OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Danlou Tablet (DT) on arrhythmia model rats induced by transient myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R).

METHODSTotally 45 healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, the sham-operation group, the model group, and the DT group, 15 in each group. Rats in the sham-operation group and the model group were administered with distilled water by gastrogavage at the daily dose of 0.1 mL/kg. Rats in the DT group was administered with 0.53 g/mL DT suspension by gastrogavage at the daily dose of 0.1 mL/kg. All medication was lasted for 10 successive days. The myocardial I/R experiment was performed at 1 h after the last gastrogavage. ECG was performed before ligation and at I/R. The jugular arterial blood pressure of all rats was measured during the whole course. ST segment changes were observed at each time point of I/R. The ventricular fibrillation, the premature ventricular, the number and the duration of ventricular tachycardia within 30 min reperfusion were also observed. Activities of Na(+)-K+ ATPase and Ca2+ ATPase in the myocardium homogenate were detected as well.

RESULTSThe jugular arterial blood pressure and the heart rate were slightly lower in the DT group than in the model group, but with no statistical difference (P > 0.05). Compared with the sham-operation group, the degree of ST segment was obviously elevated in the model group at 0, 5, and 7 min (P < 0.05). It was significantly lower in the DT group than in the model group (P < 0.01). ST seg ment was more elevated at 5 min than at 0 min in the model group, but the degree of ST segment elevation was still obviously lower in the DT group than in the model group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the degree of ST segment elevation at 7 min between the two groups (P > 0.05). At 0 min when the decrement of ST segment exceeded one half the ischemia, there was no statistical difference in the degree of myocardial ischemia between the model group and the DT group (P > 0.05). Compared with the model group, the incidence of fatal and nonfatal ventricular fibrillation, the frequency and duration of ventricular tachycardia and premature ventricular beats were obviously lessened, and activities of Na(+)-K+ ATPase and Ca(2+)-ATPase increased (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSDT could significantly protect arrhythmias induced by transient I/R. Its effect might be related to lowering the degree of myocardial ischemia, and increasing ion transport channel related enzyme activities.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between the level of CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells in periphend blood and disease severity in patients with sepsis.Methods Thirty-six septic patients and 5healthy controls were enrolled.Septic patients were divided into sepsis group(n=10),severe sepsis group (n=15)and septic shock group(n=11).The lymphocyte was seperated from peripheral blood and marked by PE-CD4 and FTTC-CD25 monoclonal antibody,the level of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells was detected by flow cytometry,and the clinical data of APACHE Ⅱ scores of septic patients was considered in 24 hours.The correlation between level of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in peripheral blood and APACHE Ⅱ scores in septic patients was analyzed.Results Compared with the healthy controls [(5.48±0.98)%],the level of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in sepsis group(10.31±2.32)%,severe sepsis group(14.27 43.33)%,septic shock group(15.32±3.98)% had a significant increase(P＜0.05 or＜0.01).The log value of regulatory T cells in each group correlated positively with the APACHE Ⅱ scores(r=0.829,P=0.032;r=0.868,P=0.021;r=0.913,P=0.009),and the total coefficient of correlation was 0.903(P=0.013).Conclusion The level of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in peripheral blood in septic patients has an abnormal increase,and their levels are related with the severity of disease.

This study aimed to investigate the immune adjuvant effect and mechanism induced by chitosan nanoparticles carrying pJME/GM-CSF. In this study, plasmid DNA (pJME/GM-CSF) was encapsulated in chitosan to prepare chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles using a complex coacervation process. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the type of infiltrating cells at the site of intramuscular injection. The phenotype and functional changes of splenic DCs were measured by flow cytometry after different immunogens were injected intramuscularly. The killing activity of CTLs was assessed using the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. The preparation of chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles matched the expected theoretical results. Our results also found that, after pJME/GM-CSF injection, the incoming cells were a mixture of macrophages, neutrophils, and immature DCs. Meanwhile, pJME/GM-CSF increased the expression of MHC class II molecules on splenic DCs, and enhanced their Ag capture and presentation functions. Cell-mediated immunity was induced by the vaccine. Furthermore, chitosan-pJME/GM-CSF nanoparticles outperformed the administration of standard pJME/GM-CSF in terms of DC recruitment, antigen processing and presentation, and vaccine enhancement. These findings reveal that chitosan could be used as delivery vector for DNA vaccine intramuscular immunizations, and enhance pJME/GM-CSF-induced cellular immune responses.

OBJECTIVETo study the biomechanical relationship between iliac rotation displacement and L(4,5) disc degeneration, and to provide clinical evidences for the prevention and treatment of L(4,5) disc degeneration and herniation.

METHODSFrom March 2012 to February 2014,68 patients with lumbar disc herniation combined with sacroiliac joint disorders were selected. Among them, 42 patients with L(4,5) disc herniation combined with sacroiliac joint disorders included 22 males and 20 females, ranging in age from 19 to 63 years old, with an average of (51.78 +/- 20.18) years old, and the duration of the disease ranged from 1 to 126 months with an average of (11.18 +/- 9.23) months. Twenty-six patients with L5S1 disc herniation combined with sacroiliac joint disorders included 11 males and 15 females, ranging in age from18 to 65 years old with an average of (45.53 +/- 27.23) years old, and the duration of the disease ranged from 0.5 to 103 months with an average of (11.99 +/- 12.56) months. Sixty-eight anteroposterior lumbar radiographs, 68 lateral lumbar radiographs,and 68 pelvic plain films were taken. The degree of lumbar scoliosis, pelvic tilt,and disc thickness were measured. The correlation between pelvic tilt and lumbar scoliosis ,lumbar scoliosis and disc thickness were studied by using linear and regression methods. The hiomechanical analysis was performed.

RESULTSThere was a positive correlation between pelvic tilt and lumbar scoliosis in patients with L(4,5) disk herniation (R=0.49, P=0.00). There was a causal relationship and good linear proportional relationship (Y=3.05+1.07X, P=0.00) in the two variables. There was a negative correlation between lumbar scoliosis and intervertebral space in male patients with L (4,5) disk herniation (R = -0.50, P=0.01). There was a causal relationship and good linear proportional relationship in the two variables (Y=13.09-0.27X, P=0.02). But there was a positive correlation between lumbar scoliosis and intervertebral space in male patients with L5S1 disk herniation (R=0.46, P=0.04).

CONCLUSIONIliac rotational displacement are closely related with L(4,5) disc degeneration and herniation in biomechanics. A new concepts and therapeutic approach is provided for clinical treatment of chronic and refractory herniation of L(4,5) disc in patients
