简介:摘要目的研究慢性特发性荨麻疹患者外周血单个核细胞分泌IFN-γ和IL-4水平检测及意义。方法选择我院2014年5月至2015年5月接收的慢性特发性荨麻疹患者41例作为研究对象,设为观察组,选择同期健康体检者40例作为对照组,对两组的IFN-γ和IL-4水平进行比较分析。结果观察组患者的IFN-γ水平比对照组降低,两组数据差异显著,有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组患者的IL-4水平比对照组高,两组数据差异显著,有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论慢性特发性荨麻疹患者血清中的IFN-γ水平降低,IL-4水平升高,表明IFN-γ和IL-4参与慢性荨麻疹的发病过程。

简介:目的通过观察耳蜗基底膜毛细胞凋亡相关因子caspase-3、caspase-8和caspase-9表达的变化,揭示老年大鼠耳蜗毛细胞凋亡的信号通路。方法人选Fischer344大鼠27只.青年组12只,3-4月龄;老年组15只,20~27月龄。3种半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶荧光标记青年大鼠耳蜗各8个,老年大鼠耳蜗各10个。应用电位反应测听仪检测不同频率短纯音(5、10、20和d0kHz)诱发的青年和老年大鼠双侧听性脑干诱发电位反应阈值(ABR)。听觉功能测试后,用微量注射器分别将新鲜配制的3种半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶荧光染色液缓慢注入动物内耳,耳蜗内灌注后1h,动物断头处死。采用细胞核DNA荧光染料碘化丙锭(PI)染色耳蜗基底膜细胞,荧光显微镜下观察不同月龄大鼠耳蜗基底膜毛细胞3种半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶荧光染色的变化。结果老年大鼠的不同频率听性脑干反应阈值均高于青年对照组(P〈0.05)。青年大鼠耳蜗毛细胞核周围未见3种半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶阳性荧光标记物,老年大鼠耳蜗基底膜以核固缩为特征的凋亡外毛细胞核周围存在caspases-3和caspases-9绿色荧光标记物,未见caspases-8标记物。以核肿胀为特征的坏死外毛细胞核周围未见3种半胱氨酸天冬氨酸蛋白酶阳性荧光标记物。结论老年大鼠耳蜗毛细胞凋亡可能通过caspases-9相关的线粒体信号转导通路而不是easpases~8相关的死亡受体通路启动完成。
