    Objective: To explore the mechanism underlying the immunologic injury in TS patients. Methods: The serum levels of anti-brain antibody(ABAb), antinuclear antibody(ANAb), soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R), and soluble gp130 (sgp130) in patients with TS were analyzed by commercialized ELISA kits,and the titer of anti-streptolysin O (ASO) in TS and control was examined with latex enhanced immunoturbidimetry. Results: The levels of sIL-6R and sgp130 were significantly elevated in TS compared with control group (44.1 15.8 vs 30.3 9.0, P<0.01;69.0 24.6 vs 47.3 14.1,P<0.01, respectively) . ASO titer ( 250IU/ml) were found higher in TS than that in control(P 0.01). The positive rates of anti-brain antibody and antinuclear antibody in TS were higher than that in control group as well (66% vs 4% p 0.01; 53% vs 25%, p 0.01). The level of ABAb negatively correlated with sgp130 concentration (r= 0.375, p<0.05). Conclusion: IL-6 signal transduction might be involved in Tourette's syndrome to lead the function upward and start the network mechanism of feedback inhibition, because elevated levels of sIL-6R, sgp130,ANAb and ABAb in serum. Autoimmune-related injuries may participate in the pathogenesis of the disease.

    Objective To investigate Effects of Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells combining with two different gene transfection on the treatment of myocardial infarction in rats. Methods MSCs were isolated and expanded using the preplating method. Ad-ADM or Ad-HGF expression in MSCs and its secretion in culture medium were measured by ELISA. The left anterior descending branch of rats was ligated to establish a myocardial infarction model. Then the pretreated MSCs were labeled by DAPI, and were injected directly into the infarcted myocardium at open thorax surgery. Four weeks later, cardiac function was evaluated using echocardiography. Hearts were harvested. Immunohistochemistry staining of factor Ⅷ was used to evaluate the density of capillary vessels in infarction area. Immunohistochemistry staining of Troponin I (TNI) and connexin 43 were used to evaluate the differentiation and expression of implanted MSCs. Fluorescence microscope was used to identify the DAPI-labeled cells. Results The expression of ADM or HGF was traced in culture medium and has the time-effect relationship. DAPI-labeled transplantion MSCs were founded in the hearts of the recipients and expressed TNI in all MSCs transplantation groups. Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that intense immunostaining for connexin 43 was higher in Ad-ADM plus MSCs group and Ad-HGF plus MSCs group, compared with MSCs group. A combination of Ad-ADM or Ad-HGF trensfection and MSCs transplantation demonstrated a further increase in capillary density and further improved LVEF compared with MSCs alone. There is no statistics significance between Ad-ADM plus MSCs group or Ad-HGF plus MSCs group in all index. Conclusion Ad-ADM or Ad-HGF transfection enhanced the angiogenic potency of MSCs transplantation and improved cardiac function. The treatment of myocardial infarction in rats in both Ad-ADM plus MSCs group and Ad-HGF plus MSCs group is no statistics significance.
