Reccent investigations demonstrated that genetically modified tumor cells could be used as vaccines against cancer. In this light, we introduced human interleukin -2 (IL-2) gene into a poorly immunogenic rat fibrosarcoma cell line WBT, a human lung abenocarcinoma cell line AGZY and a highly metastatie sub - cell line Anip973 derived from AGZY. The transduced cells showed no obvious changes in morphology, growth and colony - forming ability in soft agar.Transduction with IL-2 gene rendered the cells more sensitive than the parental cells and cells transduced with NeoR gene alone to the lysis by cytotoxic lymphocytes. High levels of IFN and TNF were detected in the supernatants of cocultured lymphocytes and tumor cells containing IL-2 gene. Tumorigenicity of WBT/IL-2 cells was greatly reduced in syngeneic rats. Metastatic capacity of Anip973 in nude mice was blocked by the transduction of IL-2 gene, but not the transduction of NeoR gene alone. Inoculation of WBT/IL-2 cells conferred rats resistance to the challenge of parental WBT cells.Splenocytes from WBT/IL-2-inoculated rats restimulated with WBT cells in vitro showed high CTL activity against WBT cells. Our results demonstrated the potential application of tumor cells transduced with IL— gene as active vaccine against cancer.

Objective:Combined laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in the diagnosis and therapy of the female infertity is and advanced means in the gynecologcial field.We analysed the causes and the treatments of the 71 infertile patients.Pelvic adhesions,endometrosis and salpingtis were the main causes of infertity in our 71 cases.Of 71 cases,29 cases were primary infertity,in whichc endometriosis,PCOS and anatomic uterine defect were the main causes,and 42 cases were secondary infertity,in which 35 cases (83%) had previous intrauterine operations.All the patients were treated for the causes.We concluded that combined laparoscopy and hysteroscopy can diagnose the causes of infertity and can observe the tubal patency by hysteroscopic tubal cathertetization and hydrotubation,which will direct the treatments and estimate the results of the therapy.Methods:Infertity;Combined Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy.

Doctor's degree is the highest degree for medical education.Nowadays,medical doctor candidates in more and more medical universities are requested to publish research papers in intemational journals embodied in Science Citation Index(SCI),or they can not graduate with doctor's degree.So,it is significant for medical doctor candidates to learn the related knowledge about SCI and Impact Factor(IF).

Objective To define whether correlation exists between the enlargement of lateral ventricles and motor development delay. Methods Motor development was assessed with Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (PDMS) in 28 children with cerebral palsy. Correlation between computerized tomography (CT) findings of enlargement of lateral ventricles (ventricle index,body index,width index and frontal horn index) and motor quotients of PDMS(GMQ,FMQ and TMQ) was analyzed. Results Width index was correlated with all three motor quotients (GMQ,FMQ and TMQ)( P

Objective To study the changes and significance of HBV DNA and it's antigen and antibody in patients with liver transplanting.Methods 35 cases with liver transplanting in 302th hospital from Oct.2006 to Mac.2007 has been studied.The HBV antigen and antibody has been studied by ELISA in 188 samples including one from before transplanting and 4 to 7 from after transplanting.The quantitative of HBV DNA has been detected by real time PCR technology.45 cases of hepatitis B,whose sera HBV DNA is positive no more than 10 000U/ml,treated with lamifudine in 2 weeks about has been used in controls.Results 95(34/35)percent of liver-transplanting patients acquired serum-transfer in HbsAg to it's antibody,and 6 patients with HBeAg positive acquired from HbeAg to it's antibody in 2 days after transplanting.The HBV DNA in sera is distinguished of 34 cases from 35s in 6 months after liver-translpanting.Only one patient is insisting with HBsAg and HBV DNA positive.In lamifudine treatment controls,none of patients acquired sera-transferred from HBsAg to antibody in 45 cases.The HBV DNA is decreased from positive to negative under cove in 11 controls.29 cases of HBV DNA are decreased in 2 to 3 Log E after treatment with lamifudine.The HBV DNA is insisting in high levels in 5 patients.The HBeAg is negative in 29 cases after lamifudine treatment,but it's antibody is not acquired serum transferring.Conclusion The HBV DNA,HbsAg and HbeAg in patients with HBV infection may be transferred into negative forever transplanting with healthy liver underlined in HBIG and lamfudine treatment.

In medical organic chemistry education, seven design method of introduction are put forward by using teaching art in educational segment, allowing students to enhance the study activity in lively atmosphere.

Objective　To explore left atrial(LA) structur e and function changes in 86 cases of essential hypertension disease (EH) and ef fects of age,gender,hypertension duration,hypertension stage and left ventricula r function on them.Methods　 Using M-mode echocardiogram to detect LA diameter, Usi ng ultrasonic acoustic quantification (AQ) to detect LA area,LA systolic and dia stolic function,LV systolic and diastolic function. Results　①Compared with normal group, LA diameter and LA area we re larger in EH group, LA systolic and diastolic function were impaired. ② Gend er had no effect on LA structure and functione in EH patients; LA diameter and L A area dilated with age, LA systolic function was impaired with age. ③ Hyperten sion duration had no effect on LA structure and function in EH patients. ④LA d iameter and area dilated with hypertension stage. With the development of hypert ension, LA diastolic function was first impaired,then LA systolic function was a lso impaired.⑤LA structure and function had signifficant relationship with LV d iastolic function, LA might dilate and LA systolic function might be impaired wi th LV diastolic function damage.Conclusions　LA diameter and LA area are dilated and LA function i s impaired in EH patients, which changes become more signifficant with age. LA s tructure change and systolic function impairment have a relationship with LV dia stolic dysfunction.
