The role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) was investigated. A mouse model of experimental autoimmune hepatitis was established, and the syngeneic S-100 antigen emulsified in complete Freud's adjuvant was injected intraperitoneally into adult male C57BL/6 mice. The IL-17 expression in serum and the livers of the mice models was detected by using ELISA and immunohistochemistry, respectively. IL-17 neutralizing antibody was used to study the biological effect of IL-17 in the experimental AIH. IL-17 neutralizing antibody in vivo administration alleviated the hepatic inflammation and ALT level in the AIH model. IL-17 in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of AIH patients was measured by using real-time PCR method. The results showed that IL-17 level was significantly up-regulated in AIH patients and mice models. It was concluded that IL-17 contributed to the development of AIH and might be a potential therapeutic target of AIH.

Differential gene expression profiles in Balb/cJ mouse model of acute hepatic failure infected with MHV-3 virus intervened by anti-hepatic failure compound (AHFC) and the changes of cytokines regulated by genes were investigated. The Balb/cj mice were divided into AHFC-intervened group and control group randomly. Acute hepatic failure model of Balb/cJ mice infected with MHV-3 virus was established. The survival rate in the two groups was observed. It was found that the survival rate in the AHFC-intervened group and control group was 90% and 50% respectively 48 h after intraperitoneal injection of MHV-3 (P<0.05). Before and after the experiment, the cytokines in peripheral blood of the survival mice were determined, and RNA was extracted from survival mouse liver tissue for the analysis of the differential gene expression by a 36 kb mouse oligonucleotide DNA array. In all the genes of microarray there were 332 genes expressed differently in the two groups, in which 234 genes were up-regulated and 78 genes down-regulated. Through clustering analysis, the differential expression of immune related genes, including TNF receptor superfamily, Kctd9, Bcl-2, Fgl2, IL-8, IL-6, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha etc. might be related with the curative effectiveness of AHFC. It was suggested that AHFC can balance the immune state of mouse model of acute hepatic failure infected with MHV-3 virus mainly through regulating the expression of immune related genes, decrease the immune damage and inhibit liver cell apoptosis of mouse acute hepatic failure model obviously so as to increase the survival rate of mouse models of acute hepatic failure.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency thermocoagulation guided by three-dimensional computer tomography(3-D CT)for the treatment of severe recurrent glossopharyngeal neuralgia(GPN). Methods Twenty-nine patients of both sexes with recurrent intractable GPN, aged 42-75 yr, with recurrent course of 1-8 yr, of Barrow Neurological Institute(BNI)Pain Scale(BNI-P) class Ⅳ or Ⅴ, were enrolled in this study. Percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation was applied to the middle and lower segment of the styloid process of the glossopharyngeal nerve under 3D CT guidance. Before operation and at 72 h, 6 months and 1 year after operation, BNI-P class and BNI Numbness Scale scores were recorded, and effective treatment and operation-related complications were also recorded. Re-sults Nineteen patients underwent one operation, 8 patients underwent two operations, and 2 patients un-derwent three operations. BNI-P class was significantly lower at each time point after operation than before operation(P<0.05). The rate of effective treatment was 100% at 72 h and 6 months after operation and 97% at 1 yr after operation. Different degrees of dysesthesias at the posterior part of the tongue on the affect-ed side occurred after operation and disappeared at 1 yr after operation. Operation-related nausea and vomi-ting, facial nerve damage, accessory nerve damage and fatality were not observed. Conclusion 3D CT-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the glossopharyngeal nerve provides reliable efficacy and higher safety for the patients with severe recurrent GPN.
