The decoy receptor-3 ( DcR3 ) and glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 ( GAD65 ) recombinant adenovirus was construced and transduced into denlritic cells (DC). After the transduced DC were utilized to immunize NOD mice,the CD+8 T cells and blood glucose were analyzed. The results showed that recombinant adenovirus inhibited the proliferation and cytokine release of GAD65 specific T cells,and delayed the incidence of diabetes.Both interferon-γ[ (50.5±7.2)vs(95.4±6.9) and(91.2±6.5) pg/ml] and interleukin-2 [ (46.3±5.1 )vs ( 86.1 ±5.2 ) and ( 80.3 ± 7.3 ) pg/ml ] were decreased compared to those in negative and blank controls ( all P<0.05 ).The results suggest that DcR3 and GAD65 recombinant adenovirus might provide a promising way for gene therapy of type 1 diabetes.

Objective To analyze the detection rate of HBV serological makers in non-hepatic inpatients in the past six years. Methods Serum samples of 70 582 non-hepatic inpatients from three large hospitals were collected during 2003 to 2008. Serological markers of HBV ( HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, antiHBe and anti-HBc) were detected by the AxSYM MEIA system (Abbott Laboratories,Abbott Park,IL).Combining the test results of serological makers with other clinical data, several analysis models for this retrospective study were set up to evaluate the year-to-year changes in serological makers and the detection rates of each model. Results The order from high to low of detection rate of the 5 HBV serological markers was anti-HBc (55. 17% ), anti-HBs (49. 57% ), anti-HBe (28.42%), HBsAg ( 8. 92% ) and HBeAg (2. 12% ), and all of them had a downward trend in the past six years. The positive rate of HBsAg went down from 9. 30% (2003) to 8.70% (2008). The positive rate of HBsAg among people who were born after 1992 (2. 28% ) were significantly lower than that of the overall population (8. 92% ) and fell from 3.57%(2003) to 1.85% (2008). Each detection rate of all serological makers had male sexual side effect [HBsAg ( 12. 38%/7. 25% ), HBeAg ( 2. 72%/1.58% ), anti-HBc ( 56. 57%/53.43% ), anti-HBe (41.50%/28. 35% ) and anti-HBs (65.48%/50. 00% ), male/female]. The differences were statistically significant (Chi-square values of HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBc, anti-HBe and anti-HBs were 509.74,105.78, 69.66, 1 321.61 and 1 726.91, respectively; all P < 0. 01).Twenty-six models of HBV serological makers from 70 582 inpatients were summed up, and 8 models had positive rates geater than or equal to 1%. The "All Negative" model ranked No. 1 and had no significant change from year to year. During the past six years, models representing "A11 Negative" and "anti-HBs Positive alone" were mainly in individuals younger than or equal to 20-year-old, while the models representing "anti-HBc and/or anti-HBe,anti-HBs Positive" were mostly in people older than 20-year-old. The distribution curve of models representing "HBsAg, HbeAg and anti-HBc Positive" and "HBsAg, anti-HBc, anti-HBe Positive"etc. showed a bell-shape, covering the population from 20-year-old to 70-year-old. Conclusions The slowlydescending tendency of the detection rates of HBV serological makers was observed during the past six years.The detection rates of HBV in the younger generation decreased significantly. However, the HBV infection rates of overall population is still high, so it is a high time that we made continuous improvement for the serum HBV screening technique in order to reduce the HBV infection ratess.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of salmon calcitonin(sCT)and its effect on expression of calcitonin receptor(CT-R)in periaqueductal gray(PAG). Methods Rat models of neuropathic pain were prepared by chronic constriction injury(CCI). Thermal withdrawal latency(TWL)and mechanical nociceptive threshold(MNT)were measured using hot plate test and yon Frey monofilaments test. The distribution of CT-R in PAG was detected by immunohistochemical method. CT-R protein was quantitatively determined by western blotting. Fourty male SD rats were randomized into 5 groups: normal group, sham-CCI group, CCI group, CCI plussubcutaneous sCT group, and CCI plus microinjection of sCT into PAG group. Results TWL, MNT, andexpression of CT-R in PAG showed no difference between normal group and sham-CCI group(P>0. 05). TWL and MNT in CCI group were significantly lower than those in normal group(P<0.05), and expression of CT-R in CCI group was significantly higher than that in normal group(P<0.05). TWL, MNT and expression of CT-R in CCI rats increased significantly after sCT therapy(P<0. 05), and the effect was more marked in PAG injection group than subcutaneous injection group(P<0.05). Conclusions sCT raises the pain threshold and increase the expression of CT-R in PAG of CCI rats, while PAG injection showed more marked effect than subcutaneous injection.

Objective:
To establish a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry method for the detection of human plasma paraquat concentration.
Methods:
The plasma samples were pretreated with methanol to precipitate plasma protein, and then were separated by a Waters XBridge BEH HILIC column (2.5 μm, 2.1 mm × 100 mm) with acetonitrile-water containing 200 mmol/L of ammonium formate and 0.1% of formic acid as mobile phase and 0.4 mL/min of flow rate. The paraquat was monitored by ESI positive ion mode, multi-reaction ion monitoring (MRM) scanning, and m/z 186.1-171.1 as quantitative transition ion-pair. The plasma paraquat concentrations in patients were determined by the established method, and the clinical values of plasma paraquat concentration and severity index of paraquat poisoning (SIPP) were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
When the plasma paraquat concentration ranged from 50 to 10 000 ng/mL, the linearity was good (R 2 =0.997), and the lower limit of quantification was 50 ng/mL. The recovery rates and imprecisions of three quality control products at low (100 ng/mL), medium (2 000 ng/mL) and high (8 000 ng/mL) concentration levels all met the requirements, and no matrix effect was found. The pretreated samples were stable at room temperature for 6 hours, and the results were not affected by repeated freezing and thawing for 3 times. The SIPP of 31 poisoned patients was 17.76 (0.30-90.91) h·mg/L. The SIPP in dying patients was significantly higher than that in survival patients (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of SIPP was 0.889, and the optimal cut-off value was 11.679 h·mg/L.
Conclusion
The established method is sensitive, accurate, rapid and specific, and suitable for the detection of plasma paraquat concentration in patients.
