BACKGROUND: Cryoimmunology has been paid more attention in recent years, but the effect of cryoablation on cellular function has not been clearly understood, especially for the cellular apoptosis and dendritic cells.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether NCI-H446 lung cancer cells could activate bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) which stimulate lymphocytes to be cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs) to kill cancer cells?DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Cellular immunology experiment was performed at the Hematological Laboratory, Beijing Naval General Hospital, and Genetics Center of Military Medical Science Academy of the PLA between August 2002 and April 2003.MATERIALS: NCI-H446 cells were small lung cancer cells purchased from Shanghai Institute of Sciences.METHODS: Cultured lung cancer cells were cryo-treated and added to cultured DCs in the presence of naive lung cancer cells. Morphological changes of cancer cells were observed; mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and antitumor activity of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTLs) were also evaluated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphology of DCs and cell surface immunophenotype changes; MLR of cultured cells and cell apoptosis.RESULTS: ① of 51 patients,18 were followed-up for 6-12 months,2 for 13-18 months,and 8 for 19-24 months.② A total of 49 (96.1%) out of 51 patients preserved the eyeballs and the visual acuity improved to different degrees in 48 (94.1%) patients.③ After surgery,fungal infection recurred in 6 eyes (11.6%),4 of which were controlled by antifungal medication and 2 was enucleated because of uncontrolled endophthalmitis.Graft rejection was found in 18 (35.3%) eyes, 13 of which recovered transparent by medication and 5 received secondary PKP.Graft ulceration was present in 4 (7.84%) eyes, 3 of which were cured and the remaining one was re-grafted because of severe endothelial cell loss. Secondary glaucoma appeared in 7(13.7%) eyes,and the intraocular pressure was controlled medically and surgically.Complicated cataract occurred in 6 (11.8%) eyes,3 of which underwent cataract extraction. Most complications were successfully controlled.In the final follow-up period,45 (88.2%) grafts were transparent.CONCLUSION: Cryo-treated lung cancer cells exhibited cell lysis and membrane collapse, which activate bone marrow-derived DCs to kill cancer cells specifically.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic and open method in the treatment of gastric cancer radical surgery.Methods 1 1 0 patients who underwent radical surgery for gastric cancer were selected. According to its different operation method,they were divided into observation group and control group,55 cases in each group.The observation group received laparoscopic surgery,and the control group received open operation treat-ment.The general surgery situation,the C -reactive protein (CRP)levels at preoperation and postoperative 1 ,7,1 0d were compared in the two groups.Results The surgical incision length,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative bowel movements and postoperative hospital stay in the observation group were (24.6 ±3.7)cm,(99.9 ±31 .8)mL,(5.8 ± 2.7)d,(1 2.8 ±7.7)d respectively,which were significantly lower than (5.6 ±1 .4)cm,(61 .3 ±1 3.6)mL,(4.5 ± 0.7)d,(9.2 ±3.9)d in the control group(t =31 .472,5.289,3.1 94,2.398,all P <0.05),the number of the lymph node in the two groups had no significant difference(P >0.05).CRP level at 1 d preoperation,1 d postoperation,7d postoperation,1 0d postoperation of the control group were (1 8.21 ±3.67)mg/L,(42.96 ±7.28)mg/L,(22.88 ± 4.35)mg/L,(15.89 ±4.34)mg/L respectively,which of the observation group were (17.82 ±3.57)mg/L,(29.97 ± 4.58)mg/L,(1 6.01 ±3.1 6)mg/L,(8.65 ±1 .77)mg/L respectively,it had no significant difference between the two groups at preoperative 1 d (P >0.05 ),postoperative 1 d both elevated obviously,postoperative 7 d,1 0 d both significantly dropped than postoperative 1 d,and the differences between the two groups were significant (t =7.497, 6.521 ,8.339,all P <0.05).The incidence rate of complications was 5.45%(3 /55)in the observation group,which of the control group was 1 8.1 8%(1 0 /55),the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2 =6.371 ,P <0.05).Conclusion Compared with the traditional laparotomy,laparoscopic gastric cancer radical has mild trauma,rapid recovery,the effect is good,quite cure degree,which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

As the economic reformation goes on, the traditional culture and ethics anr chanllenged. Should we carry on the spirit of Betheune? The hospital, cultural development focuses on how to carry forward the spirit of Betheune. Acording to his experience, the author explained his view and put several points that we should notice in new situation. 1. Emancipate the mind and change the view; 2. Advocate the unselfish contribution combined with the policy of contribution considering oneself; 3. Requine the level of conbined with regulatiton.

Some of the clinical manifestation of primary immunodeficiency disease in children is similar with that of hematological system diseases in children.It would result into the change of one or multiple lines of blood cells, which would lead to infection or malignant tumors.To strengthen the awareness of the hematologic manifestations of immunodeficiency diseases will be beneficial for doctors in the diagnosis of diseases,judgment of complication and prog-nosis.

Objective:To compare the effect of curing polymyalgia rheumatica either by using both Biqi capsule and prednisone or by using prednisone alone. Methods: Thirty-nine patients of polymyalgia rheumatica were randomly divided into two groups, 18 patients in the treatment group treated with Biqi capsule and small dosage of prednisone; 21 patients in the control group treated with small dosage of prednisone. The therapeutic course was 12 weeks. The patients' symptoms of muscle ache, inflexibility in the morning and T-cell subsets determination (CD4, CD8)were observed and scores of clinical practice was made. Results: The respective total effective rate was 94.44% for the treatment group and 66.67% for the control group. There was distinctive difference in the scores for the treatment group and the control group in relieving the patients of the symptoms of polymyalgia rheumatica. The treatment group would help the patients of polymyalgia rheumatica to improve their immunity ability. Conclusion: The combination of Biqi capsule and prednisone can help to improve the effect of curing polymyalgia rheumatica.

Objective: To observe the therapeutical effect of intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) on pulmonary edema after seawater drowning in rabbits.Methods:Fourteen seawater lavage induced pulmonary edema New Zealand rabbits models were assigned to receive IPPV treatment.Blood gas analysis, pulmodynamics, hemodynamics status and serum tumor necrosis factor(TNF ?) were monitored at various time points.After 3 h ventilation rabbits of each group were killed to gain lung tissues for pathology examination, and lung lavage fluid was analyzed to count leukocytes.Results:PaO 2 significantly increased after the use of ventilation in pulmonary edema rabbits models ( P

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of microsurgical resection of large acoustic neurinoma via the suboccipital retrosigmoid approach.Methods Forty-nine patients with large acoustic neurinoma(≥4 cm) underwent microsurgical resection through suboccipital retrosigmoid approach.The craniotomy was performed by way of an unilateral S-shaped suboccipital incision.With microsurgical techniques the outmost layer of the arachnoid membrane was preserved in order to avoid damaging to the surrounding vital structures.The tumor was resected intracapsularly from the superior pole and the internal auditory meatus was finally opened.The last pieces of tumor were removed by sharp dissection from the facial nerve bidirectionally,and were resected cautiously in a piecemeal fashion.Results Of the 49 patients,45 patients(92%) received a total resection of the tumors,and 4 patients(8%) subtotal resection.No patients died.The facial nerve was preserved anatomically in 42 patients(86%) and functionally in 36 patients(73%).The acoustic nerve was preserved anatomically in 7 patients(14%) and functionally in 3 patients(6%).One patient experienced a postoperative haematoma,and a re-operation was required.No recurrence was seen in 37 patients during a follow-up for 6 months ～ 5 years(mean,2.8 years).These patients had recovered for normal work and daily activities.Conclusions Microsurgical operation through suboccipital retrosigmoid approach is a favorable treatment for large acoustic neurinomas.The procedure can improve the rate of total resection,decrease the morbidity and mortality,and effectively protect the function of the acoustic and facial nerves.

Objective To discuss the effective method for decreasing operative complications in acetabular fractures. Methods A retrospective analysis was done on 70 patients with acetabular fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation from June 1998 to June 2003 so as, in combination of follow up data, to investigate cause, mechanism, and effective preventive and therapeutic methods. Results Open reduction and internal fixation were effective methods for acetabular fractures but had too many complications especially in traumatic arthritis and femoral head avascular necrosis, to which we must pay much more attention. Conclusions Operative injury lessening and anatomical reduction are keys to decrease of operative complications. Anterior screw fixation through inguinal approach may be an effective method of decreasing operative injury and complications.

Objective To assess the influence of different methods of blood sampling on the results detected by instant glucose monitor.Methods We searched the following electronic databases CNKI and VIP(from 1995 to 2007).Five quasi-RCTs involving 305 participants were included,RevMan 4.2.10 was used for statistical analysis.Results There was significance in results between instant glucose monitor and auto-analyzer by finger massage and extrusion(WMD=-1.32,95%CI:-2.05 to-0.59,WMD-2.11,95%CI:-2.95 to-1.27,respectively),but no difference by natural outflow(WMD=-0.17,95%CI:-0.53 to 0.19).Conclusion There are influence on the blood glucose results by different methods of blood sampling,the natural blood outflow of fingers is the better way.
