    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the Wnt pathway in regulating the IL-34 level of lupus nephritis (LN) patients, and to explore the underlying mechanism.
    Materials and methods: Human mesangial cells (HMCs) of LN patients were selected. The expression level of IL-34 was detected by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. Subsequently, HMCs were treated with the Wnt pathway antagonist, DDK1. Meanwhile, the IL-34 level in DDK1 transfected HMCs was then detected. In addition, the viability of HMCs treated with DDK1 was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and colony formation assay, respectively.
    Results: Both the mRNA and protein levels of IL-34 were significantly upregulated in HMCs of LN patients. Higher expression of β-catenin was observed in HMCs of LN patients than those of controls, which was reduced after DDK1 treatment. Meanwhile, IL-34 level in HMCs of LN patients was significantly downregulated after DDK1 treatment. In addition, DDK1 treatment remarkably increased the proliferative ability and colony formation ability of HMCs in LN patients.
    Conclusions: IL-34 is highly expressed in HMCs of LN patients and is negatively regulated by the Wnt pathway. Furthermore, HMCs viability is remarkably enhanced after blocking the Wnt pathway.

    Abstract Quercetin, the main component of flavonoids, has a wide range of biological actions. Quercetin can be made into a variety of additives for practice, because of the stable chemical structure and water-soluble derivatives. This study was intended to explore the effects of quercetin on immune function and its regulatory mechanism in Arbor Acre broiler to provide a practical basis for improving poultry immune function and figure out the optimum supplementation as functional feed additives. A total of 240 one-day-old healthy Arbor Acre broilers, similar in body weight, were randomly allotted to 4 treatments with 6 replicates, 10 broilers in each replicate and fed with diets containing quercetin at 0, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06% for 6 wk. Blood and immune organs (spleen, thymus, and bursa) were collected from chickens at the end of the experiment. Growth performance, immune organs indexes, contents of serum immune molecules, splenic T lymphocyte proliferative responses, and expression of immune related genes were evaluated. The results showed that dietary quercetin had no significant effect (P > 0.05) on growth performance of broilers. Compared with control, 0.06% quercetin supplementation in diet significantly increased spleen index and thymus index (P < 0.05). It also increased the secretion of immune molecules including immunoglobulin A (IgA), interleukin-4 (IL-4) (P < 0.001), immunoglobulin M (IgM) (P = 0.007), complement component 4 (C4) (P = 0.001), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) (P < 0.05). On the other hand, 0.02% quercetin supplementation significantly increased complement component 3 (C3) (P < 0.05). Additionally, both 0.04 and 0.06% quercetin supplementation significantly increased expression of TNF-α, TNF receptor associated factor-2 (TRAF-2), TNF receptor superfamily member 1B (TNFRSF1B), nuclear factor kappa-B p65 subunit (NF-κBp65), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) mRNA (P < 0.05), and expression of NF-κB inhibitor-alpha (IκB-α) mRNA were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Thus, quercetin improved immune function via NF-κB signaling pathway triggered by TNF-α.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression levels of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) and interleukin-23 (IL-23) in renal tissue and serum of patients with lupus nephritis (LN), and to explore their clinical correlation.
    Patients and methods: LN patients and healthy controls were enrolled in the experimental group and the control group, respectively. Blood samples, serum, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected. Renal lesion tissues and adjacent normal tissues of LN patients were harvested from a renal tissue biopsy. Serum level of IL-23 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression of IL-23 in PBMCs was determined by quantitative Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. Meanwhile, TLR9 expression in renal tissues was accessed by immunohistochemistry staining. Subsequently, 24-h protein urine, renal tubular pathological activity index, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum complement C3 level, and blood albumin level of LN patients were recorded. Also, the correlation between TLR9 expression and these pathological indexes was measured by correlation analysis.
    Results: Serum level of IL-23 in LN patients was significantly higher than that of healthy controls. Similarly, the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-23 in PBMCs of LN patients were markedly higher than those of healthy controls. IL-23 expression was positively correlated with renal tubular pathological activity index of LN patients. Meanwhile, TLR9 was highly expressed in renal tissues of LN patients. Furthermore, TLR9 expression was positively correlated with 24-h protein urine, renal tubular pathological activity index and ESR, whereas negatively correlated with serum complement C3 level and blood albumin level of LN patients.
    Conclusions: IL-23 is highly expressed in the serum of LN patients, and its expression is closely related to the occurrence of LN. Also, the expression of TLR9 is up-regulated in the tubulointerstitium of LN patients, which is correlated with relevant clinical indexes.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the impact of miR-124Aa on the proliferation, invasion and cytokine excretion of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
    Patients and methods: RASFs were separated for in-vitro culture, and transfected using lipidosome that connected with chemically synthesized miR-124a mimic or miR-124a inhibitor. Then, MTT, transwell chamber, and flow-cytometry were used to detect the impact on the proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of RASFs; RT-PCR and Western-blotting were employed to measure the effect of miR-124a on the expressions of matrixmetalloproteinase3/13 (MMP3/13) and interleukin1β (IL-1β) of RASFs.
    Results: miR-124a significantly suppresses the proliferation of RASFs, while inhibits the invasion of RASFs. The flow cytometry indicated that miR-124a showed no significant effect on the apoptosis of RASFs. Finally, miR-124a downregulates the expressions of MMP3/13 and IL-1β.
    Conclusions: MiR-124a is of great significance for the onset of RA by inhibiting the proliferation and invasion of RASFs possibly through downregulating the expression of MMP3/13 and IL-1β.

    Abstract Hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) is a frequently occurring epidemic and has been an important cause of childhood mortality in China. Given the disease's significant impact nationwide, the epidemiological characteristics and spatio-temporal clusters in Fuyang from 2008 to 2013 were analysed in this study. The disease exhibits strong seasonality with a rising incidence. Of the reported HFMD cases, 63·7% were male and 95·2% were preschool children living at home. The onset of HFMD is age-dependent and exhibits a 12-month periodicity, with 12-, 24- and 36-month-old children being the most frequently affected groups. Across the first 60 months of life, children born in April [relative risk (RR) 8·18], May (RR 9·79) and June (RR 8·21) exhibited an elevated infection risk of HFMD relative to January-born children; the relative risk compared with the reference (January-born) group was highest for children aged 24 months born in May (RR 34·85). Of laboratory-confirmed cases, enterovirus 71 (EV71), coxsackie A16 (Cox A16) and other enteroviruses accounted for 60·1%, 7·1% and 32·8%, respectively. Spatio-temporal analysis identified one most likely cluster and several secondary clusters each year. The centre of the most likely cluster was found in different regions in Fuyang. Implications of our findings for current and future public health interventions are discussed.
