To study whether the late-acting co-stimulatory molecules ICOS can suppress the apoptosis and sustain the survival and proliferation of T cells through the survivin pathway, ICOS signals deficient T-cells were infected with adenovirus carried survivin gene, other T-cells were given ICOS co-stimulatory signals, then infected with adenovirus carried dominant-negative mutant survivin gene. Apoptosis and proliferation were determined by TUNEL and CCK-8 respectively. The results show that engagement of ICOS signal increased the expression level of survivin significantly. Survivin can sustain co-stimulatory deficient T cells survival and suppress the apoptosis. Mutant survivin inhibits ICOS signal positive T cells survival and increase its apoptosis. Late-acting co-stimulatory molecules ICOS can suppress the apoptosis and sustain the survival of T cells through the survivin pathway.

Objective To identify the expression of complement regulatory protein CD46, CD55, and CD59 on primary murine pallium astrocytes and the effect of inflammatory factors on it in order to lay the foundation for studying the complement system in AD. Methods The primary murine astrocytes were cultured and purified. The expression of CD46, CD55, and CD59 on the levels of mRNA and protein was assayed by immunofluorescence before and after the stimulation of LPS and IFN-?. Results The expression of CD59 mRNA was confirmed, but the expression of CD46 and CD55 was indefinite. There was no significant difference between stimulation and non-stimulation groups. Immunofluorescence results indicated that CD59 was positive, while CD46 and CD55 were weakly positive. Conclusion Protectin CD59 expresses copiously on primary murine astrocytes, which presumably protects astrocytes from the lysis of complement.

Objective To study the different types of medication guidance for community doctors in the context of essential medicine system,and analyze its influencing factors.Methods SPSS 1 9.0 was called into play for statistical analysis of data gathered,and the medication guidance behavior of the doctors were graded on the two dimensions of personal willingness and practical action.With important quadrant method,the medication guidance behavior of such doctors was classified,while the multiple linear regression was used to study the influencing factors.Results Most of the community doctors of the fourteen counties fall into the area of “high willingness and less action”,with only a few falling into the area of the “high willingness and more action”. Major influencing factors of their willingness on medication guide were found to include impacts on job autonomy,attention to essential medicine system, and the forms to improve income.Major factors of the doctors'actions on medication guide include awareness of essential medicines,awareness of essential medicines catalog,and training outcomes. Conclusion The community doctors have high personal willingness for medication guidance related to essential medicines,but only a number of them carried it in their work.Therefore,it is necessary to take actions to strengthen awareness of the doctors for medication guidance and encourage them to carry it out.

Prostate cancer is one of the malignant tumors with high incidence. Although most patients with prostate cancer respond well to standard treatment, they often have a poor prognosis once they develop hormone resistance. Radionuclide targeted therapy is an important method to treat malignant tumors after surgery and chemo-radiotherapy. New radioligand therapy (RLT), represented by 177Lu-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-RLT, effectively solves the problem of poor efficacy in advanced hormone-resistant prostate cancer, and has been widely recognized in the world. In this paper, the clinical practice of 177Lu-PSMA-RLT in the treatment of prostate cancer and its common adverse reactions are described in order to better understand and master its methods and lay the foundation for better clinical application and follow-up research.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of women's body mass index (BMI) on pregnancy outcomes of ovulation induction intrauterine insemination (OI-IUI) in patients with unexplained primary infertility. MethodsThe study included 764 OI-IUI cycles from January 2016 to December 2022 in reproductive center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. According to BMI,patients were divided into three groups:low BMI (BMI<18.5 kg/m2), normal BMI (18.5 kg/m2 ≤BMI<23.0 kg/m2), and high BMI (BMI≥23.0 kg/m2). Comparison of clinical data and pregnancy outcomes was performed between the groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between BMI and live birth rate. ResultsFrom the low BMI group to the high BMI group, the HCG positive rate (7.08%,9.74%, 13.19%), clinical pregnancy rate(5.51%, 7.91%, 13.19%), and live birth rate (4.72%, 6.90%, 12.50%) increased. Among them, the live birth rate of the high BMI group was significantly higher than that of the low BMI group and the normal BMI group, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.034). While the early miscarriage rate (14.28%, 10.26%, 5.26%) decreased from the low BMI group to the high BMI group. The binary logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI was an independent factor in live birth, and high BMI resulted in a better live birth rate than low BMI (OR=3.15,95%CI=1.191-8.329,P=0.021). ConclusionLow BMI is associated with poor OI-IUI outcomes in patients with unexplained primary infertility. These patients are encouraged to gain weight in a healthy manner.
