Peripheral T cells are closely related to nature killer( NK)cells,and share some immunophenotypic and functional properties with NK cells.Peripheral T-cell and NK cell lymphomas are heterogeneous groups of lymphomas,and the subgroup classification is complicated.Currently,the pathogenetic molecular lesions remain not to be deciphered for most entities.However,novel insights into the features of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma displaying correlation with normal helper T cells,the gene of anaplastic large cell lymphoma,and potential therapeutic biomarkers,have been gained from molecular technology application.

The chemiluminescence reaction of amidopyrine-potassium permanganate with formaldehyde as an enhancer was investigated by flow injection system. A method for the determination of amidopyrine on the basis of this technique was proposed. The detection limit is 3.0×10－8 g/mL, the relative standard deviation is 1.3% (4.0×10－6 g/mL amidopyrine,n=11).The linear range is 1.0×10－7～8.0×10－5g/mL amidopyrine.　The method has been applied to the determination of amidopyrine in the antondin injection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in lung tissues during one lung ventilation (OLV) in rats.MethodsTwenty-four male SD rats weighing 220-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =6 each):control group (group C) ; two lung ventilation group (group T); OLV group (group O) and sevoflurane preconditioning+ OLV group (group SO).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium 40 mg/kg.In group T,the animals were tracheal intubated and bilateral lungs were ventilated for 1 h (VT 10 ml/kg,RR 60 bpt/min,I∶E 1∶2) and PETCO2 was maintained at 35-50 mm Hg.In groups O and SO,the animals were tracheal intubated and OLV was performed for 1 h (VT 5 ml/kg,RR 80 bpt/min,I:E 1:2) and PETCO2 was maintained at 35-50 mm Hg.In group SO,2.4％sevoflurane was inhaled for 30 min before OLV and then washed out by inhalation of oxygen for 15 min.The left lung tissues were removed in groups C and T,and the bilateral lung tissues were removed in groups.O and SO for microscopic examination and determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) and expression of HO-1 (by Western blot).Results Compared with group C,W/D ratio was significantly increased and the expression of HO-1 was up-regulated in left lung tissues in group T and in bilateral lung tissues in groups O and SO ( P ＜0.05).Compared with group T,W/D ratio was significantly increased and the expression of HO-1 was up-regulated in bilateral lung tissues in group O and in right lung tissues in group SO ( P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group O,W/D ratio was significantly decreased,the expression of HO-1 was up-regulated (P ＜ 0.05) and the pathological changes were reduced in bilateral lung tissues in group SO.ConclusionThe mechanism by which sevoflurane preconditioning reduces OLV-induced lung injury is related to up-regulation of HO-1 expression.

A Review: A concept of tissue adaptation to hypoxia (i. e. hypoxic preconditioning) was developed and its corresponding animal models were reproduced in 1966s. The methods of model reproduction in rat, rabbit, and mouse in particular and the main results are briefly introduced in this review. The tolerance to hypoxia of preconditioned animals is significantly increased. Regular changes in animals' behavior, neurophysiology, respiratory and circulatory physiology, neuron morphology in vivo and function of brain and spinal cord in vitro are briefly demonstrated. The protective effects in vivo and in vitro of homogenate extract taken from the brain of preconditioned animals, neurochemicals and molecular neurobiological alterations are briefly presented. The essence and significance of tissue adaptation to hypoxia/hypoxic preconditioning are discussed in the review in terms of evolution and practical implication.

Cardiovascular disease, with high morbidity and mortality, has been threatening the health of human beings. Therefore, expecting to find a more effective therapeutic method, a plenty of researchers devote themselves to the study of the cardiovascular disease all the time. Since discovered on the heart, M3 receptor of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAchR, M receptor) became a new starting point of the research of the cardiovascular disease. With more and more investigation, many people found that M3 receptor could protect the heart from kinds of cardiovascular disease, which may make it a new hopeful therapeutic point. So, expecting to give support to the reference and encouragement for the study of disease related to M3 receptor in future, this review expounds M3 receptor on the heart from the main following aspects: the effect on the heart, the influence on the cardiovascular disease and the mechanism of M3 receptor involved.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of immunodepressant on Crohn's disease (CD).Methods 105 patients with CD were collected from 1983 to 2006 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital.All of their clinical manifestations and therapeutic results were analyzed retrospectively.Results (1)The application of immunedepressant was significantly increased after the year of 2000 (34.7% vs 3.0%,P=0.000).(2)The application of immunodepressant and the clinical features of these patients were as fouows：①The number of patients with modcrate to severe CD were more than that with mild CD in those using immunodepressant (28.9% vs 0).②The use of immunodepressant was not related with the diseased site of CD.because there were no difference among the groups with lesion in small intestine (20.0%),colon(27.3%)and ileocolon(27.1%),P=0.726.③The serum albumin level of CD patients using immunodepressant was significantly lower than that of those not using(31.9 g/L vs 35.1 g/L,P=0.047).④The use of immunodepressant did not decrease the incidenee of operative treatment(38.5% vs 50.0%,P=0.320).(3)The rate of remission in 19 CD patients using azathioprine is 68.4%(13/19)and the percentage of neutrophil in the group with relief was lower than that without relief(0.76 vs 0.65,P=0.032).Conclusions Immunodepressant is playing more important role in the treatment of CD.The patients with moderate and severe CD with as well as lower serum albumin should be treated with immunodepressant as early as possible.Whether immunedepressant is necessary or not is not decided by the diseased site.CD patients with higher percentage of neutrophil have less therapeutic effect than those with lower.
