Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of early enteral nutrition by gastroscopeguided naso-jejunal feeding tube placement on the intestinal endotoxemia of patient with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Fourty-three patients were randomized into two groups:patients receiving early enteral nutrition (EN) by gastroscope-guided naso-jejunal feeding tube placement (24 cases) and those receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) ( 19 cases).The serum endotoxin(ET),albumin (ALB) and amylase (AMY) levels were measured.Abdominal distension and other complications were observed in the two groups.Results The abdominal pain and distension relief time,intestinal bleeding,infectious complications of EN group were significantly improved compared with that of TPN group ( P < 0.01 或 P < 0.05 或 P < 0.001 ).The serum ET levels of EN group was much lower ( [ 0.19 ± 0.11 ] EU/ml) than that of TPN group ( [ 0.85 ± 0.28 ] EU/ml)on day 14 post-treatment (t =10.456,P < 0.001 ).The serum AMY levels were decreased significantly in two groups after treatment,and the difference between two groups was not significant (t =3.l17,t =1.889,P >0.05 ).The serum ALB recovery of two groups was not significantly different ( P > 0.05 ).Conclusion Gastroscope-guided Naso-jejunal feeding tube placement for early enteral nutrition can protect intestinal mucosa,reduce complications,alleviate symptoms of patients with SAP,which are benefitial factors for the treatment of intestinal endotoxemia in patients with SAP.

Objective To construct bispecific antibody BsAb1/17 against both IL-1β and IL-17A,express and purify the biologically active BsAbl/17 protein in prokaryotic system for further studies and applications. Methods VH1VL17-CL and VL1VH17-CH1 gene segments were constructed by overlap-PCR.Restriction enzyme sites Nco Ⅰ and BamH Ⅰ were designed at the 5'and 3' end primers respectively. The products of overlap-PCR were ligated to the Nco Ⅰ/BamH Ⅰ -prepared pET-27b vector. The recombinant plasmids pET-27b-VH1 VL17-CL(petA) and pET-27b-VL1 VH17-CH1 ( petB ) were transformed into E. coliRosetta separately. The expressing products were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Neutralization activity of the bispecific antibody for blocking the induction of IL-18 expression by IL-1β in human T cells was determined by real-time PCR. Neutralization activity of the bispecific antibody for blocking the induction of IL-6 expression by IL-17A in HeLa cells was determined by ELISA assay. Results The structure of the plasmids pET-27b-VH1 VL17-CL(petA) and pET-27b-VL1 VH17-CH1 (petB)was confirmed by DNA sequencing. After induction, the fusion proteins were expressed mainly as inclusion bodies. The purity of the both proteins exceeded 90%. SDS-PAGE analysis suggests the relative molecular mass of both products expressed by petA and petB were approximately 38× 103, which is in accordance with the theoretical value. The results of Western blot and ELISA test demonstrated that BsAb1/17 molecule had binding ability to both IL-1β and IL-17A. The BsAb1/17 could block IL-1β to stimulate human T cell to express IL-18 and block IL-17A to stimulate HeLa cell to express IL-6. Conclusion We successfully constructed a novel bispecific antibody BsAb1/17 against both IL-1 β and IL-17A, and expressed biologically active BsAb1/17 protein in prokaryotic system.

Objective To investigate the safety and clinical response of dendritic cells (DC)vaccine loaded with HLA-A2-restricted peptides MAGE-3、 Tyr、 MART-1 and GP-100 against malignant melanoma. Methods Twenty three HLA-A2 positive patients with malignant melanoma were enrolled.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated into adherent cells for induction of DC loaded with four peptides. DC vaccine was administered subcutaneously once a week in inguinal region. The immunological responses and clinical responses were evaluated. Results Dendritic cell vaccination were well tolerated in all patients and there was no toxicity observed. Serum levels of IL-2, IL-12 and IFN-γincreased significantly after first vaccination and fourth vaccination. The positive rate of DTH test was 50% (5/10), and 2 fold increase of CD8+ IFN-γ+ cells were observed in 6 of 10 patients. Stable disease was observed in 11 of 23 patients, one patient had a complete metastasis regression, four patients had 50% regression of metastasis,four patients had a minor response, and disease progressed in three patients. Conclusion DC vaccines loaded with peptides MAGE-3、 Tyr、 MART-1 and GP-100 can elicit non-specific and specific immune responses, leading disease control. DC vaccine is considered one of safe and effective treatments for malignant melanoma.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the protective effect of Agaricus bisporus intracellular polysaccharides(IPS) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) on immunological liver injury induced by concanavalin A (Con A). METHODS Mice were pretreated with IPS and EPS (100, 200 and 400 mg kg- 1, ig) daily for 12 d. Immunological liver injury was induced by Con A 25 mg·kg-1 byinjection via the tail vein of mice.Eight hours after injection of Con A, the indexes of the liver, spleen and thymus, serum level of glutamicpyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon- γ (IFN- γ), splenic lymphocyte percentages of CD4 + and CD8 + , and liver homogenate content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Liver pathological changes were observed by HE staining. RESULTS Compared with normal group, the autoimmune liver injury in mice induced by Con A resulted in an increase in the liver index (P<0.01) , spleen index (P<0.01), the activity of GPT (P<0.01) and GOT (P<0.01), the content of TNF- α (P<0.01) and IFN- γ (P< 0.01), and the level of MDA (P<0.01), but a decrease in the thymus index (P<0.01), the percentage of CD4+ (P<0.01) , the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ (P<0.01), and SOD activity (P<0.01). Compared with model group, treatment with IPS (200 and 400 mg·kg-1) and EPS (200 and 400 mg·kg-1 ) respectively resulted in an increase in the thymus index (P<0.01) but in a decrease in the liver index and spleen index (P<0.01). Similarly, the activity of GOT and GPT was decreased obviously (P<0.01), and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ in IPS and EPS 200 and 400 mg·kg-1 groups was decreased. Compared with model group, the activity of SOD in IPS and EPS (200 and 400 mg·kg- 1) group was increased (P<0.01) while MDA was decreased (P<0.01). Moreover, the percentage of CD4 + Iymphocytes decreased (P<0.01), whereas no significant difference was found in the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + .Pathological changes of the liver were observed under a microscope. Pretreatment with IPS and EPS could effectively reduce the liver injury induced by Con A. CONCLUSION IPS and EPS have certain protective effect on immunological liver injury, which may be related to their ability to clean up free radicals, control lipid peroxidation and regulate the balance of the immune system.

Objective To explore the imaging characteristics of different sizes of MR small surface coil.Methods A water phantom with NiSO4· 6H2O for Siemens was scanned with 4 cm,7 cm and 11 cm small surface coils in Siemens 3.0 T MR system.T1WI,T2WI,three dimensional reversed fast imaging with steady state precession with diffusion-weighted(3D-PSIF-DWI) and three dimensional fast imaging with steady state precession and fat suppression(3D-FISP-FS) images were obtained.The imaging area,signal intensity (SI),standard deviation (SD) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) variations of different depths (from the near to the distant) were measured and compared.Curves according to the SI and SNR data were draw.SI and SNR characteristics of images obtained by L11 separately and used together with spine matrix coil were compared by using signed rank sum test.Results The signal intensity of images scanned by 4 cm,7 cm small surface coil decreased gradually in the depth of 0.2 to 2.2 cm,maintain good signal uniformity in the depth of 2.2 to 4.2 cm,and the signal intensity obtained by 11 cm coil maintain good signal uniformity in the depth of 5.2 cm.The optimum imaging widths of 4 cm,7 cm and 11 cm coil were about 7.0,8.5 and 11.0 cm.As the diameter of the coil increased,the imaging width and depth increased,but the received noise also increased.The SNR gradually reduced from the center to the edge of the coils.The imaging area increased but the local SNR decreased when using L11 coil combine with spine matrix coil,which showed a statistically significant difference (Z=-2.354,P=0.019).Conclusions A suitable size of small surface coil should be chosen according to the location and size of the organ or lesion before clinical MR examination.Other coils should be turned off to improve the SNR.
