2.Variance and resource of intracellular free calcium and extracellular arachidonic acid of host cells during the invasion of Toxoplasma gondii
Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases 2008;26(4):211-216
Objective To explore variance and resource of intracellular free Ca2+ and extracellular arachidonic acid (AA) in different types of passage cells during the invasion of T. gondii. Methods The variance and resource of extracellular AA and intraceUular free Caz+ of Vero and J774A. 1 cells during the invasion of T. gondii were detected by multi-purpose scintillation counter and laser scanning confocal microscope. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and t test. Results The intracellular free Ca2+ levels in J774A. 1 and Vero cells were both increased after T. gondii infection. The maximal changes of fluorescence intensity were (1 219.7±58.4)% (P<0.01) and (356.3±23.6)% (P<0.05), respectively.The increase of intracellular Ca2+ level in Vero cell was mostly from the release of intracellular Ca2+ store.And the Ca2+ increase in J774A. 1 cell was from both the release of intracellular Ca2+ store and extracellular Ca2+ influx. Extracellular AA levels were significantly increased in both Vero and J774A. 1 cells after T.gondii infection 5.02 and 8. 44 times respectively (t= 3. 124, t = 3. 852, P<0.01). The AA elevations could be significantly inhibited by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor pretreating T. gondii. Conclusions The phospholipase C of phagocytic host cell and PLA2 of T. gondii are activated by T. gondii infection,which results in the increase of intracellular free Ca2+ and extraeellular AA level. Combined actions of Ca2+and AA play a major role in the invasion of T. gondii to host cell. While only PLA2 of T. gondii may be activated in nonphagoeytic host cell.

PurposeTo investigate the accuracy of18F-FDG PET/CT in diagnosing mediastinal and hilar lymph node metastasis of lung cancer and in guiding surgery. Materials and Methods Seventy-eight pathology-proven lung cancer patients underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT scanning and surgery. Histology was used as gold standard to evaluate the diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymph node metastasis.18F-FDG PET/CT was also compared to chest CT.Results The pathological examination confirmed metastasis lymph nodes in 105 out of 231 excised lymph nodes in 18 patients. No lymph node metastasis was found in mediastinum in the other 60 patients with lymph node staging of pN0. Lymph node staging was pN1 in 5 patients, pN2 in 11 patients, and pN3 in 2 patients. In all 78 cases, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of18F-FDG PET/CT were 80.9%, 94.7%, 91.0%, 85.0%, 93.1%; while 61.1%, 71.7%, 69.2%, 39.2%, 86.0% on chest CT. These were statistically different (χ2=4.325,P<0.05).Conclusion PET/CT is superior to plain chest CT examination as an accurate and efficient method in evaluating lymph nodes staging of lung cancer.
