To investigate the expression change of BDNF in lamina II of spinal cord from partial deafferented cats, L6 segmentsof spinal cord from 20 adult male cats (5 normal cats, 15 unilateral L6 spared roots cats allowed to survive 3 d, 6 d and 12 d re-spectively) were stained with immunohistochemical technique. The results showed: BDNF positive products were mainly dis-tributed in nerve terminals, varicosities and few neurons of spinal cord lamina II in normal cat. After operation, the density ofpositive nerve terminals and varicosities began to decrease on the third day, reached the lowest level on the 6th day and recoveredto normal level on the 12th day on operated side. But the number of BDNF neurons showed no obvious change. The authors sug-gest that the decreased density of BDNF positive products in lamina II on the 3rd and 6th day was related with the degenerationof the nerve fibers and varicosities after section of the adjacent dorsal roots. On the 12th day, the remaining L6 dorsal roots un-derwent collateral sprouting compensatoryly and reestablished functional connection with target neurons. Therefore, BDNF maybe involved in the normal physiological function and the plasticity of spinal cord after damage.

Objective To observe the effects of low dose irradiation (LDI) on autoiogous CIK cell proliferation, phenotype and killing activity in tumor patients, and to provide the evidence for clinical application of adoptive immunotherapy with CIK cells. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated from 10 patients with malignant tumor, and CIK cells were cultured with different cytokines. (1) After 10 d culture, C1K cells were irradiated with different doses as 30, 50, 80, 100 and 200 Gy of X-rays was also detected. The CIK cell proliferation and killing activity were measured with 3H-TdR incorporation assay and 3H-TdR release assay, respectively and the percentage variation of CD3 +CD56 + were measured with flow cytometry after 24 h. ( 1 ) Autologous CIK cells were irradiated with 80 mGy X-rays. At different culture time ( 12, 24, 48, 72 h) after irradiation, the killing activity was measured with 3H-TdR release assay. (3) The effect of 3d low dose irradiation of 80 mGy X-rays on thekilling activity of CIK cells was also detected. Results After the CIK cells were irradiated with different doses as 50, 80, 100, 200 mGy of X-rays, the CPM values were 20 048.6 ± 2332. 2 ( t = 2.2, P ＜0.05), 21 832.2 ±2975.9 (t=3.5, P＜0.01), 21 000.3 ±2451.1 (t=3.3, P＜0.01), 19908.1 ±2051.0 ( t = 2.2, P ＜ 0.05 ), respectively and the proliferation of CIK cells were significantly higher than that of control group. The CD3 + CD56 + cell percentage of 50, 80, 100 mGy groups were ( 30.3 ±3.8)% (t=2.3, P＜0.05), (32.3±3.4)% (t=4.2, P＜0.01), (29.742.9)% (t = 2.4, P＜0.05 ), respectively. The killing activity of CIK cells of 80, 100 mGy groups were 55.2 ± 5.0 ( t = 3.3, P ＜ 0.01 ), 52.8 ± 4.1 ( t = 2.3, P ＜ 0.05 ), respectively. The killing activity of CIK cells up-regulated significantly at 24 h, dropped to normal levels at 48 h and 72 h. After 80 mGy X-ray irradiation for 3 consecutive days, the killing activity of CIK cells at different time points were 55.2 ± 5.3 (t = 2.6, P ＜0.05),61.9 ± 4.4 (t = 4.7, P ＜0.01), 67.2 ±5.7 (t = 5.7, P ＜0.01) for 24, 48, 72 h,respectively. Conclusions LDI might have the hormesis effect on CIK cells.

AIM: To investigate the anti-cancer effect of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) activated by sensitized dendritic cells (DCs). METHODS: Immature DCs were induced in vitro from peripheral blood monocytic cells (PBMC) and sensitized by adding tumor cells antigen extract. DCs were identified by their morphology and surface markers. MTT assay was used to evaluate the killing activity of CTL activated by sensitized DCs. The effects of specific CTL cells on inhibiting transplanted tumor HT-29 growth and on preventing HT-29 tumor generation were evaluated by injecting CTL into nude mice. RESULTS: After cultured for seven days, a large number of activated DCs were obtained with typical morphology, extensive stimulatory proliferation capacity and high CD80 (63.5%), CD83 (67.6%) and CD3/HLA-DR (83.2%) expressions. The killing activity of CTL at 20∶1 ratio of effective cells to target cells was more than 75% to tumor cells, 35%-45% to homologous cell line and weaker to other germ cell line (P

OBJECTIVE: To study the association of the vitamin D receptor gene BSM Ⅰ, TAQ Ⅰ and APA Ⅰ genetic polymorphisms with bone mineral density and biochemical markers of bone turnover in postmenopausal women.METHODS: ①total of 576 postmenopausal Han ethnic women of 48-84 (62.17±6.37) years old in Fuzhou city were investigated, on the basis of their informed consent, through random sampling method from January 2007 to December 2008. ②The subjects were recorded regarding to their age, menopause duration, body mineral index and postmenopausal fracture incidence. ③Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was used for measuring the bone mineral density of vertebrae L<,2-4>, left femoral neck, trochanter and Ward's triangle. ④The genetic polymorphisms of vitamin D receptor gene BSM Ⅰ, TAQ Ⅰ and APA Ⅰ were detected using polymerase chain reaction-rastriction and fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. ⑤The biochemical markers of bone turnover (serum bone gla protein, serum bone alkaline phosphatase, urinary pyddinoline and urinary deoxypyridinoline) were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS: A total of 561 subjects up to standard were involved in the result analysis. ①There was no significant difference in bone mineral density among genotypes of vitamin D receptor gene BSM Ⅰ, TAQ Ⅰ and APA Ⅰ polymorphisms (P > 0.05). ②There was no significant difference in the biochemical markers of bone tumover among genotypes of BSM Ⅰ, TAQ Ⅰ and APA Ⅰ polymorphisms (P > 0.05). ③There was no significant difference in the incidence of osteoporosis among genotypes of BSM Ⅰ, TAQ Ⅰ and APA Ⅰ polymorphisms (P > 0.05). ④There was no significant difference in the incidence of postmenopausal fracture among genotypes of BSM Ⅰ, TAQ Ⅰ and APA Ⅰ polymorphisms (P > 0,05).CONCLUSION: BSM Ⅰ, TAQ Ⅰ and APA Ⅰ polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor gene are not obviously associated with osteoporesis in postmenopausal women, and accordingly can not be taken as genetic markers of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in Fuzhou.

Objective To investigate the reasons of tracheobronchial tuberculosis misdiagnosis and its clinical charac?teristics as well as the diagnostic value of bronchoscope. Methods Clinical data of 92 cases of misdiagnosis of tracheobron?chial tuberculosis by electronic bronchoscopy in our department from January 2006 to January 2012 were analyzed retrospec?tively. Bronchoscopy, endoscopic biopsy, brushing, lavage and radiological images were all compared. Results Clinical symptoms and laboratory tests showed no specificity in diagnostic value;Chest X-ray was not typical. Bronchial stenosis was seen in 45 cases(48.9%)and bronchial obstruction was seen in 6 cases(6.5%)as shown in chest CT while no abnormality in the bronchus was seen in 41 cases(44.6%). Bronchoscopy revealed 28 cases (30.4%) of inflammatory infiltration, 14 cas?es (15.2%) of necrotizing ulceration, 35 cases (38.0%) of granulation hyperplasia and 15 cases (16.3%) of Scar stricture. En?doscopic biopsy confirmed 56 cases (60.9%), while bronchoscopic brushing and examination of acid-fast bacillus approved 32 cases (34.8%). Then, bronchoscopic lavage of acid-fast bacillus verified 39 cases (42.4%). Lastly, tuberculosis bacterium culture ascertained 75 cases (81.5%). Conclusion Bronchoscopy of local lesion with brush, lavage and biopsy is the most sensitive and specific diagnostic method to diagnose tracheobronchial tuberculosis. It has great clinical value in preventing tracheobronchial tuberculosis misdiagnosis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between bone mineral density(BMD)and the PXh haplotype combining estrogen receptor (ER) gene Xba Ⅰ , Pvu Ⅱ polymorphisms and osteocalcin gene Hind Ⅲ polymorphism in postmenopausal women.Methods In 307 subjects,the BMD of lumbar vertebrae and proximal femur were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and the Xba Ⅰ and Pvu Ⅱ polymorphisms of ER gene and the Hind Ⅲ potymorphism of osteocalcin gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).Results (1)The BMD of greater trochanter was significantly lower in XX genotype group than in xx genotype group ( P<0.05).The BMD of femoral neck, greater trochanter and Ward's triangle were lower in Xx genotype group[(0.695±0.087)g/cm2 , (0.592±0.106)g/cm2, (0.500±0.115) g/cm2] and X allele group[(0.697±0.088)g/cm2 , (0.594±0.105)g/cm2, (0.505±0.123)g/cm2] than in xx genotype group[(0.737±0.108) g/cm2,(0.653±0.119)g/cm2 ,(0.554±0.130)g/cM2] and non-X allele group[(0.737 ± 0.108) g/CM2, (0.653 ± 0.119) g/cm2 , (0.554 ± 0.130) g/cm2] ,respectively (all P<0.05 ).(2)The BMD of Ward's triangle was lower in PP genotype group and P allele group than in pp genotype group and non-P allele group (P<0.05).(3)The BMD of femoral neck, greater trochanter and Ward's triangle were lower in hh genotype group and h allele group than in I-IH genotype group, and were lower in non-h allele group than in HH genotype group(all P<0.05).(4)Women carrying PX, PXh haplotypes combining ER gene and osteocalcin gene had lower BMD at femoral neck than those not carrying PX,not carrying PXh haplotypes, respectively (all P<0.05).ConclusionsER gene(Xba Ⅰ) polymorphism and osteocalein gene(Hind Ⅲ) polymorphism are associated with BMD in postmenopausal women.The presence of X allele or h allele　shows negative influence on the BMD of postmenopausal women.The PXh haplotype is a suitable　genetic marker of postmenopausal women osteoporosis in Fuzhou area.
