Objective: To detect the expression and distribution of activated cytotoxic cells in types of lymphoma with tissue microarray,and provide evidences for clinical treatment and prognosis. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining by S-P technique was used for detecting the expression and distribution of perforin and granzyme B in lymphoma tissue microarray,composed of 60 samples of lymphoma tissue.10 NK/T-cell lymphoma routine sections were used for relative research,and 10 reactive hyperplasia were used for comparison. Results: In the tissue microarray,samples originated from intranode and extranode were 48 and 12,respectively;consisting of 42 B-cell lymphoma,16 T-cell lymphoma(10 PTCLs,2 NK/T-cell lymphomas,2 lymphoblastic T-cell lymphomas,2 anaplastic large cell lymphomas),2 Hodgkin's disease.42 samples of B-cell lymphoma cells were negative in perforin and granzyme B.In 10 samples of peripheral T-cell lymphoma,perforin and granzyme B positive were 8 and 9,respectively,but the positive cells were no tumor cells.In 12 samples of NK/Tcell lymphoma(2 in the tissue microarray,10 routine sections),both perforin and granzyme B were strongly positive.B-cell lymphoma,T-cell lymphoma and NK/T-cell lymphoma differed significantly(P

Objective To construct an eukaryotic expression vector of pre-miR-15a,and to investigate the inhibitory effect of pre-miR-15a to Raji cells. Methods The pGCSIL-GFP vector encoding pre-miR-15a nucleotides was transfected into the bacterial competent cells,and then confirmed by PCR and sequencing analysis. The identified vector was transfected into Raji cells with oligofectamine 2000. The cells were divided into 3 groups,blank,negative control and pre-miR-15a group. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA,and immunofluorescence indirect for Bcl-2 protein expression. The growth of Raji cells was assayed by trypan blue dye exclusion method. Results PCR and sequences analysis indicated that the recombinant clones was identical with target sequences. Many green fluorescent cells were observed under fluorescent microscopy. The levels of Bcl-2 mRNA at every group had no obviously difference. Bcl-2 protein expression was obviously decreased at pre-miR-15a group compared with the other groups. Trypan blue dye exclusion method showed the cell growth was inhibited at 48 h and 72 h post-transfection. Conclusion We successfully construct the eukaryotic expression vector of pre-miR-15a,and it can inhibit the growth of Raji cells.

Objective To discuss the early recognition and treatment of group B streptococcus (GBS) infection caused neonatal meningitis and subdural effusion. Method The onset, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment process were retrospectively analyzed in one case of typical GBS infection caused neonatal meningitis and subdural effusion. Results The subject was late-onset GBS infection, with insidious onset, rapid progress, slow clinical recovery, and highly sensitive to vancomycin. During the treatment, the subject had relapses. The subdural effusion had been found. After extension of vancomycin treatment, the subject recovered. Conclusions The late onset GBS infection should be taken seriously in clinical, pay attention to the complications such as purulent meningitis, subdural effusion, hydrocephalus, and be early treated with adequate and effective antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE To provide evidence for decision on the risk factors of nosocomial infection in diabetes.METHODS To search CMBdisc and CHKD supplemented by information from trial registers,8 epidemiological studies on the risk factors of nosocomial infection on diabetes from 1997 to 2004 were analyzed synthetically by meta analysis.RESULTS Through analysis age,course,hospitalization days,blood sugar,wound check,and(antibiotics) utilization were of the significant statistical difference.Risk,sex and complication were of no significant statistical difference.CONCLUSIONS The factors of nosocomial infection on diabetes are age,course,(hospitalization) days,blood sugar,wound check,and antibiotics utilization.But this meta analysis only included domestic(papers).There need enough evidence to support the result and may justify further research.

Objective To observe the regulatory effect of glycyrrhizin on the expression of IFN-γ and TNF-β in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with alopecia areata.Methods PBMCs were obtained from 18 patients with mild alopecia areata,24 patients with severe alopecia areata and 20 normal human controls,and cultured with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or the combination of PHA and glycyrrhizin for 24 hours.Then,reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was conducted to detect the mRNA expression of IFN-γand TNF-β in these cells.Results The mRNA expression levels of IFN-γand TNF-β in PBMCs were significantly higher in patients with severe alopecia areata than in those with mild alopecia areata and normal human controls (all P ＜ 0.05),and higher in patients with mild alopecia areata than in normal human controls (both P ＜ 0.05).A significant decrease was observed in the mRNA expressions of IFN-γ and TNF-β in the PBMCs from patients with alopecia areata after stimulation with the combination of PHA and glycyrrhizin (both P ＜0.05).Conclusion Glycyrrhizin can inhibit the expression of Th1-type cytokines and reverse Th1-type immune response.

Objective To study the improving effect of testicular tissue graft on impaired learning and memory in endocrine recession mice,and to explore the possible mechanisms.Method Forty Kunming male mice were randomly divided into four groups by random number table:sham operation group,castration group,androgen (30 mg/kg) control group and testicular tissue graft group.The bilateral testes of mice were cut off to establish castrated mouse model.After modeling,the back subcutaneous muscle layers of castrated mice were implanted on the allogeneic testicular tissue blocks in graft group.Androgen group mice were intragastrically administrated with androgen for three months,and other two groups of mice were given an equal volume of normal saline At the end of treatment,the levels of serum testosterone in each group of mice were measured by ELISA.Learning and memory abilities of the mice were assessed by Morris water maze behavioral test.Morphological changes in the hippocampal CA1 region were observed through hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE).The expression levels of AR and apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2,Bax,caspase-3 and caspase-9) in the brain were detected by Westem blotting.Result As compared with castration group,the levels of serum testosterone in graft group were increased significantly (P＜0.01),learning and memory abilities were greatly strengthened (P ＜ 0.01),the morphological structures in hippocampal CA1 neurons were improved,and the expression levels of Bax,caspase-3 and caspase-9 were significantly reduced (P＜0.01),while the expression levels of AR and Bcl-2 had obvious enhancements (P ＜0.01).Conelusion Testicular tissue graft can improve learning and memory ability probably by secreting endogenous testosterone which will bind with androgen receptor in the brain,then regulating the expression of neuronal apoptosis related genes,increasing Bcl-2 protein level and reducing the expression of Bax,caspase-3 and caspase-9 protein,and finally inhibiting neuronal apoptosis.

Objective This study aims to investigate the post-transcriptional regulatory effects that control proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion in pediatriccholesteatoma keratinocytes.In particular, the potential role of miR-21was focused on in this study.Methods A total of 23 pediatric cholesteatoma tissues were processed for cell culture.Pediatriccholesteatoma keratinocytes were transfected with miR-21 inhibitors, or negative control miRNAs.RT-PCR was used to assess the expression levels of miR-21.EdU incorporation assay and TUNEL staining were used to assess the proliferation and apoptosis of pediatric cholesteatomakeratinocytes, respectively.Results MiRNA-21 was downregulated when pediatric cholesteatoma keratinocytes were transfected with miR-21 inhibitors.Furthermore, the number of proliferative EdU+cells decreased in cholesteatoma keratinocytes transfected with miR-21 inhibitors;and the number of TUNEL-positive cells also increased in cells transfected with miR-21 inhibitors, compared with cells transfected control miRNA.Conclusion MiRNA-21 promotes the proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of pediatric cholesteatoma keratinocytes.

Objective To evaluate the prognosis capacity of the Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI) risk score for 6 months mortality in the clinical patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in addition to asses the incremental value of EF and multivessel disease for risk stratification. Methods Six clinical variables and their relative value of score derived from PAMI risk scoring system were used to determine individual's risk score. The patients with STEMI were evaluated during the in-hospital period and followed-up for a mean of (10.34?3.24) months for mortality. The p values were calculated using a Kruskal-Wallis H test for categorical variables when appropriate; otherwise Independent-samples test was used. Logistic regression examined the discriminant accuracy of the PAMI risk score to predict death and assessed the incremental value of the EF and multivessel disease. Results A 88.8% of patients (183 patients) finished the follow up of 6 months. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 4.4%, 30-day mortality rate was 6% and 6 months mortality rate was 9.3%. Eighty-eight patients scored 0-2 points, 54 patients scored 3-5 points, 17 patients scored 6-8 points and 24 patients scored ≥9 points. The 6 months mortality were 1.1%,3.7%, 17.6% and 41.7% respectively. Logistic regression analysis indicated that multivessel disease is a risk factor (OR 10.189) and EF is a protected factor (OR 0.849) for 6 months mortality after PCI. Multivessel disease and EF provided incremental information over that provided by the PAMI risk score. Conclusion The PAMI risk score can be applied in early stage after PCI for mortality risk assessment for patients with STEMI. EF and multivessel disease also convey important prognostic information and should be included in risk stratification after STEMI.

The results of the current studies demonstrated that the combined use of IL - 2 and IL - 7 could augment the in vitro proliferative responses of tumor - specific T cell lines and clones to antigen stimulation, increasing stimulation induces 6 to 8 times greater than using either IL - 2 or IL - 7 alone. Antigen - driven T cells maintained in culture using this combined cytokine regimen can be induced to grow and maintained functional in large numbers and survive long-term in cultrue with each antigen restimulation cycle prolonged to six weeks. The IL-2 doses used in this combined cytokine regimen can be reduced 10 to 100 times that of cultures using IL-2 alone. Thus, the combined use of IL-2 plus IL-7 is effective for procuring large numbers of antigen - specific functional T cells in vitro.
