Autoimmune encephalitis with GABAB receptor antibodies has been rarely reported.Two cases of GABAB receptor antibodies encephalitis were presented here.Epilepsy was the onset symptom,followed by declined consciousness and frequent seizures.Fever was presented in the whole course of the disease.Myorhythmia of the two hands and pilomotor seizures were shown in the later course of the disease.No specificity was demonstrated in electroencephalograms and magnetic resonance imaging.Sensitive response was shown to the first-line immunotherapy.

Objective To observe the influence of chitosan on the skin and soft tissue expansion.Methods Twenty-five patients were selected,who were suitable to be embedded soft tissue expanders in the face,a 100-milliliter expander was implanted in one side of the face,and other side was used as control.A 100-milliliter expander was implanted in each group,and a slender silicon duct was embedded between the expander and subcutaneous tissue in the experimental group.About five to seven days after the operation,the negative drainage tube was removed,and then two-milliliter medical chitosan injected with the silicon duct in the experimental group,but not in the control group.Two groups were injected with normal saline in the second day.The center of expanded skin was pressed and skin elasticity and relaxation were compared between the two groups during the injection interval.The time of injection interval,the quantity of normal saline inside the expanders after two weeks and three weeks and the total time of expansion to 100 milliliters were recorded.After injection was completed in the two groups and maintained for two weeks.In the stage Ⅱ operation,the expanders were taken out,1 cm × 1 cm fibropeplos was removed from the center of the expanded skin flap from the two groups,and pathological section was prepared to measure the thickness of fibropeplos,average gray scale of collagen and the quantity of blood capillaries.The fibroblasts,collagen fiber and capillaries were observed and compared under light microscope.A matched-pairs t analysis was used to analyze the data.Results Compared with the control group,the quantity of normal saline inside the expanders in the experimental group was increased at the same time; the water injection period was shorten and tissue expansion was significantly accelerated.The number of fibroblasts in the fibropeplos decreased with the influence of chitosan.The fibroblasts were restrained to mature period and collegan decreased.The fibropeplos became thinner but the capillaries were not affected.Conclusions Chitoson can inhibit fibroblast proliferation and collagen production,and the effect of accelerating tissue expansion is significant and deserves to be recommended.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the effects of metacarpus and phalanx traction on correction of scar contracture of hand after burn on the palm side retrospectively.

METHODSA total of 32 patients with 39 affected hands with scar contracture on the palm side after burn were hospitalized from May 2010 to December 2014. Method of treatment: scar contracture was conservatively released followed by skin grafting, which was referred to as method A; Kirschner wire was inserted into the middle or distal phalanx of finger with contracture and the corresponding metacarpus in the shape of U for 2 to 7 weeks' traction, which was referred to as method B; traction frame was built based on the traction pile and anchor formed by Kirschner wire inserted through the second to the fifth metacarpus and distal phalanx of finger with contracture, and then the affected fingers were pulled into a straight position with rubber bands for 2 to 6 months, which was referred to as method C. Method A was used in patients who would be treated with thorough release of scar followed by skin grafting routinely. Method B was used in patients who would be treated with intramedullary Kirschner wire fixation after release of scar contracture and skin transplantation routinely. Method C was further used in patients when methods A and B failed to accomplish the expected result. Method C was used in the first place followed by method A in whom there might be vascular decompensation or exposure of tendon and bone after scar release, and those who failed to meet the expectation were treated with method C in addition. Patients who were unwilling to undergo surgery were treated with method C exclusively. During the course of treatment, the presence or absence of infection and slipping of Kirschner wire or its slitting through soft tissue were observed. The presence or absence of tendency of recurrence of scar contracture within 1 to 2 weeks after treatment was observed. The length of palmar skin measuring from the root of finger with contracture to wrist crease was measured before treatment, at the termination of treatment, and 1 month after the termination of treatment. Scar condition was assessed with the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) before treatment and 1, 3, and 6 month(s) after the termination of treatment. Before treatment and 1 month after the termination of treatment, the range of motion was measured with the Total Active Movement (TAM) method; band function was evaluated by the Jebsen Test of Hand Function (JTHF), and the completion time was recorded. Data were processed with analysis of variance, LSD-t test, and t test.

RESULTSTwenty-four patients with 27 affected hands were treated with scheme A + B; 5 patients with 7 affected hands were treated with method C exclusively; 2 patients with 3 affected hands were treated with scheme A + B + C; 1 patient with 2 affected hands were treated with scheme C + A + C. During the course of treatment, no complication such as infection or slicing of tissue was observed, but there was a slight shifting of U-shaped Kirschner wire in 14 affected hands of 13 patients. Tendency of recurrence of scar contracture was observed in 11 affected hands of 10 patients, but the scar contracture did not reoccur after treatment with orthosis. The skin length of palmar side was respectively (131.8 ± 9.8) and (127.6 ± 7.5) mm at the termination of treatment and 1 month after, and they were both significantly longer than that before treatment [(114.5 ± 2.4) mm, with values respectively 10.71 and 10.39, P values below 0.001]. The score of VSS was respectively (9.8 ± 2.4), (9.7 ± 1.7), (9.3 ± 0.8), and (7.7 ± 0.5) points before treatment and 1, 3, and 6 month(s) after the termination of treatment. Only the score at 6 months after the termination of treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (t = 3.28, P < 0.01). The ratio of excellent and good results according to method TAM was respectively 2.6% (1/39) and 94.9% (37/39) before treatment and 1 month after the termination of treatment. The time for JTHF measurement was (13.9 ± 4.1) min before treatment, and it was shortened to (11.0 ± 2.8) min 1 month after the termination of treatment (t = 3.65, P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONSSingle application of metacarpus and phalanx traction or its combination with skin transplantation after scar release in correcting scar contracture of the palm of hand after burn can lengthen the contracted tissue, and it is beneficial for the restoration of function and appearance of affected hand.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of matrine (MAT) on the proliferation of human ovary malignant teratoma cell line PA-1 in vitro.

METHODSPA-1 cells allocated in different groups were treated with different concentrations (0.25 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL and 1.0 mg/mL) of MAT. The inhibitory effect of MAT and its dose- and time-effect relationship were detected with MTT; the apoptosis rate and cell cycle were evaluated by flow cytometry; and the changes of bcl-2/bax mRNA expression in cells were measured using semi-quantitative RT-PCR.

RESULTSAfter being exposed to MAT, the PA-1 cell proliferation was decreased in a concentration- and time-dependent manner; cell apoptosis rate raised as the increasing concentration of MAT and acting time; cells retarded at G1 phase in the cell cycle dose-dependently; and the bcl-2/bax mRNA expression in cells dawn-regulated significantly.

CONCLUSIONMAT can dose- and time-dependently inhibit the proliferation of PA-1 cell by reducing bcl-2/bax mRNA ratio to produce a G1 phase arresting in cell cycle.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of anti-liver fibrosis Chinese patent drugs on renal hypofunction associated with alcoholic liver disease (ALD). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 592 patients with ALD who were admitted to Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University, from August 1, 2008 to March 1, 2016, and according to whether they were treated with Fuzheng Huayu capsules, Anluo Huaxian pills, or Fufang Biejia Ruangan tablets for ≥180 cumulative defined daily doses, they were divided into Chinese medicine group and control group. After propensity score matching at a ratio of 1∶1, two groups were obtained with 187 patients in each group. Related data were recorded, including medical history, drinking amount, routine blood test results, liver and renal function, coagulation, and abdominal imaging findings. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups; the Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the cumulative incidence rate of renal hypofunction between two groups. ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in age, drinking amount, proportion of patients with hypertension or diabetes, baseline aspartate aminotransferase, estimated glomerular filtration rate, uric acid, and prothrombin time, and the patients were followed up for 36 months (range 23-54 months). Uric acid (hazard ratio ［HR］=1.003, 95% confidence interval ［CI］: 1001-1.005, P=0.001), prothrombin time (HR=1.103, 95%CI: 1.034-1.177, P=0.003), and red cell volume distribution width (HR=1.024, 95%CI: 1.011-1.038, P＜0.001) were independent risk factors for renal hypofunction in patients with ALD, and anti-liver fibrosis Chinese patent drug was an independent protective factor against renal hypofunction (HR=0.170, 95%CI: 0.053-0552, P=0.003). The Chinese medicine group had a significantly lower incidence rate of renal hypofunction than the control group (166% vs 32.1%, χ2=10.263, P=0.001). The subgroup analysis of the patients in the Chinese medicine group showed that Chinese medicine treatment for ＞24 months had the best effect (HR=0.210, 95%CI: 0.084-0.525, P=0.001). Compared with the control group, the Chinese medicine group had a significantly longer time to the onset of renal hypofunction (36 months vs 24 months, Z=-2.652, P=0.008). ConclusionAnti-liver fibrosis Chinese patent drugs can reduce the incidence rate and delay the onset of renal hypofunction in patients with ALD.

Objective: To investigate the influence of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligant (TRAIL) deficiency on mice colitis and the gut microbiota composition by inclding the expermental colitis model in tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand gene knockout (TRAIL^-/-) mice. Methods: C57BL/6 TRAIL^-/- mice and wild type (WT) mice were selected and assigned into TRAIL^-/- control group (eight mice), TRAIL^-/- colitis group (16 mice), WT control group (eight mice) and WT colitis group (16 mice). The mice of two colitis groups were oral administrated with 3.5% dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) in drinking water for seven consecutive days to induce experimental colitis model. The severity of colitis was evaluated by clinical appearance and histopathological examination. The colonic tissue samples of mice were collected and microbiota profile was analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing method. USEARCH software and R language were used to analyze the difference of gut microbiota among TRAIL^-/- control group, TRAIL^-/- colitis group, WT control group and WT colitis group. T test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Results: After modeling, the disease activity index (DAI) of WT colitis mice and TRAIL^-/- colitis mice both gradually increased over time. Furthermore, compared with colitis mice, TRAIL^-/- colitis mice developed body weight loss, diarrhea and hemafecia earlier. On the seventh day after modeling, the percentage of body weight loss of TRAIL^-/- colitis mice and WT colitis mice was (28.98±2.84)% and (17.87±3.70)%, respectively; and the difference was statistically significant (t=9.53, P<0.01). The length of colon of TRAIL^-/- colitis mice was shorter than that of WT colitis mice ((4.63±0.28) cm vs. (6.02±0.41) cm), and the difference was statistically significant (t=11.20, P<0.01). The DAI of TRAIL^-/- colitis mice was higher than that of WT colitis mice (3.00±0.00 vs. 2.32±0.05), and the difference was statistically significant (t=54.40, P<0.01). The histological score of TRAIL^-/- colitis mice was higher than that of WT colitis mice (6.19±0.25 vs. 3.87±0.22), and the difference was statistically significant (t=27.87, P<0.01). Under the microscope, colonic mucosal epithelial injury, crypt structure destruction and inflammatory cell infiltration were more obvious in TRAIL^-/- colitis mice than in WT colitis mice. The alpha diversity of colonic flora was more significant in TRAIL^-/- colitis group compared with that of WT colitis group. At the family level, the relative richness of Deferribacteraceae, Ruminococcaceae, Rikenellaceae, F16 and Paraprevotellaceae significantly increased in TRAIL^-/- colitis group, but the relative richness of Enterococcaceae obviously reduced ((19.839±19.991)% vs. (7.224±11.241)%, (3.564±2.543)% vs.(2.861±3.821)%, (0.123±0.066)% vs. (0.068±0.049)%, (0.032±0.033)% vs. (0.006±0.011)%, (0.153±0.098)% vs. (0.062±0.054)% and (0.013±0.027)% vs. (0.054±0.121)%, respectively; U=51, 69, 53, 35, 49 and 69, respectively; P<0.01 and 0.05, respectively). In addition, at the genus level the relative richness of Oscillospira, Mucispirillum and Cytophaga in TRAIL^-/- colitis group remarkably elevated, and the relative richness of Enterococcus significantly decreased ((2.363±2.147)% vs. (1.813±2.847)%, (19.839±19.991)% vs. (7.223±11.241)%, (0.104±0.153)% vs. (0.046±0.069)% and (0.076±0.049)% vs. (0.135±0.074)%, respectively; U=70, 51, 66 and 65, respectively; P <0.05 and 0.01, respectively). Conclusion TRAIL deficiency aggravate DSS-induced colitis, and increase the alpha diversity of colonic microbiota in colitis mice.
