Two kinds of mouse monoclonal antibodies which recognize distinct epitopes of the IL-2 receptor (a chain) were used to establish a sandwich ELISA for measuring soluble IL-2 receptors. The results indicated that this method is sensitive and specific for detecting soluble IL-2 receptors of cell culture supernatant and serum from both healthy donor and patients with leukemia. Therefore this sandwich ELISA method is useful for basic and clinic immunology research.

We obtained human lymphoblastoid B cells secreting human antibodies IgM and IgG to HFRS virus by Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)transfomation of PBMC.Conditioned media from the supernatant of a human fibroblast cell CRL1506 culture and irradiated CRL1506 cells as feeder cells could markedly promote the growth and antibody produotion of the human B lymphoblastoid cells at low cell density.It was shown that conditioned media contained a high level of interleukin 6(IL-6) .These results would be very useful for human monoclonal antibody technique including improving human B lymphoblastoid cell growth at low cell density and enhancing cloning efficiency andantibody production.

To study the changes in vestibular function in Parkinson's disease patients, and its significance, eletronystagmography (ENG) was used to examine 54 patients with Parkinson's disease, and also 20 hea thy elderly subjects. The results of vestibular function tests including sensory organization test, nystagmus test, cold caloric test and positional test of these two groups were recorded for statisticed analysis. It was found that the rate of vestibular dysfunction in Parkinson's disease patients were 81 4%, and that of the controls 30%. There was significant difference between the two groups ( P

The characteristics of master dissertation topics in medical library and information science and their se-lection methods were analyzed with the dissertations published since 2004 as the study object.The challenges and development trend in training of qualified personnel of medical library and information science were summarized , which may provide certain evidence for the training of masters in medical library and information science .

Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI) is an improved and optimizing nuclear medicine breast imaging technique on the basis of traditional gamma camera. It uses a high resolution, small field-of-view scintilla detector. The detector is designed with 3 073 individual detector crystals and 48 position-sensitive photomultiplier tubes. The FOV of detector is 15 cm x 20 cm, and optimal system resolution for breast imaging is 3 mm, can detect the diameter of only 2-3 mm small lesions. BSGI has better sensitivity in detecting subcentimetre or nonpalpable breast cancer. The sensitivity for the diagnosis of breast cancer is high, not influenced by the density of the breast tissue, implants, architectural distortion-or scars from prior surgery or radiation. So it is called a high resolution, small field-of-view breast-specific gamma camera.

Most anticancer drugs inhibit tumor cell growth by inducing apoptosis.Apoptosis-evasion,also enhancement of anti-apoptosis ability(e.g.anti-apoptosis related genes over-expression or pro-apoptotic related genes loss,etc.)may lead to tumor cell multidrug resistance.Many researches show that apoptosis-evasion is one of the important factors resulting in tumor multidrug resistance.

Objective To observe the effects of CEJS combined with chemotherapy on the expression of VEGF in lewis lung carcinoma.Methods Tumor xenografts models were set up and randomly divided into five groups including control group,CTX CEJS,high-dose CEJS joint CTX(combination group 1),and middle-dose CEJS joint CTX(combination group 2).Paraffin imbedding and HE staining were performed,and the tissue Shape was observed by microscope after section.The expressions of VEGF in five groups were determined by immuno-histochemistry.Results The expression level of VEGF could be significantly down-regulated in CTX or combination group 1 and 2,compared with the control group(P＜0.05):CEJS group had no significant difference to the control group(P＞0.05);The average optical density in the combination group 1 and 2 showed no significantly difference to the CTX group(P＞0.05).Conclusion The inhibition of CEJS could not down regulate of the expression of VEGF,but CEJS could keep the affection of chemotherapy drugs on VEGF.

Objective To investigate the relationship of MTP gene variation with type 2 diabetic angiopathy. Methods PCR and restriction-fragment-length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) analysis and gene sequencing were used to investigate the influence of a common MTP gene polymorphism in promoter region on diabetic macroangiopathy. Results (1) A single nucleotide mutation of G→T was detected at 493 bp of upstream from the transcriptional start point.There was a significant difference in genotype frequency(χ2=9.162,P=0.01) and T allele frequency(χ2=10.322,P=0.001) between macroangiopathy group and non-macroangiopathy group.(2) MTP-493 TT group had the significantly higher serum levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, VLDL-C and lower HDL-C than other genotype groups.(3) Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that T allele, age, disease duration, diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol were independent risk factors against type 2 diabetic macroangiopathy.The HDL-C level was negatively related with diabetic macroangiopathy. Conclusions MTP-493 TT genotype may be deeply involved in production of atherogenic dyslipidemia and associated with development of macroangiopathy in type 2 diabetic subjects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of early postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy.MethodsThe clinical data of 159 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from March 2005 to October 2010 was analyzed retrospectively.The related factors of early postoperative complications were analyzed.ResultsThe incidence rate of early postoperative complications was 30.8％ (49/159).Univariate analysis showed that preoperative fasting blood glucose level,total serum bilirubin level,serum albumin level,high density lipoproteins level and intraoperative bleeding were closely correlated with early postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (P ＜ 0.05),but gender,age,preoperative jaundice,history of diabetes mellitus,operation time and whether portal vein reconstruction were no significantly associated with early postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (P ＞ 0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative fasting blood glucose level( ≥6.1 mmol/L),total serum bilirubin level ( ≥ 171 μ mol/L) and serum albumin level( ＜ 35 g/L) were the important independent risk factors of early postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.ConclusionThe risk factors of pancreaticoduodenectomy should be fully recognized and dealt with promptly.

The status of health care for elderly in 110 community health service (CHS) centers of Bao'an District was surveyed.Data were collected from directors,health care managers and health workers in CHS centers by questionnaire.The results showed that the establishment of health file was satisfactory.but the management of health file needed to be strengthened,particularly for those required special care.The nutritional and psychological counseling should be specially focused.
