Objective To study the cellular immune response to a large-dose of HBsAg vaccine in transgenic (Tg) mice. Method After the Tg mice was immunized with HBsAg vaccine, the number of dentritic cells (DC), the level of proliferation of T-lymphocytes, and the production of IL-2 and IFN-?were determined. Results The percentage of cells positive for common stimulating factors CD80, CD86, and I-E k were significantly higher than that of the control group (P

Objective To explore the effect of the cystoscope indwelling double J tube for the treatment of pregnancy with ureteral calculi,and to observe and analyze the prognosis,and provide the basis for clinical therapy. Methods 46 pregnant women with ureteral calculi were selected.All patients were treated by cystoscope indwelling double J tube.Observation indexes were the follow -up complications after a week of operation time,operation situa-tion,Visual analogue scale (VAS)was used to evaluate the degree of pain operation before and after treatment 48 h. To observe the pregnant women with double J tube placement and delivery status.Results 46 patients were success-fully catheter,the average operation time was (29.14 ±3.27)min.37 patients with lumbar cramps and fever and other symptoms were relieved after treatment.6 patients with replacement of double J tube 2 months later.After treatment, VAS score was (1.16 ±0.83)points,which was lower than (6.93 ±1.02)points before treatment,the difference was statistically significant (t =9.64,P <0.05).After treatment,the infection rates of hydronephrosis and urinary tract were 4.35% (2 /46)and 0% (0 /46),which were lower than before treatment [(15 /46,32.61%)and 19.57%(9 /46)],the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =8.33,9.05,all P <0.05);46 cases of pregnant women were smooth production,no abortion complications.The average indwelling double J tube time was (5.08 ± 1.16)months.Conclusion Cystoscope indwelling double J tube for the treatment of ureteral calculi in pregnancy has less invasion,high stone clearance rate,less postoperative complications and high safety,the prognosis was good,and it is a safe and effective method.

AIM: To observe the effects of high-dose hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) vaccine on cellular immune response in BALB/C mice. METHODS: The mice were immunilized separately with low-dose and high-dose HBsAg vaccine by intramuscular injection two times. The specific proliferative activities of T lymphocytes were measured by [ 3H]-TdR incorporation assay. IL-2 as well as IFN-? levels in the culture supernatant of T cells and anti-HBs IgG2a lever in sera were detected by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. RESULTS: After first vaccination with high-dose HBsAg, the proliferative activities of T cells in the experimental group were significantly stronger, both levels of IL-2 and IFN-? were markedly higher than that in the control group and the percentage of mice to produce serum anti-HBs IgG2a was significantly higher compared to that of mice immunilized by low-dose HBsAg. All data in experimental groups were further increased after second dose of vaccine. CONCLUSION: Vaccination of mice with high-dose HBsAg can induce cellular immune responses tended to Th1(T helper 1 subset) response.

Objective To study whether physiological and psychological stresses during parachuting jumps may result in biochemical changes of plasma in parachutists. Method Differences in the levels of hormones (cortisol, growth hormone, insulin, pancreatic glucagon, endothelin, angiotonin I and II, aldosterone), activities of enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione S transferase), levels of the free radical damage indicator malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and the main heat stress protein, HSP70,in the plasma and serum were investigated in control (non-parachuting) and parachuting paratroops. Result Significantly higher levels of serum hormones such as growth hormone, insulin, angiotonin I, renin activities, as well as MDA and plasma TNF-α and HSP70 were observed in the parachuting group. Conclusion Whether these changes can potentially serve as useful biomarkers to assess possible abnormal stress in parachutists and to evaluate the health condition and to select parachutists remains to be further studied.
