Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lysophospholipid signaling molecule that regulates important biological functions in both intracellular and extracellular compartments. It interacts with five G protein-coupled receptors subtypes (S1PR(1-5)) to generate multiple downstream signaling. Activation of S1PR1 has been validated to be involved in the process of immune modulation. Fingolimod (FTY720), the novel S1PR1 agonist, has been approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in clinical trials. The study towards discovery of selective S1PR1 agonists has become hot spot for immunological diseases. This article summarized the research progress of S1PR1 agonists, emphasizing their structure types, structure-activity relationship and direction of development.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of intramedullary nailing combined with bone cement in repair of segmental bone defects after tumor resection.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 5 patients with malignant bone tumor who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics, Qiannan People's Hospital from April 2018 to September 2019 for remaining segmental bone defects following limb salvage surgery. They were 4 males and one female, aged from 11 to 55 years (average, 35.4 years). Their defects ranged from 6 to 21 cm (average, 12.3 cm) after tumor resection. By the Karnofsky performance score (KPS) for long-term quality of life, all of them scored less than 50 points. Of them, 3 were treated by interlocking intramedullary nails and bone cement filling, and 2 by elastic intramedullary nails and bone cement filling. In the 2 cases with defects of 21 cm and 13 cm, the fixation was assisted by a plate and an external fixator. Defect length after resection, operation time and intraoperative bleeding were recorded; the efficacy was evaluated by the Enneking functional evaluation of reconstructive procedures after surgical treatment of tumors of the musculoskeletal system, visual analogue scale (VAS), and KPS.Results:All the 5 patients had uneventful surgery, with operation time ranging from 112 to 225 min (average, 154.2 min), intraoperative bleeding from 300 to 500 mL (average, 382 mL), and defect length after resection from 6 to 21 cm. The 5 patients were followed up for 6 to 28 months. Of them, 2 died of disease progression 6 and 7 months after surgery, respectively. According to the Enneking's evaluation, one patient scored 28 points, 2 patients 23 points and 2 patients 21 points, giving a high degree of satisfaction. Their VAS scores 6 months after surgery ranged from 1 to 6, averaging 3.6; their postoperative KPS scores ranged from 60 to 80, averaging 72.Conclusion:In repair of segmental bone defects after tumor resection, intramedullary nailing combined with bone cement filling can relieve pain of patients and lead to satisfactory short-term curative efficacy.

Objective To investigate the correlation between immune cell function and the infection after renal transplantation through monitoring of immune function intracellular ATP by Cylex ImmuKnow assay,and explore its significance in individual immunosuppressive therapy of renal transplantion recipients.Method We collected 44 renal transplant patients suffered from pulmonary infection from January 2014 to March 2015.The patients were divided into two groups according to the clinical status,namely,ImmuKnow monitoring group (n =22) and empirical treatment group (n =22).Thirty-two non-infection recipients were collected as controls.All the kidney transplantation recipients received immunosuppressive therapy based on calcineurin inhibitors,mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone,and ATG for induction therapy after transplantatior.The immune cell function levels were measured by Cylex ImmuKnow assay.The whole blood samples were collected before infection onset,at the time of infection,and 1 week after infection resolution.Result When infection occurred,ATP concentrations in CD4+ T cells of the kidney transplant recipients were significantly lower than those in non-infection group [(151.30--71.35 ng/mL vs.(308.34 ± 141.29 ng/mL,P＜0.05).When the infection got controlled,the ATP concentrations in CD4+ T cells increased to those before infection occurred.The average hospitalization time in ImmuKnow monitoring group was 12.27 ± 0.74 days,which was significantly shorter than in empirical treatment group (16.64 ± 1.98 days,P＜ 0.05).The incidence of acute rejection was 4.5％ in ImmuKnow monitoring group,and 13.6％ in empirical treatment group (P＞0.05).Conclusion The examination of ATP in CD4+ T cells by Cylex Immuknow assay could reflect the status of cellular immunity,provide reliable and objective basis for the diagnosis and treatment of infection after renal transplantation,and guide the clinical individualized immunosuppressive therapy.

Objective investigate the correlation between plasma soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (sRAGE) and arterial stiffness in patients with different types of metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods A total of 180 subjects were drawn from a epidemiologic follow-up study,including 60 cases non-metabolic syndrome (NMS),60 cases metabolic syndrome without diabetes mellitus (NDMMS),60 cases metabolic syndrome with diabetes mellitus (DMMS).Carotid femoral arterial pulse wave velocity (CFPWV) was assessed by the French KangPuLe atherosclerosis measurement instrument,and plasma sRAGE levels were measured by ELISA.Comparison of mean in multiple groups was conducted by analysis of variance.Multivariate analysis was done with multiple linear stepwise regression analysis.P ＜ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant difference.Results Compared with NMS group,plasma sRAGE levels were significantly lower in DMMS and NDMMS groups [(635.07 ± 229.20) pg/mL vs.(671.17 ± 358.16) pg/mL vs.(992.99 ± 427.83) pg/mL,P =0.001].CFPWV of DMMS group was significantly higher than that of NMDMS and NMS groups (14.22 ±3.14) m/s vs.(12.15 ±2.79) m/s vs.(11.66 ± 2.52) m/s,P =0.002).Plasma sRAGE level was negatively correlated with CFPWV (r =-0.278,P =0.005).(3) Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that age (β =-0.091,95％ CI-0.096 ～-0.095,P =0.031),HDL-C (β =1.295,95％ CI 1.231 ～ 1.360,P =0.022) and sRAGE (β =0.119,95％ CI 0.118 ～ 0.130,P =0.032) had a significant effect on CFPWV.Conclusions The increased arterial stiffness is closely related to the discreased plasma sRAGE levels in MS.Plasma sRAGE maybe a novel target for vascular disease prevention and treatment in patients with metabolic syndrome.

0.05). It was revealed by correlation analysis that p-AMY level was negative correlated with that of fasting serum glucose (r=-0.127 6), 2h-glucose (r=-0.096 4) and GSP (r=-0.109 4), implying the hyper-glucose might increase pancreas fibrosis and lead to decreased secretion of p-AMY. Conclusion Changes of serum digestive enzymes are correlated with the progress of diabetes mellitus and hypertension, may reflect the pancreatic function, and should be much concerned.

Objective To observe the growth characteristic of bulge-originated cells from human hair follicles in vitro. Methods The bulges which were isolated from human hair follicles by dispase and microdissection were cultured. The morphological and biological characteristic of the cultured bulge cells were observed by light microscopy and immunocytochemistry (ICC). Results Proliferated cells could be observed in the second day after being inoculated. The number of these cells, with greater proliferation potential, reached the peak at the sixth day and maintain several days. In addition, the mitotic figures appeared and the cells behave the similar morphologic features, meanwhile the cells strongly expressed K19 and showed a descensive tendency in long-time growth.Conclusion The cultured bulge cells kept the primitive characteristic, which suggested that the putative follicle stem cells resided in the bulge area.;

The study is to prepare taste masking and enteric-coated clarithromycin granules by melting and fluid bed coating technology. Clarithromycin and matrix materials were melted at a certain temperature, and then made into particles by fluidized bed coating. X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to identify the crystal and morphology of drug loading granules. In vitro dissolution method was used for the observation of the drug release behavior. The results showed that the drug particles size range was 0.2 - 0.6 mm; the crystal form of clarithromycin in the granule did not change; enteric-coated granules accumulated release in 0.1 mol L(-1) hydrochloric acid in 2 h was less than 10%, while in pH 6.8 phosphate buffer in 1 h was more than 80%. The taste masking and enteric-coated clarithromycin granules not only have good taste masking effect, but also have a good release behavior. It is expected to have better clinical application.

The expressions of estrogen receptor (ER) α,ERβ1,and ERβ2 in thyroid carcinoma,thyroid adenoma,and adjacent normal thyroid tissue were determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry,and the relationship of expression levels of three ERs and the main clinical pathologic parameters were evaluated.The result showed that ERα mRNA expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) tissues was significantly higher than adjacent normal tissue,while,ERβ2 mRNA expression in PTC tissues was significantly lower than normal tissue ( P＜0.05 ).The positive expression of ERβ1 and ERβ2 in the thyroid carcinoma was related with the histological variant of carcinomas; the ERβ2 expressions were related with the lymph node metastasis and TNM staging of the carcinomas.These results suggest that the decreased ERβ2 expression may induce proliferation and carcinogenesis of thyroid follicular epithelial cells as well as progression of the carcinoma,and is a powerful prognostic indicator.

Objective:The purpose of this study is to determine levels of Ghrelin,TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B,liver cirrhosis,and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which diagnosed at different extent of damage,and based on it to have a further study on the relevance between Ghrelin and inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood in above diseases.Methods:Ghrelin,TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in peripheral blood were determined by ELISA method.Results:In patients with chronic hepatitis B andhepatic cirrhosis,Ghrelin level increased significantly as compared with that in normal control group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Ghrelin levels in decompensated liver cirrhosis (degree B and C)groups were much higher than in chronic hepatitis B group (P＜0.05). Ghrelin level in group of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease decreased significantly as compared with that in normal control group (P<0.01). Ghrelin and inflammatory cytokines,including TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 showed a positive relevances in groups of chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis,but not in NAFLD group which showed a negative correlations.Conclusion:Ghrelin has a higher level in peripheral blood of patients with chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis,but it has a lower level in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,suggesting correlation of Ghrelin level with the occurrence and the procession of chronic liver diseass.
