Objective To study time-dependent degradation of DNA in lymphocytes in the human bloodstain in order to estimate aging of bloodstain.Methods Lymphocytes were isolated from the human bloodstain placed under room temperature and were analyzed by single-cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE).The percentage of DNA-degraded lymphocytes were calculated in the cloodstain placed at different time intervals from 0 to 72h under fluorescent microscope connected with auto-analysis-image system.Results The percentage of DNA degraded lymphocytes was closely correlated with time lapse within 72h.A regression equation was formulated with R=0.9522(P

Objective To study the quality testing of dose delivery system of the active spot scanning proton and heavy ion accelerator,in order to provide the reference for the quality control of related equipment.Methods In the four therapy rooms,both 0.6 cc chambers and Gafchromic EBT3 films were used,respectively,to test the accelerator for dose reproducibility,dose linearity,dose stability,depth dose distribution,beam scanning position deviation and radiation field uniformity in each therapy room.Results Dose reproducibility variation coefficients are all less than 1.5％,dose linearity's maximum deviations less than 2％,dose stability's deviations less than 2％,depth dose distribution stability within 2％,beam scanning position deviation less than 1 mm,consistency of irradiation field's deviation less than 2 mm,and flatness within ± 5％.Conclusions The indicators about quality testing for the active spot scanning proton and heavy ion accelerator are all in line with the requirements of IEC standards draft.

Objective To develop the method for testing the consistency of irradiation field produced by the active spot scanning proton and heavy ion accelerator.Methods Calibration of the EBT3 films were carried out with the calibrated ion beam to establish the dose calibration curve.According to the different proton and carbon ion energies (proton:94.29,150.68,212.62 McV;carbon ion:175.99,283.43,412.54 MeV/u),EBT3 films were located in the solid water phantoms in each therapy room,respectively.Finally,the irradiated EBT3 films were scanned and the radiation field size's deviation and flatness were analyzed.Results In different conditions,radiation field size's deviations were all less than 2 mm and the flatness parameters were all controlled below the 5％.Conclusions EBT3 films can be used to test the active spot scanning proton and heavy ion accelerator's radiation field uniformity.

Liver fibrosis is characterized by an abnormal hepatic accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) that results from both increased deposition and reduced degradation of collagen fibres. Some studies show that transforming growth factor ?1(TGF-?1), alternatively activated macrophage (aaM) and interleukin 13(IL-13) play a key role in the evolution of fibrosis, of which TGF-?1 and IL-13 become research hotspots. TGF-?1 mainly activates hepatic stellate cells (HSC) through TGF-?1/Smad signal pathway, while IL-13 seems to play a rather crucial role through JAK-STAT6 signal pathway. aaM is an important source of TGF-?1 and activated with Il-13. This paper reviews the role of those signaling molecules in cellular signal transduction of hepatic fibrosis of schistosomiasis japonica, and provides some targets for future drug development.

Objective:To establish the model of apoptosis of activated human ??T cells induced by restimulating with Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen(Mtb-Ag). To investigate the roles of p38 and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K) pathways in the apoptosis of activated human ??T cells induced by restimualting wih Mtb-Ag.Methods:Mtb-Ag activated human T cells(MtbAT) were cultured for 15 days to 25 days and restimulated with three concentrations of Mtb-Ag for 24 hours, and the apoptosis of ??T cells were measured by flowcytometry(FCM) using Annexin-V-FITC/PI staining. Mtb-AT were restimulating with Mtb-Ag(10 ?g/ml) for 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours, the apoptosis of ??T cells were detected. Mtb-AT cells were pretreated with SB203580(an inhibitor for p38 pathway), or LY294002(an inhibitor for PI3K pathway) for 60 minutes, and restimulating with Mtb-Ag for 3 hours, the apoptosis of ??T cells were detected.Results:Both 10.0 and 20.0 ?g/ml Mtb-Ag significantly induced the apoptosis of ??T cells(P0.05). Compared with control, the apoptosis of ??T cells could be significantly induced by restimulating MtbAT with Mtb-Ag(10.0 ?g/ml) for 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours(P0.05) in the percentages of apoptosis of ??T cells restimulated by Mtb-Ag(10.0 ?g/ml) between for 3 hours and for 24 hours, the percentages of apoptosis of the latter is higher than the former about 7.55%. The apoptosis of ??T cells induced by restimualting wih Mtb-Ag could be inhibited by SB203580(80.0 ?mol/L) or LY294002(10.0 ?mol/L), the inhibition rate of apoptosis was 91.6% and 43.1%, respectively.Conclusion:We established the model of apoptosis of activated human ??T cells by means of using Mtb-Ag(10.0 ?g/ml) to restimulate activated ??T cells for 3 hours. The test of inhibitors of signalling molecule suggested the signalling pathways including p38 and PI3K, participated in the apoptosis of activated human ??T cells restimulated by Mtb-Ag.

Objective To evaluate the application of fast-FLAIR T 2WI and enhanced fat-suppressed T 1WI in diagnosis of meningeal disorders.Methods Fast-FLAIR T 2WI and enhanced fat-suppressed T 1WI imaging for 38 patients with meningeal disorders were contrastingly studied.Results Meningeal disorders foci were found in all patients. 55 foci were displayed with fast-FLAIR T 2WI and 59 with enhanced fat-suppressed T 1WI.Conclusions The fast-FLAIR T 2WI and enhanced fat-suppressed T 1WI are all useful to improve the detection of meningeal disorders.

A promising genetic marker, sag5b, was cloned and expressed and the difference of the genes between highly virulent strain (RH) and less virulent strain(Prugniaud) of Toxoplasma gondii was compared. The PCR-generated product of sag5b was subcloned into T easy vector and plasmid pET28a consecutively. The fusion expression was induced by IPTG and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The immunoreactivity of recombinant SAG5B was identical to that of native SAG5B on the membrane of tachyzoites of RH strain. The brains of mice infected with Prugniaud strain of T. gondii were homogenated. Sag1 was successully cloned by PCR from both RH strain tachyzoites and the homogenized brain tissues of mice infected with low virulent strain of Prugniaud,whereas sag5b was only detected in RH strain but not in Prugniaud strain, indicating that sag5b could be used as a genetic marker for differentiation of strain virulence. Expression and vaccination of the virulence-associated gene into mice failed to induce obvious protective immunity against the challenge of RH strain.
