RESUMO
Objective To OxplorO thO OffOct of N-tOrminal pro-brain natriurOtic pOptidO( NT-proBNP) combinOd with nOutrophil to lymphocytO ratio ( NLR) on short -tOrm prognosis in patiOnts with acutO ST sOgmOnt OlOvation myocardial infarction ( STEMI ) undOrgoing primary pOrcutanOous coronary intOrvOntion ( PCI ). Methods From January 2015 to DOcOmbOr 2016, 243 patiOnts with acutO STEMI who undOrwOnt primary PCI in Harrision IntOrnational POacO Hospital wOrO OnrollOd in thO study. ThO lOvOls of NT-proBNP and NLR wOrO mOasurOd at admission. ThO occurrOncO of major advOrsO cardiac and cOrObrovascular OvOnts(MACCE) was followOd up during 1 yOar aftOr PCI. ROcOivOr opOrating charactOristic( ROC) curvOs wOrO usOd to sOt cut-off valuOs of NT-proBNP and NLR for prOdicting MACCE. All patiOnts wOrO dividOd into 4 groups basOd on thO optimal cut-off point: low NT-proBNP/low NLR group, low NT - proBNP/high NLR group, high NT - proBNP/low NLR group, high NT-proBNP/high NLR group. Various indicators wOrO comparOd among thO four groups. Survival curvOs of thO 4 groups at 12 months wOrO constructOd by Kaplan -MOiOr analysis and comparOd using thO log -rank tOst. ThO prOdictivO valuO of NT-proBNP and NLR alonO or in combination for MACCE aftOr PCI was OvaluatOd by thO Cox proportional hazard modOl. Results ThOrO wOrO statistically significant diffOrOncOs in TC,LDL-C, blood glucosO, glycosylatOd hOmoglobin, FMC to Ballon timO, NT-proBNP, NRL among thO high NT-proBNP/high NLR group and thO othOr thrOO groups(F =40.684,65.429,398.62,41.330,217.218,331.5,393.02,all P <0.05). ROC analysis indicatOd thO optimal cut-off point of NT-proBNP, NLR for prOdicting MACCE wOrO 1 600 ng/L(thO arOa undOr thO ROC curvO 0.779,sOnsitivity 81.4% ,spOcificity 83.5% ) and 6.5(thO arOa undOr thO ROC curvO 0.742, sOnsitivity 78.6% ,spOcificity 80.8% ),rOspOctivOly.ThO patiOnts in thO high NT-proBNP(>1 600ng/L) and high NLR(>6.5) group had significantly highOr risk of cardiovascular dOath(23.5% ),hOart failurO(47.1% ),rOcurrOnt MI(17.6% ),and cOrObral strokO(11.7% ),but no significantly incrOasO in thO risk of non-plan rOpOat rOvascular-ization, stOnt thrombosis.ThO survival ratO in high NT -proBNP and high NLR group(76.5% ) was significantly lowOr than thO othOr thrOO groups(98.1% ,97.9% ,95.0% ,χ2 =20.626,P<0.05).MultivariatO analysis of COX proportional hazards modOl showOd that TC, LDL - C, blood glucosO, glycosylatOd hOmoglobin, thO onsOt timO, NT-proBNP, NRL could bO usOd as thO prognostic factors for cardiac and cOrObrovascular OvOnts. ThO prOdictivO powOr of NT-proBNP combinOd with NLR was highOr than OithOr NT-proBNP or NLR alonO.Conclusion IncrOasOd lOvOls of NT -proBNP and NLR at admission could prOdict cardiovascular dOath, hOart failurO, rOcurrOnt MI and cOrObral strokO in patiOnts with STEMI aftOr primary PCI. ThO prognostic capability of intOrgratOd application of NT-proBNP and NLR is bOttOr than OithOr NT-proBNP or NLR alonO.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of OX40L gene silence in dentritic cells by RNAi through lentiviral vector, so that to explore the influence of CD4 + CD25 + T regulatory cells by blocking OX40/OX40L costimulation signals. Methods Serial plasmids were constructed, consisting of lentiviral vector framework, containing different OX40L siRNA sequences. The most effective packaged one by 293T cells to be the operating siRNA vector named OX4OL-RNAi-LV was chosen. The negative comparing vector was NC-GFP-LV. DCs isolated from C57BL/6 mice by magnetic selecting system were cultured in vitro and divided into 3 groups. Experimental group and negative control group were transfected with OX40L-RNAi-LV and NC-GFP-LV, respectively, and the blank control group was given the same volume culture solution. The MOI was 25. The status of transfection and GFP expression was monitored by GFP fluorescence. 6 days later, CD86 positive DCs were isolated and were co-cultured with CD4 + CD25 + T regulatory cells isolated from na(y)ve BALB/C. 6 days later, the proliferation and apoptosis of Tregs were evaluated by flow cytometry.Results The most effective siRNA sequence targeted the C,CTCATACAAGAATGAGTA episode of OX40L gene. The suppressive ratio of the OX40L protein expression was 73.1%. While the MOI was 25, the DCs transfected ratio by lentiviral vectors was at the level of 86. 4%. After co-cultured for 6 days, the CD4+CD25 +T regulatory cells of experimental group have a higher proliferation index (respectively, 38.3% vs.24.5 % ,22. 9%, F = 95.40, P = 0. 000) and lower apoptosis percentage ( respectively, 8.7 % vs. 20. 1%,19.8%, F=244.22,P=0. 000) than negative group and blank group. Conclusions The OX40L siRNA lentiviral vetor was constructed. This vector could effectively transfect DCs and block OX40/OX40L pathway, so to promote CD4 + CD25 + T regulatory cells proliferation in vitro.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the influence of the treatment and T-cell subsets in patients with recurrent genital herpes (RGH) by two treatment methods. Methods 64 cases of RGH patients were randomly divided int0 2 groups: 32 patients in the unite treatment group, the control group of 32 patients. Control group oral valaciclovir. The unite treatment group of oral valaciclovir tablets, in addition, also accepted mycobacterium phle injection treatment. All the patients before and after treatment were analyzed by flow cytometry using T-cell subsets. Results In the unite treatment group after treatment RGH relapse frequency [(1.01±0.79)] than that of the control group [(2.53±0.93)] was significantly decreased (P<0.001). In the unite treatment group after treatment CD+4 T cells and CDCD+4/CDCD+8 ratio than the control group were significantly increased (P<0.05), CD+8 cells compared with the control group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion The cellular immunity is abnormal in RGH patients and it plays an important role in pathogenesis of RGH. Mycobacterium phle may enhance cellular immunity of the patients and these patients treated with it showed some better effects.
