Objective To explore the effects of lactoferrin on T cells ( the levels of CD4 + T and CD8 +T lymphocytes) and the development of intestinal mucous membrane (villus heights, crypt depths, villus circumferences, and villus areas) in neonatal SD rats. Methods Totally 96 neonatal (one week old) SD rats were equally and randomly divided into twelve groups, in which animals were fed with lactoferrin at a dose of 1.0 g/( kg · d) (dose Ⅰ group), 3.0 g/(kg · d) (dose Ⅱ group), or 5.0 g/(kg · d) (dose Ⅲ group) for 2, 3, or4 weeks,with corresponding blank control groups. Rats in the dosage groups were killed at the set time points and the levels of venous blood CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes were detected using immunofluorescence method. Jejunum ( 1 cm)and ileum (1 cm) specimens were obtained for pathological sectioning, and the villus height, crypt depth, villus circumferences, and villus areas were measured through image analysis system. Results The CD4 + T lymphocyte levels at two weeks were significantly different among dose I group, dose Ⅱ group, and control groups ( all P <0. 05).The CD8 + T lymphocyte levels at two weeks were significantly different among dose Ⅱ group, dose Ⅲ group,and control groups ( all P < 0. 05 ). The villus heights, crypt depths, villus circumferences, and villus areas of jejunum at two weeks between feeding groups and control groups were not significantly different ( all P > 0. 05 ), while the condition in ileum was on the contrary. The CD4 + T lymphocyte levels at three weeks were significantly different between feeding groups and control groups ( P < 0. 05 ). The CD8 + T lymphocyte levels at three weeks between dose Ⅲ group and control groups were significantly different ( P < 0. 05 ). The villus heights, crypt depths, villus circumferences, and villus areas of jejunum and ileum at three weeks were significantly different between feeding groups and control groups ( all P < 0. 05 ). The CD4 + T lymphocyte levels at four weeks between feeding groups and control groups were significantly different (P <0. 05). The CD8 + T lymphocyte levels at four weeks were significantly different among dose Ⅱ group, dose Ⅲ group, and control groups ( all P < 0. 05 ). Except villus areas of ileum, the villus heights, crypt depths, villus circumferences of jejunum and ileum, and villus areas of jejunum at four weeks were significantly different between feeding groups and control groups ( all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Lactoferrin can promote the levels of CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocytes in venous blood and facilitate the development of the mucous membranes of jejunum and ileum. However, such effects are affected by the dose and timing of lactoferrin feeding.

Objective To investigate the stability of immunophenotyping in the course of relapse or at treatment failure of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL) and that of immunophenotyping of positive minimal residual disease(MRD).Methods From Aug.2000 to Dec.2007,33 children with ALL who relapsed or treated failure were enrolled. These children were detected MRD by flow cytometry. The immunophenotyping of children who relapsed or treated failure were compared with that of initial therapy;the immunophenotyping of MRD relapsed was compared with that of initial therapy.Results 1.In 23 out of 27 cases (85.18%) with B-ALL,changed at least 1 antigen between diagnosis and relapse.Six children with CD45 down-modulation and 2 children with CD45 up-modulation.Two children with CD19 down-modulation and 1 child with CD19 up-modulation.Six children with CD34 down-modulation and 4 children with CD34 up-modulation. Five children with CD10 down-modulation and 7 children with CD10 up-modulation.2.Six children with T-ALL had the same expression in CD45 between relapse and treatment failure. 3.These were 15 children had the least 1 case MRD,25 cases MRD were detected,these was 1 case up-modulation in CD45,1 case down-modulation in CD19,2 cases up-modulation and 8 cases down-modulation in CD34,3 cases up-modulation and 6 cases down-modulation in CD10.Conclusions Immunophenotyping of children with ALL may change at relapse and treatment failure. The frequency of change in B-ALL is higher than that of in T-ALL,but the change can not impact the detection of MRD.

Objective To explore the immunophenotype of children with acute myeloid leukemia(AML) and its clinical significance.Methods Statistics was used to analyze the relationship between the immunophenotype of AML and their French-American-Britain(FAB) classification,complete remission (CR) in one month and 3-years event-free survival(EFS).Results CR rate was 71.6% and 3-years EFS rate was 50.8%. HLA-DR and CD34 absent mainly in M3, associated with higher CR and EFS rate. So did CD33 negative cases, especially in M2. CD13 positive was significantly predictive factor for achieving CR.Co-expression of lymphoid antigens and NK cell antigens(CD56) with M2 which correlated with lower CR and EFS rate.Conclusions The negative of HLA-DR, CD34, CD33,as well as CD13 positive, have relationship with good prognosis. Lymphoid antigens and CD56 are poor prognostic factors.
