A method was developed for the determination of 39 polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs) from mono- to hepta-brominated in coastal sediment by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The sample was extracted with a solution of dichloromethane: n-hexane( 1:1,V/V) ,followed by ultrasonic extraction for 60 min at 25℃. The clean-up step was optimized using silica gel and alumina. The detection limit of the method was in the range of 0.003 - 0.10μg/kg. The results indicate that the average recovery of the internal standard was from 66.2% to 118. 6%. The relative standard deviation RSD( % ) was from 0. 8 % to 18. 2%. The method for the detection of 39 PBDE congeners in coastal sediment was sensitive,high reproducible with satisfactory recoveries.

Objective To investigate the induction of specific anti-tumor immune response by transfected dendritic cells (DCs) with survivin mRNA of human pancreatic cancer, and to provide the experimental evidences for the treatment of human pancreatic cancer with DCs vaccine. Methods DCs were isolated and cultured from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). After being transcripted and amplified, survivin mRNA was transfected into DCs by electroporation. The expression of survivin in DCs at different time points was detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The survival rate of DCs before and after transfection was determined by MTT method. The induction of specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response by survivin mRNA transfected DCs was measured by 51Cr standard cytotoxicity test. The induction of specific CTL activation by survivin mRNA transfected DCs was evaluated through testing released IFN-γ by ELISA method. Results After survivin mRNA transfection for 48h, the expression of survivin mRNA in DCs reached the highest point (46.09±6.57). After transfection, the survival rate of DCs was stabilized around 80%. The DCs transfected with survivin mRNA could effectively induce HLA-A2+ / survivin+ specific CTL immune responses. Stimulated with pancreatic cancer cell line Capan-2 cells or SCL-1 cells as control group, the IFN-γ released in 24 hours by survivin specific CTL were (28.79±5.70) U/ml and (25.12±2.13) U/ml respectively, there was no significant difference (P=0.761). Conclusion The induction of CTLs by DCs transfected with human pancreatic cancer survivin mRNA could produce specific anti-tumor immunity.

Objective To assess the pulmonary function before liver transplantation in patients with end-stage liver disease. Methods One hundred and fifty-four patients with end-stage liver disease, who were waiting for liver transplantation in our hospital, were enrolled into the study. The pulmonary ventilation function,small airway function and diffusion capacity were measured and analyzed respectively. Results Among 154 subjects,140 (90. 9%, 140/154) patients had abnormal pulmonary function, shown as pulmonary diffusing capacity reduction;followed by restrictive ventilatory function reduction (42. 8% ,66/154) and small airway function reduction (37. 7%, 58/154 ), the least common manifestation was obstructive ventilatory function reduction (28.6 % ,44/154 ). Conclusion Abnormal pulmonary function in patients with end-stage liver disease is common, and the pulmonary function tests before liver transplantation has certain referential value for pulmonary function damage evaluation and postoperatively respiratory tract management.

Objective To observe the effects of octreotide combined with enzyme supplementation in treatment of pain in chronic pancreatitis. Methods Fifty-six patients were divided into two groups. Thirty-six patients in the treatment group were treated with octreotide combined with enzyme supplementation,and twenty patients in the control group were treated with enzyme supplementation alone. The pain relief rate,analgesic requirement per day and average days in hospital were analyzed between the two groups. Results Compared with the control group,the treatment group presented better improvement of abdominal pain(P〈0. 05),less requirement of analgesics(P〈0. 05),and shorter duration in hospital(P〈0. 05). Conclusion Octreotide combined with enzyme supplementation is effective in alleviating pain and improving quality of life in patients with chronic pancreatitis.

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture plus early rehabilitation training on the function recovery after surgery for cervical spinal cord injury. Methods Sixty patients with cervical spinal cord injury undergone anterior cervical decompression and internal fixation were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by electroacupuncture plus rehabilitation training, while the control group was by rehabilitation training alone. The Frankel’s grading (FG), Barthel Index (BI), and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were adopted for evaluation before and after intervention. Results The FG was not significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P>0.05). After intervention, there was no significant difference in comparing FG between the two groups (P>0.05). The BI and FIM scores were significantly changed after intervention in both groups (P＜0.01). There were significant differences in comparing BI and FIM scores between the two groups (P＜0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture plus early rehabilitation training can promote the function recovery after surgery for cervical spinal cord injury, and improve the quality of life.

This study was set up to observe the changes in stress and immune functions in upper abdominal surgery after general anesthesia.In thirty elective upper abdominal operation patients,general anesthesia was induced with propofol,fentanyl,scoline and maintained with isoflane and atrumium. Catecholamines(CA),cortisol,interleukin-2(IL-2) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R) were measured before anesthesia,after induction of anesthesia,at the end of operation,and on the first and third postoperative days.The results showed that epinephrine(E),norepinephrine(NE) concentration increased at the end of operation and on the first postoperative day(P

Objective To investigate the best method of transfecting total RNA extracted from pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa-2 cells into dendrtic cells (DCs). Methods DCs were cultured from peripheral blood mononuclear cells induced by rhGM-CSF, rhIL-4 and TNF-α. Morphology of DCs was observed. Flow cytometry was used to detect the mature DCs specific surface markers:CD40, HLA-DR, CD83, CD86. Mixed lymphocyte (MLR) was used to determine the ability of DCs to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation.Liposomal transfection, electroporation method and passive transfection was used to transfect MiaPaCa-2 cell total RNA into DCs, Real time RT-PCR and MTT assay was used to determine the expression of MUC1 mRNA and the survival rate of the RNA transfected DCs. Results The cells acquired showed typical DCs morphology, the positive rate of CD40, HLA DR, CD83 and CD86 were 34.3% ,50.2% ,89.2% and 73.6%,and they showed a strong ability to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation. 48 h after transfection with MiaPaCa-2 cells total RNA by using electroporation, the MUC1 mRNA amount (45.39 ± 9.33) in DCs was higher than that of liposomes method (3 1. 68 ± 7.25) and passive transfection method (18.53 ± 3.26) . DCs survival rate was (80.36 ± 2.43)% by using electroporation, which was relatively lower than (91.48 ±5.42) % by using passive transfection method, but higher than (67.44 ± 2.51) % by using liposomes method,and it was stabilized around 80%. Conclusions Transfecting total RNA extracted from pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa-2 cells into DCs with electroporation is efficient and safe.
