Objective To study the effects of B cells from lupus prone Triple congenic (TC) mouse model on the differentiation and development of T cell subsets. Methods The spleen size and B cell numbers were measured, and surface CD40, CD86 and Ⅰ-Ab molecules on B cells as well as CD4+T cell subsets were detected using flow cytometry when the spontaneous systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) model TC mice and control B6 mice were 6 months old. In addition, the chimera of TC B cells and B6 CD4+T cells or chimera of B6 B cells and B6 CD4+ T cells were transferred into B6.Rag-/- mice via intravenous injection. Then, T cell subsets in the spleen of recipient B6.Rag-/-mice were observed 7 days after cell transplantation. Results TC mice had significantly bigger spleen [(5337±934) mg] and more CD19+B cell number [(276.0±48.7)×107] than control B6 mice [spleen weight: (91±4) mg; B cell number: (6.4±0.3)×107](P<0.01). TC mice showed markedly increased CD40 [MFI (63.6±3.1)], CD86 [(MFI (18.96±0.44)] and Ⅰ-Ab [MFI (637±41) on spleen B cells compared with that of B6 mice [CD40 MFI: (36.6 ±2.0); CD86 MFI: (14.26 ±0.19); Ⅰ-Ab MFI: (307 ±23)] (P<0.01). In addition, TC mice revealed notably more Th1 subset [(36.54 ±4.22)%] in spleen than B6 mice [Th1 subset: (19.90±0.10)%] [P<0.01], but both strains had equivalent percentages of Th17 and IL-21+CD4+T cell populations (P>0.05). The recipient B6.Rag-/-mice transplanted with TC B cells had significantly more Th1 subset [(54.1±2.8)%] and IL-21+CD4+T cell population [(14.3±1.0)%], but less Th17 subset [(2.05±0.09)%] in spleen than the recipient B6.Rag-/-mice administered by B6 B cells [Th1 subset: (39.5±1.1)%; IL-21+CD4+T cell population:(7.5±1.2)%;Th17 subset:(6.45±1.10)%](P<0.01). Conclusion The B cells of lupus-prone TC mice exhibit a markedly hyper-activation in spleen, and promote CD4+T cells differentiation preferentially into Th1 subset and IL-21+CD4+T cell population, which may further contribute to SLE pathogenesis.

In our previous studies, substance P-like immunoreactive varicose nerve fibers have been demonstrated in the pars distalis of the adenohypophysis of the dog. They were found, at light microscopical level, to be closely related to gland cells. In the present study, the ultrastructure of substance P-like immunoreactive nerve fibers and their relationship with the gland cells of the pars distalis in the dog were investigated by use of pre-embedding immuno-electron microscopy. Direct contacts could be ascertained on every cell type of the gland, including folliculo-stellate cells. Typical synapses were identified on somatotropes and corticotropes, more on the latter. Most of them were of asymmetrical type with round to oval small clear vesicles and scattered large dense cored vesicles. It is considered morphologically proved that the substance P-like immunoreactive nerve fibers have effector role in the pars distalis of the dog.

Objective To summarize the methods and experiences of aortic arch surgery. Methods In 75 aortic arch operations, 74 were performed by using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), including retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) in 54 cases and antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) in 20 cases. Surgical procedures included ascending aortic and hemiarch grafting in 53 cases, which concomitantly included stent placement intra decending aorta in 11, patching of arch intimal tear in 6 and of decending aortic one in 3. Ascending and total arch grafting in 20 cases,which concomitantly included traditional elephant trunk procedure in 12 and stent placement intra decending aorta in 4. Simple arch aneurysm resection in 1 and arch grafting in 1. Concomitant procedures included Bentall procedure in 17 cases, AVR in 12, Cabrol procedure in 3, mitral valvuloplasty in 5 and aortic valvuloplasty in 9. DHCA time ranged from 9 to 120 min (mean 42.3 min). Results Operative mortality was 6.7%. The most common complications were respiratory insufficiency(11 cases), renal insufficience(7 cases) and temporary mental anomaly(9 cases). Conclusion DHCA+RCP and DHCA+SCP are both effective while the latter is more suitable for complex aortic arch surgery. The choice of surgical procedures depends on the nature of lesion and location of intimal tear. Preoperative condition and surgical technique are the essential factors to success in aortic arch surgery.

OBJECTIVE To study the influence factors acted on germicidal efficacy of a bed unit ozone sterilizer. METHODS All the experiments were carried out according to the Technical Standard for Disinfection. RESULTS After working for 20min,the concentration of ozone in disinfection packet attained to 765.21 mg/m~3,the killing rates of Staphylococcus aureus were 90.96%,95.46% or 99.35% under the relative humidity(RH) of 50%,70% or 90% at 20℃,the killing rates were 95.56%,68.36% or 66.42% at 20℃ and RH 70% in the presence of 0%,25% or 50% organic substances,the temperature and carriers had little influence on killing rate. CONCLUSIONS Considering the strong influences of relative humidity,and organic substance on ozone sterilizer,we should increase the concentration of ozone or improve the conditions of disinfection in actual use to assure the germicidal efficacy.
