Objective To investigate the correlation of P-selectin ( SELP) gene S290N polymorphisms and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) gene M62I polymorphisms with ischemic cerebral infarction. Methods One hundred and forty-eight ischemic cerebral infarction patients were in cerebral infarction group, and these patients were divided into large artery atherosclerosis cerebral infarction ( LAA) subgroup, cardioembolism ( CE) subgroup and small artery occlusion cerebral infarction ( SAO ) subgroup. Eighty-eight healthy controls were in normal control group. Polymorphisms of SELP gene S290N and PSGL-1 gene M62I of all subjects were detected by gene sequencing. Results Compared with normal control group, there was no significant difference of frequency of S290N genotype and allele in cerebral infarction group and its subgroup (all P>0. 05). Compared with normal control group, there was significant differences of frequency of M62I genotype and allele in cerebral infarction group (all P<0. 01). Compared with normal control group, there was no significant difference of M62I genotype in LAA subtypes group (χ2=5. 889, P=0. 053). Compared with normal control group, there was significant difference of M62I allele frequency in LAA subgroup (χ2 =6. 156, P=0. 021). Compared with normal control group, there was no significant difference of M62I genotype and allele frequency in CE subgroup (χ2 =1. 693, P=0. 429;χ2 =1. 372, P=0. 238). Compared with normal control group, there were significant differences of M62I genotype and allele frequency in SAO subgroup (χ2 =12. 572, P=0. 002; χ2 =8. 736, P=0. 004). S290N gene had no correlation with the risk of ischemic cerebral infarction (all P>0. 05). However, dominant and over-dominant models of M62I were associated with the risk of ischemic cerebral infarction ( OR =2. 662, 95%CI: 1. 531 -4. 630, P=0. 000; OR =0. 392, 95%CI:0. 219-0. 701, P=0. 001), while recessive and additive models of M62I were not (OR=1. 428, 95%CI:0. 528-3. 862, P= 0. 630; OR = 2. 121, 95% CI: 0. 766 - 5. 872, P= 0. 156). Conclusion PSGL-1 gene M62I polymorphism is correlated with ischemic cerebral infarction.

Targeting mitochondrial respiration has emerged as an attractive therapeutic strategy in blood cancer due to their unique metabolic dependencies. In this study, we show that pyrvinium, a FDA-approved anthelmintic drug, selectively targets lymphoma T-cells though inhibition of mitochondrial functions and JAK2/STAT5. Pyrvinium induces apoptosis of malignant T-cell line Jurkat and primary T-cells from lymphoma patients while sparing T-cells from healthy donors. Increased level of active caspase-3 and decreased levels of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 were also observed in Jurkat and lymphoma T-cells but not normal T-cells treated with pyrvinium. In addition, pyrvinium impairs mitochondrial functions by inhibit mitochondrial respiration, suppressing mitochondrial respiratory complex I activity, increasing ROS and decreasing ATP levels. However, the effects of pyrvinium were abolished in mitochondrial respiration-deficient Jurkat ρ(0) cells, confirming that pyrvinium acts on lymphoma T-cells via targeting mitochondrial respiration. We further show that lymphoma T-cells derived from patients depend more on mitochondrial respiration than normal T-cells, and this explains the selective toxicity of pyrvinium in lymphoma versus normal T-cells. Finally, we demonstrate that pyrvinium also suppresses JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathway in Jurkat cells. Our study suggests that pyrvinium is a useful addition to T-cell lymphoma treatment, and emphasizes the potential therapeutic value of the differences in the mitochondrial characteristics between malignant and normal T-cells in blood cancer.
BACKGROUND:Platelet-leukocyte aggregations (PLA) play key roles in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) process and they are formed by the combination of P-selectin (SELP) expressed on the surface of the platelet membranes with P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1(PSGL-1) expressed on the surface of the leukocytes. There are genetic polymorphisms in SELP and PSGL-1. We tested the differences in all kinds of PLA among subtypes of AIS and the association of SELP S290N and PSGL-1 M62I polymorphism with AIS to assess the correlations of PLA with SELP S290N and PSGL-1 M62I genetic polymorphisms. METHODS:One hundred and forty-eight patients with acute ischemic stroke, including thirty patients with large artery atherosclerosis stroke (LAA), twenty-four patients with cardioembolism (CE) and ninety-four patients with small artery occlusion stroke (SAO), and eighty-eight control subjects were evaluated. The lab parameters and levels of PLA were measured within 3h after the ischemic event in the case subjects and within empty stomach in the control subjects. In all subjects, SELP S290N and PSGL-1 M62I polymorphisms were also measured. RESULTS:Platelet-monocyte aggregates (PMA), platelet-lymphocyte aggregates (PLyA) and platelet-neutrophil aggregates (PNA) in LAA group, CE group and SAO group were all higher than that in control group (P=0.000 for all comparisons). Compared with LAA group, PMA and PLyA in CE group were significantly higher (P=0.018 and P=0.003, respectively). Compared with SAO group, PMA and PLyA in CE group were also significantly higher (P=0.041 and P=0.019, respectively). Compared with control group, there were significantly differences of I allele frequencies of PSGL-1 M62I in LAA group and SAO group (OR=2.249, 95%CI: 1.175-4.304, P=0.021 and OR=2.055, 95%CI: 1.269-3.328, P=0.004, respectively). In SAO group, there were significantly differences of PNA among MM, MI and II genotype of PSGL-1 M62I (P=0.008). CONCLUSIONS:PLA increased in AIS patients rapidly within 3h. The I allele of PSGL-1 M62I was associated with risk of developing AIS, especially LAA and SAO. SAO patients with the II genotype of PSGL-1 M62I have the higher level of PNA.
Objective To investigate the association of polymorphism of P-selectin( SELP) gene S290 N and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1( PSGL-1) gene M62I with platelet leukocyte aggregation in ischemic cerebral infarction.Methods A total of 58 ischemic cerebral infarction patients including 19 large artery atherosclerosis cerebral infarction( LAA) patients and 39 small artery occlusion cerebral infarction( SAO) patients and 20 healthy controls were enrolled into the study. The levels of platelet leukocyte aggregation( PLA),platelet monocyte aggregations( PMA),platelet lymphocyte aggregations( PLy A) and platelet neutrophilic aggregations( PNA) were detected by flow cytometric analysis and the polymorphisms of SELP gene S290 N and PSGL-1 gene M62I were detected by gene sequencing. Results The percentages of PMA were significant differences between the cases group and the controls group,the LAA group and the controls group,the SAO group and the controls group( P = 0. 000,P = 0. 018,P = 0. 000,respectively). The percentages of PNA were significant differences between the cases group and the controls group,the LAA group and the controls group( P = 0. 045,P =0. 002,respectively). The percentages of PNA were significant differences between SS and SN genotypes of SELP gene S290 N in the LAA group( P = 0. 008) and the percentages of PLA were significant differences among MM,MI and II genotypes of PSGL-1 gene M62I in the LAA group( P = 0. 046). Conclusion PMA and PNA are correlated with ischemic cerebral infarction. The genotypes of SN in SELP S290 N and MM in PSGL-1 M62I can increase the risk of large artery atherosclerosis cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the influence of different processing techniques on monocyte-platelet aggregation(MPA) by flow cytometry in order to provide the reference for the determination of MPA.Methods Sodium citrate anticoagulation whole blood samples were collected randomly.CD14-phycoerythrin( PE) and CD61-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) were used to label monocytes and platelets.CD62P-PE was used to label activated platelets.The percentages of CD14-PE/CD61-FITC-double-positive MPA in monocytes and CD62P-positive platelets were determined by flow cytometry.Different processing techniques were performed as follows.Whole blood samples were prepared immediately after collection or delayed for different times.After preparation, samples were analyzed immediately or delayed for different times.Antibody immunolabeling was performed before fixation of whole blood samples, immediately after fixation or at different delayed times after fixation.Before immunolabeling, whole blood samples were centrifugated or not.Different antibodies, anti-CD14-PE with anti-CD61-FITC, anti-CD14-PE with anti-CD41-ECD and anti-CD45-ECD with anti-CD61-FITC, were used to label MPA.The results of MPA from different processing techniques were compared.Results Compared with immediate preparation after blood collection, the percentages of MPA and CD62P-positive platelets increased with the delayed time at room temperature ( 18-25℃) and low temperature ( 2-8℃) ( P<0.05), and there was a positive correlation(room temperature: r=0.82, P<0.05; low temperature: r=0.83, P<0.05).Compared with immediate determination after preparation, the percentages of MPA of samples stored at low temperature for 24h after preparation did not alter significantly(P >0.05).Compared with immunolabeling samples before fixation with 1% paraformaldehyde, no significant change was observed in MPA percentages from immediate immunolabeling after fixation or immunolabeling samples stored at low temperature for 24 h after fixation(P>0.05). Centrifugation of whole blood samples before immunolabeling resulted in significant increase of the percentages of MPA and CD62P-positive platelets(P<0.05).MPA percentages resulted from different antibodies had no significant variance (P >0.05).Conclusions Whole blood samples should be handled as soon as possible.Fixation with 1%paraformaldehyde at low temperature could store samples for 24h before handling.Centrifugation should be avoided before immunolabeling.After preparation and fixation, samples could be stored at low temperature for 24h before analysis.Different antibody combinations, including anti-CD14-PE/anti-CD61-FITC, anti-CD14-PE/anti-CD41-ECD and anti-CD45-ECD/anti-CD61-FITC, are all suitable for immunolabeling MPA.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of communityassociated and hospital-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA) in Jingzhou.Methods A total of 159 MRSA isolates were successively collected from patients in Jingzhou Central Hospital during January 2012 and December 2013.The minimum inhibitory concentrations of 16 antimicrobial agents against 159 MRSA isolates were detected.SCCmec types of the strains were detected by multiplex PCR,and the homology of the strains was analyzed using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and cluster analysis of antibiogram.WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 19.0 were used for data analysis.Results Among 159 MRSA strains,131 were hospital-associated,and 28 were community-associated,which accounted for 82.4% and 17.6%,respectively.There were significant differences in the age of patients,ward distribution,specimen type,length of stay,length of anti-infection treatment,type of infection and underlying diseases between patients with CA-MRSA or HA-MRSA infections (x2 =19.103,31.372,59.756,71.703,54.153,59.756 and 54.232,all P < 0.01).No vancomycin,linezolid,tigecyeline and nitrofurantoin resistant strains were found,but all strains were resistant to penicillin,cefoxitin and oxacillin.HA-MRSA had higher resistance rates to moxifloxacin,levofloxacin,rifampicin,ciprofloxacin and gentamicin than CA-MRSA (x2 =30.179,27.352,28.523,28.523 and 25.987,all P < 0.01),but its resistance rates to erythromycin and clindamycin were lower (x2 =13.106 and 11.743,both P < 0.01).Among 159 MRSA strains,12 (7.5%) were of SCCmec type Ⅱ,113 (71.1%) were of SCCmec type Ⅲ,26 (16.4%) were of SCCmec type Ⅳ,and 8 were of undifferentiated type.The predominant SCCmec types were type Ⅳ for CA-MRSA (26/28,92.9%) and type Ⅲ for HA-MRSA (113/131,86.3%),respectively.Six PFGE patters were found in 49 HA-MRSA isolates from ICU,and the predominant patters were A1 (24,49.0%),A2 (9,18.4%) and B (9,18.4%).Cluster analysis of antibiogram showed that three groups of HA-MRSA were of high correlations,and they were of PFGE patter A1,A2 and B,respectively.Conclusions HA-MRSA is the predominant MRSA in Jingzhou area,and it is different from CA-MRSA in the age of patients,ward distribution,type of infection and antibiotic resistance.Most HA-MRSA strains are of type SCCmec Ⅲ,and may cause epidemic outbreak in ICU.
Objective To investigate the incidence of osteoporosis(OP) in rheumatoid arthritis(RA) patients by monitoring total N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (TPINP), β-collagen specific se-quences (β-CTx) and N-terminal-midfragment of osteocalcin (N-MID) in serum. Methods Bone mineral density (BMD) of 70 cases of RA inpatients and 60 cases of volunteers were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptionmetry. The serum TPINP, β-CTx and N-MID were measured by electrochemiluminescence im-munoassay. The incidence of OP, bone turnover markers in RA patients and volunteers, bone turnover markers in the RA patients with or without OP were evaluated. Results The incidence of OP in RA patients group was significantly higher than that of control group, and difference had statistical significance(χ2=11.07, P<0.05). Compared with control group, the levels of TPINP and N-MID in RA patients were obviously decreased, but the level ofβ-CTx was dramatically increased and the differences all had statistical significance (Pall<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the differences for TPINP and N-MID between RA patients with OP and without OP(t=0.69, t=0.58, Pall>0.05), exceptβ-CTx(t=3.09, P<0.05). Conclusion The measurement of the serum TPINP,β-CTx and N-MID levels are helpful for evaluating the incidence of OP in RA patients.
Hesperidin (HDN) is a citrus bioflavonoid, which widely exists in many plants. Previous researches have proved that HDN has several functions such as anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, immune regulation and so on. In the present study, we explored the protective effects of HDN on concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatic injury. Acute hepatic injury model was established successfully by intravenous administration of Con A (15 mg/kg) in male C57BL/6 mice, and HDN was pretreated for 10 days before Con A challenge. It was found that the hepatic injury was notably improved in HDN pretreated mice. Furthermore, hepatic oxidative stress and the production of proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IFN-γ were decreased by HDN pretreatment. More importantly, compared with Con A-treated mice, the expression and releasing of HMGB1 and T-cell activation were markedly reduced in HDN pretreated mice. Thus, these results suggest that HDN protects mice from Con A-induced hepatic injury by suppressing hepatocyte oxidative stress, producing cytokines, expressing and releasing HMGB1 and activating T cells.
目的:研究抗角蛋白抗体(AKA)在类风湿关节炎(RA)的临床意义。方法收集171例RA患者和186例非RA患者,采用间接免疫荧光法检测患者血清标本中的AKA ,采用电化学发光法检测血清中的抗环胍氨酸肽(CCP)抗体,采用免疫比浊法检测血清中的类风湿因子(RF),采用酶联免疫吸附试验检测血清中炎性因子白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、白细胞介素-17(IL-17)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)。分析比较 AKA、抗CCP抗体、RF对于RA诊断的灵敏性和特异性,分析AKA与抗CCP抗体、RF及炎性因子之间的相关性。结果AKA、抗CCP抗体、RF对于 RA 诊断的灵敏性分别为56.73%、85.12%、75.61%,特异性分别为97.89%、96.48%、90.32%。AKA阳性组与 AKA 阴性组比较,抗 CCP抗体和 RF水平差异有统计学意义(P<0.01)。AKA阳性组IL-1β、IL-6、IL-17、TNF-α水平与 AKA 阴性组比较偏高,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论AKA对于RA的诊断具有很高的特异性,AKA阳性可能预示更为严重的病情。
目的:探讨肾功能不全对应用氨基末端B型利钠肽前体(NT-ProBNP)诊断心力衰竭的影响。方法将240例心力衰竭患者作为心力衰竭组,按肾小球滤过率(GFR)将其分为肾功能正常组(GFR :≥90 mL/min)和肾功能不全组(GFR :<90 mL/min)。根据GFR的降低程度将肾功能不全组再分为轻度组(GFR :60~<90 mL/min)、中度组(GFR :30~<60 mL/min)及重度组(GFR :<30 mL/min)。采集空腹静脉未抗凝血,分离血清。采用Roche Cobas E601型全自动电化学发光免疫分析仪检测血清NT-proBNP水平,Beckman Coulter LX20全自动生化分析仪检测血清肌酐、血糖和血脂水平;超声心动图仪检查测定心脏射血分数(EF)。结果肾功能不全组的血清NT-proBNP水平显著高于肾功能正常组(P<0.01),组间年龄、身体质量指数(BMI)、EF、血糖、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、总胆固醇及三酰甘油水平的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。轻度肾功能不全与肾功能正常组、中度肾功能不全组与重度肾功能不全组患者血清NT-proBNP水平的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),但轻度肾功能不全组和肾功能正常组患者血清NT-proBNP水平均显著低于中度和重度肾功能不全组(P<0.01);不同肾功能组患者EF值的差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。肾功能正常组和轻度肾功能不全组患者的EF值和LogNT-proBNP呈负相关(r值分别为-0.66、-0.54,P<0.01);中度和重度肾功能不全组的 EF值与 LogNT-proBNP无相关性(r值分别为-0.17、-0.36,P>0.05)。结论应用血清NT-proBNP水平诊断心力衰竭必须考虑肾功能的影响,当患者肾功能处于中、重度损伤时,会严重影响NT-proBNP对心力衰竭诊断的准确性。
