1.T helper cell 17 (Th17) and its role in solid organ transplantation
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2013;19(8):636-640
T helper 17 cells (Th17) are a novel subset of CD4+ T cells that undergo differentiation from naive CD4 T cells through the activation of a key nuclear transcription factor,retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt),and in the presence of multiple cytokines,such as transforming growth factorβ1 (TGF-β1),interleukin6 (IL-6),as well as IL-23.Th17 cells induce their biological effect by secreting IL-17A and other cytokines.Research has demonstrated that Th17 cells have an intimate relationship with acute/chronic transplant reactions and that Th17 cell lineages have the possibility to become the new target for treating transplant rejections.Identification of Th17 cells also provides an additional strategy for inducing immune tolerance.

Journal of Practical Stomatology 2000;0(05):-
Objective:To compare effects of APF and APF-La(NO3)3 on enamel surface layer and to probe the mechanism of combined application of APF-La(NO3)3 on deciduous molars. Methods:9 caries-free second lower molars were selected and divided randomly into two groups: APF group (n=4) and APF-La(NO3)3 group (n=5). All teeth were cut into two parts, paralleled to axis of the teeth, along the line connecting mesial buccal and lingual cusps. Mesial parts were experimental group and distal parts were control group. Spot analysis of EPMA was performed to measure concentration of F or/and La in enamel surface layers, and compare changes of concentration of F in enamel surface layers treated with APF solution and changes of concentration of F and La treated with APF-La(NO3)3 solution. Results: ①Concentrations of F in enamel surface layers increased in APF experimental group. ②Concentrations of F and La increased in deciduous teeth enamel surface layers of APF-La(NO3)3 experimental group. ③ Increment of F in cusp of deciduous molar is the same as that of pit in APF experimental group. ④ Increment of F and La in cusp of deciduous molar was the same as that of pit in APF-La(NO3)3 experimental group. Conclusion:Compared with APF, treatment by APF-La(NO3)3 can increase the concentrations of both La and F in enamel surface layer while there is no difference of increment between cusp and pit in each group. The result can provide useful data for prevention of caries in children.

OBJECTIVE To prevent the infection at intravenous injection site with peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC). METHODS The relationship between infection with sites,methods,and times of PICC placement in 160 patients was observed. RESULTS There was no correlated infection in all the patients,but family nursing might lead to infection. CONCLUSIONS Regular management and standard operation can prevent infection.Instructions of family nursing and follow-up are necessary for infection control.

Objective To observe the treatment effect and relapse prevention of cardioversion of atrial fibrillation with Wenxin granules and amiodarone. Methods Sixty patients of chronic atrial fibrillation were divided randomly into treatment of Wenxin granules and amiodarone group (group A) and treatment of simple amiodarone gorup(group B),Thirty cases in each group. All cases were treated with amiodarone by intravenous drip along with oral amiodarone. Thirty cases in group A were treated with Wenxin granules (9 grams,per day) additionally for 4 weeks. Results Patients in group A resumed normal sinus rhythm significantly higher than that in group B. The increasing relapse tendency of atrial fibrillation was higher in group B within 6 months. Conclusion Drug combination with Wenxin granules and amiodarone has better effect than simple amiodarone in the relapse prevention of cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.

Objective: To explore the inhibition effects of ectogenic wild type p53 cDNA(Ad wtp53) on colorectal carcinoma cell lines with different p53 gene status and search for the role of wild type p53 tumor suppressor gene in occurrenc and progress of malignant tumor. Methods: MTT process was taken to choose optimal transfection titre. Three kinds of cell lines(p53 gene deletion, mutation and nomal) were transferred by Ad wtp53 in optimal titre. The inhibition effects of these cell lines were observed and compared. Results: The best titre is 1000 MOI and p53 gene deletion cell line (THC 8908) shew the highest sensitivity. G 1 S transition period blocking effects occurred in all cell lines and G 2 M phase regulation effects were not coincidence in three colorectal cell lines. Conclusions: Recombinant adenovirus mediated wild type p53 gene observably inhibited colorectal carcinoma cell lines growth and proliferation, blocked cell cycle in G 0 /G 1 phase and displayed obvious different actions on G 2 M phase among cell lines with different p53 status.

Aim To study the inhibitory effects of gambogenic acid in combination with miR-218 on cervical cancer HeLa cells and its mechanisms.Methods Eukaryotic expression vector of miR-218(pmi8-218) was transfected into HeLa cells.Transcript levels of miR-218 were quantified by real-time quantitative PCR.HeLa cells were incubated with different concentrations of gambogenic acid alone or in combination with pmiR-218.The cell growth inhibiting ratio of HeLa cells was assessed by MTT assay.Cell apoptosis was measured by fluorescence activated cell sorting.The expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax and E-cadherin were measured by Western blot and qRT-PCR.Results Levels of miR-218 transcript significantly increased in pmiR-218 transfected HeLa cells.Overexpression of miR-218 may enhance the sensitivity of HeLa cells to gambogenic acid.Over expression of miR-218 could enhance the effect of gambogenic acid on inhibition cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis of HeLa cells.pmiR-218 could enhance the regulation of Bax expression and decrease the expression of Bcl-2 in HeLa cells.Conclusions Over expression of miR-218 may enhance the sensitivity of HeLa cells to gambogenic acid;miR-218 can enhance the effect of gambogenic acid on inhibition cell proliferation and promote the apoptosis of HeLa cells, and the mechanism may be related to down-regulation of Bcl-2/Bax expression.

Objective:To investigate the mechanisms of IL-1β promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. Methods: The“Transwell? Inserts” system was used to coculture lung cancer cells A549,NCI-H520 with macrophages. BrdU ELISA used to measure the effect of macrophages promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. Expression of mRNA of IL-1β in A549 and NCI-H520 cells were analysed by Real-time PCR analysis. IL-1β was responsible for macrophage-promoted lung cancer cells growth, IL-1β neutralizing antibody was added. The autophagy marker Beclin1 protein was detected by Western blot. Results:The BrdU ELISA assay showed that after coincubation with macrophages in the proportion of 1:0. 5,the OD value of A549 increased from(0. 41±0. 06)to(1. 13±0. 10). There was statistical significance(P<0. 05). It also showed that the growth of the A549 cell was dependent on the macrophage number (P<0. 05). The OD value variability of NCI-H520 cells was as same as A549 cell upon cocultured with macrophages. Real-time PCR results showed that the expression of IL-1β mRNA in macrophages was remarkably enhanced in a time dependent manner upon coincubated with lung cancer cell,and the expression level was higher than lung cancer cells. Addition of IL-1β neutralizing antibody markedly inhibited macrophage-promoted lung cancer cells proliferation. The OD value of these two cells were decreased from ( 3. 63 ± 0. 33) to (1. 46±0. 18),from (2. 94±0. 38) to (1. 53±0. 20),respectively (P<0. 05). After treatment with IL-1β,the expression of Beclin1 was significantly inhibited in tumor cells. Conclusion:Over-expression of IL-1βfrom macrophages and lung cancer cells is re-sponsible for proliferation of tumor cells in coculture condition. Inhibition of autophagy in tumor cells may be the important mechanisms of IL-1β promotes lung cancer cells proliferation.
