Thyroid microsomal antigen-antibody(TMAg-Ab)system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid diseases.TMAb are involved in the complementmediated cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cytotoxicity,resulting in thyroid follicle epithelial cell and basement membrane injury,followed by thyroiditis and hypothyroidism,and they may also cause hyperthyroidism through some unknown mechanisms.In recent years,indirect hemagglutination,radioimmunoassay and enzyme-inked immunosorbent assay have been used to detect TMAb in thyroid disease patients'sera,indicating the incidence as high as 90%.Measurements of T3,T4 and TSH alsoreveal that serum TMAb level is related with the variation of T3,T4 and TSH.It ispostulated that TMAg might be the lipoprotein on smooth endoplasmic reticulum ofthyroid follicle epithelial cell.Due to the difficulties to purify TMAg,its nature stillremains unclear.

The serum thyroid microsomal antibodies (TMAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb) were measured in 103 normal persons and 183 patients with different thyroid diseases by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The serum T3 and T4 were also tested. The results showed that the incidence of these two autoantibodies were obviously increased in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, and normal in simple goiter and thyroid adenoma. The TMAb and TGAb levels in subacute thyroiditis and thyroid cancer were moderately increased. There were also a negative correlation between TMAb and T3, T4, TGAb and T4 in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

BACKGROUND:Repair of large-area burns and severe post-traumatic skin defects has always been urgent clinical breakthrough technology bottleneck. With the development of tissue engineering, epidermal stem cel s are increasingly being used in tissue engineering, cel replacement therapy and genetic engineering. Therefore, the isolation and identification of epidermal stem cel s is becoming the research focus of concern.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress in biological markers of epidermal stem cel s.
METHODS:The Chinese Biomedical Literature database, CNKI database, China Academic Journals Ful-text database, PubMed database and EMbase database were retrieved for articles about specific markers of epidermal stem cel s using the keywords of“epidermal stem cel s, integrin, keratin, P63, CD71, telomerase, ACE, cx43, hoechst”in Chinese and English. Older theoretical perspectives and repetitive research were excluded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Final y, only 40 articles were included in result analysis. Epidermal stem cel s bring a new source for skin tissue repair. Epidermal stem cel s distribute in the fol icle eminence and basal layer of the epidermis. About 4%cel s in the basal layer, however, are stem cel s. Therefore, it is critical to correctly isolate, culture and identify skin stem cel s. As a reason, specific markers of epidermal stem cel s become a hotspot. Currently, a great progress in the biological markers of epidermal stem cel s has been made, but there is stil no absolute and proven marker for epidermal stem cel s. Most studies are focusing on integrin, keratin, P63, CD71, connexin 43, and telomerase. In addition, hoechst, CD90, CD98, CD200 have been reported recently. Each marker has its own shortcomings, and there are stil many problems that need to be solved.

BACKGROUND:Recently, the biodegradable materials with good biocompatibility and with no adverse reaction have been widely applied in the clinical treatment and care of gynecology and obstetrics. The development of the biodegradable material is very rapid. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the application of biodegradable materials in gynecology and obstetrics. METHODS: The first author searched PubMed and CNKI databases for articles related to biodegradable materials in gynecology and obstetrics using the keywords of “degraded materials, biodegradable materials, gynecological care, surgery” in Chinese and English respectively. This article has an outlook of the potential application in gynecology and obstetrics based on clinical experience. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Biodegradable materials with good biocompatibility and biological security play an important role in biomedical materials. Their polymers and degradation products show smal adverse reactions to the body, and have good biomechanical properties, physical and chemical properties and good workability, which have been widely used in gynecology and obstetrics, such as absorbable stylolite and tampon tape. Although we have made a great progress on the biomaterial research, it stil has the limitation and safety flaws in the clinic. As the biomaterial research is further developed, the biomaterial application prospect wil be more promising.

Olive oil is one of the important byproducts in agriculture. It is rich in oleuropein, which can be hydrolyzed into several bioactive phenolic compounds, including hydroxytyrosol (HT).There are many literatures have been confirmed that HT has significant pharmacological effects in the anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, regulation of metabolic disorders and treatment of degenerative diseases. However, HT has severe instability in vivo and in vitro. It is a challenge how to improve its stability through structural transformation or utilization of pharmaceutical means to processing. This paper will focus on biological activity of HT and its stability improvement, and provid some new ideas for expanding the research and promoting the development of HT in the field of Medicine.

Objective To detect the expression of interlenkin-22 (IL-22) and relative CD4+ T cell subsets in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC),and to explore their roles in the pathogenesis of UC.Methods Thirty-five adult UC patients were enrolled in this study and 35 healthy subjects were taken as control.Plasma IL-22 level was quantified by ELISA.The percentages of Th1,Th17 and Th22 cells in peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry.The relationships of these results and disease activity were analyzed.Results Plasma IL-22 levels in UC patients [ (354.12±104.22 ) pg/ml ]were significantly higher than that of healthy controls ( P＜0.05 ),and the levels increased significantly in severely active patients.The percentages of Th17 cells in UC patients [ (2.36±0.94) ％ ]were elevated compared to healthy controls ( P＜0.05 ),and the percentages increased significantly in moderately active and severely active patients.The percentages of Th22 cells in UC patients [ (2.27±0.87 ) ％ ]were elevated compared to healthy controls (P±0.05),and the percentages increased significantly in severely active patients.The percentage of Th1 cells was not significantly different between UC patients and normal controls.ConclusionOur resuits demonstrate elevated IL-22 correlated to Th17 and Th22 cells may play an important role in the immunopathogenesis of UC.

AIM and METHODS: After the fine carbon fiber powder was injected into the right subdural space of the mice, dynamic observation was carried out on their movement and histopathological changes. RESULTS: 1-52 weeks after the injecting, no neurological changes concerning with the implanting of the carbon fiber powder were found in the experimental mice. The fine carbon fiber extensively located on the inter surface of the dura mater membrane of the right temporalis and the out surface of pie mater. Only slight inflammatory cells reaction was found under optical microscopes. The degree of inflammation reaction are Grade Ⅱ 1 week after injection and was Grade Ⅰ 2 weeks after injection, inflammation was disappeared 4 weeks after injection. No obvious fiber membrane was found around the implanted materials. No significant differences were found between the experimental and the control group.CONCLUSION: It was showed that the carbon fiber shares excellent histocompatibility after injected into the subdural space and subarechnoid cavity of the right temple of mice.
