BACKGROUND:Liquid chip techniques (Luminex) is a recently rising method for detecting anti-panel reactive antibody, which is characterized by high sensitivity, and strong specificity, less interference and high flux.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the sensitivity and detection difference of panel reactive antibody in serum of kidney disease patients detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Luminex.
METHODS:Serum samples of 280 patients with kidney disease were selected. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Luminex methods were used to measure positive rate of panel reactive antibody. Chi-square test for fourfold table data was utilized for statistical analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The positive rates of panel reactive antibody were respectively 18.9%and 33.6%as detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Luminex method. The positive rates of anti-HLA-I antibody and anti-HLA-II antibody were respectively 12.8%and 12.5%, as detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The positive rates of anti-HLA-I antibody and anti-HLA-II antibody were respectively 25.0%and 20.7%, as detected by Luminex method. Positive detection rate was significantly higher in the Luminex group than that in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay group. Moreover, Luminex method could precisely detect the low-concentration antibody. Chi-square test for fourfold table data showed P<0.01. Significant differences in the differences of panel reactive antibody of kidney disease patients were detected between the two methods. Results demonstrated that compared with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Luminex method is more sensitive and accurate, and more suitable for clinical detection.

Background and purpose:Retinoic acid-induced gene G (RIG-G) is a tumor suppressor gene which is cloned by NB4 cell line from a acute promyelocytic leukemia cell. This study aimed to investigate the effect ofRIG-G in lung cancer cells A549 by constructing a lentiviral vector expressing RIG-G under doxycycline (DOX) regulation.Methods:RIG-G gene ampliifcation was performed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). pLenti6/TO/V5-GIM-RIG-G lentiviral vector withGFP was built by LR recombination system. The concentration of pLenti6/TO/V5-GIM-RIG-G lentiviral vector andTet-on lentiviral vector were measured by virus titer method. After infecting A549 cells, stably transfected lines were selected via limiting dilution analysis.RIG-G gene expression was examined by immunolfuorescence staining and Western blot assay. Cellular proliferation was determined by CCK-8 assay.Results:The concentrations of pLenti6/TO/V5-GIM-RIG-G lentiviral vector andTet-on lentiviral vector were 1.0×108TU/mL and 4×109 VP/mL, respectively. RIG-G was expressed in lentivirus infected A549 cells after adding DOX, and the amount of cells withGFP could be observed by lfuorescence microscopy.After the expression of RIG-G protein, the prolif-eration activity of A594 cell was signiifcantly inhibited compared to the control group (1.168±0.107vs 2.099±0.162, P<0.05).Conclusion:The regulated expression ofRIG-G gene was established in A549 lung cancer cell line. The RIG-G protein has potential abilities to inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cell A549.

Cerebrovascular disease, also known as a cerebral vascular accident, is named “stroke” in traditional Chinese medicine, there is close correlation between acute cerebrovascular disease and gastrointestinal system. In this paper, we discussed 3 parts about the relationship between the gastrointestinal system and brain. First, in the traditional Chinese medicine theory, there is close relationship between gastrointestinal system and brain from the physiological function and Meridian theory. Secondly, clinical practice indicated that heat phlegm fu-organ syndrome is the main syndrome of acute cerebrovascular disease. The main symptom of this syndrome is the constipation, which is an important part of the disease transition. Furthermore, in acute cerebrovascular disease, the brain-gut peptide esp. CCK and surface colonic electrical physiological changes are the material and electrophysiological basic on the relationship between gastrointestinal system and brain.

Objective:To investigate the mechanisms of IL-1β promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. Methods: The“Transwell? Inserts” system was used to coculture lung cancer cells A549,NCI-H520 with macrophages. BrdU ELISA used to measure the effect of macrophages promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. Expression of mRNA of IL-1β in A549 and NCI-H520 cells were analysed by Real-time PCR analysis. IL-1β was responsible for macrophage-promoted lung cancer cells growth, IL-1β neutralizing antibody was added. The autophagy marker Beclin1 protein was detected by Western blot. Results:The BrdU ELISA assay showed that after coincubation with macrophages in the proportion of 1:0. 5,the OD value of A549 increased from(0. 41±0. 06)to(1. 13±0. 10). There was statistical significance(P<0. 05). It also showed that the growth of the A549 cell was dependent on the macrophage number (P<0. 05). The OD value variability of NCI-H520 cells was as same as A549 cell upon cocultured with macrophages. Real-time PCR results showed that the expression of IL-1β mRNA in macrophages was remarkably enhanced in a time dependent manner upon coincubated with lung cancer cell,and the expression level was higher than lung cancer cells. Addition of IL-1β neutralizing antibody markedly inhibited macrophage-promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. The OD value of these two cells were decreased from ( 3. 63 ± 0. 33) to (1. 46±0. 18),from (2. 94±0. 38) to (1. 53±0. 20),respectively (P<0. 05). After treatment with IL-1β,the expression of Beclin1 was significantly inhibited in tumor cells. Conclusion:Over-expression of IL-1βfrom macrophages and lung cancer cells is re-sponsible for proliferation of tumor cells in coculture condition. Inhibition of autophagy in tumor cells may be the important mechanisms of IL-1β promotes lung cancer cells proliferation.
