1.Effect of the culture supernatant of NPC cell line on cAMP、IL-2、and IL-2 receptor in lymphocytes
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
This paper reports on the effect of the culture supernatant of NPC cell line (CNE-2S) (400?l/ml) on cAMP、IL-2、and IL-2 receptor in normal lymphocyts. The cAMP levels of lymphocytes from 11 cases was 13.77?4.92pm/1?10~6. With lymphocytes suspensives added to the CNE-2S, the cAMP levels was increased to 26.1? 15.14Pm/1?10~6(P0.05)These results show that the immune function abnormality of the patients with NPC relates to the fact of that the NPC immunologic inhibitory factor declines the ability of lymphocytes to produce IL-2.

Purpose To study NF-κB gene expression level in mouse hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines with differently lymphatic metastasis potentials and to discuss its roles in lymphatic metastasis.Methods Using real-time quantitative PCR, NF-κB gene expression level was detected in mouse hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, including Hca-P with low lymphatic metastasis potential and Hca-F with high lymphatic metastasis potential.Results NF-κB mRNA expression in Hca-P and Hca-F cell lines were (1.41±0.48)×10~(-3),and (2.95±0.22)×10~(-3) (P<0.01),respectively.NF-κB mRNA expression levels were increased with metastasis potential.Conclusion NF-κB gene may play an important role in lymphatic metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the short?term functional connectivity (FC) changes of default mode network (DMN) after liver transplantation (LT) by using seed?based functional connectivity analysis of resting?state functional MRI (rs?fMRI). Methods Eighteen cirrhotic patients as transplant candidates and 20 healthy controls were included in this study. All the patients underwent rs?fMRI examination before and one month after LT. The data were analyzed using DPARSF and REST software. Seed?based functional connectivity analysis was used to isolate the DMN. The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) was chosen as seed region for the DMN map. Maps of the DMN were compared among the groups. Values of Z reflecting the functional connectivity of 3 groups were obtained. Two?sample t?test was performed to explore the DMN difference between cirrhotic patients and controls, and we used paired t tests to examine for any differences in functional connectivity before and after LT. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationship between the changes of functional connectivity with that of clinical indexes and neuropsychological test scores pre?and post?LT. Results Typically spatial distributions of the DMN were found in all the groups. According to paired t test, post?LT patients showed increased FC in left medial prefrontal cortex (t=3.31, P<0.05), while decreased FC in left precuneus and left lateral temporal cortex (t=-3.37,-4.53,respectively, both P<0.05). Compared to healthy controls, pre?LT patients showed decreased FC in the right precuneus, bilateral medial prefrontal cortex, bilateral inferior parietal cortex, and bilateral lateral temporal cortex(t=-4.32—3.00, all P<0.05), and post?LT patients showed decreased FC in right precuneus, left posterior cingulate cortex, bilateral inferior parietal cortex, and bilateral lateral temporal cortex(t=-4.33—2.99,all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed positively correlation between the changes of functional connectivity in left medial prefrontal cortex with that of DST (r=0.543, P=0.02). Conclusions This study found that the DMN FC of post?LT patients still lower than that of healthy controls one month after LT. The left medial prefrontal cortex was the first brain region that showed increased FC, while the FC of some regions continued to decrease, suggesting that brain function reorganization can continue after LT. Rs?fMRI can be used to observe the DMN changes in post?LT patients.

Objective To understand the prevalence of domestic violence and the correlation between domestic violence and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) so as to improve the mental health status of women in Wuhan city of China.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the community health service center in Wuhan.Participants were women who came to the center for gynecological examination.Data on general condition,social support,injury,epidemiological characteristics of domestic violence and PTSD were gathered.Chi-square,student-t and CochranArmitage trend tests were employed to compare the distribution of each characteristic variable between PTSD and non-PTSD group.Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between domestic violence and PTSD.Results A total of 1 015 women were effectively surveyed.The life-time incidence rates of events related to domestic,psychological,physical and sexual violence were 29.36%,28.28%,6.60% and 3.55%,respectively.The overall prevalence rate of PTSD was 4.73%.Women who suffered from domestic violence had higher risk of PTSD (OR=2.11,95% CI:1.04-4.29) than those who never experiencing domestic violence.Women who suffered from psychological or physical violence were 5.06 times more likely to suffer from PTSD (OR=5.06,95%CI:1.91-13.42).Conclusion A strong correlation between domestic violence and PTSD was seen.Victims who suffered from domestic violence should be provided with psychological counseling to reduce the risk of PTSD.

Objective To analyze clinicopathological characteristics and the potential risk-related factors of female breast hyperplasia in different age groups.Method From Jan 2015 to Dec 2016,patients diagnosed with breast hyperplasia in 12 hospitals were evaluated.All patients completed the self-designed questionnaires on women'health,including basic demographic information,clinic examination information,radiologic information and pathologic results.The patients were divided into a young group (< 45 years old) and an elderly group (from 45 to 75 years old).Results There were 3 684 cases of breast hyperplasia,including 2 291 cases in young group and 1 393 cases in elder group,respectively Clinically breast pain type were most commonly observed in both young and older groups (50.3% vs.42.7%,P < 0.001).While pathological research based on biopsy showed that breast adenopathy were the most common changes in both groups (67.9% vs.61.7%,P <0.001).More breast cancer cases were identified in elder group than that in young group,especially in clinically lump type patients (9.4% vs.4.2%,P < 0.001).Compared with elder group,patients in young group have different distribution characteristics regarding to fertility factors,lifestyle factors and psychology scale including anxiety and depression.Conclusion Distributions of clinicopathological characteristics and risk factors of female breast hyperplasia differ across different age groups.
