Objective To explore the relationship between serum HBV DNA level , expression of PD-1 on CTL and liver functions in patients with hepatitis B virus cirrhosis. Methods 109 HBV hepatic cirrhosis patients with , HBV DNA positive , HBeAg positive and HLA-A2 positive were divided into two groups according to their HBV DNA levels,52 cases in group A, HBV DNA 2-4 log10 copies/mL, 57cases in group B, HBV DNA 5-7 log10 copies/mL , differences of HBV specific CTL surface PD-1 expressions , HBV specific CTL levels and liver functions were compared between two groups. Results HBV specific CTL surface PD-1 expressions of group A were lower than that of group B (t = 11.101, P < 0.01), HBV specific CTL levels of group A were higher than that of group B (t = 24.424, P < 0.01), ALT of group A were lower than that of group B (t = 2.652, P < 0.01), ALB of group A were higher than that of group B (t = 2.347, P < 0.05). Child-pugh rating, grade C of group A was lower than that of group B (χ2= 4.262,P < 0.05). Conclusions HBV specific CTL surface PD-1 expression levels were higher in those hepatic cirrhosis patients with , high level of serum HBV DNA, and HBV specific CTL levels were lower, liver functions damage were much serious. So, lower HBV DNA levels , lower HBV specific CTL surface PD-1 expression levels and higher HBV specific CTL levels can product relatively good effect of anti-viral treatment.

Objective To confirm the transmission of Toxoplasma gondii by semen and to investigate the impact of vaginal status on the transmission of T. gondii in female rabbits. Methods Sixteen male rabbits were infected with T. gondii by intraperitoneal injection each with 1 ×105 RH tachyzoites. Eight rabbits died in 8-14 d after infection.Artificial vagina was used to collect semen from male rabbits weekly before and after infection for 8 weeks. If more than 2 portions of semen from 8 survived male rabbits were collected after infection, the collected semen was mixed weekly for later use. Twenty-seven female rabbits were divided into 4 groups: group 1 with normal vagina (7 rabbits), group 2with wounded vagina (7), group 3 with trichomonas vaginitis (7) and group 4 with colpomycosis infection (6). Tachyzoites were found in mixed semen digested by trypsinase, and were used for endovaginal artificial insemination to female rabbits by uterine cavity tube once a week for 8 consecutive weeks. 2-3 d after every insemination, 2 ml blood was collected from helix vein of each rabbit, and stored at -40 ℃ for use. Anti-T. gondii antibody was examined by ELISA and the B1 gene of T. gondii was detected by PCR. Results Anti-T. gondii antibody was detected in some rabbits (2, 3, 1, and 1 rabbits from each of the groups respectively) on the 16th day after the first insemination. The positive rate of ELISA was 25.9%. The amplification of B1 gene (200 bp) by PCR appeared positive from the blood samples on the 3rd day after the first insemination and the last positive one was proved on the 51th day after the first insemination.Number of positive samples was 2, 1, 3 and 1 in the 4 groups respectively, with an overall PCR positive rate of 18.5%.Only 3 of the 27 rabbits were positive by both ELISA and PCR. Conclusions T. gondii can be transmitted by semen and the health status of vagina shows no impact on it.

BACKGROUND: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) uses non-invasive signals to probe the human body and then detect the responses on the boundary of the body in order to reconstruct an impedance distribution inside the body. Compared to CT and MRI, EIT takes the advantages of realtime technique, lower cost and easiness for both continuous monitoring and functional imaging.OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to perform the in vivo measurement of the rabbit brain impedance frequency response before and after ischemia. And it was to verify the feasibility of EIT in brain functional imaging by ischemia brain functional imaging using EIT.DESIGN: It was a single-sample experiment.SETTING: It was conducted at the Department of Medical Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This study was conducted at the Department of Medical Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from August to September 2001 and 10 healthy rabbits were selected.METHODS: Cerebral ischemia animal model was made using carotid artery ligation. Then the in vivo measurement of the rabbit brain impedance frequency response before and after ischemia was performed.Dynamic unilateral brain blood supply was recorded using EIT imaging.curves were plot before and after ischemia in the frequency range from 0.1 Hz EIT imagingRESULTS: Nine rabbits entered the statistical analysis and one was omitimpedance increased significantly. The ratio of increasing impedance can be up to 75% at frequencies lower than 10 Hz. And in the range from 1 kHz namic imaging showed that the changes in unilateral brain blood supply is accordant with the corresponding regions having a changing impedance.CONCLUSION: The changes in brain tissue impedance before and after ischemia can be imaged and it could be used as a variable for EIT imaging.
