Ohiective To establish an in vitro test system for testing CMV specific immune response. Methods Human embryonic lung fibroblasts(HELF)infected with CMV-AD169 and a mutant strain RV-TB40E-4, respectively, were stained with anti-HLA-A * 0201-PE and then measured for the expression of HLA-A * 0201. The infected HELF were incubated with individual pp65 peptide NLVPMVATV and cultured together with PBMC,then intracellular IFN-γ was tested by flow cytometry(FCM). Results The expression of HLA-A * 0201 was markedly suppressed on AD169-infected fibroblasts, while it was not affected on RV-TB40E-4-infected cells. PBMC showing no response to AD169-infected cells responded significantly to RV-TB40E-4-infected cells. The HELF infected with AD169 and loaded with external peptides induced a significantly stronger response which was the sum of the induced response ratios of the infected HELF and the uninfected HELF loaded with peptides. Conclusion CMV-AD169 downregulates the expression of MHC Ⅰ, while it does not decrease the capacity of cells to present external peptides. RV-TB40E-4,a CMV mutant in which the gene of US2-6/US11 has been deleted, does not affect MHC Ⅰ expression, and therefore represents a more suitable tool to explore CMV-specific immune response.

Endostatin is an antitumor molecular targeting angiogenesis of tumor and plays an inhibitory role in tumorigenesis through inhibiting pathological angiogenesis, proliferation and metastasis of tumor. As increasing drugs for targeting therapy aim in clinic, endostatin has become one of hot spots of research on combined treatment of cancer in recent years.

Although the development of diagnosis and treatment about degenerative scoliosis has improved significantly,it still remains controversial about how to select appropriate surgical methods.The goal of this review is to raise awareness and stimulate attention on the correlation between clinical manifestation and spinal deformity,which is one of the key factors to affect the surgical outcomes on the opinion of more and more researchers in the past 20 years.When an adult spinal deformity is not the source of symptoms and the clinical symptom is outside of curve,symptomatic relief may be provided through limited decompression.If thoroughly decompression,it will be enough to combine with short segment fixation.However,while an adult deformity is the source of symptoms and the clinical symptoms is within the curve,the options are typically limited decompression on the basis of good stability,otherwise,it will be the only consideration of decompression combined with long segment fixation.

Objective To investigate the role of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation in repairing injured intestinal mucosa of acute pancreatitis.Methods MSCs were harvested and cultured from femurs of male SD rats.Twenty female SD rats were divided into three groups,and serve acute pancratitis (SAP) model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine (2 g/kg) twice.Twelve hours after SAP model established,MSC transplantation group (n=8) were injected MSCs (5 × 106 cell/rat) through tail vein for three days,and SAP group (n=6) were injected the same volume of saline through tail vein as control.Control group (n=6) were only injected the same volume of saline without any treatment.All the rats were sacrificed at 72 hours after model established.The small intestinal tissues were taken for HE staining and pathological score,the TNF-α mRNA and IL-1β mRNA expression level in small intestine and pancreas were tested by RT-PCR.Y chromo-some (Sry) gene in pancreatic and intestinal tissue was examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results The relative expression quantity of TNF-a mRNA and IL-1β mRNA in pancreas was significant higher in SAP group and MSC transplantation group than in control group (7.22 ± 1.99,3.46± 1.75 vs 1.32 ± 1.04 ; 2.71 ± 0.56,1.92 ± 0.28 vs 0.61 ± 0.45 ),the difference was statistically significant (F=18.375,F=22.701; P＜0.05).Compared with SAP group,the expression quantity of TNF-α mRNA and IL-1β mRNA in pancreas was significantly decreased in MSC transplantation group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The relative expression quantity of TNF-α mRNA and IL-1β mRNA in small intestine was significantly higher in SAP group and MSC transplantation group than in control group (3.93 ± 1.08,2.13 ± 0.53 vs 0.68 ± 0.42 ; 2.44 ± 1.54,1.02±0.44 vs 0.60±0.14),the difference was statistically significant (F=21.772,F=6.132; P＜0.05).The expression of TNF-αmRNA and IL-1β mRNA in MSC transplantation group was lower than that in SAP group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Compared with SAP group,pathological score indicated that small intestine injure was slighter in MSC transplantation group (3.83±0.28 vs 2.83±0.56),the difference was statistically significant (F=12.013,P＜0.05).Sry gene could be detected in the pancreatic and intestinal tissue of MSC transplantation group.Conclusion Allogeneic MSC transplantation group can inhibit Pro-inflammatory cytokines expression in acute pancreatitis,relieve the intestinal mucosa injury and may involve in the intestinal tissue repair.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, the researchers have studied the adjacent segment degeneration after cervical fusion. Several studies concerned the adjacent segment degeneration after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the correlative factors of adjacent segment degeneration after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.
METHODS:122 patients were included in the study from 126 patients who underwent anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion that operated by the same treatment team and involved a single vertebral body and the two plates between February 2009 and February 2012. The final fol ow-up period was 3 years. According to the degeneration progress of adjacent segment degeneration, these patients were divided into non-progression group and progression group. The gender, age, preoperative adjacent segment degeneration, cervical range of motion, upper and lower vertebral range of motion, surgical segment, titanium mesh subsidence, plate-to-disc distance, and cervical curvature index were compared between two groups. Logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the correlative factors of adjacent segment degeneration.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) There were significant differences in preoperative adjacent segment degeneration, postoperative cervical range of motion, postoperative upper and lower vertebral range of motion, and postoperative cervical curvature index (P<0.05), which were included in logistic regression analysis. (2) Logistic regression analysis regression model:adjacent segment degeneration=0.317× postoperative cervical range of motion+3.374×preoperative adjacent segment degeneration+1.862 × postoperative lower vertebral range of motion-0.795×postoperative cervical curvature index-16.481. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that preoperative range of motion, postoperative cervical range of motion, postoperative lower vertebral range of motion and postoperative cervical curvature index were correlative factors of range of motion after adjacent segment degeneration (P<0.05). (3) These results indicated that preoperative adjacent segment degeneration, postoperative cervical range of motion, postoperative lower vertebral range of motion and postoperative cervical curvature index were correlative factors of adjacent segment degeneration. We should actively carry out effective measures to prevent the progress of the adjacent segment degeneration before, during and after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.

Objective To explore effect of increasing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leptin level by administration from the foramen magnum to the cerebellum medulla oblongata pool in osteoporosis in rabbit model established by ovariectomy (OVX) and methylprednisolones.Methods According to certain inclusion and exclusion criteria,30 adult rabbits which were healthy 5-month-old female New Zealand white rabbits with the same batch and weight were divided into 5 groups (n=6) with random number table,including control group,normal saline group,Low dose group,middle dose group and high dose group.The animal model of osteoporosis (OP) was established 8 weeks after ovariectomy (bilateral ovarian resection) and intramuscular injection of methylprednisolone daily for 8 consecutive weeks in all groups.The control group were only simulated puncture and didn't inject any drugs or normal saline,the normal saline group were intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection with NS and Low,Middle and High dose group injected with low,middle and high dose of leptin respectively at 0,3,7 days after OVX.Before (0 week) and 4,8 weeks after the operation,the measure of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was done on all the rabbits femur and bone mineral density (BMD) was delivered.Before (0 week) and 4,8 weeks after the first administration,leptin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum growth hormone (GH),insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and osteocalcin (OT/BGP) were tested with Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and serum calcium,phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) with automatic biochemical analyzer (ACA).The rabbits were sacrificed and the thalamus and femoral neck were harvested to test the expression of leptin receptor (LEPR) in thalamus and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ) at 8 weeks after the first administration.Results Compared with the control group and NS group,the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leptin concentration of leptin administration groups kept in a higher level significantly at 4 and 8 weeks after leptin administration,it was positively correlated with the concentration of administration.After administration 4 and 8 weeks,the bone mineral density (BMD) of leptin administration groups were not significantly lower than that of non-administration groups,and the high dose group was unchanged.The serum osteocalcin/bone glad protein (OT/BGP) concentration of leptin administration groups decreased more significantly compared with the non-administration groups at 4 weeks after leptin administration;and it rebounded more significantly than the non-administration groups and low dose group rebounded more significantly than other non-administration groups at 8 weeks.The concentration of serum growth hormone (GH) of 5 groups showed a downward trend at 4 and 8 weeks,the serum GH concentration of leptin administration groups decreased more significantly than the non-administration groups.The concentration of serum insulin-like growth IGF-1 of 5 groups were decreased significantly at 4 weeks,and the serum IGF-1 concentration of control and low dose groups were significantly higher than other 3 groups at 8weeks.Compared with the non-administration groups,the concentration of serum Calcium of leptin administration groups were increased more obvious,and it was positively correlated with the concentration of administration.Serum phosphorus of 5 groups were decreased at 4 weeks and elevated at 8 weeks;there was no difference among the groups.Serum ALP showed a continuous downward trend,and the middle dose group decreased significantly compared with other groups at 4 and 8 weeks.RTPCR results showed that the BMP-2 and Col Ⅰ mRNA expression increased and positively correlated with leptin administration concentration at 8weeks.Conclusion The increase of cerebrospinal fluid leptin level can promote the bone metabolism,reduce bone loss and precaution the occurrence of osteoporosis in rabbit model caused by OVX and methylprednisolone,and it was positively correlated with the concentration of administration.That provides a new method for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in rabbit model.

A 7?year?old girl presented with a plaque on the left side of the face for 4 years. Skin examination revealed a well?marginated circular firm plaque measuring 6 cm × 5 cm in size on the left side of the face with purulent crusts on the surface, which was nontender to palpation. Histopathologic study showed ulceration and necrosis in some areas in the epidermis, diffuse dermal infiltration of lymphocytes, histiocytes and epithelioid cells with the presence of many neutrophilic granulocytes in some regions. Both periodic acid?Schiff(PAS)staining and acid?fast staining were negative. After 25 days of tissue culture, scotochromogenic Mycobacterium colonies grew, and colony smears showed positive acid?fast staining. The sequences of 16S rRNA and hsp65 genes of the fungal isolate showed 100%and 99%homology with those of Mycobacterium szulgai, respectively. After the treatment with rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol, the patient′s condition was improved.

Objective To investigate the enhanced osteogenesis during bone fracture healing after intracerebroven-tricular (ICV) leptin injection, using rabbit model with created segmental bone defect in right tibial. Method Segmental critical-sized defects were created at the right tibial bone of skeletally mature New Zealand white rabbits. In experiment group (leptin group), recombinant rabbit leptin was injected into cerebellomedullary cistern through foramen magnum. While in control group, normal saline was injected in the same way. Bone Mineral Density (BMD) was evaluated by qCT at 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and the 21st days. At the 21st days, all rabbits were euthanized to collect the right tibia for histomorphology, to ex-amine the BMP-2 expression in the bone callus by Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Result In the leptin group, body weight declined more obviously than control group then it start to arise at the 14th day;qCT showed significant higher BMD in leptin group than in control group at the 7th day;FISH showed a higher BMP-2 expression in leptin group than in control group. Conclusion Cerebellomedullary leptin injection through foramen magnum could accelerate limb fracture healing in rabbit model with right tibial bone defection.
