CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells are produced in the thymus and have anergic and immunosuppressive properties.Researchers measured the antibody level related with CD4+ CD25+ T cells,CD4+ CD25hi T cells,CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3 and CD4+ CD127 in regenerative anemia,leukemia,ITP,NHL,MDS.Then they got the conclusions that regulatory T cells decreased in the autoimmune blood diseases and increased in the neoplastic diseases.The regulatory T cells have great prospect in the treatment of autoimmune diseases,allergic diseases,transplant rejection,tumors and specific vaccination.

Objective To evaluate the influence of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the quantity and ratio of type 1 dendritic cells (DC1) and type 2 dendritic cells (DC2) in normal allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell graft donor peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM). Methods G-CSF treatment with 10 μg/kg per day for 5 days, the quantity, ratio of DC1 and DC2 in G-CSF primed allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell graft (G-PBSC) were detected in 11 donors, 20 donors in G-CSF primed allogeneic bone marrow stem cell graft (G-BMSC), 8 donors in unprimed PB, and 10 normal individuals in unprimed BM,respectively. by flow cytometry method. Results After treated by G-CSF, the mean BMDC2 was increased from 14.37×106/L to 29.68×106/L ( t = 2.433, P = 0.022) in control group, whereas BMDC1 count did not change (13.77×106/L vs 18.88×106L, t = 1.169, P = 0.251). The ratio of DC2 to DC1 was significantly higher in G-CSF treated donor BM (1.83±0.81 vs 1.12±0.32, t = 2.658, P =0.013). After G-CSF treatment of normal donor, the number of PBDC2 (14.92×106/L vs 26.76×106/L, t = 2.390, P = 0.029), and the ratio of DC2 to DC1 was increased (1.00±0.37 vs 2.02±1.43, t = 2.158, P = 0.044), but the number of PBDC1 was similar (14.21×106/L vs 18.02×106/L, t = 0.625, P=0.541). Conclusion G-CSF treatment of normal allogeneic HSC donor selectively increase the number of PBDC2 and BMDC2, but do not change PBDC1 and BMDC1.

Applying mitochondrial replacement technique to human assisted reproduction could benefit the fam-ilies with mitochondrial diseases and improve clinical outcomes of assisted reproduction in elderly patients. But it may also lead to a series of medical ethics issues such as the standardization and security of this technology, the conflict with the traditional ethical concepts, the determination of informed consent and confidentiality principles, the health development issues of the offspring, and commercial donation of eggs and so on. As for this, the relevant institutions should strictly control the indications when apply this technology, the government should formulate rele-vant laws and regulations. Simultaneously, it is important to strengthen supervision and management of social eth-ics, improve professional ethics of assisted reproductive personnel, and emphasize the correct guiding role of public opinion.

[Objeetive] To assess the reproducibility and accuracy of four ratios used to measure patellar height,named the Blackburne-Peel,Caton Deschamps,Insall-Salvati and modified Insall-Salvati,before and after totalknee arthroplasty.[Methods]The patellar height was measured,by means of the four ratios,on the pre-and post-operative lateral radiographs of 44 patients(45 knees)who had undergone total knee arthroplasty.Two independent observers measured the films sequentially,in identical conditions,totally 720 measurements per observer.[Results]Before operation there was greater interobserver variation using either the Insall-Salvati or modified Insall-Salvati ratios than that when using the Caton-Deschamps or Blackburne-Peel methods.This was due to difficulty in identifying the insertion of the patellar tendon.Before operation,there was a minimal difference in reliability between these methods.After operation the interobserver difference was greatly reduced using both the Caton-Deschamps and Blackburne-Peel methods,which used the prosthetic joint line,compared with the Insall-Salvati and modified Insall-Salvati,which refered to the insertion of the patellar tendon.[Conclusion]The theoretical advantage of using the Insall-Salvati and modified Insall-Salvati ratios in measuring true patellar height after total knee arthroplasty needs to be balanced against their significant interobserver variability and inferior reliability when compared with other ratios.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum cystatin C (CysC) levels and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods The patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled.Susceptibility weighted imaging was used to identify the presence of CMBs.Particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay was used to detect the levels of serum CysC.Results A total of 485 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 151 (31.1％) with CMBs.The level of serum CysC of the CMB group was significantly higher than that of the non-CMB group (1.24± 0.13 mg/L vs.1.02± 0.11 rmg/L; t=4.261,P＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the increased serum CysC level was an independent risk factor for the presence of CMBs in patients with acute ischemic stroke (each increase in one standard deviation,odds ratio 4.063,95％ confidence interval 2.142-8.127; P ＜0.001).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of CMBs in patients with acute ischemic stroke increased with the increasing serum CysC level after adjusting for other confounders (r2 =0.361,P =0.017).Conclusions In patients with acute ischemic stroke,the serum CysC levels are independently associated with the CMBs,and the number of CMBs increases with the serum CysC level.

Ginseng root saponins ( GRS ) was extracted from native ginseng.The dosage used was calculated according to the content of saponins.Immunosuppression in mice was induced in 15 days after implar- ting Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) subcutaneously in armpit, and in 5-11 days after implanting EAC into peritoneal cavity. GRS administered orally 50mg/kg- for 8 days did not prevent the atrophy of the thymus in tumor-bearing mice but rather aggravated it. GRS administered orally 50mg/kg for 14 days partially restored the suppressed phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages in tumor-bearing mice. GRS administered orally 50mg/kg for 6 days somewhat restored the suppression of hemolysin formation in tumor-bearing mice 5 days after implanting EAC, But GRS given in the same route and dosage for 9 days, showed no effect on the suppression of hemolysin formation. GRS administered orally 50mg/kg for 10 days partially restored the suppression of delayed hypersensitive reaction in tumor-bearing mice.

Objective To investigate the MSCT(multi-slice computed tomography) manifestation of different kinds of malignant tumor in Renal Sinus.Methods MSCT data of 31 patients with diferent kinds of malignent tumor in Renal Sinus were analyzed retrospectively.Results In our series,15 cases were renal pelvic carcinoma,and central mass in renal sinus with light or middle ehancement were revealed in their MSCT investigation,as well as pelvic filling defect and hydronephrosis to some extent were found in secretory phase of enhanced MSCT.10 cases were renal cell carcinoma with renal sinus invasion,and their MSCT muti-planar reconstruction showed the mass mainly located in renal parenchymal,with dramatical and heterogenous CT enhancement mostly,besides local oppression & latral destruction of pelvic wall were caused by renal pelvic invasion.2 cases leiomyosaocoma in renal sinus were big and had a sharp edge,after adminisration they demonstrated dramatical and heterogenous CT enhancement.3 cases were lymphnode metastasis located in renal sinus or renal gate,appeared as nodular lesion with CT enhancement,and hydronephrosis could be exsisted if renal pelvic were obstructed.1 case were retroperitoneal lymphoma,MSCT muti-planar recon-struction revealed a large retroperitoneal mass derectly invaded into renal sinus,with light or middle homogenous ehancement.Conclusion MSCT has advantages of high speed scan,excellent discrimination,and aplenty post-process technique,and is of diagonotic value to malignant tumor in renal sinus.
