Objective To explore the effect of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline on headshakes behavior and levels of monoamine neurotransmitter in model rats with Tourette syndrome.Methods 40 Wistar rats were randomly divided into DOI-induced head-shakes rats (HSR group),haloperidol group,rhynchophylline group and isorhynchophylline group with 10 in each group.The inhibitory effects of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline were estimated by observing the HSR behavior.Dopamine (DA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) in the rat striatum were detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.The 5-HT2A receptor mRNA expression in prefrontal lobe cortex of the rats was measured by real-time PCR.Results Compared with HSR group,the head shakes of the rats in haloperidol group and isorhynchophylline group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and no change of head-shakes number was observed in rhynchophylline group (P＞0.05).There was no significant difference of head-shakes number between the haloperidol group and isorhynchophylline group(P＞0.05).Compared with HSR group,DA levels in the rat striatum were significantly decreased in isorhynchophylline group and haloperidol group((152.35± 5.80) μ~L vs (111.19±4.30) μg/L,(152.35±5.80) μg/L vs (126.42±3.17) μg/L,P＜0.01),while DA levels in the rat striatum in rhynchophylline group were not changed ((152.35±5.80) μg/L vs (142.71±5.51) μg/L,P＞0.05).There was no significant change of 5-HT2A receptor mRNA expression in rat prefrontal lobe cortex in every group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Isorhynchophylline may have an inhibitory effect on rats with DOI-induced HSR.Isorhynchophylline may decrease the DA levels in the rat stratum with DOI-induced HSR.Rhynchophylline has no significant inhibitory effect on head-shakes behavior and DA levels in the rat stratum with DOI-induced HSR.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of early hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment combined with mild hypothermia treatment on patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods A total of 45 participants with severe TBI were randomly divided into combination group (15 cases),mild hypothermia group (15 cases) and control group (15 cases).In control group the patients were managed with treatments for reducing the intracranial pressure (ICP) and controlling the hemorrhage and gastric acid,and with administration of neurotrophic treatment and nutritional support.In addition to above mentioned interventions,the patients in mild hypothermia group received mild hypothermia treatment; while those in the combination group received mild hypothermia plus HBO treatment.The scores of Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were measured before and after treatment.The ICP and pressure of oxygen in brain tissue (PbtO2) were recorded during the process of treatment.Results After treatment,the scores of GCS in 3 groups all increased significantly,but the improvement of the GCS scores in combination group was the highest(P ＜0.05).The ICP in combination group were significantly lower than that in mild hypothermia group and control group since the 5th day (P ＜ 0.05).The PbtO2 in combination group were significantly higher than that in mild hypothermia group and control group since the 7th day(P ＜0.01).Conclusions Early HBO treatment combined with mild hypothermia treatment could improve the therapeutic efficiency in patients with severe TBI.

Objective To study the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of an instrument for assessing quality of life after traumatic brain injury (QOLIBRI).Methods A total of 49 patients with traumatic brain injury were studied.The test-retest reliability of the instrument was examined by computing intraclass correlation coefficients and its internal consistency was examined using Cronbach's α statistic.Its criterion-related validity was examined using reference instruments such as the HADS,SF-36 and Glasgow outcome scale-extended (GOSE).The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure and Barlett's test of sphericity as well as factor analysis were used for construct validity testing.Results The test-retest reliability of the QOLIBRI subscales was stable,with Pearson's correlation coefficients ranging from 0.906 to 0.987.Good internal consistency was demonstrated by the Cronbach's αs ranging from 0.498 to 0.921.The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of QOLIBRI was 0.813.Factor analysis yielded four factors,and their cumulative contribution was 68.4％.The QOLIBRI scores were highly negatively correlated with HADS scores,moderately correlated with GOSE scores and positively correlated to SF-36 scores.Conclusions The Chinese QOLIBRI instrument has good reliability and validity.

The symptom was not controlled satisfactorily in 1 patient, who underwent the right thyroid inferior arteries superselective arteriography and interventional embolization, and then the thyroid function gradually returned to normal level. No serious complications occurred in all patients. Conclusions Arterial embolotherapy is a safe, simple,symptomless, reliable and very effective for treatment of hyperthroidism.

Exosome is a self-secreted phospholipid bilayer nanovesicles, and has shown great potential in drug delivery field due to the important advantages of low immunogenicity and homologous targeting. Phototherapy, mainly includes photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), utilize light to activate photoactive drug for tumor cell killing. The advanced therapeutic strategy shows low toxic side-effect and non-invasion precise advantages, and thus has made great progress in tumor treatment over the past few years. Therefore, using exosomes as a drug delivery system to deliver phototherapeutic agents can improve therapeutic performances with a reduced side-effect, and further enhance their application potential for clinical tumor therapy. This review focus on the rising cross-subjects field involving exosomes and phototherapy, and mainly introduce the research progress and relative case of exosomes-based delivery system for cancer phototherapy. Additionally, the advantages and challenges of exosome-based phototherapy are also discussed and proposed.

Objective To explore the clinical features and diagnosis of primary immunodeifciency disease caused byTyk2 gene mutations.Methods Clinical data from the ifrst case in China diagnosed of primary immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene mutation were retrospectively analyzed, and related literature was reviewed.Results One year and 3 month old boy suffered with repeated pulmonary infection, chronic otitis media, intractable eczema like rash, repeated skin abscess, HSV infection, intracellular bacterial infection, and remarkedly increased total IgE. It was detected that compound heterozygous mutations of c.2269C>G in No. 16 exon and c.149delC in No. 3 exon inTyk2 gene. Literature searching found other 8 cases (5 males and 3 females) of immune deifciency patients caused byTyk2 gene defects, all of which hadTyk2 gene homozygous mutations and presented with repeated infection of paranasal sinus and lung. In the 8 cases 6 cases were combined with mycobacterium tuverculosis infection, 4 cases had repeated virus infection, 4 cases had meningonecephalitis, 3 cases had intractable eczema like rash, 2 cases had salmonella enteritis, 1 case had remarkedly increased total IgE, one case had elevated eosinophils, 5 cases were born in intermarriage family and 1 case died of meningitis caused by unknown etiology.Conclusions When patients have repeated paranasal sinus infection and lung infection, combined with intracellular bacterial infection (including mycobacterium tuberculosis infection), and repeated virus infection or intractable eczema like rash, with or without increased total IgE, immunodeifciency disease caused by Tyk2 gene defection should be considered. Gene sequence analysis can assist in early diagnosis.

Objective:To study the inhibition of astragaloside on the proliferation of human keloid fibroblasts. Methods: Com-pared with that of normal skin, the expression of transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β) and its transduction factors Smad in the human keloid fibroblasts was detected. The optimal concentration was screened by MTT after HFF-1 human skin fibroblast was infected with astragaloside at different concentrations. The mRNA expression of Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was studied by using real-time. The protein expression of TGF-βRⅡ, Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was detected by using Western blot. Results: Compared with that of normal skin tissue, the expression of Smad protein was significantly increased ( P <0. 05) in the human keloid fibroblasts, and there was no significant difference in the TGF-βRⅡ expression (P>0. 05). The optimal concentration of astragaloside was 0. 5μg·ml-1 . The expression level of Smad2 protein in the two groups was significantly increased, and the level of Smad3 expression was significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Astragaloside can inhibit the formation of fi-broblast possibly through Smad2 over-expression and Smad3 inhibition in the TGF-β/Smad signal transduction pathway.
