Thirty-six healthy women were divided into 3 groups according to their calcium intake at week 18 of gestation. The levels of their blood calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin were assayed during pregnancy and postpartum, and bone mineral density ( BMD) was measured postpartum. The levels of PHI and calcitonin were increasing with advancing pregnancy and reached the highest at the end of pregnancy. The women with higher calcium intake during pregnancy period had higher BMD than that of the women with ordinary diet during pregnancy period.

Objective To explore changes of expression of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the hippocam-pus of Aβ1-42-induced Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rat model. Methods Twenty-four SD rats were divided into control group, PBS group (PBS was injected into CA1 area of hippocampus) and AD model group (Aβ1-42 was injected into CA1 area of hip-pocampus). The escape latency was evaluated by Morris water maze in three groups. Nissl staining was used to detect the le-sions of hippocampal CA1 neurons. Levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in hippo-campus were measured by Western blot analysis. Real-time PCR was employed to examine the expressions of pro-inflamma-tory cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and the mRNA expressions of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-4, IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β). Re-sults Rats subjected to Aβ1-42 injection in bilateral hippocampus led to a ability reduction of learning and memory, a loss of neurons in hippocampus and an increase in the expression of APP, and a decrease in PP2A expression in the hippocampus. In AD hippocampus, The mRNA expressions of the pro-inflammatory mediator, IL-1β, TNF-αand IFN-γ, were significant-ly up-regulated, but the expressions of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-β, were markedly down-reg-ulated in AD group compared with those of control and PBS groups. Conclusion The pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory imbalance induced neuro-inflammation in AD rats, which was involved in pathogenesis of AD.

Objective To explore the role of Th17-and Treg-derived catecholamines during collagen-induced ar?thritis (CIA) progression. Methods Eighteen male DBA/1 mice were randomly divided into control group, CIA model groupⅠ(day 35) and CIA model groupⅡ(day 55). The CIA models were induced by typeⅡcollagen (CⅡ) injection from tails. mRNA expression of Th17 specific transcription factor include ROR-γt, cytokines, IL-17 IL-22, Treg specific transcription factor, Foxp3, cytokines, TGF-βand tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in lymph nodes were examined by real-time PCR. Co-local?ization of ROR-γt or Foxp3, with TH, vesicular monoamine transporter-2 (VMAT-2) or monoamine oxidase (MAO) in lymph nodes were observed by immunofluorescence staining. Results In lymph nodes of mice in CIAⅠgroup and CIAⅡgroup, mRNA expression of ROR-γt, IL-17, TH and IL-22 were upregulated, while mRNA expression of Foxp3 and TGF-βex?pression was downregulated compared to those expression in control group. The upregulated expression of IL-17 was signifi?cantly reduced in CIAⅡgroup compared with that in CIAⅠgroup. In the lymph nodes of both intact and CIA mice, co-lo?calization of ROR-γt or Foxp3 with TH, VMAT-2 or MAO was seen in some cells. The numbers of cells that are double-pos?itive of ROR-γt/TH,ROR-γt/VMAT-2 and ROR-γt/MAO IL-17 were increased in CIA groups compared to those in con?trol group. And they are significantly reduced in CIAⅡgroup compared with those in CIAⅠgroup. Conclusion The abili?ty to synthesize catecholamines in Th17 cells was increased in lymph node in mice from CIA groups compared to that in con?trol group. The increased catecholamines production from Th17 cells in lymph nodes may be involved in the anti-inflammato?ry progression in CIA.

Objective The aim of this phase Ⅱ study was to determine the efficacy and safety of combined bortezomib and thalidomide (VT) regime as initial treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) in China. Methods Thirty-four patients were enrolled in this study and received VT regime up to 21-day cycles. Bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2) was administered intravenously on days 1, 4, 8, and 11, while oral thalidomide ( 100 mg/day) was given from days 1 to 21. The primary end point was clinical response.The secondary end point was safety. Results Among the 34 patients, 20 were male, 14 were female, with a median age of 59 years, and 15 in international stage system (ISS) Ⅲ ,18 in ISS Ⅱ , 1 in ISS Ⅰ . Among them, 28 completed 2 cycles' treatment and achieved an overall response rate (ORR) of 92.9%; 26 were able to complete the planned 8 cycles of therapy. After 8 cycles, the ORR was 100% ( complete response 30. 8%, near-complete response 23.1%, partial response 42. 3%, minimal response 3.8% ). After followed up with a median time of 12 months, the estimated rate without progress of disease was 62%, and the estimated continous remission rate of 12 months was 62%. The median survival time was not achieved. The most common adverse events were mild to moderate ( grades 1, 2). The main toxicities were hematologic (53. 3% ), gastrointestinal ( 40. 0% ), peripheral neuropathy ( 38.0% ), fatigue ( 36. 6% ) and fever (32. 0% ). Conclusions VT regime provides a very high ORR and complete response rate in the treatment of newly diagnosed MM patients. No patients experienced deep venous thrombosis. In conclusion,bortezomib in combination with thalidomide is a very effective regimen for newly diagnosed MM patients and the toxicities are manageable.

Objective To assess the efficacy of triple therapy including proton pump inhibitor (PPI), levofloxacin and amoxicillin for the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection, and the relation between H. pylori eradication and CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism. Methods Two hundred and five H. pylori-positive patients were divided into group E_(20) (esomeprazole 20 mg twice daily), group E_(40)(esomeprazote 40 mg twice daily),group R (rabeprazole 10 mg twice daily) and group L (lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily). Besides PPI, all patients were received levofloxacin 500 mg daily and amoxicillin 1000 mg twice daily for 1 week. The CYP2C19 genotypes were detected in 161 patients. The eradication of H. pylori were analyzed by intention-to-treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP) methods.ResultsThe H. pylori eradication was 86.70% in group E_(20), 88.5% in group E_(40),73.5% in group R and 78.1% in group L. Whereas the H. pylori eradication was 90% in patients with PM genotype,81.5% in patients with HetEM genotype and 82.1% in patients with HomEM genotype. The H.pylori eradication was 83.4% and 79.00% by per protocol (PP) and intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses,respectively. There was no significant difference in H. pylori eradication among four groups (P>0.05), and no relation was found between H. pylori eradication and genotypes (P>0.05). Conclusions PPI based triple therapy was effective in eradication of H. pylori, which is not influenced by CYP2C19 genotypes.
