Objective To investigate the technical charactenstics ot SYSMEX XS1000i 5-part differential automated hematological analyzer and its clinical applications.Methods 209 samples were analyzed with the analyzer of XS1000i and compared to the results from Beckman-Coulter LH750 analyzer.The main parameters from XS1000i,such as precision within-run,day to day precision and carryover contamination rates etc,were recorded respectively in 509 samples to compare the difference between the instrumental and optical examination.Results All variation coefficients of precision from XSI000i were within the manufacturer.The carryover contamination rates of WBC,RBC,Hb,HCT and PLT were 0.19%,0.93%,0,-0.88%,-0.76%,respectively.The parameters of XS1000i were correlated with the results of LH750 except basophil granulocyte.The correlation coefficients of WBC,RBC, HGB and PLT were 0.994 5,0.996 8,0.997 0 and 0.974 6 ,respectively.The sensitivity of warning flags in immature leukocytes was 100% and the specificity was 69.7%,the sensitivity of warning flags in atypical lymphocyte was 100% and the specificity was 66.7%.Especially in 3 leukocytopenia that was induced by chemotherapy in patients with leukemia who had only few immature cells existed in the peripheral blood,the parameters of XS1000i were positive,and correlated with the results of detection of minimal residual disease with flow cytometry.Conclusions The warning system of XSIO00i provides more valuable information for manual microscopic examination.If it is combined with flow cytometry,the advantages in detection of residual leukemic cell will be fully displayed.

Objective To understand the incidence of renal involvement of children with non Hodgkin′s lymphoma and to recognize its different CT findings. Methods The thoracic and abdominal plain and contrast enhanced CT of 30 cases of NHL in children were reviewed and all cases were confirmed by pathology. The changes in both pre and post chemotherapy were analysed in the 10 selected cases with renal involvement. Results CT demonstrated 6 cases of multiple masses and 1 case of multiple patchy lesions in bilateral kidneys. Two cases of single mass and 1 case of multiple masses were detected in single kidney. Conclusion The incidence of renal involvement of children with non Hodgkin′s lymphoma is relatively high. CT can clearly demonstrate the renal involvement of NHL, which is helpful for clinical stage, especially in the evaluation of the therapeutic effects. Hence, abdominal plain and contrast enhanced CT scan should be done in children with NHL.

Objective To experimentally verify the putative function of gene tls from Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage PaP3. Methods The gene tls was amplified from the genome of phage PaP3 by PCR and subcloned into pMD18-T vector. Then the gene tls cut down from the vector was inserted into the plasmid pQE31, which could give the 6-His tag at the N' side of the expressed protein. The recombinant vector pQE-tls was transformed to E. coli JM109. After induction with IPTG, the expressed bacteria was resuspended and sonicated, then the inclusion body was obtained after centrifugalization. The inclusion body was then dissolved with lysis buffer. The inclusion body solution, which has the target protein, was then purified by affinity chromatography and renatured by dialysis. Finally the nuclease activity of the fusion protein H6-TLS was tested on the plasmid pMD-cos which contains the cutting site of terminase large subunit. Results The expression plasmid pQE31-tls was successfully constructed, and the target protein yield was up to 30% of the total bacterial proteins. Meanwhile the substrate vector pMD-cos was also successfully constructed. After purification and renaturation, the fusion protein H6-TLS could partially cut the substrate vector pMD-cos. Conclusion The fusion protein H6-TLS was successfully expressed, purified and renatured, and it was shown to possess nuclease function. The experiment lays the foundation for further research of the gene tls.

Objective To identify some basic biological properties,optimal multiplicity of infection(MOI),one-step growth kinetics,serum neutralization rate constant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage PaP3 were determined, respectively. Methods The host bacteria were infected with PaP3 at six different MOI(0.0001,0.001,0.01,0.1,1 and 10,then lysated adequately, the phage titer of supernatant was determined.For one-step growth experiments,the host bacteria were infected with PaP3 at MOI=10, following centrifugation after 15 min adsorption,the pellet containing (partially) infected cells was resuspended in 3 ml of pre-warmed LB broth and incubated with 160rpm at 37℃.Samples(50?l) were taken at 10 min-intervals and immediately tittered by the double-layer agar plate method. A rabbit was immunized with purified PaP3 to prepare anti-PaP3 serum, reaction constants between antiserum and PaP1, PaP2, PaP3 were determined using cross neutralization test. Results 0.001 MOI-infected host bacteria gave the highest phage offsprings. One-step growth curve was determined according to the results of one-step growth experiments.Reaction constant was determined using neutralization test. Conclusion The optimal MOI of PaP3 was determined to be 0.001. One-step growth curve for PaP3 shows that the latent period is about 20 min, the rise period is 60 min, and the average burst size is about 31pfu/cell. Rate constant of reaction between antiserum and PaP3 is 262.

OBJECTIVE:To establish an RP-HPLC method for determination of the contents of oleinic acid and linolic acid in Brucea javanica oil. METHODS:The derivative fatty acid was obtained from extracting and separating process using ?-bromo-acetophenone as derivative reagent,K2CO3 as base and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent. The sample was separated on Shim-pack VP-ODS column(150 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m); the detection wavelength was set at 242 nm. The mobile phase consisted of methanol-acetonitrile-water(30∶20∶50). RESULTS:The linear ranges of oleinic acid and linolic acid were 0.025～1.0 mg?mL-1(r=0.999 6) and 0.1 ～ 0.8 mg?mL-1(r=0.999 0),respectively. The average recoveries were 98.54% and 98.50%,respectively,and their RSD were 1.81% and 1.90%,respectively (n=6 each). CONCLUSION:The method is accurate and specific,and it is applicable for the quality control of B.javanica oil.

Conclusion DVD coursewares with Chinese subtitles and English dubbing can be widely used in the teaching of child health care.

Three compounds were isolated from solid culture of endophyte Myrothecium roridum IFB-E091 in Artemisia annua. Their structures were determined as (S)-(-)-N-[2-(3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethyl]-acetamide (1), N-(4-hydroxyphenethyl)acetamide (2) and asperfumoid (3), in which compound 1 was a new indole derivative. In cytotoxicity assay, the compound 1 had no obvious inhibition activity in human hepatoma cell line SMMC-7721 and human cervical carcinoma cell line HeLa.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) or staphylococcal enterotoxin C (SEC) combining with dendritic cells (DC) on T cell functions and in vitro anti-HcaF tumor cytotoxicity of activated T cells. METHODS: S-100 protein expression in DC was detected by immune histochemistry staining. The expressions of I-E~? and CD80 molecules on DC, the expression of CD69 molecule on T cells and the production of IL-2 and TNF-? by T cells were determined with flow cytometry. The proliferation of T cells and its cytotoxicity to HcaF tumor cells were detected by MTT assay. RESULTS: In vitro experiments showed that isolated DC expressed high level of S-100 protein. SEB or SEC-induced DC highly expressed I-E~? and CD80 molecules and that SEB or SEC-induced DC promoted the activation and proliferation of T cells. 100 ?g/L of SEB or SEC was the most effective concentrations to induce T cells to secret IL-2 and TNF-?. The T cells activated by SEB or SEC combined with DC showed significant cytotoxicity to HcaF cells, appearing a stronger role than tumor antigen combined with DC. There was no difference in the role for T lymphocytes between both SEB and SEC. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that SEB or SEC combined with DC is an effective way to enhance T cell functions, producing stronger cytotoxicity to HcaF tumor cells than tumor antigen-loaded DC used at present, which offers a forceful evidence for the possibility of superantigen SEB or SEC combining with DC to be applied to clinical tumor immunotherapy.
