Natural killer ( NK) cells are important innate effector cells and play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis through potent cytotoxic activity and cytokine production. Recent findings show that NK cells can also shape adaptive immune responses by in-fluencing a variety of immune cells. In addition to direct interactions with other immune cells,NK cells can indirectly stimulate or inhibit adaptive immune response via influencing infected cells and pathogen load. Abundant studies have highlighted the positive regulatory functions of NK cells, while their negative regulatory functions have increasingly attracted attention in recent years. Here, we review recent findings on negative regulation of adaptive immune response by NK cells, discussing the involved effector cells and function mechanism,and demonstrate how this negative regulation influences the overall outcome of adaptive immunity in infection and tumor disease.

Objective To investigate the electrophysiological characteristics of the ventralis intermedius nucleus (Vim) in order to find an easy and safe way to confirm the target in Vim-thalamotomy. Method In microelectrode-guided selective Vim-thalamotomy for 23 Parkinson's disease patients, the background activity, amplitude and discharge frequencies of Vim were compared with its surrounding structures. The response of kinesthetic neuron and tremor cell to microstimulation was also compared. Result There were differences in backgroud activity and discharge amplitude for Vim, ventralis lateralis nucleus (VL), ventralis caudalis nucleus (VC), and internal capsule. Based on the response to active or passive movement of contralateral limb tremor cells were divided into two subgroups, which were different in localization. Contralateral tremor showed different response when the two subgroups of tremor cells were mircrostimulated. Conclusion The anterior border of Vim was easily found by microrecording. Only by combining microstimulation with microrecording could the posterior border of Vim and its interior and lateral ordination of target were identified exactly and safely. Kinesthetic neurons and tremor cells which responded to the movement of contralateral limbs should be destroyed.

Objective　To investigate the way of closed establishment of pneumoperitoneum(CEPP) in patients with peritoneal cvity adhesion in laparoscopy cholecystectomy(LC). Methods　CEPP experiences of 1046 patients in 6600 cases LC in our hospital from September 1991 to September 1999 were retrospectively analysed. The difficulty in establishing pneumoperitoneum was divided into two kinds: real establishment pneumoperitoneal difficulty(REPPD) and false establishment pneumoperitoneal difficulty(FEPPD). REPPD was due to Veress needle penetrating into visceral or extensive adhesion in peritoneal cavity resulting in CO2 flowing into difficulty. FEPPD was due to Veress needle pentrating in the fat out of peritoneum, in round hepatic ligament or in greater omentum. The formal situation needed to open laparotomy as a change, and the latter situation could establish pneumoperitoneum successfully by regulating the Veress needle penetrating direction or depth in the second penetration. Results　Of the 1046 patients, 1028 cases had been establishedpneumoperitoneum successfully though CEPP; 6 cases of REPPD and 18 of FEPPD were required opening laparotomy as a change. The successful rate of CEPP was 98.3%. Conclusions　CEPP is a safe and feasible method in patients with peritoneal adhesion in LC. It is the main reason for CEPP failure regarding REPPED as FEPPD made by the deficiency in LC experience and loss confidence in laparoscopist.

Objective To investigate the effect of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) on the degranulation of mast cells and the permeability of gastric mucosa in BALB/c mice, in order to provide further evidence for the important role of Hp in the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria (CU). Methods Seventy healthy BALB/c mice were randomly classified into 3 different groups, namely, Hp group (n = 30), fed with Hp liquid once every 3 days for a total of 7 times, and two control groups, alcohol group (n = 20) fed with 45 percent alcohol solution, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) group (n = 20) fed with BSA 2% solution. Alteration in the blood sucrose level was used to assess the permeability of gastric mucosa. Toluidine blue staining of gastric mucosa was used to assess the total number of mast cells, the amount of degranulated mast cells and the per-centage of degranulated cells after feeding. Results There was a statistically significant difference between the total number of mast cells (F = 207.59, P < 0.01 ) and the percentage of degranulated mast cells (F = 108.16, P <0.01 ) among the three groups, with the highest number and percentage observed in the Hp group followed by the alcohol group. In both groups, the concentration of blood sucrose was increased after feed-ing, with a higher increase in the alcohol group; no significant change occurred in the concentration of blood sucrose in the BSA group (F = -4.06, P > 0.05 ), which differed significantly from the other two groups (F =277.03, P< 0.01 ). Conclusions Hp infection could increase the number and degranulation of mast cells in gastric mucosa, resulting in the release of histamines and vasoactive mediators, which may be related to the manifestation of urticaria.

Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is one of the most commonly encountered developmental toxicity, which could lead to perinatal morbidity and mortality, be also extended from the fetus to adulthood, and seriously affect the quality of the population. Caffeine widely exists in a variety of daily beverages and some drugs. Its consumption is increasing year by year. Caffeine intake during pregnancy is one of the risk factors for IUGR. However, its mechanism of adverse outcome based on embryonic research is still unclear. In this paper, the possible mechanisms of caffeine-induced IUGR focusing on 3 important factors-the mother, placenta and fetus were explored. Caffeine's impact on the mother is the chronic activation of renin-angiotensin system; on the placenta, caffeine induces cell damage or the failure of the cell proliferation/apoptosis balance, leading to blockage of blood supply to the placenta; caffeine is also capable of directly affecting fetal development through interfering its neuroendocrine.

Objective To provide a quantitative summary estimate on the efficacy and safety measures of the combination therapy.Methods We searched databases(Medline and Embase)from January 1997 to December 2009 using‘ Fluticasone and salmerterol' or‘ Seretide' or‘ Advair' or‘ budesonide/formoterol' or‘ Symbicort Turbuhaler' in combination with ‘ Randomised controlled trial'.The databases of GlaxoSmithKline Clinical Trial Register and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register,or relevant original studies and review articles were approached for additional studies or details of all relevant studies.Results Morning peak expiratory flow(PEF),evening PEF and clinic FEV1 were 17.59L/min,14.95L/min and 0.08L/min higher with combination therpy than with increasing ICSs by two fold or more at endpoint,respectively.The risk of asthmatic exacerbation was reduced in the combination therpy group compared with the increased doses of ICS groups,with OR being 0.61(95 ％ CI 0.53 ～ 0.70,P ＜ 0.01).Significantly increases in the percent of symptom-free days 6.30(95％ CI 3.52 ～9.10),asthma-control days 9.49(95％ CI 4.74 ～14.25)and relieve-free days 6.59(95％ CI 6.10 ～ 7.08)were observed in patients treated with ICS/LABA compared with increased doses of ICSs at endpoint.Reduction in reliever medication use(inhalations/day)0.22(95 ％ CI 0.11 ～0.33)with significant difference was also observed at endpoint.Conclusion Combination products of ICS/LABA were more effective than a high dose of ICSs in improving lung function,reducing asthmatic exacerbation and use of reliever medication and improving control of asthma.

Objective To study the relationship of Dll-1/Notch signal transduction pathway with the pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer and the effect on proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells. Methods We assessed Notchl and Dll-1 protein levels in 63 cases of colorectal cancer and adjacent normal tissue by Western blotting.SW480 cells were treated with DAPT (γ-secretase inhibitor) at different treating times.MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to measure the proliferation and apoptosis of SW480 cells,seperately.The expression of the intracellular domain of Notch (NICD),Hes-1 and Bcl-2 were measured by Western blotting.Statistical methods were used including independent samples t test,paired sample t test and single factor analysis of variance. Results Notch1 and Dll-1 protein level increased in colorectal cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal mucosa,the mean values were 1.75-fold and 2.21-fold,respectively(t =2.554,P =0.012 and t =3.565,P =0.005).Also we found that the overexpression of Notch1 and Dl1-1 was related to the differentiation( t =2.463,P =0.017 and t =2.390,P=0.019),staging(t =2.675,P =0.007 and t =2.310,P =0.021) and lymph nodes metastasis(t =2.229,P =0.021 and t =2.210,P =0.023) of colorectal cancer.Treating SW480 cell with Notch pathway inhibitor (γ-secretase inhibitor,DAPT) resulted in growth inhibition,apoptosis induction and there was downregulation of NICD and Bcl-2 expression along with the treating time. Conclusions Overexpression of Notch1 and Dll-1 is related to the pathological characteristics of colorectal cancer.Blockade of Notch1 signal pathway may inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis of colorectal cancer,as well as inhibit the expression of Bcl-2.
