ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the role of peripheral blood intermediate monocytes in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.MethodsFifty-two patients with established preeclampsia in Binhai County People's Hospital from October 2014 to October 2015, 42 healthy pregnant women and 42 healthy non-pregnant women were enrolled in this study. The percentage of intermediate monocyte subsets, ratio of positive cells and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR4, CD64, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1(TREM-1), and MFI of intracellular tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 were evaluated by flow cytometry. The concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-12P70 and TNF-α in serum were analyzed using Luminex liquid phase chip technology. Independent two samplest-test, analysis of variance, Mann-WhitneyU test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.ResultsPercentage of intermediate monocytes was higher in preeclampsia patients [10.4%(5.3%-19.9%)]than in healthy pregnant women [6.6%(4.9%-7.8%)], and both were higher than in non-pregnant women [3.8%(2.4%-5.0)%](allP<0.05). The ratio of TLR4 and CD64 positive intermediate monocytes [(60.1±12.5)%vs (24.9±8.8)%; (85.3±5.4)% vs (67.4±7.5)%](t were 15.416 and 13.437, bothP<0.05), and MFI of TLR4 (50.3±10.2 vs 26.8±8.6), TREM-1(35.6±4.1 vs 28.6±4.7) and CD64 (39.8±5.2 vs 28.9±4.8) (t were 11.898, 7.707 and 10.454, allP<0.05) were higher in preeclampsia patients than in healthy pregnant women. MFI of intracellular IL-6 (32.3±4.7 vs 28.6±3.5) and TNF-α (44.6±6.3 vs 36.7±8.3) in intermediate monocytes of preeclampsia patients was also significantly higher than that of healthy pregnant women (t were 4.239 and 5.245, bothP<0.05). Serum concentrations of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were higher in preeclamptic patients than in healthy pregnant women and non-pregnant women (allP<0.05). Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between the percentage of intermediate monocytes and the serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in preeclamptic patients (r were 0.397 and 0.347, bothP<0.05).ConclusionsMonocyte subpopulations from preeclamptic patients are abnormally skewed toward intermediate monocytes which have high expressions of TLR4, TREM-1 and CD64, and secret more proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α. Therefore, intermediate monocytes are specifically altered in preeclamptic patients and may play a role in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To up-regulate the expression of Glil gene in periodontal ligament stem cells ( PDLSCs) and to explore the effect of Glil gene on PDLSCs proliferation and osteogenesis differentiation by establishing Glil gene adenovirus vectors. Methods Subcloned Glil to viral backbone vector Adtrack-CMV and transfered the established vector to 293T cells, which was to acquire the virus particles. Trans-fected aim cells,namely PDLSCs,with these virus. Detected its effect on PDLSCs proliferation with CCK-8 assay, and detected the expression of Glil and the bone-related markers ALP and Runx2 through Western blot. Results An adenovirus vector, which were over expressed Glil gene, was successfully constructed and transfected to PDLSCs. Compared with the empty vector group and normal group, the over expressed one had a much slower proliferation rate in CCK-8 assay (P=0. 003). Western blot showed that ALP and Runx2 can be overexpressing os-teogenic differentiated after PDLSCs successfully transfected with the Glil gene. Conclusion Over expressing Glil gene would lead to a much slower proliferation rate in the PDLSCs and an increase of the bone-related markers. It is concluded that Glil can enhance the osteogenic dif-ferentiation capacity in PDLSCs.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the mental health status and related personality type of psychological clinic adoleScent in general hospital and provide data for psychology treatment and intervention.Methods 219 adolescence consulters in 2006 were tested by symptom checklist(SCL-90) and eysenck personality questionnaire(EPQ).The caseswere separatedthree age groups,A group(16～20 years old),B group(21～25 years old),C group(26～30 years old)and disposed by SPSS 13.0.Results All factor scores of SCL-90 in psychological clinic adolescents were higher than those of youth norm in China(P＜0.01).The scores of female consulters were significant higher than those of male in depression(P＜0.05).The incident rate of mild mental obstacle(factor score＞2)in 3 age groups were significant different.The incidence rate of B and C groups were higher A group(P＜0.01).The factor scores were positive associated with P in EPQ and negative associated with L in EPQ.The obsession score of SCL-90 was negative associated with E in EPQ.Conclusions The mental health status of psychological clinic adolescents was not as good as norm adolescents.In psychological consulting and psychological health service,measures in different age and different personality could help build up healthy personality and effectively promote the development of mental health.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between the tiny enhanced foci in hematoma and hematoma expansion at the acute stage of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods CT routine and enhanced scan were applied in 36 ICH patients which onset ≤5 h,and CT examined again follow-up 1 or 2 d.The neurological function was evaluated by European Stroke Scale(ESS)at the 1st d and 21st d after onset.Results The tiny enhanced foci in hematoma were found in 11 csaes by the first CT scane.Follow up CT scane,the hematoma expansion was occurred in 10 cases,including 8 cases with tiny enhancing foci in hematoma.The incidence of hematoma expansion in ICH patients with tiny enhancing foci in hematoma(8 cases,72.7%) was significantly higher than in ICH patients without tiny enhancing foci in hematoma(2 cases,8.0%)(P
