Objective To compare the immune regulation of syngenic and allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the transplantation combined with islets. Methods After induction of diabetes in 30 Lewis rats with streptozotocin (STZ), the recipient Lewis rats received islets from SD rats combined with syngenic (group B) or allogenic (group C) MSCs injection via the portal vein. The group of islets transplanted alone served as control (group A). The survival time of grafts in all groups was assessed by the level of blood glucose. ELISA was used to detect the levels of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4 and IL-10 in the peripheral blood on the 1st and 3rd day after transplantation. Results The blood glucose levels in all three groups were decreased in a normal range (13. 9 mmol/L) and the survival time of grafts in group B (11.38 ± 4. 03 days) was significantly longer than in group C (5. 50± 2. 07 days) as well as group A (2. 88 ± 1.25 days). On the 1 st and 3rd day after transplantation, the levels of TH 1 cytokines IFN-γ and IL-2 in group A were significantly higher than in groups C and B (P＜0.05). Meanwhile the levels of TH 2 cytokine IL-10were increased in group B, but there was no significant difference between groups A and C (P＞0.05). The levels of IL-4 had no significant difference among these three groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Islet transplantation combined with MSCs could prolong the survival time of grafts.Syngenic MSCs, superior to allogenic ones, were more effective in changing the balance of TH1/TH2to TH2. Decreased expression of TH1 cytokine (IFN-γ, IL-2), which was closely related to the induction of immune tolerance, was beneficial to the long-term survival of grafts.

Objective To investigate the causes on platelet distribution width (PDW)results not shown in the automatic he-matology analyzer and evaluate the accuracy of the platelet results of these samples with the automatic hematology analyzer. Methods The platelet morphology was observed in microscope for the specimen which PDW were not shown in the auto-matic hematology analyzer.And the platelet results counted in microscope were statistically compared with that in the auto-matic hematology analyzer.Results In the 200 specimens which PDW were not shown in automatic hematology analyzer, there were 104 specimens(52%)in which large platelet was found,36 cases(18%)in which platelet aggregation was visible, 28 cases(14%)in which the microcytes or erythrocyte debris could be seen,32 cases(16%)in which the obvious abnormal was not found.The platelet results counted in microscope for the specimens,in which large platelets,platelet aggregation or microcytes were found,were very different with the results counted with the automatic hematology analyzer(P < 0.05).The PDW of the 200 specimens were rechecked in the automatic hematology analyzer.And 64 cases (32%)PDW results were got,of which 55 cases(85.9%)PDW results were beyond the normal range.Conclusion The main causes for the PDW not shown in automatic hematology analyzer includes large platelets,platelets aggregation and microcytes etc.The platelet re-sults in these specimens by automatic hematology analyzer were different with that counted in microscope.Therefore,the platelet of these specimens should be counted in microscope.

Objective To observe the role of nitric oxide(NO) in the immune regulatory effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs). Methods Bone marrow MSCs were isolated from Lewis rats by adherence screening. Concanavalin A (ConA) was adopted as the stimulator and T-lymphocyte isolated from peripheral blood of SD rats as the reactive cells. The changes of the ability of T-lymphocyte proliferation, when co-cultured with MSCs, were measured by CCK-8 assay. The inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA and protein expression on MSCs and were detected by RT-PCR, Western blot. The contents of nitrites and the levels of Th1 type cytokine IFN-γand Th2 type cytokine IL-4 were measured by Griess test and ELISA respectively, in the co-cultured supernatant. Results T-lymphocyte proliferation was inhibited by co-cultured MSCs, which was concentration-dependent. In this study, the inhibition was most obviously group[ (79.03 ± 1.70)% ] (P ＞ 0.05 ). The I NOS mRNA expression, protein and nitrite levels were signifigroups, the proliferation rate of T-lymphocyte recovered. The content of IFN-γwas increased with the ratio decline of MSCs in the experimental group and IL-4 in each group has no significant difference( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion MSCs inhibited T-lymphocyte proliferation by influencing Th1/Th2 balance, and the secretion of soluble factor NO, which secreted by MSCs, may plays an important role in the immune regulation.

Objective:To study preoperative MRI imaging and its enhanced mode on tumor features in predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The clinical data of patients with a solitary HCC who underwent MRI examination followed by surgical resection at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2017 to June 2019 were studied. The patients were divided into the MVI (+ ) and MVI (-) groups according to the findings on postoperative pathological diagnosis. The relationship between the rates of MVI and MRI tumor features including diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signal, enhancement mode, enhancement type and other imaging characteristics were analysed.Results:Of 84 patients with HCC enrolled into this study, there were 65 males and 19 females. Their age (Mean±SD) was (54.94±11.51) years. MVI (+ ) was found in 46 patients and MVI (-) in 38 patients. The maximum tumor diameters (Mean±SD) of the two groups were (7.08±3.45) cm and (4.28±2.47) cm ( P<0.01). Single-factor analysis and comparison of imaging characteristics of the two groups of patients showed tumor DWI signal, tumor encapsulation, enhancement mode, tumor edge smoothness, abnormal enhancement around tumors, and intratumoral arteries were significantly different ( P<0.05); There were no significant differences in T 1WI signals, T 2WI signals, tumor periphery, and enhancement types between groups. After inputting MVI(+ ) as a risk factor into the logistic regression model, tumor maximum diameters >6.33 cm, type 3/4 enhancement mode, and unsmoothness of tumor edge were independent risk factors (all P<0.05). Through combined diagnosis using ROC curve analysis with a cut-off value of 0.53, the area under the curve was 0.881, the sensitivity 0.870, specificity 0.789, and the Youden index 0.659. Conclusion:The multivariate logistic regression model and combined diagnosis using ROC curve analysis improved the diagnostic efficacy of MVI in its prediction of HCC on imaging studies. The risk predictors were easy to use and to promote in clinical practice.

Objectives To investigate the incidence of brain injuri in premature infants in ten hospitals of seven large cities in China sponsored by the Subspecialty Group of Neonatology of Pediatric Society, China Medical Association. Methods All premature infants with gestational age less than 37 weeks in ten hospitals were given routine cranial ultrasound within three days of birth, and then repeated every 3-7 days till the discharge from the hospital during January 2005 to August 2006. Results Incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and severe IVH were 10.8% (406/3 768) and 2.4% (92/3 768) with 22.6% (92/406) for grade 1, 54.7% (222/406) for grade 2, 17.2% (70/406) for grade 3 and 5.4% (22/406) for grade 4 in nine hospitals; incidence of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and cystic PVL were 2.3% (112/4 933) and 0.3% (16/4 933) with 85.7% (96/112) for grade 1, 12.5% (14/112) for grade 2, and 1.8% (2/112) for grade 3 including all ten hospitals, respectively. Risk factors associated with increased severity of IVH were vaginal delivery (OR = 1.874, 95% CI = 1.172 - 2.997, P < 0.01), perinatal asphyxia (OR = 1.598, 95% CI = 1.077 - 2.372, P < 0.05), mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.988, 95% CI= 2.448 -6.948, P< 0.01), and amniotic fluid contamination (OR = 2.192, 95% CI = 1.054 - 4.544, P< 0.05). Risk factors that might result in the development of cystic PVL were vaginal delivery (OR = 1.400, 95% CI = 1.186 - 1.652, P < 0.001) and mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.000, 95% CI = 1.015 - 8.864, P < 0.05). Conclusions These data reflect basically the prevalence of brain injuriy in premature infants in major cities of China. However, more than 60% of population lives in the rural area, further multicenter investigation including the rural area is expected to be undertaken in future.

Objective To investigate the effect of sepsis on vecuronium-induced inhibition of acetylcholine release in neuromuscular junction in rats.Methods Thirty-six adult male SPF SpragueDawley rats,aged 2-3 months,weighing 200-220 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=12 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),sham operation group (group S) and sepsis group (group Sep).Sepsis was induced by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) in rats anesthetized with intraperitoneal chloral hydrate 350 mg/kg.At 12 h after CLP,the sciatic nerve-pretibial muscle was prepared.Vecuronium was added to the culture medium with the final concentration of 0.08 μg/ml,and the sciatic nerve-pretibial muscle was incubated for 15 min.Before and after administration,evoked endplate potentials (EPPs) and miniature endplate potentiais (MEPPs) were recorded by using intracellular microelectrode.EPP/MEPP ratio was calculated.Results Compared to C and S groups,EPPs,MEPPs and EPP/MEPP ratio were significantly increased before and after administration in group Sep.EPPs,MEPPs and EPP/MEPP ratio were significantly lower after administration than before administration in the three groups.Conclusion Sepsis can promote acetylcholine release in neuromuscular junction,thus weakening vecuronium-induced inhibition of acetylcholine release in neuromuscular junction in rats.

Background and purpose:The risk of recurrence for colorectal cancer after curative surgery is up to 30%-40%. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between time to relapse (TTR) of colorectal cancer with clinical pathological parameters and overall survival after recurrence. Methods:We carried out the analysis of clinical data, pathological examination and follow up information of 375 colorectal cancer patients who admitted to Liaoning Cancer Hospital. Patients were categorized into relapse at<2, 2-5 and>5 years following their initial surgery. Results:TTR was associated with the clinical stage at diagnosis and liver or lung metastasis status. Short TTR (<2 years) was positively associated with survival. However, there was no significant difference in survival between patients who relapsed at 5 years or later compared with those who relapsed between 2 and 5 years. Conclusion:TTR within 2 years is an important predictor of shorter survival for colorectal cancer patients who experienced a relapse.
