorted.To obtain more precise symptoms related to the heat toxins,a logistic regression equation was set up with the variables from the unsorted medical information;the dependent variables were fever and BP fluctuation.Weighted variables were obtained.MLP analysis demonstrated that the diagnosis model was stable and precise.The accuracy reached 83.82％.The ROC test showed that seven points of the diagnosis system was the best cutting point,with a sensitivity of 0.857 and a spec-ificity of 0.955.Progressing stroke was related to heat toxin syndrome.When the turning point appeared,the combination of symptoms,such as coma,aphasia,gummy eyes,and halitosis,predicted the deterioration or recovery of Cl.The heat toxin syndrome existed in every sub-type of Cl;however,the observed heat toxin levels were highest in PACl and lowest in LACl.Meanwhile,blood and sputum stasis syndromes transformed into heat toxicity were one source of heat toxin syndrome.Conclusion:Heat toxin syndrome,as well as qi/blood/sputum stasis,co-existed in the CI pa-tients,and the transformation frequently appeared during the process.Three to five days after the onset of Cl was the turning point,at which time several combinations of medical indicators make it possible to predict the development of Cl.

At present, diabetes mellitus has become an increasingly serious disease which affects public health in the word. Clinical treatment of diabetes is mainly based on oral hypoglycemic drugs, insulin injections and lifestyle interventions (diet and exercise) . The new intervention method targeting intestinal microflora opens up new ideas for diabetes treatment. This article reviews the application of new intestinal microbial therapy (probiotic treatment, oral prebiotics/synbiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation) and treatment by regulating intestinal microflora (bariatric surgery, antibiotic therapy and traditional Chinese medicine) in diabetes. This article also summarized the nursing intervention based on intestinal microbial therapy so as to improve the understanding of the relationship between intestinal microflora and diabetes, and provide a reference for treatment and nursing care for type 2 diabetes.

Objective To investigate the association between serum 25(OH)D3 and high sensitive C -reac-tive protein (hs-CRP),tumor necrosis factor -alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6) inflammatory markers in non-obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods From June 2015 to September 2015,in this cross-sectional study,120 non-obese patients with T2DM(female in 58 cases,male in 62 cases) in Taiyuan Central Hospital were selected as T2DM group,and 120 non-obese patients with T2DM and 96 healthy subjects ( control group) were recruited.The serum concentrations of glucose,HbA1c,insulin,25( OH) D3 and inflammatory markers including TNF-α,IL-6 and hs-CRP were measured.A homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was also evaluated.The clinical and biochemical characteristics of T 2DM were observed in the group of vitamin D deficien-cy group,vitamin D insufficiency group and vitamin D normal group.And the relativities were analyzed between it with hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6,HOMA-IR,INF,FBG,BMI,WHR,and so on.The relativities were observed between 25(OH)D3 with all the factors.Results The mean serum concentration of 25(OH)D3 in the non -obese T2DM group was (10.65 ±3.55)ng/mL,which was significantly lower than (18.44 ±5.21)ng/mL in the normal control group (t＝-6.84,P ＝0.012).The levels of serum TNF -αand IL -6 in the T2DM group were (15.51 ± 4.87)ng/L and (18.12 ±4.13) ng/L,respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(8.99 ±2.54)ng/L,(8.89 ±2.07)ng/L](t＝7.95,10.04,P＝0.017,0.007).The proportions of deficiency,insufficiency and normal of vitamin D in T2DM patients were 60.83%,31.67%and 7.50%,respectively .The levels of TNF-αand IL-6 in the serum 25(OH) D3 deficiency group were significantly higher than those in the normal 25(OH)D3 group [(17.93 ±4.94)ng/L vs.(10.30 ±4.52)ng/L,F＝6.897,P＝0.026;(20.14 ±4.99)ng/L vs. (16.39 ±5.06)ng/L,F＝10.589,P＝0.017].There was a significant correlation between serum 25(OH)D3 and HOMA-IR(r＝-0.041;P＝0.030),TNF-α(r＝-0.229;P＝0.040) and IL -6 levels (r＝-0.299;P＝0.032),but there was no significant correlation with inflammatory factor hs -CRP and fasting blood glucose. Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with T2DM,and systemic chronic inflammation may also play an important role in the pathogenesis of T 2DM.This study shows that vitamin D may play an important role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and chronic systemic inflammatory response,an important pathogenesis of T2DM.
