Objective To explore the pattern and quantify the heat shock protein HSP)70 and HSP70 mRNA in Vero-E6 cells after infection with Hantann virus(HTNV).Methods The expres- sion of HSP70 and change of its mRNA level were detected by immunocytochemical staining,nucleic acid hybridization in situ and RT-PCR.Results In situ hybridization and RT-PCR were used to eval- uate the level of HSP70 mRNA during Hantaan 76-118 infection.HSP70 mRNA increased 0.5 h after infection,reached its peak by 12 h and gradually declined to steady state level by 72 h(vs.sham infec- ted group,P＜0.05).The expression of HSP70 protein induced by Hantaan 76-118 infection was e- valuated by quantitative immunocytochemical staining.HSP70 increased 0.5 h after infection,reached its peak by 12 h and decreased at 72 h after infection(vs.sham infected group,P＜0.05).Conclu- sions HSP70 can be induced directly by HTNV infection at both mRNA and protein levels,It pro- vides a basis for the further study of the pathogenesis,prevention and treatment of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HFRS).

Objective Research the correlation between expression of MMP-2 in colorectal cancer and patho- logical factors,or biological behaviors in colorectal cancer.Methods The expression of MMP-2 in 68 cases with col- orectal cancer were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results The expression of MMP-2 in colorectal can- cer was not correlated with tumor region and histologic type,but related with depth of tumor invasion and metasta- sis.The frequency of positive cases in patients with colorectal cancer with of lymph,node metastasis was significantly higher than that in patients without lymph node metastasis(P

Up to date, eight types of human herpes viruses have been identified, all of which are ubiquitous, and usually establish latent infection in the host after primary infection. Since most of the herpes viruses are maintained in an asymptomatic form, they are often neglected. However, under some circumstances, these herpes viruses can cause fatal or severe diseases. Furthermore, the association of herpes viruses with hematopoietic malignancies is attracting researchers' attention. With the extensive development of hematopoietic stem cell and organ transplantation, reports regarding transplantation failure and complication caused by infection of human herpes virus has been increasing. Cytokine storm was firstly suggested as the mechanism of graft-versus-host diseases. In recent years, which has also been applied in the pathogenesis research of inflammation, and is supposed to play an important role in severe virus infection. In this paper, through discussing the possible role of latent infection of human herpes virus in the failure or complication of bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and in refractory leukemia, the function and significance of latent infection of human herpes virus and the cytokine storm it caused were investigated.

Relapse, which puzzled several generations of hematologists, is the bottle-neck of radical treatment for leukemias. The progress of Human Microbiome Project at the beginning of 21st century suggested that human body was a super-organism constituted by the core of human cells and symbiotic microorganisms. The elucidation and characterization of endogenous retrovirus and prion protein suggested the possible effects of co-evolutional microorganisms on human health. Recently, the elucidation of the roles of tunneling nanotubes in intercellular communication and transportation suggested a novel way for cellular communication and transport of oncogenic materials. The role and significance of in vivo cell fusion have been studied in more detail. On the other hand, donor cell leukemia was reported. All of these approaches provide novel insights for studying the mechanism of leukemia relapse. Based on previous work, the authors suggest the hypothesis: there are two possible mechanisms for the relapse of leukemias: the minimal residual disease (MRD) and intercellular transportation of oncogenic materials.

As pioneer of tumor stem cell research, leukemia stem cell research has not only important theoretical significance, but also clinical application potential. The survival and development of stem cells are directly impacted by their microenvironment. The research on leukemia stem cells and their microenvironment are now becoming a hot topic. The author presumes that stem cells are a population with heterogenecity and hierarchy; any single cell from the population is difficult to form a clone; the interaction between the leukemia stem cell and its microenvironment can be described by the concept of leukemia stem cell niche. In this article, the leukemia cell population with heterogenecity and hierarchy as well as leukemia stem cell niche were summarized and discussed.

A two-step method for the purification of blocking-type anti-human CD80 monoclonal antibody 4E5 from mouse ascites was developed using anion exchange and gel filtration in combination. The ascites was first purified by anion exchange after centrifugation and filtration. The experimental parameters of sample loading and elution were optimized. The optimized loading condition was pH 8.0,50 mmol/L Tris-HCl and satisfactory results were obtained using a 0~0.5mol/L NaCl step elution. The fraction containing the protein of interest was directly loaded on gel filtration column and eluted using a 20 mmol/L phosphate buffer at pH 7.2. The purity of the obtained monoclonal antibody was up to 95% with a recovery of 61%. The purity of mAb could efficiently inhibit the growth of Daudi cells. The amplification of the method was also studied using a Bio-Scale Q5 column and the result was satisfied.
