Objective To analyze the imaging features and follow-up changes of high-resolution CT(HRCT) in Goodpasture syndrome.Methods HRCT imaging features and follow-up findings of 15 cases Goodpasture syndrome confirmed by clinical were analyzed retrospectrively.The imaging features included extent,forms and follow-up changes.Results The lung lesion of Goodpasture syndrome involved two lobes(n=1), three lobes(n=2), four lobes(n=5) and five lobes (n=7).Upper lobe of the right lung was the most common involved region.Centered on the hilum of lung consolidations confused ground glass opacity (GGO) were showed in 7 cases, GGO distribution of pulmonary leaflets in 5 cases.On follow-up observation, lobar or segmental consolidation could change into GGO,GGO could disappear in short times.Conclusion Multiple lobar or segmental consolidations confused GGO without the lung bottom and periphery involvement is the imaging characteristics of Goodpasture syndrome patients with anemia and hemoptysis.HRCT is a helpful method for the diagnosis and following up of Goodpasture syndrome.

The potential effect of donor CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T ceLls on the suppression of rejection for allogenetic islet transplantation in vivo was investigated. CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells were generated by magnetic activated cell sorting and were ailogeneically transfered with islet transplantation in streptozotocin-induced diabetic BALB/cByJ mice. The results showed that allogeneic CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells prolong islet graft survival and normoglycemia in transplanted allogeneic diabetic mice.

Objective To identify the differentially expressed microRNAs in the early transformed cells,the late transformed cells and their parental BEP2D cells.Methods The differentially expressed microRNAs in the above cells were identified by microRNAs microarray assay.Results There were 38differentially expressed microRNAs in R15H20 cells versus BEP2D cells,with 18 upregulated and 20downregulated microRNAs.R15H20 and RHT35 cells shared 25 differentially expressed microRNAs compared with BEP2D cells,with 15 down-regulated and 10 up-regulated microRNAs.There were 87differentially expressed microRNAs in RHT35 cells versus BEP2D cells,with 47 upregulated and 40 downregulated microRNAs.There were 38 differentially expressed microRNAs in RHT35 cells versus R15H20 cells with 20 upregulated and 18 downregulated microRNAs.Conclusions microRNAs are differentially expressed in the different stages of carcinogenesis of BEP2D cells induced by α particles,which suggests that microRNAs may play an important role in α particle-induced malignant transformation of BEP2D cells.

Objective:To explore the effect of paclitaxel (PTX) and cisplatin (DDP) on the expression of NKG2D ligands of hu-man esophagus carcinoma cell EC9706 and on the cytotoxicity of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, as well as to discuss its molecu-lar mechanisms. Methods: The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of PTX and DDP against EC9706 cells for 24 h were measured by MTT assay. The expression levels of NKG2D ligands (MICA, MICB, ULBP1, ULBP2, and ULBP3) on the EC9706 cell surface before and after 24 h culture with 1/2 IC50 of PTX or DDP were assayed by flow cytometry. Cytotoxicity of CIK cells against EC9706 cells before and after 24 h culture with 1/2 IC50 PTX or DDP was analyzed by lactate dehydrogenase release assay at an effector to target cell ratio (E:T) of 20:1 and 30:1, respectively. The expression levels of DNA damage repair genes (ATM, ATR, CHK1, CHK2, and p53) of EC9706 cells before and after 24 h incubation with 1/2 IC50 PTX or DDP were detected by quantitative fluorescent PCR. Results:The IC50 values of PTX and DDP were 10 and 5μg/mL, respectively. MICB, ULBP2, and ULBP3 on EC9706 cells were upregulated after 24 h culture with 1/2 IC50 PTX (P<0.05), and the expression levels of MICA, MICB, ULBP2, and ULBP3 were higher after 24 h culture with 1/2 IC50 DDP (P<0.05). Cytotoxicity of CIK cells against EC9706 cells cultured with 1/2 IC50 of PTX or DDP at E:T of 20:1 and 30:1 was significantly enhanced compared with those untreated (P<0.05). The expression levels of DNA damage repair genes did not significantly increase after 24 h treatment with 1/2 IC50 PTX (P>0.05), whereas ATM, ATR, CHK1, and CHK2 were over-expressed after 24 h treatment with 1/2 IC50 DDP (P<0.05). Conclusion:PTX or DDP can enhance the susceptibility of EC9706 cells to CIK cell-mediated lysis by upregulating the expression of NKG2D ligands through activating DNA damage repair genes.

Objective To investigate the relationship between TNF-α, IFN-γand intestinal muco-sal permeability in a mouse colitis model and its inhibiting effect by balsalazide. Methods Forty-five C57BL/6J mice were divided randomly into five groups. Normal group was only fed with distilled water, DSS group and balsalazide groups at doses of 42, 141,423 mg/kg were both fed with 5% DSS. Balsalazide was given by intragastric administration. At the end of the experiment, colon tissue was collected for assessment of histological index(HI) and the MPO activity. Small intestinal mucosa was collected for assessment of the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ,transmission electron microscope(TEM), and detection of permeability by Ev-arts blue method. Results Compared with normal group, DSS group mice all manifested severe weight loss associated with hematocbezia and diarrhea, HI score, and the colon MPO activity and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ were increased significantly. Intestinal mucosa showed a thinning of microvillous carpet, with de-curtated and broaden junctional complex and enlarged intercollutar space under TEM observations. The amount of Evans blue permeated into intestinal wall was obvious. Compared with DSS group, the HI score, the MPO activity and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ were decreased by balsalazide. The amount of Evans blue permeated into intestinal wall was less. Ileal microvillous carpet was ameliorated dose dependently by balsalazide. Conclusion In DSS-induced colitis model, the change of the content of the TNF-α and IFN-γ, was accordance with the increase of intestinal mucosal permeability while balsalazide can significantly amelio-rate intestinal mucosal permeability by its anti-colitis effect.

Objective To explore the effect of radon and its progeny on the expression and mutations of p53 in lung tissue of mouse model. Methods Apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidy transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling. The expression of p53 gene was analyzed by immunohistochemistry, Western blot and realtime-PCR. PCR-SSCP was used to detect the mutation of p53 in lung tissues. Results Compared with those in the control group, the apoptotic index were increased significantly in 30 WLM and 60 WLM groups( t = 18.11, -10.30,P ＜ 0.05 ). The p53 protein was increased significantly ( t = -11.08, P ＜ 0.05; t = - 7.00, P ＜ 0.0 ) ) in 30 WLM and 60 WLM groups. The mutation of p53 gene was not detected in lungs of radon-exposure mice. Conclusions Lung and bronchus might be the targets of radon and its progeny, and p53 gene plays an important role in the progression of radon-induced lung injury.

Objective To analyze the chromosome aberrations induced by partial radiation in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro.Methods Heparinized whole blood samples were exposed to 2 Gy ~(60)Co 7-rays at 37℃ ,and then mixed with non-irradiated blood by different ratio.The slides were prepared after culturing and the unstable aberrations were analyzed.Results The chromosome aberrations had a good relationship with the ratio of irradiated blood.The chromosome aberrations in partial irradiated group were higher than that in the irradiated group.The estimated dose was 1.27 Gy when the ratio was 1 : 1 ,greater than the dose of 1 Gy.The estimated dose was 0.93 Gy when the ratio was 0.5＝1,also greater than 0.5 Gy.But when the ratio was 1:0,the radiation dose was accordant with the estimated dose.Conclusions Chromosome aberrations could be a biomarker for estimating the uneven irradiation.

Objective To investigate the differences in dosimetry between conformal radiotherapy (CRT),field-in-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (FIF-IMRT),and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) after breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer.Methods A total of 31 patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery for left-sided breast cancer were randomly selected,and the plans for CRT,FIF-IMRT,and IMRT were developed.The dose-volume histogram (DVH) was used for self-control study,and the non-parametric test was used to compare the differences in target volume and doses to organs at risk (OARs).Results All the three methods met the requirements of the prescribed doses.The CRT group had a higher V105 of the target volume and higher heart V30 and Dmax (P=0.000,0.000,0.000).The IMRT group had higher V5 and Dmean (P=0.000,0.000),as well as a higher lung V5 and a lower lung V40 (P=0.000,0.000).The FIF-IMRT group had the lowest Dmean (P=0.000),and the IMRT group had significantly higher Dmean and Dmax of the right lung and the spinal cord than the other two groups (P=0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000).The FIF-IMRT group had a significantly lower single hop count than the other two groups (P=0.000).Conclusions CRT has a good dose distribution in the target volume,but greatly injures the surrounding tissues.FIF-IMRT can well protect OARs and cause less damage to the device.
