Objective To Investigate the effects of antipsoriatic drugs on 5 lipoxygenase(5－LO) and set up a relevant pharmacodynamic method. Methods 5－ LO products, leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and 5 hydroxyeicosatetraenoic(5－HETE), we re determined by RP－HPLC to represent 5－LO activity. Results Cyclosporin A( CyA) and triptolide(T0) inhibited the production of LTB4 and 5－HETE in a dose dependent manner, while erythromycin did without dose dependence. The 50％ inhibitory concentration values(IC50) of CyA inhibiting LTB4 and 5－HETE were 3 8.0? g/mL and 0.96? g/mL, respectively. The IC50 of T0 inhibiting LTB4 and 5－ HETE were 2.3? 10－6? g/mL and 1.14? 10－6? g/mL, respectively. Conclusio ns The anti inflammatory effect of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f. may be partl y explained by its inhibition of 5－LO activity. The anti inflammatory effect of CyA has no clinical significance since the inhibitory concentration of CyA h as exceeded its pharmacological limitation. Erythromycin has no effect on 5－LO activity.

Objective To analyse distribution of age and gender characteristics of specific IgG(sIgG)antibodies and specific IgE (sIgE)antibodies of 13 types of food allergens in patients with food anaphylaxis,and to explore the relationship between sIgG and sIgE in food anaphylaxis.Methods 314 cases of patients from 2009 to 2012 were selected as subjects,and divided into underage group(1 63 cases)and adult group(1 5 1 cases).Serum sIgG of 13 types of food allergens were detected by using enzyme linked immu-nosorbent assay,serum sIgE of these food allergens were detected by using immune capture.Results 80.25% of the patients were sIgG-positive,and no obvious gender differences were found;while the positive rates of sIgG in the underage group(94.48%)were higher than that in the adult group(64.90%),there were statistically significant differences(P < 0.05 ).34.39% of the patients were sIgE-positive.The positive rates of sIgE in male patients(40.68%)were higher than that in female patients(26.28%),and that in the underage group(55.21%)were also higher than that in the adults group(1 1.92%),there were statistically significant differences(P <0.05).Conclusion The total positive rates and its distribution characteristics of sIgG and sIgE of same food aller-gens were obviously different.Food anaphylaxis might be associated with age,gender,food types and individual diversity.

Cai which are stem or heartwood of trees or stem of woody liana are a kind of medicinal plant resources traditionally used by Li Minoriy. Ethnobotanical methods were adopted for the investigation on traditional utilization of cai. Totally, 44 species in 26 families and 30 genera were reported to be used as cai. Most of the species were applied as decoction (70.5%) and medicinal liquor (27.3%) to treat a wide range of diseases, such as rheuma-toid arthritis (34.1%), liver diseases (18.2%), injuries and weak (15.9% respectively). Through literature survey, it was found that 7 species (15.9%) were used by Li Minority only. Besides, 13 species (29.5%) were used differently compared with that of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Consequently, it is indicated that indigenous knowledge of using medicinal plants by Li Minority is unique.

This study was aimed to observe different forms of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) and insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) in the hippocampus and cortex in order to further explore the role of Aβ and IDE on spleen yin deficiency di-abetes-associated cognitive decline (DACD), and the effect of Zi-Bu Pi-Y in method. The rats were randomly divided into five groups, which were the blank control (Cont) group, diabetes (DM) group, spleen yin deficiency (pi) group, spleen yin deficiency diabetes (piDM) group and Zi-Bu Pi-Y in recipe (ZBPYR) group. Soluble and insoluble Aβ in the hippocampus and cortex of rats were extracted by gradient centrifugation, and then measured by ELISA. The ex-pression of IDE was observed by western blot. The results showed that the content of soluble and insoluble Aβ1-42 in the hippocampus and cortex of the DM group and piDM group were higher than the Cont group. The soluble and in-soluble Aβ1-42 content in the hippocampus and cortex of the ZBPYR group were reduced compared with the DM group and the piDM group. The soluble Aβ1-40 in the cortex of the DM group, pi group and piDM group were in-creased compared with the Cont group (P < 0.05). The soluble Aβ1-40 content of the ZBPYR group was decreased compared with the DM group and the piDM group (P < 0.05). The expression of IDE protein was decreased in the hippocampus of the DM group and the piDM group compared with the Cont group (P< 0.05), and the IDE protein level in the hippocampus of the ZBPYR group was increased compared with the DM group and the piDM group (P<0.05). The expression of IDE protein in the cortex of the DM group, pi group and piDM group was lower than the Cont group (P< 0.05). The IDE protein level in the cortex of the ZBPYR group was reduced compared to the DM group (P< 0.05). It was concluded that the increased Aβ1-42 in brain may be a major pathological change of DACD and spleen yin deficiency DACD. The decreased IDE expression may be one of the reasons to induce increasing of Aβ1-42 level. The Zi-Bu Pi-Y in method may decrease the Aβ1-42 content by upregulating IDE protein expression.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of SAA in rheumatoid arthritis(RA) pathogenesis by analyzing the expression of serum amyloid protein A(SAA) in serum,synovial fluid and synovial membrane in patients with RA.MethodsSAA levels in the serum and synovial fluid in each group were detected.Sera SAA was tested by Western blotting,while the expression of SAA in RA and osteoarthritis(OA) synovium was detected by immunohistochemistry.Comparisons between groups were performed by t-tests or KruskaWallis test.ResultsThe serum levels of SAA were significantly higher in RA [(318±132) μg/L] than those in OA [(127±47) μg/L] and healey controls [(127±41) μg/L,P＜0.01].In RA,the SAA levels in the synovial fluid [ (571±473) μg/L ] were significantly higher when compared to those in O A [ (129±33) μg/L](t=2.46,P=0.04).Western blotting results showed that SAA bands were found in the serum samples of each group,and higher expression of SAA were seen in RA.Pathology study had showed that SAA was observed mainly in endothelial cells,synovial fibroblasts,macrophages and perivascular areas in RA synovium.In OA,SAA was observed in perivascular areas and synovial fibroblasts.ConclusionIn RA,SAA levels in both serum and synovial fluid are significantly higher than those in the controls.High expression of SAA in RA synovium can be observed.Our results suggest that SAA may play a role in inflammation reaction and joint destruction of RA.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum apolipoprotein A-I and its clinical significance to acute respiratory infection.Method Totally 44 patients with acute respiratory infection were divided into three groups according to various concentration of Serum apolipoprotein A-I.They were procaleitonin(PCT)＜0.5 ng/ml group,0.5 ng/ml≤PCT＜2 ng/ml group and PCT≥2 ng/ml group.We measured apolipoprotein A-I,C-reactive protein,procalcitonin and albumin within 24 hours after admission.Results With the increase of serumPCT,the production of ApoA-I and albumin were down-regulated,while CRP up-regulated.Conclusions Apolipoprotein A-I has a sound relationship with the acute respiratory infection.It can be used as one of the diagnostic criteria in severe infection patients who have disorders of lipometabolism.
