Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a kind of opportunistic pathogen which can cause a wide range of serious infections clinically.These infections are often associated with the formation of biofilm, and are difficult to treat due to the complexity of mechanisms.Some studies have showed that genotype and phenotype of biofilm PA will change, and biofilm PA will aggregate together and secrete extracellular polymeric substance.Therefore, innate immune system could not recognize the camouflaged antigens.Besides, biofilm PA can secrete a variety of virulent factors to hamper the function of innate immune system.This article introduces the main chronic infection caused by PA biofilm and the relationship between biofilm PA and natural innate immune system.

Objective To investigate whether exogenic brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) can permeate placental barrier into fetus and further through fetal blood brain barrier(BBB) after transient ischemia. Methods Seventeen day pregnant rats were selected. The uterine arteries of the rats were clamped for 30 minutes in experimental group. BDNF labeled with 125 I was injected into the rats through caudal veins. The radioactivity of BDNF in different fetal organs was measured at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. Results 125 I BDNF was detected in amniotic fluid, placenta and fetal organs including brain, heart, lung, liver and kidney. This indicated that BDNF partly permeated placental barrier. The permeability of BDNF through placenta barrier and fetal BBB increased with the increased dose injected. BDNF reached the fetal brain through BBB under hypoxia eschemia condition. The rates of penetration of BDNF through placental barrier and BBB increased under the condition of fetal ischemia and hypoxia. Conclusions Exogenic BDNF may partly go through placental barrier and BBB into fetal brain, which makes it possible for BDNF to be a treatment for fetus suffered from ischemia and hypoxia.

AIM: To investigate the immunologic mechanism of CXC chemokine ligand 10(CXCL10) and its receptor CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3 ) involved in the process of endometriosis (EM). METHODS: Serum samples were collected from 3 groups; EM patients without operation (n = 76) , EM patients with operation (n = 10) and the normal control persons (n =76). CXCL10 and CA12S concentrations were detected by means of ELISA and chemilumino-metry. Cell surface antigens on the activated PBMC - CD3 and CXCR3, as well as CXCR3 subgene - CXCR3A and CX-CR3B were tested by flow cytometry (FC) and RT - PCR when PBMC was separated from women with EM ( n = 10) and without EM (n = 10), and then activated. RESULTS: Serum CXCL10 concentrations between three groups were signifi-canly different (P < 0.05). Compared to normal control group, although the supernatant CXCL10 concentration and CD3~+ /CXCR3~+ PBMC number in EM group has no significant difference (P >0.05) , highly expressed CXCR3B in EM group rather than CXCR3A was observed. CONCLUSION: CXCL10 in women with EM is low, indicating that it plays a vital role in the process of EM and immune system of the women with EM is defected and impaired. The immunoreactivity of PBMC from both EM patients and normal person is same to activated signal, but the productions are different: PBMC in EM group mainly express CXCR3B but PBMC in normal person mainly express CXCR3A after activation, which may be one of the immune mechanisms that EM escapes from immunological lethal effect of the infected host.
