Objective To study the effect of immature dendritic cells (imDC) transfusion in combination with bone marrow transplantation (BMT) on rat kidney allograft survival and its possible mechanism. Methods Renal allograft from DA rat was transplanted to Lewis rat. Forty recipient rats were randomized into 5 groups: (1) Negative control group; (2) imDC group: Lewis rats accepted imDC transfusion in the amount of 2? 107 only; (3) BMT group: Lewis rats accepted bone marrow transplantation in the amount of 2?108 only; (4) imDC + BMT group: Lewis rats accepted both imDC and BMC; (5)Third party donor group: Lewis rats accepted renal allograft from Wistar rats. One-way MLR was performed to assay splenic cell proliferation to allogeneic T cells. Exogenous IL-2 was added at the outset of another group as the former one-way MLR. Normal Lewis rat accepted splenic cells from tolerant rat in the amount of 1?108. DTH was assayed in the trans-tolerance model. Cells from spleen and thymus were harvested from recipient rats for detecting chimerism by flow cytometry. Results The median survival time (MST) of the renal allografts was (7. 12 ? 1. 25) days in negative control group, (24. 36 ? 3. 20)days in imDCs group and (7. 87 ? 2. 10)days in BMT group, respectively. In combined group, the MST was prolonged to (80. 75 ? 16. 88)days, which had significant difference as compared with the former three groups (P

Objective To detect the expression of microRNA(miRNAs)in the late stage terminal hindgut de-velopment in fetal rats.Methods Twenty -four female rats were randomly divided into 2 groups.They were matched in proportion of male and female 21 .The experimental rats(n =1 2)received 1 0 g/L ethylenethiourea (1 25 mg/kg)by gavage on gestational day 1 1 ,and the control rats (n =1 2)received same amount of distilled water.The fetal rats were obtained by caesarean section on the gestational day 1 6 in each group.One centimeter rectum was taken out from 2 similar weight fetal rats for extracting total RNA by Trizol method.There were 24 fetal rats in each group.Chip hybri-dization was conducted after Poly(A)and biotin added to the RNA.Then,the chip was washed and dyed,and scanned thereafter.According to the differences in the expression profile of miRNAs and target gene analysis results,the miRNAs probably regulating the key gene of hindgut development was selected for target genes expression analysis.Results Compared with control group,expressions of 1 1 1 miRNAs in terminal hindgut of experimental group were up -regulated on the gestational day 1 6,and 1 1 7 miRNAs were down -regulated.Ten miRNAs of biggest differential expression be-tween them were selected for target genes prediction,pathway analysis,and Gene Ontology analysis.The results showed that some genes were closely related to rat fetus terminal hindgut growth and development,such as Shh,Hoxd13,and so on.According to the differential expression of miRNAs and target genes analysis,miR -1 93 might have an important role in the Hoxd13 gene for anorectal development.Real -Time PCR and Western blot showed that the expression of Hoxd13 and its protein level were significantly decreased when miR -1 93 highly expressed in rat intestinal epithelial cells,and the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group(1 .00 ±0.1 2 vs 0.71 ±0.1 0) (0.88 ±0.06 vs 0.75 ±0.08)(t =3.329,3.1 30;P =0.029,0.01 1 ).Conclusions miRNAs probably have an im-portant regulatory role in their target gene expression in terminal hindgut development of fetal rats,and miR -1 93 can significantly inhibit the expression of Hoxd13 gene in rat intestinal epithelial cells.

Objective: To discuss the methods and items for clinical linear accelerator (Clinac) and 3D treatment planning system (TPS)/intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) system based on 2D ionization chambers array(2D-ICA). Methods: The 2D-I-CA laid on the anthropomorphic phantom with five centimeters and which was put on another five centimeters same phantom.All data have gained as following conditions: the SAD is 100 cm and the SSD is 90 cm; the fields' size are 2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm,15 cm ,20 cm respectively and 2 cm×10 cm ,5 cm×20 cm ,20 cm×5 cm, MU=100 cGy;the Clinae and TPS were verified by some special items for checking their dose accuracy, such as, square fields, rectangular fields, and rectangular fields with 600 wedge or 300 wedge, which were measured for verification their flatness and symmetry. And some measured items were only for checking multileaf collimator (MLC) and TPS calculated accuracy. So, we developed moveable MLC fields and IMRT plans and compound fields to evaluate leafs side effects and leafs end effects and transmission effects. Results: The flatness value of square and rectangular fields was 100.07%～102.66%,and their symmetry value was 0.10%～1.49%; and these irradiate fields' size were compared with light fields' sizes, which the X direction deviation was-1.5%～0.7% ,the Y direction deviation was-1.4%～1.0%,and their average value was-0.47%.To verify calculated data for TPS ,we developed Gamma value and ab-solute value (<4%)to evaluate their accuracy. For square and rect-angular fields, The Gamma value was 92.02%～96.35%.In com-pound fields Which were composed with two half fields (X1 = 5 cm, X2 =0 cm, Y= 10 cm and X1 = 0 cm,X2 = 5 cm, Y=10 cm),the maximum deviation was about 5%.And five fields (2 cm×10 cm) composed one fields (10 cm×10 cm),the maximum deviation was about 10% in the joint place. The Gamma value of one fields was 96.6%, another was 93.2% in the moveable fields. Conclusions: To dollop 2D ionization chambers array to verify the dose for Clinac and TPS, it was so quick and simple, and it was important that it bring more accurate dose evaluation and more clinical quality assurance and quality control methods.

In order to investigate the genetic basis of morphological variation of tetraploid plantlets of Atractylodes macrocephala, diploid plantlets were taken as experimental material, sterile filtration colchicine was used to soak 0.5-1.0 cm long buds. The difference between morphology and stomatal of diploid and tetraploid of A. macrocephala was compared, and genome polymorphism was explored by AFLP. The results showed that the buds dipped in 0.1% colchicine solution for 36 h was optimal conditions to induce tetraploid of A. macrocephala with induction rate of 32.0%. Morphological indexes such as leaf area index, leaf length and width, the density of stomas and the number of chloroplast of tetraploid were distinctly different from diploid. Four hundred and fifty-one bands ranging with 80-500 bp were amplified with 24 pairs of primers, the rate of polymorphism was 32.59%. These amplification sites of diploid were different from tetraploid of A. macrocephala, and the differences in morphology of them were reflected in the DNA polymorphism.

Measurement of cervical lordosis is the basic method for evaluating cervical function, and important reference for determine treatment decision. However, how to choose appropriate measurement in accordance with different situation, as well as the relationship among these methods is not clear. An increasing number of studies suggested that different measurements could directly affect the judgment of cervical lordosis. Therefore, comparative study of cervical vertebrae plays an important role in clinical treatment for cervical spondylosis under different cervical curvature conditions.
