1.PRELIMINARY STUDY OF T CELL SUBSETS AND T4/T8 DOUBLE LABELED CELLS IN CHRONIC HEPATITIS B PATIENTS
Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(05):-
11 patients with chronic hepatitisB virus(HBV)infection were studiedby enumeration of T cell subsetsin peripheral blood withStaphylococco-SRBC DoubleRosette Forming Technique.It was found that T_3~+ cell subsetwas higher and T_4/T_8 ratio was sig-nificantly lower in patients withchronic HBV infection than in con-rol and higher numbers of doublelabeled cells (expressing both T_4 andT_8 antigens) were also found in pa-tients with chronic HBV infection.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of central nervous system ( PCNS DLBCL). Methods The data of 70 patients with PCNS DLBCL confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Survival and prognostic analyses were further conducted in the 66 follow-up patients. Results Median age at diagnosis was 57 years old. The ratio of male and female was 1.3∶1. The time from having symptoms to seeking medical advice was less than 2 months in 54 (77.1%) patients. 44 (62.9 %) patients had increased intracranial pressure, and 26 (37.1 %) patients had limb weakness or hemiplegia symptoms. 37 (52.9%) patients were multiple lesions, 59 (84.3%) cases were supratentorial, and 46 (65.7%) cases showed involvement of deep-brain tissues. Among 66 follow-up patients 7 cases received supportive and palliative care, 27 cases received surgery, 6 cases received radiotherapy, 9 cases received chemotherapy alone, and 21 cases received radiotherapy in addition to chemotherapy. The median overall survival (OS) was 9 months (95 % CI 1-16 months), and the 2-year survival rate was 36.1 %. The median OSs of the supportive and palliative therapy group and the surgery group were 2 months and 3 months, respectively. The median OS of the chemotherapy, radiotherapy or combination group was 33 months (95%CI 22-43 months) and the 2-year OS rate was 56.9 %. The Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that the involvement of deep-brain tissues (P=0.04) and not receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy (P=0.00) were related to poor prognosis. Conclusions PCNS DLBCL is a highly aggressive and malignant tumor. Patients undergoing only surgery have poor effect and short survival. The patients with involvement of deep brain tissues have a poor prognosis. The chemotherapy, radiotherapy or combination of them may improve the prognosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations of early postoperative internal hernia. Methods Patients who were diagnosed with early postoperative small bowel obstruction(EPSBO)within 30 days after operation and underwent laparotomy between 1994 and 2006 were included for study.Clinical and radiological findings were analyzed. Results Totally 38 EPSBO patients were identined.among those,9 patients(23.7%)had an internal hera ag the cause of the howel obstruction.Other causes included intestinal adhesions in 27 patients(71.1%),gallstone ileus in 1 patient(2.6%)and stoma obstruction in 1 patient(2.6%).In the internal hernia group,6 cases were male and 3 cases were female witIl a mean age of 53.6 years.The mean time from the primary operation to symptom development was 7.8 d(range,2~17 d)and the mean time of conservative treatment Was 3.4 d(range,1~8 d).The main clinical features included:complete mechanical obstruction with symptoms rapidly progressing and early bowel strangulation.Specific radiologic abnormalities misht be identified,especially by contrast-enhanced CT.In this series,intestinal strangulation was found in 6 patients with bowel necrosis in 4 eases,necessitating howel resection in 5 patients.Wound infection developed in one cage and there was no perioperative death.Conclusion Internal hernia can occur early postoperatively and it bears a high risk of strangulation and bowel necrosis.Prompt operative intervention should be carried out in highly suspicious patients in order to avoid complications and achieve good outcome.

Objective:To investigate the serum level of C-C chemokine ligand 19 (CCL19)and its clinical significance in rheumatoid arthritis.Methods:The serum CCL19 levels in both rheumatoid ar-thritis (RA)patients and health controls were detected by ELISA.The proportion of peripheral blood B cells and memory B cell subsets were also detected in some patients.Then the clinical and laboratory data of the patients were collected.The CCL19 levels in patients with different clinical features were analyzed. And the correlation between the clinical data,laboratory parameters,B cell subsets proportion and serum CCL19 levels were also analyzed.Independent samples t test,paired t test,Pearson and Spearman corre-lation were used for statistical analysis.Results:The levels of CCL19 was higher in the RA patients than the health controls (P <0.05).The serum CCL19 levels were decreased in the RA patients who accep-ted disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)treatment for 6 months (P <0.001 ).Serum CCL19 levels were correlated with the titers of both rheumatoid factor (RF)and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP)antibody (r =0.42,P =0.002;r =0.33,P =0.013),but not with erythrocyte sedi-mentation rate (ESR),C-reactive protein (CRP)and disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28)(P >0.05).The levels of CCL19 were higher in the serum positive (RF and anti-CCP antibody)patients,but there were no differences between low and high disease activity RA,as well as early and non-early RA. There was no correlation between the serum CCL19 levels and the proportion of B cells as well as memory B subsets.All the proportion of peripheral blood CD27 + memory B cell subsets in RA was lower than the healthy controls,including CD27 +IgD +,CD27 +IgD - and CD27 + B cells.Conclusion:The increased serum CCL19 levels in RA patients are associated with the activity of B cells,so CCL19 might predict whether the RA type is a B cell mediated RA,and specify the treatment directions for the rheumatologist.

Objective:
To investigate the effects of artesunate combined with bortezomib on the proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy of human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines MV4-11, and its mechanisms.
Methods:
MTT method was used to determine the anti-proliferation effect of different concentrations of artesunate, bortezomib and their combination on MV4-11 cells. The cell apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expression of cleaved-Caspase-3, Bcl-2 family protein (Bcl-2, Mcl-1, Bim, Bax) and autophagy-related protein LC3B were assayed by Western blot.
Results:
Artesunate displayed a proliferation inhibition effect on MV4-11 with dose- and time-dependent manner, the IC50 of artesunate on MV4-11 after 48 hours was 1.44 μg/ml. Bortezomib displayed a proliferation inhibition effect on MV4-11 with dose-dependent manner, the IC50 of bortezomib on MV4-11 after 48 hours was 8.97 nmol/L. The combination of artesunate (0.75, 1.0 μg/ml) and Bortezomib (6, 8 nmol/L) showed higher inhibition on MV4-11 than artesunate or bortezomib alone in the same concentration gradient after 48 hours (
