Objective:Generation and functional analysis of EBV LMP2A specific CTL elicited by DC transfected with recombinant adenovirus in vitro .Methods:PBMC were isolated from healthy EBV carriers and NPC patients, and then cocultured with autologous mature Ad5 LMP2A transfected DC at the ratios of 20∶1. Cytotoxicity of LMP2A specific CTL was determined with LDH release assay, the populations of CTL were performed by FACS,the IFN ? secretion and FasL mRNA expression of the CTL were detected by biological activity assays and RT PCR, respectively.Results:The results showed that high cytotoxicity of LMP2A specific CTL could be elicited by autologous transfected DC. The cytotoxicity boosted with the increase of transfected DC stimulation times, but there were no significant changes between two and three stimulations.The phenotypic analysis demonstrated that the LMP2A specific CTL induced at day 14 consisted of a majority of CD4 + and CD8 +T cells, and only a small percentage of CD56 + cells. The IFN ? secreted in the supernatants of cell culture also increased with the stimulation times. In addition, the specific CTL at day 14 from EBV healthy carriers could express FasL mRNA.Conclusion:Strong and functional EBV specific CTL could be generated by autologous mature DC transfected with adenovirus encoding LMP2A, which could provide a rationale for the immunotherapy of EBV associated NPC.

PURPOSE: Developing a risk prediction model for invasive fungal disease based on an analysis of the disease-related risk factors in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) to diagnose the invasive fungal disease in the early stages and determine the time of initiating early antifungal treatment. METHODS: Data were collected retrospectively from 141 critically ill adult patients with at least 4 days of general ICU stay at Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University during the period from February 2015 to February 2016. Logistic regression was used to develop the risk prediction model. Discriminative power was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC). RESULTS: Sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, antibiotic treatment period, and positive culture of Candida albicans other than normally sterile sites are the three predictors of invasive fungal disease in critically ill patients in the ICU. The model performs well with an ROC-AUC of .73. CONCLUSION: The risk prediction model performs well to discriminate between critically ill patients with or without invasive fungal disease. Physicians could use this prediction model for early diagnosis of invasive fungal disease and determination of the time to start early antifungal treatment of critically ill patients in the ICU.

AIM: To identify the differentially expressed lncRNAs related to myelodysplastic syndromes by method of bioinformatics. METHODS: The GSE145733 was downloaded from GEO database; the differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened out by GEO2R. miRNA and mRNA associated with the differentially expressed lncRNAs were analyzed by the platform miRDB. lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network was constructed and visualized by Cytoscape software. We annotated and enriched the lncRNAs to biological functions and pathways by GO and KEGG tools. RESULTS: Five differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened out. These lncRNAs were associated with 19 miRNAs and 84 mRNAs. They mainly affected the functions such as substance synthesis and transportation, gene transcription, and nervous system. CONCLUSION: We discovered the lncRNA expression characteristics in MDS patients, predicted the functions of these lncRNAs, which may provide new drug targets for the precise medication in MDS.

Objective:To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of wound pathogenic microorganisms in outpatients of wound healing center so as to provide a basis for the standardized construction of wound healing centers.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyzed the data of 365 outpatients treated at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from December 2017 to October 2019. There were 220 males and 145 females, aged (58.8±18.9)years (range, 18-98 years). The patients included 92 first-visit patients and 273 re-visit patients. The culture results (positive rate of pathogenic microorganisms, bacterial species, bacterial distribution) and drug sensitivity results of the wound secretions were compared and analyzed.Results:(1) Among 365 samples of wound secretions, 198 patients were positive for pathogenic microorganisms with a positive rate of 54.3%. A total of 107 strains (51.0%) of Gram-positive bacteria were detected, mainly Staphylococcus aureus (70 strains, 33.3%); 95 strains (45.2%) of Gram-negative bacteria were detected, mainly Escherichia coli (20 strains, 9.5%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17 strains, 8.1%); 8 strains (3.8%) of fungi were detected. (2) A total of 26 (28.3%) first-visit patients were positive for pathogenic microorganisms, and 172 (63.0%) re-visit patients were positive for pathogenic microorganisms. The rate of positive microorganism detection had significant differences between first-visit and re-visit patients ( P<0.05). (3) A total of 29 strains were detected in first-visit patients, including 16 strains (55.2%) of Gram-positive bacteria, 11 strains (37.9%) of Gram-negative bacteria and 2 strains (6.9%) of fungi. A total of 181 strains were detected in re-visit patients, including 91 strains (50.3%) of Gram-positive bacteria, 84 strains (46.4%) of Gram-negative bacteria and 6 strains (3.3%) of fungi. The microbial distribution was significantly different between first-visit and re-visit patients ( P<0.05). (4) Compared with first-visit patients, the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from the re-visit patients to spenicillin, oxacillin, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, clindamycin, moxifloxacin, erythromycin, and levofloxacin were increased variably. No vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was detected, indicating that the staphylococcus aureus presented in the wound was highly sensitive to vancomycin. Conclusions:Staphylococcus aureus is the most common microorganism in wound secretions in outpatients of wound healing center. The rate of positive pathogenic microorganisms in wound secretions of re-visit patients is significantly higher than that of first-visit patients, and the distribution of pathogenic microorganisms of first-visited and revisited patients differs significantly. The Staphylococcus aureus detected in re-visit patients has a higher resistance to common antibiotics compared with first-visit patients. It is suggested that timely detection of pathogenic microorganisms in outpatients and effective control and supervision of outpatient infections are important contents that cannot be ignored in the construction of wound healing center.
