Objective To study the relationship between the concentration of oxidized low density lipoprotein(Ox-LDL)and ca-rotid intima-media thickness(IMT)in acute cerebral infarction(ACI group).Methods 44 ACI patients(ACI group)and 30 healthy individuals(control group)were enrolled in the study,whose serum concentrations of Ox-LDL were determined by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and carotid IMT of ACI patients were measured by using ultrasound,then the relationship between Ox-LDL and carotid IMT of ACI patients was analysed.Results The serum concentration of Ox-LDL in ACI group was significantly higher than that in control group(P <0.01).In ACI group,the serum concentration of Ox-LDL was positively correla-ted with carotid IMT(r =0.493,P <0.05 ).In ACI group,the serum Ox-LDL concentrations of patients whose IMT≥1.0 were higher than patients whose IMT<1.0 mm(P <0.05).Ox-LDL concentrations of ACI patients were positively correlated with the carotid IMT(r =0.493,P <0.05 ).Conclusion The serum concentration of Ox-LDL increased significantly in ACI patients,and was closely related to carotid atherosclerosis.

Objective To construct vector expressing soluble mPDL1-hIgGFc and study its effect on the proliferation and apeptosis of cells in vitro. Methods The extrncellular domain of mPDL1 gene was amplified from pmPDL1 vector by PCR and inserted into phIgGFc vector. The recombinant pmPDL1-hIgGFc was transfected into CHO cells by LipofectAMINETM2000, and the transfected cells were named as CHOp. The expression of mPDL1-hIgGFc in the culture supernatants of CHOp was assayed by ELISA and Western blot. The effects of CHOp culture supernatants on mixed lymphocyte culture(MLC) was analysed by Flowm-etry. Results The extracellular domain of mPDL1 gene were obtained from PCR. DNA sequencing and the identification of digestion by HindⅢ and KpnⅠ indicated the recombinant plasmid pmPDL1-hIgGFc was suc-cessfully constructed. ELISA and Western blot analysis proved that the CHOp could express mPDL1-hIgG-Fc. CHOp culture supernatants could inhibit lymphocyte proliferation and induce the apoptosis of the activa-ted T cells in MLC in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion The mPDL1-hIgGFc protein could in-hibit lymphocyte proliferation and induce the apoptosis of the activated T cells.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the bone marrow smears of neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma in children and summarize the morphological characteristics of the two types of tumors invading the bone marrow to provide reference for the identification and differential diagnosis.Method:A total of 908 bone marrow specimens were collected from the outpatient and inpatient children who were diagnosed as Neuroblastoma and Rhabdomyosarcoma by pathological tissue or lymph node biopsy in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 2013 to July 2020. Of which, 231 cases of tumor bone marrow metastasis were detected. Bone marrow smears were observed and analyzed, classified and summarized according to the morphological characteristics of tumor cells.Result:A total of 231 cases of bone marrow metastases were detected, including two types of tumors, 217 cases Neuroblastoma, with an invasion rate of 34.23%; 14 cases Rhabdomyosarcoma, with an invasion rate of 5.11%. The tumor cells of neuroblastoma were arranged in a pseudo-chrysanthemum or wall-like arrangement and most of them were surrounded by nerve fibers. According to cell size, they could be divided into large cell type and small cell type. Rhabdomyosarcoma cells were mainly medium in size, with vacuoles in the nucleus, and double, triple and multinucleated cells can be seen. The cytoplasm was gauze-like, with bead-like vacuoles at the edges. According to the morphological characteristics of neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, they can be differentiated from acute leukemia.Conclusion:Among two malignant solid tumors in children, Neuroblastoma had a higher bone marrow invasion rate, while Rhabdomyosarcoma had a lower bone marrow invasion rate. Rhabdomyosarcoma can be initially divided into embryonal type and acinar type according to whether tumor cells were fused or not.
