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 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 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.

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.

A cross-section study was designed to investigate clinical utility of lipid measures for prediction of insulin resistance(IR).A total of 793 healthy volunteers were divided to IR group or non-IR group based on the value of HOMA-IR.Area under receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)found that TG/HDL-C was more related with IR in comparison with other lipid ratios,and could be used as a measure in predicting IR.

Objective To evaluate clinical use of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR) method in low-dose scan on children temporal bone by comparison of radiation dose delivered by GE Discovert HD CT 750 scan and GE Lightspeed VCT64 scan.Method Sixty patients with congenital deafness were divided into two groups according to gender,age (each N =30).Group a received low-dose CT scan on temporal bone by GE Discovery HDCT 750 (preset NI =12),and the original images were reconstructed with ASiR (weighted value =40％).Group B received CT scan by GE Lightspeed VCT 64 (preset NI =8),and the original images were reconstructed with filter back projection (FBP).Data were collected and analysed using the SPSS 18.0 software.Resultes The mean value of electric current of average tube and CTDIvol were significantly different between group A and B [(110.40 ± 21.72) mA vs.(168.56±24.36) mA,and (26.43 ±3.48) mGy vs.(39.66 ±4.17) mGy,respectively (t=-9.76,-3.31,P＜0.05)].The noise index was (33.13 ±2.68) in group A and (33.79 ±2.93) in group B respectively,and the results had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Subjective scores of the images were (4.06 ± 0.03) and (4.05 ± 0.03),with no statistical significance either (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions On a condition of achieving same image quality,CT scan program using GE Discovery HD CT 750 with 40％ ASiR reconstruction and 4 units NI value enhancement could effectively reduce radiation dose on children's temporal bone compared to FBP method using GE Lightspeed VCT 64.

Objective To investigate the possibility of plastic and cosmetic operation incorporating epicanthoplasty with the double-eyelid procedure in one stage to achieve a more subtle scar in epicanthus patients with single eyelid. Methods After designing incision line of the epicanthic flap, double-eyelid line and the lower eyelid incision curved line, we cut the medial canthus skin transversely to reach a new medial canthus point, incised the part of front angle of medial palpebral ligamentum longitudinally and fixed the end point of front angle of medial palpebral ligamentum to nasal dorsum fascia firmly. Double eyelid operation was routinely performed to remove redundant small triangle skin as well as some patchy of orbicularis on the new medial canthus point. Along with eyelid edge about 1 to 2 mm to eyelash, the temporal side was cut with curved line till its disappearance by eyelid's "cat ear". The lower eyelid flap was separated downward and the superfluous flap and some patchy of orbicularis cut. The skin was su-tured to make postoperative scar hidden, blepharophimosis increased and the fold disappeared. Results 46 eyes (23 cases) were operated and satisfactory aesthetic results were obtained. Palpebral fissure was enlarged to 2 to 4 mm with epicanthic scar disappearance and formation of double-eyelid. Conclusions This is a simple and effective procedure with hidden epicanthic scar and the double-eyelid blepharoplasty could be performed simultaneously. Most patients receive satisfactory results during the 0.5 to 2 years' follow-up period except 2 cases with mild proliferation of epicanthus in half a year. It is especially suitable to correct the severe epicanthus palpebralis or epieanthus tarsalis.
