Objective To explore the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on ventricular arrhythmias resulted from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rats. Method Two hundred and forty male Wistar rats were randomized (random number) into sham operation group, AMI group and recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor (rhTNFR) fusion protein (Fc) group. Acute anterior wall myocardial infarction was produced in rats of AMI group with ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) , and the rats were just operated without ligation of LAD in sham group. The rats of Fc group were treated with rhTNFR-Fc (10 mg/kg), a TNF-α antagonist, 24 hours before LAD ligation. The original ECG was recorded 10 min before ligation and the ECGs of ventricular arrhythmias occurred spontaneously or induced by programmed electrical stimulation were recorded 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 60 min, 3 h, 6 h and 12 hours after ligation. The protein levels and mRNA expressions of TNF-α in rats in different groups were detected with histochemistry and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results The expressions of TNF-α mRNA and levels of TNF-α protein markedly increased 10 min after infarction, reached the climax 20-30 min later, and then gradually returned to the original level in AMI group and Fc group. The time-windows of spontaneous and induced ventricular arrhythmias were consistent with the time-window of expressions of TNF-α mRNA and levels of TNF-α protein. Compared with AMI group, there were lower levels of TNF-α protein and lower incidence of ventricular arrhythmias in Fc group ( P < 0.05) , but there was no significant difference in TNF-α mRNA between two groups. There was no obvious change in TNF-α in rats of sham operation group. Conclusions The expressions of TNF-α mRNA and levels of TNF-α protein induced by AMI could contribute the initiation of ventricular arrhythmias.

Andrographolide total ester sulfonate (ATES) injection is one of the products of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) currently used against viral infection in China.ATES injection was approved for manufacturing and marketing in January 2002.It is indicated for acute respiratory infections,tonsillitis,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,influenza,foot and mouth disease,bronchiolitis,herpangina,mumps,infectious mononucleosis and psychosis.However,its usage also carries risk.We investigated the use of ATES at the Wuhan Union Hospital from January 2014 to December 2014 and evaluated its real-word clinical application using the hospital centralized monitoring method.A total of 848 cases were enrolled in this study.In these cases,it was mainly used for postoperative anti-inflammation and treating upper respiratory infection,pneumonia and bronchitis.Among them,39.86％ were contraindicated.Irregular medication of adults and children accounted for 1.91％ and 23.38％,respectively.Improper choice of solvent accounted for 3.18％.The choice of intravenous drip versus aerosol inhalation was reasonable.A case of adverse events (AEs) was observed in the monitoring period,and the incidence of adverse drug reaction (ADR) of ATES injection was 0.12％.ATES injection in our hospital is relatively safe with a low incidence of adverse reactions.The study assesses the clinical usage and adverse reactions of ATES injection,and provides suggestions for rational use in clinical practice.

Objective HLA-G widely participates in immune tolerance by its combination with immunoglobulin-like tran-scripts IL-2 and IL-4 on the surface of dendritic cells (DCs).The aim of the article was to explore the effects of recombinant adnovirus-mediated HLA-G transfection in macaca mulatta immature dendritic cells on T cell proliferation . Methods Marrow blood was collected from macaca mulattas by the puncture needle after anesthesia .Density gradient centrifugation method was applied in separating mononuclear from the extracted blood on which CD 34+cells were collected and pu-rified by means of immunomagnetic separation .Small doses of cyto-kines were added to get the immature dendritic cells after induced dif-ferentiation of CD34+cells.After the recombinant adnovirus-mediated HLA-G transfection in macaca mulatta immature dendritic cells , observation was done on the viral infection efficiency and western blot was used in detecting the expression of HLA -G in immature den-dritic cells.Taking T cells in macaca mulatta as responders and DCs transfected by recombinant adnovirus -mediated HLA-G as stimu-lators, mixed lymphocyte test was conducted .T cells were divided into 5 groups: mDC group ( mature DCs ) , imDC group ( immature DCs), imDC(L) group(addition of 100 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide after getting imDC at 7th day) , imDC(V) group (imDCs infected by recombinant adnovirus-mediated HLA-G) , imDC( L+V) group ( imDCs infected by recombinant adnovirus-mediated HLA-G along with the addition of 100 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide in culture process ) . Results We obtained the immature dendritic cells and recom-binant adenovirus of HLA-G expressed in these cells .Flow cytometry showed DC purity was up to 92.3 %, imDC purity was up to 72.39%and positive percentage of CD 4+T was greater than 80%.In comparison with imDC group ,the proliferation of stimulated T cells in mDC and imDC(L) groups was obviously intensified (P<0.01).In comparison with imDC(V) group, the proliferation of stim-ulated T cells in imDC, mDC, imDC(L), and imDC(L+V) groups was obviously intensified (P <0.01).In comparison with imDC(L+V) group, the proliferation of stimulated T cells in mDC and imDC(L) groups was obviously intensified(P<0.01). Conclu sion Im-mature DCs infected by recombinant adnovirus can inhibit the proliferation of T cells effectively .

Objective To assess the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on severe acute pancre-atitis (SAP). Methods According to the collaborative search strategy, MEDLINE (1966-2013.9), Embase(1974-2013.9), Chinese Wanfang database(1996-2013.9), CNKI(1979-2013.9) and the clinical control test database of Cochrane Library were searched.Published and unpublished literature and meeting summary were searched manually.Quality assessment and data extraction were conducted by two independent investigators. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2. Results A total of 15 reports were identified which met the inclusion criteria, in which include data of 652 patients.Com-pared with control group, serum amylase decreased in CRRT group (WMD=-140.76, 95%CI was-212.42 to-69.11, P=0.000 1). Mediators of inflammatory mediators were scavenged effectively and APACHEⅡscore decreased in CRRT group (WMD=-2.97, 95%CI was-4.01 to-1.93, P<0.001). The overall survival rate was significantly higher in CRRT group than that in control group (RR=1.35, 95%CI 1.19-1.52, P<0.001). Conclusion Continuous renal replacement therapy could ef-fectively improve the survival rate of patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective: To observe the prognosis of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS). Methods: Thirty patients with MODS were enrolled in this study and were divided into two groups (survival group and death group) by their outcomes. All of these patients underwent CRRT for at least 24 h. The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α were measured at the beginning and 3, 6,12 and 24 h after initiation of CRRT. Results: Among these thirty patients, the level of TNF-α came to peak at 12 h, and there was no significant difference between beginning and the end of CRRT. The level of IL-6 in death group was higher than that in survival group. There were correlations among numbers of complications, abnormalities of co-agulation and acute pathologic and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) separately. Conclusion: Clinical oxygenation and hemodynamics situation can be improved by CRRT, but there were no significant differences in levels of inflammatory mediators between initiation and the end of CRRT.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of ginsenosides (GS) and low dose glucocorticoid in preventing and treating the postembolization syndrome following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). METHODS: Eighty patients with primary liver carcinoma were randomly divided into 4 double-blinded groups, with 20 patients in each group. Patients in groups A, B, C, D were treated with placebo, dexamethasone (Dex), GS, Dex and GS, respectively. The changes of clinical symptoms and laboratory tests after TACE were observed. RESULTS: Dex combined with GS markedly decreased the occurrence ratio and lasting time of the symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fever and pain, and protected the function of liver as compared with the placebo (P<0.05). Single use of Dex or GS improved some symptoms as compared with the placebo, but it was not as good as the combination of Dex and GS. CONCLUSION: Dex combined with GS can effectively prevent and treat the postembolization syndrome following TACE.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the therapeutic effect and prognostic factors of carcinoma of parotid gland (CPG). Methods: Data on 103 CPG patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the simple surgery group (Group One) and post-operative radio-chemotherapy group (Group Two). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Log-rank test, and Cox re-gression analysis were employed to analyze the five-year overall survival. Chi-square test was applied to compare the local control rate and recurrence-free survival. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the correlation between all factors and the local control rate. Results:For all patients, the five-year local control rate, five-year recurrence-free survival rate, and five-year overall survival rate were 71.49%, 69.61%, and 76.10%respectively. The five-year local control ratio (81.96%vs. 61.90%), five-year recurrence-free surviv-al (78.69%vs. 59.52%), and five-year overall survival (88.12%vs. 68.50%) were significantly improved in Group Two compared with Group One. The logistic regression analysis showed that the therapeutic method, T staging, as well as pN(+) neck and tumor differentia-tion were significantly correlated to the five-year local control rate and five-year recurrence-free survival (P<0.01). Cox regression anal-ysis showed that therapeutic method, T stage, as well as pN(+) neck and tumor differentiation were significantly correlated to the five-year overall survival (P<0.01). Conclusion:Post-operative radio-chemotherapy can improve the local control and overall survival rates. This therapeutic method is applicable to patients with T3-4 tumors, as well as pN(+) neck and middle-low differentiation.
