Heart failure is a syndrom of heart disease with high morbidity and mortality .There are more and more evidence indicating immune activation developing important role in the occurrence and development of heart failure . Interleukin (IL)‐35 ,known as a negative regulatory factor of one of the members of IL‐12 family ,participates pathogenetic process of heart failure .The present article made a review for influence of IL‐35 on heart failure .

Objective To establish a model of isoniazid induced necrosis and apoptosis in HepG2 cell and to observe the expressions of Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) in this model.Methods HepG2 cells were treated with different dosages of isoniazid (0,1,2,4,6 and 8 mg/mL) or blank control for 24 hours.Flow cytometer was used to observe the cellular morphology of the HepG2 cell.Annexin V/propidium iodide double staining and flow cytometry were employed to detect the necrosis and apoptosis of HepG2 cells.The expressions of Fas/FasL on the cells were also determined by flow cytometry.The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA.The comparisons between the drug groups and the control group were performed by using Dunnett t test. Results The higher the dose of isoniazid (4,6,8 mg/mL) was,the more necrosis and apoptosis were observed.In the 4,6 and 8mg/mL isoniazid arms,the total mortality rates were all higher than the control group [(32.1 ±7.5)％,(34.9±8.1)％,(38.2±9.4)％ vs (7.2±1.5)％ respectively](t=4.62,5.14 and 5.75,respectively; all P＜0.01 ).The expression levels of Fas increased along with the dose of isoniazid increasing [(8.7±2.2)％,(11.5±2.8)％,(12.3±3.0)％ and (10.6±2.9)％ in isoniazid 2,4,6and 8 mg/mL arms,respectively],which were all higher than that in control arm [(3.1 ±0.8) ％](t=2.97,P＜0.05; t=4.46,P＜0.01; t=4.88,P＜0.01; t=3.98,P＜0.05).Furthermore,the expressions of FasL increased as well when the dose of isoniazid increased.The expression levels of FasL were (16.2±3.5)％,(21.7±4.8)％ and (18.7±4.9)％,respectively in isoniazid 4,6 and 8 mg/mL arms,which were all higher than that in the control group [(7.4±1.4)％](t=3.11,P＜0.01; t=5.06,P＜0.01; t=3.99,P＜0.05).HepG2 cell necrosis increased with isoniazid of 8 mg/mL.However,the increase of apoptosis was not observed.Conclusion Isoniazid can induce HepG2 cell necrosis and apoptosis,and the apoptosis may be related with the increased expressions of the Fas/FasL on the cells.

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection of adrenal neurilemmoma.Methods The data of 7 cases with adrenal neurilemmoma undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection were analyzed.2 cases were diagnosed by ultrasound scan,3 cases had blood pressure elevation,and 2 cases had pain in waist and abdomen.All cases underwent ultrasound and CT scan.The neurilemmoma was located in left adrenal area in 2 cases and located in right adrenal area in 5 cases.Results All the 7 cases were successfully operated.No conversion or severe blood loss happened.The average tumor size was 5.0 cm,ranging from 3.0 to 7.0 cm.The average operation time was 75 min,ranging from 45 to 120 min.The estimated blood loss was 50 ml,ranging from 20 to 100 ml.The patients were discharged 7-8 day after the operation.During the 2-12 months of follow-up,no recurrence or metastasis was found.Conclusion Retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection offers an effective and better treatment for adrenal neurilemmoma,with the advantages of less blood loss,less trauma,and faster recovery.

OBJECTIVETo observe the acupoint distribution and clinical efficacy of lumbar disc herniationi (LDH) with different sensitive types.

METHODSEighty patients with LDH were randomly divided into a heat-sensitive moxibustion group (group A), a heat-sensitive acupuncture group (group B), a force-sensitive acupuncture group (group C) and a force-sensitive moxibustion group (group D), 20 cases in each one. In the group A and the group B, moxibustion and acupuncture were applied at two or three heat-sensitive acupoints separately. In the group C and the group D,acupuncture and moxibustion were used at two or three force-sensitive acupoints respectively. The treatment was given once a day, totally 10 times. The distribution law of the heat-sensitive acupoints and the force-sensitive acupoints and the change of M-JOA before and after treatment were recorded in the four groups.

RESULTSThe frequent heat-sensitive acupoints areas of LDH were at Yaoyangguan (GV 3), Dachangshu (BL 25), Zhiyang(GV 9), Guanyuanshu(BL 26) and Weizhong(BL 40). The major force-sensitive acupoints areas were at Shenshu (BL 23), Dachangshu (BL 25), Tianshu (ST 25), Guilai (ST 29) and Weizhong (BL 40). After treatment, the heat-sensitive acupoints in the group A and the group B were all reduced than those before treatment and the force-sensitive acupoints in the group C and the group D were declined as well (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). The M-JOA scores were obviously lower than those before treatment in the four groups (all P < 0.01). The score in the group A was reduced more apparently than that in the group B (P < 0.05). The score in the group C was declined more markedly than that in the group D (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThere are diverse acupoints for LDH patients due to different sensitive types. All forms of stimulation can change the functional state of acupoints. Moxibustion is more suitable for heat-sensitive acupoints and acupuncture is optimal for force-sensitive acupoints.

Objective To investigate whether RelB-silenced bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) pulsed with torpedo acetylcholine receptor (TAChR) immuno-dominant peptide Tα_(146～162) can induce tolerance in T cells primed with TAChR. Methods Recombinant lentivirus that produced RelB siRNA and control lentivirus were prepared and used to infect BMDCs. The infected BMDCs were stimulated with LPS,and the resulting cells were designated as DC-siRelB or DC-control, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression of RelB were examined by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. Cell surface markers of DC were evaluated by flow cytometry. IL-12 in the supernatant was detected by ELISA. Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: A1, A2, A3,K1, K2, and K3. On day 0, group A1, A2, and A3 were primed with TAChR in CFA and group K1, K2 and K3 were primed with KLH+CFA. On day 7, group A2 and K2 were injected with Tα_(146～162) pulsed DC-siRelB, group A3 and K3 were injected with Tα_(146～162) pulsed DC-control, while A1 and K1 group received PBS at the same time. On day 14, lymphocyte proliferative response of the 4 groups were measured. Results Recombinant lentivirus including RelBshRNA genes was successfully constructed. RelB siRNA knocked down RelB expression in BMDCs obviously. Compared with DC-control, DC-siRelB expressed a significantly lower level of CD80, CD86, and MHC class II on their surface, producing lower level of IL-12. Compared with group A1 and A3, lymphocyte proliferative response to TAChR of A2 group was suppressed significantly (P<0.05). No different lymphocyte proliferative responses to KLH and ConA were seen in group A1, A2 and A3 (P>0.05). No different lymphocyte proliferative responses were seen in group K1, K2 and K3 (P>0.05). Conclusion Lentiviral-mediated RelB-silenced BMDCs are maturation resistant and can induce antigen-specific tolerance in TAChR primed C57BL/6 mice,which provides a basis for further study of their therapeutic potential in myasthenia gravis.

Objective To evaluate long-term efficacy of microwave hyperthermia combined with chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with cervical lymph node metastasis. Methods A total of 154 patients with stage N2 or N3 NPC ('92 staging system) were randomized into two groups:microwave hyperthermia combined with chemoradiotherapy (Group A, 76 cases) and chemoradiotherapy alone (Group B, 78 cases). Both of the two groups received 1 -2 cycles of chemotherapy of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil, followed by conventional radiotherapy of 70 - 78 Gy in 35 - 39 fraction to the nasopharynx and 68 -72 Gy in 34 - 36 fractions to the neck. Group A received microwave hyperthermia to the metastatic cervical nodes at the beginning of radiotherapy. The hyperthermia was given as 45 min every time, twice a week for 8 - 14 times totally. Results The 5-year complete response rates of cervical lymph nodes in group A and B were 97% and 77% (x2 = 14. 24,P<0. 01). The distant metastasis rates in the two groups were 37% and 44% (x2 = 0. 73, P > 0. 05). The disease-free survival rates were 51% and 21% (x2 = 15.91, P <0. 01). The 5-year overall survival rates were 59% and 41%, respectively (x2 = 5.09, P < 0. 05).Conclusions For patients with stage N2 or N3 NPC, microwave hyperthermia combined with chemoradiotherapy can improve the complete response, disease-free survival and overall survival.
