The self-learning and self-check system of medical immunology has been established by online Active Server Pages(ASP) technique.The students’learning results can be examined and evaluated automatically by the system.The students can freely choose the parameters of grouping up test-papers,according to their different situation,which is more rational and the test result is closer to students’true achievement.After the test is finished,the system can check the answers automatically and show the test-score.Through the humanized test design and the feedback encouraging teaching mode,the system affords fine conditions for independent learning of medical students and solves the problems of the combination between teachers’teaching and learners’ practicing.

BACKGROUND: The relation of epilepsy to immunity has been investigated at cellular and molecular levels in recent years, and the results show many immunological changes in epileptic patients such as immunocytes,immune molecules and immune functions.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the immunologic pathogenesis of epilepsy and expression of MHC- Ⅰ, MHC- Ⅱ and C3b receptor of microglia. DESIGN: Randomized and controlled trial. SETTING: Medical College of Dalian University; University of Sanchong,Japan.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Immunology Laboratory of Jilin Beihua University from 2001 to 2002. Forty adult Wistar rats were randomized into model group and control group with 20 in each group.METHODS: 12 mg/kg kainic acid was administered subcutaneously into rats in model group, while no intervention was given to rats in control group. Seizure was observed within 6 hours following kainic acid administration. Rats were killed 3 days after medication. Neuronal degeneration was observed with crystal violet staining and the expression of MHC molecules and C3b receptor in the hippocampus of epileptogenic rats was observed immunnhistochemically.administration, spasm occurred within 3 hours after kainic acid administration and continued from the first stage to the fifth stage. More severe served in cone-like cell layer of hippocampus of rats in model group, but molecule, MHC- Ⅱ molecule and C3b receptor was (201.6±6.43), (493.8±7.92) and (362.5±3.18) cells per visual field respectively in the hippocampus of epileptogenic rats inmodel group, but no obvious expression was observed in control group. The differences were significant between the two groups (P ＜ 0.01).pocampal sclerosis, immunological inflammation is observed combined with the complement system, which indicates immunologic inflammatory mechanism of epilepsy.

BACKGROUND: The recent researches show that there are various kinds of autoantibodies in epilepsy patients such as anti-nuclear antibodies, anticardiolipin antibodies,anti-?2 glucoprotein antibodies and anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies,which indicate that some types of epilepsy are mediated by autoimmune mechanism.OBJECTIVE: To detect the level of anti-glutamic acid receptor (GluR1)antibody in epilepsy children.DESIGN: A controlled trial.SETTING: Medical College of Dalian University, General Hospital of Jilin Chemistry Group and Sanchong University, Japan.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 56 cases of epilepsy children were from Maternal and Child Health in Qingdao City including 30 males and 26 females and aged from 3 months to 13 years.While 48 health examinees and 12 patients with brain tumor from General Hospital of Jilin Chemistry Group were taken as controls, including 38 males and 12 females and aged from 6months to 17 years.Their guardians were all informed of the detection index and consented to join the study.METHODS: Polystyrene plates were coated with GluR1 polypeptide antigen,and optimal conditions of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for GluRI antibody was ascertained with chessboard titration.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The GluR1 antibody level was detected with ELISA.RESULTS:The concentration of coating GluR1 polypeptide antigen was20 mg/L; The dilution of serum and horseradish peroxidase sheep anti-hu-man (HRP-SaH) IgG were 1:50 and 1:1 500 respectively. Intra-assay andinter-assay coefficientof variability were 4.48％-8.80％ and 11.18％-16.60％ respectively; The specific absorption test demonstrated that the ab-sorbance value of positive serum decreased 2.4 times after absorption ofGluR1 polypeptide compared with that before absorption.There was obvi-ous higher positive rate of GluR1 antibody in serum of epilepsy childrenthan control group (40％, 5％, P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:①ELISA is specific and stable for GluR1 antibody in serum. ②There is the possible autoimmune response of GluR1 antibody in serum of epilepsy children.

Objective:To apply immuno-PCR for detection of anti-Sm antibodies.Methods: Immuno-PCR was established for anti-Sm antibodies in SLE sera using SaHIgG-DNA probe. The experimental conditions were optomized and methological identifieation indicated obvious in crease(×107 ) in sensitivity compared with that of ELISA.

This study was aimed to explore the antitumor effect of volatile oil of X ihuang pill and its immune mecha-nism in order to screen the antitumor active site of Xihuang pill. Among 70 female Wistar rats, 10 rats were random-ly selected as the blank control group; and the other 60 rats was used in the establishment of walker 256 breast can-cer cell tumor-bearing rat models. The model rats were randomly divided into the negative control group (model group), high-dose volatile oil group, middle-dose volatile oil group, low-dose volatile oil group, high-dose Xihuang pill group, and lentinan group (positive control group), with 10 rats in each group. The intragastric administration was given twice a day for 14 days. Blood was taken from the abdominal aorta. Tumor tissues was removed and weighed to calculate the tumor inhibitory rate. ELISA method was used to detect the level of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ and TGF-β in peripheral blood. The flow cytometry was used to detect the content of CD3+ T cell, CD4+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, and B7-1 cell (CD80). The results showed that the tumor inhibitory rates of volatile oil of high-dose group and middle-dose group were 28.4% and 24.1%, respectively. Compared with the model group, the average level of IL-2 and IFN-γ of volatile oil of high-dose group and middle-dose group and CD3+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, B7-1 cell con-tent were obviously increased (P< 0.05). It was concluded that volatile oil of Xihuang pill had certain antitumor ef-fect, which was one of the antitumor active sites of Xihuang pill. The volatile oil of Xihuang pill upregulates the lev-els of IL-2 and IFN-γ, as well as the contents of CD3+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, B7-1 cell in order to increase the im-mune clearance function of tumor-bearing rats.
