Objective To study dectin-1 mRNA expression in lung of different immune status mice infected with Aspergillusfumigatus, and to explore the influence of immunosuppressive agent on the expression of dectin-1 and its relationship with the progression of disease. Methods Mice were divided into four groups which were normal control, immuncompromised, immuncompromised with A.fumigatus inoculation and immuncompetent with A.fumigatus inoculation groups. We explored the kinetic mRNA expression of dectin-1 in lung of different groups by real-time quantitative PCR. Pulmonary fungal burden assessment was performed to reflect the progressing of disease during the experimental time course. Results On day 3 after inoculation, pulmonary fungal burden of the immuncompromised mice was higher than that of the immuncompetent group. On day 1 and 3, dectin-I mRNA expression in lung of the immuncompromised group was much lower than that of the normal control. On day 3, dectin-1 mRNA expression in lung of the immuncompetent mice infected with A.fumigatus was much higher than that of the immuncompromised with A.fumigatus inoculation and the normal control groups ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion During the infection, expression of dectin-1 in lung of the immuncompetent group was strikingly increased, which may play an important role on the defence to A.fumigatus invasion. Cyclophosphamide inhibited the expression of dectin-1 in lung of mice which may be one of the mechanisms of the invasive pulmonary aspergillosis development induced by eyclophosphamide.

Objective To evaluate the safety of mesohepatectomy for centrally located large hepatic tumors.Methods The clinical data of 37 patients who underwent hepatectomy for centrally located large liver tumors in our hospital from October 2010 to August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.During the operation,the left and right hemilivers were mobilized.Slings for the improved liver hanging maneuver and for selective hepatic vascular occlusion were placed.These slings were used when necessary in order to minimize occlusion and ischemia time to the residual liver,and to maximize the volume of functional liver remnant.Mesohepatectomy was carried out using a microwave hemostatic separator.The feasibility,its effects on preventing hemorrhage,the degree of liver damage and the postoperative complications were evaluated.Results The mean diameter of the neoplasms was (12.6 ± 7.2) cm.The vascular inflow occlusion time of the left and right hemilivers were (12.2 ±3.5) min and (18.5 ±7.1) min,respectively.The blood loss was (487 ± 352) ml.The amount of red blood cell transfusion was (2.7 ± 1.9) U.The operation time was (215 ± 72) min.TBIL,ALT and AST reached their peak levels on the 1 st day after operation and they were higher than before surgery (P ＜ 0.01).The levels were then significantly decreased on the 3rd day after operation.However,the TBIL (P ＜ 0.05),ALT (P ＜ 0.01) and AST (P ＜ 0.05) were higher than the preoperative level,and only returned to normal or were close to the preoperative value on the 7th day after operation (P ＞ 0.05).The initial increase in ALT was quick and then it slowed down,while the initial increase in AST was slow but it decreased quickly.Conclusions Mesohepatectomy for centrally located large hepatic tumors could safely be carried out using the liver hanging maneuver combined with selective hepatic vascular occlusion and a microwave hemostatic separator.This method has the advantages of causing less bleeding,liver damage and rapid recovery.

Objective To study the mechanism of adaptive immunity against Rhizopus arrihizus (R. arrihizus) infections. Methods Bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were separated from C57BL/6 mice and Card9-/- mice and then were cultured in vitro. Resting spores and swollen spores of R. arrihizus were in vitro co-cultured with BMDCs with or without Syk inhibition. Secretion of cytokines ( IL-23, IL-1βand IL-12) was analyzed by ELISA after 24 hours of culture. Na?ve T cells derived from C57BL/6 mice were in vitro co-cultured with spore-stimulated BMDCs for four days. Levels of IL-17A and IFN-γ in supernatants of cell culture were analyzed by ELISA. Flow cytometry was performed to analyze T cell differ-entiation. Confocal microscopy was used to observe the images of stained β-glucan on the surface of resting and swollen spores. Swollen spores were co-cultured with Dectin-1, Dectin-2, TLR2 and mannose receptor ( MMR) , and the binding results were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results Swollen spores but resting spores could induce the maturation of BMDCs and promote the secretion of cytokines (IL-23, IL-1βand IL-12). Co-culturing T cells with swollen spore-stimulated BMDCs enhanced their differentiation to Th17 and Th1. In addition, swollen spores promoted the secretion of Th1-related cytokine ( IFN-γ) and Th17-related cytokine (IL-17A). Adding Syk inhibitor to Card9-/-BMDCs or wild type BMDCs significantly inhibited the secretion of cytokines and T cell differentiation, especially in the Card9-/- group. β-glucan was overserved on the surface of swollen spores, but not on resting spores. On the surface of swollen spores existed pathogen associated molecular patterns ( PAMPs) that could bind with Dectin-1 and TLR2. Conclusion Swollen spores of R. arrihizus could active BMDCs to secrete cytokines of IL-23, IL-1β and IL-12 and trigger T cell responses in vitro. The possible mechanism might be associated with β-glucan exposed on the surface of swollen spores that binds with Dectin-1. The responses between BMDCs and R. arrihizus are Syk-Card9-dependent.

Two patients were admitted to the hospital for 2-month history of pruritic eruptions on the forehead and 2-week history of pruritie eruptions on the leg, respectively. Both patients had a history of pet contact. Topical application of glucocorticoids did not work well. Dermatological examination revealed a patch measuring 5 cm ×6 cm on the forehead of one patient and a patch measuring 2 cm × 3 cm on the leg of the other patient. Both patches were surrounded by red papules and scaling. Microscopic examination of skin scales revealed hyphae and chain-like spores, and culture of skin scales grew Microsporum gyeum. Both the isolates of Microsporum gyeum were sensitive to ketoconazole, miconazole, bifonazole, terbinafine, and voriconazole. Both patients were healed after treatment with oral terbinafine and topical ciclopirox olamine.

Objectives To evaluate the application of M38-P method recommend by NCCLS to dematiaceous fungi, and detect the susceptibility of itraconazole, fluconazole, miconazole, econazole, flucytosine, clotrimazole, nystatin, amphotericin B and terbinafine against dematiaceous fungi. Methods Using M38-P method forty-five strains of dematiaceous fungi were studied, which included 2 strains of Bipolaris spp., 1 strain of Drechslera spp., 1 strain of Curvularia spp.,14 strains of C. carrionii, 8 strains of F. pedrosoi, 3 strains of F. compacta and 16 strains of P. verrucosa. The media containing the fungi in the concentrations of (0.4 ~ 5) ? 106 CFU/mL were incubated at 35℃ for 5 ~ 7 days. Results The tested dematiaceous fungi were highly susceptible to itraconazole and terbinafine. Some of them were resistant to itraconzole, fluconazole, flucytosine and amphotericin B. Conclusions The data suggest that M38-P standards could be applied as the susceptibility testing of dematiaceous fungi, and it is necessary to monitor the resistant strains in antifungal treatment.
