Monocytes,Kupffer cells,spleen macrophages,lung and peritoneal macrophageswere isolated from same rat simultaneously.The effector cells from diverse anato-mical sites were checked for their tumor cytostatic properties using an in vitro tar-get cell growth inhibition assay through measuring (~3H)-TdR incorporation intotumor cell DNA.All of them expressed spontaneous cytostatic activity against hu- man SMMC-7721 hepatoma and mouse YAC-1 lymphoma cells.The effector cells,except monocytes,were shown to exert inhibition on various target cells with diffe-rences in their susceptibility.The cytostasis against either tumor cell lines variedwith five types of effector cells.The most effective cells for inhibiting the growthof lymphoma were monocytes,and Kupffer cells for heptoma,The effector cellsstimulated by Corynebacterium parvum (CP) in vitro were shown that their cytostaticactivity against YAC-1 was increased up to 140-408%,but to heptoma,it wasdecreased to 48-64%.Furthermore,the efficiency of CP stimulation varied withdifferent effector cells also.It is concluded that monocytes and macrophages withsuch natural selective tumor cytostatic capacity were thus everywhere readily availa-ble for activation.CP may enhance or inhibit the cytostatic effect of monocytes andmacrophages on diverse tumor cell lines.It might suggest that the use of CP in thetumor immunotherapy should be considered with different type of tumors.

Thirty-six male adult rats were divided into 12 groups. The rats, except the control group, were partially (68%) hepatectomized and then killed at intervals between 12-120h after operation. Isolated hepatocytes were prepared and flow cytometry was used to study the proliferative cycle. Mitotic index and binuclear cell count have been performed in liver sections and smears of isolated hepatocytes separately. Tetraploid cells acounted for 76% of all hepatocytes in normal rats and they also constituted the main proliferative population in regenerating liver. During 12-20h after operation, some of the tetraploid cells that remained in G_2 phase entered into mitosis. At 24h after operation, peaks of S phase in tetraploid cells and of octoploid cells occurred. At 36h after operation, mitotic index reached a maxium value and thereafter the percentage of binuclear cells were reduced rapidly. At 48-72h after operation, second peak of DNA synthesis occurred, but showed wide individual variations in time and cell proportion.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of therapeutic plasma exchange with continuous renal replacement therapy in patients with early septic shock.Methods:A total of 55 patients with septic shock admitted to ICU of Mindong Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from December 2017 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the therapeutic plasma exchange group ( n=29) and standard-therapy group ( n=26) according to whether plasma exchange combined with hemofiltration was used. Patients in both groups were treated according to the 2016 Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines. No hemofiltration or/and plasma exchange therapy was performed in the standard-therapy group. In the therapeutic plasma exchange group, hemofiltration was performed immediately after plasma exchange within 24 h. The inflammatory indexes, hemodynamic indexes, organ function scores and 28-day mortality were monitored before and 24 h after treatment. χ2 test was used for counting data, t-test was used for measurement data, and Kaplan-Meier curve was used to evaluate 28-day survival status. Results:(1) There were no differences in sex, age, underlying diseases, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score before treatment between the two groups. (2) There were no significant differences in PCT, CRP and IL-6 between the two groups at enrollment. After treatment, PCT, CRP and IL-6 in the therapeutic plasma exchange group were significantly lower than those in the standard-therapy group [PCT (ng/mL): (50.07±14.54) vs. (57.93±13.42), P=0.043; CRP (mg/L): (85.71±46.05) vs. (115.10±44.42), P=0.042; IL-6 (pg/mL): (5 957.45±2 344.48) vs. (7 522.94±3 218.94), P=0.043], but there was no significant difference in WBC between the two groups. (3) There were no significant differences in norepinephrine dose, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and Lactate level between the two groups. After treatment, the norepinephrine dose, lactate level and EVLWI in the therapeutic plasma exchange group decreased significantly, while SVRI increased significantly {norepinephrine dose [μg/(kg·min): (0.76±0.39) vs. (0.54±0.39), P=0.044; lactate (μmmol/ L): (7.74±4.22) vs. (4.51±1.62), P<0.001; EVLWI (mL/kg): (10.04±2.77) vs. (8.23±2.23), P=0.008; SVRI (dyn·s/cm 2): (1 103.14±364.94) vs. (1 403.31±264.46), P=0.001}. Compared with the standard-therapy, the 24-h intravenous infusion volume was significantly decreased [(3 852.07±686.43) mL vs. (4 474.81±572.71) mL, P=0.001]. (4) There were no significant differences in APACHEⅡscore and SOFA score between the two groups at enrollment. After treatment, the APACHEⅡscore and SOFA score of the therapeutic plasma exchange group were significantly lower than those of the standard-therapy group [APACHEⅡscore: (14.07±4.30) vs. (19.23±5.44), P<0.001; SOFA score: (9.93±1.16) vs. (11.69±1.81), P<0.001)]. There were no significant differences in ICU mortality and 28-day mortality between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Therapeutic plasma exchange with continuous renal replacement therapy can reduce the inflammatory response and improve hemodynamics in patients with septic shock. However, 24 h treatment did not improve the mortality of patients.

The widespread application of next generation sequencing (NGS) in clinical settings has enabled testing, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic diseases. However, many issues have arisen in the meanwhile. One of the most pressing issues is the lack of standards for reporting genetic test results across different service providers. The First Forum on Standards and Specifications for Clinical Genetic Testing was held to address the issue in Shenzhen, China, on October 28, 2017. Participants, including geneticists, clinicians, and representatives of genetic testing service providers, discussed problems of clinical genetic testing services across in China and shared opinions on principles, challenges, and standards for reporting clinical genetic test results. Here we summarize expert opinions presented at the seminar and report the consensus, which will serve as a basis for the development of standards and guidelines for reporting of clinical genetic testing results, in order to promote the standardization and regulation of genetic testing services in China.
