Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of YunKe and prednisone on moderate and severe thyroid associated ophthalmopathy(TAO).Methods 1 08 hyperthyroidism patients with moderately severe TAO were randomly divided into YunKe group,hormone group and the control group.All of the patients were given anti -thyroid medication(ATD)treatment.By thyroid hormone level upper limit every times higher than normal for a sulfhydryl imidazole 5mg/day to calculate daily dosage,based on thyroid hormone level adjusted a sulfhydryl imidazole dose every two weeks,make thyroid hormone levels in the normal range.YunKe set:intravenous push note YunKe per day A +B agent four groups (including cloud 20mg),each treatment medicine for five days in A row,interval of 25 days to the next period of treatment,medication six procedures.Hormone group:oral prednisone for 6 months,monthly dose in the order 1 mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ,0.75mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ,0.5mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ,0.25mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ,0.1 25mg·kg -1 ·d -1 , 0.062 5mg·kg -1 ·d -1 ,1 time a day,took at 8 o'clock in the morning.The control group treated ATD.Before and 6 months after treatment,all of the patients were checked the TNF -αand TRab,CT scan to measure degree of exophthalmus.Six months after treatment,respectively,on the basis of TAO classification (NOSPECS)and TNF -α, TRab level changes to determine the efficacy of treatment.Data entry Excel 2003 statistical software,used SPSS 1 9.0 statistical software to analyze data.Non parametric tests of three groups of data with Kruskal Wallis test.Not matching the two independent samples nonparametric test with the Mann -Whitney test,with P <0.05 for the difference was statistically significant.Results The markedly effective rate,effective rate and ineffective rate of YunKe group were 36.1 %,47.2% and 1 6.7% respectively,which of the hormone group were 20.0%,37.1 % and 42.9%,which of the control group were 1 3.9%,22.2% and 63.9%.The efficacy among the three groups had statistically significant differences (Kruskal -Wallis χ2 =1 0.736,P =0.005 ).The lighter exophthalmos,tge curative effect was better (Mann -Whitney Z =-4.599,P <0.001 ).The changes of TNF alpha,TRab levels among the three groups had significant differences(YunKe group,the TNF alpha,TRab levels markedly reduced 75.0% and 80.6%,respectively, which of the hormone group were 37.1 % and 34.3%,which of the control group were 1 9.4% and 27.8%,TNF χ2 =23.527,P <0.001 ;TRab χ2 =23.831 ,P <0.001 ).Conclusion The therapeutic efficacy of YunKeon TAO is better than prednisone,but the long -term effect deserves more investigation.

Objective To investigate the association of PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms with conroy heart disease(CHD). Methods One hundred eighty impatients were recruited in the study. Venous blood samples were collected after 12 h of fasting from all patients. DNA was extracted and Pro2Ala polymorphism in the PPAR gamma 2 genes was genotyped through the PCR-RFLP. The frequency and distribution of Pro2Ala polymorphism in Chinese Han population with CHD were analyzed. Gensini Score based on coronarography were used to grade the coronary. Results There were a total of 135 CHD patients,of which 52 were affected with single coronary lesion,43 with multi-coronary lesion,and 45 were normal. The frequency of P12/P12, A12/P12 in the coronary lesion group were 92.6% (125/135) and 7.4% (10/135) which were similar to that of 93.3% (42/45) and 6.7% (3/45)(P =0. 548). In the single coronary lesion group, the frequencies of P12/P12 and A12/P12 were 94.0% (42/52)and 9.6% (5/52) ,and 90.0% (36/40) and 10.0% (4/40) in the bi-coronary lesion group,97.7% (42/43) and 2.3% (1/43) in the multi-coronary lesion group,with no significant difference among the three groups( P ＞0.05).There were no significant difference on the frequency of P12/P12 and A12/P12 between various subgroups defined according to Gensini score (P = 0. 246). Compared to the frequency in non-obese, the frequency of A12/P12 were significantly higher in the obese ( P = 0.028 ). In PPAR gamma 2 genes B the Exton BstuI enzyme restriction site genes, BMI,waist-hip ratio and total cholesterol in the carriers of P12A genotype were significantly higher than those in the P12P genotype carriers ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms might not be associated with CHD in Chinese Han population. The frequency of A12/P12 in obese is significantly higher than that in non-obese. PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms might be associated with adiposity and lipid metabolism.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jianpi pill in the treatment of leucocytopenia induced by anti -thyroid drug.Methods According to the digital table,195 Graves hyperthyroidism patients with leucocytopenia induced by anti -thyroid drug were randomly divided into the observation group(100 cases)and the control group(95 cases).The observation group was given Jianpi pill treatment,while the control group adopted the combination therapy of batilol tablets,leucogen tablets,vitamin B4 tablets.The facial color,whether or not limb weak-ness,whether or not palpitations after strenuous exercise in the two groups were observed.The number of white blood cells and the number of neutrophils in the two groups were observed.3 months later,the curative effect of the two groups was determined according to the degree of cure.Results The total effective rates of the control group and the observation group were 52.63% and 85.00% respectively,the difference was statistically significant between the two groups(χ2 =23.96,P <0.01 ).The disappear infection rates of the control group and the observation group were 25.00% and 69.05% respectively,the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (χ2 =15.93, P <0.01 ).The total effective rates of mild,moderate,severe leucocytopenia were 95.56%,87.50%,46.67%respectively,the difference was statistically significant between mild and severe leucocytopenia (χ2 =16.00,P <0.01),and the difference was statistically significant between moderate and severe leucocytopenia(χ2 =7.94,P <0.01).The excellence rates of mild,moderate,severe leucocytopenia were 48.89%,40.00% and 48.89% respec-tively,the difference was statistically significant between mild and severe leucocytopenia(χ2 =5.92,P <0.01),and the difference was not statistically significant between moderate and severe leucocytopenia(χ2 =2.41,P >0.05).The incidence rates of dry mouth,hyperactive bowel sounds and liver damage,constipation and diarrhea in the control group were 4.21%,2.10% and 1.05% respectively,and the incidence rates of dry mouth,hyperactive bowel sounds and liver damage in the observation group were 3.00% and 1.00% respectively,there was no significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups(P >0.05).Conclusion The curative effect of Jianpi pill in the treatment of Graves hyperthyroidism patients with leucocytopenia induced by anti -thyroid drug is sure,and it is superior to the combination therapy of batilol tablets,leucogen tablets,vitamin B4 tablets.

Objective:To investigate influences of two different HLA-B antigens expressed on K562 cells on receptors expression of NK cells from peripheral blood lymphocytes.Methods:Studied the alteration of the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells before and after PBMC interaction with K562 cells for 24 hours,and also compared the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells after PBMC interaction with two different kind of K562 cells transfected with HLA-B39 and HLA-B51 respectively.Results:After PBMCs were incubated with K562 cells for 24 hours,the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells and the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells were both increased.However,after PBMCs were incubated with K562-HLA-B51 cells for 24 hours,the percentage of KIR3DL1+ cells and the percentage of CD16+CD56+ cells were both decreased in comparison with that interaction with K562-HLA-B39 cells.Conclusion:CD16 up-regulation was associated with an up-regulation of inhibitory receptors(KIR3DL1).The interaction between HLA-Bw4 and KIR3DL1 would down-regulate the expression of KIR3DL1.In addition,KIR3DL1 down-regulation was associated with down-regulation of activating receptors(CD16).

Objective To investigate the association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) with depression using meta analysis. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted to examine depression and interleukin-6 in Chinese patients us-ing“depression”and“interleukin-6”in Databases including PubMed, CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang Data. A me-ta-analysis was performed to analyze correlation between depression and interleukin-6 using RevMan 5.2.8 software. Results A total of 9 studies were recruited, involving 432 depression patients and 277 healthy controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that concentration of IL-6 was higher in depression patients than in healthy controls(SMD=1.48, 95%CI:0.78~2.18,P<0.05). Subgroup analysis in the first-episode subgroup and the non first-episode subgroup showed that concentration of interleukin-6 was higher in depression patients than that in controls [the first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.94,95%CI:0.07~3.81,P<0.05), the non first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.26,95%CI:0.60~1.93,P<0.05)]. Conclusion There is a good correlation between depression and the serum IL-6 concentration. Due to the small number of studies and heterogeneity in different studies, the present meta-analysis has not yet confirmed the quantitative correla-tion between IL-6 and depression.

They secreted ALB and functional enzymes all over their cultivation. Conclusion Human fetal hepatocytes can be maintained keeping function in vitro for several months.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of AngⅡ on collagen in hepatic stellate cell. Methods HSCs were isolated and cultured, 3H-pro incorporation method was used to evaluate the effects of different doses of AngⅡ on the proline syntheses. RT-PCR assay were used to assess changes in mRNA expression levels of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ procollagen. PDGFR-β mRNA and protein were determined by in situ hybridization and immunocytochemistry. Results 10-8~ 10-5 mol/L AngⅡ could significantly increase the 3H-pro incorporation rate of HSC in a dose-dependent style, 10-6 mol/L AngⅡis the most effective dose. The cultured HSC showed a little expression of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ procollagen mRNAs, while 10-6 mol/L AngⅡwas able to enhance the expression for type Ⅰ and Ⅲ procollagen mRNAs significantly(P < 0.01). AngⅡalso could enhance both mRNA and protein expression of PDGFR-β on HSC(P < 0.01). Conclusion These results suggest that AngⅡ could promote HSC collagen synthesis by enhancing the expressions of PDGFR-β.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of adult craniofacial structures on obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHOD: This study compared the measurements of the height, body weight,neck circumference, the mallampati oropharyngeal score grading, thyromental distance, thyromental angle, lobule-mental distance, mental-lower lip distance of 50 patients with OSAHS with those of 50 controls. RESULT: Statistical findings showed that OSAHS patients were different from controls in the following ways: (1) higher neck circumference; (2) larger thyromental angle; (3) higher Mallampati scores; (4) higher body mass index; (5) shorter mental-lower lip distance. CONCLUSION A crowded posterior oropharynx and a steep thyromental plane are associated with OSAHS. The adult craniofacial structures of bony and soft tissue determine the dimension of upper airway during sleep andpaly an important role in the development of OSAHS.
