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 explore the role of hypoxia in C_2C_(12) cells proliferation.Methods:We chose 10% oxygen concentration.Cell numbers were counted with a hemacytometer.The proliferous indexes were observed with a flow cytometer.HIF-1? protein was determined by Western blot,mRNA expression was determined with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results:The cell numbers and proliferous indexes were higher(P

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.

Objective To construct the clone vector of S gene in occult hepatitis B virus infection.To analyse its mutations and to construct its prokaryotic expression vector.Methods To amplify the HBV S gene with polymerase chain reaction(PCR),recombinate the S gene and vector PUC18,sub-clone the recombination and construct its prokaryotic expression vector with pThiohis B. Results There were two samples negative with positive HBV DNA from 64 samples with negative hepatitis B surface antigen.The clone vector and prokaryotic fusion protein expression vector of an occult HBV infection′s S gene were successfully constructed.The S gene was not changed by sequencing analysis.Conclusion The fluorescence quantitive polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) can examine low-copies in occult hepatitis B virus infection.Determining quantitivly HBV DNA of recombination can identify the recombination and display multiplication state intuitirely.It is very successful in constructing the clone vector and prokaryotic fusion protein expression vector.

Musashi is a family of RNA binding proteins with a conservative evolution. This protein family is selectively ex-pressed in the nervous system and comprises two members, namely, Musashi-1 and Musashi-2. Musashi-1 and Musashi-2 are transla-tional suppressors of Numb mRNA and can synergistically regulate the Notch signaling pathway;as a result, an asymmetric division of stem cells occurs. Musashi-1 is the first member of the family and was originally isolated from Drosophila. As a candidate stem gene, Musashi-1 participates in disease progression in stem cells. Musashi-1 is also an important protein that maintains the functions of stem cells, participates in tumor-related signaling pathways, and participates in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Furthermore, Musashi-1 is overexpressed in many solid tumors, such as neuroglioma, esophagus, gastric, colorectal, and breast cancers. Studies on Musashi-1 can provide new insights into genetic diagnosis and cancer treatments. In this study, the structure and function of Musashi-1 and the re-search progress of tumor mechanisms were summarized and reviewed.

Pathogenesis and development of gastric carcinoma is a complicated process of polygene action. In recent years, it was recognized that the genes with relation to pathogenesis and development of gastric carcinoma include proto oncogenes, suppress genes and apoptosis gene. The three sorts of genes correlate with molecular pathology process of gastric carcinoma in various periods, and it certainly appears rules. The detection of some gastric carcinoma related genes are important in early diagnosis and prognosis of the tumor.

Objective: To improve the digital image system's retrieval speed and transmission efficiency, change the defect of traditional preservation and improve diagnostic quality of the image. Methods:Medical information transmission based on the socket can make the multi-threading parallel work to improve the running speed of the program, so images and files can be transmitted quickly. Results:Socket-based multi-threading technology is applied to the hospital departments and various remote medical system, that will improve the transmission speed and save time and money. Conclusion: Medical information transmission based on the socket can manage and application the medical imaging effectively.

Objective To explore the structural foundation of transport pathway of pineal secretions from the pineal body to the cerebrospinal fluid of subarachnoid space. Methods The pineal capsule of the superficial pineal body of 1.5-month and 12-month old rats was observed under scanning electron microscope(SEM).Results Cribriform and trumpet-shaped epithelial stomata were scattered on the pineal capsule.Cribriform epithelial stomata were seen mostly in 1.5-month old rats.They were composed of many round pores which pierced through the full-thickness of the periphery of the capsule endothelium.The pores were dense and ranged from 200-500 nm in diameter;trumpet-shaped epithelial stomata were seen in both 1.5-month and 12-month old rats.Trumpet-shaped epithelial stomata were located among epithelial cells of the pineal capsule.They were round or elliptic in shape and ranged from 1-4 ?m in diameter.On the surface of the pineal capsule,many secretory granules were observed.They were spherule and 8001 000 nm in diameter.Conclusion The releasing pattern of secretory granules of the pineal body could include a releasing of the whole membrane;the pineal secretions may be transported directly from the pineal body to the cerebrospinal fluid of subarachnoid space through the epithelial stomata of the pineal capsule.
