Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease.Atherosclerotic plaque rupture and thrombosis may result in cardio-cerebrovascular events.Inflammatory mediator CD40L widely exists in cells associated with atherosclerosis.They participate in plaque inflammatory response,release proinflammatory cytokines,degrade extracellular matrix,improve procoagulant activity,and promote the progression of atherosclerosis and plaque vulnerability.Intervening CD40/CD40L signaling system may become an effective treatment strategy to slow the progress of atherosclerosis and stabilize atherosclerotic plaques.

Activator protein-1(AP-1) is a collective term referring to dimeric transcription factors composed of Jun protein family and Fos protein family that bind to the AP-1 sites of many genes,also known as TPA-responsive elements.AP-1 involves in the gene transcriptional regulation of a large number of growth factors and cytokines and leads to a series of physiological and pathophysiological changes of the body.Increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between AP-1 and the allergic diseases in recent years.This article reviewed the structure?activation of AP-1,and the relationship between AP-1 and the allergic diseases.

Objective To analyze the causes of medical disputes and to find an effective way to reduce medical malpractice and medical dispute.Methods The complete identification files of 251 cases of medical malpractice obtained from corresponding Offices of Technical Identification of Medical Malpractice in three cities at prefecture level in Shandong province were analyzed to compare the cause of medical malpractice identified by patients with that identified by experts.Results The main causes that identified by patients included violation(36.41%),default(35.60%),illegality(13.05%),tort(11.89%),and absence of management(3.05%).Among the litigation claims,58.53%were identified as existed factors causing disputes.Among the identified factors,72.66%should have been prevented and controlled.Conclusion Medical malpractice and medical dispute can be effectively prevented and controlled by putting management site forward,ensuring the implemention of the policies,and strengthening the substantive responsibility of the leadership.

Objective To study the standardization of medical records writing by residents in hospitals. Methods With both quantitative and qualitative analysis, medical records made by residents were sampled in groups to study their standardization. Results Recognition rate of such medical records was 82. 55%, and the excellence rate was 24. 50% in the grade evaluation. For senior residents, their rate of writing excellence falls below those of junior ones; whether the evaluators have medical background bears no significant difference for grade evaluation of medical records writing, yet a significant difference was found with the recognition rate. Conclusion Writing of medical records by residents is found with incompliance now and then, and the recognition rate ought to be improved.

Cathepsin S is one of the cathepsins that distributes generally at lysosomes of histiocyte in humans body.It has variety of actions when it is unbalancing,including promote inflammation,atherosclerosis,diabetes and obesity,etc.Studies in recent years have demonstrated that there are certain correlations of adiponectin with vascular risk factor and cerebrovascular disease.

Objective To observe the variation of the levels of γδT cells,CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in patients with acute and subacute brucellosis before and after treatment.Methods A total of 159 patients with brucellosis were enrolled from the Second People's Hospital of Tianjin between September 2009 and August 2014,of which 122 were with acute phase and 37 with subacute stage.γδT cells,CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood of all patients before and after treatment were detected by flow cytometry.Thirty healthy controls were also enrolled.Measurement data were analyzed using t test and nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test.Results The medians of γδT cells,CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte counts of brucellosis patients with acute stage before treatment were 84.0/μL,780.5/μL and 774.0/μL,respectively,and those with subacute stage were 76.0/μL,887.0/μL and 890.0/μL,respectively.Those in control group were 49.0/μL,772.5/μL and 592.5/μL,respectively.γδT cells (U=114.5,P =0.001) and CD8+ T lymphocyte counts (U=1 185.5,P =0.003) in acute phase group were elevated than control group.γδT cells (U=359.0,P=0.013),CD4+ T lymphocyte counts (U=325.5,P=0.004) and CD8+ T lymphocyte counts (U=316.5,P=0.003) in subacute phase group were increased than control group.CD4+ T lymphocyte counts in subacute phase group were elevated than acute phase group (U=1 619.0,P=0.009).There were 31 patients with acute phase and 30 patients with subacute phase who completed 6-week treatment.γδT cells ([120.7 ± 104.9]/μL vs [82.2 ±85.3]/μL;t=3.568,P=0.001),CD4+ T lymphocyte ([802.1±300.6]/μL vs [663.0±280.6]/μL;t=2.904,P=0.007) and CD8+ T lymphocytes counts ([908.1±422.7]/μL vs [651.1±241.7]/μL;t=3.885,P=0.001) of brucellosis patients with acute stage before and after treatment were significantly different.γδT cells ([67.1± 38.4]/μL vs [48.4±32.1]/μL;t=2.695,P=0.012),CD4+ T lymphocytes ([817.1± 147.4]/μL vs [650.8± 196.5]/μL;t=5.301,P＜0.01) and CD8+ T lymphocytes counts ([703.7±191.5]/μL vs [537.4±186.0]/μL;t=5.152,P＜0.01) of brucellosis patients with subacute stage after treatment were significantly decreased compared with those of patients before treatment.Conclusions γδT cells,CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in patients with acute and subacute brucellosis are all in a state of immune activation.The levels of activation are highly correlated with disease progression.And detection of the variation of these cells contributes to understand the immune state of the acute and subacute brucellosis.

AIM: To investigate the effect of treatment based on syndrome differentiation only and combined with Shexiang Baoxin Pill for acute ischemic stroke(AIS). METHODS: Fifty-eight cases of AIS were randomly (allocated) to two groups.Thirty cases of group A were treated with treatment based on syndrome differentiation combined with Shexiang Baoxin Pill and twenty-eight cases of group B with the treatment based on syndrone differentiation. Therapeutic effects were observed in one month after medication. RESULTS: The total effective rate was 90% in group A and 89.3% in group B, the difference being not significant. However, the difference of markedly-effective rate was significant (P
