Objective To explore the antigen presentation of CT26.WT via intra-peritoneal injection. Methods The intra-peritoneal injection model was made via injecting cell suspensions in mice. The spleen was isolated from BALB/c mice toco-culture with CT26.WT to detect tumor-killed ability. Phenotype identification methods and CCK8 massy were used to measure the ability of antigen presentation and stimulate T lymphocyte proliferation. IHC was used to detect the expression of B7H4 in normal and tumor tissues. Results Along with the extension of intra-peritoneal injection, the surviving number of cells was increased, contrary to the apoptosis. DC cells failed in maturation and impaired in stimulating T lymphocyte proliferation. B7H4 was higher in tumor tissues. Conclusions With the extension of intra-peritoneal injection, the mature DC cells were scared in number, resulting in the impairement of antigen-presentation. Moreover, the higher B7H4 expression in tumor tissues led to the lack of second signals which may stimulate T cells. Consequently, the ability of T cells in killing tumor cells was decreased so that they escape immunosurveillance.

Objective To evaluate the implementation effect of Malaria Elimination Project supported by the Global Fund in Shaanxi Province so as to provide the evidence for the scientific implementation of Malaria Elimination Action Plan and the exami-nation and evaluation work. Methods The data of malaria prevention and control work were collected and analyzed statistically in 27 counties from 2010 to 2012 in order to evaluate the measures and effects of malaria control. Results There were 64 reported cases in the project areas from 2010 to 2012,and the average annual incidence rate was 0.15/10 million with a declining trend. The infected area sources of patients were mainly imported overseas accounting for 79.69%of the total cases. The blood completion rate of febrile patients was 94.14%,and the scope of the blood smears testing work had expanded to 88 counties(including 61 third-class counties). The training coverage rate of malaria prevention knowledge and skills had achieved to 100%. The awareness rates of malaria prevention and control were 91.68%and 89.44%in the students and local residentsrespectively. The case reporting with-in 24 h after diagnosed,epidemiological case study and outbreak disposal,laboratory testing and confirming and the other case management capabilities had also improved significantly. Conclusions The implementation of the Global Fund Malaria Project in Shaanxi Province has accelerated the process of Malaria Elimination work and improved significantly the malaria control ability in the project areas.

Objective To analyze the characteristics and the related risk factors of the contractility of pelvic floor muscles in old women with pelvic floor dysfunction(PFD).Methods A cohort of 125 elderly patients with symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction,including 60 of postpartum urinary incontinence(SUI)and 65 of pelvic organ prolapse(POP),were recruited.60 women volunteers with normal pelvic floor function were recruited as a control group.A questionnaire survey was conducted to record the general situation of the subjects.The pelvic floor muscle strength was determined by the methods of electromyography and pressure feedback recording.Results The body mass index,the average number of delivery,newborn baby's body weight were significantly higher in the SUI and POP group than in control group,with statistically significant difference(F=5.29,6.27,5.26,P=0.007,0.003,0.008),but without statistically significant difference between SUI and POP groups (P =0.674,0.554,0.578).The rapid contractility value was significant lower in SUI group than in POP and control groups(all P＜0.01),and the sustained contractility value was significant lower in POP group than in SUI and control groups(all P＜0.01).Conclusions The postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction may be correlated with BMI,vaginal delivery rate,the average number of delivery,newborn baby's body weight and a history of increased abdominal pressure.The postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction may be associated with the declined contractility of pelvic floor muscle,among which the POP may be associated with class Ⅰ muscle and the SUI with class Ⅱ muscle.

BACKGROUND:Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that primarily affects the cartilage. With the changes of the extracelular matrix, chondrocytes appear to have apoptosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor plays an important role in promoting endothelial cel division and proliferation and inducing angiogenesis. Hypoxia-inducible factor is a celular transcription factor and produces different reactions due to the oxygen content. Vascular endothelial growth factor and hypoxia-inducible factor are focused on inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis. OBJECTIVE:To elaborate the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor and hypoxia-inducible factors on chondrocyte apoptosis. METHODS: Recent literatures related to chondrocyte apoptosis were summarized and analyzed. During the process of osteoarthritis, changes in vascular endothelial growth factors in chondrocytes and regulatory effects of vascular endothelial growth factor and hypoxia-inducible factor on chondrocyte apoptosis were elaborated.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, repair of articular cartilage injury has become an important field in basic medical research. Because injured articular cartilage is difficult to repair, the repair of articular cartilage injury has become a difficult hotspot.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cels, underin vivo orin vitro specific induction conditions, can differentiate into the cartilage, muscle, tendons and so on. Clinical trials concerning mesenchymal stem cels mainly include tissue repair (such as bone, cartilage and joint repair) and treatment of heart, liver, spinal cord injury and nervous system diseases.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cels from different sources.
METHODS: PubMed and CNKI databases were retrieved for articles related to sources of mesenchymal stem cels and biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cels published from 1987 to 2015. The retrieved articles were summarized and analyzed in the folowing aspects: cel surface marker, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and function, so as to explore the merits and demerits of mesenchymal stem cels from different sources.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A difference in the proliferation ability and surface markers is found between different sources of mesenchymal stem cels. Immunological competence of mesenchymal stem cels from different sources may be correlated with their activation status, species differences, tissue sources and culture conditions, resulting the immunological competence of mesenchymal stem cels from different sources is not exact the same. In-depth understanding of the factors and mechanisms by which influence the migration of mesenchymal stem cels from different sources can enhance the migration ability of different sources of mesenchymal stem cels, and increase their efficiency in wound healing, tissue repair and regeneration treatment.

BACKGROUND:Articular cartilage repair has been a difficulty in the clinical setting, which is mainly treated with autologous or al ogeneic osteochondral grafts, and cartilage periosteum or periosteum grafts. However, the limited source, secondary lesion and immunological rejection force some researchers to search for a novel treatment strategy, cartilage tissue engineering, that is of great significance for cartilage regeneration and repair. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the tissue-engineered scaffolds for the repair of articular cartilage defects. METHODS:The first author searched the PubMed and WanFang databases for the articles addressing tissue-engineered cartilage for articular cartilage defects published between 1991 and 2015 using the keywords“articular cartilage defect, scaffold, tissue engineered cartilage”in English and Chinese, respectively. The irrelative and repetitive literatures were excluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Final y 48 eligible literatures were enrol ed based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Cartilage tissue engineering possesses the advantages of control ability, little damage to tissue itself, and biological repair of injured cartilage. Tissue-engineered scaffold material is a critical factor in tissue engineering construction;therefore, it should hold biodegradability and histocompatibility. The commonly used scaffold materials include natural macromolecule materials (col agen, silk fibroin and chitosan), and synthetic polymer materials (polylactic acid and tricalcium phosphate). It is necessary to prepare composite scaffolds with high bioactivity integrate advantages of each material. The tissue engineering is bound to be a hotspot in the field of articular cartilage repair.
