Objective: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of polysaccharide from atractylodes atractylodes(PAMK) on rheumatoid arthritis(RA) rats and its effect on Toll like receptor 4/nuclear factor kappa-B(TLR4/NF-κB) signaling pathway. Methods: RA rat model was induced by type Ⅱ collagen, after successful modeling, the rats were divided into model group, positive drug group(Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablet), PAMK low-dose and high-dose groups, normal control group was also set, with 12 rats in each group. Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside tablets or Atractylodes macrocephala polysaccharide were administered intragastric administration, once a day for 4 weeks. The body weight, paw swelling rate and arthritis index of rats were measured; the thymus index and spleen index were calculated; HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of synovial membrane of ankle joint; The levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in serum and synovial tissue of ankle were determined by ELISA; The expression levels of total protein TLR4, MyD88, phosphorylated NF-κB p65(Ser536) and nuclear protein NF-κB p65 in synovial tissue of ankle were detected by Western blot. Results: Compared with the normal control group, synovial hyperplasia and unclear layers were observed in the model group, body weight decreased(P<0.05), paw swelling rate, arthritis index, thymus index and spleen index increased(P<0.05), the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and synovial tissue of ankle, and the protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, p-NF-κB p65 and NF-κB p65 in synovial tissue of ankle increased(P<0.05). Compared with model group, the histomathological changes of synovial of ankle joint in positive drug group and PAMK high-dose group were significantly improved, body weight increased(P<0.05), paw swelling rate, arthritis index, thymus index and spleen index decreased(P<0.05), the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and synovial tissue of ankle, and the protein expressions of TLR4, MyD88, p-NF-κB p65 and NF-κB p65 in synovial tissue of ankle decreased(P<0.05), however, there were no significant differences in the above indexes between PAMK low-dose group and model group(P>0.05). Conclusion PAMK can reduce the inflammatory response and improve RA, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway activation.

Objective:To discuss the feasibility and clinical efficacy of laparoscopic ureteroplasty with buccal mucosa graft for ureteral stricture.Methods:The clinical data of 10 patients with ureteral stricture admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from July 2018 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 7 males, 3 females, 5 cases on each side, with an average age of (47.9±7.8)years. All patients had a history of operation related to ureteral calculi. The median value of preoperative serum creatinine was 71(68~610)μmol/L. The status of hydronephrosis and ureteral stricture was evaluated by ultrasonography, CTU and ureteral retrograde angiography.The separation of the renal pelvis on the affected side was (3.1±0.7)cm.There were 7 cases of upper segment stenosis, 2 cases of middle segment stenosis, and 1 case of multiple stenosis. The length of ureteral stenosis was (3.2±0.7)cm. Laparoscopic buccal mucosa ureteroplasty was performed in all 10 cases under general anesthesia. After the stricture ureter segment was separated during the operation, the ureteral stenosis segment was longitudinally cut. According to the stenosis, the buccal mucosa with a length of 3.0-4.5 cm and a width of 1.0-1.5 cm was cut. Buccal mucosa grafts were harvested and placed in the ureter as an anterior onlay with omental wrapping.Results:Ureteral repair was performed laparoscopically in all cases, with no conversion to open and no serious complications. The operative time was (199.2±27.4)min, the blood loss was (101.5±54.7)ml, the median postoperative indwelling time of the drainage tube was 4.5(3.0-7.0)d, and the postoperative hospital stay was (7.9±1.9)days. The patients had clear pronunciation and barrier-free eating one week after the operation.The double J tube was removed one to two months after surgery. The patients were followed up for (11.3±4.2)months after the operation. Follow-up patients underwent imaging and other examinations, which showed significant improvement in hydronephrosis on the affected side, and the median value of renal pelvis separation on the affected side was 1.8(0-2.2)cm. The median value of serum creatinine was 82(66~235)μmol/L. The serum creatinine in 2 patients with renal insufficiency decreased significantly after operation.Conclusions:Laparoscopic buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty could be a safe and feasible option for the treatment of ureteral stricture with less trauma and rapid recovery. The results of the initial experience are encouraging.

Objective To obtain methamphetamine concentration profiles in saliva and urine samples of drug addicts and to screen the colloidal gold strip. Methods Methamphetamine concentration in saliva and urine samples of drug addicts was determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The initial screening was obtained by colloidal gold strip test. The results were compared and analyzed. Results using the method of protein and fluid MRM scan method to detect direct precipitation, saliva is linear in the range of 1~100ng/mL, the linear correlation coefficient is 0.9987, the detection limit is 0.1ng/mL, the limit of quantification was 1ng/mL, the urine is linear in the range of 1~100ng/mL, the linear correlation coefficient is 0.9943, the detection limit is 0.5ng/mL, the limit of quantification was 1ng/mL. Saliva and urine samples diluted, the concentration in the linear range. Saliva and urine samples of four types of methamphetamine colloidal gold reagent strip were screened directly, and the results were judged visually. Conclusion the detection rate of colloidal gold strip is about 79%, the detection rate of saliva is about 81%, and the detection rate can be increased to more than 93% by using two reagent strips. Combined with the initial screening results and the instrument confirmation concentration, it can be found that the gray zone setting and sensitivity setting have certain influence on the detection rate, and it is suggested to improve the sensitivity to meet the needs of screening.

Objectives To explore the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of Crohn’s disease complicated by erythromelalgia (EM) in a pediatric case. Methods The clinical manifestation, results of laboratory testing and endoscopy, mutational analysis of the SCN9A gene, and the follow-up record were collected and analyzed based on review of literature to a thirteen-year-old girl with Crohn’s disease complicated by erythromelalgia. Results The patient experienced symptoms of anorexia, fatigue, diarrhea, dark red and swelling skin, increased skin temperature and burning pain in her both lower extremities during the course of disease. The endoscopic ifndings included multiple ulcerations and polypoid protrusion lesion in colon, and the pathological examination showed the local abscess formation in colonic mucosa. The mutation in SCN9A gene of the child was excluded by gene analysis. The symptoms were gradually ameliorated after treatment using prednisone and mesalazine combined with dipyridamole and low-molecular-weight heparin calcium. Conclusions Crohn’s disease complicated by erythromelalgia is rare. The pathogenesis may relate to immune factors, thrombocytosis, and hyper-coagulable states, etc. The combination of glucocorticoids, 5-aminosalicylic acid and anticoagulants may lead to a better therapeutic effect.
