Objective To observe the morphologic changes of immature dendritic cells(imDCs) before and after the electransfection of human hepatic cancer cell RNA. Methods Monocytes were purified from human peripheral blood,and induced into imDCs.Then human hepatic cancer cell RNA was electransfected into monocyte-derived imDCs.ImDCs were identified by the immunocytochemical method with 7 specific antibodies before and after electransfection.These dendritic cells were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Results After electransfection of human hepatic cancer cell RNA there were few changes of molecule expressions in imDCs.ImDCs were in round,oval and irregular shapes before electransfection.Their sizes were not identical but all bigger than monocytes.There were many protrusions in different shapes which looked like dendrite,or/and bubble,veil cloud on the surface of these imDCs.Although there were some cell fusions and cell deaths after electransfection,most imDCs recovered from the damage.Electransfecting human hepatic cancer cell RNA into imDCs would make pores on cell membrane.Conclusions The pores on cell membrane make it possible that the exogenous material enters imDCs.This study can prove the possibility of electransfecting human hepatic cancer cell RNA into imDCs to make cancer vaccine,which provides a new way for tumor biologic therapy.

Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(4):281-283
In recent years, the function of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a hot field in melanoma.The abnormal expression of MITF is closely related to the occurrence and metastasis of melanoma.In addition, the down expression of MITF promotes its invasion.Studying the regulation of MITF and its related molecules and signaling pathways will let us further understand the molecule mechanism of malignant melanoma metastasis and provide help to exploit novel molecular targeted drug.

Objective To investigate the change and clinical significance of blood D-dimer level during perioperative period in ad-vanced age hip fracture.Methods The blood D-dimer level in 60 patients aged over 80 years old with hip fracture was detected be-fore operation and after operation,which including at admission(T1 ),immediately preoperation(T2 ),immediately postoperation (T3 )and on postoperative 1 d (T4 ).Results The positive rates of D-dimer at T1 ,T2 ,T3 and T4 were 6.67%,16.45%,41.67%and 80.00% respectively;there were statistically significant differences between T3 ,T4 and T1 ,T2 ,between T3 and T4 (P <0.05);there was no statistically significant difference between T1 and T2 (P >0.05).Conclusion The level of D-dimer in advanced age hip fracture has significant change before and after operation.The change of the D-dimer positive rate is an effective index for preven-ting lower limbs deep venous thrombosis and has the important clinical significance to dynamically monitor the D-dimer level during perioperative period in advanced age hip fracture.

Objective To investigate the roles of a variety of cytokines including transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) in the differentiation of CD+4 Tlymphocyte cells.Methods T lymphocyte cells either in human peripheral blood or routine spleen were cultured in vitro under different stimulation conditions.Flow cytometry was used to analyze the percentages of CD+4IL-17+ T-helper 17(Th17) cells,CD+8 IL-17+ T cells,CD+4 CD+25 FOXP+3 T regulatory (Treg) cells among activated T cells.Results Differentiation of Treg cells,Th17 cells and CD+8 IL-17+ T lymphocyte cells was enhanced when murine splenic T cells were cultured with TGF-β.The levels of expression were (7.8±2.2)%,(12.6±3.1)%,(10.1±2.6)% ,respectively.Experimental control group was severally same type of T cells without cytokine treatment.The levels of expression were (4.8±0.6) %,(1.7±0.5) %,(1.0±0.4) %,respectively.There were statistically significant differences among them (q=4.09,8.80,9.61.P<0.05 or P<0.01).Under combination treatment with IL-6 and TGF-β,(17.8±5.3) % Th17 cells and (15.0±4.2)% CDCD+8 IL-17CD+ T cells were induced,whereas the levels of Treg cells whose differentiation were restrained were (4.1±1.2) %.The differences were statistically significant compared with the level of same type of T cells in TGF-β group (q=5.03,5.17,5.04,P<0.01).Moreover,combination treatment with IL-2 and TGF-β decreased percentages of Th17 and CDCD+8 IL-17CD+ T cells and increased percentages of Treg cells in T cell population.There was an opposite effect when anti-IL-2 was apphed.The percentages of Th17 and CD+8 IL-17+ T cells were increased and the percentages of Treg cells were reduced The regulation trend of T lymphocyte cells in human peripheral blood was similar with those in routine spleen.Conclusion Various cytokines are of great importance in the regulation of the balance between Th17 and Treg cell.

Objective To study the right ventricular function of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism by using color Doppler ultrasound.Methods 31 patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism,compared with 31 vohnteers,were enrolled in this study.The right ventricular anterior wall movement,right ventricular end diastolic volume,right ventricular ejection fraction,and myocardial performance index were observed by echocardiography.Resuits The right atrium diameter,right ventricles diameter,right ventrieular end diastolic volume and pulmonary artery inner diameter in study group were much larger than that in control group (P<0.01),and the right ventricular anterior wall movement and right ventrieular ejection fraction decreased in study group (P<0.01).Tricuspidal annular E peak velocity tended to be decreased,isovolumie relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time were prolonged and myocardial performance index was increased (P<0.01).Right ventricular myocardial performance index showed significant correlation with right ventrieular ejection fraction (r=0.78,P<0.01),isovolumic relaxation time and isovolumic contraction time(rl=0.88,r2=0.57,P<0.01).Conclusion The right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary thromboembelism is decreased and myocardial performance index is a sensitive index which can be used to reflect right ventricular function in pulmonary thromboembolism.

Objective To study the changes of serum protein spectrum in patients with systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in order to screen specific protein markers. Methods Serum samples from 72 patients with SLE and 85 age- and sex-matched controls were assessed using surface-enhanced laser desorp-tion/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) with weak cation exchange (CM10) pro-rein chip. Forty samples from the patients and 50 control samples were randomly selected to serve as a pre-liminary training set; significantly different protein peaks were automatically chosen for the system training and development of a decision classification tree model. The validity of the model was then challenged with a blind test set (including another 32 samples from patients and 35 from human controls). Results A total of 73 effective protein peaks were detected within the mass/charge ratio (m/z) interval 2000 - 50000, among which, 15 protein peaks significantly differed between patients with SLE and controls (P < 0.01). Three pro-tein peaks with an m/z value of 4001, 6305 and 7356 were automatically chosen as a biomarker pattern in the training set that discriminated patients with SLE from controls with a sensitivity of 90.0% (36/40), speci-ficity of 92.0% (46/50) and accuracy rate of 91.1% (82/90). When the SELDI marker pattern was tested with the blinded test set, it yielded a sensitivity of 87.5% (28/32), specificity of 91.4% (32/35) and accuracy rate of 89.6% (60/67). Conclusions SELDI-TOF-MS protein chip could be used to screen serum protein for SLE, and the decision classification tree model with these biomarkers may favor the diagnosis of SLE.
