Acute and chronic graft rejection are the major factors leading to graft non-function.There is an active expression of chemokines early after transplantation.They recruit T cells and antigen presenting cells selectively to the graft, leading to inflammatory reaction and finally to graft non-function.Accordingly,monitoring the expression status of chemokines and their receptors regularly may help to the diagnose rejection.To determine one or more chemokines or their receptors as the new targets for anti-rejection therapy will be of great clinical significance.This review focuses on the research progression in the above areas.

J6-1 cell line is the first leukemic cell line established in China. It is a multi-clone cell line infected with both EBV and HHV-6.

Objective To study the combination treatment of lfexible/lfexible sheath and rigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy (F-ul) for upper and middle ureteral stones. Methods The clinical data of patients diagnosed of upper and middle ureteral stones were collected. The treated group (110 cases):ifrstly treated with rigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy to broke and removed stones through lfexible sheath, then the lfexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy was used to broke and removed stones through lfexible sheath;The control group (110 cases):traditional operation for ureter calculi. The clinical data was compared between the two groups. Results The effective ratio of treatment group is 90.0%, which was better than that of control group (87.3%) (P>0.05). The operation time, stone processing time of treatment group were signiifcantly shorter than those of control group (P<0.05), and F-ul using time was signiifcantly much more (P<0.05). The hospitalization time and complication rate were no signiifcantly difference between the two groups (P> 0.05). Conclusion The method of combining flexible/flexible sheath and rigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy for upper and middle ureteral stones was better than that of traditional operation, which worth to be popularize in clincal treatment.

AIM:To investigate atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) circadian in the encapsulated human ANP(hANP) cDNA transfected cells,to alter the ANP circadian by artificial control to achieve the objective of effectively treat hypertension or congestive heart failure(CHF). METHODS:ANP cDNA was transfected into Chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cells,which were encapsulated in polycarprolactone(PCL) tubes.The longterm survival of transfected CHO cells and the levels of ANP secreted were detected.Circadian rhythm of ANP secreted by encapsulated transfected cells was also studied,which was regulated by melatonin. RESULTS:During culturing,the ANP level secreted by transfected CHO cells in 2 mL of culture medium within 24 hours could reach 210.3 ng/L in a 20 mm-long and 2 mm-diameter PCL tube.The section of ANP displayed a circadian variation:higher in daytime,but lower at night.The acrophase of circadian rhythm was 4:15 but could be shifted to 7:55 after melatonin management. CONCLUSION:ANP cDNA transfected CHO cells that encapsulated into PCL tube can secret ANP,which might be suitable for the future implantation into human body.Our research provides a new approach in the treatment of hypertension and CHF by ANP.

Objective To explore the role of CD 30 on CD4 + T lymphocyte and T lymphocyte subset activation in asthma pathogenesis.Methods Twenty seven asthma active attack patients,16 acute upper respiratory infection patients and 19 control children were randomly selected. Direct immunofluorescence flow cytometry was used to detect the CD 30 positive percentage on CD4 +cell; ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin(IL) 4 and IL 13 in culture supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) and plasma total immunoglobulin E(IgE) level.Results Compared with control group and acute upper respiratory infection group, in asthmatic children the CD4 +CD 30 + percentage on CD4 + cell was elevated significantly; 2.The levels of IL 4 and IL 13 in supernatants of cultured lymphocyte were increased significantly, the plasma total IgE level was increased significantly;3.There was a significant positive correlation of CD4 +CD 30 + cell percentage with the levels of IL 4 and IL 13 in culture supernatants and plasma total IgE.Conclusions The cell that could produce Th2 derived cytokine may consist of CD 30 +cell;When CD 30 L combined with CD 30 on CD4 + cells ,it might result in Th2 cell proliferation ,develop and release Th2 derived cytokine; IL 4 and IL 13 could induce B cell production and secrete more IgE. It is suggested that CD 30 and imbalance of Th2 subset may play an important role in asthma pathogenesis.
