Objective To investigate human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV 1)specific CD8'T cell responses and related human leukocyte antigenⅠ(HLA-I)restriction sites.Methods Four Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)strains-transformed B-lymphoblastoid cell lines (BLCL)from periph eral blood monocytes (PBMC)of 4 healthy individuals were established.Using synthesized peptides in HIV-1 Gag,Vif and Nef regions as epitopes and using BLCL as antigen presenting cells (APC), the frequency of interferon-7(IFN-?)secreting cells in CD8 T cells from a HIV-infected long term nonprogressor by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT)assay in vitro were assessed.Moreover, matching analysis of HI.A-Ⅰrestriction sites were performed.Results HIV-1 epitopes were presen ted restrictively by HLA-Ⅰmolecules in specific CD8 T cell responses,and this antigen presenting had high specificity.HLA-Ⅰrestriction sitesA03,A26,C04andC08 contributed to presentepitopes in HIV-1 C-ag region,A03 and C08 to HIV-1 Nef as well.Conclusion HLA-Ⅰrestriction sites may include A03,A26,C04 and C08 in HIV-1 Gag region,and A03,C08 in Nef region.

Objective:To evaluate the acute oral toxicity , skin irritation and skin allergy of Thuja essential oil ( TEO) , and pro-vide experimental basis for the clinical use of TEO .Methods:The acute oral toxicity was measured by Horn ’ s assay .Totally 40 KM mice were divided into four groups and intragastrically administered with TEO at different dose of 21.50, 10.00, 4.64 and 2.15 g · kg-1 .After the 14-day observation, the death number and toxic manifestations were recorded and observed , and LD50 was calculated by checking the Horn's form of LD50 .The skin irritation test was performed on healthy adult white rabbits .Totally 9 rabbits were divid-ed into 3 groups randomly , and TEO at the concentration of 100%, 50%and 25%was painted on the skin of the rabbits .Edible vege-table oil was used as the negative control .The erythema and edema of the treated skin were evaluated and scored .Delayed skin hyper-sensitivity reaction was used to investigate the allergy of TEO .Totally 30 white guinea pigs were randomly divided into 3 groups:TEO group, the negative control (edible vegetable oil) and the positive group (1%2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene).After the intracutaneous in-duction stage and local induction stage , TEO was used to activate the hypersensitive reaction .The skin response was observed and scored after the 24-hour and 48-hour activation.Results:The mice in 21.50 g · kg-1 TEO treatment group were all dead , while only a part of the mice in 10.00 and 4.64 g · kg-1 TEO treatment groups were dead , and no mice died in 2.15 g · kg-1 TEO treatment group.According to the Horn's form of LD50 , LD50 of TEO was 9.26 g · kg -1 for male mice and 7.94 g · kg -1 for female mice.The results of skin irritation test indicated the strong irritation effects of TEO .However , the irritation of TEO was reduced after the dilution , and 25%TEO showed no irritation to the skin of rabbits .The results of delayed skin hypersensitivity reaction showed obvious erythema and edema induced by 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene , while no obvious erythema and edema were found in TEO treated guinea pigs , indi-cating non-allergic effect of TEO .Conclusion:TEO has strong skin irritation in rabbits , while no obvious oral toxicity in mice and skin allergy in guinea pigs .

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of CEUS in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid solid lesions.MethodsTotally 45 patients with thyroid solid lesions underwent CEUS examination.The enhancement mode and blood perfusion characteristics of malignant and benign lesions were analyzed,and the results were compared with pathology.ResultsCEUS diagnosed 31 benign lesions and 14 malignant masses.The diagnostic accordance rate of CEUS was 93.75％ (30/32) and 92.31％ (12/13) for benign and malignant lesions respectively.In 31 benign lesions,27 (27/31,87.10 ％) showed entire homogeneous enhancement,4 (4/31,12.90％) presented inhomogeneous enhancement.In 14 malignant masses,1 (1/14,7.14 ％) showed homogeneous hypoechoic enhancement,12 (12/14,85.71％) presented inhomogeneous hyperechoic enhancement and 1 (1/14,7.14％) presented non-enhancement.ConclusionCombined with two-dimensional grey scale ultrasound and CDFI,CEUS enables dynamic observation of the microvascular perfusion of thyroid lesions,therefore helps to differentiate benign and malignant thyroid lesions.

Objective:To observe the expression of cell adhesion molecule CD44 in lung tissue of rats with asthma.Methods:32 SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:the normal group and the model group,8 rats in each group.The asthmatic model was established by repeated inhalation of ovalbulium.The expression of CD44 in lung tissue of rats was detected by semi-quantitatively reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and by means of immuno-histochemical staining.Differential leukocytes counts(neutrophils,eosinophils,and lymphocytes) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were performed after staining with wright staining.Results:The expressions of CD44 increased one week after OVA challenge(P

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the optimal operation mode for the management of donated drugs.METHODS: The possible problems existed in the management of donated medicines were found out through summarizing our practical experience in the inventory,storage and use etc of the donated drugs.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: In the management of donated medicines,emphasis should be attached to the inventory,storage and use of the donated medicines,meanwhile,a sound supervising system for the donation affairs should be set up to standardize the donation behavior,strengthen expiration date management and gradually establish the practical and effective work mode.

Objective To investigate the incidence of thyroid space occupying lesion by ultrasound imaging in patients with breast cancer.Methods From 2009 to 2012,150 patients with breast cancer as experimental group and another 150 patients with breast benign diseases as control group underwent thyroid ultrasound examination.Ultrasound results of the two groups were analyzed to find the differences.Restult More obvious space occupying lesions were found in experimental group than those in control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The incidence rate of thyroid space occupying lesion in the patients with breast cancer is higher than that in the patients with no breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of transfection of Sonic hedgehog gene (SHH)into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSC).Methods After the SHH gene was transfected into BMMSC by electroporation apparatus,the transfection rate was evaluated by fluorescence inverted microscope.The growth curves of untransfected and transfected BMMSC were drawn,respectively,to observe the influence of transfection on cells.The expression of SHH gene in the BMMSC was detected by PCR,RT-PCR,Western-blot analyses.Results Through fluorescence inverted microscope,the observed transfection rate was appropriately 30％,PCR showed a obvious increase of SHH expression in transfected cells than that in untransfected cells,and it is quantified by qPCR for appropriately 7 times.Western-blot further demonstrated that the SHH protein expression in transfected cells had a distinct increase.However,it was observed that the exponential phase of BMMSCSHH growth curve delayed.The growth curves of both overlap 12 days after transfection.Conclusions This electroporation method can transfect exogenous SHH gene into BMMSC sufficiently with the effective protein expression in BMMSCSHH.It is the foundation of further research of genetic therapy for ischemic heart disease.
