【摘要】 目的 检测B细胞成熟抗原（BCMA）mRNA在系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）患者外周血单个核细胞（PBMC）的表达水平，探讨BCMA在SLE发病中的意义。 方法 纳入2006年1-11月收治的36例SLE患者，同期17例健康志愿者作为对照组，采用半定量RT-PCR法检测外周血单个核细胞中BCMA mRNA的表达，并与SLE疾病活动指数（SLEDAI）进行相关性分析。 结果 SLE患者组BCMA mRNA表达水平（0.598±0.230）均明显高于正常对照组（0.411±0.309）（Plt;0.05）。SLE患者BCMA mRNA表达水平与SLEDAI评分无相关性（P=0.590）。 结论 SLE患者BCMA mRNA表达水平的增高，可能在SLE的发病机制中具有一定的作用。【Abstract】 Objective To detect the mRNA expression of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and explore the role of BCMA in the pathogenesis of SLE. Methods From January 2006 to November 2006 the expression of BCMA mRNA in PBMC of 36 patients with SLE and 17 normal controls were measured by half-quantitative RT-PCR. The linear correlation between the expression of BCMA mRNA and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) was assessed. Results The level of BCMA mRNA (0.598±0.230) in PBMC significantly increased in SLE patients compared with that in the normal controls (0.411±0.309) (Plt;0.05). The expression of BCMA mRNA in SLE patients showed no correlation with SLEDAI score (P=0.590). Conclusion The results suggest that the expression of BCMA mRNA might play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE.
目的:观察白芍总苷(TGP)联合甲氨喋呤(MTX)和柳氮磺吡啶(SASP)治疗强直性脊柱炎(AS)疗效和安全性。方法:58例符合强直性脊柱炎标准的患者随机纳入2组:治疗组:29例,口服白芍总苷+甲氨喋呤+柳氮磺吡啶;对照组:29例,口服甲氨喋呤+柳氮磺吡啶,两组疗程均为3月。结果:经3月治疗,两组间Schober实验、胸廓扩张度、晨僵持续时间、血沉(ESR)及C反应蛋白(CRP)等5项指标较治疗前均显著降低(Plt;0.01),但治疗组上述指标改善值优于对照组,差异分别有显著意义(Plt;0.05)或极显著意义(Plt;0.01);治疗组不良反应发生率明显少于对照组(Plt;0.05)。结论:白芍总苷联合甲氨喋呤和柳氮磺吡啶是治疗强直性脊柱炎安全有效方法。
