Transfer of interferon-induced viral resistance from human lympnocytes to numau amnion FL cells was studied by using dye uptake method.Lymphocytes pretreated with Human IFN-?(500u/ml)and then cocultured with FL cells at a 5:1 ratio for 4 hours can efficiently transfer the IFN-induced viral resistance to FL cells.This process depended on the close contact and sutable ratio of donor lymphocytes to recipient FL cells at a given density.Antiviral activity in the cocultured homologous cells was not blocked by sheep antisera to Namalva-IFN,but could be prevented by rotatingcocultures.Specific ~(51)Cr release and staining with vital dyes showed little effect ofcell-mediated cytotoxicity on FL cells,which expressed the transfered antiviral state.These findings suggest that the IFN-induced signal molecules on membrances of lympho-cytes might have served as an important mediator in induced transfer action.Thus thepathway of transfered antiviral activity may be a new and efficient host defense aga-inst viral ections.

Kinetics of production of IL-1, IL-6 and TNFa induced by endotoxin from human monocytes as well as their relationships were studied using cytokine bioassays and immu nocytochemical staining methods. The results showed that accu mulation of IL-1 ?, IL-6 and TNFa molecules in cytoplasma and their release into supernatants had different kinetic patterns from each others, reflecting the difference in gene activation, transcription, translation and release of these three cytokines. In addition, only part of monocytes synthesize IL-1 ?, IL-6 and TNF?, suggesting the presence of different cytokineproducing monocyte subsets.

Objective: To investigate the curative effect of combined acupuncture and medicine on pseudobulbar paralysis. Method:The patients were allocated into an acupuncture group of 50 cases and a control group of 48 cases by completely random sampling. The acupuncture group received western medicine combined with acupuncture and the control group received simple Western medicine. Results:The effective rate was 92.0% in the acupuncture group and 62.5% in the control group. There was a very significant difference in curative effect between the two groups(P＜ 0.01). Conclusion: The curative effect of combined acupuncture and medicine on pseudobulbar paralysis is significantly better than that of simple Western medicine.

Objective:To observe the expression of immunoregulatory cytokines including interleukin-4(IL-4,Th2)、 interferon-?(IFN-?,Th1)、interleukin-betal (IL-1?) in the tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),and to investigate the relationship between the changes of immunoregulatory cytokines in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic metastasis and recurrence.Methods:The immunoregulatory cytokines:IFN-?(Th1)、IL-4(Th2)、IL-1? were analyzed by RT-PCR.Results:34 cases with HCC were compared with the ones with liver cirrhosis,the expression rates and density of IFN-?(Th1) in the tissues of hepatocellular carcinoma were much lower than that in the liver cirrhosis,they are 0.92?0.36(18/34,53.9%) and 1.63?0.64(12/15,80.0%),respectively.There is significant difference between them (P

Objective To evaluate the effects of continuous pulmonary artery Perfusion with hypothermic oxygenated blood on lung function in children with congenital heart defects (CHD) and pulmonary hypertension(PH). Methods 20 patients diagnosed with CHD and PH were divided into group 1( perfused with oxygenated blood) and group 2 (conventional CPB). A canula was inserted into the main pulmonary artery for the perfusion with a rate of 15～30 ml?kg -1 ?min -1 . CPB was established as usual. The data of two groups including the oxygen concentration, airway pressure, blood gas analysis were recorded. At fixed times, blood sample was taken out for the measurement of the sICAM-1 and MDA. Results The concentration of sICAM-1 and MDA in group 1 was much lower than that in group 2 on 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Issues of the lung function including OI?A-aDOa_2 and airway pressure was significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion The study showed that the continuous pulmonary perfusion with oxygenated blood could preserve lung function in patients with CHD and PH.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effects of warm-needling technique on peripheral facial paralysis. Methods: Warm-needling technique and electroacupuncture were employed to treat 30 cases of facial paralysis, respectively. The same acupoints, Cuanzhu(BL 2)towards Yuyao(Ex-HN 4), Yingxiang(LI 20) towards Xiaguan(ST 7), Taiyang(Ex-HN 5)towards Xuanlu(GB 5), Dicang(ST 4) towards Jiache(ST 6), and Chengjiang(CV 24) towards Daying(ST 5), were used. Results: After 33 treatments, the warm-needling technique has an effective rate of 83.3%, while the electroacupuncture 67.7%. Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of warm-needling technique was better than that of electroacupuncture method.

Objective To approach the clinical features of batched severe burn accompanied by blast injury in lungs, and to sum up both experiences and lessons drawn from the treatment on those cases. Methods 16 cases of severe burn accompanied by blast injury in lungs were inductively analyzed on their clinical features and the experiences and lessons drawn from the treatment were summed up. Results 14 cases got full recovery, and the 2 remainders died of multiple organ failure. Conclusion An overall treatment plan, evacuation in time and individual therapy are necessary for the batched treatment of severe burn accompanied by blast injury in lungs, and an integrated therapy may get a satisfied result.

Objective To investigate the frequency of micresatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and select sensitive loci for studying microsatellite DNA imbalance in thymic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods 5 microsat-ellitc polymorphism markers and extrated DNA were selected from 9 specmiens of paired thymie squamous cell carcinoma/nor-real tissues. MSI and LOH in the specmiens of thymic carcinoma and relevant pericancerou tissues were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by 6% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) with silver staining. Results MSI or LOH was detected in 9 thymic carcinoma tissues. The frequency of MSI or LOH was 66.7% (6/9) at loci of D6S1708, 33.3% (3/9) at TP53, 33.3% (3/9)at DM, 33.3% (3/9)at D11S988 and 0% (0/9)at D8S136, LOH at D6S1708 (5/6) was a common genetic alteration. DI1S988 had only LOH alteration. Conclusion D6S1708, TP53, DM, and D11S988 are sensi-tive loci for studying microsatellite DNA imbalance in thymic squamous cell carcinoma. Microsatellite DNA imbalance may play a certain role in occurrence and development of thymic squamous cell carcinoma, and the relationship between MSi or LOH.The linicopathological features of thymic squamous cell carcinoma needs further investigation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors of nosocomial infection in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer during radiotherapy with concomitant weekly paclitaxel treatment. METHODS Twenty six cases of advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patients in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS There were 20 cases of nosocomial infection from inpatients.The infection rate was 76.9 % and isolates of bacteria were found,of which Candida albicans accounted for 46.2%,Gram-negatives were 38.5%,Gram-positives were 11.5%.The main risk factors were long time hospitalization,oral mucosal lesion,leukocytopenia,improper application of antibiotic and glucocorticoids. CONCLUSIONS To prevent and control nosocomial infection in advanced nasopharyngeal cancer during radiotherapy and concomitant chemotherapy,measures such as shortening hospitalization days,reinforcing oral nursing,preventing the leukocytopenia,reasonable using of antibiotics and glucocorticoids should be adopted.

Objective To explore the mechanism of gene Nelin on the differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC).Methods Human VSMCs were stably infected with over-express lentiviral vector [Nelin-VSMC] and interference lentiviral vector [LV-Nelin-SiRNA-VSMC] by Western blotting and RT-PCR.The effect of Nelin expression on phenotypic transition of VSMCs was observed and the mechanism involved was explored.Results The Nelin-VSMC cells take on the contractile phenotype of long slender cells possessing hill-valley characteristics.Overexpression of Nelin can enhance SMoα-actin expression with the increase of total RhoA and nuclear serum response factor(SRF) expression.Treated with a selective Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632,the expression of SMα-actin and nuclear SRF protein induced by Nelin was effectively reduced.Meanwhile,the opposite results were observed in the Nelin-depression VSMC.Conclusions Nelin can enhance the expression of SMα-actin and carry a pivotal role in the process of VSMCs differentiation and phenotype modulation by activating Rho and SRF.
