Objective To observe the effect of Xiaochaihutang on ammonia-induced edema of astrocytes in rats and explore the mechanism of Xiaochaihutang in the treatment of cerebral edema based on NF-κB signaling pathway.Methods Astrocytes were isolated from the cerebral cortex of SD rats 1-2 days old.When the cell content was more than 95%,the cells could be subcultured and divided into three groups:Vehicle group(10%blank control group serum,Vehicle),Model group(10%blank control group serum+5 mmol·L-1 ammonium chloride,Model),and Xiaochaihutang group(10%serum+5 mmol·L-1 ammonium chloride,XCHT).The expression of AQP4 was detected by immunofluorescence.The levels of AQP4,GFAP,and TNF-α were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.NF-κB P65 was measured by Western blot.Results ① Ammonium chloride increased the expression of AQP4 in astrocytes(P<0.01)and decreased the expression of GFAP(P<0.05,P<0.01),however,the expression of AQP4 in astrocytes decreased(P<0.01)while GFAP increased(P<0.05)after the intervention of serum containing Xiaochaihutang.② Compared with the Vehicle group,the expression level of TNF-α and phosphorylation of NF-κB P65 in the Model group was significantly increased(P<0.05),while after Xiaochaihutang serum medicated treatment,TNF-α and phosphorylation of NF-κB P65 content lower(P<0.05).Conclusion Xiaochaihutang can improve the edema of astrocytes induced by ammonia and enhance the activity of astrocytes.Its mechanism may be related to inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathways,and reduce inflammation medium(especially TNF-α)produced and released.
摘要
The incidence of inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma is low, and bladder origin is more rare. We reported a 58-year-old patient with painless gross hematuria for one week. Total abdominal CT examination showed soft tissue mass in the anterior wall of the bladder, which was considered as bladder cancer, and bladder tumor resection was performed. Postoperative pathology showed inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma. Therefore, radical cystectomy was performed because of the high degree of malignancy. There was no recurrence during 3 years follow-up.

Objective To explore the correlation between simple thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) positive (higher than the normal reference value) and the adverse pregnancy outcomes;and to discuss the necessity of clinical intervention on TPOAb positive and the characteristic of gestational thyroid peroxidase antibody changes.To study wether clinical intervention affects its direction.Methods Subjects were selected from TPOAb positive pregnant women during June 2012 to February 2015.They were registered regularly for thyroid function during pregnancy and 6 weeks postpartum,and timely treated for abnormal thyroid function.They were grouped according to the thyroid function:Group 1 (n =122),simple TPOAb positive group;Group 2 (n =67),patients with elevated TSH and positive TPOAb who accept the levothyroxine (L-T4) intervention;Group 3 (n =120),TPOAb negative healthy pregnant women.They were regularly tested for thyroid function during pregnancy,and with follow-up until 6 weeks postpartum.Results When Group 1 compared with Group 3:the risk of premature rupture of membranes,abnormal amniotic fluid,and fetal distress rate increased,the relative risk (RR) were 3.066,4.782,2.605,all P <0.01,while the gestational diabetes,gestational hypertension,preterm birth,abnormal gestation and birth showed no statistical differences (P>0.05).When Group 2 compared with Group 3,the risk of premature rupture of membranes,abnormal amniotic fluid,and fetal distress increased (RR were 3.830,5.537,3.600 respectively,all P < 0.01).While gestational diabetes,gestational hypertension,preterm birth,abnormal gestation and birth did not show any statistical difference (P>0.05).Compared with Group 2,Group 1 had no statistical difference between the above observational parameters.The levels of TPOAb from stage T1 (the first trimester) to T3(the third trimester) showed a overall downward trend in Group 1 and Group 2,rise again six weeks after child birth.Comparison of the two groups (Group 1 and Group 2),the median value during this period did not reveal any significantly statistical differences (P> 0.05).Conclusion In simple TPOAb positive pregnant women,premature rupture of membranes,abnormality in amniotic fluid,and fetal distress were significantly higher than those in healthy pregnant women;even with thyroid function correction the TPOAb positive pregnant women still cannot reduce the adverse pregnancy outcomes.Levels of TPOAb from T1 to T3 presented the overall downward trend and to rise again six weeks after pregnancy.L-T4 intervention for TPOAb positive pregnancy did not show any significant effect.
