Objective To explore the influence of IL-2 pretreatment on splenic lymphocyte following mobilization with G-CSF, which may provide a new approach to attenuate acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Methods Splenic cells and na(i)ve CD4+T cells from C57BL/6N mice receiving G-CSF-mobilized were pretreated with IL-2(50 U/ml) , and cocultured with the allogeneic antigens from BALB/c mice. The proliferation responses and the polarization of T cells were determined. C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: G-CSF + IL-2 group, G-CSF group, IL-2 group , control group. Results Compared with the control group, IL-4 increased obviously while IFN-γ decreased significantly in the group of G-CSF + IL-2. The proliferation responses were also suppressed in vitro. Conclusion The proliferation responses of splenic cells and naive CD4 + T cells from C57BI/6N mice receiving G-CSF-mobilized to the allogeneic antigens were significantly abrogated by the pretreatment with IL-2, T cells were polarized toward the production of type-2 cytokines. The combination of G-CSF and IL-2 is potentially synergetic in the induction of T lymphocyte immune tolerance.

Objective Overexpressing gax gene in vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) mediated by adenovirus transfection.Methods Replication defective adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) vector encoding the rat gax gene (AdCMV gax) was constructed via site specific recombination and amplified in 293 cells. The resulting adenovirus was purified for a high viral titer. The expression of gax mRNA and protein was evaluated by a series of methods such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR), flow cytometry and immunocytochemical technique after gax gene was transferred to VSMCs. Results When AdCMV gax was transfected to VSMCs, the expression of gax protein increased significantly in VSMCs, and reached 80% in 24 hours. High expression of gax protein could keep for over 5 days. Before AdCMV gax was transfected to VSMCs, gax mRNA and protein could be down regulated by platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) BB. After AdCMV gax was transfected to VSMCs, the level of gax expression was significantly higher than that before transfection, and no correlation with the stimulation of PDGF BB.Conclusions gax gene can be transfected to VSMC by AdCMV gax and translated to protein, which is advantageous to exploring the effects of gax gene on biological behaviour of VSMC.

Objective To study the complications and their management of plasmakinetic transurethral resection of the prostate (PKRP). Methods Complications and their management of 51 cases of PKRP from May 2003 to June 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Complications of the procedure were as follows. Bladder spasms occurred in 27 cases (accompanying hemorrhage in 2 cases and urge incontinence in 6 cases), and the symptoms disappeared after patient-controlled intravenous analgesia and M-receptor blocker (tolterodine). Postoperative bleeding occurred in 6 cases. Continuous irrigation with normal saline and medical therapy were given in 3 cases, and open surgery was required in 3 cases with severe bleeding. All bleeding patients obtained a full recovery of voiding function without re-bleeding. Urge incontinence occurred in 13 cases, and was cured with functional exercises of pelvic floor muscles and M-receptor blocker (tolterodine) administration. Stress incontinence was observed in 1 case, and a penile clamp had been used to control incontinence. Among 7 cases of urinary retention after operation, a re-operation of PKRP was conducted in 2 cases and oral medication was carried out in 5. The voiding function recovered well in all the 7 cases. In 5 cases of urethral stricture, urethral dilatation was employed in 3 cases and urethrotomy was performed in 2 cases to obtain a good recovery of voiding function. Conclusions Bladder spasm, postoperative bleeding, incontinence, urinary retention, and urethral stricture are common complications of PKRP. Strict adherence to technique and timely and proper management of complications are considered essential to improve results.

Objective To evaluate the level of granzyme B mRNA and perforin mRNA in urine on the diagnosis of renal acute rejection. Methods A total of 34 cases of renal transplantation were studied.The urine samples were measured with the use of a competitive and quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction assay for granzyme B mRNA and perforin mRNA and the data were analysed by using the SPLM statistical software,mRNA levels were log-transformed. Results The levels of granzyme B mRNA and perforin mRNA in urine were higher in patients with acute rejection than in patients without acute rejection.The level of perforin mRNA in patients with acute rejection was (1.2?0.4)fg/?g of total RNA and in patients without acute rejection was (-0.6?0.3)fg/?g of total RNA (P

Objective:To develop the uniformity models for felodipine sustalned-release tablets from 3 manufacturers by NIRS in order to study the difference in the preparation technology and detect and screen the tablets quickly by the robust, accurate and repre-sentative models. Methods:The uniformity models for the tablets from 3 manufacturers among 6 manufacturers with evaluative casual inspection were established by NIRS. Region 4 000-9 000 cm-1 was chosen as the modeling section, and the first derivative plus vector normalization was used as the preprocessing method. Results:The uniformity models for the tablets from the three manufacturers was established and used to predict the samplings from the six manufacturers. The prediction success rate was 100%. Conclusion: NIRS can be used to identify felodipine sustalned-release tablets from different manufacturers quickly and study the preparation technology.

Objective To guide new nurses to establish positive and correct occupational self-concept, enhance occupational identity and delay job burnout by adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses. Methods Randomly selected 56 new nurses of our hospital in recent years as research objects. 28 nurses enrolled in 2013 formed the experimental group and 28 nurses enrolled in 2014 formed the control group. The experimental group focused on nurses themselves. In the 10-month standardized training, 30 class-hour traditional culture education was added and more than 180 times of social practices were conducted; for the control group, only standardized training was carried out. Effects before and after, all subjects were examined occupational self-concept and desert jobs rate after work 2 years. Results The occupational self-concept of the experimental group tended to reach a positive level, which was (33.14±2.15) points, obviously higher than that of the control group, which was only (30.57 ± 3.03) points. Therefore, the difference was statistically significant(t=3.703 4,P<0.01). In terms of dimensions of comprehensive self- concept, employee relationships and communication ability were (4.92 ± 0.50), (6.34 ± 0.54), (5.87 ± 0.44) points in the experimental group and (4.40 ± 0.63), (5.89 ± 0.77),(5.55 ± 0.64) points in the control group, the experimental group had significant improvements (t=3.458 1, 2.561 9, 2.206 4, P<0.01). Comparing the separation rates of the two groups after two years, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions Adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses plays a positive role in promoting their occupational self-concept.

Objective To establish a real-time quantitative reverse-transcription PCR ( qRT-PCR) method for detection of hepatitis E virus ( HEV) of different genotypes based on standard HEV DNA plasmid in order to promote its application in clinical laboratory. Methods Specific primers and probe of HEV were designed based on the conserved open reading frame 3 (ORF3) regions. HEV DNA plasmids were construc-ted and 10-fold serial dilutions of the plasmids were prepared and used as standards to establish one-step qRT-PCR. The established method was compared with HEV antigen, antibody and RT-nPCR assays. Some positive samples were sequenced and analyzed by evolutionary tree. Results The one-step qRT-PCR meth-od for HEV detection in serum or feces samples was successfully establish. It could reach a sensitivity of 25 copies/test and 77. 8% of its results were consistent with those by HEV antigen assay. Nine patients were infected with HEV of genotypes 4a, 4d or 4n as indicated by evolutionary tree. Conclusion The HEV qRT-PCR method based on its standard plasmid is successfully established, which paves the way for commercial-ization of clinical applications.
