Objective To explore the potential mechanism of severe liver injury shortly after withdrawal of antiviral therapy in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.Methods Forty-nine patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection from the Department of Infectious Diseases of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University and 8 healthy volunteers from August 2014 to March 2015 were included in this study.All of them were human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2-positive.CHB patients were classified into three groups,including 15 cases in immune-tolerance group,20 cases in sustained antiviral treatment group,and 14 cases in recurrence of drug withdrawal group.The frequency of peripheral HLA-A0201-restricted hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg)18-27 pentamer complex specific CD8+ T cells in CHB patients was analyzed by flow cytometry.Enzyme linked immunospot assay(ELISPOT) was used to detect interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) secretions of HBcAg18-27-specific CD8+ T cells.The experimental data were analyzed using non-parametric U tests.Results In healthy control group,immune-tolerance group,sustained antiviral treatment group and recurrence of drug withdrawal group,the frequencies of HBcAg-specific CD8+T cells were (0.17 ± 0.16) ％,(1.46±0.72)％,(3.24± 1.60)％ and (4.67±2.43)％,respectively.Compared with healthy control group,the difference were all statistically significant in the three groups (Z=-3.583,-4.018 and-3.823,respectively;all P＜0.01).The frequencies of HBcAg-specific CD8+T cells in immune tolerance group or recurrence of drug withdrawal group were both significantly different from that in sustained antiviral therapy group (Z=-3.400 and-2.030,respectively;both P＜0.05).The difference between immune-tolerance group and recurrence of drug withdrawal group was also significant (Z =-3.230,P＜0.01).The secretion levels of IFN-γ of HBcAg-specific CD8+T cells in healthy control group,immune-tolerance group,sustained antiviral treatment group and recurrence of drug withdrawal group were2 (0-6),16 (2-53),106 (14-254) and 156 (28-395) spot forming cell (SFC)/106 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC),respectively.The differences between healthy control group and immune-tolerance group,sustained antiviral treatment group or recurrence of drug withdrawal group were all statistically significant (Z=-3.585,-4.069 and-3.824,respectively;all P＜0.01).The IFN-γ level of HBcAg-specific CD8+ T cells in recurrence of drug withdrawal group was significantly higher than that in sustained antiviral therapy group (Z=-2.205,P=0.027),and that in sustained antiviral therapy group was significantly higher than that in immune-tolerance group (Z=-4.700,P＜ 0.01).The TNF-α levels secreted by HBcAg-specific CD8+ T cells in each group were 2 (0-5),16 (2-32),112 (15-283),and 195 (55-537) SFC/106PBMC,respectively.The differences between healthy control group and immune-tolerance group,sustained antiviral treament group or recurrence of drug withdrawal group were all statistically significant (Z=-3.619,-4.069 and-3.824,respectively;all P＜0.01).The TNF-α level secreted by HBcAg-specific CD8+T cells in recurrence of drug withdrawal group was significantly higher than that in sustained antiviral therapy group (Z=-2.449,P=0.014),and that in sustained antiviral therapy group was significantly higher than that in immune-tolerance group (Z=-4.350,P＜0.01).Conclusions The changes of frequency and immune function of HBcAg-specific CD8+T cells in CHB patients may be one of the reasons causing severe liver damage after irregular withdrawal of nucleoside analogues.

[Objective]To explore the correlation of the expression of alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)mRNA in the peripheral blood and postoperative survival and metastasis of patients with liver cancer.[Methods] A total of 66 patients with liver cancer who received radical resection surgery from January 2005to December 2006 was enrolled in this study.The cell total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood and the expression of AFP mRNA was detected by nested PCR.All the patients were followed up for 60 months after surgery.[Results]The expression rate of AFP mRNA in the peripheral blood was 40.91％(27/66).The expression of AFP mRNA in the peripheral blood in patients with liver cancer was significantly related to microvascular invasion and metastasis(P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01),but the expression had no relationship with sex,age,HBV infection,cirrhosis,AFP concentration,tumour size and number,and Edmondson grading(P＞0.05).The overall 1,2,and ＞ 3 years survival rates of patients with positive AFP mRNA after surgery were 66.7％(18/27),38.9％(7/18),28.6％(2/7),respectively.The overall 1,2,and ≥3 years survival rates of patients with negative AFP mRNA after surgery were 84.6％(33/39),60.6％(20/33),45.0％(9/20).There was statistical significance between the survival rates of AFP mRNA-negative patients and AFP mRNApositive patients(P ＜ 0.01).[Conclusions] The detection of AFP mRNA in the peripheral blood may provide clue for early microscopic metastasis.It can be a prediction index for postoperative recurrence.

Ovarian epithelial carcinomas are the most common lethal gynecological malignancies. Ovarian carcinomas are divid-ed into Types I and II based on different morphologies, genetic alterations, and biomarker expression. Low-grade micropapillary serous carcinoma are Type I tumors. Type I tumors are slow growing, generally confined to the ovary at diagnosis, and with better prognosis. These tumors develop from well established precursor lesions that are termedborderlinetumors. Type 1 tumors are genetically stable and are characterized by mutations in a number of different genes including KRAS, BRAF, PTEN, and beta-catenin. Type II tumors are rapidly growing and highly aggressive neoplasms, for which well defined precursor lesions have not been described. They may arise in the fimbrial epithelium of the oviduct with advanced stage, more aggressive behavior, and worse prognosis. High-grade serous carcino-ma belongs to Type II tumors. This group of tumors has a high level of genetic instability and is characterized by TP53 mutation. Hence, ovarian cancer comprises a heterogeneous group of tumors with distinctly different histological characteristics, molecular genet-ic features, and clinical course.

Objective To study the In vitro expansion of human CD8+ CD28- suppressor T cells and their immunological regulatory effect.Methods Human CD8 + CD28- suppressor T cells were expanded in vitro driven by the combination of cytokines and allogeneic antigen presenting cells (APCs).Flow cytometry was used to assess the development of CD28- subpopulation.Expanded CD8+ CD28- T cells were isolated by immunomagnetic microspheres and then added as third part modulators into mixed lymphocyte culture to assess their immunological regulatory characteristics.Results The combination of cytokines included IL-2,IL-7 and IL-15 and allogeneic APCs could increase the portion of CD8 + CD28- T cell subtype,and expansion fold of CD8+ CD28- T cell subtype was significantly increased as compared with others (P＜0.05).Expanded CD8+ CD28- T cells could suppress the proliferation of CD4+ T cells stimulated by allogeneic APCs.Moreover,this suppression had antigen specificity.Conclusion Human CD8 + CD28- suppressor T cells can be in vitro expanded in large amounts driven by the combination of cytokines and allogeneic APCs.Expanded CD8 + CD28- T cells in this study have antigen specific regulatory characteristics.

Objective To investigate the influence of intravenous infusion by double-lumen peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)on continuous dynamic central venous pressure(CVP)monitoring.Methods In the patient undergoing the double-lemon PICC,continuous dynamic CVP monitoring was performed by a lumen and the intravenous infusion was conducted by another lu-men.Whether the simultaneous venous infusion affecting the values of continuous dynamic CVP monitoring was observed.Results Intravenous infusion through double-lumen PICC had no influence on simultaneously continuous dynamic CVP monitoring (P>0.05),which could influence the values of CVP monitoring when simultaneously using the intravenous infusion pump(P<0.05). The speed of pumping fluid had no influence in a shout time(10 min),with significant difference(P>0.05).The CVP values could recovered to the status before infusion when continuously infusing after stopping using the infusion pump.Compared with before in-fusion,the CVP values after stopping intravenous infusion had no obvious change(P>0.05).Conclusion Intravenous infusion by double-lumen PICC has no influence on continuous dynamic CVP monitoring.But simultaneously adding infusion pump has certain influence on the CVP monitoring values.

Objective: To study left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) in patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and color Doppler echocardiography. Methods: The maximum velocity ( V max ) and time velocity integration(TVI) in early and late diastolic stage of mitral valve orifice of 80 patients with CAD and 79 normal subjects were measured by color Doppler echocardiography at apical 4 chamber view. Meanwhile, the V max and/or TVI of the myocardial motion spectrum of left ventricular lateral wall near the mitral valve annulet were measured by TDI. These data were compared and analysed by statistical method. Results: In the normal subjects, the older the subject, the lower the V max and TVI of early diastolic stage, the higher the V max and TVI of late diastolic stage. In CAD group, changes were not associated with ages and were affected by the degree of the myocardial pathology. The LVDF couldn't be exactly judged by color Doppler echocardiography when pseudonormalization blood flow spectrum appeared, but TDI technique was relatively sensitive. Any regional myocardial motion could be measured by TDI according to the examiner's design. Conclusion: LVDF by color Doppler echocardiography is simple and convenient. TDI technique can be used for determining overall LVDF and left ventricular systolic function. [

BACKGROUND: Many experiments have proved that heavy-load movement training causes the acute increase of free radicals. The increase of endogenous free radicals and caused cellular and subcellular lipid peroxidation strengthening injure the structure and function of tissue cells, thereby, decrease motor ability. Sleep deprivation also causes the increase of oxygen free radicals.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes in malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in serum of acute exhaustive exercise rats following different time periods of sleep deprivation.DESIGN: A randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Laboratory of Exercise Sciences & Sports Medicine, Physical College, Hunan Normal University.MATERIALS: Thirty healthy male SD rats of clean grade, weighing about (220±13)g, provided by Experimental Animal Center of Hunan Agricultural University, were involved in this study.METHODS: This experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Exercise Sciences & Sports Medicine, Physical College,Hunan Normal University from April 2006 to May 2006. Thirty rats were randomized into 5 groups: blank control group,simple exercise group, sleep deprivation 24 hours group, sleep deprivation 48 hours group and sleep deprivation 72 hours group, with 6 rats in each group; Rats in the blank control group were allowed to sleep normally, but not do exercise; Rats in the simple exercise group were allowed to sleep normally and executed after acute exhaustive exercise; Rats in the sleep deprivation 24, 48 and 72 hours groups were deprived their sleep for 24, 48 and 72 hours,respectively, then they were executed after acute exhaustive exercise. Method of gentle handling was used in creating rat models of sleep deprivation; Rats in the simple exercise group and sleep deprivation groups were forced to do exercise according to the rat exercise model project established by Bedford: treadmill gradient 10°, speed 19.3 m/min, all the exercise rats were exhaustive (Exhaustion criteria: At the end of exercise, rats reached 1/3 of runway over 3 times;Various stimulations for expelling were invalid. After running, rats presented with breathlessness, expression lassitude,ventral decubitus, slow stimulus response, weaker escape response in being captured). After experiment, rats in each group were executed under the anesthetic state, and their blood was taken out, and centrifuged after natural clotting.Supernatant fluid was taken for detecting MDA and GSH levels as well as SOD activity.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes in MDA and GSH levels, and SOD activity in rat serum.RESULTS: Thirty rats were involved in the final analysis. ① MDA level in the simple exercise group was higher than that in the blank control group (P＜ 0.01). MDA level in the sleep deprivation 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours was higher than that in the simple exercise group, respectively (P ＜ 0.01). MDA level in the sleep deprivation 72 hours was statistically higher than that in the other sleep deprivation groups, respectively (P ＜ 0.01). ②GSH level in the simple exercise group was lower than that in the blank control group (P ＜ 0.01). GSH level in the sleep deprivation 24 hours group was higher than that in the simple exercise group [(P ＜ 0.01). GSH level in the sleep deprivation 24 hours and 48 hours groups was lower than that in the simple exercise group, respectively (P ＜ 0.05, 0.01). There were statistical differences in GSH level among sleep deprivation groups (all P＜ 0.01). ③ SOD activity in the simple exercise group was lower than that in the blank control group (P ＜ 0.01); SOD activity in the sleep deprivation 24, 48 and 72 hours groups was lower than that in the simple exercise group, respectively (P ＜ 0.01); SOD activity in the sleep deprivation 48 and 72 hours groups was significantly lower than that in the blank control group, respectively (P ＜ 0.01); There were statistical differences in SOD activity among sleep deprivation groups (P ＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Sleep deprivation can cause serumal oxidative stress injury of rats; With elongation of time of sleep deprivation and exhaustive exercise, oxygen free radical production in serum of rats accumulates more and more, ability to get rid of oxygen free radical becomes weaker and weaker, and injury to body is more and more obvious.Serumal oxidative stress status of acute exhaustive exercise rats following sleep deprivation
