Objective:To investigate the role of blockade of CD40 ligand-CD40 costimulatory pathway by anti-CD40L mAb on T lymphocytes typing and cytokines, and provide the experimental clues of inducing donor-specific T cell anergy.Methods:To monitor primary MLR, C57BL/6 H-2b spleen T cells were isolated as responder cells, and BALB/C H-2d spleen cell as stimulator cells. Anti-CD40L mAb was added to primary MLR cultures(termed anti-CD40L mAb group), and in control group(no anti-CD40L mAb). Incubated for 7 days, the cells responsiveness rates were detected by 3 H-TdR methods at the indicated time points, and supernatants were assayed for IFN-?,IL-2,IL-4,IL-10 cytokines levels by commercial ELISA kits. Day 5 MLR-cultured cells were assessed for the expressions of CD4, CD8, CD25, CD69, CD40L and CD45RA with flow cytometry(FCM).Cells proliferation for 5 days and cytokines in secondary MLR were assayed according above-mentioned method.Results:Blockade of the CD40-CD40L pathway by anti-CD40L mAb can induce the hyporesponsiveness to alloantigen in primary and secondary MLR culture. In primary MLR culture, the expressions of CD4 +T and CD8 +T cells and CD4 +CD25 +T, CD4 +CD69 +T, CD4 +CD40L +T, CD8 +CD25 +T and CD8 +CD69 +T cells in anti-CD40L mAb group were lower than that in control group ( P 0.05).The expression of CD4 +CD45RA + T in anti-CD40L mAb-cultured group was higher than that in control group( P

【Objective】To observe the hemorrheological changes in lacunar cerebral infarction(LCI) patients with arteriopathy of middle and small arteries.【Methods】The hemorrheological changes of cerebral arteries in 85 LCI patients without arteriopathy of large artery confirmed by cervical vessels color ultrasonography and magnetic resonance image(MRI)were observed by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography(TCD).The correlation of the hemorrheological changes with age and blood pressure(BP) of arteries was investigated.The above indexes were compared with those in 25 healthy volunteers confirmed by encephalography in the same age group.【Results】The mean blood flow rates of cerebral middle,anterior and posterior artery in LCI patients were(62.09?16.90)cm?s~(-1),(50.42?13.11)(cm?s~(-1),)and(32.33?7.55)cm?s~(-1) respectively,lower than(69.65?19.20)cm?s~(-1),(57.75?16.75)cm?s~(-1),and(38.75?8.81)cm?s~(1) respectively in the healthy volunteers(P0.05).【Conclusion】The arteriopathy of small artery in LCI patients can cause the mild decrease of blood flow rate and the increase of pulsating index.There exists a correlation of pulsating index with age and arterial blood pressure.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristic and prognosis of nosocomial infection in children patients with malignances during deficiency stage of neutropenia. METHODS The clinical characteristic of infections and efficiency of antibiotics were analyzed retrospectively in 174 malignances children with nosocomial infection from Jan 2000 to Jun 2005. RESULTS The incidence rate of nosocomial infection in children patients with malignances during deficiency stage of neutropenia was 67.4%.Nosocomial infection was occurred mainly in the respiratory tract,oral cavity,blood,skin,and intestinal tract of patients.The main pathogens were bacteria(86.8%),and fungal infection was 13.2%.The Gram-negative bacilli were relatively sensitive to imipenem,amikacin,ceftazidine,piperacillin/tazobactam,and ticarcillin/clavulanic acid.The Gram positive cocci were sensitive to vancomycin,imipenem,meropenem,ampicillin/sulbactam,ciprofloxcin and clindamycin.The death rate due to nosocomial infection was 44.4%. CONCLUSIONS There is higher incidence of nosocomial infection in children patients with malignances during the neutropenia stage.Good nursing,intestines disinfection,the usage of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor,a reasonable usage of antibiotics and preventing the fungal infection are good to control nosocomial infection in children malignances.

AIM: To investigate the effects of nitric oxide(NO) and caspase-3 on dopamine-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells. METHODS: Flow cytometric assay was used to quantify the apoptotic cells. The morphological of apoptotic cells was evaluated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL). Nitrite was quantified by Griess reaction. Inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) mRNA was identified by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). Caspase-3 activity was determined by fluorescent spectrofluorometer. RESULTS: Dopamine induced PC12 cells apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner (0.15-0.60 mmol/L), with positive TUNEL staining. During the development of apoptosis, the expression of iNOS mRNA and the levels of NO increased markedly, so did caspase-3 activity(P

Objective To evaluate the anti-proliferation and anti-angiogenesis effect of curcumin-K30 solid dispersion (Cur-K30) on tumors in vivo. Methods Growth inhibition rates of the tumor cells was measured with MTT method. Tumor inhibition was detected by tumors transplanted subcutaneously in mice treated with Cur-K30 ［50， 100， and 200 mg/(kg·d)］. The expressions of CD34 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were assessed by immunohistochemical study, and analyzed by Imageproplus software. Results Cur-K30 had inhibitory effect on different tumor cell lines in a dose dependent manner with IC50 values from 6.6 to 12.12 μg/mL. The in vivo study showed that the inhibitory rates of the 200 mg/(kg·d) Cur-K30 group on H22, B16, and SW480 were 43.2%, 53.1%, and 59.8%, respectively, which were all much higher than the inhibitory rates of curcumin suspension group with the same dose. Compared with the control group， the expression of CD34 and VEGF in SW480 tumors was down-regulated in the 200 mg/(kg·d) Cur-K30 group (P<0.01). Conclusion The proliferation inhibition of Cur-K30 is higher than curcumin in vivo， and the most significant effect is obtained in SW480 tumors transplanted subcutaneously in nude mice. Down-regulation of VEGF and decreased microvascular density may contribute to the anti-tumor effect of Cur-K30.

OBJECTIVE To investigate DNA hypermethylation of human 8-hydroxyguanine glycosy-lase(hOGG1 )gene and and the level of oxidative stress and DNA oxidative damage relations with arse-nic poisoning.METHODS In ende mic coal-pollution-borne arsenism area,Xinren county,Guizhou Province,according to the diagnostic criteria of ende mic arsenism(WS /T21 1 -2001 ),207 people with ende mic arsenism were selected and divided into four groups(The arsenic exposure group:46 cases, mild arsenism group:46 cases,moderate arsenism group:60 cases and severe arsenism group:55 cases).64 residents were selected as controls in a village about 12 km away fro m the ende mic arsenism area.With the informed consent principle,peripheral blood of all respondents was collected in order to analyze DNA methylation.Methylation-specific poly merase chain reaction were respectively performed to analyze hOGG1 Hypermethylation in arsenism respondents.Che mical methods were performed on the activity of super oxide dis mutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),while the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA)in the blood of patients were measured,and the contents of 8-hydroxy-2′-deox-yguanine(8-OHdG)urine of patients were measured and analysed.On the basis of methylation status are divided into hOGG1 gene methylation group (34 cases)and hOGG1 gene no methylation group (237cases).Analysis was performd on hOGG1 gene DNA methylation and the relationship between oxi-dative stress and arsenic poisoning.RESULTS The positive rates of hypermethylation of hOGG1 were associated with the degree of arsenic poisonin (co mpared with control group,χ2 =23.916,P <0.05, Co mpared with the Ende mic area normal group,χ2 =12.039,P <0.05 ).Co mparing with negative group,SOD〔(85 ±25)kU·L -1 〕,GSH-Px〔(70 ±26)kU·L -1 〕activity and 8-OHdG 〔(22.5 ±6.8)μg·L -1 〕contents were lower〔(1 18 ±41 )kU·L -1 ,(171 ±56)kU·L -1 ,(28.4 ±6.5)μg·L -1 ,P <0.05)〕in positive group.There was no significant difference between the MDA content(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Coal arsenic exposure can cause hOGG1 gene high methylation and oxidation and anti-oxidation system imbalance,causing DNA oxidative damage,it is one of the reasons to pro mote the develop ment of arsenic poisoning occurred.
