AimTo explore the kinetic change of the IgG,T-cell subsets and IL-2 level from the mice infected with T. Spiralis. Methods The level of specific IgG A band IL-2 was determined by ELISA,the percentage of CD4+and CD8+ T-cells were examined by flow cytometry on 7, 14,21,28,35 days after mice infected with T. spiralis respectively. ResultAfter infected with T. spiralis,the level of IgG in mice rised gradually,and reached its peak on the 35th day. The change of T-cell subsets showed that CD4+T cells decreased,which CD8+Tcells increased. The ration of CD4+/CD8+cells decreased,and which was the obvious on the 14thday. It did not recover to normal level even on the 35th day. The IL-2 of level reached the peak on the 7th day after infected,then IL-2 level decreased quickly and lower than that of normal mice on 35th day after infected. Conclusion When the acute phase of T. spiralis infection,the immune function of host was inhibited. The protective immunity of against T. spiralis infection was cellular immunity mainly ,in cooperation with humoral immunity.

Objective To study the immune response induced by the mice immunized with Trichinella spiralis(T.spiralis) adult worm soluble antigen(AWSAg). Methods T.spiralis AWSAg was prepared to immunize Kunming strain mice. Dynamic changes of IgG, IL 2 and T lymphocyte subsets from immunized mice were determined after challenge infection on d 7, d 14 , d 21 , d 28 and d 35 . Results On d 7 after challenge infection, IgG and CD4 + T cells of immunized group were markedly elevated and persisted higher over the observation period. In contrast, CD4 + T cells and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly decreased in unimmunized group resulted from immune suppression after infection. IL 2 levels reached the peak on d 7 and persisted in high level from d 7-d 21 in both immunized and unimmunized group after infection, then decreased gradually. Till 35 days after infection, IL 2 level was still higher than the normal mice. Conclusion Mice immunized with AWSAg of T. spiralis produced a potential cellular and humoral immune response.

This study was aimed to optimize the extraction process of resveratrol by central composite design (CCD) and response surface method (RSM), based on the result of single factor experiment. Resveratrol was extracted from Polygonum cuspidatum by water bath extraction of organic solvent. And content of resveratrol was taken as index in the investigation of solvent concentration effect, extraction time and solvent content on extraction process. The results showed that the optimum condition was 12.7 times amount of 72.0% ethanol and extract for 2 times under the temperature of 50℃, 1.1 h for each time; the average deviation between the maximum theoretical value and measured value was 0.83%. It was concluded that this extraction process was highly predictive, which provided experimental evidence for the industrial production of P. cuspidatum extraction.

Objective To explore the value of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy(SRS) in evaluating the immune activity of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor associated with systemic vasculitis.Methods Twenty-five patients with orbital inflammatory pseudotumor associated with systemic vasculitis (10 males,15 females,average age:(51.2± 14.2) years) underwent SRS.The uptake ratio (UR) of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor was obtained.(1) Patients were divided into group A (with immune activity) and group B (without immune activity) according to Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS).The difference of UR between the 2 groups was compared by two-sample t test.The difference of UR before and after treatment in 12 patients was also compared.(2) Based on the results by BVAS,ROC curve was used to obtain the cut-off value of UR,as well as the diagnostic efficiency and Youden index.The consistency between SRS and BVAS was calculated.(3)Patients were divided into two groups according to the cut-off value of UR and the prognosis difference between them was compared by Fisher exact test.(4)The expression of SSTR2 and SSTR5 was observed by immunohistochemistry.Results (1) UR in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (2.09±0.44 vs 1.32±0.46,t =5.94,P＜0.01).After glucocorticoids treatment,the UR in group A reduced significantly (t=4.07,P＜0.01),but not in group B (t=1.76,P＞0.05).(2)ROC curve analysis identified UR cut-off value as 1.66,with the sensitivity of 87.5％,specificity of 95.7％,positive predictive value of 95.2％,negative predictive value of 88.0％,accuracy of 91.3％ and Youden index of 83.2％.The consistency between SRS and BVAS was strong (Kappa =0.840).(3) The prognosis was significantly different between patients with UR≥ 1.66 and UR＜1.66 (P＜0.05).(4) The immunohistochemical results revealed high expression of SSTR2 and SSTR5 in inflammatory cells in patients with immune activity.Conclusion SRS has potential value in evaluating the immune activity of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor associated with systemic vasculitis.

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite that infects all warm?blooded animals. The surface anti?gens of T. gondii with the potential for application as antigens of diagnosis and vaccines have been studied extensively in recent years especially for P43 P35 P30 P23 and P22. The studies on the surface antigen in tachyzoites of T. gondii are reviewed in this paper.

As the neuron-specific actin binding protein,Drebrin ( developmentally regulated brain protein) can affect spiny and synaptic morphology and function by changing the property of cytoskeleton,and modulate synaptic plasticity. Neural excitability regulates expression and activitiy of Drebrin through a variety of signaling molecules,making Drebrin' s function correlated with that of neurons. Under pathological conditions,the abnormal Drebrin affects synaptic plasticity,which leads to different degrees of cognitive dysfunction,and it is closely relates to the progress of cognitive dysfunction. Extensive studies of physiological and pathological functions of Drebrin in overall and molecular ways will not only contribute to a thorough understanding of cognitive dysfunction,but also develop the new target of therapeutics for cognitive dysfunction.

Objective To comparatively analyze Toxoplasma gondii separated from HIV-positive people and RH strain GRA6 gene. Methods By using the nested PCR the amplification of Dali HIV-positive blood samples and RH strains of Toxo-plasma GRA6 genome was performed. The GRA6 gene amplification positive product was selected and the electrophoresis imag-ing was performed by being digested with the Mse I endonuclease and the gene sequences were measured and analyzed. Re-sults The GRA6 gene fragment 800 bp was successfully amplified and about 600 bp and 200 bp bands were got by Mse I. The sequencing results showed that T. gondii GRA6 gene positive samples had 2 nucleotide variation compared with T. gondii strain RH namely 447 base pair at C becoming G and 623 base pair at G becoming T. At 146 bp and 690 bp the Mse I restric-tion sites TTAA were found. Conclusion The preliminary judgment shows that the Dali HIV-positive T. gondii genotype is consistent with RH strain belonging to genotype I.

Objective:To compare immune effects of hepatitis B-BCG combined vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine.Methods:The vaccines were administered to the guinea pig at 0, 1, 2 months. The tests were divided into three parts. The immune effects were compared in three kinds of the combined vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine(Part One), in three lots of the combined vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine(Part Two), in the group of combined vaccine and the group of hepatitis B vaccine and BCG(Part Three). After 1 month of each vaccine dose, serum specimens were measured for anti-HBs by ELISA.Results:The several studies have documented the serum anti-HBs concentritious in the group of combined vaccine in first dose were lower than those of the group of control, and the data showed no significantly difference. However, anti-HBs levels of the combined vaccine group in second vaccine dose and third vaccine dose were higher than those of the control group, and this difference was no longer statistically significant in group of combined vaccine and control, and among groups of combined vaccine.Conclusion:The immune efficacy of HBsAg in group of combined vaccine is similar to the group of hepatitis B vaccine in three doses immunization schedules.
