Objective To explore the inhibitory effects of He Ne laser repeated irradiation on the collagen synthesis of cultured scar fibroblasts. Method Cultured fibroblasts derived from hypertrophic scars(HS) were irradiated with He Ne laser for 30 minutes at various power densities(10,50,100 and 150 mW/cm2),once a day for 3 consecutive days.In 24 hours after repeated irradiation collagen production and type I procollagen mRNA level of fibroblasts were measured with the incorporation of 3H proline and blot hybridization techniques espectively.Results Collagen synthesis and type I procollagen mRNA level remained unchanged when the laser was irradiated at the power density of 10 mW/cm2 or 50 mW/cm2.Compared with control,collagen synthesis and type I procollagne mRNA level were significantly decreases at the power density of 100 mW/cm2 or 150mW/cm2(P< 0.05).Type I procollagen mRNA level at the power densityof 150 mW/cm2 was lower than that at the 100 mW/cm2 (P< 0.05).Conclusion Repeated He Ne laser irradiation at the power density of 100 mW/cm2 or 150 mW/cm2 can suppress collagen synthesis of cultured fibroblasts in HS.The cause of suppression may be associated with down regulation of type I procollagen mRNA expression.

regulatory T cell(Treg)is a subset of immunosuppressive Th cell lines with ability to sup-press anti-tumor immunity. Tregs are recruited into local tumor microenvironment by tumor-released chemokine CCL22. Tregs induce Th2-type immune responses which contribute the host ignorance and tolerance to tumor cells via releasing of immunosuppressive cytokines and immunosuppressive receptors. Accumulating evidences indicate that inhibiting Treg can break immune tolerance,and subsequently inhibit the growth and progress of cancer. These discoveries and exploration of Treg provide us a new therapeutic target and strategy with promising clinic application.

Objective To study the immuno-regulatory roles of antibiotics and their implication for pulmonary fibrosis.Methods The regulatory roles of antibiotics on the phenotypes of dendrite cells(DCs) and maturation of B lymphocytes in vitro were detected with flow cytometry.The roles of nystatin on pulmonary fibrosis in vivo were determined with bleomycin-induced acute injury model of mouse.Results Multiple antibiotics including nystatin apparently promoted the maturation of DCs and B cells,as well as subsequently promoted the polarization of Th2 cells through DCs.In addition,nystatin intensified bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.Conclusion Multiple antibiotics including nystatin induce suppressive immune responses and might aggravate pulmonary fibrosis like nystatin.

Objective:To express recombination human interleukin-13(rhIL-13)in methylotropic yeast Kchia pastoris and study its effect on the induction of DC from PBMC in vitro. Methods: An artificial gene with the optional condon usage of Kchia pastoris for IL-13 was designed and synthesized by T4 DNA ligase and PCR.The expression vector pPICZoA-IL-13 was constracted and introduced in Kchia pastoris GS115 by electroporation after linearized with Sacl.Recombinants were selected by plating cells on YPD/Zeocine plates.The recombinant protein secreted by the yeast was identified by 15%SDS-PAGE,ELISA and Western blot.The abilities to induce DC differentiation of IL-13 and IL-4 were compared. Results: Based on the result of the 15% SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay, an about 13 kD recommbinant protein expressed in the yeast supernatant was identified to be recombinant human IL-13. Adherent PBMC cultured in GM-CSF,TNFa and IL-13 displayed morphological characteristic of DC generated in media containing IL-4. They formed cellular clumps and had extensive dendrites sharp. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis showed that they expressed a high level of MHC class II ,CDla,CD80,CD83,CD86. The purity and yield of both DC populations are not significantly different with IL-13 or IL-4. The phagocytosis of immature DC induced by IL-13 is potent. They were also equally potent stimulators of allogeneic lymphocytes in the mixed lymphocyte reaction. Conclusion: rhIL-13 can substitute for IL-4 in the proliferation and development of dendritic cells.

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are critical effectors which play important roles both in anti-tumor and anti-virus immune responses.Through T cell receptors(TCRs),CTLs can specifically recognize MHC- Ⅰ -peptides complexes presented on the surface of target cells,and then release biological substances such as perforin and granzymes into the target cells and dissolve them.Since the significant potential value of CTLs,more and more people are focusing on its basic and appliedstudies.Most researches are about the transformation of the TCR gene.With the development of molecular biology,cloning and transduction of TCR gene have been more mature.Researchers are finding ways to ensure that TCR gene expresses efficiently and assemble correctly.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of accurate airway humidification on hemorrhage, pharyngalgia, mucosal edema and sputum viscosity in patients with low-temperature plasma coblation-assisted tonsillectomy.METHODS58 cases were divided into three groups by using random numbers.In accurate airway humidification group, atomizing inhalation was carried out by AIRVOTM series apparatus; in oxygen atomizing group, budesonide suspension was used; in control group, saline was used. We evaluated the hemorrhage, pharyngalgia, mucosal edema and sputum viscosity in 3 consecutive postoperative days.RESULTSPharyngalgia in accurate airway humidification group and in oxygen atomizing group were both significantly reduced than that of the control group (P<0.001). Besides, in accurate airway humidification group, mucosal edema and sputum viscosity were significantly improved than that of the oxygen atomizing group (P<0.05) and control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONAccurate airway humidification could reduce the complications such as pharyngalgia, mucosal edema and purulent sputum after low-temperature plasma coblation-assisted tonsillectomy, and could accelerate recovery from surgery.
