Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical application of BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity) index in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Forty patients with stable COPD in Xuanwu Hospital of Beijing during September 2003 to December 2007, were recruited in the study, including 25 men and 15 women, aged 38 to 85 years (with a mean of 62 ± 13 years). BODE index was measured for each patient, one year and three years after recruitment, respectively. Severity of COPD, including number and duration of episodes, length of each hospital stay and times of hospitalization due to acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), were recorded. All data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software for windows. Results ①There was a remarkable difference in COPD severity between patients with BODE score equal to or greater than five and these with less than five (P <0.01 ). ①BODE score inversely correlated with forced expired volume at the first second ( FEV1 ) in COPD patients (P < 0.01 for those with BODE score equal to or greater than five and P <0.05 for these with BODE score less than five, respectively). ③BODE score positively correlated with number and duration of acute exacerbation, length of hospital stay and times of hospitalization due to AECOPD (P <0. 01 for those with BODE score equal to or greater than five and P < 0. 05 for those with BODE score less than five, respectively). For patients with COPD, their BODE score in the first year positively correlated with that in the third year ( r = 0.834, P < 0.01 ). Conclusions BODE index is a better indicator to evaluate their condition severity in patients with COPD.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical effect of the double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision and with three minimal incisions. Methods: From Jul. 2010 to May 2012, 268 cases (Group A) received double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision, while 102 cases (Group B) underwent double eyelid blepharoplasty with three minimal incisions. Photos were taken immediately, and 1,2, 4, 8,12 weeks after operation. Operation time, recovery time and postoperative complications were evaluated and recorded. The operation time and recovery time were analyzed by Wilcoxon rank sum test. The postoperative complications were analyzed by chi square test. The satisfactory degree was analyzed by t test.
RESULTSThe operation time in Group A was (25.63 ± 3.74) min, compared with that (29.90 ± 4.13) min in Group B (Z = -8.011, P <0.01). Meanwhile, the recovery time in Group A was shorter than that in Group B (Z = -15.887, P <0.01). The occurrence rate of postoperative complications,including hematoma,recurrence and scar hyperplasia in Group A was also lower than that in Group B. At the same time, the satisfactory degree in Group A was(97.302 ± 1.764), which was higher than that(88.628 10.880) in Group B (t = 12.650, P <0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe double eyelid blepharoplasty with central minimal incision, which is suitable for all cases except those who has serious blepharochalsais, has more advantages than double eyelid blepharoplasty with three minimal incisions.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of natural killer cells(NK cells)in immune dysfunction in sepsis by monitoring the phenotype and function of periphery NK cells in patients with sepsis. Methods A retrospective study was conducted. The patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS,n=59)or sepsis(n=65)admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Anhui Provincial Hospital from August 2011 to August 2013 were enrolled. Blood samples were collected within 48 hours after intensive care unit(ICU)admission,the phenotype and function of periphery NK cells were determined by flow cytometry. Twenty-eight healthy people served as controls. Results The proportion and number of peripheral blood CD3-CD56+NK cells in SIRS and sepsis groups were normal,and no statistical difference was found when compared with those of the healthy control group〔cell proportion:0.102±0.019,0.102±0.108 vs. 0.106±0.018,F=0.018,P=0.982;cell number(×106/L):182.46±65.98, 172.97±63.51 vs. 179.25±60.44,F=0.349,P=0.706〕. It was shown by NK cell degranulation detection that there was no significant difference in the expression of CD107 and interferon-γ(IFN-γ)secretion〔CD107:0.135±0.050,0.140±0.058,0.128±0.070,F=0.583,P=0.560;IFN-γ(kU/L):14.36±4.74,12.49±4.21, 13.45±5.04,F=1.616,P=0.202〕among healthy control group,SIRS group,and sepsis group. It was shown by antibody dependent cytotoxic effect(ADCC)test that there was no difference in the expression of CD107 among healthy control group,SIRS group,and sepsis group(0.574±0.166,0.643±0.165,0.581±0.157,F=0.808,P=0.448). When compared with healthy controls,the secretion of IFN-γwas increased in SIRS patients(kU/L:40.5±13.2 vs. 28.4±9.6,P=0.001),while reduced in sepsis patients(kU/L:19.8±6.7 vs. 28.4±9.6,P<0.01). Compared with SIRS group,only NK cell surface inhibitory receptors CD158e(KIR 3DL1)expression in sepsis group was significantly increased(0.203±0.057 vs. 0.079±0.021,t=15.762,P<0.001),and there were no significant differences in the other phenotype between the two groups. Compared with SIRS group,the IFN-γproduction of the sepsis group was significantly lowered(kU/L:0.280±0.040 vs. 0.310±0.038,t=3.390,P=0.009),and the level of IL-12 was also significantly decreased(ng/L:0.15±0.03 vs. 0.30±0.08,t=32.832,P<0.001). Conclusion It was showed by NK cell phenotype and function assay that the function of NK cells in patients with sepsis was impaired and led to a poor production of IFN-γ. The IFN-γmediated immune dysfunction may be a main reason for the disorder of NK cell function,which laid the foundation of the clinical immune intervention practice to improve to NK cell function.

Objective To investigate the expression of miRNA associated with hepatic fibrosis induced by Schistosoma ja-ponicum soluble egg antigen stimulation in mouse hepatocytes(AML12),so as to lay the foundation for clarifying the mecha-nism of schistosome infection leading to hepatic fibrosis. Methods The expressions of miR-122,miR-182,miR-23b,miR-27b and KSRP in AML12 cells treated with SEA were measured by q-PCR. KSRP protein in cell lyses was measured by Western blotting. AML12 cells were transfected with miR-27b precursor or anti-miR-27b for 24 h,then q-PCR was adopted to determine KSRP mRNA,and KSRP protein was detected by Western blotting. Results The expressions of miR-182,miR-23b and miR-27b were decreased and miR-122 was increased in AML12 cells following SEA treatment(all P<0.05). An increase of mRNA and protein of KSRP expression was also observed in AML12 cells after SEA stimulation(both P<0.05). In addition,KSRP mRNA expression was not changed significantly in AML12 cells transfected with anti-miR-27b or miR-27b precursor,and miR-27b precursor reduced KSRP protein expression as compared with the control. In contrast,the expression of KSRP protein was increased in the anti-miR-27b group and decreased in the miR-27b precursor group. Conclusions After the stimulation of SEA,the expressions of a variety of liver fibrosis-related miRNAs and KSRP change in murine hepatocytes,including miR-27b. And miR-27b can regulate the expression of KSRP. These findings might lay a foundation for further study on the molecular mechanism of fibrosis induced by schistosome infection.
