Dendritic cells (DCs) are the important auxiliary cells in tumor vaccines to activate antitumor immunity.Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 ( SOCS1 ) has been shown to play an important role in inhibition of cytokine signal transduction.Recent studies show that inhibition of the function of SOCS1 in DCs plays a critical role in strongly enhancing tumor vaccines antitumor activity,and in the methods of restraining SOCS1 's function have also made significant progress.

PURPOSE To investigate the effects of all trans retinoic acid(ATRA) on the growth of gastric cancer cells and explore the mechanism relevant to enzyme.METHODS With MTT method the growth inhibition of gastric cancer cells was measured;the activity of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),alkaline phosphatase(ALP) and ? glucuronidase(? G) was measured with metaplate;The activity of succinate dehydrogenase(SDH) was assayed with cytochemical method.RESULTS The growth of MGc80 3, but not MKN 45, was inhibited,which is dependent on the concentration of ATRA.The activity of LDH,ALP and ? G of Mgc80 3 was suppressed and the activity of SDH of Mgc80 3 was enhanced.But all the four enzymes′ activity of MKN 45 were not obviously changed except that introcelluar ? G activity was inhibited.CONCLUSIONS The sensitivity of gastric cancer cells to ATRA is different,which is closely related with the change of enzyme activity.

Objective To investigate the correlation between cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) T833C gene polymorphism and the plasma homocysteine (Hey) levels in patients with ischemic cerebral vascular disease(ICVD). Methods Three hundred and sixty patients with ICVD and 210 control subjects were enrolled. The T833C polymorphism of CBS gene was analyzed by the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS). Plasma Hey levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection(HPLC-FD). Results Plasma Hey levels in the ICVD group ((17.6±4.8) μmol/L) were higher than those in control group ((13.3±4.3) μmol/L, t = 10.716, P< 0.05) . There were no differences in genotype frequencies and allele frequencies between the ICVD group and contral group (χ2 = 0.785, 0.941 ,P>0.05). Plasma Hey levels in CC genotype or TC genotype were higher than those in TT genotype (F = 6.56, P< 0.05). Condusions High plasma Hey level is an independent risk factor of ICVD,but CBS T833C polymorphism may not associated with ICVD.

Objective To investigate the correlation between NAD(P)H oxidase p22phox C242T polymorphism and carotid atherosclerosis(CA)in Chinese population.Methods 138 patients with CA and 130 control subjects were recruited.C242T polymorphism of p22 phox was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)for determination of its genotype. Results The CT genotype frequencies in the CA group and control group were 0.268 and 0.139, respectively,and no TF genotype was found.The CT genotype frequency of the CA group was significantly higher than that of the control group(X2=6.899,P=0.009).It was found that systolic blood pressure, blood glucose,low density lipoprotein cholesterol smoking and the NAD(P)H oxidase p22 phox C242T polymorphism were independent risk factors for CA by Logistic regression analysis.Conclusions The NAD(P)H oxidase p22 phox C242T polymorphism may be a risk factor for CA.

The endothelial cells activated by tumor cells are genetically stable and regress easily. Moreover, at the surface there are specific markers, which are easily accessible by system administration. This report review the studies of tumor treatment targeting at the activated endothelial cells.

Objective To establish the method of testing immunoglobulin G (IgG) with Fc sialylation, and to investigate the clinical significance of IgG with Fc sialylation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), especially in those with neuropsychiatric manifestations (NPSLE). Methods Seventy-five SLE including thirty patients with neuropsychiatric manifestations (NPSLE) and forty-five non-NPSLE patients, 30 rheuma-toid arthritis (RA) patients, 32 juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients and 41 healthy controls were recruited in this study. Standard method of testing lgG with Fc sialylation was established by a lectin based sandwiched enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of IgG with Fc sailylation were assayed, and its clinical significance was evaluated. Results There were no difference in the levels of serum IgG with Fc sailylation in RA group (0.82±1.81) mg/ml, JIA group (0.69±1.30) mg/ml, healthy control group (0.64± 1.09) mg/ml, and the levels of IgG with Fc sailylation in SLE group (0.12±0.17) mg/ml (P<0.01), especially in NPSLE group [(0.03±0.03) mg/ml, P<0.01] was significantly lower than that of control groups. The perc-entage of IgG with Fc sialylation in control group (4.64±5.90)% were significantly higher than that in non-NPSLE (1.88±2.16)% (P<0.01) and in NPSLE (0.29±0.47)% (P<0.01). The percentage of IgG with Fc sial-ylation was negatively associated with SLEDAI score (r=-0.43, P<0.01). Conclusion Significantly low level of serum IgG with Fc sialylation was associated with disease activity in SLE patients, especially in NPSLE patients, lgG with Fc sialylation may be a new target for therapeutic strategy.

Method We used biomechanical methods in controlling strain of anterior tibial muscles of rabbits .Objective To observe the histological and enzymohistochemical change after sprain.Result Experimental model of muscle sprain could be made with yield load which was about 128% of the body weight extracting anterior tibial muscle of the rabbits.Some of the muscle fibers broke near the junction between muscle and the tendon. Conclusion Fibrosis of endomysium and scar formation at the injury might be an important cause of frequent recurrence of muscle sprain.

A total of 178 patients with the time of mechanical ventilation beyond 48 hours in the second affiliated hospital of Wenzhou medical college from January 2010 to December 2013 were enrolled in this study,and there were fifty-six patients with ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT).The associated factors included age,sex,blood pressure,blood glucose,BMI,the time of mechanical ventilation,tracheal intubation methods,raise head to 30-45°,proton pump inhibitors (PPI),prophylactic antibiotic treatment,glasgow coma scale (GCS),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APECHE) Ⅱ score.The related factors of VAT were evaluated by using univariate logistical regression analysis,and the statistical significant variables were analyzed by using multivariate logistical regression analysis.By using univariate logistical regression analysis age,blood glucose,the time of mechanical ventilation,raise head to 30-45°,prophylactic antibiotic treatment,GCS and APECHE Ⅱ score were the important factors of VAT (P ＜ 0.05),but sex,blood pressure,BMI,tracheal intubation methods and PPI were insignificant related to VAT(P ＞ 0.05).By using multivariate logistical regression analysis the time of mechanical ventilation (OR =4.072,95％ CI 2.036-8.146),GCS[2.198(1.155-4.184)],age[2.128 (1.119-4.046)],APECHE Ⅱ score [2.109 (1.084-4.104)] and raise head to 30-45 ° [0.488 (0.243-0.979)] were associated independently with the VAT.The time of mechanical ventilation,GCS,age over 60 years,APECHE Ⅱ score and raise head to 30-45°were the independent factors associated with VAT.

Objective To investigate whether gemcitabine (GEM) could enhance radiosensitivity of human non-small cell lung cancer cells and its related mechanism.Methods Clonogenic assay was used to analyze radiosensitivity enhancement by GEM on p53 mutant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line 973.Alterations of cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry.Results Mild radiosesitizing effect was observed when 10 nmol/L GEM was administrated before or after irradiation.Marked radiosesitizing effect was demonstrated when 100 nmol/L GEM was administrated before or after irradiation, with much stronger effect of pre-irradiation GEM treatment.Mutation of p53 gene affected cell cycle redistribution and cell apoptosis, but had no relationship with radiosensitivity enhancement of GEM.Conclusions 100 nmol/L GEM could significantly enhance radiosensitivity of human lung cancer cells.However, this effect may not be associated with p53 gene mutation, cell cycle redistribution or cell apoptosis.
