International Journal of Surgery 2015;42(6):429-432
NKG2D is an activating receptor expressed on various immune cells' surfaces.Currently,eight ligands have been found,they can be divided into two kinds:MHC Ⅰ related protein and ULBP molecules.NKG2D receptors and their respective ligands differentially exist in normal and cancerous tissues.So far,many researchers have found that a lot of immune cells' anti-tumor mechanism is mediated by NKG2D receptor and it can't be replaced in the resistance to the development of carcinoma.adoptive immunotherapy is a new method of treating cancer that propose to find tumor-specific cytotoxicity immune cells and enlarge the amount of it,then injected into human body to resist tumor.Recently,many researchers have found that DNT cells (CD4-CD8-T 细胞)have the function of anti-tumor;sadly its mechanisms are unclear.After the summary of NKG2D receptor-mediated pathway of destruction,this paper try to analyze its relevance to DNT cells' killing effect,on the purpose of finding the Killing mechanism of DNT cells that may existed.

Purpose To investigate the effect of resveratrol on acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice.Methods Acute lung injury (ALI) was induced by LPS in mice. The changes of lung airway inspiratory resistance (Ri), expiratory resistance (Re), and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were observed with pulmonary function test apparatus. Brochoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected, and the concentrations of interleukin 1β (IL-1β)、interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factory α (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. The ratio of wet to dry weight was calculated to assess lung edema. Pulmonary vascular permeability was examined with injection Evans blue to judge the destructive extent of alveolar epithelial cell and endothelial. Pathological section was made, and the histopathological change was observed with light microscope.Results Resveratrol can inhibit the elevation of Ri and Re, and the descent of Cdyn. Simultaneously, resveratrol reduced the concentration of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α,as well as the wet to dry weight ratio and the pulmonary vascular permeability significantly. Furthermore, it also could attenuate the lung injury on histopathology.Conclusion The results show that pretreatment with resveratrol has a protective effect on ALI induced by LPS. The ultimate inhibiting and release of inflammatory factors were involved in the mechanism of the effects.

Objectives To explore the correlation between the cerebrospinal fluid protein and facial paralysis in pa?tients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Methods Clinical and biochemical data of 111 patients with GBS in depart?ment of neurology from January 2005 to September 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. According to facial paralysis, GBS patients were divided into the facial normal and paralysis groups. Their clinical and biochemical characteristics were compared between the two groups. According to level of cerebrospinal fluid protein, GBS patients were divided into cerebrospinal fluid protein normal, mild high and severe high groups. Incidences of facial paralysis were compared among these three groups. The correlation between the cerebrospinal fluid protein and facial paralysis was analyzed. Results There was no significant difference in gender, age, respiratory infection and other clinical symptoms (P>0.05), whereas there were statistically significant differences in cerebrospinal fluid protein, immunoglobulin G, and cerebrospinal fluid albumin/serum albumin ratio between the facial normal and paralysis groups (P<0.05). Among the three groups by differ?ent levels of cerebrospinal fluid protein, there were statistically significant differences in the incidence of facial paralysis (F=3.48,P=0.03). Cerebrospinal fluid protein was positively correlated with facial paralysis (r=0.288,P<0.01). Conclu? sions The incidence of facial paralysis is associated with the levels of cerebrospinal fluid protein. Thus, cerebrospinal flu?id protein may be helpful in monitoring of GBS patients with facial paralysis.
