Objective To lower immunogenesis of human adult islets,reduce the dose of immunosuppressors and promote wide development of transplantation of adult islets,isolated adult islets were in vitro pretreated.Methods Isolated adult islets were cultured at 24 ℃ for 2 days(24 ℃ group) or pretreated using MHC-II monoclonal antibody(monoclonal antibody and complements were added and cultivated for another day following one-day-24 ℃-culture,antibody group) as observation groups.Adult islets were cultured at 37 ℃ in CMRL 1066 medium plus 20 % fetal bovine serum for 2 days as control.The immunogenics of the islets was detected using lymphocyte-islet mixed culture(MILC) and immunohistochemical staining of HLA-DR and lymphocyte common antigen(LCA).The function and activity of the islets were identified using()~3H-leucine incorporation assay,insulin release test and in situ apoptosis assay.Results Compared with control,MILC stimulation index was remarkably lower in the antibody group(P(0.05)).The percentage of HLA-DR and LCA positive cells in the antibody groupand in the 24 ℃ group was much lower than that in control(All P

Objective To observe the effect of three immunosuppressive agents on the function of human adult islets of langerhans in vitro, and explore the suitable immunosuppressive protocols for human islet transplantation.Methods In vitro, the isolated and purified islets were incubated with the immunosuppressive agents (mycophenolic acid, sirolimus, and FTY720) at different concentrations for 24 h, then stimulated by glucose at low ((2.8) mmol/L) and high ((16.7) mmol/L) levels. The (insulin) release after stimulations was detected using ELISA kit, and stimulation index was calculated.(Results) In control group (no agents exposure), the insulin release were ((7.37)?(1.74)) ng/ml at low (level) and ((15.15)?(5.39)) ng/ml at high level respectively, with stimulation index achieved to (2.06)?(0.46). Compared to control group, treatment with mycophenolic acid led to dramatic reduction of (insulin) release (P

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic nephron sparing nephrectomy for renal tumor. Methods The data of 72 patients diagnosed as renal rumor and treated with laparoscopic nephron sparing nephrectomy were retrospectively analyzed.Procedure detailed as following:firstly,the renal tumor was exposed completely after routine institution of 4 passages;secondly,the tissue 3 cm around the tumor was labeled and then incised using cool scissors after Bulldog occlusion of the renal artery;thirdly,the lesion was covered with anti-bleeding gauze and then intermittently sutured using 1-0 absorbable Dixon suture and crossing Hem-o-lok. Results Operation time was 90-190 min,with warm ischemia time 12-40 min.Bleeding volume was 20-600 m1.with one intra-operative infusion and 4 post-operative infusions.Pathological diagnosis was clear cell RCC in 52 cases,angiomyolipoma in 14,chromophobe RCC in 5,and collective duct cancer in 1 case.Hospitalization time was 5-12 days.With 1-52 months follow-up,no tumor recurrence and metastasis was observed. Conclusions Treatment by laparoscopic nephron sparing nephrectomy for renal tumor could be safe and efficient,but operative experiences and skills are needed.The method of intermittent suture and crossing Hem-o-lok could be useful to shorten the operation time and reduce the complications.

With the development of bio-technological drugs, drug immunogenicity evaluation has become key factor of clarifying safety and efficacy of these drugs. It has become the focus to establish a stable and reliable evaluation system. Due to the advantages such as continuous real-time monitoring, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology has been widely used in bio-technological drugs immunogenicity assessments. Our study applied this technology to detect anti-drug antibody (ADA) of a recombinant human anti-rabies monoclonal antibody NM57 in the sera of 48 volunteers admitted in phase I clinical trials. This method could satisfy the basic requirements of detection of ADA.

Objective:To study the degree of recognition about the protection of traditional knowledge of Chi-nese medicine and its influencing factors among Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine students and provide scien-tific evidence for improving relevant policies.Methods: 1,162 college students were chosen by stratified cluster sampling from Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine and questionnaires were surveyed among them.Rank sum test and multiple linear regression model were used to explore the related factors on degree of recognition about the protection of traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine.Results: The overall cognition-scoring rate was 36.55％,and subscales in descending order by scoring rate were loss of traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine,international and domestic related protection systems.There were significant differences in scores between age groups,majors,grades,place of origin,family monthly income per capita,parents'educational background,moti-vation of applying for medical school,and whether they had taken the protection of traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine courses(P<0.05).Conclusion:The overall cognition-scoring rate among Shaanxi University of Chi-nese Medicine students was generally low.In order to motivate students to protect traditional knowledge of Chinese medicine and promote a healthy development of Chinese medicine,measures from national institution and school education should be conducted.
