To detect the expression of galectin-13 in allergic diseases and provide a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases. A retrospective analysis method was used to screen 216 patients with allergic diseases with house dust mites or aspergillus as allergens who visited the Department of Allergy and Department of Respiratory of Tongji Hospital attached Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March 2018 to May 2021. These allergic diseases included allergic asthma, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, allergic urticaria. 25 subjects without underlying diseases were selected as healthy controls. The galectin-13 content in serum in each group were detected, and the Pearson correlation was used to determine the correlation between the galectin-13 content in serum in each group and blood eosinophil count, blood specific IgE, the score scale of allergic disease. The expression of Galectin-13 was increased in allergic asthma group (71.44±39.44) pg/ml, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis group (100.10±47.62) pg/ml, allergic rhinitis group (54.11±24.81) pg/ml and dermatitis group (44.12±19.51) pg/ml. The expression of galectin-13 was not significantly increased in allergic urticaria group (32.75±10.29) pg/ml and the allergic conjunctivitis group (30.55±9.87) pg/ml. The galectin-13 content in serum, was positively correlated with blood eosinophil count( r s=0.54, P<0.001) and house dust mite specific IgE ( r s=0.51, P<0.001) in allergic asthma group, and was positively correlated with blood eosinophil count( r s=0.63, P=0.025) and aspergillus fumigatus specific IgE ( r s=0.58, P=0.046) in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis group. It was positively correlated with blood eosinophil count ( r s=0.52, P=0.000 2) and house dust mite specific IgE ( r s=0.41, P=0.005) in allergic rhinitis group. In allergic conjunctivitis group, the expression of galectin-13 was positively correlated with conjunctivitis symptom score ( r s=0.47, P=0.048). In atopic dermatitis group, the expression of galectin-13 was positively correlated with blood eosinophil count ( r s=0.58, P<0.001) and house dust mite specificity IgE ( r s=0.47, P=0.002). In allergic urticaria group, the expression of galectin-13 was not significantly correlated with blood eosinophil count or house dust mite specific IgE. Galectin-13 may be related to the occurrence and progress of allergic diseases and may be involved in the occurrence of eosinophilic inflammation.

To search for potent drugs against non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC),a series of hybrids(9a-9e, 10a-10e and 11a-11e﹚ from anilinopyrimidines and diazeniumdiolates were designed and synthesized.The MTT assay was employed to evaluate their antiproliferative activity against H1975 cells harboring epithelial growth factor receptor(EGFR)L858R/T790M mutation.The results showed that compounds 9a-9e displayed remarkable inhibitory activity on H1975 cells.Among these compounds, the most potent was compound 9b(IC50=0.65 μmol/L),which was superior to the positive control gefitinib.Additionally,molecular docking study indicated that 9b could bind with EGFR T790M by forming hydrogen bond, electrostatic interactions, et al, suggesting that compound 9b may be a potential anti-NSCLC agent for further investigation.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxic conditions on expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp),and the relationship between HIF-1α and P-gp.Methods Tumor tissues from 54 cases of patients with colonic neoplasm in Xingtai People's Hospital were selected after operation from June 2013 to June 2015.The expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor tissues were detected by using immunohistochemistry,and their correlations to clinical and pathologic features were analysed.The expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor cell lines under normoxia and hypoxia conditions were detected by using cell smear method,and correlation between HIF-1α expression and P-gp expression was analysed.Results Among tumor tissues from 58 cases of patients with colonic neoplasm,the positive rate of HIF-1α expression was 58.62％,and that of P-gp expression was 46.55％.The positive rates of HIF-1α and P-gp expressions of patients on the Dukes stage C+D were significantly higher than those of patients on A+B phase (P＜0.05).Additionally,the positive rates of HIF-1α and P-gp expressions of patients with lymphatic metastasis were significantly higher than those of patients without lymphatic metastasis (P＜0.05).The HIF-1α expression was positively correlated with the P-gp expression (r=0.574,P＜0.01).For the same cell lines,the expression levels of HIF-1α and P-gp under hypoxia condition were significantly higher than those under normoxia condition,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.01).While,under the same oxygen conditions,no statistically significant difference was found in expression levels of HIF-1 and P-gp among different colonic tumor cell lines (P＞0.05).Conclusion Overexpression and coexpression of HIF-1α and P-gp exist in colon cancer.The expression levels of HIF-1α and P-gp in patients with different Dukes stages and patients with or without lymph node metastasis are significantly different,and positive correlation is observed between the expression of HIF-1α and P-gp.Hypoxia condition can induce an increase in expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor cells.

PURPOSE: The incidence of allergen specific immunotherapy-related systemic reactions (SRs) varies among different studies, and many factors are likely to contribute to SRs. This study aims to investigate the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors of SRs to standardize dust mite-specific subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in Central China. METHODS: All patients receiving standardized dust mites (100-100,000 SQ-U/mL; Alutard SQ, Hørsholn, Denmark) immunotherapy were followed up. Recorded data included demographics, diagnosis, patient status, pulmonary function testing results before and after each injection, allergen dosage, and details of SRs. RESULTS: From June 2011 to August 2014, a total of 208 patients received 4,369 injections; 27 (13.0%) patients experienced 48 (1.1%) systemic reactions. Most of the SRs were grade 2 reactions (n=30, 62.5%), followed by grade 1 (n=11, 22.9%), grade 3 (n=7, 14.6%), and no fatal reactions occurred. Forty-six SRs (95.8%) occurred within 30 minutes. Higher SR rates were associated with high concentration extracts (100,000 SQ-U/mL), injections with concomitant local reactions (LRs), children, asthma and high sensitivity (skin prick test 3+/4+ and/or sIgE≥17.5 kUA/L) (P<0.05). The estimated odds of SRs increased in children (OR=6.57; 95% CI: 1.88-22.97, P=0.003), asthmatic patients (OR=4.10; 95% CI: 1.72-9.80, P=0.002), and injections with LRs (OR=2.41; 95% CI: 1.33-4.36, P=0.004). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of SRs to dust mite SCIT was low, and multiple factors were associated with the increased incidence of SRs. Children, asthmatics and patients with concomitant LR may be prone to develop SRs.
