1.HLA-DR and DP antigens expression on human aortic smooth muscle cells in vitro
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(02):-
To observe whether human aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) may expressHLA-DR and DP antigens, we used ?-IFN and lymphocytes conditioned media (LCM) to induce SMC in vitro. The results showed that ?-IFN increased HLA-DR and HLA-DP expression on SMC by 80% and 73%, and LCM did so by 74% and 70% respec-tively. HLA-DR and DP (11% and 7%) in both groups were significantly higher thanthat of the control group. These results suggested that activated T lymphocytes may in-crease HLA-DR and HLA-DP antigens expression on human SMC by secreating ?-IFN (orwith other cytokines), which may play certain important roles in atherogenesis.
2.The relation of hyperlipidemia, lipid peroxidation, anti-oxidative enzyme activity to atherosclerosis
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(03):-
Atherosclerotic model of rabbit was established by feeding heavy dosage ofcholesterol for 60 days and then withdrew it for 30 days. The relation between cholesterolcontent, lipld peroxide (LPO), activity of antioxidative enzyme and the evolution of ath-erosclerotic lesions was observed. It was found that the serum cholesterol level increasedwith the increased duration of cholesterol feeding and reached a peak at the 60th day,then decreased rapidly after feeding was stopped. However the LPO level didn't fall, in-stead it was increased continuously to a much higher level than that of the control. Theanti-oxidative enzymes SOD and GSH-Px showed compensatory increase at the early stageof high LPO level. There after, it was decreased and was kept in lower level than thatof the control. There were developed atherosclerotic lesions of various degree in aorta,pulmonary and coronary arteries. Even one month after the stop of cholesterol feeding,progressive changes, such as large amount of smooth muscle cell proliferation and inflam-matory cell infiltration were observed, and the lesions became much more severe thanbefore. These results suggested that the exess of LPO in the serum resulted in inhibitionof anti-oxidative enzyine activity Which might play an important role in the initiatingand developing of atherosclerosis.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of cyclosporin combined with glucocorticoid versus cyclophosphamide combined with glucocorticoid in the treatment of membranous nephropathy (MN). METHODS: Retrieved from Embase, Medline, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang database, RCTs about cyclosporin combined with glucocorticoid (trial group) versus cyclophosphamide combined with glucocorticoid (control group) in the treatment of MN were collected. Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software after literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation with Jadad scale. RESULTS: Totally 6 RCTs were included, involving 312 patients in total. Results of Meta-analysis showed that remission rate 3 months after treatment [OR=3.42,95%CI(2.05,5.71),P<0.000 01] and relapse rate [OR=3.12,95%CI(1.45,6.70),P=0.004], leukocyte count 12 months after treatment [MD=1.77,95%CI(0.96,2.58),P<0.000 1] in trial group were significantly higher than control group. There was no statistical significance in remission rate 6 months after treatment [OR=2.06,95%CI(0.80,5.30),P=0.13] and remission rate 12 months after treatment [OR=1.30,95%CI(0.68,2.48),P=0.42], blood creatinine level 3 months after treatment [MD=-1.55,95%CI(-6.72,3.62),P=0.56] and blood creatinine level 6 months after treatment [MD=-1.21,95%CI(-5.96,3.54),P=0.62], cholesterol level 12 months after treatment [MD=-0.77, 95%CI(-1.81,0.28),P=0.15] or ALT level[MD=-0.40,95%CI(-4.38,3.58),P=0.98] between 2 groups. ADR were reported in 5 RCTs, but their results were different. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term efficacy of cyclosporine combined with corticosteroid is similar to that of cyclophosphamide combined with corticosteroid in the treatment of MN. Cyclosporin combined with glucocorticoid has a faster effect, but a higher relapse rate.
