Although adhesion molecules have long been recognized to be differentially expressed on naive and effector/memory T cells,it has recently been found that a number of chemokine receptors are also differentially expressed on T cells,depending on their Ag experience and type of polarization. Recent data suggests that chemokines and their receptors are essential elements that regulate the positioning of T cells and their partners for priming and T helper 1 (Th1)- or Th2-mediated responses,therefore,are probably the most promising targets for treating immune diseases.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the possibility of multi-unit ribozymes to purge bone marrow of chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML), its in vitro cleavage ability and the reversal effect on CML cell's malignant phenotype.
METHODSAs bcr-abl fusion gene plays an important role in CML pathology, three single-unit ribozymes were designed and synthesized in 44 base pairs near the fusion point, two enzyme cleavage sites on bcr gene and one on abl gene. Multi-unit ribozymes' in vitro transcription and retroviral vector through gene recombination were constructed. Then, its in vitro cleavage ability was tested and the retroviral vector was transfected into K562 cell. Through MTT assay, the incorporation rate of (3)H-TdR, RT-PCR, Southern and Northern blot hybridization, flow cytometry, transmission and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the effect of multi-unit ribozymes on CML cell proliferation, cell structure, cell cycle and the induction of apoptosis.
RESULTSMulti-unit ribozymes had in vitro cleavage efficiency of 70.8%. After the transfection of multi-unit ribozymes retroviral vector into K562 cell, cell proliferation and DNA synthesis were greatly reduced with an inhibition rate of about 50% after 96 hours of transfection. Multi-unit ribozymes could cleave K562 cell's RNA with a reduction rate about one 1 000 th of the original. By flow cytometry (FCM), 18.4% cells underwent apoptosis after 72 hours transfection with most of the cells blocked in the G phase. Here, the ratio in S phase was lowered by 41.9%. Under transmission and scanning electron microscope, compaction of nuclear chromation and apoptosis bodies were observed in the transfected cells.
CONCLUSIONMulti-unit ribozymes possess high cleavage ability in vitro. The ribozymes, whose retroviral vector being transfected into CML cell, are able to express a lasting ability to cleave the fusion gene, induce apoptosis, reduce cell proliferation, revert the malignant phenotype. It is possible to make use of multi-unit ribozymes to purge CML bone marrow. Therefore, multi-unit ribozymes may very well be valuable in the gene therapy of CML.

Objective To compare the positioning accuracy between personalized polyurethane foam with wing boards and negative pressure vacuum bag in radiotherapy for lung cancer using kilovoltage cone beam computed tomography(CBCT). Methods Thirty-nine patients with lung cancer who received chest radiotherapy in our hospital from 2015 to 2016 were enrolled as subjects. In those patients, 20 were immobilized by negative pressure vacuum bags(VB group)and the others by personalized polyurethane foam with wing boards(PF group).CBCT images were acquired weekly and registered with planning CT images. Setup errors in the left-right, superior-inferior, and anterior-posterior directions, three-dimensional(3D) displacement vector,and setup time were recorded. The margin of the planning target volume(PTV)was calculated using the Van Herk formula(2.5∑+0.7σ). Between-group comparison was made by paired t test. Results The PF group had a significant smaller setup error in the y-direction than the VB group (2.54±1.79 vs.3.19±2.14 mm,P=0.03),while there were no significant differences in setup errors in the x-or z-direction between the two groups(1.80± 1.48 vs. 1.90± 1.41 mm, P=0.46;2.14± 1.75 vs. 2.25± 1.75 mm,P=0.35). There were no significant differences in rotational setup errors in the Rx-,Ry-,or Rz-direction between the two groups(1.15°±0.76°vs. 1.15°±0.85°, P=0.50;0.71°±0.60°vs. 0.72°±0.43°, P=0.45;0.62°±0.54° vs. 0.46°±0.30°,P=0.06). The PTV margins in the x?,y?,and z?directions were expanded by 5.56, 8.57, and 7.02 mm, respectively, in the PF group, and by 5.62, 9.27, and 7.23 mm,respectively,in the VB group. The proportion of patients with 3D displacement vectors larger than 5 mm was 40% in the PF group and 45% in the VB group.Conclusions For patients undergoing radiotherapy for lung cancer,personalized polyurethane foam with wing boards can,to a certain extent,reduce the setup error in the superior-inferior direction and PTV margin expansion.[Key words] Lung neoplasms/radiotherapy; Polyurethane foam; Vacuum bag; Setup errors;Margin
