Objective:To investigate the capability of corneal cells to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation and the expression of costimulatory molecules on primary human corneal epithelial cells.Methods:Human corneal epithelial cells were cocultivated with peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC). Expression of HLA class Ⅱ antigens, CD40, CD154, CD80 and CD86 was measured by immunohistochemical staining,and the expression of such molecules above on rejected corneal grafts was contrastingly assessed. Activation of lymphocytes was determined by measuring upregulation of CD69 by FACS analysis.Results:HLAⅡ expression was detectable on human primary corneal epithelial cells,and furthermore, upregualtion of costimulatory molecules CD40 and CD80 were also found after induction with ?-interferon. Both of HLA and CD40 were expressed on rejected corneal grafts. T lymphocytes were activated by epithelial cells in the coculture system.Conclusion:Human corneal epithelial cells are involved in rejection process of the corneal transplantation. The immunological reaction is triggered by epithelial cells,and endothelial cells suffer as the targets.

Objective To investigate the expression of Human leucocyte antigen(HLA)-DP,-DQ,-DR and CD40 in human retinal pigment epithelial(RPE)cells,to determine their molecule expression in immune response process,and their abilities to stimulate T lymphocyte activation. Methods Human RPE cells were cultured with or without(-IFN respectively.Expression of HLA-DP,-DQ,-DR and CD40 was measured by immunohistochemical staining.Meanwhile,peripheral blood mononuelear cells(PBMC)were co-cultured with RPE cells in vitro,and then the expression of activated lymphocytes CD69 was measured by fluorescence activated eell sorter(FACS). Results Expression of HLA-DP,-DQ,-DR and CD40 antigen were enhanced by γ-interferon inducement.Increasing amount of CD69 positive Iymphocytes were found in the co-culture system of RPE cells and PBMC. Conclusion T-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood were activated by human RPE cells which is antigen presenting cells with immunological characteristics potential.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy differences between needle-knife therapy and acupuncture-cupping for treatment of cervical spondylosis (CS) of cervical type.

METHODSSixty cases of CS were randomly divided into a needle-knife group (30 cases) and an acupuncture-cupping group (30 cases). The needle-knife therapy was applied at points among superior nuchal line of occipital bone, bilateral neck muscle, neck centerline, trapezius and medial border scapula for only once. In the acupuncture-cupping group, acupuncture was applied at Fengchi (GB 20), Fengfu (GV 16), Tianzhu (BL 10), Dazhui (GV 14), Jianjing (GB 21), Jiaji (Ex-B2, from C4 to C6), Houxi (SI 3) and Ashi point, followed by cupping on local skin, once every other day for totally six times. The score of neck stiffness and visual analogue scale (VAS) were observed before and after treatment, in follow-up of 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment in the two groups, and the efficacy was compared.

RESULTSIn the needle-knife group, 9 cases were cured, 12 cases were markedly effective, 8 cases were effective and 1 case was failed; the total effective rate was 96.7% (29/30) and the cured and markedly effective rate was 70.0% (21/30). In the acupuncture-cupping group, 8 cases were cured, 9 cases were markedly effective, 11 cases were effective and 2 cases were failed; the total effective rate was 93.3% (28/30) and the cured and markedly effective rate was 56.7% (17/30). The difference of total effective rate in the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), but the cured and markedly effective rate of needle-knife group was significantly superior to that of acupuncture-cupping group (P < 0.05). The needle-knife therapy was significantly superior to acupuncture-cupping on improvement of neck stiffness in the follow-up of 1, 3, 6 months after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.001); both treatments were effective on relief of neck pain, but the needle-knife group had better effects in the follow-up of 3 and 6 months after treatment compared with acupuncture-cupping group (both P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe needle-knife therapy has better effects on neck stiffness and pain relief than acupuncture-cupping, and it is more treatment time saving.
