1.Dendritic cells and tumor immunotherapy
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(10):755-758
In vivo,dendritic cells(DCs)are the most powerful antigen-presenting cells (APCs).DCs based neoplasm immunotherapy has recently become the focus of research.DCs can be used not only as separate cell vaccine to mediate anti-tumor immunity,but can also be combined with cytokines,immune cells,and other methods in tumor immunotherapy. In animal models and clinical trials,DC-based immunotherapy as well as other tumor immunotherapy strategies have gained more significant progress.
2.INVESTIGATION OF THE FATTY ACID COMPOSITIONS OF SERUM CHOLESTERYL ESTERS IN THE POPULATIONS OF SOME DISTRICTS AND NATIONALITIES IN CHINA
Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1956;0(03):-
Fatty acid compositions of cholesteryl esters in 113 male adults of 4 nationalities in 5 districts in China were analyzed. Fatty acid patterns of cholesteryl esters in different population groups were similar, though some variations were observed which seemed to be caused by the difference in diet. The correlations of serum cholesteryl ester fatty acids with the quality and quantity of dietary fat and with the serum lipid levels were discussed.

Objective: To investigate the effect of pricking blood therapy on behavior and brainstem c-fos and c-jun gene expression in migraine rats. Methods: A rat model of migraine was made with nitroglycerol. The rats were treated by pricking blood. Rat behavior was observed. Brainstem c-fos and c-jun gene expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results: Ear redness improved significantly, the number of head scratchings decreased obviously (P<0.05) and c-fos and c-jun expression was reduced markedly (P<0.01) in the treatment group after pricking blood compared with the model group and the blank group. Conclusion: Pricking blood treatment can improve behavior indices and reduce c-fos and c-jun positive expression in migraine rats.

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of the combination of intracoronary tirofiban infusion(ICTI) plus percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEAMI). Methods The 128 cases with STEAMI were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into trial group and control group. The 10 μg/kg tirofiban were infused into the infarct related artery (IRA) within 5 minutes through the cather after coronary angiography in trial group (n=64). Normal saline in matched dose was infused into IRA after coronary angiography in control group (n=64). The coronary thrombosis and revascularization status were assessed within 10 minutes after injection. Postoperative bleeding complications were observed in all cases. Adverse cardiovascular events and cardiac function were followed up within 1 month in all cases. Results There were 33 cases whose thrombus burden was reduced within 10 minutes after the infusion of tirofiban in trial group, including 26 cases of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) ≥1. There were 6 cases whose thrombus burden was reduced within 10 minutes after the infusion of normal saline in control group, including 3 cases TIMI ≥ 1. The coronary thrombosis and revascularization status were better in trial group rather than in control group (P<0.01). Adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 5 cases within 1 month, including 2 cases in trial group and 3 cases in control group (P>0.05). New York heart association functional class and ejection fraction values were better in trial group rather than in control group within 1 month (P<0.05). Postoperative bleeding complications occurred in 14 cases by TIMI criteria , including severe and mild bleeding in 2 cases in trial group and 1 cases in control group (P>0.05), but no significant bleeding occurred in 8 cases in trial group and in 3 cases in control group (P<0.01). Conclusions The combination of intracoronary infusion of tirofiban plus PCI is effective and safe for thrombolysis and revascularization in IRA in patients with STEAMI.

BACKGROUND:It is unclear whether intramuscular injection of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells wil increase regeneration of normal myocardial cells and play adverse effects on normal myocardium. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of intramuscular injection of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on expression of the myocardial ki-67, phh3 and cTnT in normal Wistar rats. METHODS:A total of 60 male Wistar rats were divided into six groups randomly:normal group, solution group, supernatant group, low concentration group, moderate concentration group, and high concentration group. These groups were intramuscularly injected different liquid, respectively, as fol ows:PBS, DMEM, the supernatant of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with amount of 0.25×105, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with amount of 1.0×105, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with amount of 4.0×105 . After 4 weeks, each rats received the second same intramuscular injections of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Four weeks after the second injection, al rates were kil ed to obtain myocardial tissues which were fixed, embedded and sectioned. Final y, the ki-67, phh3 and cTnT expressions of the myocardium were detected by immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the normal group, negative expression of the ki-67 was observed in the caryon of myocardial cells, weak positive expression of the phh3 was observed in the caryon of myocardial cells, and positive expression of the cTnT was observed in the caryon of myocardial cells. Compared with the normal group, the expression of the ki-67, phh3 and cTnT in the myocardium had no significant difference among the other groups (F=1.076, 0.167, 0.300;P>0.05). Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells or the supernatant of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells via intramuscular injection have no effects on the expression of the ki-67, phh3 and cTnT in normal Wistar rats.

Objective To reproduce and validate the hexokinase reference method for glucose detection and compare other 5 routine glucose kits with this reference method. Methods The CDC hexokinase reference method for glucose detection was established and the performance was validated through testing a standard reference material (SRM) and participating in the IFCC ring-trial for reference laboratories for glucose evaluation. The CLSI EP 9-A2 protocol was used to compare the 5 routine glucose kits with the hexokinase reference method. Forty serum samples were analyzed by 5 routine kits and the hexokinase reference method. Results When SRM 965a was determined by the reference method,the bias of level 2 and level 3 were 0. 93%, -0. 23% respectively. The results for IFCC ring trial were within the accepted range. For the 5 routine kits, the confidence intervals of the predictive bias at the medical decision point Xc (Xc = 6. 11 mmol/L) were all within the range of defined acceptable error (10%) and the range of biological variation bias (6.9%). Conclusions The hexokinase reference method for serum glucose was reproduced in our lab. The serum glucose results measured with 5 routine kits were different from results detected with the reference method, but the bias was acceptable,and it will not affect the detection results.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of rosiglitazone on human leukemia cell line HL-60 in vitro.Methods Inhibition of HL-60 cell proliferation was shown by MTT array;cell cycle and apoptosis of human leukemia cell line HL-60 was detected by flowcytometry(FCM);expression of PPAR?,p21WAF1,Bax and bcl-2 was examined by SP immnocytochemical and western blotting.Results Rosiglitazone significantly inhibited proliferation of HL-60 cell and the inhibition effects had a dose-and time-dependence.The inhibition fraction of HL-60 cell to 100?mol/L rosiglitazone for 48h was 77%.Flow cytometry analysis revealed that proliferation of HL-60 cell treated with 10~100?mol/L rosiglitazone significantly inhibited.50~100?mol/L Rosiglitazone cold induce apoptosis of HL-60 cell.SP immnocytochemical found the nuclear translocation on PPAR?,and western blotting revealed that the Bax expression was increased,while the bcl-2 and NF-?B expression was decreased.The expression of PPAR?,Bax,bcl-2 and NF-?B had no change by GW9662,a specific inhibitor of PPAR?.Conclusion Rosiglitazone could induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells which may be involved in the activation of PPAR? and down-regulation of Bax and up-regulation of Bcl-2 and NF-?B protein.
