The proportion of Th17 cells in patients with systemic sclerosis: a Meta-analysis / 中华风湿病学杂志

Objective:To clarify peripheral Th17 level in SSc patients and its correlation with disease.Methods:Chinese databases CNKI, CBM, Wanfang and VIP, and English databases PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Science Direct were searched to collect a case-control study on the content of Th17 cells in peripheral blood of patients with SSc. The papers published when the database was first developed in 25 February 2021. Meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 12.0 software, and I2 and Egger tests were used to evaluate the heterogeneity and publication bias between studies. Results:A total of 26 case-controls were included in the study, including 1 160 patients with SSc and 778 healthy controls. Overall, the percentage of Th17 cells in SSc patients was higher than in healthy controls [SMD(95% CI)=1.85 (1.33, 2.38), P<0.001], which was most significant in IL-17 +Th17 concentration [SMD(95% CI)=1.88 (1.28, 2.48), P<0.001]. As for disease activity, the proportion of Th17 cells in active SSc patients was much higher than those of patients in remission [SMD(95% CI)=1.92 (1.12, 2.71), P<0.001]. SSc patients had a reduced Th17 level after receiving DMARDs treatment [SMD(95% CI)=-0.74 (-1.05, -0.42), P=0.029]. Conclusion:The number of Th17 cells increase significantly in the peripheral blood of patients with SSc, and is related to disease activity. DMARDs can be used to treat this disease by downregulating Th17 levels.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint and multi-component content determination method of Crataegus pinnatifida leaves from different producing areas， and to evaluate the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves and screen the differential markers. METHODS Seventy-eight batches of C. pinnatifida leaves were collected from Chengde of Hebei Province， Huludao of Liaoning Province， Yuncheng of Shanxi Province and Linyi of Shandong Province. High-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） and Similarity Evaluation System for Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprints （2012 edition） were used to draw the fingerprints and conduct similarity evaluation. Grey correlation analysis， cluster analysis （CA）， principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were performed by using SPSS 19.0， MetaboAnalyst 5.0 and SIMCA 14.1 software. The differential markers affecting the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves were screened with variable importance in the projection （VIP） value greater than 1 and the error line not exceeding the origin as the criterion. Using vitexin rhamnoside as an internal reference， the contents of chlorogenic acid， glucosylvitexin， hypericin and isoquercetin in 78 batches of C. pinnatifida leaves were determined by the same HPLC combined with quantitative analysis of multi- components by single-marker （QAMS）， and the results were compared with external standard method. RESULTS Eight common peaks were calibrated in the fingerprints for 78 batches of C. pinnatifida leaves from 4 producing areas. Five known components were identified， including chlorogenic acid （peak 1）， glucosylvitexin （peak 3）， vitexin rhamnoside （peak 4）， hypericin （peak 7） and isoquercetin （peak 8）； their similarities ranged from 0.871 to 0.998. Average relative correlations of samples from Chengde of Hebei Province， Huludao of Liaoning Province， Yuncheng of Shanxi Province and Linyi of Shandong Province were 0.538， 0.528， 0.462 and 0.435， respectively. CA and PCA showed that the samples from Chengde of Hebei Province and Huludao of Liaoning Province were roughly classified into one category， while the samples from Linyi of Shandong Province and Yuncheng of Shanxi Province were roughly classified into one category； VIP values of peak 1， 2， 3 and 5 were all greater than 1. By QAMS， the relative correction factors of chlorogenic acid， glucosylvitexin， hypericin and isoquercetin were 0.401， 0.993， 1.670 and 1.615 （RSD＜2%）. Compared with external standard method， except for isoquercetin in the two batches of samples （S39 and S41）， there was no significant difference in the content of each component in other batches of samples （the relative deviations≤ 5%）. CONCLUSIONS The established fingerprint and QAMS method are simple to operate and can be used to evaluate the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves. The sample from Chengde of Hebei Province is relatively good in quality. Chlorogenic acid （peak 1）， glucosylvitexin （peak 3）， and the corresponding components of peaks 2 and 5 may be differential markers affecting the quality of C. pinnatifida leaves.

Experimental study on the inhibitory effect of soap solution on rabies viruses / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

Objective@#To investigate the inactivating effect of soap solution on rabies virus and to explore the concentration of soap solutions which could be effective in post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) of rabies virus infection.@*Methods@#The BSR and N2a cells were respectively infected by the mixture of different concentrations of soap solution and rabies virus CVS-11. Based on the direct immunofluorescent method (DFA) and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), the inactivating effects of soap solutions on rabies viruse in BSR and N2a cells were detected, respectively.@*Results@#This experiment established the BSR or N2a cells model in 24 well cell culture plates, and we found that the upper limit of soap solution concentration which BSR or N2a cells could tolerate was 1%. The inhibitory effect test of different soap solution on rabies virus showed that the 0.5% concentration of soap solution could completely inhibit the survival of CVS-11 strain in both the BSR and N2a cells, but the 0.1% concentration of soap solution could not inhibit the rabies viruses completely.@*Conclusions@#The 0.5%-1% concentration of soap solutions could inhibit the survival of CVS-11 strain in three minutes in vivo experiment.

Diagnosis and treatment of an imported case of schistosomiasis haematobi-um / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To report the diagnosis and treatment of an imported case of schistosomiasis haematobium,including the pathological features of the disease and therapeutic efficacy of praziquantel. Methods The data of the patient with schistoso?miasis haematobium were collected,and the pathological features of the bladder tissue were observed under a microscope. More?over,the patient was treated with praziquantel,and his urine was collected before and after the treatment. The eggs in the urine were examined by a microscope after sediment and the miracidia were hatched. Results The patient once worked in Angola for three months,and after returning home he had the symptoms of intermittent painless terminal hematuresis. It was ineffective af?ter anti?inflammatory treatment in a number of hospitals. There were no sand spots discovered under the cystoscope. However , the inflammatory reaction to parasite with a lot of eosinophils infiltration in the bladder mucosa was found on the pathological sec?tions under a microscope,and the egg structure was observed with individual characteristics. The eggs were detected in the urine and the miracidia were hatched before the praziquantel treatment. The hematuria symptoms disappeared after the praziquantel treatment. The eggs were still detected in the urine 7 days post?treatment,but the miracidium could not be hatched. One month and 6 months post?treatment,the eggs were not detected in the urine. Conclusions The imported cases of schistosomiasis hae?matobium are often misdiagnosed,and therefore,it is necessary to strength the health education to the workers overseas and also to improve the ability of diagnosis in medical staff. For the case reported in this paper,there are typical structure of Schistosoma haematobium eggs and egg?granulomas on the pathological sections of bladder tissues. Praziquantel has satisfactory treatment re?sults.

High-strength glass ionomer with atraumatic restorative treatment for prevention of deciduous caries / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: It has been reported that glass ionomer sealants have a poor wear resistance and low rupture strength that are easy to fall off on the occlusal surfaces. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of high-strength glass ionomer via the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) on the pit and fissure of deciduous teeth in the young children. METHODS: A self-controlled method was used to compare ART glass ionomer-based pit and fissure seal on unilateral molars with resin sealant on the contralateral side in 89 children aged 3 years. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The retention rates of ART glass ionomer sealant after 6 and 18 months were 94.15% and 77.72%, respectively. At 6 months after treatment, ART gliass ionomer sealant was more caducous in mandibular second deciduous molars > mandibular first deciduous molars > maxillary second deciduous molars > maxillary first deciduous molars; at 18 months after treatment, the rank was mandibular second deciduous molars > maxillary second deciduous molars > mandibular first deciduous molars > maxillary first deciduous molars. The second deciduous molar of the lower mandible, but the caducous position of resin sealant was the second deciduous molar of the upper mandible. The caries prevalence rate of the deciduous teeth treated with ART glass ionomer sealant was significantly lower than that without sealant at 6 and 18 months (P < 0.01). These findings indicate that ART glass ionomer pit and fissure sealant is of a lower drop-out rate, easy to operate and of low cost with excellent caries-preventing effect.

Application of glass ionomer and light-cured resin sealant to the pit and fissure of deciduous teeth / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Traditional glass ion sealant has a poor abradability and a low rupture strength. The sealant on the occlusal surfaces easily fell off, and is difficult to replace resin sealant. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of traditional resin sealant and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) glass ionomer-based pit and fissure sealant for the young children. METHODS: Randomized comparison method was used to compare ART glass ionomer-based pit on molars of one side with resin sealant on the opposite side in 89 3-year-old children. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The retention rates of ART glass ionomer sealant after 6 and 18 months were significantly lower than those of resin sealant (P < 0.05). The caducous position of ART gliass ionomer sealant was the second deciduous molar of the lower mandible, but the caducous position of resin sealant was the second deciduous molar of the upper mandible. The secondary caries rate of ART glass ionomer sealant was significantly lower than that of resin sealant at 6 months. No significant difference was determined between groups at 18 months. These suggest that ART glass ionomer pit and fissure sealant has lower drop-out rate, simple operation and low cost with excellent caries-preventing effect. Since it is economically superior to resin sealant, the method is worth popularizing in caries-preventing projects.

Schistosomiasis endemic situation in Fujian Province from 2003 to 2008 / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

In order to understand the situation of schistosomiasis in Fujian Province, the surveillance and field survey data of 16 counties (cities or districts) were statistically analyzed from 2003 to 2008 according to the national and provincial surveillance protocols. The snail areas were 69 400 m~2 in 2003, and 506 700 m~2 in 2004, then decreased to 57 700 m~2 in 2008 after the snail control in 2005 and 2006. Serological examinations were conducted in 18 000 people, among which 5 412 people were the mobile population from schistosome-endemic areas, and 110 persons were positive, among which 8 persons had eggs and miracidia in their stools, among 7 885 appendix samples, Schistosoma japonicum eggs were found in 8 samples of the patients who came from the o-riginal endemic areas. By the stool examination, 2 709 head of farm cattle in the region with snails were not found infected with Schistosoma japonicum. It is suggested that the areas of residual snails are large and widespread, and the imported patients are found frequently, so the danger of schistosomisis transmission still remains.
