Objective:To explore the influence of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(G-CSF) combined with adrenocortical steroid and/or immunosuppressants on immune system of donor mice during hematopoietic stem cell mobilization.Methods: The donor C57BL/6 mice were divided into 4 groups according to the mobilization strategies,namely,the G-CSF group((250 ?g/kg) for 4 days),G-CSF(250 ?g/kg for 4 days) + methylprednisolone group(100 mg/kg on day 3),G-CSF((250 ?g/kg) for 4 days) + methylprednisolone group(100 mg/kg on day 3) + cyclosporine A(100 mg/kg on day 3),and PBS control group.The post-mobilization T lymphocytes of C57BL/6 mice and the splenocytes of BALB/c mice were subjected to mixed lymphocyte reactions(MLR).The levels of IFN-?,IL-4,and TGF-?_(1) were determined in the supernatants of donor mice splenocytes by ELISA method and the mRNA levels of IFN-? and IL-4 were determined by RT-PCR.Results: The results showed that the MLR-inhibitory activities in the 3(G-CSF) mobilized groups were 42%,21%, and 39%,respectively;all lower than that in PBS control group(68%).IFN-? levels in the 3 G-CSF mobilized groups were lower than that in PBS control group,but he levels of IL-4 and TGF-?_(1)were significantly higher than those in PBS group(P

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of oxygen free radical/JNK signaling pathway on neuronal autophagy after subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) in rats.Methods 160 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham group, SAH model group, low dose Edaravone group and high dose Edaravone group.The SAH model was established by autologous blood injection into cisterna magna twice, while the rats in the sham group were injected with isotonic saline(0.3mL/time).The high dose of edaravone group and low dose of edaravone group were given 5mg/kg or 10mg/kg of edaravone, respectively, once daily with tail intravenous injection after the models were established.The morphological changes of hippocampus neural cells were detected by light microscope.The malondialdehyde (MDA) level in brain tissue was determined with thiobarbituric acid.The changes of phosphorylated JNK and autophagic biomarkers (Beclin-1 and LC3-II)were detected by immunohistochemical method.The expressions of JNK mRNA,Beclin-1 mRNA and LC3 mRNA in hippocampus was detected by Real time-quantitative PCR.Results The necrotic nerve cells were seen in the hippocampus of SAH group in terms of nuclear dissolution, nuclear fragmentation or nuclear disappearance.Compared with Sham group, the level of MDA and the number of dead neurons, the expression of JNK mRNA, Beclin-1 mRNA and LC3-Ⅱ mRNA were increased in the SAH group (P<0.05).The survival rate of nerve cells in the SAH group was lower than that in the sham group.The immunoreactivity of phosphorylated JNK 、Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ in the SAH group was enhanced than that in the sham group.However the damage of the morphological structure of nerve cells was relatively decreased in both doses groups.Compared with SAH group, the level of MDA and the expression of JNK mRNA in low dose Edaravone group and high dose Edaravone group were decreased.The expression of Beclin-1 mRNA and LC-3 mRNA was higher (P<0.05).Furthermore, the survival rates of nerve cells in both dosesgroups were higher than that in the SAH group (P<0.05).Meanwhile, the immunoreactivity of phosphorylated JNK in both doses groups was weakened than that in the SAH group.The mRNA expression of Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ was increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Oxygen free radical played an important role in process of neuronloss by activating the JNK signaling pathway to regulate Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ expression.

Argon-helium cryosurgical system has been widely used in the treatment of solid tumors.The basic mechanism of this technique is that the ultra low temperature(below 140℃ ) can act on the diseased tissues, resulting in the formation of ice crystals both inside and outside of the cells and causing the rupture of the cells, which will further produce a series of physical and chemical changes and finally bring about the necrosis of tumor cells.This paper aims to introduce the argon-helium cryosurgical system, focusing on its guiding mode, freezing extent and time, freezing immunity, curative effect and combination of treatments.

Biological behavior of tumor has a close relationship with its blood supply from the tumor microvessels.The microvessel density of tumor can affect the progressiveness and prognosis of tumor directly. The application of TACE can kill the tumor cell, destroy its blood vessel, and obstruct its blood supply. The advancement of the tumor micro- vessel variation after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization is reviewed.

Objective To establish a rat model of chronic atrophic gastritis and investigate the factors inducing gastric atrophy. Methods According to the repeated orthogonal design of L 8(2 7), 60% alcohol and 20 mmol/L sodium deoxycholate (served as factor A), 0.05%~0.1% ammonia water (factor B) and 0.05% indomethacin (factor C) were given, alone or in combination, to rats in three experiments for 3 months, 6 months and 9 months, respectively. Then the rats were sacrificed and pathologic changes of the gastric mucosa were studied by gross appearence and microscopy. Results Typical appearance of CAG, which could maintain over one month, were found in all rats treated with factor A,B,C alone or in combination for 6 or 9 months. Conclusion 60% alcohol, 20 mmol/L sodium deoxycholate, 0.05%~0.1% ammonia water and 0.05% indomethacin given to SD rats for 6 months could establish animal model of CAG with a 100% successful rate.

Objective To observe the vascular imaging the pathological changes in the patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant intraarterial chemotherapy. Methods Before intraarterial infusion, DSA were performed on 96 patients with breast cancer. Pathological changes were studied after operation. Results The blood supply of breast cancer mainly arises from the lateral thoracic and subscapular arteries. Abnormalities in the vascular architecture of breast cancer include irregular bolus arrangement, contrast staining, pooling of contrast material. Degeneracy and necrosis can be seen in the tumor cells after intraarterial chemotherapy. The stromal edema, infiltration of inflammatory cells and fibroplasia may take place. Conclusions Intraarterial infusion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is effective in the patients with breast cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical results of combined TIPSS and azygoportal disconnection for portal hypertension in controlling and preventing esophageal variceal bleeding. Methods From Oct. 1996 to Dec. 2001, 60 patients with portal hypertension were admitted to our department because of variceal bleeding and submitted to the treatment with the combination TIPSS and azygoportal disconnection. According to Child Pugh classification, 11 patients were in class A, 37 in class B, and 12 in class C. 41 patients showed mild ascites and 8 with severe ascites. The mild and severe esophageal varices were proven by upper digestive barium meal. The procedure was divided into two stages; first, TIPSS procedure with the stent of diameter 0.8cm and length 6-7cm was successfully inplanted in all patients, second, all patients underwent azygoportal disconnection two weeks later after TIPSS. Results After the combination TIPSS and azygoportal disconnection, the recent complications included three cases with bleeding at operative fields, one case with infradiaphagmatic abscess and seven with slight encephalopathy. No rebleeding of esophageal varices and death occurred during the treatment. During the follow up of 1-5 years, the rates of shunt occlusion, rebleeding and death were 11.9%, 3.5% and 7.0% respectively. Conclusions The combination TIPSS and azygoportal disconnection is an efficient therapeutic methods for portal hypertension.
