Objective To investigate the changes of dendritic cell subsets and CD 80,CD86 expression in peripher-al blood in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and to evaluate the changes of serum interleukin -2(IL-2), serum interleukin-4(IL-4), serum interleukin-10(IL-10) and interferon-γ(IFN-γ) before and after dexam-ethasone treatment, overall, further analyzing the relationship between them and dexamethasone .Methods Collec-ting blood samples of 60 ITP patients and 10 normal controls with heparin anticoagulation , and distribution of den-dritic cell subsets of ITP and normal controls was detected by flow cytometry , and the changes of serum IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γwere detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The percentage of DC2 was increased in ITP patients compared with the control group (P <0.05) and there was no statistically significont difference after dexamethasone treatment ; the expressions of CD80 on DC1 and DC2 were increased compared with the control group(P <0.05), as well as the expression of CD86 on DC2 and the percentage of them decreased after treatment.The serum IL-2, IFN-γlevels before the dexamethasone treatment were higher than the normal control group(P <0.05),then decreased after treatment.However, the serum IL-4, IL-10 levels were lower than the nor-mal control group before the treatment (P <0.05), increased after treatment.Conclusion The disorder of the number and function of DCs and the changes of the serum IL -2, IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γlevels may play important roles in the pathogenesis of ITP.Moreover, there is a probable key relationship between them and the effects of dexamethasone treatment.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy of postauricular injection of shuxuening combined with lidocaine in treating intermediate and high-frequency sudden hearing loss.METHODS48 patients with intermediate and high-frequency sudden hearing loss were randomly divided into postaurical injection group (n=24) and control group (n=24). The control group was given hormone, microcirculation improvement, nutrition of nerve and other conventional treatment. The postauricular injection group received 3 doses of postauricular inject of 0.5ml shuxuening and 0.3ml lidocaine tertian injection in addition to conventional treatments.RESULTSTwo weeks after administration, the total effective rates of postauricular injection group 87.5%were significantly higher than that of the control group 62.5%. Pure tone average improved (20.74±15.19)dB on average in the postauricular group, and (12.44±9.12)dB in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONPostauricular injection of shuxuening combined with lidocaine treatment for intermediate and high-frequency sudden hearing loss has better curative effect than that of the conventional treatment.

AIM: To investigate the role of fatty acid translocase/CD36 (FAT/CD36) in adipose tissue in-flammation induced by a high-fat diet.METHODS:C57BL/6J mice were fed with a normal-chow diet ( NCD) or a high-fat diet ( HFD) for 14 weeks.The content of free fatty acid ( FFA) in the serum was measured by ELISA.The expression of CD36, cytokines and chemokines at mRNA and protein levels in the adipose tissues was determined by real-time poly-merase chain reaction and Western blotting.Immunohistochemical staining was used to examine the macrophages infiltration in the adipose tissues.The inflammatory responses in CD36 knockout mice and wild type mice with high-fat diet were ana-lyzed.RESULTS:The levels of FAT/CD36 were higher in HFD group than that in NCD group.HFD feeding enhanced the mRNA and protein expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1 and MIP-1, as well as promoted macrophage infiltration in the adipose tissues.Interestingly, as fed with HFD, the expression of cytokines/chemokines and macrophage infiltration were significantly reduced in adipose tissues of the CD36 knockout mice, compared with the wild type mice.CONCLU-SION:High-fat diet promotes adipose tissue inflammation in the mice in a FAT/CD36-dependent manner.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of dose verification of intensity modulated (IM) planning of helical tomotherapy (HT) using two-dimensional ion chamber array (2DICA),and develop an efficient way to validate the dose delivered under the parameters mirroring those during the treatment. Meth-ods A 2DICA,I'mRT MatriXX and MULTICube equivalent solid water phantom from IBA company were used to verify the dose distribution of 10 IM planning. The combined phantom was set up to measure the dose distributions on coronal and sagittal surface. The precise setup of phantom was guided by HTMVCT images. After the irradiation, the measured dose distributions on the coronal and sngittal plane were compared with those calculated by the IM planning system for verification. The results were evaluated and the feasibility of the different measuring methods was studied. Results The dose distribution measured by the MatriXX 2DICA was well consistent with that calculated by the treatment planning system. The errors between the measured dose and predicted dose in the selected points were within ±3%. In the comparison of the pixel-segmented ionization chamber versus treatment planning system using the 3 mm/3% γ criteria, the passing ratio of pixels with γ parameter ≤1 was 97.76% and 96.83%, respectively. Conclusions MatriXX is a-ble to measure the absolute and relative dose distributions simultaneously,which can be used for dose verifi-cation of IM planning.
