Objective To study the effects of exogenous double-stranded DNA antigen on the immunophenotypic changes of dendritic cells (DCs) derived from stem cells in mouse bone marrow. Methods LinCD117 (c-kit)+ hemopoietic stem cells were obtained from the bone marrow of C57 mice by magnetic affinity cell sorting. Some cytokines, including granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-4, tumor necrosis factor-α and so on, were used to enhance the proliferation or differentiation of stem cells to obtain mature, semimature and immature DCs. The double stranded DNA of kinetoplast (kDNA) was isolated from Trypanosoma equiperdum, and added to the culture media to pulse DCs. The immunophenotypic and morphologic features of DCs were analyzed by using flow cytometry and laser confocal microscopy respectively. Results The expression rates of CD117 and CD11c in DCs showed no significant changes after kDNA pulse compared with those before the pulse. In unpulsed immature, semi-mature and mature DCs, the expression rate was 11.42% ± 2.56%, 27.08% ± 5.29% and 44.63% ± 10.37% for MHC Ⅱ, 8.54% ± 2.01%, 31.35% ± 6.40% and52.96% ± 10.34% for CD80, 10.22% ± 3.47%, 32.15% ± 6.83% and 64.72% ± 9.68% for CD86, respectively.After pulse with the kDNA antigen, the expression rate increased by 15.63%, 9.66% and 4.12% (t = 6.21,4.35, 2.82, P < 0.05) for MHC Ⅱ, by 9.63%, 7.09% and 4.09% for CD80, by 13.16%, 9.75% and 3.10% for CD86, respectively in immature, semi-mature and mature DCs, respectively. The increase of expression rate of these membrane antigens in decreasing order was observed in immature DCs, semi-mature DCs and mature DCs. Conclusions The exogenous DNA antigen could enhance the maturation of bone marrow-derived DCs,likely by upregulating the expression of certain immunophenotypic membrane proteins, and the lower the maturity degree, the more liable the DCs to be affected by the antigen.

OBJECTIVE:To study the difference between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic fluoroquinolones(FQNLs)in?ducing resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(Kpn)in vitro.METHODS:Hydrophilic ciprofloxacin(CIP)and hydrophobic sparfloxacin(SPFX)were used to induce FQNLs resistant mutants from a clinical susceptible isolate Kpn909with stepwise selection method,respectively,The susceptivity of bacteria to was determined by the standard method of two fold agar dilu?tion.RESULTS:The resistance of Kpn909to FQNLs was raised up gradually as FQNLs'concentration increased;Minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs)of Kpn9098Selected by CIP at2?MIC(0.5mg/L)were16～32times higher than that of Kpn909,and showed resistant to ofloxacin(OFX),lomefloxacin(LMFX)and enofloxacin(ENX)with a MIC of8mg/L,16mg/L and8mg/L.Otherwise,SPFX-selected Kpn with a similar resistant level occurred at the concentration of8?MIC(1mg/L).The maximal selecting concentration of CIP and SPFX were128mg/L and64mg/L,and MIC of5FQNLs to the resistant mutants obtained at which were≥256mg/L and32～128mg/L,respectively.CONCLUSION:Both hydrophilic CIP and hydrophobic SPFX could induce Kpn the cross resistance to others FQNLs,but hydrophobic FQNLs may be superior to hydrophilic FQNLs to delay the resistance occurrence in Kpn.

BACKGROUND:As a novel noninvasive method, high frequency ultrasound has been used for the detection of skeletal muscle widely. OBJECTIVE:To detect the thickness of the dorsalLisfrancligament between the first (medial) cuneiform (C1) and second metatarsal (M2) using high frequency ultrasound to evaluate the feasibility and clinical application value of high frequency ultrasound for the detection of theLisfrancjoint. METHODS:Both feet of 100 healthy volunteers were included and the thickness of dorsalLisfranc ligament and the distance between C1 and M2wereexamined using high frequency ultrasound. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The display rate of high frequency ultrasound for the dorsalLisfranc ligament in the 100 healthy volunteers was 100%. There was no significant difference in the thickness of the dorsalLisfrancligament between both feet or sexes in adults(P> 0.05); as did the distance between C1 and M2 (P> 0.05). These findings suggest that visual dorsalLisfrancligament is detected by high frequency ultrasound. The measurement of the distance between C1 and M2by high frequency ultrasound may be a feasible, noninvasive, low-cost, and early diagnostic method forLisfrancinjuries.

Objective To investigate the effect of high-flux hemodialysis (HFHD) on advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods 40 MHD patients (MHD group),50 non-dialytic chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (CKD group) and 31 healthy subjects undergoing health examination survey received AOPPs detection.After lowflux hemodialysis (LFHD) for 3 months,HFHD was performed in MHD group for 3 months.Plasma AOPPs and other biochemical indicators were tested at the end of 0,3 and 6 months.AOPPs levels were detected in HFHD and LFHD dialysates.Results Plasma AOPPs level was higher in MHD group than in CKD and control groups,and plasma AOPPs level was higher in CKD group than in control group.Compared with before LFHD in MHD group,AOPPs and triglyceride (TG) levels had no significant differences after LFHD for 3 months(t=0.831,-0.191,both P＞0.05),while plasma cholesterol (CHO) and β2 MG levels were increased in MHD group after LFHD for 3 months(t＝-2.697,10.39,P＜0.05 or 0.001).There were significant differences in plasma AOPPs,TG,β2-MG and CHO levels before versus after HFHD for 3 months (t=4.292,2.271,8.297 and 2.295,P ＜0.001 or 0.05).No AOPPs were detected in HFHD and LFHD dialysates.Conclusions Plasma AOPPs levels are increased in CKD patients.LFHD can not effectively eliminate AOPPs,while long term HFHD can decrease the plasma levels of AOPPs,TG and CHO,and reduce β2-MG accumulation.

Objective To survey the antimicrobial resistance of nosocomial Klebsiella Pneumoniae (Kpn) isolates. Methods All the 68 Kpn strains were isolated and collected from nosocomial infections during April 2002 to March 2003. The susceptivity of bacteria and the production of extended spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) were determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test and phenotypic confirmatory testing, respectively. Results All 68 Kpn strains were 100% susceptible to Menopenem and Imipenem but resistant to 14 other antimicrobials to different degrees. The first five drugs of high resistant rate were ampicillin (100%), amoxycillin/clavulanic acid (79.4%), sulphamethoxazole/trimothoprim (67.6%), cefotaxime (58.8%), gentamycin (47.0%). There were 28 isolates producing ESBLs (41.2%), which showed much higher resistance to ?-lactam, aminoglycosides, quinolones and sulphamethoxazole/trimothoprim than the non-ESBLs-producing strains. Conclusion Nosocomial Kpn isolates were most multidrug resistant, of which ESBLs-producing strains showed a higher resistance and which may involve other resistant mechanisms.

Objective To determine the expression of CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ regulatory T cells(Treg cells) in peripheral blood of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and investigate the clinical significance of Treg cells determination in clinical practice. Methods Flow cytometry was employed to measure the levels of CD4+ CD25+ T cells and CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T cells in peripheral blood of 18 HCC patients, 26 hospitalized patients without HCC (clinical control) as well as 24 healthy persons (healthy control). Results The percentage of CD4+ CD25+ T cells in total CD4+T cells isolated from the HCC patients(4.25% ± 3.98 % ) was elevated significantly compared to that in the clinical control group (1.34% ± 1.14%) or healthy control group (1.29% ±0.95%) (both P＜0.01). There was no difference in the percentage between the clinical control group and the healthy control group (P＞0.05). Meanwhile, the ratio between CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T cells and CD4+ T cells in HCC patients (2.94%0.91%) also increased significantly compared to that in the clinical control group (0.76% ± 0.34%) or healthy control group (0.81% ± 0.29%) ( both P＜0. 001), which showed a more obvious increasing tendency than the ratio of CD4+ CD25+ T cells and CD4+ T cells. No difference in percentage of CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T cells in CD4+ T cells was found between the clinical control group and the healthy control group (P＞0.05). Conclusion As the more accurate regulatory T cells, CD4+ CD25+ FOXP3+ T cells are able to detect the increase of population in HCC patients. Therefore, it is important to determine the levels of CD4+ CD25+FOXP3+ T cells in HCC patients for prevention and treatment of malignancy.
