BACKGROUND: Reumatoid arthritis (RA) is a well-known autoimmune disease. Recently, polyglycosides of tripterygium wilfordii hook F (T Ⅱ), a traditional Chinese herb, has been widely used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.But the effects of TⅡ on the joints' synovium inflammation and whether TⅡcan prevent the reumatoid arthritis need to be investigated further.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of T Ⅱ on the relative data of ankle joints of adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats.DESIGN: A randomized controlled experiment based on rats. SETTING: Departments of Histology and Embryology and Neurobiology, West China School of Preclinical and Forensic Medicine, Sichuan University. MATERIALS: A total of 20 healthy clean grade female SD rats, aged 2 to 3 months old, weighing 185-215 g, were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of West China Medical Center of Sichuan University. Fre und's complete adjuvant (FCA) was produced by Sigma Company. TⅡ was produced by Zhuzhou 3rd pharmacy of Hunan Province (certification number: 2005 No 055172, 10 mg/pill).METHODS: The experiment was completed in Department of Histology and Embryology and Neurobiology in Sichuan University from May 2004 to March 2005. ① All the 20 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 5 rats in each group by lots: normal group, without Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) injection and TⅡ administration; model group, with FCA intradermal injection (0.2 mL) into the left hind paw and without TⅡ administration; TⅡ preventive group, first we use the same way as model group to replicate the AA model in rats, then on the 7th day AA rats were feed by TⅡ 30 mg/kg every day for 7 days; TⅡ therapeutic group, AA rats model were built with the same way as model group, on the 19th day AA rats were feed by TⅡ 30 mg/kg every day for 7 days. During this period, the swelling dimension of hind paw both primary and secondary are mea sured before immunization with FCA and after immunization, that was, on the 2nd, 10th, 15th, 19th, 22nd and 26th days. ② Arthritis index have been recorded according to inflammatory state of other three uninjected limbs.③ On the 28th day, all the rats were killed, the ankle joints are collected after perfusion-fixation. These joints were sectioned and colorated with H. E staining. Then we observe the histopathological changes in the synovium of ankle joints. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Swelling dimension of joints and arthritis index, histopathology of anklebone joint's synovium. RESULTS: All of the 20 rats completed the experiment without missing. ① On the 2nd day after FCA injection, the primary hind paw of other three groups beside normal group appeared obvious swelling; from 2nd to 26th days, the volume of hind paw in other three groups was larger than that of normal group (t=2.315-3.041, P ＜ 0.05). The volume of primary hind paw in TⅡ preventive group at different time points (10th, 15th, 19th, 22nd and 26th days) was obviously less than that of model group (t=2.064-2.683, P ＜ 0.05). The volume of primary hind paw in TⅡ therapeutic group on the 22nd and 26th days was less than that of model group (t=2.112-2.578, P ＜ 0.05). Fifteen days after FCA injection, the volume of secondary hind paw in model group and T Ⅱ therapeutic group was larger than that of normal group (t=2.201-2.546, P ＜ 0.05). On the 15th, 19th, 22nd and 26th days, the volume of secondary hind paw in T Ⅱ preventive group was obviously less than that of model group (t=2.373-2.425, P ＜ 0.05). The volume of secondary hind paw in T Ⅱ therapeutic group on the 26th day was obviously less than model group (P ＜ 0.05). ② On the 14th day after FCA injection(after T Ⅱ preventive administration for 7 days), arthritis index of model group was (8.3±2.0) points, while arthritis index of TⅡ preventive group was (0.4±0.95) points (t=2.64, P ＜ 0.05), there was an obvious decline in T Ⅱ preventive group compared with model group. On the 26th day after FCA injection (after TⅡ therapeutic administration for 7 days), arthritis index of model group was (11.2±0.7), whileinflammatory disease in AA rats and prevent the secondary arthritis in the rats of AA as well.

Objective To investigate the effect-site concentration for 50% of maximal effect (EC50 )of propofol required for loss of consciousness and onset of burst suppression and to assess the effect of target-control infusion(TCI)of remifentanil on these EC50 of propofol.Methods Sixty patients undergoning general anesthesia for scheduled surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=30):group R received TCI of remifentanil with a target concentraton of 4 ng/ml 10 minutes before TCI of propofol,which started at a target plasma concentration of 1μg/ml and then increased by 1μg/ml step every 1 minute until the burst suppression ratio reach to 15%.Group N received a mock TCI of saline instead of remifentanil and the other procedures were as same as group R.During this,all patients were assessed by modified Observ-er’s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S)scale,the loss of consciousness was definited by modified OAA/S values less than 2,the onset of burst suppression was definited by 15% of burst suppression ratio. Results The EC50 of effect-site concentration of propofol required for loss of consciousness and onset of burst suppression were 2.35 (95%CI 2.29-2.41)and 6.31 (95%CI 6.13-6.47)μg/ml respectively.The EC50 of propofol required for loss of consciousness was decreased to 1.73μg/ml by TCI of remifentanil,but the EC50 of propofol required for onset of burst suppression did not changed by TCI of remifentanil. Conclusion TCI of remifentanil could decrease the EC50 of propofol effect-site concentration required for loss of consciousness but has no effect on the EC50 of propofol required for onset of burst suppression.

Objective To investigate the effect of geraniin on expression of Wnt3a protein and mRNA in bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) from osteoporotic rats. Methods The model of osteoporosis (OP) was duplicated by ovariectomy in rats. BMSCs were isolated and cultured. BMSCs from shamed rats were routinly cultured and taken as normal control, and BMSCs from OP rats were divided into model group, 1μmol/L simvastatin positive group, and geraniin group (0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 μmol/L), respectively. The methods of realtime-PCR and western blot were used to assay the protein and mRNA expression of wnt3a, respectively.Results As compared with normal control group, the protein and mRNA expression of wnt3a in model group were significantly suppressed;Compared with model group, 1 μmol/L simvastatin, and 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 μmol/L geraniin significantly increased the expression of wnt3a protein and mRNA. Conclusion It is suggested that geraniin activates wnt/β-catenin pathway though increasing the expression of signaling protein wnt 3a in BMSCs from OP rats. It would be beneficial to osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and osteogenesis.

Purpose To explore the predictive value of myocardial perfusion in assessing myocardial systolic function recovery after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI),in order to improve poor prognosis by early detection of myocardial no-reflow.Materials and Methods Forty nine patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who had received PPCI were chosen as subjects.All the patients underwent two-dimensional strain (2DS) images and resting real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) within one week after surgery,and 2DS measurement was repeated after three months.2DS imaging was used to acquire longitudinal peak systolic strain (LPSS) at all myocardial segments.Based on the graphs of LPSS,left ventricular myocardium was divided into normal contractile function myocardium (red) and impaired contractile function myocardium (light red,blue).According to the myocardial perfusion scores (MPS) qualitatively assessed by MCE visual interpretation,the myocardia with impaired systolic function were categorized into three groups with different perfusion level.The changes of LPSS within one week and three months after surgery (△ LPSS) among the three groups were analyzed.The correlation between MPS and LPSS within one week and three months after PPCI was also analyzed respectively.Results The △ LPSS increased significantly among the three groups with the improvement of myocardial perfusion level [(-5.78±6.23)％ vs.(-4.37±6.60)％ vs.(-1.21 ±4.77)％,all P＜0.05].The MPS measured one week after PPCI was both positively correlated with the LPSS detected within one week after surgery and that after three months (r=0.47,0.58,P＜0.001).The consistence of myocardial perfusion scores given by two evaluators was good (Kappa=0.785,P＜0.05).Conclusion The level of myocardial perfusion after PPCI in patients with AMI is closely related to regional myocardial systolic function,and the improvement of myocardial perfusion can forecast the recovery of regional systolic function.

Objective To evaluated the value of myocardial perfusion before delayed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for predicting the recovery of systolic function of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods A total of 64 patients with AMI receiving delayed PCI treatment in the First People's Hospital of Foshan from January 2014 to June 2015 were selected.One day prior to delayed PCI,all of the patients underwent two dimensional strain to measure the longitudinal peak systolic strain (LPSS) of each left ventricular segment and the global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricle.The myocardial perfusion score (MPS) and the perfusion score index (PSI) were measured by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE).Left ventricular myocardial perfusions were classified as good,reduced,or absent.The two dimensional strain measurements were again conducted at 6 months after the delayed PCI to assess LPSS and GLS.The change of GLS and LPSS between one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI was assessed by paired t-test.The differences of LPSS among good,reduced,or absent myocardial perfusion groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA.LSD-t test was used to compare in pairs of groups that had different values.The correlations between PSI and GLS,MPS and LPSS were assessed by Spearman's rank-correlation test.Results The GLS of all patients were higher at six months after delayed PCI than at one day prior to delayed PCI [(-15.39±7.80)％ vs (-12.44±8.38)％,t=14.398,P ＜ 0.001].The LPSS of myocardial perfusion in good,reduced and absent groups at one day prior to delayed PCI were (-2.64±5.60)％,(-6.19±6.87)％ and (-12.07±5.86)％,respectively.The LPSS of myocardial perfusion in good,reduced and absent groups at six months after delayed PCI were (-2.97 ± 4.93)％,(-11.38± 7.26)％ and (-15.82 ± 5.97)％,respectively.The myocardial LPSS of left ventricular segment with good or reduced perfusion was significantly higher at six months after delayed PCI (t=13.013,10.821,both P ＜ 0.001),but the LPSS of left ventricular segment with absent perfusion was similar to that of pre-PCI.Whether at one day prior to delayed PCI or six months after delayed PCI,there were significant differences in LPSS parameters among the three groups (at one day prior to delayed PCI,myocardial perfusion absent vs reduced or good,t=4.201 and 11.771,both P ＜ 0.001;myocardial perfusion reduced vs good,t=12.561,P ＜ 0.001;at six months after delayed PCI,myocardial perfusion absent vs reduced or good,t=9.714 and 15.646,both P ＜ 0.001;myocardial perfusion reduced vs good,t=9.254,P ＜ 0.001).The LPSS both at one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI in myocardial perfusion good group ＞ those of myocardial perfusion reduced group ＞ those of myocardial perfusion absent group.PSI was positively correlated with GLS at both one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI (r=0.69,0.72,both P ＜ 0.001).MPS was positively correlated with LPSS at both one day prior to delayed PCI and six months after delayed PCI (r=0.49 and 0.45,both P ＜ 0.001).Conclusion Myocardial perfusion before delayed PCI,monitored by MCE,is correlated well with myocardial systolic function,and may be used to predict the recovery of myocardial systolic function after delayed PCI.
