Objective To study the expression of CD27 and CD28 in antigen-specific CD4~+T cells in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and healthy people, and understand the role of differentiated stages of CD4~+T cells in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis. Methods The expression of CD27 and CD28 was analyzed by CD4, CD154, CD27 and CD28 staining and flow cytometry. The distributions of CD27 and CD28 in antigen-specific CD4~+T cells were compared between patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and healthy controls. Results In patients of pulmonary tuberculosis, the frequencies of CD27 + CD28 + (early differentiated stage), CD27~- CD28~+ and CD27~+ CD28~- (intermediate differentiated stage), CD27~- CD28~-(fully differentiated stage) T cell subsets in antigen specific CD4~+T cells were (49. 55 ±6. 15)%, (26. 85 ±3. 87)% ,(7. 2 ± 1.37)% and ( 16. 35 ±3.97)%, respectively. In healthy controls, the frequencies of the four subsets in antigen-specific CD4~+T cells were ( 51.81 ± 4. 94 ) %, ( 29. 83 ± 5.33 ) %, ( 12. 65 ±4. 48)% and (5.7±2)%, respectively. The early differentiated CD4~+T cell was the major subset both in patients and healthy people, however, which had significant difference compared with the fully differentiated subset ( t = 2. 26, P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion The population frequency of the fully differentiated CD4~+T cells in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was significantly higher than that in healthy people. This suggested that the differentiation degree of the antigen-specific CD4~+T cell might be related with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective To study population frequencies of CD4+,CD154+ T cell subset in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and controls with positive PPD reaction. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect the CD4+,CD154+ T cell subset, the population frequen-cies in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and controls were compared. Results The expression level of CD154 was higher when PE-la-beled CD154 antibody was added during stimulation period, compared with CD154 labeling after stimulation(1.51±0. 36/0. 40±0. 13, P <0.05). The CD154+ cells were not detectable in fresh isolated CD4+ T cells, but significantly increased after stimulation with specific anti-gens. The population of CD4+, CD154+ T cell subset was significantly reduced in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis, compared with healthy controls with PPD positive reaction(0. 72±0. 32/1.65±0. 76, P <0. 01). Conclusions The population of CD4± ,CD154± T cell subset was significantly reduced in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis, which indicated that it may play an important role in the de-velopment of tuberculosis.

Objective To evaluate Aptima HPV E6 and E7 mRNA assay (Aptima HPV) combined with Aptima HPV 16 and 18 or 45 (18/45) genotype assay (Aptima HPV-GT) as a means of cervical cancer opportunistic screening. Methods From October 2016 to October 2017, a total of 23 258 women aged 25-65 years were enrolled in the physical examination center and gynecological clinic of Huzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital. All the women had Aptima HPV tested, further Aptima HPV-GT testing for positive women and liquid-based thin layer cytology Thinprep cytologic test (TCT). Women with Aptima HPV (+) or ≥low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) or obvious clinical symptoms (including vaginal bleeding after intercourse and watery, bloody vaginal discharge) were referred for colposcopy and further biopsy with or without endocervical curettage (ECC) if indicated. Expression of Aptima HPV, HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 with different cytological diagnostic groups and histological diagnosis groups were compared respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of Aptima HPV detection and TCT in identifying histological diagnosis of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) or worse (HSIL+) were compared. Results (1) The positive rates of Aptima HPV, HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 were 14.00% (3 257/23 258), 1.85% (430/23 258) and 0.86% (199/23 258) respectively.The positive rates of Aptima HPV, HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 increased with cytology grading in squamous epithelium [negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM), atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), LSIL, atypical squamous cell cannot exclude HSIL (ASC-H), HSIL and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), all P=0.000)]. According to histology results, the positive rates of Aptima HPV, HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 increased with histology grading in squamous epithelium (normal cervical tissue, LSIL, HSIL and SCC, all P=0.000). The positive rate of Aptima HPV was significantly higher in HSIL+group than that in the LSIL or better (LSIL-) group [98.11% (311/317) vs 12.84% (2 946/22 941), P=0.000]. The positive rate of Aptima HPV-GT was significantly higher in HSIL+group than that in LSIL-group [58.36% (185/317) vs 1.91% (439/22 941), P=0.000]. (2) Compared with cytology, Aptima HPV resulted in significant higher sensitivity (98.11% vs 59.62%, P=0.000) and negative predictive value (99.97% vs 99.42%, P=0.000), significant lower specificity (87.16% vs 95.37%, P=0.000) and positive predictive value (9.55% vs 15.10%, P=0.000) when identified HSIL+. Conclusions Women with Aptima HPV positive, especially those with Aptima HPV-GT positive, are more likely to have histological diagnosis of HSIL+. Aptima HPV combined with Aptima HPV-GT is feasible as a means of cervical cancer opportunistic screening in tertiary hospitals.

OBJECTIVE AMPK activator,act as exer-cise mimetics,effective in preventing or ameliorating met-abolic diseases,including obesity and diabetes.Systemic activating of AMPK represents an important therapeutic strategy to treat metabolic diseases.However,whether far-infrared(FIR)hyperthermia therapy could be used as exercise mimetic to realize wide-ranging metabolic regu-lation,and its underling mechanisms remain unclear.METHODS The mice were subjected to hyperthermia in the FIR chamber(30±1)℃for 14 d.Exercise endurance was determined using a treadmill.Blood flow were mea-sured by the laser speckle contrast imaging.Combina-tion of microbiomic and metabolomic analysis,diversity of microbiota and metabolic profiling in muscle were detected.The microbiota disorder model via treatment with different cocktails of antibiotics(ABX).RESULTS The material characterization shows that the graphene synthesized by chemical vapour deposition(CVD)is dif-ferent from carbon fi ber,with single-layer structure and high electrothermal transform efficiency.The emission spectra generated by graphene-FIR device would maxi-mize matching those adsorbed by tissues(≈8.0 μm).Gra-phene-FIR improves core and epidermal temperature,and increases blood flow in femoral muscle and abdo-men.The diversity of gut microbiota was increased by graphene-FIR exposure.Graphene-FIR reduced the bac-teroidetes/firmicutes(B/F)ratio and increased the abun-dance of short-chain fatty acids(SCFA)-producing bac-teria,including Allobaculum,Blautia and Anaerostipes.Additionally,graphene-FIR stimulated the expression of SCFAs-sensing receptor(GPR 43),p-AMPK Thr172 and GLUT4,and increased the AMP/ATP ratio,thus enhanc-ing muscle glucose uptake.Metabolomic analyses revealed the significant changes in 25 metabolites,with twenty increased(eg.creatinine and phosphate)and five decreased(eg.lactic acid),and the marked impact of five metabolic pathways,including galactose metabo-lism,glycolysis,gluconeogenesis,fatty acid biosynthesis,butanoate metabolism,pyruvate metabolism.Further-more,a microbiota disorder model also demonstrates that the graphene-FIR effectively restore the exercise endurance with enhanced p-AMPK and GLUT4.CON-CLUSION Our results provide convincing evidence that graphene-based FIR therapy promoted exercise capacity and glucose metabolism via AMPK in gut-muscle axis.These novel insights into graphene-FIR therapy suggest a potential as an exercise mimetic for the treatment of metabolic disease in clinical.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare Paclitaxel(PTX)nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) modified by small peptide alanine-glutamic acid-tyrosine-leucine-arginine (AEYLR), and to evaluate its anti-tumor effect in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: NLC, PTX-NLC (P-NLC) and AEYLR modified P-NLC (A-P-NLC) were prepared by emulsion evaporation-low temperature solidification curing method. Its appearance, particle size, multi-dispersion index(PDI) and Zeta potential were characterized,encapsulation rate,drug loading and in vitro drug release were detected respectively. Using NCI-H1299 and S180 cells as objects, CCK-8 method was adopted to investigate inhibitory effects of free PTX, P-NLC and A-P-NLC (0.44-44.00 μg/mL, by PTX) to those cells. The half inhibition concentration (IC50) was calculated. Using S180 tumor-bearing mice as model animal, anti-tumor effects of free PTX, P-NLC and A-P-NLC (5 mg/kg, by PTX) were evaluated. RESULTS: P-NLC and A-P-NLC were round-like and dispersed evenly. The particle size, PDI and Zeta potential of A-P-NLC were (43.92±0.76) nm, 0.203±0.034 and (-19.77±1.16) mV, which were all increased to certain extent, compared with P-NLC. The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading of A-P-NLC were (95.71±0.68)% and(1.97±0.25)%, which were both decreased to certain extent, compared with P-NLC. The cumulative release rate of A-P-NLC was(35.17±2.08)% within 48 h, showing significant sustained-release effect compared with free PTX; the release of A-P-NLC was slower than P-NLC. Compared with free PTX and P-NLC, inhibitory rates of same concentration of A-P-NLC to NCI-H1299 cells and S180 cells were almost increased significantly, while IC50 values were all decreased significantly. There was no death in S180 tumor-bearing mice treated with A-P-NLC and the general condition was good; the volume of tumors was significantly reduced, the mass of tumors was significantly reduced, and the inhibition rate of tumors was significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: A-P-NLC has significantly sustained-release effects; its inhibitory rate to NCI-H1299 cells and S180 cells in vitro, and its inhibitory effects on S180 solid tumor in mice are all better than free PTX and P-NLC, while the toxicity is decreased to certain extent.
