Objective To explore the clinical features, curative effects and prognosis of patients with psoriasis related acute leukemia. Methods The clinical data of 39 cases in the Second Hospital Shanxi Medical University from January 2011 to June 2016 were collected, and their clinical features and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively. Results Of 39 patients, 28 were males and 11 were females, with the median age of 42 years (13-76 years), the median time that suffering from psoriasis were 10 years (1-30 years); There were 23 (59.0 %) patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), 13 (33.3 %) patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 3 (7.7 %) patients with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL). In patients with recurrence, there were 4 patients with APL, 4 patients with AML, and 1 patient with B-ALL. Single factor analysis showed that the type of PML-RARαfusion gene isoform and the time of suffering from psoriasis were the influencing factors of patients with APL recurrence (both P<0.05), but they were not the independent risk factors (both P>0.05) based on multivariate analysis. The complete remission (CR) rates of patients with psoriasis related APL and AML were 96%(22/23) and 46%(6/13), the 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 96%and 44%, 3-year relapse free survival (RFS) rates were 77%and 38%, respectively. Conclusions In patients with psoriasis related acute leukemia, the largest population is APL patients, and they have a better prognosis. However, patients with psoriasis related AML and ALL have low CR rate and OS rate, and the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation should be considered after remission.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism and effect of Qingfei Paidu decoction on transient receptor potential vanilloid-1/Transient receptor potential ankyrin1 (TRPV1/TRPA1) based on heat-sensitive channel and inflammatory response. MethodAccording to body weight, 80 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, dexamethasone group (5 mg·kg-1), and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of Qingfei Paidu decoction (14.865, 29.73, 59.46 g·kg-1), with 12 mice in each group. In addition to the normal group, the other groups were administered 20 μL (1×10-3 g·kg-1) to each mouse by airway infusion to establish the acute lung injury (ALI) model. In the administration group, the drug was given 1 h after modeling and again after an interval of 24 h. The lung tissue was taken 36 h after modeling. Double lung wet/dry weight ratio(W/D), hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blot were used to observe and detect the pathological changes of lung tissue, expression levels of inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and expressions of TRPV1 and TRPA1 proteins in heat-sensitive channel, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), inhibitor of NF-κB (IκBα) in inflammatory pathway, and phosphorylated proteins. The phosphorylated protein/total protein ratio was calculated. ResultCompared with that in the normal group, the lung tissue of mice in the model group was seriously damaged, and pulmonary capillary permeability increased. Alveolar capillary congestion and dilation destroyed the complete structure of the alveolar, and the alveolar wall thickened. A large number of inflammatory cells and red blood cells were infiltrated, and pulmonary edema was significantly aggravated. The expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, TRPV1, TRPA1, phosphorylated NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65, and phosphorylated IκBα/IκBα were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the whole lung W/D was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the dexamethasone group and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of Qingfei Paidu decoction could significantly improve pulmonary edema. TNF-α, IL-6, TRPV1, TRPA1, lung tissue NF-κB p65, and IκBα phosphorylated protein/total protein ratio decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). The whole lung W/D also decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionQingfei Paidu decoction has anti-inflammatory and protective effects on LPS-ALI mice, which can effectively reduce inflammation, induce diuresis, and alleviate edema. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the expression of TRPA1 and TRPV1 and the inhibition of the activation of the NF-κB pathway.

OBJECTIVE:
To compare two primary culture methods of human nasal epithelial (HNE) in vitro, and explore a suitable method to be used in further study.
METHOD:
Achievement ratio and growth curve of primarily cultural HNE by tissue piece culture were compared to those by isolated cell culture. Shape and appearance were observed and cellular sources were identified to get preliminary bionomics of HNE.
RESULT:
The isolated cell culture method (87.5%) was shown to be superior to tissue piece culture method (83.33%) by comparing achievement ratios, but no statistical significance was found (P > 0.05). The growth curve of isolated cell culture was higher than that of tissue piece culture. All cultured cells were confirmed coming from epithelial cells by observing shape, appearance and dyeing cytokeratin.
CONCLUSION
The isolated cell culture method is more suitable for primary culture due to its less promiscuity, faster proliferation, and more stable and reliable cell supply.
