AIM: Humanized-NOD/SCID(hu-NOD/SCID) mouse model was established and the level of immune reconstitution was assessed in this model. METHODS: Mononuclear cells (MNC) and CD34+ cells were isolated or sorted from cord blood(CB). Human CD45, CD19, CD3 markers on cells from NOD/SCID murine peripheral blood(PB), bone marrow(BM), thymus were detected by FCM from 4 to 10 weeks after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. After 10 weeks, the gene expressions of the human ?2M and RAG2 were detected by RT-PCR in PB or bone marrow of mice model. RESULTS: Human CD45, CD19, CD3 cells populations in PB and BM were found by flow cytometry in mice model transplanted with CD34+ cells or CB MNC from 4 to 10 weeks. The highest positivity of human lymphocytes was at 8 week after transplantation. The levels of human cell engraftment in mice transplanted with CD34+ cells were higher than those in mice transplanted with CB MNC. The mRNA of human ?2M and RAG2 were found by RT-PCR in BM.CONCLUSION: The higher level of human lymphocyte engraftment is established in NOD/SCID mouse model transplanted with CD34+ compared with CB MNC. The maturation of T lymphocytes could be happened in bone marrow of mice model.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of aort-oesophageal fistula(AEF).Methods Retropective analysis was performed on 6 patients presenting with AEF between January 2002 and December 2014,and relative literature was reviewed on its pathogenesis,di-agnosis,prognosis and treatment.Results Five men and 1 woman with a mean age of 49 (range,27-71 years)were recruited to the study.One case of AEF was caused by esophageal foreign body,2 cases were caused by aneurysm while the other 3 patients presented AEF after aortic surgery.All 6 patients showed he-matemesis,among whom 3 presented sentinel hemorrhage,1 presented exsanguination after sentinel hemor-rhage,2 presented sudden exsanguination.Among 4 patients with sentinel hemorrhage,2 accompanied with chest pain,1 with dysphagia and 1 with fever.Two patients had a history of hypertension.Diagnostic rate was nearly 100% by gastroscopy or CT/CTA.Four patients died from hemorrhagic shock and 2 patients re-covered from surgery.Conclusion AEF should be seriously considered for patients with a history of hyper-tension,aortic disease or esophageal foreign body presenting sentinel hemorrhage,chest pain,dysphagia,fa-tal exsanguination followed by symptom-free interval.Prompt examinations and aggressive surgery are of great significance for survival.

Objective: To study the correlation between the blood routine indicators and CD₄⁺ T, CD₈⁺ T lymphocytes in AIDS patients without antiviral treatment, and to find a simple, cheap and effective monitoring indicator. Methods: A study of 333 AIDS patients without antiviral treatment was performed.The methods of regression analysis and other statistical methods were applied to research the correlation between WBC, W-SCC and CD₄⁺ T, CD₈⁺ T cell count among HIV/AIDS. Results: The rate of routine blood abnormalities among 333 HIV/AIDS patients was very high, the main test indicators within the reference range only accounted for 30.63%.The proportion of late diagnosis infected with HIV among women was higher than that of males.Significant correlations were observed between CD₄⁺ Tcell count and WBC, W-SCC, W-LCC, RBC, HGB, PLT(r=0.408, 0.541, 0.157, 0.337, 0.338, 0.166). The equation between W-SCC (x) and CD₄⁺ cell count (y) was y=120.913x+ 90.339. Conclusion There is a strong correlation between CD₄⁺ T lymphocyte count and lymphocyte count in AIDS patients without antiviral treatment.It can be used as an important indicator of immune status in patients with AIDS.At the same time, we should strengthen the propaganda of AIDS prevention, promote AIDS early detection, early treatment, and improve the quality of life of AIDS patients.

Objective To observe Shenci capsule's effect on immunologic function and hematological tox-icity of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.Methods 60 cases of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were chosen and divided into the therapy group and the control group randomly with 30 cases in each group respectively. While patients in the control group were administered simple GP chemotherapy regime, patients in the therapy group were administered Shenci capsule treatment orally in addition to the therapy in the control group.Comparisons were made of the variations in the subgroup of T lymphocyte(including the absolute val-ue of CD3+cell,the absolute value of CD4+cell,the absolute value of CD8+cell and CD4+/CD8+ratio)of hematology before and after chemotherapy between the two groups of patients. Results No significant discrepancy was found in the comparison of the absolute value of CD3+cell,the absolute value of CD4+cell,the absolute value of CD8+cell and CD4+/CD8+ratio before the chemotherapy between the two groups(P > 0.05)and the absolute value of CD3+cell,and the absolute value of CD4+cell of both groups decreased significantly after the chemotherapy(P<0.05), especially in the control group(P < 0.05). The hematological toxicity of the therapy group was lower than that in the control group(P < 0.05)after the chemotherapy. Conclusion Shenci capsule was capable of enhancing the body immunity in advanced non-small cell lung cancer and alleviating hematological toxicity.
