RESUMEN
Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an important immunosuppressive molecule, which inhibits the function of T cells and other immune cells by binding to the receptor programmed cell death-1. The PD-L1 expression disorder plays an important role in the occurrence, development, and treatment of sepsis or other inflammatory diseases, and has become an important target for the treatment of these diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a kind of pluripotent stem cells with multiple differentiation potential. In recent years, MSCs have been found to have a strong immunosuppressive ability and are used to treat various inflammatory insults caused by hyperimmune diseases. Moreover, PD-L1 is deeply involved in the immunosuppressive events of MSCs and plays an important role in the treatment of various diseases. In this review, we will summarize the main regulatory mechanism of PD-L1 expression, and discuss various biological functions of PD-L1 in the immune regulation of MSCs.

[Abstract] Objective To assess the clinical value of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis. Methods Eighty patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 100 normal controls from Changhai Hospital, Naval Medical University (Second Militaray Medical University) were enrolled in our study. The fasting venous blood samples were collected in the morning for routine blood examination. The differences of NLR and PLR between the two groups were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of NLR and PLR, and combined diagnostic test was performed. Results The levels of NLR and PLR in ankylosing spondylitis patients were significantly higher than those in the control group (2.25 [1.66, 3.35] vs 1.50 [1.23, 2.09], P0.01; 147.94 [104.11, 188.80] vs 105.75 [89.55, 148.02], P0.01]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve (AUC) of NLR in diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis was 0.694 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.615-0.772, P0.01), and the sensitivity and specificity of NLR were 77.5% and 58.0%, respectively, when the cut-off value was 1.64. The AUC of PLR in diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis was 0.662 (95% CI: 0.580-0.756), and the sensitivity and specificity of PLR were 66.2% and 63.0%, respectively, when the cut-off value was 120.91. The sensitivity and specificity of NLR and PLR parallel testing (NLR/PLR) were 83.8% and 50.0%, and the sensitivity and specificity of the NLR and PLR tandem testing (NLR+PLR) were 61.2% and 75.0%, respectively. Conclusion NLR and PLR both have clinical value for the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis, and the combination of the two can improve the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effects of propofol combined with nalbuphine on diaphragmatic movement monitored by ultrasound in patients undergoing colonoscopy.Methods Forty patients, males 21 and females 19, aged 18-65 years, BMI 18-25 kg/m2, ASA physical status I or II, were recruited and scheduled to undergo elective painless colonoscopy.All patients were randomly divided into two groups (n =20):propofol group (group P) and propofol combined with nalbuphine group (group F).Patients in group F received nalbuphine 0.1 mg/kg intravenously 1 min before propofol administration, and patients in group P received same volume of normal saline.Propofol was infused by TCI and the initial target plasma concentration was set at 2μg/ml in all patients.The target concentration was adjusted gradually until the Ramsay sedation score reached 5.Then colonoscopy was started.During the colonoscopy, the propofol concentration was adjusted according to the Ramsay score.Ultrasound was used to monitor the movement of the right diaphragm of the patients.SpO2, MAP, HR, PETCO2, RR, diaphragmatic movement (DM), diaphragmatic thickness at the end of inspiration (TEI) and diaphragmatic thickness at the end of expiration (TEE) were recorded under calm breathing after entering the room (T0), Ramsay sedation score 5 points after propofol administration (T1), and Ramsay sedation score 2 after endoscopy (T2).The diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTF) was calculated:DTF= (TEI-TEE) /TEI.Adverse reactions such as bradycardia, hypotension, body movement, and respiratory depression were recorded.Results Compared with T0, MAP, SpO2, HR and RR decreased, and PETCO2 increased at T1 time point in patients of the two groups (P<0.05).Compared with group F, the dose of propofol increased in group P (P<0.05).DM at T1 and T2, DTF at T1 were obviously higher in group F than those in group P (P<0.05).There were two cases had body movement in group P, and one case had bradycardia in group F.There was no case suffered from hypotension, respiratory depression and reflux aspiration in two groups.Conclusion Compared with propofol alone, propofol combined with nalbuphine can attenuate the dysfunction of the diaphragm.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effect of electrical stimulation at auricular points (EAS) combined with sound masking on the expression of cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and tyrosine receptor kinase B (TrkB) in the auditory cortex of tinnitus rats.@*METHODS@#A total of 27 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and an EAS group. The rats in the model group and the EAS group were intervened with intraperitoneal injection of sodium salicylate to induce tinnitus model, while the rats in the control group were intervened with injection of 0.9% NaCl solution. After the model was successfully established, the rats in the EAS group were treated with electrical stimulation at "Shenmen" (TF) and "Yidan" (CO), combined with sound masking; the treatment was given once a day for 15 days. The gap prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle (GPIAS) and prepulse inhibition (PPI) testing were performed using the acoustic startle reflex starter package for rats. The expression of BDNF, TrkB, CREB and p-CREB in the auditory cortex of each group were measured with Western Blot analysis.@*RESULTS@#① Compared with the control group, the GPIAS values in 12 kHz, 16 kHz, 20 kHz and 28 kHz were significantly decreased in the model group (all 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#EAS could improve the GPIAS values of high-frequency background sound in tinnitus rats, which may be related with the upregulation of the BDNF/TrkB/CREB signaling pathway in the auditory cortex, leading to the reversion of the maladaptive plasticity.

RESUMEN
Objective To explore the predictive capability of different methods for difficult la-ryngoscopy and analyze its optimal cutoff value.Methods Three hundred consecutive patients (aged 18-65 years,weighing 42-88 kg,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ)scheduled to undergo general anesthe-sia and surgery were invited to participate.Difficult airway assessments were performed by thyromen-tal height (TMH),thyromental distance (TMD),sternomental distance (SMD),modified Mallam-pati test (MMT)and ratio of height and TMD (RHTMD)before anesthetic induction.Cormack-Le-hane (C-L)grade of laryngoscopy view was assessed after induction.Sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value (PPV),negative predictive value (NPV)and accuracy of these tests were calculated. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC)curve of TMH was performed to determine the optimal cutoff value of TMH.Results There were 22 patients diagnosed as difficult airway.Sensitivity,specificity, PPV,NPV and accuracy of TMH were higher than those of TMD,SMD and MMT tests.Sensitivity of RHTMD was lower than that of TMH test,and specificity,PPV,NPV and accuracy of RHTMD were similar to that of TMH.The optimal cutoff value of TMH was 4.9 cm through ROC curve. Conclusion The optimal cutoff value of TMH detecting difficult laryngoscopy was 4.9 cm.Similar to RHTMD,TMH appears to be more effective for prediction of difficult laryngoscopy than TMD, SMD and MMT.

RESUMEN
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Previous studies revealed that culprit vessels of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were often related to mild or moderate stenosis. However, recent studies suggested that severe stenosis was primarily found in culprit lesions. The objective of this study was to analyze the stenosis severity of culprit lesions in STEMI patients and to clarify the paradoxical results.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 489 consecutive STEMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention were retrospectively studied from January 2012 to December 2014. The patients were divided into three groups based on stenosis severity using quantitative coronary analysis: Group A, 314 cases, stenosis ≥70%; Group B, 127 cases, stenosis 50-70%; and Group C, 48 cases, stenosis ≤50%. The clinical, demographic, and angiographic data of all groups were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Patients in Group A exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of history of angina pectoris (95.9% vs. 62.5%, P< 0.001), multivessel disease (73.2% vs. 54.2%, P = 0.007), and lower cardiac ejection fraction (53.3 ± 8.6 vs. 56.8 ± 8.4, P= 0.009) than those in Group C. Multivariable analysis revealed that history of angina pectoris (odds ratio [OR]: 13.89, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.21-31.11) and multivessel disease (OR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.25-4.31) were correlated with severe stenosis of the culprit lesion in Group A.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Most culprit lesions in STEMI patients were severe stenosis. These patients exhibited a higher prevalence of angina history and multivessel diseases.</p>

Objective: To clarify the structure features of polysaccharides from Chrysanthemum morifolium (PCM) and to study their activities against tumor cells and NF-κB. Methods: Six homogeneous neutral polysaccharides were obtained from three kinds of C. morifolium (Hangju, Huaiju, and Boju) flowers by successive hot water extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, and gel permeation chromatography. Their primary structures were characterized by HPGPC, IR, GC, and GC-MS analyses. Their bioactivities were examined by MTT assay using PANC-1 and LO2 cells. In addition, NF-κB signaling activation in PANC-1 and LO2 cells treated by polysaccharides were also measured. Results: The weight-average molecular mass of the six PCM, CMTA0S1, CMTA0S3, CMJA0S1, CMJA0S2, CMBA0S1, and CMBA0S3 was 7.523 × 104, 7.80 × 103, 7.80 × 104, 1.04 × 104, 5.79 × 104, and 1.35 × 104, respectively. CMTA0S1, CMJA0S1, and CMBA0S1 mainly contained galactose (Gal), arabinose (Ara) and glucose (Glc) residues in molar ratio of 1.23:1.00:0.20, 2.18:1.00:0.53, and 3.30:1.00:0.75, while CMTA0S3, CMJA0S2, and CMBA0S3 mainly contained Gal, Ara, Glc, and mannose (Man) residues in molar ratio of 0.73:1.00:0.40:0.21, 1.39:1.00:0.84: 0.55, and 1.19:1.00:0.48:0.19. Methylation analysis indicated that six PCM primarily consisted of T-arabinofuranosyl, 1, 5-arabinofuranosyl, 1, 4-galactopyranosyl, 1, 3, 6-galactopyranosyl, and 1, 4-glucopyranosyl residues. The biological activity study suggested that all the PCM could inhibit the growth of PANC-1 cells. Among them the inhibitory rates of CMTA0S3 and CMJA0S2 were at most to 70% with concentration-effect relationship. The NF-κB inhibition test indicated that only the crude polysaccharide CMBA had strong immunosuppressive activity, and homogeneous polysaccharides CMTA0S1 and CMJA0S1 showed potential immunostimulation. Conclusion: The six homogeneous polysaccharides share similar structures and inhibition on PANC-1 cells growth. Meanwhile they also may regulate the NF-κB activation.
RESUMEN
The saturated free fatty acid (FFA), palmitate, could induce apoptosis in various cell types, but little is known about its effects on human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs). Here, we investigated whether palmitate induced apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in hUC-MSCs. hUC-MSCs were stained by labeled antibodies and identified by flow cytometry. After administration with palmitate, apoptotic cell was assessed by flow cytometry using the Annexin V-FITC/7-AAD apoptosis detection kit. Relative spliced XBP1 levels were analyzed using semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The mRNA of BiP, GRP94, ATF4 and CHOP were analyzed by real-time PCR. Relative BiP and CHOP protein were analyzed using Western blot analysis. The results showed that hUC-MSCs were homogeneously positive for MSC markers; palmitate increased apoptosis of hUC-MSCs and activated XBP1 splicing, BiP, GRP94, ATF4 and CHOP transcription. These findings suggest that palmitate induces apoptosis and ER stress in hUC-MSCs.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the protective effects of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on the lung injury following with limbs ischemia /reperfusion (LI/R).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The models of LI/R injury were constructed in rabbits. The blood from right external jugular vein and left common carotid artery, into and out-flowing pulmonary blood (IPB, OPB) respectively. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) in IPB and OPB and lung tissues were measured, as well as total nitric oxide synthase (tNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in lung tissues were detected in different groups. The effects of IPC on the lung injury were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with sham and before ischemic, the activity of SOD decreased and the content of MDA and NO increased after 4 h ischemia followed by 4 h reperfusion in IPB, OPB and lung tissues. The activity of tNOS and iNOS in lung tissues increased remarkably as well, there was statistical significance (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). SOD increased and MDA, NO, tNOS, iNOS decreased significantly by IPC before ischemia/reperfusion. The correlation analysis indicated that MDA was negatively correlated with SOD and was positively correlated with MDA, NO, iNOS (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Oxygen free radicals metabolic confusion of lung occurred in the course of LI/R, IPC could strengthen the resistance of peroxidation in lung and had protective effects on the lung injury following with LI/R.</p>
