【Objective】 To explore the changes of parameters of thromboelastogram (TEG) detection in patients with cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, and their correlation with routine coagulation indicators, and compare the two methods in detecting coagulation function and status in patients with cerebrovascular disease. 【Methods】 The detection data of 34 cases of cerebral infarction and 102 cases of cerebral hemorrhage, who underwent TEG and routine coagulation test in parallel, in Department of Neurosurgery of our hospital from January 1, 2018 to March 26, 2019 were collected. Fifty healthy subjects, who underwent TEG and routine coagulation tests in the same period, served as the control. The results of TEG and routine coagulation test of the 3 groups were compared and analyzed. 【Results】 Compared with cerebral hemorrhage (group) and the control, R value of cerebral infarction group decreased significantly, while the Angle angle, MA distance, CI value, Fib and D-D levels increased significantly(P<0.05); the K value, Fib, TT, and D-D of cerebral hemorrhage group increased significantly while Angle angle and MA distance decreased significantly compared with other two groups(P<0.05). The R value, K time (min), TT (s), D-D (mg/L), Angle angle (°), MA distance, CI value, and Fib (mmg/L) of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage group were 5.06±1.71 vs 6.95±4.34, 1.19±0.68 vs 3.43±1.46, 13.89±1.05 vs 18.63±1.25, 1.93±0.25 vs 2.63±0.45, 69.34±10.37 vs 56.54±10.48, 68.34±9.37 vs 54.35±7.48, 2.20±0.31 vs 0.78±0.41, and 380±70.02 vs 354±71.56 (P<0.05). In cerebral infarction group, the R value, APTT, Angle angle, MA, and CI values were positively correlated with Fib (P<0.05); while K time was negatively correlated with Fib ; MA distance with PT/TT; CI value with PT/APTT(P<0.05). In the cerebral hemorrhage group, the R value was positively correlated with PT/APTT; K time with TT; Angle with Fib (P<0.05); R value/K time were negatively correlated with Fib; Angle with TT; CI value with PT (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 For patients with cerebrovascular disease, there is no correlation between TEG indicators and the D-D level of routine coagulation tests; the Angle angle of patients with cerebrovascular disease is positively correlated with the elevated Fib; and MA distance is more useful for diagnosing cerebral infarction than cerebral hemorrhage. TEG is complementary to routine coagulation test, and can be used as a laboratory index for assessing the severity of cerebrovascular disease.

Twenty-six compounds, including sixteen meroterpenoids(1-16), a triterpenoid(17), four terpenoid derivatives(18-21), and five aromatic compounds(22-26), were isolated from the leaves of Psidium guajava. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic analyses including NMR and MS. Compounds 21-26 were obtained from plants of Psidium for the first time. Based on the structure,(R)-2-ethylhexyl 2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate(24 a), an α-glucosidase inhibitor recently isolated from Paramignya trimera, should be revised as compound 24. Meroterpenoids 1-16 were evaluated for their antitumor and antifungal activities. Meroterpenoids psiguajadial D(4), guapsidial A(5), 4,5-diepipsidial A(7), guadial A(14), and guadial B(15) showed cytotoxicities against five human tumor cell lines(HL-60, A-549, SMMC-7721, MCF-7, and SW-480), among which 5 was the most effective with an IC_(50) of 3.21-9.94 μmol·L~(-1).

Objective To investigate the production path of major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ chain-related gene A(MICA) antibodies and the impact on the therapeutic efficacy after acute rejection in renal transplantation recipients.Methods Luminex flow cytometry was used to detect antiMICA antibodies and the antibody specificity in 157 pre-transplant kidney transplant recipients randomly selected.The clinical data were collected,anti-MICA antibody production pathway and immunoglobulin types were analyzed,and the impact of IgM anti-MICA antibody and IgM&IgG complex anti-MICA antibodies on acute rejection (AR) incidence and therapeutic efficacy after renal transplantation.Results Of the total 157 recipients,19 recipients were positive for anti-MICA antibodies before renal transplantation in 68 recipients who had history of blood transfusion,pregnancy and transplant sensitized experience (27.9％ ); In 89 recipients having no sensitized experience,MICA antibodies were positive in 26 recipients (29.2％ ) (P＞0.05).In 45 anti-MICA antibody-positive recipients,the anti-MICA antibodies type was IgM in 26 cases having no sensitized experience; and that was IgG and IgM complex in 19 cases having sensitized experience.In 38 antiMICA antibody-positive recipients undergoing kidney transplantation,7 out of 22 IgM anti-MICA antibodies recipients had AR (31.8％) that was reversed by methylprednisolone pulse therapy,and 7out of 16 IgM&IgG complex anti-MICA antibodies recipients had AR (43.8％) and treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy:reversion in 3 recipients (42.9％),and the graft function loss in 4 recipients.The AR incidence was not associated with the two immunoglobulin types of MICA antibodies(P＞0.05),but there was significant difference in the reversal rate of AR (P＜0.05).Conclusion For non-allergenic history recipients,there exists the classic “natural antibodies” pathway in the production of the anti-MICA antibodies whose immunoglobulin type was IgM.In addition,the reversal effect of AR in recipients with IgM anti-MICA antibodies was much better.We need to attach importance to IgM&IgG complex anti-MICA antibodies for the pre-transplant anti-MICA antibodies in renal transplant recipients,because their AR treatment outcome is poor.

Expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its receptor (gp80、gp130) in 8 patients with Graves' disease (GD) were compared with those in 8 euthyroid patients with nodular goiter or benign thyroid adenoma. The thyroid tissues of GD expressed significantly higher IL-6 mRNA, gp130 mRNA and IL-6 protein than those of the control group, suggesting that activated IL-6/gp130 signal pathway in the thyroid tissue may contribute to the pathogenesis of GD.

Objective To study the influential factors of tacrolimus'dosage and concentration differences between individuals in morning periods after renal transplantation.Methods The clinical data consisted of 118 receptors in morning periods after renal transplantation,whose immune suppressions were tacrolimus,mycophenolate and hormone.At 3,7,14 and 30 d after operation,all the receptors'weight,dosage of tacrolimus,dosage of hormone,diarrhea,blood fat,liver function,renal function,albumn and erythrocrit were recorded respectively,and at the same time their concentrations of tacrolimus and genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A5,MDRl 3435,MDR1 2677 and MDRl 1236 weredetected.Multiple linear regressions were performed.Results The fitting degrees of stepwise regression equations were low.At 3,7,14 and 30 d after operation,the adjusted R2was 0.284,0.267,0.417 and 0.324,respectively.From the aspect of pharmacogenomics,the main factors rela-ted to the differences of tacrolimus'dosage and concentration included MDR1 2677,MDRl 1236 and MDR13435,which varied intensively.Age,albumn,renal function,blood fat and liver function were important factors too.Conclusions The main reasons of the differences of tacrolimus'dosage and concentration between individuals in morning periods after renal transplantation are medicines and changes of internal environment after operation.The genetic polymorphisms of MDR1,age,albumn,renal runetion.blood fat and liver function are important factors too.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of mastoparan-1 (MP-1) antagonizing lipopolysaecharide (LPS) in vitro. Methods The affinity of MP-1 for lipid A was assayed by biosensor, and the neutralization of MP-1 on LPS (2 μg/L) was detected by kinetic turbidimetric limulus test. After exposing fluorescin isothiecyanate (FITC) labeled LPS (FITC-LPS) to MP-1 at different concentrations (5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L), the binding of FITC-LPS to murine RAW264.7 cells was analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscopy. The influence of MP-1 on TLR4 expression in RAW264.7 cells stimulated by LPS (100 μg/L) was detected by immunoeytochemieal staining. The expressions of TLR4, TNF-α and IL-6 at the gene and protein level were detected by RT-PCR and ELISA after exposing LPS (100 μg/ L) stimulated RAW264.7 cells to MP-1 at different concentrations. The effect of MP-1 on the viability of RAW264.7 cells was detected by MTT assay. Results MP-1 had high affinity to lipid A and could neutralize LPS. MP-1 at 10 μmol/L significantly inhibited not only binding of FITC-LPS to RAW264.7 (P < 0.05), but also protein and gene expressions of TLR4, TNF-α and IL-6 in LPS stimulated RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). No toxic effect of MP-1 on the viability of RAW264.7 cells was found (P > 0.05). Conclusions MP-1 inhibits cell viability mediated by LPS, which may be related to its neutralization of LPS and inhibition of binding of LPS to RAW264.7 cell membrane receptors.
