Objective: To compare the biotype and genetic similarity between groups of commensal and pathogenic strains of candida species. Methods:Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to analyse the type of Candida albicans. Results: 12 pathogenic isolates of Candida albicans, 3 commensal isolates of Candida abicans and 3 isolates of pathogenic non-albicans were obtained. The similarity coefficient of albicans with non-albicans was 51.7% by RAPD. Intra-candida similarity coefficient was more than 70%. Both the commensal and pathogenic isolates showed the genetically similar to C. albicans. Intro-isolate DNA polymorphism was observed by RAPD. Conclusion: Both the commensal and pathogenic groups contain a major cluster of genetically similar C. albicans isolates.

AIM: To study the effect and mechanism of BCG on human nature killer cells. METHODS: PBMC or purified NK cells were isolated from normal human peripheral blood with negative anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis antibody and cultured with BCG, IL-12, BCG plus IL-12 and BCG plus anti-IL-12Rβ1 mAb (2B10), respectively. The levels of IFN-γ and IL-12p40 in the culture supernatants were measured by ELISA. The frequency of IFN-γ and granzyme B producing cells were analyzed by ELISpot. The cytolytic activity was detected by MTT reduction assay. The surface expression of IL-12Rβ1 on NK cells was detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS: BCG significantly induced IFN-γ production by PBMC in a dose-dependent manner. When PBMC was stimulated with BCG, the frequency of granzyme B producing cells was higher than that in unstimulated PBMC (P<0.05). BCG enhanced the cytotoxic activity of PBMC. BCG alone didn' t induce IFN-γ production by purified NK cells, but it can augment IL-12-induced IFN-γ production by purified NK cells. The cytotoxic activities of BCG-stimulated and unstimulated purified NK cells were not significantly different (P>0.05). BCG induced IL-12 production by PBMC in a dose-dependent manner and enhanced IL-12Rβ1 expression on different subsets of NK cells. Blocking the effect of IL-12 by anti-IL-12Rβ1 mAb (2B10) inhibited BCG-induced IFN-γ production and granzyme B releasing by PBMC. CONCLUSION: BCG can indirectly promote biologic activity of NK cells and the production of endogenous IL-12 combined with up-regulation IL-12Rβ1 expression on the surface of NK cells is a part of the mechanisms of IL-12 on human NK cells.

Objective To discuss the correlation of P-glycoprotein(P-gp) and lymphocyte subgroup(CD4+,CD8+) in patients with immune thrombocytopenia.Methods A total of 20 patients with immune thrombocytopenia were selected from August 2015 to September 2016 in the Eighth Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University.According to the platelet count,all patients were divided into mild group and severe group,20 cases of health persons were selected at the same period as the healthy group,flow cytometry technique was used to detect the plasma lymphocyte subsets(CD4+,CD8+) and P-gp level of all the objects.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between plasma P-gp and plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ level,analyzed all the objects plasma platelet count,P-gp and CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ levels.Results Plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ and P-gp level of severe group were significant higher than those of mild group(t=3.587,2.957,2.315,2.646,P<0.05),plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ and P-gp level of mild group patients were significant higher than those of healthy group(t=5.479,2.921,4.536,7.750,P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis results showed that the plasma levels of P-gp and plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+ / CD8+ levels were positively correlated(r=0.683,0.617,0.548,P<0.05).Conclusion Plasma CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+and P-gp level is associated with immune thrombocytopenia patients condition,plasma levels of P-gp closely links with abnormal immune function in patients with hyperthyroidism,prompting detection the level of change could help doctors to assess patients medication curative effect.
