Objective:To observate immunologic response of immunized mice by the vaccine pcIL-18-MAGE.Methods:Abundant plasmids were extracted and immunized mice,two booster injection were carried out at ten days intervals.Seven days after the third immunization,serum antibody against MAGE-1 and T cell subgroup were detected by FCM,and CTL killing activity were assayed through MTT.Results:About serum antibody against MAGE-1 and T cell subgroup,recombinant plasmids groups were all higher than the vacant plasmid pcDNA3 group(P

Objective To investigate the hemostatic function of biological glue in renal trauma.Methods Establishment of rab-bit kidney scratch,partial nephrectomy and renal injury penetrating wound models were available with a biological glue and hemo-static powder processing,observed and recorded the amount of bleeding and bleeding time.Tissue sample were transected from the wound of kidneys in each group after a month,and the renal wound healing condition was observed by pathological examination.Re-sults The hemostatic function of biological glue was better than styptic powder,the amount of bleeding in biological glue group and hemostatic powder group of kidney scratched model were(1.39±0.09)mL,(1.77±0.44)mL,the difference was not statistically significant(P =0.115);the bleeding time were(5.02 ±0.23)s,(66.40± 7.35)s,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.01);the amount of bleeding in two models of partial nephrectomy and renal penetrating wound were(2.07±0.25)mL,(11.42± 1.33)mL;(2.01 ± 0.36)mL,(3.95 ± 0.39)mL and bleeding time were(6.16 ± 0.69)s,(139.38 ± 8.97)s;(7.68 ± 0.80)s, (144.26±9.27)s,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.01).Pathology results showed that the wounds healed well. Conclusion The hemostatic function of biological glue in renal trauma were remarkable and stable,and was worth to be further promoted.

Objective:To observe lethal effect on liver cancer cells by the DCs transfected with recombinant plasmid pchIL -18-MAGE.Methods:Cultivate dendritic cells in vitro ,and recombinant plasmid pchIL-18-MAGE was constructed which was transfected into DCs.Expression of IL-18 and MAGE-1 on the transfected DCs were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.The diversity of DCs phenotypes after transfect were analyzed by flow cytometry.Different killing effects to the target cells by lymphocytes which were stimulated by DC and those by non-transfected DC were detected.IFN-γin the cellular supernatant of the transfected DCs was inspected by ELISA.Results:pchIL-18-MAGE transfected DCs expressed higher level of CD 83,CD1a,CD86,CD80,HLA-DR,and expressed as a mature DC phenotype.pchIL-18-MAGE group′s killing activity was the highest ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion: The DC vaccine pchlL-18-MAGE can induce better killing effect compared with other experimental groups.

Objective: To investigate influence of isometric exercise (IE) training on number of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of circulating blood in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO). Methods: A total of 20 CTO patients were divided into training group (n=10) and control group (n=10). Both groups received routine medication for three months, training group also received three-month IE training (maximal handgrip was used to induce maximum IE of upper limb muscles, leading to temporary physiological ischemia of skeletal muscle),while control group remained sedentary without exercise training. Flow cytometry was used to measure number of blood EPCs, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum concentration of VEGF. Results: Before treatment, the differences of levels of blood EPCs and VEGF between two groups were no significant（P>0.05）. Compared with before treatment, there were significant increase in blood number of EPCs [(0.028±0.009)% vs. (0.044±0.016)%] and VEGF concentration [(65.3±15.1) pg/ml vs. (98.5±17.4)pg/ml] after three-month treatment in training group (P=0.015, P<0.01), and they were significantly higher than those of control group after treatment. Compared with before treatment, there were no significant difference in blood number of EPCs and concentration of VEGF after treatment in control group, P>0.05. The blood numbers of EPCs were positively correlated with VEGF concentration in training group and control group (r=0.727, r=0.785, P<0.05 both). Conclusions: Isometric exercise training can increase blood number of EPCs and VEGF concentration in coronary CTO patients, which may contribute to collateral angiogenesis in remote ischemic myocardium.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of long-term use of calcium channel blocker-Diltiazem(Dil)on the dosage of ciclosporin A and renal function of renal graft recipients.METHODS:Dil was administed in67renal graft recipi?ents,meanwhile who were orally taking CsA with another59renal graft recipients served as controls.The dosages of ci?closporin A of2group were adjusted to the level within therapeutic window,then the dosage of CsA and serum creatinine change of the2groups36mo after drug administration were observed.RESULTS:12mo,24mo and36mo after operation,the synchronized cyclosporin A dosages in Dil group were lower than the control group respectively by14353mg,9656mg and7817mg.No significant differences were found in serum creatinine levels between the2groups within the first12mo after operation.Thereafter,the creatinine levels in the control group has a faster increase and the creatinine level in Dil group was significantly lower than that of the control group18mo～36mo after operation(P
