Objective To establish a mouse model of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation,and using exogenous interleukin-7 receptor alpha (IL-7Rα) intervene mice aGVHD and analyse its possible mechanism.Methods The BALB/C (H-2d) female mice as recipients were grouped by rat: the irradiation group (group A),irradiation transplantation group (group B) and IL-7Rα in the intervention group (group C),each 10.ALL mice were accepted 9 Gy60Co total body irradiation.1×107 bone marrow cells and 2×107 spleen cells of donor C57BL/6 (H-2b) via the tail vein were infused to recipient mice.The signs of the recipient mice,hematopoietic functional recovery and survival time of change,and pathology,chimerism and cytokine levels in checkwere observed.Results Mice in A group after irradiation were gradually death,in group B and group C mice after transplantation had typical aGVHD symptoms,but lighter signs and a longer survival time of Group C than in group B.WBC count in Group C was +14 d (4.53± 0.21) ×109/L,+21 d (3.63±0.06) ×109/L,+28 d (4.31±0.04) ×109/L,was hematopoietic recovery compared with Group B [+14 d (1.81±0.05) ×109/L,+21 d (1.32±0.04) ×109/L,+28 d (1.76±0.04) ×109/L],the difference was statistically significant (t =0.237,0.108,0.359,P ＜ 0.05).The pathological results of liver,spleen,skin histopathology in group C were better than group B.Chimera implants,plasma IL-7 levels after transplant +7 d,concentration was significantly increased.IL-7 concentration in group C was +14 d (194.32±1.02) pg/ml,+21 d (131.63±1.54) pg/ml and in group B was +14 d (330.24±8.08) pg/ml,+21 d (184.09±2.05) pg/ml,the difference was statistically significant (t =1.590,1.285,P ＜0.05).Conclusion The stable aGVHD mouse model was established.In aGVHD early,plasma IL-7 levels were significantly increased.Exogenous IL-7Rαcan reduce the plasma IL-7 levels,thereby reducing the incidence of aGVHD after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

Objective To compare the effects between the impact of IL-7Rα,bacterial flagellin alone to the acute graft-versus-host disease and the combination of both,and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods The BALB/C (H-2d) female mice as recipients were divided into alone irradiation transplantation group (group A),IL-7Rα intervention group (group B),bacterial flagellin intervention group (group C),IL-7Rα combined with bacterial flagellin intervention group (group D),and 6 mice in each group.All mice were accepted 9 Gy 60Co total body irradiation,and 1×107 bone marrow cells and 2× 107 spleen cells of donors C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice were infused via the tail vein to recipient mice.The symptoms,signs,survival time and hematopoietic function recovery of the recipient mice were observed.Results Mice survival of group A was (22.5±2.30) d,30 d survival rate was 50.0 ％ (3/6),and aGVHD performances inculding the fatigue,anorexia,hair removal,arched,and so on appeared obviously.Survival of group B was (25.83±3.49) d,30 d survival rate was 33.3 ％ (2/6),aGVHD performances compared with group A was lighter.Survival of group C was (26.33±3.52) d,30 d survival rate was 33.3 ％ (2/6),also appeared aGVHD performance,which degree was same to the group B.survival of group D was (30.17±2.86) d,30 d survival rate was 66.7 ％ (4/6),aGVHD performances compared to the other three groups was lightest.The white blood cell count of four groups were reduced to minimum at +7 d,then the three intervention groups gradually recovered.The WBC recovery at 14,21,28,30 day after the transplant of group A compared with slowly was the intervention groups (P ＞ 0.05),WBC recovery of B was roughly equal to group C (P ＞ 0.05),while the WBC recovery of group D was faster than group B or C (P ＜ 0.05).At 2nd week after transplantation,CD3+ T cells was significantly decreased in 4 groups,and at 3rd week began gradually rised.Compared with group A,the proportion of CD3+ cells of other three groups were increased significantly,there was no statistical signifiance of CD3+ cell proportion between group B and group C at 2nd,3rd,4th week after transplantation (P ＞ 0.05),while the CD3+ T cell recovery in group D was faster than group B or C (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The stable aGVHD mouse model was established.Exogenous IL-7Rα and bacterial flagellin may reduce the incidence of aGVHD.There was no significant difference for aGVHD when they was used alone,but when combination of them,aGVHD is slighter and the hematopoietic recorery is faster.

Objective To establish the orthotopic bladder cancer model of multidrug resistance as the human' s, and detect its resistance condition. Methods Two groups of nude rats 4-6 weeks of age were inculated with 1×107 cell of T24 or T24-ADM, following with observation and putting down their meat, drink,mental condition, urine and abdominal mass growth. Animals were sacrificed after 4 weeks later, then their bladder were weighted and measured, histopathologic assessment was performed,mdr1 was detected by PCR,and cells from the bladder tumors were detected of multidrug resistence by MTT. Results Group of nude rats inculated with T24-ADM generated tumors about 80 % (8/10), the one inculated with T24 was 90 % (9/10)and about 2-3 days early. The blank group had no rats emerge tumors in bladder mucosa at all. Bladder weight and volume: (0.8±0.3) g, (1.0±0.5) g, (875±158) mm3, (903±192) mm3, difference between the two groups had no significant (t = 1.332 and t = 1.215, P＞0.05). Histopathologic detection: The two groups of bladder cancer tissue biopsies can be seen more chaotic arrangement of cell structure, cell body shape is irregular, to the depth of myometrial invasion in different without breaking the film. Between the two groups there were no significantly differences. PCR detection of mdr1 expression differences between the two groups was significant (t = 3.612, P ＜0.01). Cytological detection of drug-resistant cell volume is slightly larger, and no significant difference in morphology. MTT detection: cells from the inculated T24-ADM mice bladder tumor were more resistance to ADM than the ones from the inculated T24 mice bladder tumor (F = 412.107, P＜0.01), and for several other drugs were also resistant. Conclusion Cell transplantation was successfully used to establish bladder cancer model in situ of T24-ADM, and with multi-drug resistance characteristics. The model laid the foundation for further multi-drug resistance research of bladder cancer.

BACKGROUND: The presence of fibrosis is a criterion for subtype classification in the newly updated hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) guidelines. The present study aimed to summarize differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis of non-fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (NFHP) and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP) and explore factors associated with the presence of fibrosis. METHODS: In this prospective cohort study, patients diagnosed with HP through a multidisciplinary discussion were enrolled. Collected data included demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and radiologic and histopathological features. Logistic regression analyses were performed to explore factors related to the presence of fibrosis. RESULTS: A total of 202 patients with HP were enrolled, including 87 (43.1%) NFHP patients and 115 (56.9%) FHP patients. Patients with FHP were older and more frequently presented with dyspnea, crackles, and digital clubbing than patients with NFHP. Serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 125, carbohydrate antigen 153, gastrin-releasing peptide precursor, squamous cell carcinoma antigen, and antigen cytokeratin 21-1, and count of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) eosinophils were higher in the FHP group than in the NFHP group. BAL lymphocytosis was present in both groups, but less pronounced in the FHP group. Multivariable regression analyses revealed that older age, <20% of lymphocyte in BAL, and ≥1.75% of eosinophil in BAL were risk factors for the development of FHP. Twelve patients developed adverse outcomes, with a median survival time of 12.5 months, all of whom had FHP. CONCLUSIONS Older age, <20% of lymphocyte in BAL, and ≥1.75% of eosinophil in BAL were risk factors associated with the development of FHP. Prognosis of patients with NFHP was better than that of patients with FHP. These results may provide insights into the mechanisms of fibrosis in HP.
