This study examined whether 1-methyl-tryptophan [1-MT, an indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor] could reduce CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) proliferation and improve the anti-tumor efficacy of dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with tumor cell lysate in the mice bearing pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The models of pancreatic adenocarcinoma were established in C57BL/6 mice by subcutaneous injection of Pan02 cells. Eight mice which were subcutaneously injected with PBS served as control. The expression of IDO was determined in tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) and spleens of the murine pancreatic adenocarcinoma models. The prevalence of Tregs was measured in the TDLNs and spleens before and after 1-MT administration. The dendritic cells were pulsed with tumor cell lysate for preparing DC vaccine. The DC vaccine, as a single agent or in combination with 1-MT, was administered to pancreatic adenocarcinoma mice. The anti-tumor efficacy was determined after different treatments by regular observation of tumor size. The results showed that the levels of IDO mRNA and protein in tumor-bearing mice were significantly higher than those in the normal control mice. The percentage of Tregs in the spleen and TDLNs was also higer in tumor-bearing mice than in normal control mice (P<0.05). Foxp3 expression was significantly lower in the TDLNs and spleens of tumor-bearing mice administrated with 1-MT than that in normal control mice. Furthemore, in the mice that were administered 1-MT plus DC vaccine, the tumor was increased more slowly than in mice treated with DC vaccine or 1-MT alone, or PBS on day 36 (P<0.01). Our results indicated that 1-MT may enhance anti-tumor efficacy of dendritic cells pulsed with tumor cell lysate by downregulating the percentage of Tregs.

Objective: To biomechanically compare the initial stability of two cervical interbody cages with different surfaces on human specimens.Methods: Flexibility of twenty-three cervical motion segments (two groups) were tested in axial rotation, flexion/extension and lateral bending, intact and after implantation of a cervical interbody fusion cage (SynCage-C Curved, SynCage-C Wedged). An implant pullout concluded testing. Changes in range of motion (ROM) were analyzed.Results: Both cages were effective at reducing ROM in all directions, with no significant differences in effacency. The pullout force differed significantly between the two cages, the SynCage Curved being higher. Conclusion: Differences of surfaces of the two cages don't affect their initial stability. The cage with a better contoured surface had a higher pullout force.

Objective To observe the protective effect of gradual ischemic postconditioning (IP) capable of improving reperfusion on reperfusion injury in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEAMl) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI).Methods 102 in-patients with STEAMI undergoing PPCI in the Department of Cardiology in the First People's Hospital of Kunshan City Affiliated to Jiangsu University from February 2011 to August 2014 were enrolled in this study. They were divided into three groups by a random number table: IP group (32 cases), gradual IP group (30 cases) and routine reperfusion group (40 cases). In IP group, after the opening of the infarction related blood vessel, ischemic postconditioning within the first minute of arterial reperfusion was made through three episodes of 1 minute inflation and 1 minute pressure withdrawn of an angioplasty balloon, and then persistent reperfusion was carried out. In the gradual IP group, the patients received three times of gradual angioplasty balloon inflation and denation, 1 minute/1minute, 30 seconds/30 seconds and 15 seconds/15 seconds respectively, presenting the gradual change of IP time. In the routine reperfusion group, after the opening of blocked blood vessel, the patients underwent routine PCI to persistently recover the coronary artery blood supply. The changes of related lead ST segment regression (Sum-STR), incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia, corrected thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) franle count (CTFC), peaks of MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and frequency of adverse events in follow-up period were compared among the three groups.Results The baseline characteristics were comparable in three groups. The incidence of ventricular premature beats was significantly lower in gradual IP group than that in routine reperfusion group [30.0% (9/30) vs. 55.0% (22/40),P < 0.05], and although theincidence of ventricular premature beats was lower in IP group than that in routine reperfusion group [34.4% (11/32) vs. 55.0% (22/40)], no statistically significant difference was found (P > 0.05). The incidence of ventricular tachycardia was significantly lower in IP and gradual IP groups than that in routine reperfusion group [15.6% (5/32), 13.3% (4/30) vs. 40.0% (16/40), bothP < 0.05]. The incidences of ventricular fibrillation, bradyarrhythmia and sinus arrest were lower in IP group and gradual IP group than those in routine reperfusion group, but no statistically significant differences were found (allP > 0.05). In IP group and gradual IP group, the Sum-STR incidence, CTFC, CK-MB peaks were lower than those of routine reperfusion group [Sum-STR: (56.7±18.3)%, (57.3±21.5)% vs. (44.6±21.6)%; CTFC: 25.47±5.37, 24.46±6.41 vs. 31.62±7.56; CK-MB peaks (U/L): 126.3±78.5, 121.6±82.5 vs. 147.4±72.5; allP < 0.05], the effect of gradual IP group being the best among the three groups. The levels of LVEF were slightly higher in IP and gradual IP groups than the level in routine reperfusion group (0.507±0.042, 0.511±0.062 vs. 0.497±0.062), but no statistically significant difference was found (bothP > 0.05). In routine reperfusion group, one patient died because the ventricular fibrillation could not be corrected and another one died of no-reflow during operation. Each group had 1 patient died during the 4 weeks of follow-up after operation, in the routine reperfusion group, one died of refractory heart failure, and the cause of death of other two patients, one in IP group and another in gradual IP group, was considered due to subacute thrombosis in stent. Major bleeding events were not found in each group.Conclusion Gradual IP can ameliorate myocardial reperfusion injury more significantly in patients with STEAMI undergoing PPCI.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical application of antimicrobial agents and give corresponding analysis.METHODS Totally 1453 cases from Dec 2005 to Jan 2006 were investigated retrospectively according to questionaire,and the usage of antibiotics was analyzed according to the standards.RESULTS Among 1453 cases,1155 cases used antibiotic and accounted for 79.5%,of which 47.3% cases were for single-drug therapy,44.1% cases for dual-drug therapy,7.4% cases were for tri-drug therapy and 1.2% cases for more than four kinds drugs.The top five departments in usage amount of antibiotics were stomatology,burn,surgery,pediatrics and respiratory departments.The most common antibiotics were cephalosporins,nitromidazole and catastaltica containing enzymes.The main irrational application of antibiotics included medication without indication,using high standard medicine and illogicality course of treatment and so on.CONCLUSIONS The application of antibiotics in internal medicine still has some irrational phenomenon,therefore,the training of correlated knowledge and regulations should be strengthened.

A hybrid segmentation algorithm is proposed for automatic segmentation of blood cell images based on adaptive multi-scale thresholding and seeded region growing techniques. Firstly, an adaptive and scale space filter (ASSF) is applied to image histogram and a scale space image is built. According to the properties of the scale space image, proper thresholds can be obtained to separate the nucleus from the original image and the white blood cells are located. Secondly, the local color similarity and global morphological criteria constrain seeded region growing in order to finish the segmentation of the cytoplasm. The detection accuracy of white blood cell is 98% and the segmentation accuracy based on the subjective evaluation is 93%. Test shows that this algorithm is effective for automatic segmentation of white blood cells.
