Objective:To investigate the effects of lentinan combined with HCV NS3 DNA vaccine on the antigen specific immune response.Methods:BALB/c mice were ip with different dose of lentinan plus the same dose of NS3 plasmid(100 ?g/per mouse) in a prime and boost immunization strategy.10 days after the second injection,spleens were taken.The cell suspension was prepared and cultured with NS3 peptide as the stimulant.In addition,NS3 cocultured P815 cells were used as target cells.NS3 specific T cell proliferation and cytotoxicity T lymphocyte reaction(CTL)were analyzed by MTT methods,and the cytokines IL-4 and IFN-? in serum were detected by ELISA technique.Results:It was showed that the high and middle dose of lentinan plus NS3 plasmid specifically stimulated NS3 specific CTL reaction at the ratio of effector to target as 50∶1,compared with the single use of NS3 plasmid,P

Objective To evaluate the effect and pathological characters for patients with early esophageal carcinoma and intraepithelial neoplasia after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Methods 69 patients from January 2013 to January 2016 were treated with ESD at the early stage of esophageal carcinoma and intraepithelial neoplasia. The clinical features and the size of the lesions of all the patients were collected. Then analyzed postoperative complications and pathological characteristics. Results Among 69 cases, 16 were early esophageal cancer, 38 were high-grade esophageal neoplasia and 35 were low-grade esophageal neoplasia. The whole piece resection rate was 100.00 % (69/69), complete resection rate and curative resection rate was 95.65 % (66/69), respectively. The largest removal diameter is 7.0 cm. Biopsy accuracy was 69.57 % (48/69). Compared with biopsy, diagnostic accuracy with ESD specimens is higher. Conclusion The early esophageal carcinoma and intraepithelial neoplasia can be treated with ESD. ESD can resect lesions primarily, provide complete specimen for further pathological assessment and improve diagnostic accuracy.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical significance of epithelial cell adhesion molecule(EpCAM) and Claudin-18 in gastric cancer.Methods Surgical specimens of gastric cancer were taken from 64 patients.The histological diagnostic criteria were based on WHO standards.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect expression levels of EpCAM and Claudin-18 in all samples.The relationship between the expression of EpCAM and Claudin-18 and clinicopathological parameters of gastric cancer was analyzed.Correlations of the prognosis of gastric cancer patients with EpCAM and Claudin-18 expression were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model.Results The positive expression rate of EpCAM was elevated with the increase in tumor size and the occurrence of distant metastasis(x2 =4.526 and 36.090,P=0.033 and 0.000).There were significant differences in Claudin-18 protein expression among different age,TNM stage,growth pattern,depth of invasion and distant metastasis patients(all P<0.05).Cox regression model analysis showed that tumor size and distant metastasis were the main risk factors affecting the survival of patients with gastric cancer (RR =50.076 and 1.617,P =0.016 and 0.032),while levels of EpCAM and Claudin-18 were not independent risk factors (both P > 0.05).Conclusions EpCAM and Claudin-18 are closely related to the invasiveness of gastric cancer,but abnormally high levels of EpCAM and Claudin-18 are not independent risk factors for the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.

[Abstract] Objective:To prepare the third generation CAR-T cells targeting EGFRvⅢ (EGFRvⅢCAR-T) and to detect its specific killing effect against EGFRvⅢ+ U87 cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Human CD3+ T cells were transfected with lentiviral EGFRv Ⅲ/3CAR, which was generated by calcium phosphate co-precipitation of three plasmids. The expression of EGFRvⅢ/3CAR in T cells was detected by Western blotting and flow cytometry. In vitro killing effect of EGFRvⅢ/3CAR-T cells on EGFRvⅢ+ U87 cells was detected by 51Cr release assay. The secretion of cytokine IFN-γ of EGFRvⅢ/3CAR-T cells was detected by ELISA. Nude mouse xenograft model was constructed to detect the in vivo cytotoxicity of EGFRvⅢ/3CAR-T cells on xenograft tumor. Results: The EGFRvⅢ/3CAR lentivirus was successfully packaged with an average titer of 5×106 TU/ml. Western blotting showed that a protein band of approximate 58 000 molecular weight was observed in EGFRvⅢ/3CAR-T cells but absent in untransfected T cells. Flow cytometry indicated the average transduction efficiency of EGFRvⅢ/3CAR was 52.3%. 51Cr release assay showed that the specific killing effect of EGFRvⅢ/ 3CAR-T cells was positively correlated with E/T ratio (E∶T=4∶1, 8∶1, 16∶1, 32∶1). ELISA showed that cytokine IFN-γ secretion was (1 836±148.2) pg/ml, which was significantly different from that of NTT and GFP+ T cells (P<0.01). The specific killing activity of EGFRvⅢ/3CAR-T cells and IFN-γ secretion were both dependent on the expression level of EGFRvⅢ in U87 cells. The tumor growth monitoring results showed that the tumor volume of EGFRvⅢ/3CAR-T cell group was significantly different from that of GFP+ T cell group and PBS group around 3 weeks after injection (P<0.01). Conclusion: EGFRvⅢ/3CAR-T cells demonstrated specific antitumor effectagainstEGFRvⅢ+U87cellsbothinvitro and in vivo, providing basis for immunotherapyofgliomainfuture clinical use.
