IgG4 and IgE co-positive group found in idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease

AIM: To reveal the cytokines involved in idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease (IOID) and the relationship between Th17 cells, IgE and IOID pathogenesis. METHODS: Whole blood samples were processed immediately after collection and serological IgG4, IgG, and IgE antibodies were tested using ELISA. IOID and orbital cavernous hemangioma (CH) tissue samples underwent Bio-Plex multiplex cytokine detection. Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining of all paraffin samples suggested the histological features of IOIDs, and expressions of IgG4 and IL-17A in affected tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Among 40 IOID plasma samples, 52.5% (21/40) were positive for IgG4 and 25% (10/40) were positive for IgE. Overlapped IgG4 or IgE positive samples accounted for 22.5% (9/40). Therefore, IOID samples were separated into three groups. The IgE+/IgG4+ group had a relevantly lower level of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. IL-4 (Th2 cell related), IL-10 and TGF-β1 (Treg cell immunity related) were elevated in all three groups. Some of the Th17 cell related cytokines (i.e. IL-17A/F, IL-25, IL-23, and IL-33) displayed higher expression levels in the IgE-/IgG4- group compared to the other two groups. CONCLUSION: We discovered an IgG4-IgE co-positive group as well as Th17 cell immune involvement in IgG4-IgE co-negative subgtroup in IOID for the first time. The pathogenesis of IOID could differ from different subgroups according to the IgG4 and IgE detection. Therefore, we recommend that, Treatment stratagy should be made according to the clinical assessment of IgG4-IgE and Th17 profile detection.

长期应用恩替卡韦治疗的慢性乙型肝炎患者耐药发生情况及原因分析:8年随访研究

目的:了解慢性乙型肝炎患者长期应用恩替卡韦(ETV)治疗的耐药发生情况并探讨耐药原因。方法:对2003-2007年3月参加ETV剂量和疗效的随机双盲Ⅱ期临床试验、ETV与拉米夫定(LAM)治疗慢性乙型肝炎的随机双盲对照Ⅲ期临床试验、ETV治疗LAM失效的慢性乙型肝炎Ⅲ期临床试验及其后续ETV开放治疗临床试验的63例慢性乙型肝炎患者继续给予治疗和随访,计算截至2011年3月的累积耐药发生率,对临床耐药患者进行乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)逆转录酶区(RT)序列突变检测,并分析耐药原因。结果:63例患者中3例治疗2年后失访;1例治疗2.5年时转其他中心治疗;其他59例中16例用药4～6年,43例用药7～8年,随访4～8年,中位随访时间7年。13例患者发生临床耐药,累积耐药发生率为20.5%。9例耐药患者进行了HBV RT序列突变检测,其中5例检测出LAM耐药位点L180M和M204V突变和1～2个ETV耐药位点突变,符合ETV耐药特点;3例仅检出LAM耐药位点突变;1例检出2个ETV耐药位点突变和ADF耐药位点A181T突变。LAM经治、治疗前高病毒载量、治疗6个月病毒学应答不佳、治疗依从性差可能与耐药的发生有关。结论:长期应用恩替卡韦治疗慢性乙型肝炎耐药率较低。对治疗初期应答不佳患者,加强监测和提高治疗依从性可减少耐药的发生。

Light Emitting Diodes Irradiation Regulates miRNA-877-3p to Promote Cardiomyocyte Proliferation

Mammalian cardiomyocytes (CMs) maintain a low capacity for self-renewal in adulthood, therefore the induction of CMs cycle re-entry is an important approach to promote myocardial repair after injury. Recently, photobiomodulation (PBM) has been used to manipulate physiological activities of various tissues and organs by non-invasive means. Here, we demonstrate that conditioned PBM using light-emitting diodes with a wavelength of 630 nm (LED-Red) was capable of promoting the proliferation of neonatal CMs. Further studies showed that low-power LED-Red affected the expression of miR-877-3p and promoted the proliferation of CMs. In contrast, silencing of miR-877-3p partially abolished the pro-proliferative actions of LED-Red irradiation on CMs. Mechanistically, GADD45g was identified as a downstream target gene of miR-877-3p. Conditioned LED-Red irradiation also inhibited the expression of GADD45g in neonatal CMs. Moreover, GADD45g siRNA reversed the positive effect of LED-Red on the proliferation of neonatal CMs. Taken together, conditioned LED-Red irradiation increased miR-877-3p expression and promoted the proliferation of neonatal CMs by targeting GADD45g. This finding provides a new insight into the role of LED-Red irradiation in neonatal CMs biology and suggests its potential application in myocardial injury repair.
