Objective To compare the adjuvanticity of type-A,B and C CpG-ODN in mice.Methods Three types of CpG-ODN were identified through in vitro stimulation of murine splenocytes with various CpG-ODN.BALB/c mice were immunized with HBsAg,together with different types of CpG-ODN,and antigen-specific IgG.IgG1 and IgG2a titers were measured 4 weeks later by indirect ELISA.Resuits Compared with the control group.all 3 types of CpG-ODN enhanced humoral immune response to HBsAg.However,type-B and C CpG-ODN induced much higher levels of antigen-specific IgG and IgG2a than type A CpG-ODN.Type-C CpG-ODN induced a similar TH 1-biased immune response as type-B CpG-ODN,revealed by decreased IsG1 to IgG2a ratio.In contrast,although type-A CpG-ODN increased IgG titers,it did not switch the balance between TH1 and TH2 immune responses.Conclusion All 3 types of CpG-ODN can enhance the humoral immune response to vaccines,but their aaiuvanticity could be mediated through different mechanisms.

Objective To study the clinical and pathological characteristics of breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and with microinvasion (DCIS-MI). Methods From June 1999 to June 2003, a total of 41 patients with DCIS and DCIS-MI patients were retrospectively studied. Results Pathology varies between DCIS type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ and DCIS-MI patients. Mammographic calcification was the only presenting symptom in 9.76% of patients with DCIS accounting for 50% of these cases. The accordance rate of mammography with final diagnosis was 80%, and 33.3% of mammography in DCIS-MI type 2 showed mass or chaos of gland construction. The initial symptom in 57% of patients was nipple discharge. For fiberoptic ductoscopy, the accordance rate was 95.65%. There were two local recurrent cases in DCIS-MI type 2. Conclusion Breast ductal carcinoma in situ and with microinvasion had their own characteristics, including different prognosis.

Objective To probe into the value of micro-perfusion examination at the early stage after right lobe living donor liver transplantation by contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS). Methods Twenty-six recipients of right lobe living donor liver transplantation received CEUS examination at 1,7,15 and 30 days respectively after operation using contrast medium SonoVue. Perfusion patterns were observed and analyzed considering operation method. Results Of 26 recipients, 15 cases showed normal perfusion patterns with normal hemodynamics; 11 cases showed abnormal perfusion patterns with abnormal hemodynamics:8 had conduit venous obstruction,4 high portal vein blood flow. The abnormal patterns was in the early arterial phase of enhancement process at the first day examination, showing hyper- and hypo- enhancement area compared with normal liver parenchyma. And the difference gradually disappeared in the subsequent examination. Conclusions Abnormal micro-perfusion patterns are highly related to abnormal inflow and outflow in the early post operation stage. The main reasons are conduit venous obstruction and excessive perfusion of portal vein. CEUS can be used as an effective method in evaluating the graft micro-perfusion.
