Objective:To explore the immunity provided to BALB/c mice by immunization with the recombinant ricin B chain protein (rRTB). Methods:Female BALB/c mice were randomly selected into rRTB-vaccinated group and PBS group. Mice were subcu-taneously (s. c. ) injected four times with 14 days immunization time interval. Changes of antibodies (IgG,IgG1and IgG2a) in serum were detected by ELISA. Meanwhile,the expression of IL-4 and IFN-γ were detected by flow cytometry. Results:The mean IgG titers reached 106 after the fourth immunization and a strong secondary response was induced in vaccinated mice when challenged with toxin. There was significant difference between rRTB-vaccinated group and PBS group ( P<0. 05 ) . The same result was shown in IgG1. However,no changed was detected in IgG2a. Meanwhile,there was significant difference for IL-4 between two groups (P<0. 05), while no significant difference for IFN-γwas observed. Conclusion:rRTB can produce higher levels of antigen-specific antibodies ( IgG and IgG1),and cytokine (IL-4) of splenocytes,which means the recombinant protein can induce the Th2-type immune response and trigger a good immune response. rRTB may be a potentially valuable vaccine candidate against human exposure to AT.

The original articles in recent years about solitary plasmacytomas of bone(SPB) were reviewed in terms of etiopathogenisis,diagnosis,therapy plan and prognosis.SPB is a rare tumor characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of plasmocytes.After it is diagnosed by local biopsy and further immunocytochemistry test,the wide excision or thorough curettage in corporation with radiotherapy is the choice of treatment.The primary tumor size,the content and lasting time of M proteins or local recurrence evidence after properly treated are all closely correlated with SPB prognosis.SPB is a rare tumor with a tendency to grow into multiple myeloma.The correct diagnosis and treatmert in time and long-term fellow up are vital factors for prognosis.

Aim To investigate effects of indole-3-carbinol (I3C) on hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activated by acetaldehyde in precision-cut liver slices (PCLS). Methods PCLS were incubated with 700 ?mol?L-1 acetaldehyde and 200 ~ 800 ?mol?L-1 I3C for 6 h. The expression of ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA) in liver slices was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The leakages of glutathione S-transferase (GST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and content of transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) in media were assayed. Contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydroxyproline (Hyp) in tissue were also determined. Expressions of matrix metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) in media were analyzed by the western blot. Results The increase of activated HSCs due to acetaldehyde was inhibited by I3C (200~800 ?mol?L-1). Meanwhile, I3C treatment (200~800 ?mol?L-1) showed significant and concentration-dependent antagonistic actions on the increment of GST, LDH leakages into the media and MDA, Hyp contents in tissues induced by acetaldehyde. The increase of TGF-?1 was also remarkable inversed by I3C (200~800 ?mol?L-1). As compared with acetaldehyde group, the ratio of MMP-1/TIMP-1 was increased significantly by I3C treatment (800 ?mol?L-1)(P

Objective:To determine the effect of total parenteral nutrition(TPN) supplemented with glutamine(Gln) on the concentration of plasma lipopolysaccharide(LPS)of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS) patients.Methods:40 MODS patients in the ICU were randomly divided into routine group(Group A,n=20),the Gln+TPN treatment Group (Group B,n=20).The two groups of patients received treatment of parenteral nutrition with equal nitrogen and equal calorie.Group A were given routine TPN,and Group B were given routine TPN and Gln 0.27 g/(kg?d)[i.e.dipeptiven 0.4 g/(kg?d)] for seven days.The concentration of plasma Gln and LPS were checked before the treatment of TPN and on the first,the third and the seventh day after the treatment of TPN.At the same time 20 healthy blood donators were chosen as the healthy control group(Group C).Results:Before treatment the concentration of plasma Gln of the two patient groups were both lower than that of Group C(P0.05).On the first,the third and the seventh day of the treatment of TPN,the concentration of plasma Gln of Group A was lower than that of Group B(P0.05).After the treatment of Gln plus TPN,the concentration of plasma LPS of Group B was lower than that of Group A(P0.05).Conclusion:The Gln(dipeptiven) can help to decrease the concentration of plasma LPS and the TPN treatment time of the MODS patients.
