HIV /AIDS related lymphoma (ARL)are a group of heterogeneity of neoplasms,and they have poor prognosis.The factors of pathogenesis elucidated in recent years include immune injury caused by HIV,EB virus infection and genetic changes.There are four pathological types of ARL,including diffuse large B cell lymphoma,Burkitt lymphoma,plasmablastic lymphoma and primary effusion lymphoma.Morphological characteristics,immunophenotype markers and clinical data should be combined to make diagnosis and differen-tial diagnosis,which will facilitate timely treatment and improve prognosis.

Objective To investigate the chemical constituents of Polygala fallax.Methods The chemical constituents were isolated and purified via silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography as well as recrystallization.Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral analysis and physicochemical properties.Results Six compounds were isolated and identified as 3-O?-D-glucopyranosyl senegenic acid(Ⅰ),tenuifolin(Ⅱ),presenegenin(Ⅲ),1,7-dimethoxy-2,3-methylenedioxy xanthone(Ⅳ),sinapinic acid(Ⅴ),ferulic acid(Ⅵ).Conclusion Compounds Ⅲ—Ⅵ are isolated from P.fallax for the first time.Compound Ⅰ is a new triterpenoid saponin,named fallaxsaponin A.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamic changes in the numbers and functions of CD8~+T cells and NK cells in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing first line chemotherapy,so as to identify whether there was a "window period" of anti-tumor immune suppression reverse after chemotherapy.Methods: Peripheral blood samples from each ovarian cancer patient were obtained before (S_0) and at day 5-7 (S_1),day 12-14 (S_2) and day 25-28 (S_3) after Chemotherapy in 13 patients.The numbers and proportions of CD3~+,CD4~+,CD8~+ and nature killer (NK) cells were analyzed by flow cytometry technique.The percentages of specific IFN-γ-secreting CD8~+ cells were also calculated after that peripheral lymphocytes had been stimulated with self tumor lysates.Cytotoxicity of NK cells against K562 cells was detected by LDH releasing assay.Results: The numbers of CD3~+,CD4~+,CD8~+T cells and NK cells reduced to the lowest on S1.Compared to those of the control group,and the percentages of IFN-γ-secreting CD8~+T cells were remarkably higher on S_1,S_2 and S_3 when CD8~+T cells were stimulated with autologous tumor antigen,and the percentage of CD8~+IFN-γ~+ cell reached the highest on S2.No significant differences of NK cell cytotoxicity against K562 cells were found on S_1,S_2 and S_3 compared to S0.Conclusion: Paclitaxel and carboplatin induce lymphopenia,which triggers the temporary immune reconstitution.During immune reconstitution the enhanced priming of CD8~+T cell response by autologons tumor antigen is found while the function of NK cells does not change significantly.It probably turns out that the" window period"during immune reconstitution offers a best opportunity for cancer immunotherapy.

Innate immunity is on the frontline of fight against pathogenic microorganism invasion .As a DNA sensor, absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is an important member of innate immune system.It can recognize dsDNA of pathogenic microbes to form AIM 2 inflammasomes , which facilitates defending and clearing the invasion of pathogens by activating caspase-1 dependent pyroptosis and the mature of IL-18 and IL-1β.AIM2 inflammasomes play an important part in responding to Listeria monocytogenes, Francisella tularensis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Aspergillus fumigatus, vaccinia virus , murine cytomegalovirus , and hepatitis B virus infections .This paper introduces the components of AIM 2 inflammasomes and summarizes its function in defending the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms .

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factors are a family of multifunctional cytokines that can enhance vascular permeability, induce angiogenesis, promote endothelial cel growth and migration, and inhibit cel apoptosis.
OBJECTIVE:To elaborate the latest progress in the role of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors in the corneal tissue.
METHODS:A computer-based search of PubMed databases was performed for relevant articles published from 2005 to 2015. The key words were “vascular endothelial growth factor, cornea”. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 43 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors are involved in the regulation of corneal neovascularization by causing Tip cel activation that affects the Notch signaling pathways. Corneal lymphatic regeneration mainly relies on macrophages to secrete vascular endothelial growth factor-C or vascular endothelial growth factor-D that further activate vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 in the lymphatic endothelial cels to cause cel proliferation and migration, and eventualy lead to the formation of new lymphatic vessels. But herpes simplex keratitis HSK induces the corneal lymphatic regeneration by vascular endothelial growth factor-A/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 pathway. Vascular endothelial growth factor family can significantly improve the damaged corneal nerve endings, epithelium and corneal sensitivity, has the function of nerve nutrition and promote restoration of the corneal epithelium.

[Objective]To discuss the causes and preventive measures about complications of iliac crest bone graft harvesting.[Method]From Jan.1990 to Jan.2005,828 patients with iliac crest bone graft harvesting were reviewed retrospectively,their complications were taken statistical analysis.[Result]Fifteen patients were found with superficial infections;10 deep infections;20 patients with superficial seromas and 10 patients with minor hematomas;4 deep hematomas;30 nerve injuries;3 vascular injuries,all 3 cases occurred secondary to harvesting of posterior iliac crest bone grafts;1 donor defect hernias,and 2 iliac wing fractures.[Conclusion]The causes of complications are incorrectly harvesting and rude operation.The preventive measures are that operators should know the anatomic characteristic of ilium and microinvasion.

Objective To investigate the changes of Tc1/Tc2 profiles and the cytotoxic function of CD8~+ cells in ovarian cancer patients undergoing paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy, so as to identify whether there is a "window period" of anti-tumor immune suppression reverse after chemotherapy. Methods Blood samples from each ovarian cancer patient were obtained before (S_0) and at day 5-7 (S_1), day 12-14 (S_2) and day 25-28 (S_3) after chemotherapy in 13 patients. Thirteen age-matched healthy female volunteers were enrolled as a control group. Flow cytometry technique was employed to analyze the proportion of Tc1/Tc2. The numbers of specific IFN-γ, secreting CD8~+ cells were also calculated after peripheral lymphocytes had been stimulated with self tumor lysates. Results The proportion of Tel in CD8~+ cells increased re-markably on S2 while the proportion of Tc2 in CD8~+ cells remained no significant changes after chemothera-py. The ratio of Tc1 to Tc2 cells reached the highest on S_2. IFN-γ/secreting CD8~+ T cells also increased re-markably on S_2, especially when CD8~+ T cells were stimulated with autologous tumor antigen. Conclusion Paclitaxel and carboplatin induce the changes of Tc1/Tc2 profile and augment anti-tumor immune response by immune reconstitution. It probably turns out that the "window period" during immune reconstitution offers a best opportunity for cancer immunotherapy.
