Objective To study the therapeutic effect of anti-CD80 bivalent antibody on mouse lu-pus nephritis and to explore the possible molecular mechanism. Methods A mouse model of lupus nephritis was established through intraperitoneal injection of 0. 5 ml of pristine in female C57BL/6J mice. Appearance of urinary protein and significantly increased levels of peripheral antinuclear antibody ( ANA) and anti-doub-le-stranded DNA ( anti-dsDNA) antibody in the fourth month after injection indicated that the mouse model was established successfully. Then the mice were divided into two groups including anti-CD80 bivalent anti-body intervention group (injected with 200μg of anti-CD80 bivalent antibody at day 1, 3, 5, 8 and 15, fol-lowed by three times of injection with an interval of one month) and model group ( injected with the same protein using the same strategy). A normal control group was set up accordingly. Albustix test paper was used to monitor the dynamic changes in mouse urinary protein. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the acti-vation of immune-related cells in spleen. Levels of autoantibodies ( ANA and anti-dsDNA) and levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 in serum were detected by indirect immunofluorescence assay. Renal tissue samples were an-alyzed with hematoxylin and eosin ( HE) staining and immunocomplex ( IC) assay. Results Urinary pro-tein level of the anti-CD80 bivalent antibody intervention group was significantly lower than that of the model group (P<0. 05). Activated macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils and B cells in spleen tissues of the anti-CD80 bivalent antibody intervention group were significantly less than those of the model group ( P<0. 05), and the numbers of CD4+ and CD154+ T cells were significantly less than those of the model group (P<0. 05). Positive rates and titers of ANA and dsDNA in serum samples of the intervention group were lower than those of the model group (P<0. 05). Levels of IFN-γand IL-4 in serum samples of the interven-tion group were decreased as compared with those of the model group (P<0. 05). HE staining and immuno-fluorescence assay showed that glomerular inflammatory injury and necrosis were alleviated and kidney im-mune complex deposition was reduced after anti-CD80 bivalent antibody intervention. Conclusion Anti-CD80 bivalent antibody specifically binds to the CD80 molecule on antigen presenting cell surface, blocks the CD80/CD28 co-stimulatory signaling pathway and down-regulates the body′s immune response, which al-leviates and reverses the lupus-like nephritis-induced pathological damages in mice.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) assessment of fatty liver and choose a cut-off value of hepatic steatosis more than 5%.
METHODSConsecutive patients, 18 years or older, who had undergone percutaneous liver biopsy and CAP measurement were recruited from five liver healthcare centers in China. All enrollees were categorized as hepatic steatosis grade S0 (<5%) or S1 (5%). An M-probe equipped FibroScan 502 was used to capture CAP values. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and the areas under (AU) the curves were calculated to determine the diagnostic efficacy. The CAP cut-off values at the optimal thresholds were defined by maximum Youden indices; sensitivity and specificity were also calculated.
RESULTSA total of 332 patients were enrolled in the study, including 67 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and 265 with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) viru: infection. The median age (inter quartile range, IQR) of the study cohort was 39.0 (32.0-50.5) years-old. There were 46 males (68.7%) in the NAFLD group, with a median age of 37.0 (28.0-45.0) years-old, and 182 males (68.7%) in the CHB group; the differences between the two groups in median age and male: female ratio did not reach statistical significance. Multivariate linear regression analysis identified steatosis grade and body mass index (BMI) as independently associated with CAP. The median (IQR) CAP values among patients with S0 and S1 grade steatosis were 215.0 (190.0-241.0) dB/m and 294.0 (255.0-325.5) dB/m (P<0.001), respectively. For all patients, when BMI was <25 kg/m2, the ability of the AUROC of the CAP to discriminate hepatic steatosis more than or equal to 5% was 0.853, and the optimal cut-off value was 244.5 dB/m; however, when BMI≥25 kg/m2, the AUROC was 0.835 and the optimal cut-off value 269.5 dB/m.
CONCLUSIONCAP can identify hepatic steatosis more than or equal to 5% and is applicable for the diagnosis of fatty liver if it is adjusted for BMI.
