In this paper lymphocyte monoclonal antibodies were used to determine subpopulation of T cell in patients with Keshan disease and abnormal subpopulation was found. Activity of IL-2 in rats which fed with diet from disease area was much lower than that in controls. The activity of IL 2 enhanced when selenium was administrated to the diet. It is possible that Keshan disease may be an autoimmune disease and the disease factors could damage T cell function. Selenium (Se) could enhance cellularimmunity.

Objective To observe the morphological changes of dendrite and soma in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) which subsisted in early diabetic rats. Methods The RGCs of 3-months-course diabetic rats and coeval normal rats were marked by gene gun techniques. To collect RGCs photographs by Leica microscope with Z axis and CCD camera;to observe the changes of diameter, variance of structural features in dendritic field and somata after classification which according to the size and morphology. Thy-1 antibody marks on the retinal RGCs, taking a photograph under fluorescent microscope, counting the changes of retinal RGCs density in early diabetic rat. Results In three-month diabetic rats, the density of retinal RGCs was decreased obviously. Morphological changes of RGCs in the dendritic fields were observed with gene gun technique. There was no severe variation in all kinds of the bole of cell dendrite,in which some only showed crispation partially and sparseness also twisting in the dendritic ramus. The mean diameter of dendritic field and soma in class A of diabetic rats was (401±86)μm, the mean diameter of dendritic field in control group was (315±72) μm,compared with each other, there is statistically significant differences (t=21. 249, P<0. 001), the mean diameter of soma in class A of diabetic rats was (24±6) μm, the mean diameter of soma in control group was (22±5) μm, compared with each other,there is no statistically significant differences (t= 0. 927,P>0.05); the mean diameter of dendritic field and soma in class B of diabetic rats were (170±36). (14±2) μm respectively, in control group were (165±36), (16±2) μm, the mean diameter of dendritic field and soma in class C of diabetic group were (265±78),(17±5) μm respectively, in control group were (251±57),(17±4) μm , compared with each other,there are on statistically significant differences (t=1.357,0.798,0. 835,1.104 ,P>0.05). ConclusionsIn short-term diabetes, the survived RGCs show good plasticity in adult diabetic rats, especially in class A. The changes of dendrites were more sensitive than the soma, which could be the leading index of themorphologic changes of RGCs in the early stage. The good plasticity showed by the RGCs and the time window from changing in dendrite to cell death provide us many evidences not only for the research but also for the nerve protection in clinic.

Objective To observe whether the retrograde axial flow of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in diabetic rats at the early stage was damaged. Methods Diabetic model was induced by streptozotocin in 6 adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Fluorogold (FG) was injected to the superior colliculi 4 weeks later. Streched preparation of retina was made 12 and 72 hours after the injection, and was stained after photographed by fluorescent microscope. The proportion of RGC with different sizes labeled by FG was calculated. Other 6 normal adult male SD rats were in the control group. Results Twelve hours after injection with FG, there was no difference of the total number of RGC in experimental and control group, but the ratio of small RGC was lower in experimental group than that in the control group; 72 hours after injection with FG, The number of RGC, especially the small RGC, decreased obviously in experimental group compared with the control group. Conclusion The speed of the retrograde axial flow of RGC in diabetic rats at the early stage is affected, and the small RGC are damageable.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA and EBV serology markers and evaluate the clinical application values in different diseases.Methods Plasma samples from 397 diagnosed EBV infection-associated patients and 120 health donors from May 2014 to November 2015 in Wuhan Tongji Hospital were collected.Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was performed to detect the levels of EBV-DNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cell and plasma.ELISA was used to detect VCA IgA,VCA IgM,VCA IgG,EA(D) IgG and EBNA IgG antibodies in plasma.The positive rate of EBV-DNA and EBV antibodies were counted in each group according to the detection threshold.Kappa statistic and Spearman sank correlation test were used to analysis the correlation and uniformity between EBV-DNA and EBV serology indicators.Results The positive rate of VCA IgG in patient and health control was 94.2% (374/397) and 93.3% (112/120) respectively (χ2=0.125,P=0.67);The positive rate of EBNA IgG in patient and health control was 95.4% (379/397) and 95.0% (114/120) respectively (χ2=0.045,P=0.807);but the positive rate of VCA IgM was 5.5% (22/397) and 0% (0/120) respectively (χ2=6.9,P<0.01);The positive rate of VCA IgA was 43.3% (172/397) and 9.2% (10/120) respectively (χ2=49.5,P<0.01);The positive rate of EA(D) IgG was 42.0% (167/397) and 7.5% (9/120) respectively (χ2=49,P<0.01).The positive rate of EBV-DNA was 65.5% (260/397) and 16.7% (20/120) respectively (χ2=88.5,P<0.01);The positive rate of EBV-DNA in plasma was 45.8% (182/397) and 5.0% (6/120) respectively (χ2=66.4,P<0.01).Furthermore,the uniformity and Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no significant correlation between EBV-DNA and EBV serology indicators.The correlation analysis between PBMC EBV-DNA and VCA IgM,VCA IgA,EA(D) IgG showed the Kappa was 0.073,0.147,0.073,respectively;the correlation analysis between plasma EBV-DNA and VCA IgM,VCA IgA,EA(D) IgG showed the Kappa was 0.144,0.369,0.288,respectively.Thus,the patients were divided into different groups according to the discharge diagnosis,it was observed that the positive rates of EBV-DNA is more than 90% in extra-nodal NK/T cells lymphoma,EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphoid tissue hyperplasia,chronic active EBV infection and infectious mononucleosis.In nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients,the positive rate of EBV antibodies (VCA IgA and EA(D) IgG) were higher than the detection of EBV-DNA.Conclusions There was no significant correlation between EBV-DNA and EBV serology markers for the same sample.The clinical application values of EBV DNA and EBV serology markers were not identical in nasopharyngeal carcinoma,extra-nodal NK/T cells lymphoma,infectious mononucleosis and EBV-associated hemophagocytic lymphoid tissue hyperplasia.

Objective To explore the relationship between lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) of lumbar spinal stenosis(LSS)and the dural sac cross-sectional area(DSCA)by MRI measurement. Methods 91 patients with central degenerative LSS were randomly selected and 91 age-and sex-matched people without LSS were select-ed as a control group. LDD was classified into five grades by MRI detection according to the method proposed by Pfirrmann and DSCA were measured. Results LDD was not associated with age in LSS. The proportion of severe degenerated disc in lower lumbar levels were higher than that of L2/3 in the two groups;DSCA in severe degenerat-ed disc group was significantly smaller than that in light degenerated group only in L2/3 and L3/4 in LSS. There were no statistical differences in every lumbar level in the control group. Conclusions LDD in L4/5 and L5/S1 of LSS is more severe than that of the normal people. DSCA and LDD are positively correlated in L2/3 and L3/4,but not in L4/5 and L5/S1 for LSS.

Objective To explore the effect of TNF related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) in apoptosis induced by LPS. Methods After LPS injected mice blocking TRAIL with soluble death receptor 5 (sDRS), detecting ALT, AST and LDH of mice serum at different times, apoptotic effects of LPS to mice hepatocyte were detected by HE and flow eytometry (FCM) with Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. The expres-sion of DR5 in mice hepatocyte was assayed with immunohistochemistry and FCM. Results Apoptotic effect was promoted by up-regulated DR5 expression on hepatocyte. Blocking TRAIL with sDR5 markedly amelio-rated the hepatocyte damage and reduced apoptosis. Conclusion These results establish a critical role for TRAIL in apoptosis during disease process of LPS.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of the embolism and sclerotherapy of fibrin glue combined with bleomycin (FG/BLM) for the treatment of cervicofacial vascular malformations by color doppler ultrasound.Methods:10 patients with venous malformation(VM) and 10 patients with arterio-venous malformation(AVM) were included.All patients underwent embolism and sclerotherapy of FG/BLM guided by ultrasound.Color doppler ultrasound was used to record the real-time two-dimensional ultrasonography and color doppler image.The flow and distribution of FG/BLM after injection into the lesions were observed.Results:Two-dimensional ultrasonography showed clumps or flake strong echo after immediate injection of FG/BLM into the cavity of VMs,then floated in the abnormal venous lumen and diffused throughout the cavity.At the later stage the lesions were filled by a large number of flocculent and netted low echo,and patchy strong echo.The volume of VMs cavity expanded dramaticlly,and the blood flow signal was significantly decreased.After injection of FG/BLM into the lumen of AVMs,clumps or flake strong echo were observed,then most of the snowflake strong echo rapidly filled or scattered along with blood stream to the distal part of the vessels.The color doppler showed significantly decrease of blood flow signal.Conclusion:FG/BLM injection can embolize and block the draining vein of VM,and play a role on the storage of sclerozing agent.FG/BLM injection can embolize both the dilated blood vessels and capillary network of AVM.

The anti-tumor activity of curcumin against androgen-independent prostate cancer cells in vitro and the possible mechanism were investigated. After curcumin treatment, the effect of curcumin on the proliferation of prostate cancer PC-3 cells was assessed by CFSE staining. Flow cytometery (FCM) was performed to analyze the cell cycle and the induction of apoptosis of tumor cells. A luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the effects of curcumin on the activities of intracellular NF-κB and AP-1 signaling pathways. The results showed curcumin could effectively inhibit the proliferation of PC-3 cells in vitro (P<0.05). Cells were arrested at G(2)/M phase. After curcumin treatment, the percentage of apoptotic cells was significantly higher than in control group (P<0.05). The results of the luciferase assay revealed that curcumin selectively inhibited the activities of the NF-κB and AP-1 signaling pathways in PC-3 cells significantly. It was suggested that curcumin could exert anti-tumor activity against androgen-independent prostate cancer cells in vitro by inhibiting cellular proliferation and inducing apoptosis, which was probably contributed to the inhibition of transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1.
