Objective:To compare immune effects of hepatitis B-BCG combined vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine.Methods:The vaccines were administered to the guinea pig at 0, 1, 2 months. The tests were divided into three parts. The immune effects were compared in three kinds of the combined vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine(Part One), in three lots of the combined vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine(Part Two), in the group of combined vaccine and the group of hepatitis B vaccine and BCG(Part Three). After 1 month of each vaccine dose, serum specimens were measured for anti-HBs by ELISA.Results:The several studies have documented the serum anti-HBs concentritious in the group of combined vaccine in first dose were lower than those of the group of control, and the data showed no significantly difference. However, anti-HBs levels of the combined vaccine group in second vaccine dose and third vaccine dose were higher than those of the control group, and this difference was no longer statistically significant in group of combined vaccine and control, and among groups of combined vaccine.Conclusion:The immune efficacy of HBsAg in group of combined vaccine is similar to the group of hepatitis B vaccine in three doses immunization schedules.

OBJECTIVETo explore the multi-differentiated capability of human periodontal ligament cell population (hPDLP), and provide a theoretical basis for the periodontal regeneration by tissue engineering technique.

METHODShPDLP was cultured from periodontium of human tooth by the outgrowth method. STRO-1 and CD 146 expression were investigated by flow cytometry. hPDLP was induced to odontogenic/osteogenic-like and adipogenic-like cell. The multilineage differentiation capacities of hPDLP were evaluated by alizarin red stain, oil red O stain, anti-CD146 and STRO-1 immunocytochemistry, and reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis.

RESULTShPDLP was isolated from human periodontium and most of the cells retained their fibroblastic spindle shape. hPDLP can be induced into osteoblast-like cells and adipocyte-like cells, and calcium deposition and lipid droplets were detected perspectively. And the eighth generation of hPDLP had weaker potential into adipocyte-like cells than the first passage, however, there was no difference to the aspect of calcification ability between the two passages.

CONCLUSIONhPDLP cultured in vitro can differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts, and the first to third passage cells may have the predominance of differentiation potential.

In the present study, the performance of a new blood cell separator (COBE Spectra LRS Turbo Version 7.0) and that of the previous version LRS version 5.1 in the collection efficiency (CE), collection rate and residual white blood cells during platelet collection from donors were compared. 232 units of platelet concentrates (n = 232) were evaluated and 163 units were collected with the Spectra LRS version 5.1 (Group A) and 69 units with the LRS turbo version 7.0 (Group B). Donor's blood cell counts and parameters, platelet yield, collection efficiency and residual leukocytes in platelet concentrates were analysed. Results showed that the platelet yield was higher in group B than that in group A: (2.90 +/- 1.1) x 10(11) versus (2.58 +/- 1.2) x 10(11), P < 0.001; residual WBCs were less than 5 x 10(6) in 99.4% of group A platelet concentrates and in 97.1% of group B platelet concentrates. Collection efficiency was higher in group B than in group A: 51.4 +/- 8.7 versus 43.6 +/- 6.3. A correlation between platelet count before collecting blood and platelet yield was observed in both groups. In conclusion, the Spectra LRS Turbo version 7.0 showed a higher platelet yield than that with LRS version 5.1. Higher platelet counts before collection allow a higher platelet yield.

OBJECTIVETo construct a recombinant adenovirus vector carrying soluble extracellular region of tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor I-IgGFc (sTNFRI-IgGFc) and express the fusion protein in human bronchial epithelial HBE135-E6E7 cells.

METHODSsTNFRI-IgGFc fusion gene was subcloned into the adenovirus shuttle plasmid pDC316, which was co-transfected with helper plasmid pBHGloxPE1,3Cre into HEK293 cells. The recombinant adenovirus (Ad-sTNFRI-IgGFc) was generated by homologous recombination of the 2 plasmids in HEK293 cells. After identification with PCR, Ad-sTNFRI-IgGFc was amplified and purified, and its titer measured using TCID50 assay. The transcription and expression of sTNFRI-IgGFc gene in the transfected HBE135-E6E7 were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSAd-sTNFRI-IgGFc was successfully constructed with a viral titer of 3 x 10(10) TCID50/ml. The expression of sTNFRI-IgGFc mRNA and protein was confirmed in the transfected HBE135-E6E7 cells.

CONCLUSIONThe constructed Ad-sTNFRI-IgGFc can effectively infect HBE135-E6E7 cells for efficient expression of sTNFRI-IgGFc protein, which antagonizes the cytolytic effect of TNFalpha in L929 cells, suggesting the potential of adenovirus expressing sTNFRI-IgGFc for local treatment of asthma.

The purpose of this study was to design an antibody screening method based on the micro-column gel indirect anti-globulin technique (MGIAT), using pooled cells and plasma, by comparison with the conventional indirect anti-globulin technique (CIAT) combined with a two-stage papain technique, and to explore the feasibility of the use of plasma instead of serum as test material. The samples of blood recipients in our hospital were screened for irregular antibody using pooled test cells. Screening of the antibodies was identified both by MGIAT and CIAT combined papain technique respectively. The results showed that the irregular erythrocyte antibodies were detected in 20 cases from 5,000 recipients screened by MGIAT, using pooled cells, the positive rate was 0.4%. The specificity of 20 cases of irregular antibodies was as follows: 2 cases of anti-D, 8 cases of anti-E, 1 cases of anti-C, 2 cases of anti-c, 2 cases of anti-Mi(a), 2 cases of anti-Jk(a), 1 case of anti-Le(a) and 2 cases of anti-Fy(a). Antibody was detected from 19 cases using CIAT. Anti-Le(a) was detected with adding complement from Le(a-b-) person. Only 13 cases antibody were found by papain technique. It was concluded that irregular antibody screening by MGIAT using pooled cells can take place of the CIAT combining with papain technique in clinical application. Plasma is superior to serum in antibody screening test.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility of whole body diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in bone metastasis detection using bone scintigraphy as comparison.

METHODSForty-five patients with malignancy history were enrolled in our study. All the patients received the whole body DWI and bone scintigraphy scan within 1 week. The magnetic resonance (MR) examination was performed on 3.0T MR scanner using embedded body coil. The images were reviewed separately by two radiologists and two nuclear medicine physicians, who were blinded to the results of the other imaging modality. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the two techniques for detecting bone metastasis were analyzed.

RESULTSA total of 181 metastatic lesions in 77 regions of 34 patients were detected by whole body DWI, and 167 metastatic lesions in 76 regions of 31 patients were identified by bone scintigraphy. The patient-based sensitivity and PPV of whole body DWI and bone scintigraphy were similar (89.5% vs. 81.6%, 97.1% vs. 91.2%), whereas, the patient-based specificity and NPV of whole body DWI were obviously higher than those of bone scintigraphy (85.7% vs. 57.1%, 60.0% vs. 36.4%). Ten regions negative in scintigraphy but positive in whole body DWI, mainly located in spine, pelvis, and femur; nine regions only detected by scintigraphy, mainly located in skull, sternum, clavicle, and scapula. The region-based sensitivity and specificity of whole body DWI were slightly higher than those of bone scintigraphy (89.5% vs. 88.4%, 95.6% vs. 87.6%).

CONCLUSIONWhole body DWI reveals excellent concordance with bone scintigraphy regarding detection of bone metastasis, and the two techniques are complementary for each other.

Objective To explore the embolization effect of new platinum coils coated with [4COOH-P (DLLA-co-TMC)] biodegradable polymer and released vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) into intracranial aneurysms on rat intracranial aneurysms. Methods A total of 54 adult healthy female SD rats were randomly divided into Group Ⅰ with general platinum coils, Group Ⅱ with polymer-coated platinum coils and Group Ⅲ with platinum coils modified with VEGF (n=18).The right common carotid arteries (CCA) of rats in each group were exposed; and the 8 mm lengths of platinum coil segments were inserted into the ligated right CCA of rats. The distal right CCA was performed ligation and restored the blood flow; 6 rats each time at 15,30 and 90 d after the surgery were chosen;and the distal right CCA was used as aneurysm models,and the left CCA without the coil placement or surgical disruption in Group I with general platinum coil was chosen as normal control.The proliferation and fibrosis of endothelial cells were observed by HE staining; von Willebrand Factor (vWF) expression was detected by immunohistochemical staining; and VEGF expression was examined by Western blotting. Results Cellular proliferation and fibrosis in Group Ⅲ with platinum coils modified with VEGF enjoyed significantly higher grade than those in Group Ⅰ with general platinum coils 10,60 and 90d after the surgery (P＜0.05); Cellular proliferation and fibrosis in Group Ⅲ with platinum coils modified with VEGF enjoyed significantly higher grades than those in Group Ⅱ with polymer-coated platinum coils 30 d after the surgery (P＜0.05).Pathological observations showed that the massive intimal hyperplasia and substantial clot completely occluded the aneurysm lumen in Group Ⅲ with platinum coils modified with VEGF; New small blood vessels having vwf-positive expression were noted in the fiberized tissues;the thrombosis in Group Ⅰ with general platinum coils and Group Ⅱ with polymer-coat platinum coils were not fully organized and showed loose hyperplasia structure with a large number of internal spaces.Western blotting indicated that the VEGF level in Group Ⅲ with platinum coils modified with VEGF were significantly higher than that in other groups 15 and 30 d after the operation,however,the VEGF level in Group Ⅲ with platinum coils modified with VEGF 90 d after the surgery was decreased because the lumen completed fibration and degradation of 4COOH-P (DLLA-co-TMC). Conclusion The VEGF-eontaining biodegradable polymer,by slowly releasing VEGF to modify the surface of platinum coils, could enhance the cellular proliferation, thrombosis and formation of dense fibrous tissue in aneurysm lumen; as compared with general platinum coils,these new platinum coils could occlude the rat aneurysm faster and more completely.
