To observe the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 19 kDa lipoprotein (Mtb P19) upon the expression and distribution of Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) on the surface of macrophages, Mtb P19 was prepared from the cultured M.tuberculosis H37 Ra strain , and phorbol myristatye acetate (PMA)-differentiated THP-1 cells were co-cultivated with Mtb P19 at concentration of 10 g/mL and at 37 ℃ temperature and a condition containing 5% CO_2.for 6 hours.. The distribution of TLP-2 on the surface of macrophages was investigated by immuno-cellular chemical method (ICC) while the effect of Mtb P19 upon the expression of TLR on the surface of macrophages was assayed by fluorescent antibody staining. In addition,the changes of TLR-2 expression before and after the effect of Mtb P19 were investigated by flow cytometry analysis and change of TLR-2 arrangement after stimulation with Mth P19 was determined by co-focal microscopy. It was found that the TLR-2 molecules were evenly distributed on the surface of macrophages as demonstrated by ICC. The mean fluorescent intensity increased significantly after stimulation with Mtb P19 for 6 hours in comparison with that of the control group, and the patchy surface with fluorescent staining positive zones could be detected on the surface of macrophages. Nevertheless , the distribution of TLR-2 molecule in the control group appeared to be randomly dynamic. It is evident that the Mth P19 not only can induce the surface expression of TLR-2 molecules, but also cause a functional aggregation of this receptor.

To observe the influence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 19-kDa lipoprotein (Mtb P19) on function and phenotype of macrophage,the Mtb P19 was prepared from cultured Mtb H37Ra and the phorbol myristate acetate-differentiated THP-1 cells were incubated with P19 at the concentration of 10 μg/mL with 5% CO_2 at 37℃ for up to 48 hours.Supernatants were collected for TNF-α and IL-6 detection by ELISA,then the phenotype fluorescent antibodies were stained to analyze HLA-DR expression changes between control group and experimental group.Flow cytometry and microscopy was used to assay the phagocytosis in macrophages stimulated by Mtb P19.IL-6 and TNF-α in collected supernatants were detected.Results indicated that both were found significant increases and their phagocytosis were enhanced.Comparing to the control group,the mean fluorescence intensity showed a significant increase 24hs after stimulation.It presents that Mtb P19 could be able to induce macrophages activation,and it would be significantly important for protection during infection period.

Taking the course's characteristics and advantages into account, this study explores the systematic implementation of standardized teaching rounds in the clinical probation sessions of the Dermatology and Venereology course , and evaluates its effect by analyzing the cases of 125 medical students from grade 2015 of Sun Yat-sen University . The results showed that the implementation of standardized teaching rounds has positive effect on the course.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of probiotics combined with bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) on clinical efficacy、gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora in Helicobacter pylori (HP) positive patients. MethodsThe patients who were positive for HP from May 2023 to July 2023 in the department of gastroenterology of Shanghai first people's hospital were randomly divided into2 groups with 40 people in each group. The probiotic group was given 2 weeks of quadruple therapy with probiotics and standard BQT, followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotics after quadruple discontinuation. The placebo group was given 2 weeks of probiotic placebo and standard BQT, followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotic placebo. 13C urea breath test was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy, gastrointestinal symptoms rating Scale was used to evaluate the gastrointestinal adverse reactions of patients before and after the intervention, and microbial diversity 16S rDNA sequencing technology was used to detect the level of intestinal flora of patients before and after the intervention. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the eradication rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale between the probiotic group and the placebo group. After the intervention, patients in the probiotic group had significantly lower pain scores on acid reflux (1.10±0.30 vs 1.35±0.53, P<0.05) and stomach or abdominal hunger than in the placebo group (1.07±0.26 vs 1.30±0.52, P<0.05). Through the before-and-after comparison of the probiotic group, the scores of abdominal pain (1.24±0.44 vs 1.58±0.71, P<0.05), stomach or abdominal hunger (1.07±0.26 vs 1.27±0.45, P<0.05) and dry and hard stool (1.24±0.49 vs 1.48±0.75,P<0.05) were significantly lower in the probiotic group than before the intervention in the probiotic group. ConclusionProbiotics combined with BQT can improve the gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora disorders in the process of quadruple drug therapy, but it does not improve the eradication rate of HP.
