AIM:To investigate the immune depressive effect on the reactive T cells and to explore the immunologic injury mechanism of beta cells of islet in type 1 diabetes mellitus(DM-1).METHODS:pAd5/PD-L1-GPI adenovirus vector with target gene was constructed and transfected into NIT cells which are known as a mouse insuloma cell line.The highly expressed membrane protein of PD-L1-GPI was confirmed by Western blotting.The peripheral blood non-adherence lymph leukocytes and target cells were cultured to detect lymph leukocyte proliferation and the T cell function.The level of IL-2,TNF-? and IFN-? were detected in the cell culture fluid.RESULTS:Compared with the control group,the NIT cells modified with PD-L1-GPI inhibited the sensitized lymph leukocyte proliferation effectively and down-regulated the level of some cytokine secretions such as IL-2,IFN-? and TNF-?(P

Objective To monitor and compare the breathing mechanics on PC,VC and PRVC during pneumoperitoneum,and to discuss the significance of the clinic use of PRVC.Method Ninety laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients were equally divided into 3 groups (PC,VC,PRVC).Levels of PES,PAWM,PAP,PaCO2,ETCO2,TV MAP and HR were detected before pneumoperitoneum,and at 5,10,15 and 20 minutes postpneumoperitoneum.Results Pneumoperitoneum made three respiratory patterns with different levels of PAWM,PAP,and PES.PES post-pneumoperitoneum in the VC model was obviously higher than that in the PC and PRVC group.At 10 min post-pneumoperitoneum,levels of PaCO2 and ETCO2 increased obviously in the PC and VC group(P ＜ 0.05).Levels of PaCO2 and ETCO2 were increased in the PC group,but TV level post-pneumoperitoneum was significantly lower than that in the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Level of PaCO2 and ETCO2 were increased in the PC and VC group post-pneumoperitoneum,along with increases of MAP and HR (P ＜ 0.05).Levels of MAP and HR in the PRVC group post-pneumoperitoneum were significantly lower than those in the PC and VC group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion PRVC mode can effectively reduce the increases of pneumoperitoneum-induced PAWM,PAP,PES,without the unusual increase of PaCO2 and ETCO2 during surgeries,contributing to the stability of vital signs of perioperative patients.

Objective To investigate the changes of trace elements score in hairs in patients with hyperthyroidism and its relationship with thyroid function. Methods The trace elements(Mg,Ca,Cr,Mn,Fe,Cu,Zn,Sr,Mo,Ba)in hairs and serum thyroid hormones(FT_3 and FT_4)were measured in control group (60 cases) and hyperthyroidism group (67 cases). Results The levels of trace elements Zn,Cu,Mg,Cr were significantly lower (P

Sixty-six volunteers,including 24 subjects with normal glucose tolerance(NGT),18 patients with impaired glucose regulation (IGR),and 24 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ),underwent a test of continuous glucose monitoring.The data of continuous glucose monitoring were embedded into two-dimension Euclid space by Takens' embedding theory.Glycemic phase diagram was drawn by MATLAB.The area and center distance of glycemic phase diagram were calculated by computer.The distinction of glycemic variability and average glycemic level among different glucose regulation populations were analyzed.The results showed that there existed significant differences in body mass index,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,high density lipoprotein-cholesterol,triglyceride,total cholesterol,creatinine,and alanine aminotransferase among three groups( all P＜0.05 ).The levels of HbAIC,fasting plasma glucose( FPG ),postprandial 2 h plasma glucse (2hPG),area and center distance of glycemic phase diagram in T2DM group were higher than those in NGT and IGR groups( P＜0.01 ),and the levels of FPG,2hPG,area and center distance of glycemic phase diagram in IGR group were higher than those in NGT group( P＜0.01 ).The levels of FPG and 2hPG were correlated with area and center distance of glycemic phase diagram ( all P＜0.01 ).These results suggest that measuring the area and center distance of glycemic phase diagram is a good method to assess glycemic variability and average glycemic level during continuous glucose monitoring.

Objective To explore the safety of mobilization and collection as well as the feasibility of selection of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (auto-PBSC) from patients with juvenile severe autoimmune diseases (AID) for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT). The clinical significance of these procedure is evaluated. Methods Eight patients with AID, including four patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE),two patients with dermatomysoitis, one patient with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), one patient with multiple sclerosis(MS),underwent auto-HSCT. Auto-PBSCs were mobilized in 8 patients using cyclophosphamide(CTX) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and their PBSCs were collected by CS-3000 Blood Cell Separator, then the CD34+cells were selected and purified by CliniMACS CD34+cell selection device. The CD34+ cells were frozenand preserved under -80 ℃ ALL patients received non-myeloablative or lymphoablative conditioning regimens which consisted of CTX/Mel/ATG or CTX/ATG or BEAM/ATG. All patient received CD34+ cells transplantation. The safety of mobilization and collection process of auto-PBSC as well asthe feasibility of selection and purification of CD34+cells were recorded and hematopoietic reconstruction were evaluated. Results All patients tolerated the collection process well, and there was no mobilization-related mortality. The number of collected MNCs and CD34+ cells were 8.35×108/kg and 7.92×106/kg respectively. The number of CD34+ and CD3+ cells after purification was 6.28×106/kg and0.71 ×105/kg respectively. The mean granulocytes and platelet engraftment occurred on days 11 and 15 after G-CSF regimen, and they can be collected using CS-3000 instrument. PBSC mobilization and collection from patients with juvenile severe AID is safe. The CD34+ cell can be highly purified. The auto-PBSC CD34+cell transplantation is an alternative therapy for severe AIDs that do not respond to conventional treatments.

Objective To set up the reference value of serum glyeated albumin (CA) in Chinese for using in clinical practice through a multi-center clinical trial. Methods Three hundred and eighty individuals with normal weight and normal glucose regulation, including 183 males and 197 females ranging from 20 to 69 years, were recruited from 10 hospitals in China. Serum GA levels were measured with liquid enzymatic method. Results (1) The GA level of the 380 subjects was (14. 5±1.9)%. When dividing these subjects by age into 3 subgroups, there was no difference in the GA levels among the 3 subgroups (P>0.05). Compared with the women, the men had higher GA level in the first subgroup aging from 20 to 39 (P =0.028). However, no significant difference was detected after adjusting with BMI as confounder.(2) When dividing those subjects by BMI into 3 subgroups, with BMI ranging from 18. 5-20. 9 kg/m2,21.0-22. 9 kg/m<'2>and 23.0-24. 9 kg/m<'2>respectively, we came to the following results: for men, there was no difference in the GA levels among the 3 subgroups (P>0.05), but for women, the GA level of the first subgroup was higher than that of the second subgroup (P =0.024). (3) The level of GA in the 2. 5th to 97.5th percentile was 10. 8%-17. 1%. (4) Sixty normal subjects were chosen to repeat evaluation of GA levels after 2-3 weeks and the GA levels were of no difference (P>0.05).Conclusion The normal range of serum GA for the Chinese population could be suggested at 11%-17%.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT imaging in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients with different PSA levels. Methods:The imaging and clinical data of 50 patients with CRPC who underwent 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT examination in Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The average age was 72 (54-95) years old. Serum total PSA was 92.28(0.36-2000.00) ng/ml. According to the total PSA level, the patients were divided into low PSA group(total PSA ≤ 1 ng/ml, n=9), medium PSA group (1 ng/ml10ng/ml, n=23). According to the standardized evaluation standard of molecular imaging, the suspicious tumor lesions on 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT imaging were scored by molecular imaging PSMA(miPSMA), and the miPSMA score ≥2 was defined as positive lesions. According to the number of lesions displayed by 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT, patients were divided into oligofocal group (the number of lesions ≤3) and multiple lesions group (the number of lesions >3). The imaging characteristics of patients in different groups were summarized. Results:The 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT imaging results of 50 cases in this study were all positive, including oligofocal group (n=27) and multiple lesions group (n=23). Of the 30 patients with unresected prostate, 18 had local recurrence of the prostate, while the other 12 patients with unresected prostate and 20 patients with resected prostate had no signs of local recurrence. The oligofocal group showed local recurrence, regional lymph node metastasis or bone metastasis. Patients with multiple lesions showed multiple lymph nodes and/or bone metastasis with or without local recurrence. There were 9, 18 and 4 patients with oligofoci in low, middle and high PSA groups, respectively.There were 27 patients in the oligonucleogenous group, and 21 of the 22 patients receiving local treatment were effective. All 3 patients treated with systemic treatments were effective. PSA progressed in 2 untreated patients. In the multi-foci group of 23 patients, 6 of 9 patients treated with abiraterone were effective. Two patients treated with enzalumide were ineffective. One of the 4 patients with chemotherapy was effective. One of the two patients treated with 177 Lu-PSMA nuclide was effective. One case did not respond to treatment with 89SrCl 2. Radiotherapy failed in 2 cases. PSA progressed in 3 untreated patients. Conclusions:18F-DCFPyLPET/CT imaging has a high detection rate of lesions in patients with CRPC and has potential guiding significance for follow-up treatment. The number of lesions in CRPC patients with different PSA levels was different, and the patients with low PSA levels were mainly oligofoci.
