Objective To prepare mouse anti-human monoclonal antibodies against B7-H6 and to identify their biological characteristics. Methods The B7-H6 gene was cloned by RT-PCR from a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line ( A549 ) and then subcloned into the eukaryote expression vector pCMV3 to construct the recombinant vector pCMV3-B7-H6. The recombinant vector pCMV3-B7-H6 that was verified with enzyme digestion and gene sequencing was transfected into NIH/3T3 cells by electroporation. BALB/c mice were immunized with the successfully transfected cells named 2H8 through intraperitoneal injection. The monoclonal antibodies against human B7-H6 with the advantages of high affinity and specificity were pre-pared by using hybridoma technology. Western blot assay and flow cytometry analysis were used to identify the specificity of prepared monoclonal antibodies. Results The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector encoding B7-H6 was successfully constructed. Two hybridoma clones that stably secreted monoclonal anti-bodies against B7-H6 were screened out by using flow cytometry analysis and the monoclonal antibodies se-creted by them were belonged to IgG2a isotype. Specific reactions between B7-H6 and the secreted mono-clonal antibodies were confirmed by Western blot assay and flow cytometry analysis. Conclusion The mon-oclonal antibodies which recognized B7-H6 specifically were prepared successfully.

Objective To investigate the value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma. Methods MSCT images of 42 cases of colorectal carcinoma proved by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) in all cases, and curved planar reconstruction (CPR), shaded surface display (SSD), CT virtual colonoscopy (CTVC) and Raysum were performed in some of the cases. MSCT findings were analyzed in comparison with operative and pathologic features. Results The detecting rate and quatitative rate of colorectal carcinomas with MSCT were 100%,respectively.The accurate rates were 82.9%(29/35) and 100%(7/7) in detection of invasion of surrounding structures and metastasis in abdominal organs respectively,the sensitivity and specificity for detetion of lymph node metastasis were 71%(22/31) and 100% with MSCT imaging.Conclusion MSCT scan with multiform reconstruction techniques can make definite diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma, which is helpful for treatment plan.

Objective　To investigate the clinical significan ce of pelvic lymphadenectomy in advanced ovarian carcinoma. Methods　A total of 86 cases of advanced ovarian cancer with surgical treatment were assigned to 3 groups according to the size of residual focus and the performanc e of pelvic lymphadenectomy. Group A consisted of 42 cases with pelvic lymphaden ectomy and the diameter of residual focus smaller than 2 cm; Group B, 26 cases, underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy but with the residual focus larger than 2 cm; Group C con sisted of 18 cases without pelvic lymphadenectomy and the diameter of residual f ocus larger than 2 cm. All patients received CAP chemotherapy for 6 to 8 course of treatment and were in similar clinical stages and pathological grading. Results　The 5 year survival rate was 30.1% (13/42) in Group A, and 11.5% (3/26) in Group B with significant difference (P<0.05). Group C's 5 year survival rate was 11.1%(2/18). No significant difference was found betwee n Group B and C. Conclusion　Application of pelvic lymphadenecto my on those with residual focus less than 2 cm can apparently improve the patien ts' survival rate. But when the diameter of the focus is larger than 2 cm, pelvi c lymphadenectomy is not necessary.

Objective In order to investigate the relationship between EB virus superinfection and HBV or HCV persistent .Methods 16 cases of EBV with superinfected HBV or HCV as experimental group and 16 HBV or HCV infected patients without EBV infection with the similar clinical symptoms and blood test results,as control group,both were followed up for one year. Results The disease course of experimental group was longer than the control group(203 19?168 29 days vs 64 63?56 62 days,(P

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a noninfectious inflammatory response in nasal mucosa caused by allergens, which is contacted by a specific individual. The immune imbalance of Th1/Th2 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AR. In?terleukin (IL)-33, the novel cytokine of IL-1 family, is an important regulatory factor of allergic diseases, autoimmune diseas?es and various inflammatory diseases. IL-33 is a kind of alarm, which is mainly secreted and released by damaged tissues and cells, especially impaired epithelial cells and endothelial cells. IL-33 binding to its receptor ST2L can activate a variety of immune cells to produce Th2 cytokines, precipitating and maintaining Th2 polarization, increasing AR immune inflamma?tion, which is the new target of AR in research and treatment. In this article, we have done a brief overview for the biological functions of IL-33 and its receptor ST2L and the research progress in the AR.

Objective To compare the mental health among students of the Han,Y i,Ham,Dai,Lahu and Wa nationalities in Pu 'er Health school and provide the basis for mental health education of minorities.Methods A total of 2894 students of grade one and two,which are the Han,Yi,Hani,Dai,Lahu and Wa nationalities of Puer health school in Yunnan Provinc,were tested with SCL-90.And then an analysis was carried out by the characteristics among different nationalities on mental health.Results ①The psychological problem's ratio of minorities in Health school students was 40.3％.Detection rate of psychological problems in descending order is Wa 48 (55.8％),Dai 75 (41.4％),Yi 258 (41.0％),Hani,182 (40.2％),Han 557 (39.1％) and Lahu 46 (38.3％).The factor scores in descending order were obsessive-compulsive (38.6％),interpersonal sensitivity (33.2％),phobic anxiety (27.5％),hostility (25.3％),depression (23.6％),anxiety (22.4％),paranoid ideation (21.9％),psychotism (17.4％) and somatization (13.7％).②The ratio of psychological problems among different nationalities had shown significant differences (P＜0.05,P＜0.01) except for hostility factor.③In SCL-90,the scores of minority medical school students were all higher than those in the national youth norm.There existed significant differences among the most factor scores of SCL-90 (P＜0.01,P＜0.05).④The mental health of Wa was the worst.While,the mental health of Yi and Lahu were better than other ethnic groups.Conclusion The mental health of minorities medical school students is not optimistic.Therefore,the mental health education should be strengthened in the minority medical school students.

Objective To investigate the expression of glucocorticoid receptor ( GR) ? and ? in cultured human keratinocytes ( HaCaT cells) with treatment of dexamethasone ( Dex) and after withdrawal. Methods The mRNA and protein expressions of GR? and GR? in HaCaT cells after the treatment of Dex ( 10 -6mol/L) for 24 and 48 h and in 24,48 and 72 h after withdrawal of Dex were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot analysis respectively. The intracellular distribution of GR? and ? was examined by immunofluorescence. Results In 24 or 48 h after Dex treatment,the expressions of GR? at mRNA and protein levels were reduced in a time-dependent manner ( P

Objective To explore the effect of phenol oxidase antigen on liver pathologic change in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum. Methods 42d-aged adult worms were incubated in RPMI 1640 containing 0.05% sodium phenobarbital for 8 h. The worms were washed three times with PBS (pH 6.8) and homogenized with a Teflon pestle. The homogenate was then centrifuged at 3000 g for 20 min at 4 ℃. Supernatant fractions containing phenol oxidase (PO) were analyzed by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The rude antigen of PO was obtained by cutting the corresponding gel of PO activities. Three groups were set up to observe whether PO could induce protective immunity: experiment group, adjuvant control group and water control group. On day 42 post infection with (40?1) cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum, the mice were sacrificed to observe liver pathologic changes. Results The liver surface of PO immunized group was rather smooth and the liver color was slightly gray. A few pale nods were seen indistinctly but not clearly. Necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were not clear. There were many immature eggs without granuloma reaction. The mean diameter and area of the granuloma in the experiment group were less than those in the control group. There were significant differences among the 3 groups (P
