The annual incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) continually increases. New PCa immune therapy has become the fourth line antitumor treatment following surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. As the most promising research direction in cancer immunotherapy,immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as programmed cell death-1 and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors, block PD-1 and its ligand PD-L1 and then terminate the negative control signal to the T cell, thereby facilitating T cell recovery and reversal of tumor immune-escaping mechanism. These processes restore the capability of T cells for immune response and inhibit and kill tumor cells. This review summarizes the progress on the current application of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in PCa clinical trials.

Lithium(Li) salt is. a kind of effective drug commonly used in the treatment and prevention of mental disorders, but its active mechanism is still not well understood. Getting on for twenty years, many research have been reported on relationship between Li salt and second messenger system, especially the effect of Li salt on adenylate cyclase. Identical result is not obtained and there are few reports on brain calmodulin (CaM) activity change by Li salt. The aim of present expcri- ment is to determine the content of CaM in raet brain by phosphodiesterase (PED) method after chronic application of Li salt and discuss preliminary the molecular mechanism of Li salt action. The result showed that marked change has happened in the content of CaM in rat brain after chronic application of Li salt. It is ins-plied that Li salt brings its action into play probably by changing the content of CaM in rat brain

Thyroglobulin antibody (TGA) production in vitro by cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) was measured by ELISA technique. PBMC from patients with AITD could synthesize and secret detectable amount of TGA. The average positive rate of TGA production in vitro was 31.25%. PBMC from the patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) could produce TGA more easily than that from the patients with Graves'disease (GD). The average positive rate was 44.19% in HT and 16.22% in GD. Pokeweed mitogen could increase TGA production, but soluable thyroglobulin could not stimulate TGA synthesis and secretion. Antithyroid drug methi-mazole had some inhibition effect on TGA production in vitro. A significant positive correlation between the serum TGA and the amount of TGA produced in vitro by PBMC from HT patients (r = 0.4, P

Objective To study the association among the color Doppler flow pattern, vascular distribution and the lymph nodes metastasis in breast carcinomas. Methods Sixty-eight patients with infiltrating mammary gland duct carcinoma were divided into the no-lymph-nodes-metastasis group (group I , 37 cases) and the lymph-nodes-metastasis group (group Ⅱ , 31 cases), group Ⅱ were subdivided into group Ⅱa (19 cases): lateral lymph nodes positive of pectoralis minor and group Ⅱ b (12 cases): rear of pectoralis minor and subclavian lymph node positive. Blood flow parameters [peak systoltc velocity (PSV),resistent index ( RI)] and vascular Alder grades were observed and measured with color Doppler ultrasound.The results were compared with the incidence of lymph node metastasis. Results PSV and RI were not significantly different between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ (t = -0.19,-0.63,P＞ 0.05),and also between group Ⅱ a and group Ⅱ b (t =-1.12,-013,P ＞0.05). By using vascular Alder grades,there were no significant differences between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ (x2= 0.46, P＞ 0.05 ), but the significant differences were observed between group Ⅱ a [10.5%(2/19) ,63.2%( 12/19) ,26.3%(5/19) in Alder Ⅰ , Ⅱ , Ⅲ grade] and group Ⅱ b [8.3%( 1/12), 16.7%(2/12),75.0%(9/12)in Alder Ⅰ , Ⅱ ,Ⅲ grade](x2 = 7.41,P＜0.05). Conclusion The pattern of blood flow has no correlation with lymph nodes metastasis, vascular Alder grades of carcinoma shows some relevance with the lymph nodes metastasis in the patients with infiltrating mammary gland duct carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the identification role of plasma high sensitive Creactive protein (hs-CRP) and lipoprotein (a) (Lp [a]) levels in the diagnosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke according to the TOAST classification. Methods The levels of plasma hsCRP and Lp (a) in 82 acute stroke patients ( ＜24 hours) and 60 healthy controls were detected using immune scatter turbidimetry and immune transmission turbidity, and try to make use of Holter, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance angiography/CT angiography/dagital subtraction angiography and other tests. Finally, they were classified according to the diagnostic criteria of the TOAST classification of ischemic stroke. Results There were significant differences in plasma hs-CRP and Lp (a) levels between all the subtypes of the acute ischemic sroke group and the control group (all P ＜0. 001). The the level of plasma hsCRP in patients with cardioembolism (CE) was highest. Hs-CRP could be used as a biological marker of CE subtype (odds ratio[OR] = 1. 84,95% confidence interval [CI] 1. 18-2. 85, P ＜ 0. 05). When its concentration was ＞ 3. 48 mg/L, the sensitivity and specificity of predicting CE were 89% and 83% respectively. The plasma level of the AT patients was highest, it could be used as a biological marker of AT subtype (OR = 1. 02, 95% CI 1. 01-1. 03, P＜0. 05); when its concentration was ＞ 183. 5 mg/L, the sensitivity and specificity of predicting AT were 87% and 85% respectively. Conclusions The plasma hs-CRP and Lp (a) levels of patients with acute ischemic stroke may provide some help for timely and accurate etiological typing.
