Objective: To compare the phenotype of induced dendritic cell (DC) derived from peripheral blood of the healthy individuals and the patients with oral carcinoma. Methods:15 patients with oral carcinomal at stages II or above were assigned to study group and 15 cases of healthy volunteers were assigned to control group. Leukocyte were isolated by density centrifugation. Adherent fractions were incubated in present of GM-CSF,IL-4 and TNF-? for 7 days in vitro. The morphological change of the cultured cells was observed by light microscopy and electronic microscopy. The phenotype expressions of CD83,CD1a,CD86, CD80, HLA-DR were analysized by flow cytometry. Results:Typical DCs were obtained from two groups after 7 days culture. The expression rate of CD83,CD1a on DC from healthy volunteers was significantly higher than that from patients (P0.05). Conclusion:DC derived from oral cancer patient' s peripheral blood monocyte might be more matured and is a good cell model for further immunotherapy and research.

Objective In order to provide scientific evidence for revealing the pathophysiological changes, levels of the humoral and cellular immunity and cytokines in elderly patients with bacterial pneumonia were determined. Methods The changes of immunological markers including IgA, IgG, IgM,C3, C4,T cell subpopulation (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +) and CD4 +/CD8 +, IL 2, IL 6, IL 8, TNF ? were examined for the elderly bacterial pneumonia group(BPG), the aged control group(ACG) and the young control group(YCG). Results The level of CD3 +〔(53 90?7 10)% vs (62 67?6 08)%〕, CD4 +〔(33 85?4 69)% vs (3 57?3 40)%〕, IL 2〔(4 09?0 69) ?g/L vs (6 72?0 52) ?g/L〕 and IL 8〔(0 28?0 07) ?g/L vs (0 39?0 09) ?g/L〕 in ACG were significantly lower than those in YCG. The levels of IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, CD8 +, IL 8〔(0 33?0 08) ?g/L vs (0 28?0 07) ?g/L〕, and TNF ?〔(1 25?0 23) ?g/L vs (1 10?0 20) ?g/L〕in BPG were significantly higher than those in ACG; and in BPG the levels of IgG, IgM, C3, IL 8 and TNF ? were significantly higher than those in YCG. However, the levels of CD3 +, CD4 + and the ratio CD4 +/CD8 +in BPG were markedly lower than those in YCG;the IL 2(2 730?0 612 ?g/L) was much lower than that of ACG〔(6 72?0 52) ?g/L〕 and YCG〔(4 09?0 69) ?g/L〕, respectively. Conclusions The occurrence and the progress of bacterial pneumonia in the elderly are related to the immunological functioning including the excessive humoral immunity, the super activation of complement system, the dysequilibrium of T cellular immunoloregulation network and the super excretion of inflammatory cytokines.
