Cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK cells) are a group of CD3+ CD56+ T cell-based heterogeneous cells generated in vitro,with T-cell receptor (TCR) specificity of CD8+ T cells and anti-tumor activity of non-restrictive major histocompatibility complex (MHC).Recent studies indicated that vaccination with CIK cells induced strong anti-tumor activity in the treatment of malignant lymphoma.These researches show that CIK cell-based immunotherapy has the important values for patients with malignant lymphoma.

BACKGROUND:The major aim of repair of lumbar spondylolisthesis is to restore and reconstruct the stability of spine sequence, and to relieve compression of herniated disc on nerve root. Pedicle screw system and bone graft fusion become the preferred way to treat spondylolisthesis of most scholars. Most scholars are prone to posterior interbody fusion or posterolateral interbody fusion.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical curative effects of posterior autologous iliac bone graft fusion and posterior Cage intervertebral bone graft fusion in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis by observing fusion rate and height of intervertebral loss.
METHODS:A total of 61 patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis in Xuancheng Central Hospital from July 2008 to December 2013 were enrol ed in this study. According to the different types of interbody fusion, 37 cases in autologous ilium group received posterior autologous iliac bone graft fusion. 24 cases in the Cage interbody fusion cage group underwent posterior Cage interbody fusion cage fusion. Operation time, blood loss, spondylolisthesis reduction, graft fusion and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score were compared between 
the two groups. The significance of different fusion manners on prognosis was explored in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No significant difference in blood loss was detected between the two groups (P>0.05). However, the operation time was significantly longer in the autologous ilium group than in the Cage interbody fusion cage group (P<0.05). The reduction rate, bone graft fusion rate and improvement rate of clinical curative effects were good in both groups, and no significant difference was detectable in above indexes between the two groups (P>0.05). Significant difference in the height of intervertebral loss was detectable between the two groups in final fol ow-up (P<0.05). The height of intervertebral loss was better in the Cage interbody fusion cage group than in the autologous ilium group. These findings indicate that two kinds of bone graft fusion manners for lumbar spondylolisthesis obtained good reduction and clinical curative effects, but the height of intervertebral loss was smal in the Cage interbody fusion cage fusion during long-period fol ow-up, and the clinical effect was good.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of Kennedy disease with secondary mitochondrial dysfunction and glutaric aciduria typeⅡ.Methods The clinical data of 1 case Kennedy disease with secondary mitochondrial dysfunction and glutaric aciduria typeⅡwas retrospectively analyzed.Results The patient presented muscle weakness in proximal limbs, fasciculation, bulbar palsy, amyotrophy, postural tremor, sensory disturbance, gynaecomastia, impotency.The level of serum creatine kinase and urinary glutaric acid were elevated. Electromyogram and nerve and muscle biopsy supported mixed damage in peripheral nerves, as well as neurogenic and secondary myogenic pathologic changes in muscles.Gene sequencing indicated trinucleotide CAG repeated amplification for 47 times in chromosome X.Diabetes was diagnosed at 7 years after onset.Conclusions The pathogenesis of Kennedy disease is very complex, which may involve myogenic factor.The treatment to the secondary mitochondrial and lipid metabolic disturbance in muscle can improve the muscle weakness to a certain extent.

Objective The abnormal proliferation of renal cells underlies the pathology of progressive glomerulosclerosis.Cell proliferation is regulated by cell regulatory proteins.This study aims to investigate the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor P16INK4a in renal tissue of patients with primary mesangial proliferative glomemlonephritis(MsPGN)and its clinical significance.Methods Paraffinembedded renal biopsy renal tissue sections from 36 patients with MsPGN were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Normal renal ti8.Sue sections from 6 nephrectomized patients with trauma were used as controls.Possible correlation between p16 positive area and sclerotic and crescentic glomeruli,blood pressure,serum creatinine,endogenous creatinine clearance rate,and total proteinuria were evaluated.Resuits There were very few expression of P16INK4a in normal glomemli and renal tubular-interstitial.Compared to the normal comrol group,the expression of P16INK4a in 36 renal biopsy specimens with MsPG'N was significantly higher(P<0.01),especially in sclerotic and crescentic glomeruli,and it had wild expression of the same components in no sclerotic and crescentic glomeruli.There was a statistic difference(P<0.01).No statistic difference was found between the expression of P16 INK4a in renal tubular-interstitial of two groups(P>0.05).Therewag positive correlation among P16 INK4a of glomeruli without use of glucocorticoid/immunoinlfibitors and ACEI/ARB(r=0.774,0.497,P<0.01),also blood pressure and 8ul～m creatinine(r=0.64,0.473,P<0.01).It was negstively correlated with endogenous creatinine clearance rate and total proteinuria(r=-0.487,-0.694,P<0.01).There is no correlation between P16INK4s and clinical data in renal tubular-interstitial.Conclusion This study demonstrated that overexpression of P16INK4a in renal tissue with MsPGN may promote the regression ofabnormal proliferation and senescence cells,and induce sclerotic and crescentic glomeruli.The expression level of P16 INK4a not only reflected the degree of renal function,but also hypertension and proteinuria.In brief,expression of P16INK4a may be an important marker in renal sclerotic or crescentic glomeruli of MsPGN.Some drugs may prevent the expression of P16INKa.

Objective: To observe the clinical effects of scalp acupuncture and body acupuncture on post-stroke ataxia. Methods: 124 cases of post-stroke ataxia were treated with scalp and body acupuncture to observe the changes of blood velocity in the blood vessels of the brain and the total effects after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 93.5% based on the result of Berg Balance scale, and was 91.1% on the activities of daily living (ADL) index. The blood velocity of the vertebrobasilar artery was higher after the treatment compared to before treatment (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture had good clinical effects.

Background and purpose:Brain is one of the most common sites for distant metastasis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer,and the prognosis of patients with brain metastasis is usually dismal.The purpose of this retrospective study is to document the relationship between the prognosis of lung cancer patients with brain metastasis and the expressions of p53,nm23 and VEGF in resected lung cancer tissues.Methods:Ninety-two patients who were definitively treated with surgery for non-small cell lung cancer but lately developed brain metastasis between 1997 and 2005 were identified in our institution.Their clinical data were retrieved and retrospectively reviewed.All pathological specimens of their resected lung cancer were examined for the expressions of p53,nm23 and VEGF by immunohistochemical staining.The association between the treatment outcome and the expression of the above mentioned biomarkers were analyzed.Results:The median survival time(MST) of patients with p53(+) versus p53(-) was 11.0 versus 11.9 month,respectively.The 1,2,and 3-year overall survival rates were 45.71%,22.86%,and 18.29% respectively for p53(+) patients,and 49.55%,16.12%,and 8.89% respectively for p53(-) patients(P=0.5179);The MST of patients with nm23(+) versus nm23(-) was 13.0 versus 10.1 month,respectively.The 1,2,and 3-year overall survival rates were 54.20%,21.51%,and 16.45% respectively for nm23(+) patients,and 32.0%,12.0%,and 4.0% respectively for nm23(-) patients(P=0.1075);The MST of patients with VEGF(+) versus VEGF(-) was 10.5 versus 12.2 months,respectively.The 1,2,and 3 year overall survival rates were 42.20%,0,and 0 respectively for VEGF(+) patients,and 50.0%,25.41%,and 16.57% respectively for VEGF(-) patients(P=0.0231).Conclusions:VEGF was a significant adverse prognostic factor for patients with non-small cell lung cancer who developed brain metastasis.Lung cancer patients whose tumor tissue demonstrated positive VEGF expression had reduced overall survival rates at 1,2,and 3 years after surgery.The expression of p53 and nm23 are not significantly associated to the prognosis of this group of patients.

Objective To construct contains human interleukin-10 gene recombinant lentiviral-vector(LV-IL-10)and to form a basis to further explore the therapy of chronic pain.Methods hIL-10 gene fragment was isolated and amplified from pCYIL-10 plasmid by PCR,and was cloned into pWPXL-GFP.The inserted hIL-10 fragment was verified by Pme I digestion and DNA sequencing.The recombinant plasmid pWPXL-IL-10-GFP,envelope plasmid pMD2.G and packaging plasmid psPAX2 were cotransfected into 293T cells,to pack out lentivirus particle that has the ability of duplicated-deficiency,then virus titer determination was undertaken.Results The 530bp IL-10 gene fragment was amplified from pCYIL-10 plasmid by PCR,and was recombinated into pWPXL-GFP plasmid.DNA sequencing confirmed that the cloned gene segment was 100% homologous to the published hIL-10 sequence in genebank.High titer(2?1010)and highly purified lentiviral particles was obtained.Conclusions The lentivirus vector LV-hIL-10 was constructed successfully,which form a basis of research of chronic pain therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of Na +-dependent high-affinity dicarboxylate cotransporter 3(NaDC3) and glucose on the transport of succinate in human proximal tubular epithelial cells (HKC) . Methods Western blot was used to detect the expression of hNaDC3 protein in the pcDNA3-hNaDC3, pcDNA3-AhNaDC3 and pcDNA3, transfected HKC, and normal HKC cell. Analysis of succinate contents in the intaking-buffer at the various time points and in the variouse concentrations of glucose were determined by capillary zone electrophoresis. Results The cell transfected with pcDNA3- hNaDC3 was found to have over-expression of hNaDC3 protein for about 1.5 times that of the normal HKC, while succinate content in intaking-buffer was decreased. Although the cells transfected with pcDNA3-AhNaDC3 showed lower expression of hNaDC3 protein, being about 0.6 times that of normal HKC cells, the decrease of succinate in intaking buffer was not obviously effected. There were no differences in hNaDC3 protein content and succinate intaking between the cells transfected with pcDNA3 and normal HKC cells. With the increase in glucose concentration, the decrease of succinate in intaking-buffer was accelerated. Conlusion The results suggested that the overexpression of hNaDC3 protein can cause the succinate-intake more quickly in HKC.

Objective To observe and compare the accurate dynamic changes of types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens in the wound healing processes of the rabbit cornea undergoing laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and to investigate the possible mechanisms of corneal haze and myopic regression. Methods New Zealand White rabbits were divided into 8 groups: normal control group (n=6), 1, 7 d, and 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 month groups (n=14). Every rabbit underwent LASEK in one eye while the other one with PRK. We used Western blot analysis to compare the wound healing process of dynamic changes of types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens in the rabbit cornea at every time point. The results were analyzed with data analysis software. Results Western blot analysis showed that after LASEK, the cornea wound healing with types Ⅰand Ⅲ collagens were much faster than that of PRK, and the wound response was also much weaker. Whereas for types Ⅴ and Ⅵ collagens, their dynamic changes were similar between LASEK and PRK, and they both reached the peak value at 3 month after the surgery, but LASEK group returned to normal earlier than PRK group. The value of these two types of collagens after PRK was higher than that by LASEK. The changes of these four types of collagens may offer us at least partial explanation to the difference of formation of corneal haze and refractive regression. Conclusion There are significant differences between LASEK and PRK in types Ⅰ, Ⅲ, Ⅴ, and Ⅵ collagens or the time of reacting, reaching apex, and returning to normal. LASEK has slighter intensity of reaction. The results indicate that there is excessive aggradation of collagens after PRK, which may be the histological foundation of obvious haze and myopia regression.
