Objective To study the HBsAg specific CTL activities activated by dendritic cells derived from human monocytes on the HepG2/S target cells, and further to probe into the anti HBV effect of HBsAg DC (dendritic cell) vaccine. Methods DCs are proliferated from human peripheral blood monocytes by adding GM CSF and IL 4 and then HBsAg specific CTL are activated by DCs pulsed by HBsAg; The target cell line (HepG2/S) expressing HBsAg was set up by transfecting recombinated plasmid with HBV/S gene (PLXSN/S) into HepG2/S cell line; HBsAg specific CTL and HepG2/S target cells were cocultured in 96 well flat bottomed microtiter plates for 48 hours at 37 ?C in 5% CO 2, and then HBsAg specific CTL activities activated by DCs pulsed by HBsAg were detected by counting the number of killed target cells. Results HBsAg specific CTL activated by dendritic cells derived from human monocytes could produce strong killing effect on the target cells HepG2/S cells. It's specific CTL activities were 3.8%, 69.5% and 85.1% in different concentration (0 ?g/L,50 ?g/L and 100 ?g/L) respectively. While, it had no killing effect on the HepG2 cells, so the HBsAg specific killing effect was specific. Conclusions The result shows that HBsAg specific CTL activated by dendritic cells derived from human monocytes has strong killing effect on the HBV.

Objective By using multi detector row spiral CT (MDCT) to investigate the CT imaging findings of gallbladder abnormalities caused by hepatic parenchymal diseases and those of inflammatory cholecystitis. Methods CT and clinical data of 80 patients with gallbladder abnormalities were retrospectively reviewed. Fifty patients were in hepatic disease group, including 20 chronic hepatitis, 25 liver cirrhosis, and 5 cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma. Thirty patients were in inflammatory group, including 19 chronic cholecystitis, 6 acute cholecystitis, 3 cholecystitis with acute pancreatitis, 1 gangrenous cholecystitis, and 1 xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis. All patients underwent MDCT plain scan and contrast enhanced dual phase scanning of upper abdomen. Results In hepatic disease group, 48 cases had evenly thickened gallbladder wall (96%) with mean thickness of (3.67?0.49) mm; 38 cases had clear gallbladder outlines (76%); 38 cases had gallbladder wall enhancement of various degree (76%); 14 cases had gallbladder bed edema and localized non dependant pericholecystic fluid collection (28%). In inflammatory cholecystitis group, 28 cases had obscuring gallbladder outlines (93%) ; 26 cases had gallbladder wall evenly thickened (87%), 4 cases showed unevenly thicked wall (13%), the mean thickness being (4.54?1.14) mm; 30 cases had inhomogenous enhancement of the gallbladder wall (100%); 9 cases had high attenuation bile (30%); 4 cases had dependant pericholecystic fluid collection (13%); 5 cases had transient enhancement of adjacent hepatic bed in arterial phase (17%); micro abscess and gas in the gallbladder wall was observed in 1 case respectively. Conclusion MDCT can offer imaging findings useful for differentiating abnormal gallbladder changes caused by hepatic parenchymal diseases from those due to inflammatory cholecystitis.

Objective To understand serotype and fimbriae-genotype of B. pertussis vaccine strains and isolates from different periods in China. Methods Serotype of eighty isolates and three vaccine strains were determined using anti-fim2 and fim3 monoclonal antibodies compared with polyclonal antisera. Fim2 and fim 3 genes were amplified by PCR and the amplified products were sequenced and analyzed . Results The serotype of three vaccine strains and all isolates but only one tested by the slide agglutination and micro-plate assay of anti-fim2 and fim3 monoclonal antibodies were the same in comparison with that of the slide agglutination of polyconal antisera. In this study, seventeen isolates and vaccine strains CS and P3S10 were fim2&3 serotype, and forty-eight isolates were tim2 serotype while fifteen isolates and vaccine strain 18530 were fim3 serotype. The predominant serotypes were fim2 and fim2&3 before Expanded Program on Immuni-zation in 1978, while the find became the most popular serotype after nation-wide pertussis vaccination in China. The fim2-1 and fim3-A genotype was the most common type, which was identified in 92.5% and 95.0% of the isolates, respectively. The genotype of vaccine strain 18530 was fim2-2 and fim3-A while oth-er vaccine strains were fim2-1 and fim3-A. The isolates contained fim3-B and fim3-D subtypes were found since 2000. These data indicated that the serotype and fimbriae genotype of B. pertussis isolates have been changed for immune environment of national-wide pertussis vaccination in China. Conclusion The validity and specificity of anti-fim2 and fim3 monoclonal antibodies have been validated for serotyping of B. pertussis strains. The information of serotype and fimbirae genotype of B. pertussis vaccine strains and isolates from dif-ferent time periods have been obtained. These data can facilitate the studies on quality control of vaccine strain, epidemiology and the evolution of B. pertussis in China.

Objective:To observe the antitumor effect and mechanism of recombinant human endostatin (Endostar) injection in tumor combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin on subcutaneous transplanted Lewis lung cancer in rats.Methods:A total of 30 C57 rats were selected, and the monoplast suspension of Lewis lung cancer was injected into the left axilla to prepare the subcutaneous transplanted tumor models in the axilla of right upper limb. The models were randomly divided into Groups A, B, and C. Medication was conducted when the tumor grew to 400 mm3. Group A was the control group without any interventional treatment. Group B was injected with Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. Group C was given the injection of Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. All the rats in three groups were executed the day after the 10-d medication and the tumor was taken off for measurement of volume and mass changes and calculation of antitumor rate, after which the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration in rats’plasma was determined by ELISA. The tumor tissues were cut for the preparation of conventional biopsies. After hematoxylin-eosin staining, the pathologic histology was examined to observe the structures of tumor tissues, VEGF score and microvessel density (MVD) in each group. Results:The volume and mass of tumor in Groups B and C were significantly lower than Group A (P< 0.05) while the tumor volume and mass in Group C were significantly lower than Group B (P < 0.05). The antitumor rate in Group C was significantly higher than Group B (P < 0.05), but the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level in Group C were significantly lower than Groups A and B (P < 0.05). In Group B, the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level were significantly lower than Group A (P < 0.05). The microscopic image of Group C showed that its number of active tumor cells and the blood capillary around tumor was significantly smaller than that of Groups A and B, and meanwhile atrophy and liquefactive necrosis were seen in local tumor.Conclusions:Endostar injection combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin is effective in reducing tumor VEGF score and MVD of transplanted tumor tissues in rats with Lewis lung cancer to obstruct the nutrient supply of tumor cells and kill tumor cells, so that the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and metastasis can be achieved with a remarkable effect.
