Natural killer ( NK) cells are important innate effector cells and play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis through potent cytotoxic activity and cytokine production. Recent findings show that NK cells can also shape adaptive immune responses by in-fluencing a variety of immune cells. In addition to direct interactions with other immune cells,NK cells can indirectly stimulate or inhibit adaptive immune response via influencing infected cells and pathogen load. Abundant studies have highlighted the positive regulatory functions of NK cells, while their negative regulatory functions have increasingly attracted attention in recent years. Here, we review recent findings on negative regulation of adaptive immune response by NK cells, discussing the involved effector cells and function mechanism,and demonstrate how this negative regulation influences the overall outcome of adaptive immunity in infection and tumor disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of partial prostatic capsula and surrounding striated sphincter sparing surgery on the function of intestinal orthotopic neobladder. Methods Total cystectomy and orthotopic intestinal neobladder was performed in 23 male patients with invasive bladder cancer. The patients were divided into classical cystectomy group (n=10) and modified cystectomy group (n=13).In the classical group the prostate was removed completely and the residual urethra was anastomosed with the neobladder using interrupted suture.In the modified group transurethral resection of the prostate preceded the cystectomy,and the prostatic capsula below the verumontanum with its surrounding striated urethral sphincter was retained.The neobladder was anastomosed with the residual capsula using continuous suture.The function of the neobladder in the 2 groups was evaluated and compared. Results The pathological classification of the 23 patients was as follows:T 2aN 0M 0,13 cases;T 2bN 0M 0,6;T 1N 0M 0,1;T 3aN 0M 0,1;T 3bN 1M 0,1;T 4aN 0M 0,1.The patients were followed up for 3 to 40 months(mean,15.7 months).In modified group,11 patients survived disease-free and 2 survived with metastasis.All the 13 patients voided well with residual volume of 0 to 70 ml.Complete urinary continence was achieved in 12 patients and the remaining one had nocturnal incontinence.In classical group,10 patients survived disease-free;of them 7 voided well with residual volume of 10 to 100 ml and the other 3 needed intermittent catheterization because of their residual urine being up to 100 to 250 ml.Complete continence was achieved in 7 patients and the other 3 were incontinent(1 with incontinence day and night,2 with nocturnal incontinence). Conclusions Partial prostatic capsula and its surrounding striated sphincter sparing surgery can improve the continence and voiding of the orthotopic neobladder.$$$$

Objective To explore whether the 25 kD protein component was a specific decrease in skeletal muscles of the patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). Methods The muscular proteins were extracted from 21 cases of normal objects,18 cases of patients with myasthenia gravis and 20 cases of patients with other neuro-muscular disorders with Guba-Straub solution. The components of protein were analysed by SDS-PAGE in double blind. Components of glycoprotein were detected by using the ConA/HRP.Results SDS-PAGE patterns showed that the concentration of protein bands with mass of about 25 kD in the MG muscles was much lower than that of muscles in both normal and other neuro-musclular disorders. The value of density for 25 kD protein bands was 1.6?0.7 in the MG muscles,but was 3.4?1.5 and 3.7?1.5 in the muscles of normal and other neuro-musclular disorders,respectively. In addition,25 kD protein was found as a glycoprotein,but it was different from AChR in the molecular weight.Conclusion (1) It was suggested that the pathogeny or developing of MG could be associated with 25 kD protein of the skeletal muscle because of its specific decrease. (2) 25 kD protein was a glycoprotein which was unassociated with the AChR molecule.

Objective To investigate the expression level of monocytes ATP-binding cassette transporter A1(ABCA1) stimulated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) for exploring the mechanism of ABCA1 in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). Methods Human monocytes of patients in CHD group (n=42) and normal control group (n=40) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation with separating medium (1.077). ABCA1 was labeled by immune reaction PE fluorescence, then the expression of ABCA1 before and after being incubated with the ox-LDL (30mg/L) for 24 hours was investigated by flow cytometer, and the changes in ABCA1 expression were observed. The differences between the two groups and the correlation between ABCA1 expression and blood lipids were analyzed. Results The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) levels in CHD group (1.15?1.40 and 1.19?0.17, respectively) were significantly lower than that in control group (1.36?0.40 and 1.34?0.22, respectively, P0.05). Conclusions ABCA1 expression in the patients with CHD may be inhibited by high concentration of ox-LDL. The lowered expression of ABCA1 and the abnormal lipids spectrum may decrease the reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), and contribute to the development of AS and CHD.

Objective To access the diagnostic value of volume helical shuttle (VHS)technology of spectrum CT in detection of the pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM).Methods Thirteen patients with PAVM confirmed by surgery and clinical data underwent CT pulmonary artery angiography with VHS technology,which were regarded as group A.The consecutive images at four different phases were gotten Meanwhile,other thirty patients underwent conventional CT pulmonary artery angiography using bolus tracking scan,regarded as Group B.The enhancement degrees of the pulmonary trunk were measured,and the image quality was also subjectively assessed by two radiologists separately,which were compared between two groups.Results In group A,the proportion of optimal phase in each of the four phases was 15.38% (2/13),46.15% (6/13),30.77% (4/13)and 7.7% (1/13),respectively.The mean CT value in pulmonary trunk was (329.21±41.63)HU in group A and (281.74±49.83)HU in group B,exhibiting no difference (P =0.989). The percentage of enhancement degree of pulmonary trunk more than 300 HU in group A was more than that in group B (P=0.000).However, the image quality of the main pulmonary artery,lobar pulmonary artery or segmental pulmonary artery was not significantly different between two groups (P >0.05).There were no statistically differences in mean DLP between group A of (715.54±195.37)mGy/cm and group B of (558.36±186.81)mGy/cm (t=3.737,P=0.068).Conclusion Spectrum CT VHS with higher image quality and enhancement degree is superior to conventional CT scan,which can be used to reduce the influence of individual circulation difference on image quality.
