Objective To investigate the relationship between leprosy and some correlative immunomolecules in peripheral blood.Methods lymphocytes from peripheral blood in 16 leprosy patients in different periods were immunologically labeled by monoclonal antibodies from mouse CD 3/CD 4/CD 8,CD 3/CD (16+56) (NK) and CD 3/HLA-DR were determined by using flow cytometry(FCM).Results The levels of CD 3 +/CD 4 +,CD 3 +/HLA-DR and CD 4/CD 8 ratio in active period were lower in 16 patients than those of normal group,while CD 3 +/CD (16+56) +,CD 3 +/HLA-DR + were higher,NK was in the normal range.In stable period 2～4 week after treatment CD 3 +/CD 4 +,CD 3/HLA-DR - and CD 4/CD 8 were gradually increased,CD 3 +/CD (16+56) +,CD 3 +/CD 8 + and CD 3 +/HLA-DR + were increased slightly or no change ,and NK was increased slightly in 13 cases in unstable period.In other 3 case,CD 3 +/CD 4 +,CD 3 +/HLA-DR and CD 4/CD 8 were decreased than that in stable period,while the CD 3 +/CD (16+56) +,CD 3 +/HLA-DR + and NK were double increased than that in stable period.Conclusions Dynamic determination of associated immunlogical molecules in peripheral blood of leprosy patients is helpful to evaluate the change of illness state,it also play an important role in the treatmant of the disease.

Objective To probe into the angiographic signs and the variations of bronchial arteries for pulmonary tuberculosis or bronchiectasis with massive hemoptysis.Methods 25 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 15 patients suffered from bronchiectasis accompanied by massive hemoptysis were undertaken bronchial arterial embolization(BAE).All patients were embolized with gelfoam including 32 with spring coils in addition. Results 63 arteries demonstrated angiographic signs of hemoptysis in 40 patients.The immediate stanching rate was 92.5%(37/40). The bronchopulmonary shunt formation sign shown by angiograph was the major feature of tuberculosis(P=(0.0528)) and the enlarged tortuous arteries in bronchiectasis were more to be demonstrated than in tuberculosis(P

Objective To detect the antibodies of streptococcal C5a peptidase from group B streptococcus(SCPB)in neonates,demonstrate the existence of SCPB antibody in pregnant women after natural group B streptococcus(GBS)infection,and provide clinical evidence for prevention of GBS infection. Methods Sera were collected from 107 neonates(80 term infants and 27 premature infant)between February 2007 and December 2007. The antibodies of SCPB were detected using ELISA method,and cultures of GBS were done simultaneously. Results 21(19.6%)newborns were found to be SCPB antibody positive(including 20 term infants and 1 premature infant),the difference of positive ratio between term and premature infant was significant(25% and 3.7%,respectively). Conclusions This study indicated that pregnant women could produce SCPB antibody by immune response,and transmitted it to the infants through the placenta. Further study is needed to clarify the effect of SCPB antibody in expectant mother and newborn with GBS infection.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of shen-fu injection on toxic reaction relief in the chemotherapy for moderate to advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).METHODS:130 patients of NSCLC were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,2 groups both received the second-generation regimen for chemotherapy,the major chemotherapeutic agents included vinorelbine,gemcitabine and paclitaxel,the treatment group was given intravenous shen-fu injection 60ml/d for continuous2weeks plus chemotherapy.RESULTS:The toxic reactions in treatment group significantly decreased compared to that in the control group(P

Background and purpose:As the development of the completion of the human genome project (HGP), the research focus is turning to the gene function research. At present, the domestic experimental research on the apoptosis of K562 cells induced by antisense olignonucleotides is rare. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of human chronic myelogenou leukemia (CML) bcr-abl fusion gene antisense oligonucletides on autophagy and apoptosis of CMLK562 cells in vitro. Methods:By liposome as the carrier, K562 cells were transfected with the bcr-abl gene antisense olignonucleotides. Hoechst staining method was used to observe the apoptosis inducing effect of different concentrations of oligonucleotides, the expressions of LC3-Ⅱ, autophagy-related protein, were determined by the Western blot method, the cell cycles were determined by lfow cytometry (FCM), and JEM-4000EX electron microscope technology was used to detect the apoptosis morphological changes. The apoptosis was detected by DNA agarose gel electrophoresis. Results:Hoechst staining results showed that the bcr-abl gene antisense oligonucletides signiifcantly promoted the apoptosis of K562 cells in a certain concentration dependent manner. Western blot showed that the expression level of LC3-Ⅱwas obviously higher in bcr-abl gene antisense oligonucletides transfected group than the control group, showing a promoting effect on cell autophagy. FCM test results showed that bcr-abl gene antisense oligonucleotides transfected K562 cells showed obvious cell cycle arrest, visible obvious apoptosis morphology under the electron microscope, and DNA Ladder showed obvious apoptosis fragments. Conclusion:The bcr-abl gene antisense olignonucleotides can signiifcantly induce the cell apoptosis of K562. This study provides a new method for CML therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of Survivin in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and laryngeal papilloma in adults and its significance in carcinogenesis and development of the LSCC. METHOD: The expressions of Survivin protein were detected by immunohistochemistry technique in 46 cases of LSCC, 24 cases of adjacent nontumorous laryngeal epithelium, 20 cases of laryngeal papilloma and 16 cases of normal laryngeal epithelium. RESULT: The positive rates of Survivin protein expression in laryngeal carcinoma, adjacent nontumorous laryngeal epithelium and laryngeal papilloma were 71.74% (33/46), 33.33% (8/24)and 40.00% (8/20) respectively. There was no expression in normal laryngeal epithelium. The positive rate of Survivin protein expression in laryngeal carcinoma was significantly higher than that in the adjacent nontumorous laryngeal epithelium, laryngeal papilloma and normal laryngeal epithelium. But there was no statistically significant correlations between Survivin protein expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of tumor site, T-stage, pathological grading, UICC-stage and lymph node metastasis (P > 0.05). Expression of Survivin protein in 3 cases in laryngeal papilloma group which turned into laryngeal carcinoma later were all positive. CONCLUSION There was overexpression of Survivin in the laryngeal carcinoma. The expression of Survivin might play an important role in the carcinogenesis of LSCC and might be an early event during laryngeal carcinogenesis. It could be a diagnostic marker for evaluating the malignant potential of laryngeal papilloma in adults.
