Objective To study the effect of red blood cells on the secretion of white blood cells modulating globulin in patients with cancer with a new immunological reaction experimental system. Methods Cancer cells (S180, 5?10~6/ml) or 0.2ml of NS or 0.2ml of white blood cells and 0.3ml of plasma were added to anticoagulant suspension of white blood cells treated by citric acid and incubated for 1h at 37℃. The content of globulin (g/L) was determined by Olympus AU100 detector method. 0.2ml of cancer cells was added to 0.2ml of whole blood cells and 0.3ml of plasma in the whole blood experimental group. 0.2ml of NS was added to 0.2ml of whole blood cells and 0.3ml of plasma in the control group. 0.2ml of cancer cells was added to 0.2ml of white blood cells and 0.3ml of plasma in the white blood cell isolation experimental group. 0.2ml of NS was added to 0.2ml of white blood cells and 0.3ml of plasma in the control group. Results Activation rate (0.31?0.09) of globulin in whole blood cell experimental group of patients with cancer was significantly decreased compared to that (0.39?0.14) in normal people. Red cell adhesion rate (0.09?0.08) of globulin in control group was also significantly decreased compared to that (0.29?0.14) in normal people. Conclusion The results of our study indicate that the new experimental system can be used for detection of red blood cell-modulating globulin. The function of red blood cells in modulating globulin of patients with cancer is decreased.

Objective To observe the level of the nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the exhaled breath condensate(EBC)and serum of the patients with ALI /ARDS, and investigate its clinical significance. Methods The study group included 52 mechanical ventilation patients with ALI/ARDS in ICU , which were divided into the survival and death group, while 30 healthy volunteers were recruited as healthy control. EBC samples of the healthy control and the study group on the 1st day and 5st day were collected by EcoScreen condenser with the synchronous collection of the venous blood. The concentrations of NO and ET-1 in the EBC and serum were measured by EIA. Results The levels of NO and ET-1 in EBC and serum of the patients with ALI /ARDS were all significantly higher than those of the healthy control. After treatment , the levels of NO and ET-1 in EBC and serum of the patients all decreased significantly compared with before treatment. After treatment , The levels of NO in EBC and serum of the survival group were significantly lower than those of the death group. After treatment , the levels of ET-1 in serum of the survival group was significantly lower than that of the death group. Conclusions Detecting the levels of NO and ET-1 in the EBC and serum can reflect oxidative stress , inflammatory reaction and endothelial injury in lung of patients with ALI/ARDS.
