Allograft rejection after xero organ transplantation rejection, especially acute rejection is still the major reason of failure and death. Active T cell play key roles in allograft rejection. It has been showed that the expressions of costimulatory molecules are associated with xero organ transplantation rejection. The pathways of CD28/CTLA-4 and CD40/CD40L are important costimulatory pathways that cause T cell activation.The article emphasizes on the role of CD28/CTLA-4-B7 pathway in allograft rejection.

Objective: To study the effect of ipilimumab on T lymphocytes and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in lung cancer-bearing mice by inhibiting TGF-β1/ERK signaling pathway. Methods: Forty-five C57 mices inoculated with Lewis lung cancer cells were randomly divided into control group, low dose ipilimumab group and high dose ipilimumab group with 15 mice in each. The low and high dose groups were given 3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg ipilimumab respectively, while the control group was given 0.9% sodium chloride solution with the same volume. The effects of ipilimumab on TGF-β1/ERK signaling pathway, Bcl-2 mRNA expression, immune function improvement and tumor inhibition in three groups were detected by WB and qPCR. Results: After administration of ipilimumab, the tumor weight and volume of mice in low-dose and high-dose groups were significantly lower than that of the control group, and the tumor inhibition rate increased in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The thymus index and spleen index of mice were significantly higher than that of control group, which also increased in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). The levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ cells in the high and low dose groups were significantly higher than those in the control group, with significantly higher levels in high dose group compared with the low dose group (P<0.05). The levels of serum inflammatory factors were significantly lower than those in control group, and the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-3 in the high dose group were significantly lower than those in the low dose group (P<0.05). The expressions of TGF-β1, ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2 and MEK in tumor tissues of both high and low dose groups significantly decreased, with more lower levels in high dose group than in low dose groups (all P<0.05), and the positive rate of TGF-β1 expression in high dose group was the lowest. The mRNAexpression of Bcl-2 in tumor tissues of high and low dose groups decreased significantly after drug administration, with a significantly lower level in high does group than that in low dose group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ipilimumab can effectively inhibit TGF-β1/ERK signaling pathway, improve immune function and down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2, thus inhibit the growth of Lewis lung cancer cells and play an antitumor role in mice.

Objective To study the clinical pathological features of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) in middle-aged and elderly patients,and enhance understanding of this disease.Methods Totally 21 patients with WG (11 males,10 females,aged 45 to 76 years,mean age 58.1 years) in our hospial from February 1999 to July 2012 were selected.The clinical and pathological data of WG patients were retrospectively analyzed.34 biopsies including 2 autopsies from different organs were paraffin embedded and stained by hematoxylin and eosin and histochemistry.13 renal biopsies were all examined by immunofluorescence and electron microscope.Results The average time from the onset of clinical symptoms to the diagnosis was 5.3 months (from 24 days to 11.0 months).Eyes,nose and salivary glands were the most commonly involved parts at the beginning of Wegener's granulomatosis (52.4％,11 cases).The percentages of the skin,lung and renal involvement were 14.3％ (3 cases),81.0％ (17 cases) and 71.4％ (15 cases),respectively.Among 21 patients,18 patients were examined with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA).c-ANCA was positive in 72.2 ％ patients (13 cases,13/18),p-ANCA was positive in 16.7％ patients (3 cases,3/18),and ANCA was negative in 11.1％ patients (2 cases,2/18).3 major pathological manifestations were observed:7 kinds of vasculitis including capillaritis,acute vasculitis,chronic vasculitis,fibrinoid necrosis in vasculitis,necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis,non-necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis and cicatricial vascular changes; 4 kinds of granulomatous inflammation including scattered giant cells,palisading histiocytes,poorly formed granulomas and microabscess surrounded by granulomatousinflammation;2 kinds of parenchymal necrosis including geographic necrosis and microabscess.13 kinds of histopathologic features in 3 major manifestations were found from 2 autopsies,but various kinds histopathologic features presented in small biopsy samples.Minor manifestations such as diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage were found at the periphery of WG.Conclusions The wide variation and broad spectrum of pathologic features can occur in WG.Vasculitis,granulomatous inflammation and parenchymal necrosis are the most important histopathological features.The correct diagnosis of WG requires careful correlation of pathology with complicated clinical features.

Objective To investigate the functional changes of anastomosed vascular or neurovascular mini-muscle transfer and to provide experimental data to clinical application. Methods 32 New Zealand rabbits were operated on by anastomosed neurovascular mini-muscle transfer. In group A, 16 rabbits accepted the anastomosed vascular mini-muscle transfer. In group B, 16 rabbits accepted the anastomosed neurovascular mini-muscle transfer. The electromyography was measured 2 months and 3 months after operation. Results The amplitude of electrical muscle graph (EMG) data in the group A was (2.02±0.41)mV 2 months after operation, and (1.73±0.18) mV 3 months after operation. The EMG data in the group B was (3.90±0.52) mV 2 months after operation and (3.35±0.86) mV 3months after opera-tion. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.01). The EMG of anastomosed neu-rovasular mini-muscle transfer was significantly greater than that of anastomosed vasular transfer only.There was no significant difference in latent period of EMG between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclu-sions The muscle functional recovery of anastomosed neurovascular mini-muscle transfer is significant with less demage and no secondary deformity. The results suggest that this technique is worthy to apply for treating facial paralysis.

BACKGROUND:Currently, the study of total hip arthroplasty in elderly is more. Perioperative treatment and postoperative rehabilitation are increasingly perfect, but the study of middle-aged total hip arthroplasty is less, especialy long curative effect in postoperative and long-term folow-up stil has many problems to be solved. In China, there are few studies addressing how to select the prosthesis during total hip arthroplasty in middle-aged patients, which kind or material of prosthesis is better, so the evidence for clinical application is less. OBJECTIVE:To compare and analyze the repair effects of bone cement total hip arthroplasty and uncemented total hip arthroplasty in middle-aged patients. METHODS:A total of 60 middle-aged patients who received total hip arthroplasty in the Department of Orthopedics, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Chinese Medicine Hospital from January 2005 to January 2008 were folowed up for 5 years. Their mean age was (37±6) years. There were 32 cases undergoing uncemented total hip arthroplasty and 28 cases receiving bone cement total hip arthroplasty. At 6 months, 2 and 5 years after replacement, Harris score for recovery of limb function and imaging findings were compared and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Harris score for recovery of limb function was significantly better in the uncemented total hip arthroplasty group than in the bone cement total hip arthroplasty group at 6 months, 2 and 5 years after replacement (P < 0.01). No complications were found at 6 months in the uncemented total hip arthroplasty group, but one case affected osteolysis at 2 years and two cases experienced prosthesis loosing at 5 years after arthroplasty. In the bone cement total hip arthroplasty group, two cases had osteolysis and one case had prosthesis loosing at 6 months after arthroplasty, three cases had prosthesis loosing at 2 years, and two cases affected linear permeability dissolvement at 5 years after arthroplasty. These findings suggest that uncemented prosthesis achieved a high rate of functional restoration and a low rate of complications in middle-aged patients. Uncemented total hip arthroplasty had satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes at a minimum of 5-year folow-up.
