To compare the effects of polysaccharide nucleic acid fraction of bacillus calmette guerin (BCG-PSN) and thymopeptides on T-lymphocytes of normal and immunosuppressed mice, CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets of single nucleic cell in thymus, spleen and peripheral blood were detected successively by flow cytometry after application of BCG-PSN and thymopeptides. Meanwhile, CD4+/CD8+ ratio was also calculated. The results showed that both BCG-PSN and thymopeptides could decrease the proportion of CD4+ CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets in the thymus, at the same time increase CD4+ T-lymphocyte, CD8+ T-lymphocyte proportion in the three tissues. The fluctuation in amplitude was greater in thymopeptides group than that in BCG-PSN group. It is concluded that acting location of thymopeptides is in thymus, its stimulating action is stronger than that of BCG-PSN, while BCG-PSN not only accelerates the differentiation in thymus, but also has some direct stimulation to peripheral CD4+ T-lymphocytes, and can maintain CD4+/CD8+ ratio within normal range. So, BCG-PSN is safer.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcome of Ruanjian Xiaoying Decoction (RJXYD) on chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. METHODS: Eighty patients with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis were randomly divided into RJXYD-treated group (n=40) and control group (n=40). The patients in the RJXYD-treated group received treatment of RJXYD combined with levothyroxine while the others in the control group received treatment of levothyroxine and prednisone both for 16 weeks. The serum levels of thyroid hormones and the titres of serum antithyroglobulin antibody (anti-TG Ab) and antithyroid microsomal antibody (anti-TM Ab) were all examined before and after treatment. The total response rates of the two groups were evaluated after treatment of 16 weeks. RESULTS: The total response rate of the RJXYD-treated group was 92.5%, while that of the control group was 60.0% (P<0.01). The serum levels of free triiodothyronine (FT(3)) and free thyroxine (FT(4)) were obviously increased after treatment as compared with those before treatment in the two groups. The titres of serum anti-TG Ab and anti-TM Ab and the serum level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were all obviously decreased after treatment as compared with those before treatment in the two groups. CONCLUSION: The RJXYD can shrink and soften the enlarged thyroid gland and thyroid nodules, improve the immune function of human body, alleviate the response to thyroid self-antigens and promote the recovery of thyroid function.

OBJECTIVE Dynamics of serum and urine metabolites in hepatic injury rats induced by ethanolic extract from Rhizoma Dioscoreae Bulbiferae(RDB)was investigated by 1H-NMR-based metabo?nomic methods in order to discover early biomarkers of liver toxicity induced by RDB. METHODS Rats were ig adminisetred with RDB at a dose of 5 g·kg-1 for 28 d. Rats were sacrificed 3,7,14 and 28 d af?ter RDB administration,as well as after a recovery period,respectively. Blood was taken for routine bio?chemical analysis by an automatic biochemical analyzer. Liver/body mass indexes were calculated ,and liver pathological changes were observed with hematoxylin-eosin staining. Urine samples were collected before and 3,7,14 and 28 d after RDB administration,respectively,as well as after withdrawal. Metabo?nomic analysis was carried out for serum and urine samples. Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were used for screening and identifiying early biomarkers. RESULTS Compared with the control group,total bilirubin (TB) and total cholesterol (TC) values were increased in 3-28 d in RDB group(P<0.05,P<0.01). Total bile acid(TBA)was elevated in 7-28 d (P<0.05,P<0.01). TB,TC and TBA became normal after discontinuation with RDB. There was no significant difference between RBD-treated group and control group in the activity of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase,and the content of glucose also was not different between the two groups. The ratio of liver/body mass was elevated at 3-28 d(P<0.01)but returned to normal after withdraval of RDB. The enlargement and necrosis of hepatocytes were observed 7 d after RDB administration,and lesion degree was aggravated with the extension of RDB delivery time. Meta?bonomic analysis showed that the serum lipids (low density lipoprotein/very low density lipoprotein (LDL/VLDL),glutamic acid,choline phosphate and glycerolphosphatecholine were increased in the early stage. Pyruvate and N-acetylglutamate were decreased in urine. These metabolites became normal 7 d after discontinuation with RDB. CONCLUSION The serum lipids (LDL/VLDL),glutamic acid,glycerol phosphate choline,as well as urine pyruvic acid salt and N-acetyl glutamate may be used as the early biomarkers for liver toxicity induced by RDB.

Objective To investigate the relationship betwee n tricuspid insufficiency (TI) and the function of the right ventricle, degree o f pulmonary vascular pathological change in patients with rheumatic heart diseas e so as to provide the indication of operation for treating TI. Methods 41 cases of rheumatic heart disease with TI accompanying with bicuspid pathological changes were reviewed. Correlation analysis was done between the s everity of TI and the right ventricular size(RVS), pulmonary artery pressure(PAP ), pulmonary artery resistance(PAR) etc. Results It was found t hat the size of the right ventricle, PAP, PAR were positively correlated to th e degree of TI. Tricuspid annuloplasty should be carried out in patients with RV D>40 mm, PAR >48 kPa*s/L, PAP>8 kPa. Conclusion TI resulted ma inly from insufficient function of the right ventricle and marked patholog ical changes of the pulmonary blood vessels. Doppler echocardiography evaluation for the function of right ventricle and pathological condition of pulmonary blo od vessels might be of significant in deciding whether tricuspid annuloplasty sh ould be performed simutaneously in patients of bicuspid valve replacement.

Objective To understand the prevalence and distribution features of mild cognitive impairment(MCI)among elderly in Xinjiang Uygur and Han ethnic groups so as to provide evidence for etiological study and prevention. Methods From July 2007 to October 2008, according to the criteria of DSM-IV for MCI,a randomized, stratified and cluster sampling procedure was used in the Uygur and Han elder people aged ≥60 years in south Xinjiang, east Xinjiang and Urumchi region. Results A total of 2986 people were surveyed, including 1519 Uygur people and 1467 Han people, and 1435 males and 1551 females. (1) According to the age composition of national census in 2000, the total crude prevalence rate of MCI was 10.21%, and the total standardized prevalence rate of MCI was 10.58% in Uygur and Han elder people. In general Uygur and Han population, the crude prevalence rates of MCI were 9.61% and 10.84%, and the standardized prevalence rates of MCI were 10.29%and 10.86%, respectively. The prevalence of MCI was higher in Han population than in Uygur population, but there was no statistical difference(χ~2 = 1.225, P>0.05). (2) In males and females, the crude prevalence rates of MCI were 9.34% and 11.03%, and the standardized prevalence rates of MCI were 9.26% and 11.62%, respectively. There was no difference in prevalence rate between different sex populations(χ~2 =2.314,P>0.05). (3) In elder people aged 60~69, 70~79 and≥80 years, the MCI prevalence rates were 6.83%, 13.22% and 22.22% in Uygur population and 8.64%, 12.50% and 19.30% in Han population, respectively, and the prevalence rate of MCI was increased with aging in the two thnic roups(χ_(for trend)~2=34.753, 14.081, both P<0.05). (4)There were statistical differences in prevalence rates of MCI among different education levels, and it was decreased with enhancement of education levels in Uygur and Han population(χ_(for trend) = 14.785, 21.059, both P<0.05). Conclusions In Xinjiang Uygur and Han ethnic elderly people, the prevalence rates of MCI are significantly different among elderly with different ages and education levels, and it is increased with aging, but is decreased with enhancement of education levels.

This paper reports a study regarding the verity of the hypocholestero-lemic effect of konjac-polysaccharide. The konnyaku powder (KP) used in this study was prepared and refined from the tubers of Amorphophallus ko-njac K. Koch and contained 84.8% of glucomannan. Male and female Spra-ue-Dawley rats aged 5 weeks were divided into 5 groups and fed on normal basal diet, hypercholesterolemic diet (control diet) and 3 test diets (i.e. KP was added to the control diet at a dosage of 2.5%, 5% or 10%) respe- ctively, for 12 weeks.The results obtained from this study showed that KP could markedly lower the level of the cholesterol in sera and livers of rats feeding hyper-cholesterolemic diets. At the end of the 4th week of the feeding experiment, the serum cholesterol level of the 5% and the 10% KP groups, and the liver cholesterol level of the 10% KP group were shown to be significantly lower than those of the control group. At the end of the 12th week, serum cholesterol levels of all the 3 KP groups were found to be lowered to the level of the normal group and so did the liver cholesterol level of the 10% KP group. The lipotropic (anticholesteatosis) effect of KP was also confirmed by the hepatic histopathological examination. Besides the hypocholest-eroletmic eftect, KP diets can also increase the bulk of stool. Finally, there were not any harmful effects on the absorption and utilization of Ca, Fe, Zn and Cu being found.
