Objective To observe the effects of Xingnaojing injection on cytokine and clinical efficacy of patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and blood stasis syndrome (BSS).Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. Seventy hospitalized patients with ACI in the Neurological Department of the First People's Hospital of Jingmen of Hubei Province were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into a combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine group and a control group, 35 cases in each group. Both groups received conventional treatment. The combination therapy group additionally received Xingnaojing intravenous drip 30 mL, once a day on the basis of the control remedy. The therapeutic course in both groups was 14 days. In the two groups before and after treatment, the serum levels of γ-interferon (IFN-γ) and interleukins (IL-2, IL-5 and IL-10) were detected; the neurological function defect scale (NFDS) score, the modified Rankin scale (MRS) score and the daily living activity (ADL) score were observed.Results Compared with the levels before treatment, serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-2 were significantly decreased after treatment [IFN-γ (ng/L): the control group was 32.62±5.34 vs. 45.89±9.28, combination therapy group was 20.45±6.39 vs. 46.02±8.15; IL-2 (ng/L): the control group was 8.62±1.51 vs. 14.23±2.19, combination therapy group was 3.47±0.76 vs. 13.09±1.32], while the levels of IL-5 and IL-10 were obviously increased [IL-5 (ng/L): the control group was 68.39±8.89 vs. 36.80±6.32, combination therapy group was 89.20±9.17 vs. 37.26±6.08; IL-10 (ng/L): the control group was 27.66±5.47 vs. 15.59±3.27, combination therapy group was 38.54±7.66 vs. 16.17±4.29], and the changes in the combination therapy group were more significant [IFN-γ (ng/L):20.45±6.39 vs. 32.62±5.34, IL-2 (ng/L): 3.47±0.76 vs. 8.62±1.51, IL-5 (ng/L): 89.20±9.17 vs. 68.39±8.89, IL-10 (ng/L): 38.54±7.66 vs. 27.66±5.47, allP < 0.05]. Compared with the scores before treatment, NFDS score and MRS score were significantly decreased after treatment (NFDS score: the control group was 12.38±4.26 vs. 27.16±6.35, the combination therapy group was 7.59±2.09 vs. 28.53±7.57; MRS score: the control group was 3.39±1.51 vs. 4.58±1.07, the combination therapy group was 1.39±0.76 vs. 4.65±1.12), but the ADL score was significantly increased after treatment (the control group was 38.17±2.24 vs. 24.25±3.53, the combination therapy group was 48.43±1.32 vs. 23.51±2.17), and the improvement in the combination therapy group was more significant (NFDS score: 7.59±2.09 vs. 12.38±4.26, MRS score: 1.39±0.76 vs. 3.39±1.51, ADL score: 48.43±1.32 vs. 38.17±2.24, allP < 0.05).Conclusion The Xingnaojing injection can significantly regulate the levels of serum cytokines IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-5, IL-10, and improve the recovery of function of damaged nerve and the ADL in patients with ACI.
3.Treatment of acute retinal necrosis syndrome
International Eye Science 2015;(5):813-816
?Acute retinal necrosis syndrome ( ARN) is a serious eye disease, which caused by Herpes virus mostly, with unknown pathogenesis. Because of the aggressive progression, treatment of ARN is difficult, and the blindness rate is extremely high. Current treatment strategies are the combination of the drug therapy and the operative treatment. Drugs commonly used are antiviral drugs, glucocorticoids, and antiplatelet drugs, and the operative treatment includes laser photocoagulation and vitrectomy.

Objective To explore the relationship of traditional Chinese medical syndrome patterns with renal pathological changes and clinical laboratory parameters in patients with lupus nephritis.Methods Syndrome patterns were differentiated according the clinical manifestations.The data of laboratory examination and renal pathology were collected and analyzed in 40 patients with lupus nephritis.Results(1) Of the fundamental syndrome patterns,pattern of spleen and kidney Qi deficiency had higher activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) and 24-hour urine protein amount than the pattern without spleen and kidney Qi deficiency.(2) Of the incidental syndrome patterns,water-damp pattern had higher APTT than damp-turbidity pattern;hemoglobin(HGB) level in water-damp pattern and damp-turbidity pattern was lower than the normal,and HGB level in water-damp pattern differed from that in blood-staiss pattern and damp-heat pattern(P

Objective To explore the effects of BCG and Poly I:C co-vaccination on the development of spleen T cell subsets of neonatal BALB/c mice. Methods Neonatal BALB/c mice were inoculated with BCG and/or Poly I:C intraperitoneally within 2-3 d after birth. Four weeks later, spleen cells of mice were isolated and the percentage of CD3+ CD8+ IFN-γ+,CD3+ CD8-IFN-γ+,CD3+ CD8+ IL-4+,CD3+ CD8- IL-4+,CD4+ Foxp3+ T cells,which represent Tc1,TH1,Tc2,TH2,Treg cells,respectively,were tested by flow cytometry at single cell level,and the ratios of TH 1/TH 2 and Tc1/Tc2 were calculated. Results The percentages of TH1 and Tc1 cells of BCG-vaccinated mice,Poly I:C-vaccinated mice and BCG plus Poly I:C-vaccinated mice were significantly higher than that of control mice(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and there was no difference among the three vaccinated group. The ratios of TH1/TH2 and total IFN-γ/IL-4 of the three vaccinated groups were higher than that of control group,but not the ratio of Tc1/Tc2. The TH1/TH2 ratio of BCG plus Poly I:C-vaccinated group was higher than that of BCG-vaccinated group(P<0.05).The percentages of Trge cells showed no difference among the four groups(P>0.05). Conclusion BCG and Poly I:C co-vaccination can significantly increase the number of Tc1 and TH 1 cells and TH 1/TH2 ratio in spleen cells. BCG and Poly I:C vaccination may have a synergistic effect on TH 1/TH2 ratio of spleen cells in neonataI mice. The percentage of CD4+ Foxp3+ T cells among four groups showed no significant difference.

In recent years,stem cell transplantation for the treatment of ischemic stroke has become a hot topic.However,since embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transplantation is limited by the ethics and law,stem cell research was once in trouble.Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a class of cells by introducing the specific transcription factors into somatic cells,which have the similar characteristics with ESCs,and also avoid the ethical issues and immunological rejection,making them become the most ideal replacer of ESCs.Although the current research on iPSCs has made some progress,their induction efficiency and safety issues remain to be resolved.This article reviews the status quo,mechanisms,and problems faced in clinical practice for iPSCs transplantation in the treatment of ischemic stroke.
