Recent reports have indicated that NK cells may have the function of immunological memory in common with cells of the adaptive immune system."Memory" NK cells move through the four phases of the adaptive immune response — proliferation,contraction,memory and recall which was similar to the T-cell responses."Memory" NK cells have special phenotypes.During MCMV infection,"memory" NK cells showed a greater expression of Ly49H,KLRG1,CD43 and Ly6C,and a decreased expression of CD27.In hapten (DNFB)-induced contact hypersensitivity model,the sorted liver NK cell subsets with the phenotype of Thy-1+Ly49C-I+ had the transferable memory activity,occupying around 10% of hepaedtic NK cells.These Ly49H+"memory" NK cells might produce more IFN-gamma ex vivo in response to plate-bound antibody against NK1.1 or Ly49H.Degranulation by Ly49H+ "memory" NK cells was also enhanced,as assessed by CD107a expression after ex vivo stimulation with anti-NK1.1."Memory" NK cells may move through the same migratory routes and adhesion pathways during the priming and effector phases of DNFB-primed Rag2-/-mice as conventional T cells of normal mice.Until now,it is not clear about the requirements for the triggering,regulation and maintenance of NK cell memory,but it is absolutely clear that "Memory" NK cells must play important role in host defense against pathogens.

Objective To detect the effects of miR-143 on proliferation, migration and invasion of human nasopharyngeal cancer CNE-2Z cells.Methods The expression of miR-143 in NP69 cells, CNE-1 cells and CNE-2Z cells were detected by using real-time PCR.The overexpression of miR-143 in CNE-2Z cells was constructed through infecting lentivrius, and the level of miR-143 was determined by using real-time PCR.Cell viability was detected by using a CCK-8 kit according to the manufacturer's instruction at indicated time points.The effectiveness of overex-pression of miR-143 on migration and invasion of CNE-2Z cells were detected by using Transwell cell migration and invasion assay.Results The expression level of miR-143 in CNE-2Z was significantly lower than those in NP69 and CNE-1 (P<0.01).The miR-143 over-expressed CNE-2Z cell was successfully established.The cell viability in CNE-2Z/ miR-143 group was significantly decreased compared with CNE-2Z and CNE-2Z/miR-NC (P<0.01).Overexpression of miR-143 inhibited cell migration and invasion of CNE-2Z cells significantly(P<0.01).Conclusion miR-143 might inhibit cell proliferation, migration and invasion in human nasopharyngeal cancer CNE-2Z cells, indicating its important role in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of nasopharyngeal cancer.

Objective To investigate the correlation between T cell subsets and HCV viralload in HCV infection. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect peripheral T cell subsets count of 69 patients with hepatitis C and 20 cases of normal health human, and fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect viral load in patients with hepa-titis C. Results ① The study showed that the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells (42.87 ±6.11) and of CD4 +/CD8 +(1.34±0.25) in patients patients was significantly lower than those of normal health group,it was 49.55±6.68 and 1.82±0.11 (P<0.01);but the percentage ratio of CD8 +T cells (32.78±5.48) was higher than that of the normal health human ( 27.35 ±4.32 ) ( P<0.01 ) . There were no significant differences between the two groups in the percentage ratio of CD3 + T cells. ② The viral load gradually increased as the percentage ratio of CD8 +T cells increased, while the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells and the percentage ratio of CD4 +T cells and CD4 +/ CD8 + were decreased gradually. Conclusion It may be one of the important reasons as the chronic infec-tion of hepatitis C virus by change of T cell subsets, and may be an important cause leading to the decrease of T lymphocyte response ability as the expression level of HCV RNA increases.

Objective To observe the influence of rational emotional therapy on breast cancer patients preoperation. Methods 50 cases of breast cancer patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 25 cases in each group. The control group was provided routine therapy and nursing, health education and general psychological nursing, based upon these routine measures, the experimental group adopted systematic and standardized rational emotional therapy. Zung self rating depression scale(SDS), Zung self rating anxiety scale(SAS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale(PSQI)were used to evaluate the effect between two groups. Results No significant differ-ence existed in anxiety, depression and sleep quality between the two groups at admission, but significant difference was seen one day preoperation, also there was statistical significance between at admission and one day preoperation in the experimental group. Conclusions Rational emotional therapy of breast can-cer patients who underwent surgical operation played a significant role on their preoperative short-term e-motions(including anxiety,depression, sleep quality), and worthy of clinical application.
