Objective To investigate the changes of phenotypes and function of CD56+T cells during primary HIV-1 infection and their relationship with disease progression.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from 53 subjects with primary HIV-1 infection and 31 HIV-1-negative healthy subjects.The percentages of CD56+T cells and the expression of several phenotypic markers on CD56+T cells including CD16, CD161, NKB1, NKG2A, NKp46, NKG2D, NKG2C and CD158a were analyzed by flow cytometry.IFN-γand TNF-αreleased by CD56+T cells with and without K562 stimulation and the levels of cytotoxic molecular CD107a were measured.Results The percentages of CD56+T cells in patients with primary HIV-1 infection were significantly lower than those of healthy subjects (P=0.025). The levels of CD56+T cells were negatively related to the viral loads in plasma samples ( P=0.021, r=-0.316).Compared with healthy subjects, the expression of CD16 (P=0.003), CD161 (P=0.023), NKB1 (P=0.023) and NKp46 (P=0.021) on CD56+T cells were decreased in patients with primary HIV-1 infection.The levels of NKB1 were positively related to the CD4+T cell counts ( P=0.007, r=0.364), but were negatively related to the viral loads in plasma samples (P=0.030, r=-0.299).Sponta-neous secretion of IFN-γand TNF-αby CD56+T cells and the expression of CD107a were dramatically in-hibited in patients with primary HIV-1 infection as compared with healthy subjects ( all P<0.001 ) . Moreover, the killing ability of CD56+T cells against K562 target cells was weakened in patients with prima-ry HIV-1 infection as the levels of IFN-γ-, TNF-α-and CD107a-producting CD56+T cells were significantly decreased (P<0.001 for IFN-γand TNF-α, P=0.016 for CD107a).Conclusion Inhibited expression and altered phenotypes of CD56+T cells were identified during primary HIV-1 infection.Lower levels of cy-tokines and cytotoxic molecular were also detected, indicating the dysfunction of CD56+T cells appeared dur-ing early stage of HIV-1 infection and was associated with disease progression.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the outcome of Titanium elastic intramedullary nailing (TEN) for the treatment of displaced midclavicular fractures.
METHODSBetween February 2010 and February 2013, 62 patients with displaced midclavicular fractures were treated by TEN, including 27 males and 35 females with an average age of 37.6 years old ranging from 15 to 67 years. The course of disease was from 1 to 9 days (means 2.7 days). Thirty-nine cases were treated by closed reduction and 23 cases by assistant small incision. Based on OTA (the Orthopaedic Trauma Association classification) classification, 31 cases of simple fractures involved 5 cases of 06-A1,15 cases of 06-A2,11 cases of 06-A3; 31 cases of wedge fractures involved 4 cases of 06-B1,12 cases of 06-B2,15 cases of 06-B3. Postoperative pain relief were evaluated by VAS score,and operation time,fracture healing time were recorded. After 6 weeks and after removing internal fixation shoulder joint function was evaluated by Constant score, and shoulder joint function were assessed by Herscovici score after 6 weeks.
RESULTSExcept 2 cases were lost to follow-up, 2 cases did not remove internal fixation, 3 cases' fractures were nonunion, the remaining 55 patients received follow-up for an average time of 11.4 months. The average preoperative VAS score was 5.20±0.71, and it turned to be 1.550.59 at 3 days after operation. The average operative duration was 40 min (15 to 65 min). The average bone healing time was (2.71±0.54) months (2 to 5 months). No difference about bone healing time was found between simple fractures and wedge fractures,and between the patients treated by closed reduction and assistant small incision. According to Herscovici standard, the shoulder function was excellent in 49 cases, good in 4, fair in 1, and poor in 1. Simple fractures achieved better Constant score than wedge fractures at 6 weeks postoperatively, whereas no difference was found at 4 weeks after fixation removal.
CONCLUSIONTitanium elastic nails (TEN) for treatment of displaced midclavicular fractures has advantages of good clinical effect,rapid pain relief,fast recovery of shoulder joint function. For OTA classification type B patients with comminuted fracture can replace steel to achieve very good effect, but to grasp the appropriate.

Objective To construct an expression plasmid carrying the specific siRNA of survivin gene,and to evaluate its silencing effect on the expression of survivin gene and its inhibition effect on the growth of gastric cancer cells.Methods The specific siRNA of survivin gene was designed and synthesized,and an expression plasmid pAdGFP-siRNA was constructed.Gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 was cuhured and transferred with pAdGFP-siRNA,then the silencing of survivin gene expression and the growth inhibition of cancer cell mediated by pAdGFP-siRNA were identified.Results The growth of gastric cancer cells was inhibited after transferring the pAdGFP-siRNA,with the inhibition rate of 68.2% compared to the control group.Immunohistochemistry showed that the specific siRNA markedly silenced the expression of survivin gene in cancer cells.Conclusions The overexpression of survivin gene in gastric cancer cells results in the high proliferation and the resistance to the chemo- and radio-therapy of the cancer cells.The specific siRNA can markedly silence the expression of survivin gene and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
8. Research progress in kartogenin and cartilage repair
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2016;37(4):471-476
As a degenerative disease caused by multiple factors, osteoarthritis is characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and reactive hyperplasia of joint edge and the subchondral bone. Recently, kartogenin (KGN) was identified to promote chondrocyte differentiation. KGN can block interleukin 1β(IL-1β)-caused loss of extracellular matrix and proteoglycan. Transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1), bone morphogenetic protein 7(BMP-7), and KGN together can synergistically promote the expression of lubricin in chondrocytes. KGN can also induce cartilage-like tissue formation in tendon-bone junction. In addition, chitosan (CHI)-KGN nanoparticles and CHI-KGN microspheres can more effectively induce chondrogenic differentiation than unconjugated KGN. Here in this paper we summarized the roles of KGN in regulating the cartilage regeneration.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expressions and action mechanisms of nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors TrkA and p75NTR in the oncogenesis and progression of prostate cancer (PCa).
METHODSUsing immunohistochemistry, we detected the expressions of TrkA and p75NTR in 62 PCa and 35 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) samples, and conducted statistical analysis on the basis of clinical data.
RESULTSIndependent-samples t-test showed that, along with poorer tissue differentiation or higher clinical stage of PCa, the expression of TrkA was significantly up-regulated, that of p75NTR remarkably down-regulated, and the expression ratio of TrkA to p75NTR markedly increased. The TrkA/p75NTR ratio was 0.32 in the BPH, 0.52 in the PCa tissue with Gleason score of 6, 1.65 in the PCa tissue with Gleason score of 7, 5.75 in the PCa tissue with Gleason score ≥ 8, 0.89 in the clinical stage of pT2, 1.5 in pT3 a, 3.75 in pT3b, and 7.00 in pTxN1.
CONCLUSIONThe abnormally increased expression ratio of TrkA to p75NTR might be one of the essential features of malignant transformation of prostate cells. A higher TrkA/p75NTR expression ratio may be associated with a lower tissue differentiation, a higher clinical stage or Gleason score, and therefore a poorer prognosis.
