Objective To evaluate the effects of oxidative stress in the airway inflammation and remodeling of high-fat diet induced obese mice with asthma. Methods Sixty female C57 /6J mice were randomly divided into four groups, ie. an asthma group, an obese group, an obese asthma group, and a control group. The mice in the asthma group were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin ( OVA) and fed with normal diets. The mice in the obese group were fed with high-fat diets. The mice in the obese asthma group were sensitized and challenged as the asthma group, and fed as the obese group. The mice in the control group were sensitized and challenged with normal saline and fed with normal diets. After 12 weeks, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) were collected for total and differential cell count. IL-6 and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α ( 8-iso-PGF2α) in lung tissue homognate were detected by ELISA. The pathological changes were observed under light microscope by HE staining. Meanwhile the remodeling indices including total bronchial wall area ( WAt) , smooth muscle area ( WAm) , and bronchial basement membrane perimeter ( Pbm) were measured. Results In comparison with the obese group and the asthma group, the leukocytes and eosinophils in BALF, WAt/ Pbm, and IL-6 in lung tissue increased significantly in the obese asthma group ( P lt; 0. 05) . 8-iso-PGF2αin lung tissue increased in sequence of the control group, the obese group, the asthma group, and the obese asthma group significantly. Pearson correlation analysis showed that leukocyte in BALF, WAt/ Pbm, and IL-6 were in positive correlation with 8-iso-PGF2α( r =0. 828, 0. 863, 0. 891, respectively, P lt;0. 01) . Conclusion Oxidative stress is involved in the airway inflammation and remodeling of obese asthma mice with high-fat diets.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the application of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).MethodsPubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were searched for studies on ECMO for COVID-19 from December 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2020. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and evaluated the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 24 studies were included, involving 1 576 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients with COVID-19. The overall mortality of patients was 27.3% (430/1 576). The rate of ECMO treatment was 4.68% (379/1576), and the survival rate was 69.4% (263/379). The mean duration of mechanical ventilation prior to ECMO treatment for ARDS patients ranged from 2.07±0.40 to 15.89±13.0 days, compared with 1.64±0.78 days and 29.9±3.60 days for ECMO treatment. Of the 11 studies included in the meta-analysis, 84.0% (405/482) patients with ARDS received conventional treatment with COVID-19, and 16.0% (77/482) received ECMO treatment on the basis of conventional treatment with ARDS. Results of meta-analysis showed that there was statistically significant difference in the survival rate of ARDS patients with COVID-19 treated with conventional therapy combined with ECMO or with conventional therapy alone (RR=1.27, 95%CI 1.00 to 1.62, P=0.05).ConclusionsThis study suggests that the survival rate of COVID-19 patients after ECMO treatment has a tendency to improve. Due to the limitation of quantity and quality of included studies, the above conclusions are needed to be verified by more high-quality studies.
Objective To investigate the effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) on airway remodeling in obese asthmatic mice and intervention effects of pirfenidone. Methods Seventy-five C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups, namely a blank control group (group A), an obese group (group B), an obese asthmatic group (group C), a budesonide treatment group (group D) and a pirfenidone treatment group (group E). The mice in the B, C, D, and E groups were fed with high fat diets, then the mice in the C, D, and E groups were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) to establish the model of chronic obese asthma. The mice in group A were fed with normal diets, sensitized and challenged with normal saline. The mice in group D were treated with budesonide (0.5 mg/ml), and the mice in group E were treated with pirfenidone (300 mg/kg). After 4 weeks of treatment, the total number of white cells as well as the percentage of leukocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils and macrophage in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were counted. ELISA and Western blot were used to evaluate the expression of TGF-β. The pathological changes of mice were observed under light microscope by HE and periodic acid-Schiff staining. Meanwhile the remodeling indices were measured including total bronchial wall area (WAt), smooth muscle area (WAm), and bronchial basement membrane perimeter (Pbm). Results The levels of leukocyte and eosinophils in BALF, expression of TGF-β, WAt/Pbm and WAm/Pbm in group C were higher than those in group A, B, D, and E (allP<0.05). The levels of eosinophils in BALF, WAt/Pbm in group E were lower than those in group D (allP<0.05). The level of TGF-β decreased in a sequence of group C>D>E>B>A (allP<0.05). The expression of TGF-β was in a positive correlation with eosinophil percentage in BALF (r=0.79,P<0.01). Conclusions The expression of TGF-β in the airway of obese asthmatic mice is closely related to airway inflammation, airway hyper-secretion and airway remodeling. Pirfenidone can effectively inhibit the expression of TGF-β and improve airway remodeling.
目的 增加对慢性淋巴细胞白血病合并非霍奇金淋巴瘤临床病例的认识。 方法 通过报道2011年11月和2012年7月入住的2例确诊为慢性淋巴细胞白血病合并非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者的诊治过程，复习文献，讨论其发病机制、治疗及预后。 结果 该2例患者均予以化疗，其中1例浅表淋巴结明显缩小，骨髓涂片基本恢复正常，病情控制较好；另1例合并症多、病情恶化快、肿瘤化疗效果欠佳，最后因呼吸衰竭死亡。 结论 慢性淋巴细胞白血病合并非霍奇金淋巴瘤，治疗上应综合考虑患者年龄、ECOG评分、临床分期、预后指数等因素，原则上以治疗恶性程度更高的非霍奇金淋巴瘤为主，可根据慢性淋巴细胞白血病分期进行观察、随访或积极治疗。

Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with recurrent non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma after auto-HSCT from January 2000 to December 2010 were collected, including nine males and 2 females with the median age of 39 years (13-48 years old), and the median duration of the disease was 3 years (27 months-6.5 years). All patients were relapsed or refractory cases. After auto-HSCT, complete remission was found in 8 and partial remission was in 3. The recurrence median time after auto-HSCT was 15 months. The patients underwent allo-HSCT after the recurrence of the disease. In the 11 patients, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) full matched (6/6) in 6, 5/6 matched in 3, and 4/6 matched in 2; the same gender in 6 and different gender in 5. FBC conditioning regimen: fludarabine 30 mg/m2 for 1-5 days, BU 12-14 mg/kg in 4 days of oral, CY 120 mg/kg in 2 days. Grafts are peripheral blood stem cells plus bone marrow. Prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD): HLA full-matched by CsA+short-term MTX+MMF and mismatched by ATG+CsA+short-term MTX+MMF. Results All of the 11 patients received hematopoietic reconstruction, acute GVHD occurred in 6 cases (54.55%), including degree Ⅰ plus Ⅱ in 4, degree Ⅲ in 1 and degree Ⅳ in 1. One patient died of infection due to degree Ⅳ GVHD, and the rest had been effectively controlled. Chronic GVHD occurred in 7 patients (63.64%); limited type was in 4 in and extensive type was in 3. During the follow-up period of 8 months-9 years, 4 patients relapsed 8, 15, 21, and 34 months after transplantation, and the other 6 patients was still alive. Conclusion Allo-HSCT is effective on relapsing non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma after auto-HSCT.
