Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma anti-β2-glycoprotein I (anti-β2-GP I )and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Eighty-onepatients with SLE [the mean age was (45±18) years old,among whom 73 were female and 8 were male] and20 controls [the mean age was (43±17) years old,among whom 14 were female,and 6 were male] wereenrolled.Plasma anti-β2-GP I was measured by ELLSA.The relationship between plasma anti-β2-GP I level and CVD in SLE patients was investigated with Logistic regression model.T-test,x2 test,Spearman's correlations and Logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results Mean plasma anti-β2-GP I increased significantly in SLE group compared to control group [ (29± 19) vs (14±8) U/ml,t=2.035,P＜0.05].The plasma levels of anti-β2-GP I were higher in SLE patients with CVD than those without [(41±25)vs (18±12) U/ml,t=2.038,P＜0.05].Plasma anti-β2-GP I level was positively correlated with triglyceride (r=0.337,P＜0.05) and renal lesions (r=0.489,P＜0.01 ).Plasma anti-B2-GP [ level was negatively correlated with high density lipoproteins (r=-0.385,P＜0.05 ) and complement (r=-0.497,P＜0.05 ) level.Logistic regression analysis showed that plasma anti-β2-GP I (β=0.675,95％CI0.5070.816,P＜0.05) was an independent risk factor for CVD in SLE patients.Conclusion The level of plasma anti-β2-GP I in SLE patients with CVD is high,and it may play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of CVD in SLE patients.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of mesenteric vascular thrombosis (MVT) in patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS).Methods The cases reports about MVT in patients with APS were searched in Pubmed and Chinese biomedical database (1983.1-2007.7) and then were analyzed.Results There were 13 males and 8 females in 21 patients.The average age was (37±17) years (5months～69 years).Three cases (14%) had a history of deep venous thrombosis and 4 (19%) had spontaneous abortions.The course of disease was 4 hours to 4 months.The clinical manifestations included abdominal pain 18 (86%),hemafecia or melaena 4 (19%),vomiting 3 (14%),diarrhea 2 (10%),hematemesis 2(10%).Physical signs included abdominal tenderness in 10(48%),peritoneal irritation signs in 5 (24%),shifting dullness in 3 (14%) anddecreased bowel sounds in 3 (14%).Mesenteric vascular thrombosis were detected through B uhrasonography (3/10,33%),abdominal CT (9/13,69%),MRI (4/4,100%),Doppler ultrasound (4/4,100%),angiography (6/6,100%).Eighteen cases (86%) had positive anti-cardiophospholipin antibody and 14 (67%) were IgG-subtype.Lupus anticoagulants were detected in 4 (19%).Sixteen cases reee-ived exploratory laparotomy,lsehemia or necrosis of intestine were found in 9(56%).In 21 cases,superior mesenteric vein thrombosis,suprior mesenteric artery thrombosis,inferior mesenteric vein thrombosis,inferior mesenteric artery thrombosis were discovered in 17 (81%),4 (19%),0 (0%),1 (5%)patients respectively.Portal vein was also involved in 7 (33%) cases who had superior mesenteric vein thrombosis.Conclusion Superior mesenteric vein is usually involved in patients with APS who have MVT.MVTs are always occurr in middle-age male patients.Some patients have deep vein thrombosis or spontaneous abortion before MVT.The disease may be fulminant or had is insidious in onset.Abdominal pain and intestinal obstruction are the most common manifestations.IgG-subtype anticardiophospholipin antibodiesare the common antibodies discovered in these patients.Combined more than one image methods can detect the thrombi effectively.Anticoagulation and essential exploratory laparotomy are effective interventions in most cases.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of mycophenolate mofetil(MMF) on systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (SPAP), right ventricle index (RVI), cytokines, receptors of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) rat models. MethodsThe rat models of monocrotaline (MCT)-PAH were developed. Thinty-two Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided randomly into four groups: the control group, the MCT, the MCT +low-dose MMF (20 mg·kg-1·d-1, MMF 20) and the MCT + high-dose MMF(40 mg·kg-1·d-1, MMF 40).There were eight rats in each group. SPAP, RVI, cytokines and receptor in the serum and lung tissue were measured in all rats. Comparisons between multiple groups were performed with q test and rank sum test.Results① Low-dose and high-dose MMF group were compared with the MCT group, SPAP[(40±13),(53±10) vs (68±10) mm Hg]and RVI(0.36±0.06, 0.38±0.03 vs 0.44±0.05) were reduced and showed statistically significant difference respectively(P＜0.05). (②) Compared with the MCT group, basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) of serum in both low-dose and high-dose MMF group were reduced and showed statistical difference respectively[(2.3±1.9), (2.7:t±1.3) vs (6.9±5.4) pg/ml, P＜0.05]. ③ Low-dose and high-dose MMF group were compared with the MCT group and showed that MA was decreased and the musculization of arterial wall was improved. ConclusionMMF can reduce SASP, RVI, number of MA. The inhibitory effect of MMF in PAH is possibly by inhibiting cytokines and receptors.

Objective The aim of this study was to detect the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OH-D)and anti-vitamin D levels in new cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),and to investigate their clinical significance.Methods Fifty patients who fulfilled the ACR criteria for the classification of SLE and 36 healthy donors were included.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed for serum 25 [OH] D and anti-vitamin D level measurement.Statistical methods used were t-test and Pearson's correalation analysis.Results The serum 25-OH-D level in SLE was (13±6) ng/ml,and the level in healthy donors wase (17±8)ng/ml,P =0.007); the difference was statistically significant.A significant negative correlation was demonstrated between the serum level of vitamin D and the 24 h urinary protein excretion (r=-0.314,P＜0.01),and the level of serum creatinine (r=-0.322,P＜0.01).Anti-vitamin D antibody was detected in 6 of 50 patients with SLE,in 10 of 36 sera from healthy donors.There was no difference of 25-OH-D level between the anti-vitamin D antibody positive group and anti-vitamin D antibodu negative group [(13±6) and (14±6) ng/ml in the SLE group; (17±6) and (18±9) ng/ml in the healthy control group].Conclusion The serum 25-OH-D level in SLE is low; however,it is not correlated with Anti-vitamin D antibody,but is correlated with renal lesions.So the serum 25-OH-D level may be important in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Objective To investigate the effect of mycophenolic acid (MPA) on the endotheline-1 (ET-1) induced proliferation, contraction and migration of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs)and to explore the mechanism of MPA on pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and the effect of exogenous guanosine nucleotide reversing anti-proliferative effect of MPA. Paired-samples t-test was used for statistical analysis. Methods MTT test, scarification test, Millicell cell culture insertion and the length of PASMCs mcasured under microscope were used. Results The A values of group ET-1 + low concentration MPA decreased when compared with group ET-1 (0.348±0.036 vs 0.447±0.013, t=6.357, P=0.000) and the A values of group ET-1 + high concentration MPA was further decreased. The A values of group ET-1 + low concentration MPA + guanosine was higher than that of group ET-1 + low concentration MPA (0.390±0.018 vs 0.348 ±0.036, t=2.573, P=0.028). The average migration distance and the average migration numbers of PASMCs of groups MPA was decreased than that of group ET-1. The average cell length of PASMCs of groups MPA was increas ed than that of group ET-1. Conclusion MPA can effectively inhibit the proliferation,contraction and migration of PASMCs by ET-1 induction. The IMPDH may play a role in anti-proliferative effect of MPA on PASMCs, but is unnecessary to be the sole mechanism. These findings has provide new insight into the mechanisms of mycophenolate mofetil in the treatment of PAH.
