Objective To study the effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on neonatal lymphocyte immune function. Methods Cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMCs) and CD3+ T lymphocytes were isolated from 8 neonates and were cultured with IVIG and/or/without phytohemagglutinin (PHA)based on which divided into five groups, i. e. (l)control group, (2)PHA activation group, (3) IVIG pre-inhibition group, (4) PHA pre-activation group and (5) PHA+IVIG group. The production of IFN-? and IL-4 of CBMCs and cord blood CD3+ T lymphocytes was measured with ELISA and the expression of IL-2 and IL-4 mRNA was measured with RT-PCR. The results were compared with peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) of 8 adults. Results The production of IFN-y by CBMCs and cord blood CD3+ T lymphocytes induced by PHA decreased after IVIG was given, while more remarkable decrease in the CBMCs was shown without any association with IVIG was given or not before or after PHA was used [Group 2; (313. 34?108. 00)pg/ml, Group 3: (17. 68?17. 98) pg/ml, group 4 : (170. 72?38. 25) pg/ml, group 5: (11. 10?8. 92)pg/ml]. For the CD3+ T lymphocytes, the decrease of IFN-? production was only observed in group 3, 4 and group 5 [(35. 30 ?12. 21)pg/ml, (8. 61?6. 21) pg/ml and (8. 54?1. 57)pg/ml]. The degree of decrease of IFN-? production by CBMCs was much lower [group 2: (1121. 11 ? 344. 58)pg/ml, group 3: (29. 08 ? 11. 20)pg/ml, group 4: (339. 63?47. 43) pg/ml, group 5: (26.40?21. 97)pg/ml]. The secretion for IL-4 did not changed when stimulated by PHA alone, but IL-2 and IL-4 mRNAs expression can be detected in CBMCs after repeated stimulation by PMA, PHA and rIL-2 which decreased after IVIG was given. Conclusions IVIG can suppress the production of IFN-? in cord blood T lymphocyte directly or mediated by other immune cells or molecules. IVIG can also decreased the expression of IL-2 mRNA and IL-4 mRNA in CBMCs. The effect of IVIG on the proliferation of cord blood lymphocytes and production of immunoglobulin in B lymphocytes might be associated with these inhibition.

Objective To investigate the cause of high cardiovascular lethality in patients with diabetics mellitus. Methods Sections from autopsied coronary arteries and myocardium of dead patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetics mellitus and 12 dead control subjects were used for histomorphometric studies. Results The coronary atherosclerotic lesion in diabetics patients was not different in severity from those in controls. Nor was there difference in number of myofibers or diameters of myocardic fibers and capillaries.But the capillary density and the ratio of capillary number to myocardic fiber number in diabetics group were significeantly reduced compared with control group(P<0.0 l),and the capillary basement membrane in the former was significantly thicker than in the latter(P<0.01).Conclision The decrease in number of capillaries and the thickening of basement membrane enhance myocardiac vulnerability to further ischemia and hypoxia,which may undelie high lethality of myocardiopathy in diabetic patients.
