Objective To understand the differences in killing ability and mechanism of human mononuclear macrophages and neutrophils against Leptospira interrogans.Methods Human THP-1 and HL-60 cell lines were respectively pretreated with PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) and ATRA (all-trans retinoic acid) to induce their differentiation into macrophages and neutrophils.Confocal microscopy was used to detect the changes in total ROS (reactive oxygen species) and NO (nitric oxide) levels as well as free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in THP-1 monocyte-derived macrophages and HL-60 cell-derived neutrophils after infection with Leptospira interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Lai strain Lai.Fluorospectrophotometry was applied to analyze the differences in killing ability between THP-1 monocyte-derived macrophages and HL-60 cell-derived neutrophils against intracellular leptospires before and after treatment with total ROS and NO inhibitors and intracellular free Ca2+ chelator.Results The total ROS and NO levels and [Ca2+]i in THP-1 monocyte-derived macrophages and HL-60 cell-derived neutrophils were significantly increased after infection with the spirochete (P<0.05).Moreover,the total ROS and NO levels and [Ca2+]i in the former were significantly higher than those in the latter (P<0.05).The THP-1 monocyte-derived macrophages had stronger killing ability against intracellular leptospires than the HL-60 cell-derived neutrophils (P<0.05).Inhibiting total intracellular ROS,NO or free Ca2+ could result in decreased killing ability of THP-1 monocyte-derived macrophages against intracellular leptospires,but not affect the killing ability of HL-60 cell-derived neutrophils.Conclusion Mononuclear macrophages rather than neutrophils act as the main phagocytes eliminating Leptospira interrogans.High levels of total intracellular ROS,NO and free Ca2+ are closely associated with the ability of mononuclear macrophages to kill Leptospira interrogans.

Objective To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in superficial lymphadenopathy. Methods Ninty-four superficial enlarged lymph nodes were studied by 2-dimensional, color Doppler ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Then the contrast-enhanced images were analyzed by Philips Q-LAB software. All the results were compared with pathological diagnosis. Results For the 94 superficial lymph nodes examined,44 were benign,33 were metastases and 17 were lymphomas. The sensitivity, specificity,and accuracy of contrast-enhanced images were 84% ,74% and 790//oo respectively. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination showed intense homogeneous enhancement in 39 of 44 benign lymph nodes; high or low homogeneous enhancement in 25 of 33 and 7 of 33 in metastases respectively;intense homogeneous, and scarce enhancement in 6 of 17 and 9 of 17 in lymphomas respectively. Time-intensity curves showed that compared with metastasis lymph nodes and lymphomas, benign lymph nodes had higher peak intensity and larger area under the curve (P<0.01). Conclusions The diagnosis accuracy was significant increased when contrast-enhanced ultrasound was test against conventional ultrasound. The character of contrast agent enhancement and Q-LAB time-intensity curves provide valuable diagnosis information for differential diagnosis of benign,metastasis lymph nodes and lymphomas.
