Superantigens are potent activators of T cells,causing rapid and massive proliferation of T cells and superantigen-dependent-cell-mediated cytotoxicity with extremely low doses.However such antitumor effects lack selectivity.Thus with the methods including monoclonal antibody targeting or binding superantigens to the surface of tumor cells as well as genetic engineering,scientists have done lots of work on targeted therapy of malignancies with superantigen.

Objective To investigate the use of ERCP in the diagnosis and treatment of children with disease of biliary tract and pancreas.Methods Retrospectively analyze of the clinical data and figures of ERCP treatment for ten cases of disease of biliary tract and pancreas from March to August 2008 in Ruijin Hospital.Results Ten patients were successfully treated by ERCP,and there were no serious complications.Conclusion ERCP is a safe and effective method in the diagnosis and treatment of children with disease of biliary tract and pancreas.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is activated trypsin-induced pancreatic and its peripheral tissue inflammation caused by their own digestion.The activation in advance of trypsinogen and the inflammation cascade in pancreatic acinar cells are thought to be a key mechanism of the onset and development of AP.Autophagy pathway acting as Ⅱ type of programmed cell death occurs in the early pathological course of AP,blockade of which contributes to aggravating necrosis of acinar cells in AP.This article mainly discussed the recent advances in the understanding of autophagy researches and its function in the mechanism of AP.

AIM:To investigate the relationship between serum ghrelin level and body composition including bone mineral content (BMC),fat mass(FM) & lean mass(LM) in premenopausal women with different thyroid functional status.METHODS:We measured the serum ghrelin levels by radioimmunoassay (RIA),the serum levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4) and sensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone (sTSH) by chemiluminescene immune assay.The total body composition including total BMC,FM and LM was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in 71 premenopausal women with different thyroid functional status (33 hyperthyroidism,18 hypothyroidism and 20 normal subjects).RESULTS:(1) The level of serum ghrelin in patients with hyperthyroidism was significantly lower than that in patients with hypothyroidism (P0.05).The serum ghrelin level was correlated negatively with FT3(r=-0.318,P0.05).CONCLUSION:The serum ghrelin level in the premenopausal women with different thyroid functional status may correlate with the total BMC,LM and body weight.

BACKGROUND: Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) current plays an important role in regulating heart spontaneous pulsation.OBJECTIVE: To observe target gene expression and electrophysiological characteristics of pig bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transfected with hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 2 (HCN2) gene recombinant adenovirus.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Cell-gene in vitro study was performed at the Laboratory of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery,Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from July 2007 to March 2008.MATERIALS: Yorkshire pig was supplied by Animal Institute, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. HCN2 plasmid was presented by Professor Dario DiFrancesco from Italy. Recombinant adenovirus Ad.HCN2 was constructed and stored using Ad5 in this laboratory.METHODS: Pig BMSCs were isolated with combination of gradient centrifugation of Percoll and adherent treatment in vitro.Ad.HCN2 was transfected at multiplicity of infection=50. We also set non-transfection and transfected Ad.Null groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of HCN2 mRNA was detected with RT-PCR, and expression of HCN2 channel protein was examined with immunofluorescent staining. Electrophysiology of HCN2 channel protein was measured with whole-cell patch clamp.RESULTS: No amplified fragments were found in the non-transfection and transfected Ad.Null groups, but amplified fragments were determined at 250-500 bp following Ad.HCN2 amplification, which was the same as plasmid carrying HCN2 gene. Staining strength of cell nuclei following transfection was significantly weaken compared with cell membrane and plasma, which showed identical distribution as HCN2 protein. No HCN2 protein was detected in the non-transfection and transfected Ad.Null groups.Pacemaker current could be recorded with a whole-cell patch clamp. It was fully activated around -140 mV with an activation threshold of -60 mV, presenting voltage dependence. CsCI (4 mmol/L) reversibly blocked the inward currents. No pacemaker current was detected in the non-transfection and transfected Ad.Null groups.CONCLUSION: The HCN2 recombinant adenovirus carrier was transferred into serial subcultivation porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. HCN2 channel protein has been expressing. Pacemaker current could be recorded with a whole-cell patch clamp.

Objective To compare the dosimetric difference between RapidArc and fixed gantry angle dynamic intensity modulated radiotherapy (dIMRT) in developing the pre-operative radiotherapy for rectal cancer patients.Methods Two techniques,RapidArc and dIMRT,were used respectively to develop the synchronous intensity modulated plans for 10 stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ rectal cancer patients at the dose of gross tumor volume (GTV) of 50.6 Gy divided into 22 fractions and planning target volume (PTV) of 41.8 Gy divided into 22 fractions.Both plans satisfied the condition of 95% of PTV covered by 41.8 Gy.The dose-volume histogram data,isodose distribution,monitor units,and treatment time were compared.Results The two kinds of dose volume histogram (DVH) developed by these two techniques were almost the same.The conformal indexes of GTV and PTV by RapidArc were better than those by dIMRT (t =7.643,8.226 ,P < 0.05),while the homogeneity of target volume by dIMRT was better (t =-10.065,-4.235 ,P <0.05).The dose of rectum and small bowel planned by RapidArc was significantly lower than that by dIMRT (t =2.781 ,P <0.05).There were no significant differences in the mean doses of bladder and femoral head between these two techniques.The mean monitor units of RapidArc was 475.5,fewer by 48.5% in comparison with that by the dIMRT (924.6).The treatment mean time by RapidArc was 1.2min,shorter by 79.5% in comparison with that by dIMRT (5.58 min).Conclusions There is no significant dosimetric difference between the two plans of RapidArc and dIMRT.Compared with dIMRT,RapidArc achieves equal target coverage and organs at risk(OAR) sparing while using fewer monitor units and less time during radiotherapy for patient with rectal cancer.
