1.Regulatory T cells and hepatocellular carcinoma
International Journal of Surgery 2011;38(9):629-632
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subpopulation of CD4 +T cells highly expressing CD25 and Foxp3. Treg not only involves in autoimmune disease, infection and transplantation tolerance, but also plays a pivotal role in the suppression of anti-tumor immunity during tumor development. Current researches suggest the frequency of Treg is increased in tumor tissues and peripheral blood of patients with HCC, which is associated with HCC development, and affect survival rate and prognosis of HCC patients. Depletion of Treg together with surgical resection of the tumor could be a new approach for HCC, which can enhance tumorspecific T cell memory to remove latent metastasis and protect against recurrence for improvement of HCC therapeutic effect. This review presents the role of Treg in HCC development, the relationship between Treg and prognosis and its clinical practice.

Objective To establish drug resistant models of temporal lobe epilepsy induced by amygdala kindling,and to investigate the changes of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) expression in the hippocampus tissues in order to explore their roles in drug resistant epileptogenesis.Methods Eighty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n =10) and model group (n =70).The 70 rats were used to prepare the amygdaloid kindled model of epilepsy by chronic stimulation of amygaloid basal lateral nucleus.The successful kindled models were randomly selected as drug resistant epileptic group (n =10) and drug sensitive epileptic group (n =10) according to their response to the phenytoin and phenobarbital.On the basis of behavioral observation,electrophysiology,pathological HE staining,CREB and p-CREB expression changes,we verified the reliability of the models and explored the differences among the three groups above.The changes of CREB and p-CREB expression were detected by immunohistochemical method and Western blotting assay.Results In control group,the electroencephalogram (EEG) frequency was (8.700 ±1.494) Hz;in drug sensitive epileptic group,the EEG frequency was (14.700 ± 1.159) Hz;in drug resistant epileptic group,the EEG frequency was (19.800 ± 1.686) Hz.The frequency differences among the three groups were statistically significant (F =144.202,P =0.000).By immunohistochemical staining,a large number of CREB and p-CREB positive cells were observed in drug resistant epileptic group.As compared with the control group (CREB 0.197 ±0.058,p-CREB 0.260 ±0.176),the expression levels of CREB and p-CREB were increased in drug sensitive epileptic group (CREB 0.361 ±0.151,p-CREB 0.656 ±0.234) and in drug resistant epileptic group (CREB 0.591 ± 0.150,p-CREB 1.077 ± 0.400).The difference among the three groups had statistical significance (F =24.206,20.376,both P < 0.01).Conclusions The expressions of CREB and p-CREB were significantly increased in drug resistant epileptic rats.These findings indicate that the expressions of CREB and p-CREB may play certain roles in the drugresistant epileptogenesis.

OBJECTIVE: To study the characteristics and regularity of adverse drug reactions (ADR) occurred in our hospital. METHODS: A total of 241 ADR cases occurred in our hospital form Jan. 2006 to Jun. 2009 were analyzed statistically in respect of patients’ status, category of drug, route of administration, organs and system involved in ADR and clinical manifestations. RESULTS: Of the total 241 ADR cases, 69.71%ADR cases were induced by antibacterials. 71.78% ADR cases were induced via intravenous administration. ADR mainly appeared as lesion of skin and appendants (50.92%). CONCLUSION: It is necessary to intervene and guide clinical use of drug, strengthen the monitoring of ADR and reduce the occurrences of ADR.

Objective To study the change curve of ADH in central diabetes insipidus after neurosurgical operation,and analyse the clinical significance of differentiating the types of central diabetes insipidus through the change curve.Methods The serum level of ADH was observed in 158 central diabetes insipidus patients undergone neurosurgical operation.The change curve of ADH in different types of central diabetes insipidus were painted,including transient,continuous and triphasic diabetes insipidus.Results The serum concentrations of ADH in transient and triphasic diabetes insipidus decreased after operation,and arrived the low point(41.7% and 63.6% of the preoperative serum concentration of ADH) after 2 d. The serum concentration of ADH in transient diabetes insipidus recovered to the preoperative level after 10 d.The serum concentration of ADH in triphasic diabetes insipidus arrived the peak after 7 d,then descended.The serum concentration of ADH in continuous diabetes insipidus fell in postoperative 1 d,and arrived the low point(33.3% of the preoperative serum level of ADH) after 7 d.The serum concentration of ADH in continuous diabetes insipidus postoperative 2 weeks was lower than preoperation.Conclusion Though the concentration change curve of ADH,the transient diabetes insipidus can be distinguished from continuous and triphasic diabetes insipidus.The correct differential diagnosis and seemly treatment are beneficial for patients' prognosis.

Objective To activate the microglia cells by using thrombin,and then to observe the effect of precondition of rosiglitazone (RGZ)-pretreated on the expression change of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ),nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) and γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase (γ-GCS).Methods Microglia cells were obtained from the brain tissues of the newborn rats and were primary cultured in vitro.The microglia cells were isolated in 14 days.The isolated microglia cells were randomly devided into normal control group (control group),thrombin stimulation group (stimulation group) and rosiglitazone intervention group (RGZ + TH group).The PPARγ,NQO1 and γ-GCS were observed by immunocytochemistry and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods.Results The immunocytochemistry showed that the number of stained cells of PPARγ,NQO1 and γ-GCS in stimulation group and RGZ + TH group were increased remarkably as compared with the control group.A significant increase of the PPARγ,NQO1 and γ-GCS was observed in the RGZ + TH group compared to the others.The RT-PCR method demonstrated that the expressions of PPARγ mRNA(211.88 ± 58.75),NQO1 mRNA(182.67 ± 62.09) and γ-GCS mRNA (188.17 ± 57.06) in RGZ + TH group were increased significantly as compared with the stimulation group (119.19 ± 44.58,101.73±32.19,108.81 ±19.71) or the control group (0.34±0.21,0.73±0.46,0.30±0.13;F=181.50,286.63,614.43,all P < 0.01).Conclusion Medium-dose rosiglitazone-pretreated might increase the expression of PPARγ,NQO1 and γ-GCS in microglia cells activated by thrombin.Rosiglitazone might activate the PPARγso that increase its downstream gene to achieve its anti-oxidative stress effects.
