Objective To detect TCRγ gene rearrangements in skin lesions and peripheral blood of patients with parapsoriasis, and to study their clinical significance. Methods Totally, 20 patients with parapsoriasis were included in this study. BIOMED?2 multiplex PCR was performed to detect TCRγgene rearrangements in lesional skin (n=20)and peripheral blood(n=11)samples from the patients with parapsoriasis. Statistical analysis was performed to assess the relationship of TCRγ gene rearrangements with clinical types of parapsoriasis as well as general information and histopathological manifestations(including non?specific manifestations and atypical manifestations)of patients. Results TCRγ gene rearrangements were positive in lesional skin from 7 of the 20 patients, in peripheral blood from 3 of 11 patients, and in both lesional skin and peripheral blood from 2 patients. Positive TCRγ gene rearrangements in skin lesions were significantly correlated with mycosis fungoides(MF)?related atypical histopatho?logical manifestations(P<0.05), but those in neither skin lesions nor peripheral blood were correlated with gender and age of patients or clinical course and types of parapsoriasis(all P>0.05). During an average follow?up time of 44.85 ± 18.48 months, 1 case progressed into MF, and 2 were cured. Conclusions Positive TCRγgene rearrangements in skin lesions of patients with parapsoriasis may be correlated with MF?related atypical manifestations. The presence of TCRγgene rearrangements and atypical histopathological manifestations may suggest the possibility of progression from parapsoriasis into MF.

Objective To analyze the correlation of interleukin(IL)-12B gene single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)rs6887695 with clinical phenotypes(including age at onset,family history,clinical types,gender)of psoriasis vulgaris in Chinese Han population.Methods This study recruited 575 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 1403 healthy controls.DNA samples were obtained from these subjects.PCR with Taqman fluorescent probe(ABI 7900 system)was performed to analyze the genotype of SNP rs6887695 in IL-12B gene.Statistical analysis was carried out by using the software SPSS 14.0,and Chi-square test was conducted to compare the frequency of the SNP rs6887695 genotypes and alleles between the patients and controls as well as between patients with different clinical phenotypes of psoriasis.Results The frequency of GG,GC and CC genotype of the SNP rs6887695 was 42.61％,45.39％ and 12.0％ respectively in the patients,compared to 34.42％,47.83％ and 17.75％ in the healthy controls(x2 =16.31,P ＜ 0.01);the frequency of G and C allele of the SNP rs6887695 was 65.30％ and 34.70％ respectively in the patients,compared to 58.34％ and 41.66％ respectively in the healthy controls(x2 =16.54,P＜0.01).Significant differences were observed in the distribution of genotypes and alleles of the SNP rs6887695 between patients with chronic plaque psoriasis(n =543)and those with acute guttate psoriasis(n =32,x2 =18.11,12.19,both P ＜ 0.01).Increased frequency of G allele and GG genotype of the SNP rs6887695 were noted in the patients with psoriasis vulgaris compared with the healthy controls,and in the patients with plaque psoriasis compared with those with guttate psoriasis.However,there was no statistical difference in the distribution of SNP rs6887695 genotypes or alleles between 540 patients with adult onset psoriasis and 35 patients with child onset psoriasis,between 102 patients with family history and 440 patients without family history,or between 341 male patients and 234 female patients(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The IL-12B SNP rs6887695 may be associated with the susceptibility to psoriasis vulgaris in Chinese Han population,especially with the susceptibility to plaque psoriasis,but seems unassociated with the age at onset,family history or gender of patients.

Objective To investigate the pathogenic significance of antigenic epitopes and their relevant antibodies in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) by neonatal mouse model. Methods The extracellular domain 1-2 (EC1-2) fusion protein was expressed and purified by glutathione affinity chromatography on the basis of construction of recombinant EC1-2 vector, and then the New Zealand white rabbits were immunized to obtain the specific antisera. The IgG fraction was transferred into the neonatal mice passively after it was purified from the antisera. After 15-18 hours of injection, the abdomen skin and the sera of the mice were examined by light microscopy, electron microscopy, direct immunofluorescence and indirect immunofluorescence. Results In the evaluation of the study group of mice, the intraepithelial vesicle formation was observed. Electron microscopy showed that intercellular spaces were widened, desmosome split and disappeared. In immunofluorescence, the fluorescence-labeled IgG deposied between the acantholytic cells. In the control group of mice there were no pathogenic changes observed, except very weak fluorescence between intercellular spaces. Conclusion The PV mouse model established shows that the EC1-2 epitope in PVA antigen and its relevant antibodies were pathogenic, and can be used as a tool in studying the pathogenesis of PV.

Objective To summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment for solid-pseudopapillary tumors of the pancreas (SPT). Methods A retrospective clinical analysis about clinical, imaging and pathologic data was made on 16 cases of SPT admitted from January 2005 to December 2009. Results Five had SPT in the head of the pancreas, 5 in the body of the pancreas, 6 in the tail of the pancreas. The first symptom was intermittent epigastric pain ( n = 7), abdominal aponia mass ( n = 3), Pancreatic tumor found by chance (n =4), weight loss (n =2). Solid and Solid-cystic masses of low echo were found in US. Masses of low density in pancreas were found on CT scan, while irregular enhancement appeared in the circumference of all tumors in enhanced CT scan sequences. Tumor markers in patients' erum were all negative.9 patients underwent distal pancreatectomy and spleen resection, including 1 patient also underwent left hemicolectomy. Local excision of tumor was performed in 4 cases. Pancreatic local excision and pancreaticojejunostomy were performed in 3 cases. 14 cases were followed up with an period of from 3 to 48 months. No evidence of relapses and metastasis in these cases was found. Conclusion SPT primarily affects young women, and it may be located in any part of pancreas. Surgical resection is recommended as the treatment of choice. The prognosis is good.

Objective:To investigate the expression of TLR4 mRNA?TLR2 mRNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from the patients with Gram positive and Gram negative infections.Methods:TLR4 and TLR2 mRNA were detected in the patients with Gram negative infections ( n =20) and the patients with Gram positive infections ( n =15) and the normal persons as control ( n =24) with the method of Taqman Real-time PCR.Results:TLR4 mRNA expression in the patients with Gram negative infections were significantly higher than Gram positive infections patients and the normals ( P 0.05).Conclusion:The results showed that the increased expression levels of TLR4 mRNA in PBMC from the Gram negative infectious patients are associated with Gram negative infections and the detection of TLR4 mRNA expression may be a method of diagnosis for Gram negative infections in the early stage.

Through potted inoculation test at room temperature and indoor analysis, the photosynthetic parameters and physiological and biochemical indexes of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis were observed after 28 arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were injected into the P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis growing in a sterile soil environment. The results showed that AM fungi established a good symbiosis with P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. The AM fungi influenced the photosynthetic parameters and physiological and biochemical indexes of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. And the influences were varied depending on different AM fungi. The application of AM fungi improved photosynthesis intensity of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis mesophyll cells, the contents of soluble protein and soluble sugar, protective enzyme activity of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis leaf, which was beneficial to resist the adverse environment and promote the growth of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. Otherwise, there was a certain mutual selectivity between P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis and AM fungi. From the comprehensive effect of inoculation, Racocetra coralloidea, Scutellospora calospora, Claroideoglomus claroideum, S. pellucida and Rhizophagus clarus were the most suitable AM fungi to P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis when P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis was planted in the field.
