1.Research progress on immunogenicity of PEGylated recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(8):1002-1007
Recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factor(rhG-CSF)can effectively prevent and treat febrile neutropenia caused by chemotherapy,which mainly metabolizes through the kidneys and has a short half-life,requiring repeated injections to maintain its effect. PEG-rhG-CSF formed by combining polyethylene glycol(PEG)with rhG-CSF can prolong the half-life of drugs. However,there have been immunogenicity mediated adverse reactions in clinical use of PEGrhG-CSF,and the safety is still the focus of attention. This paper discusses the adverse reactions induced by PEG-rhG-CSF immunogenicity,as well as the influencing factors,detection methods and production mechanism of immunogenicity with the aim of providing reference for the safe clinical application of PEG-rhG-CSF.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the curative effects and feasibility of the self regulating simple localizer through anterior approach for the treatment of odontoid fracture in adults.
METHODSFrom June 2010 and December 2012, 6 patients with odontoid fracture underwent an anterior operation using a single hollow screw located by the self regulating simple localizer. There were 4 males and 2 females, aged from 28 to 55 years old with an average of 39.1 years. The injuries were caused by traffic accidents in 4 cases and falling injury from high in 2 cases. According to the classification of Anderson, 4 cases were type II and 2 cases were simple type III. All the patients underwent operations in 5 to7 days after injury with the mean of 5.9 days. None of the patients had a spinal cord injury. The safety and feasibility of the self made localizer were observed in follow up for fracture healing and clinical effects.
RESULTSAll the operations were successful with an average time of 50 min (ranged from 45 to 55 min) and the mean bleeding volume was 25 ml(ranged from 20 to 30 ml). No injuries of esophagus, trachea or nerve were found. All the patients were followed up from 8 to 16 months and all fractures were obtained bone healing. The flexion extension radiograph showed a well stability of atlantoaxial joint in last followed up.
CONCLUSIONSThe self regulating simple localizer is a minimally invasive, short time and safe method in treating odontoid fractures through anterior operation with hollow screw. It may be a reliable choice while without a professional localizer.

OBJECTIVETo study the types of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) involved in dentin bonding interface degradation.
METHODSDentin slices were prepared and treated with two adhesive systems (Single Bond 2 or Clearfil S3 Bond). The dentin surface was bonded with composite resin. All specimens were immersed in sterile artificial saliva for 0 or 6 months, and their micro-shear bond strength (muSBS) were measured. The fracture modes were observed through field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). Dentin slices with 4 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm dimensions were prepared. The slices were divided into three groups according to the treatment modes (negative control, Single Bond 2, and Clearfil S3 Bond). All specimens were stored in sterile artificial saliva for 0 or 6 months. The concentrations of MMP-1, -2, -3, -8, and -9 of each group were detected through fluorescent microsphere immunoassay.
RESULTSThe muSBS of both adhesive systems significantly decreased after storage aging. Significant differences in failure modes within the four groups tested in this study were observed. Compared with the negative control, the concentrations of MMP-1 and MMP-3 in different adhesive groups showed no significant difference after storage aging. However, the concentrations of MMP-2, -8, and -9 in Single Bond 2 group and the concentrations of MMP-8 and -9 in Clearfil S3 Bond group significantly decreased after 6 months of storage aging.
CONCLUSIONSignificant degradation occur in the dentin bonding interface of both adhesive groups under 6 months aging challenge. The concentrations ofdentinal MMP-2, -8, and -9 significantly decrease after treatment with adhesives and aging, indicating that these MMPs have an important function in dentin bonding interface degradation.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of using crude polysaccharides extracted from cultivated Artemisia rupestris L. ( CARCP) in Xinjiang as an immunologic adjuvant for ovalbumin ( OVA) . Methods The mice were subcutaneously immunized twice with OVA vaccine formulated with CARCP. ELISA assay was performed to measure the levels of IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a antibodies. Flow cytometry analy-sis was performed to detect the percentages of different T lymphocyte subsets ( CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+T cells, CD4+CD44+ and CD8+CD44+T cells) in splenocytes as well as the expression of intracellular cyto-kines ( CD4+IFN-γ, CD8+IFN-γ) and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells. Results The levels of IgG, IgG1 and IgG2a antibodies in serum, the percentages of CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD4+CD44+ and CD8+CD44+T cells as well as the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocytes increased significantly in mice immunized with OVA in combination with CARCP (P<0. 05). Moreover, CARCP enhanced the expression of CD4+IFN-γand CD8+IFN-γ( P<0. 05 ) , but inhibited the expression of CD 4+CD 2 5+Foxp 3+Treg cells ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion As an adjuvant for OVA, CARCP enhanced the humoral and cellular immune responses, especially the T cell immune responses.
