Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of combined copeptin, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and high sen?sitive cardiac troponin T (hs-TnT) in determination of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods A total of 152 patients with AMI were selected as AMI group and 143 healthy examinees during the same period were selected as control group. (1) The levels of copeptin, cTnI and hs-TnT were detected at 0, 4, 6 and 12 h in two groups. (2) The combined detection of cop/cTnI and cop/hs-TnT were studied. The positive rates of these items were evaluated at different time points of AMI. ( 3) The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of different cardiac biomarkers for AMI were compared. Results (1) There were significant differences in copeptin at 0, 4, 6 and 12 h between two groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differ?ences in cTnI and hs-TnT between two groups. (2) cop/cTnI and cop/hs-TnT combined detection showed better positive rates than those of copeptin, cTnI or hs-TnT detection alone. (3) In addition, the combined detection of cop/cTnI and cop/cTnI improved significantly the diagnostic sensitivity of AMI. Compared to cop/cTnI combination, cop/hs-TnT combination detec?tion showed better diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for AMI. Conclusion The combined detection of cop/cTnI and cop/hs-TnT are very helpful for early diagnosis of AMI, which shows a very good diagnostic value in clinical application.

In this experiment, we introduced human interleukin-2(lL-2)gene and Neomycin resistance (Neo~R) gene into a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line GLC, using a retroviral vector PLXSN. The positive cells obtained by selecting in G418 were compared with the wild-type cells. We observed their growth characteristics in vitro and the quantity of IL-2 in the culture supernatants. PCR result demonstrated the integration of foreign genes into tumor genome DNA after transfection and permanent existence. Under electron microscope, what can be seen was the surface villi of trans-duced-cells are less and shorter. It deserves further investigation to determine whether the change of cell surface influence metastatic ability of cells.

Objective:To study the vaccine potency of gene-modified tumor cells. Methods:The EL-4 lymphoma was transduced with recombinant retrovirus containing the murine B7-1 gene. The effect of gene transduction on antitumor immunity was investigated.Results:The appearance, growth rate and surface marker of MHCⅠand MHCⅡ molecules of EL-4 cells transduced with B7-1 gene were the same with control cells except for CD80 positive in B7-1 gene transduced cells. B7-1 gene transduced EL-4 cells resulted in remarkable loss of tumorigenicity in syngenetic mice. EL-4/B7-1 cells could induce system protective immunity. Therapeutic vaccine of EL-4/B7-1 cells could retard the growth of established early-stage EL-4/Wt tumor significantly, but not retard the growth of late-stage EL-4/Wt tumor. Irradiated EL-4/B7-1 vaccine showed weak effect against challenged EL-4 cells.Conclusion:B7-1 gene transduced EL-4 cells can induce system protective immunity. It suggested that this vaccine have a potential application value in human cancer treatment.

Objective:To determine the binding ability of ~V-1 V3 loop to target cells.Methods:V3 loop peptides(V3-HBIO,V3-ADA,V3-89.6)derived from different HIV-1 strains LIIB(X4-nopic),ADA(R5-tmpic),89.6(R5X4-tropic) and the biotinylated V3-BH1O(biotin-BHIO) and V3 -ADA( biotin-ADA) were synthesized. The binding of the biotinylated V3 peptides to cells and the binding targets were analyzed using flow cytometry. Results:V3 BH10 can bind to a wide range of cell lines, while bio-ADA scarcely binds to the monocytes derived from periperal blood mononuclear cells.Antibody anti-CXCR4 binding to cells blocked by V3 -BH10 and biotin-BH1O binding was blocked by protease inhibitors. The binding of V3-BH10 could be significantly enhanced by V3-BHlO but by neither V3-89.6 nor V3-ADA.Conclusion:The binding ability of the V3 loop derived from diverse HIV- I strains are different. The V3 loop derived from HIV-1 X4-tropic strain directly binds to a wide range of cell lines, the binding targets are multiple including at least coreceptor and proteases. The V3 loop derived from R5 -tropic strain ADA does scarcely.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of total glucosides of peony (TGP) as adjuvant therapy for prevention of cardiac allograft rejection in rats. METHODS: Rats with cardiac allograft were randomly divided into control group, tacrolimus-treated group, TGP-treated group and tacrolimus plus TGP-treated group. Graft survival time was observed. Allografts in some cases were examined by histological study seven days after transplantation. At the same time, the levels of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell subsets in peripheral blood were examined by using flow cytometry; the hepatic function and renal function of recipients were also tested. RESULTS: The graft survival time of the tacrolimus-treated group and tacrolimus plus TGP-treated group was (11.14+/-1.57) d and (13.57+/-1.99) d, respectively. The graft survival time of the tacrolimus plus TGP-treated group was longer than that of the tacrolimus-treated group (P<0.05). The histological study showed that the rejection of the tacrolimus plus TGP-treated group was slighter than that of the tacrolimus-treated group. The levels of CD4(+) T cell subset in the peripheral blood of the tacrolimus-treated and tacrolimus plus TGP-treated groups were (38.71+/-5.15)% and (32.43+/-4.39)% respectively 7 days after transplantation. The level of CD4(+) T cell subset in the tacrolimus plus TGP-treated group was lower than that in the tacrolimus-treated group (P<0.05). The level of CD8(+) T cell subset and the hepatic and renal function had no significant differences between the tacrolimus-treated group and the tacrolimus plus TGP-treated group. CONCLUSION: Effects of tacrolimus plus TGP in prevention of rejection are better than tacrolimus monotherapy in rats with cardiac allograft and without increasing side effects.

Objective: To study the biological characteristics of tumor cells infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing hTNF-?, investigate the antitumor effect of recombinant adenovirus. Methods: Human lung adenocarcinoma cell line Anip973 was infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing hTNF-?. Cell growth assay, colone formation test, flowcytometry assay and morphology were used to observe the effects on tumor cells. The hTNF-a gene, which was transduced into cancer cells mediated by recombinant adenovirus, was detected by PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis and its products were detected by ELISA assay. The intratumoral injection of rAd-LacZ and rAd-hTNF-? was carried out to evaluate their antitumor effects. Results: The liter of rAd reached 1010 PFU/ml and more than 90% Anip973 cells could be infected by 30MOI rAd. Except the surface structure and ultrastructure of tumor cells infected with rAd had a light change, cell growth abillity assay, colone formation test, flow cytometry assay showed no significant difference compared with that of the control cells. The TNF-? gene expression at 24 h increased greatly. Antitumor study indicated that on the tumor-bearing mice treated with rAd the tumor grew slowly. Tumor volume was significantly smaller and survive time was prolonged than that of controls. Conclusion: There was no significantly changes occurred on tumoral cells after infected with recombinant adenovirus expressing hTNF-?. The intratumoral injection of rAd-LacZ and rAd-hTNF-? could inhibit the growth of solid tumor.

Objective: To investigate the effects of lycopene on T lymphocyte subpopulations and pulmonary alveolar macrophagic (PAM) functions in rats with acute lung injury (ALI). Methods: Rats were randomly divided into the following groups. (1) Control group, (2) ALI model group, (3) Low dose group, (4) Mid dose group and (5) High dose group. Control group and ALI model group were treated with solvent of lycopene, and the other groups were gastrically incubated with lycopene. Thirty-five days later, control group were given physiological saline, ALI model group and lycopene administrated groups were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (6.0 mg/kg) to induce ALI. One hour, four hours or six hours after LPS or physiological saline challenged, abdominal aorta blood for measuring lymphocyte subpopulations and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for measuring function of PAM were gathered respectively. Results: (1) At h 1, the percentages of CD3+,CD4+ and CD8+ of lycopene administrated groups compared with control group were not significantly different. At h 4, the percentage of CD4+ was similar to that at h 1. As for the percentages of CD3+, except high dose group [(28.8?9.9)%] was significantly lower, low dose, mid dose and ALI model group showed no significant difference compared with control group[(39.5?4.5)%]. The percentages of CD8+ of ALI model and lycopene administrated rats, separately (10.2?3.9)%,(10.3?2.8)%,(9.8?2.8)%,(10.1?3.5)%, had been significantly reduced compared with control group[(15.1?2.5)%]; between ALI model and lycopene ad-ministrated groups there was no significant difference. The instance at h 6 was the same as that at h 4. The percentage ratios of CD4+ T-lymphocyte to CD8+ T-lymphocyte of ALI model rats were not significantly different compared with control group or lycopene administrated groups at h 1 and h 6. At h 4, the ratio of the CD4 + and CD8 + in Low dose and Mid dose groups had significant difference and ALI model, high dose hadn’t when they were compared with control group.
