Objective To establish a stable and reliable model of brain death in swine, and to provide a more stable model for investigating pathomorphology in brain tissue and for studying transplantation immunology during brain death. Methods Base on the classic methodology of increasing epidural intracranial pressure, Codman intracranial pressure moni-toring probes were implanted in landrace pigs invasively. According to the relationship between ICP and MAP, brain death models were established by increasing intracranial pressure slowly and intermittently, with real-time monitoring of the intra-cranial pressure. Results Among twelve experimental landrace pigs, one died from anesthetic accident, while the rest elev-en were successfully established as brain death models. With effective respiratory and circulatory support, those brain death models can be maintained for (31.3 ± 4.7) h. Brain death model establishement is a stable and reliable process demonstrated by transcranial Doppler, EEG, ECG, mean arterial blood pressure and other monitoring methods. After brain death is con-firmed, animal models can be maintained for a long time. Conclusion Our methodology of inducing brain death model un-der ICP monitoring is stable and easy to be standardized. It can also provide a more stable model for studying brain tissue pathomorphology and transplantation immunology.

Objective To investigate the frequency and mutational status of JAK2V617F mutation in Chinese patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders(CMPD) and to study the relative quantification of mutated JAK2 mRNA and the clinical significance. Methods JAK2V617F mutation and the mutational status were screened with amplification-refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction(ARMS-PCR), the relative quantification of mutated JAK2 mRNA was studied by using capillary electrophoresis. Results A higher prevalence of JAK2V617F in either the heterozygotc or homozyote status in essential thrombocythemia (ET) was observed in elderly patients with ET (P<0.05). The presence of JAK2V617F was found to be significantly correlated with the age at diagnosis (P<0.05); patients with age ≥ 60 years showed significantly higher JAK2 mutated RNA levels than those with age < 60 years (P<0.05); the presence of JAK2V617F in polycythemia vera (PV) and ET was found to be significantly associated with higher hemoglobin level and higher leukocyte count (P< 0.05). In addition, higher leukocyte count was observed in homozygous ET patients than in heterozygous ET patients (P<0.05). The frequency of JAK2V617F mutation and the prevalence of homozygote in PV patients were higher than those in ET patients (P<0.05). The differences of JAK2V617F mRNA levels among PV, ET and chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) were not significant. Conclusions ARMS-PCR technique can be used to detect the frequency and mutational status of JAK2V617F mutation owing to its sensitivity and along with capillary electrophoresis, quantitative assay for mutated JAK2 mRNA, diagnosis of CMPD and judgement of prognosis become possible.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between HLA-DRB1 alleles and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in children.
METHODSPCR-SSO was used to identify DRB1 alleles of 42 children with ITP. Among them, anti-GPIIb/IIIa and anti-GPIb/IX autoantibody were detected in 36 cases by modified monoclonal antibody specific immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA).
RESULTS(1) Compared with healthy controls, HLA-DRB1 * 17 was significantly increased (relative risk = 2.76, P < 0.05, etiologic factor = 0.106 4) and HLA-DRB1 * 1202 decreased (relative risk = 0.20, P < 0.025, prophylactic factor = 0.761 6) in children with ITP. (2) In comparison with patients with good response to steroids and IgG therapy, HLA-DRB1 * 11 was significantly increased (P < 0.025) in patients with a poor response, furthermore, most (5/6) of HLA-DRB1 * 11-positive patients were female teen-ager. (3) Twenty-seven patients (75%) had anti-GPIIb/IIIa and seventeen (47.22%) had anti-GPIb/IX autoantibodies, the positivity rates of both anti-GPIIb/IIIa (P = 0.02) and anti-GPIb/IX (P = 0.01) were associated with HLA-DRB1 * 02. However, the pos./itivity rates of autoantibodies between refractory and non-refractory patients showed no significant difference.
CONCLUSION(1) The DRB1 * 17 seems to predict susceptibility to ITP in children, while DRB1 * 1202 appears to be protective to against ITP. (2) The DRB1 * 11 plays an important role in resistance to steroid and IgG therapy in children with ITP. (3) It seems that the response to the antigenic epitope of GPIIb/IIIa and GPIb/IX is restricted by DRB1 * 02, while the presence of the autoantibodies couldn't predict prognosis. Our preliminary findings indicate that genetic factors influence the clinical course of ITP, but its exact mechanism needs to be further investigated.
