Objective:To elucidate the characterization of CD8+T cell in H1N1 influenza vaccine for children.Methods:PBMCs were isolated from 31 children aged from 3 to 6 years old who had accepted H 1N1 influenza vaccine during December 2009 to January 2010.The lymphocytes were joined with the H 1N1 influenza vaccine as experimental group and cultured .The experiment set without vaccine group as control group .At last we detected the surface molecules by FCM .The CCK-8 assay was added to detecting cellular proliferation and cellular proliferation index were detected by CCK-8.Results: CD8+T cells of PBMC in the two groups were 13.41%and 9.41%,P>0.05.CD8+CD45RAA+naive T cells in the two groups were up to more than 80%,P>0.05.The proportion of CD8+CD45ROA+memory T cells in two groups were up to 17%-19%,P>0.05.Two subsets of CD8+CD45ROA+memory T cells :CCR7+and CD62L+single positive memory T cell subsets in the experimental group were significantly lower than that of the control group,P<0.05.The CCK-8 assay was added to detect cellular proliferation .Only 51.16% of which cellular proliferation index was greater than 0.8,with none was greater than 1 in this study.Conclusion:This study showed that the CD4+T cells were low-level,naive T cells (CD8+CD45RAA+)were higher,with antigen stimulation and response.H1N1 vaccination specific memory T cells were few in number , specific memory T cell subsets were diversity , control memory cells were the main phenotypic characteristics .Cellular proliferation index showed that the proliferation of specific CD 8+T cells vaccine was poor .

It has been known that the Alzheimer's disease(AD)is related closely with a synaptic failure,and the p21-activated kinase(PAK)is well documented to play an important role in the regulation of the synaptie functions.However,the relationship between thePAK and the pathology of AD is unclear.In the present study,we examined the expressions of the PAK3(one subtype ofPAK),phospho-rylated-PAK(pPAK) and β-amyloid42(Aβ42,β-amyloid with 42 peptides)in an APP/PS1 double transgenie mouse model of AD andthe morphologies of geurOtlS in the hippocampus at different ages.The Western Blot results showed that the expression of PAK remainedunchanged,while,the expression of pPAK decreased largely at the age of 32 weeks and further decreased significantly with aging in thehippocampus of the APP/PS1 transgenic mouse.A1342 levels in the hippocampus were detected to increase as early as the age of 22 weeks,and kept the increase to continue with aging.The morphological results showed no obvious neuron loss in the sections of Nissl staining,while serious distonion and disorder of the dendrites of the hippocampal neurons were observed on the sections of Gelgi staining in theAPP/PS1 transgenic mouse.The present results suggested that it seemed something wrong in the processes of phospholization of PAK,butnot in the expression of the PAK itself;the toxic Aβ42 might affect the PAK in its phospholization,which in turn directly influence thedendritic development in the hippocampal neurons and cause the dendrites distorting and disordering.
