The motive observation between sPLA2 activity and LPA level was done.At the same time, The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer were analyzed.Results Comparing the original ovarian cancer group with the ovarian benign tumor group, the difference between sPLA2 activity (24.47 ?5.64 U/L,4.94 ?1.86 U/L) and LPA levelc(6.35 ?2.32 ?mol/L,1.92 ?0.75 ?mol/L) were significantly (P

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the factors in the causation of cefradine-induced hematuria.METHODS:The material in CHINESE BIBLIOGRAPHIC DATA BASE OF BIOLOGY & MEDICINE(from 1980 to February 2001)and PHARMACEUTICAL ABSTRACTS(1990～2000)was reviewed and the data were analysed on patients'age and sex,route of drug administration,beginning of hematuria,prognosis and time of recovery.RESULTS:18 reports on cefradine-induced hematuria(108 cases) were found,which indicated that hematuria was mainly associated with renal hypoplasia in childhood and intravenous administration of cefradine.CONCLUSION:Intravenous administration of cefradine in children should be very careful.

Objective:To evaluate the role of IL-23 in the production of IFN-?, cell subsets and regulation by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs).Methods:PBMCs were isolated from normal human peripheral blood and cultured with IL-23 in different culture conditions. The level of IFN-? in the culture supernatants was examined by ELISA. The subsets and frequency of IFN-?-producing cells were examined at a single cell level by flow cytometry.Results:IL-23 could directly induce IFN-? production by PBMCs and have synergistic effect with IL-2 on the induction of IFN-? production in a dose dependent manner. The data from Flow cytometric analysis indicated that IL-23 could induce IFN-? expression by CD3~-CD56~+NK cells but not CD3~+CD4~+ and CD8~+T cells. It is noted that IL-23 predominantly induced IFN-? expression by NK cells with high expression of CD56 molecules. Addition of Th2 cytokines or anti-IL-12R?1 mAbs resulted in the inhibition of IL-23-inducing IFN-? production.Conclusion:IL-23 can directly induce IFN-? production by PBMCs. The induction of IFN-? induced by IL-23 can be suppressed by Th2 cytokines and anti-IL-12R?1 mAbs. The data indicated that Th2 cytokines and anti-IL-12R?1 mAbs might have the potential application for the treatment of IL-23-mediated autoimmune diseases.
