In autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (AITP) specific autoantibodies bind platelet GP via their Fab fragments. Both splenic CD5+ B and CD5- B cells produce platelet glycoprotein-specific antibodies. There is limited number of antigenic determinants, and the GP-specific autoantibodies are derived from a restricted number of B-cell clones in chronic AITP. Blocking co-stimulatory signals could induce platelet-specific T cell anergy. MMF could be used as a second line agent for the treatment of steroid-resistant AITP. Detection of plasma thrombopoietin levels play an important role in the differentiation of thrombocytopenic states caused by platelet destruction or due to bone marrow hypoplasia. Endogenous TPO level is also important on the differential diagnosis of ET and RT. Quinine- or heparin-dependent antibodies could induce thrombocytopenia. PCR-SSP is useful for the genotyping of the platelet-specific alloantigen HPA. Biotinylated platelets have an impaired response to agonists as evidenced by in vitro platelet aggregation tests.

BACKGROUND:Currently, what we know about exosomes is that it can be produced by a variety of cel s and transfer a variety of materials, producing subsequent function of regulation.
OBJECTIVE:To review the function of exosomes in mesenchymal stem cel differentiation, in order to provide reference for further in-depth study.
METHODS:With the key words of“exosome, mesenchymal stem cel , differentiation”in Chinese and English, respectively, a computer-based search was performed for articles published in CNKI, Medline and Embase databases from January 2001 to September 2016. After the initial screening, the reserved articles were further detailed, summarized and concluded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Exosomes are a kind of vesicles 40-100 nm in diameter, which can be secreted by a variety of cel types, containing functional products, such as functional protein, gene product, lipid and so on. As a bridge of adjacent cel s transferring functional products, exosomes are becoming an issue of concern in the microenvironment for cel interaction. In the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cel s, exosomes also play an indispensable role via pathway regulation.

Objective To investigate the effects of changes in protein bile sugar chain structure for differen-tiating benign and malignant biliary tract disease .Methods 100 patients with biliary tract diseases who were treated in Department of General Surgery ,Qingdao Haici Medical Group were selected in this study .According to benign or malignant biliary disease ,the patients were divided into control group ( benign biliary tract disease ) and observation group ( cholangiocarcinoma ) ,50 cases in each group .Two groups of patients with bile drops on the nitrocellulose mem-brane,through the comparison of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA),Datura stramonium agglutinin (DSA),lentil lectin (LCA),concanavalin A(CONA) positive rate of test,to explore the relationship between sugar chain of glycoprotein in bile and bile duct benign and malignant diseases .Results In control group,the positive rates of WGA,DSA,LCA, CONA agglutinin test were 22.0%,14.0%,2.0%,76.0%,those in the observation group were 76.0%,66.0%, 76.0%,82.0% respectively.No statistically significant difference between the two groups of CONA agglutinin test positive rate was observed(P>0.05).The WGA,LCA,DSA agglutination test positive rates in observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ,the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =29.17,28.17, 57.55,all P<0.05).Conclusion Changes in bile glycoprotein chain structure are closely related to benign and ma -lignant biliary tract disease ,positive rates of WGA ,LCA,DSA agglutination test can be used to determine the benign and malignant biliary disease ,it should be popularized in clinical practice .

Chinese teas of different trade names obtained from the Shanghai market were analyzed for vitamin contents. The carotene contents as reported previously showed a variation of over 8 folds. The vitamin B2 contents among 16 varieties of teas studied showed a variation from the maximal value of 3.48 mg% to a minimal value of 1.03 mg%, a difference of over 3 times; while the nicotinic acid contents of 15 varieties varied from a maximal value of 9.1 mg% to a minimal value of 6.5 mg%, a difference of only 50%. The vitamin C content of 22 varieties studied showed a maximal value of 105.6 mg% and a minimal value of 18.3 mg%, a difference of about 6 times. Green tea in general had higher vitamin C content than black tea. The moisture content of teas studied averaged 11.5%.Using the usual method of making tea, the watery portion contained vitamin B2 equivalent to 52-100% (averaged 80%) of the original content in teas and vitamin C equivalent to 53-100% (averaged 79%) according to the kinds of tea analyzed.

Objective To test the hypothesis that attachment of synovial cell to &?2-microglobulin modified with advanced glycation end products (ACE-?2m) would affect cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation.Methods Normal human synovial cells (type B cells) were isolated and plated in culture dishes coated with AGE-?2m or with normal extracellular matrix proteins (EMP). Adhesion was analyzed by counting the isotope-labelled cells. Spreading was tested using a light microscope and proliferation determined by 3H-TdR incorporation and counting the number of cells. Results Synovial cells adhered less effectively to AGE-?2m, ?2m and AGE-collagen than to the normal EMP (collagen and fibronectin). Cells interacting with AGE-?2m, ?2m or AGE-collagen also demonstrated less extensive spreading throughout the examined time intervals (60-120 minutes after plating), and decreased 3H-TdR incorporation and cell numbers after 72 hours of plating when compared to cells interacting with normal EMP. Conchusion AGE-?2m in amyloid may alter synovial cell behavior in situ in ways which cods contribute to the development of dialysis-related amyloidodsis(DRA).

To elucidate whether the mutations in X region of hepatitis B virus (HBV) might be responsible for the different clinical profiles in cases positive for antibody to hepatitis B e antigen. The nucleotide sequences of X gene regions in serum HBV were examined in 14 asymptomatic carriers (AsC) and 14 chronic active hepatitis (CAH) patients with antibody to hepatitis e antigen. The results showed that 12 of 14 AsCs (85.7%) had insertions, deletions or point mutations in nucleotide sequence of X region resulting in truncation of the X protein by creating frame shift mutation or a new stop codon, whereas no patient with CAH had those X gene mutations( P

Objective:To further study the pathogenesis of classic Schm orl′s nodes based on clinical practice.Methods:A patient with severe low back pain was found that the irregularity of the endplates and the presence of Schm orl′s nodes in L2 - 3 and L3- 4spaces in lumbar radiographs.Two painful intervertebral discs with Schm orl′s nodes in their superior or inferior endplates were identified by discography and pain provocation.Two foci of Schnorl′s nodes were rem oved in en bloc via a retroperitoneal approach for histological examination.Meanwhile,anterior intervetebral body fusion of painful discs were undertaken.Results:The radiographic manifestation of Schmorl′s nodes was the end- plate indentation.Schmorl′s nodes in CT scan was shown as a round- like or multicystic irregular zone of bone density with an indistinct sclerotic margin beneath the cartilaginous endplate,which was sim ilar to the typical CT changes of osteonecrosis.The histological examinations of en bloc slices of Schm orl′s nodes revealed subchondral osteonecrosis.Conclusion:The current study indicate classic Schm orl′s node shown in radiograph is osteonecrosis zone beneath cartilaginous endplate,suggesting the necessity of further study on Schmorl′s node form ation.
