Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(7):529-532
Studies suggest that some patients with synchronous oligometastatic lesions in brain,adrenal gland,lung,et al,may achieve long-term survival via complete resection. Some subgroups of patients with stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ primary lesions, without or with single mediastinal lymph node involvement and with resectable oligometastatic lesions may benefit from surgery. A better understanding of the prognostic factors related may help improve surgical interventions.

Objective:To lay background for studying rejection mechanisms in xenotransplantation, class II DQA genes of swine leukocyte antigens (SLA) of three Chinese pig strains GXP, GZP and YNP were cloned and sequenced.Methods:RT-PCR was performed to proliferate SLA-DQA genes (GXPDQA, GZPDQA and YNPDQA),which were cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector for sequencing and analysis.Results:All three allelic sequences examined, are not identical to those reported, which allows the sequences receiving their accession numbers from GenBank as AY102473, AY102474 and AY102475, which encompass an open reading frame of 765, 768 and 768 nucleotides respectively.Conclusion:Three new alleles of SLA-DQA genes were obtained. Analysis of the amino acid sequences of swine, human and mouse DQA (or equivalent) also indicated that GXPDQA, GZPDQA and YNPDQA were more similar to human DQA than mouse H-2-A?, which might provide an understanding of how the immune system evolved.

Objective: To investigate the effects of lycopene on T lymphocyte subpopulations and pulmonary alveolar macrophagic (PAM) functions in rats with acute lung injury (ALI). Methods: Rats were randomly divided into the following groups. (1) Control group, (2) ALI model group, (3) Low dose group, (4) Mid dose group and (5) High dose group. Control group and ALI model group were treated with solvent of lycopene, and the other groups were gastrically incubated with lycopene. Thirty-five days later, control group were given physiological saline, ALI model group and lycopene administrated groups were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (6.0 mg/kg) to induce ALI. One hour, four hours or six hours after LPS or physiological saline challenged, abdominal aorta blood for measuring lymphocyte subpopulations and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for measuring function of PAM were gathered respectively. Results: (1) At h 1, the percentages of CD3+,CD4+ and CD8+ of lycopene administrated groups compared with control group were not significantly different. At h 4, the percentage of CD4+ was similar to that at h 1. As for the percentages of CD3+, except high dose group [(28.8?9.9)%] was significantly lower, low dose, mid dose and ALI model group showed no significant difference compared with control group[(39.5?4.5)%]. The percentages of CD8+ of ALI model and lycopene administrated rats, separately (10.2?3.9)%,(10.3?2.8)%,(9.8?2.8)%,(10.1?3.5)%, had been significantly reduced compared with control group[(15.1?2.5)%]; between ALI model and lycopene ad-ministrated groups there was no significant difference. The instance at h 6 was the same as that at h 4. The percentage ratios of CD4+ T-lymphocyte to CD8+ T-lymphocyte of ALI model rats were not significantly different compared with control group or lycopene administrated groups at h 1 and h 6. At h 4, the ratio of the CD4 + and CD8 + in Low dose and Mid dose groups had significant difference and ALI model, high dose hadn’t when they were compared with control group. (2) Lycopene increased the phagocytic function of PAMs significantly at h 1(P
