Assay"'of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA was conducted in the tissues of 60 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), 30 patients with chronic inflamation of nasopharyngeal mucous membrane and 40 patients with other malignant epithelial tumor respectively using DNA in situ hybridization method. The positive rate of EBV-DNA in patients of NPC was 71.6%, while it was negative in pat ents with other malignant tumors a small number of EB-VDNA positive cells were also discovered in the epithelial cells of paratumours and chronic inflamation of nasopharyngeal mucous membrane. Significant correlation was found in the study of serum EBV-antiby in patients of NPC and EBV-DNA in cancer cells. The results suggest that EBV may be of etiologic significance in the pathogenesis of NPC.

Objective: To determine if fusion genes of HSV-tk gene and cytokine gene have synergy on the cell killing of the Hep-2 human laryngeal carcinoma cell line in vitro. Methods: Different fusion genes expressing vectors PL(TI) SN, PL(TT)SN and PL(TK)SN were generated by recombinant DNA technology. Hep-2 was infected by the recombinant retrovirus. The positive clones were obtained after G418 selection and were termed Hep/TI, Hep/TT and Hep/TK respectively. The integration and expression of fusion genes in Hep-2 cells were identified by RT-PCR and Southern blot. The growth state and GCV killing effect of fusion genes modified cells were used to investigate the expression of fusion genes and antitumour effect on Hep-2 cells. Results: RT-PCR and Southern blot analysis confirmed the integration and expression of fusion genes in Hep-2 cells. There was no significant difference in cell proliferation between the Hep/TI and Hep/ TK.but the growth of Hep/TT was restrained. After the treatment of GCV the Hep/TI, Hep/TT and Hep/TK all showed high sensitivity to GCV. The killing effect of GCV on Hep/TT was the most siginificant and bystander effects were observed siginificantly in vitro. Conclusion: The fusion genes of HSV-tk and cytokine gene have synergistic effects on killing Hep-2 cell after treatment of GCV in vitro,which might have therapeutic potentials for laryngocarcinoma.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA)plays an important role in the regulation of normal immune system.The altered activ-ity of serum ADA could associate with some autoimmune diseases(AID).Various studies abroad have found the elevated ac-tivity of serum ADA compared with healthy controls in many kinds of AID such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis(RA),et al (P<0.05).Many studies foused on the correlation of altered activity of serum ADA with the disease severity,but there is still controversy.To explore the diagnostic value of serum ADA in AID,make a review a-bout the application research progress of ADA in several AID.

Objective To explore the diagnostic significance of C reactive protein(CRP)in diagnosing haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome(HFRS).Methods 96 cases of patients with HFRS of different stages were enrolled in this study,and serum speci-men were collected.30 cases of patients with fever of unknown origin(fever of unknown origin group)and and 30 healthy individu-als(healthy control)were selected as control.Serum levels of CRP,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate amino-transferase (AST),creatine phosphokinase(CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and creatinine(Cr)were detected.Results Serum levels of CRP in patients with HFRS of different stages were lower than that in the fever of unknown origin group,had statistically significant differences(P <0.05).The variation trend of CRP in each stage of HFRS was consistent with the trend of AST,CK,LDH and Cr. Conclusion CRP has clinical significance in differentiating HFRS from fever of unknown origin.
