Induction of immune tolerance is characterized by high efficiency,low toxicity and economic advantages,and immune tolerance has very important significance in organ transplantation.In the establishment of immune tolerance,dendritic cells (DCs) play the key roles such as clonal deletion or clonal anerge,expressing t-cell inhibiting factors,activating helper T cells electively and inducing regulatory T cells,especially CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells,etc.Similarly,CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells whose primary target point is dendritic cell also have various functions such as affecting dendritic cells'maturing,restraining dendritic cells'antigen presentation to T cells,inhibiting the activation of T cells in non-specific ways and inducing immune tolerance.Current research shows,dendritic cells and CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells regard each other as target point and work synergetically.Here we mainly discuss the function and interaction of dendritic cells and CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cells in the immune tolerance.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of autophagy inhibitor 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) against lipopolysac-charide(LPS)-induced acute lung injury in mice and its mechanism. METHODS:Mice were randomly divided into normal control group,model group (LPS 15 mg/kg),drug control group (3-MA 20 mg/kg),low-dose and high-dose groups (LPS 15 mg/kg+3-MA 20,40 mg/kg),with 10 mice in each group. Except for normal control group and drug control group,other groups were giv-en LPS intraperitoneally to induce acute lung injury model,and drug control group and low-dose and high-dose groups were given equivalent dose of 3-MA intraperitoneally 1 h before modeling. 6 h after modeling,lung wet/drug mass ratio (W/D) was deter-mined respectively,and pathology change of lung tissue was observed by HE staining. TNF-α,NF-κB p65,LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein expression were detected by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,W/D, TNF-α,NF-κB p65,LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein expression increased in model group (P<0.01). Compared with model group,W/D,the expression of TNF-α,NF-κB p65,LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein decreased in low-dose group (P<0.05),white just only LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ protein decreased high-dose group(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:In LPS-induced acute lung injury model in mice,the excessive autophagy could activate the NF-κB pathway and involve the inflammatory responses and induce lung cells apoptosis. The moderate autophagy inhibition by 3-MA can ameliorate inflammatory response and protect lung tissue.

Background and objective Localization of pulmonary ground glass small nodule is the technical dif-ficulty of minimally invasive operation resection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of intraoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization using a hook-wire system for small ground glass opacity (GGO) in minimally invasive resection, as well as to discuss the necessity and feasibility of surgical resection of small GGOs (<10 mm) through a minimally invasive approach.MethodshTe records of 32 patients with 41 small GGOs who underwent intraoperative CT-guided double-thorn hook wire localization prior to video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection from October 2009 to October 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients received video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) within 10 min atfer wire localiza-tion. hTe effcacy of intraoperative localization was evaluated in terms of procedure time, VATS success rate, and associated complications of localization.Results A total of 32 patients (15 males and 17 females) underwent 41 VATS resections, with 2 simultaneous nodule resections performed in 3 patients, 3 lesion resections in 1 patient, and 5 lesions in a patient. Nodule di-ameters ranged from 2 mm-10 mm (mean: 5 mm). hTe distance of lung lesions from the nearest pleural surfaces ranged within 5 mm-24 mm (mean: 12.5 mm). All resections of lesions guided by the inserted hook wires were successfully performed by VATS (100% success rate). hTe mean procedure time for the CT-guided hook wire localization was 8.4 min (range: 4 min-18 min). hTe mean procedure time for VATS was 32 min (range: 14 min-98 min). hTe median hospital time was 8 d (range: 5 d-14 d). Results of pathological examination revealed 28 primary lung cancers, 9 atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, and 4 nonspe-ciifc chronic inlfammations. No major complication related to the intraoperative hook wire localization and VATS was noted. Conclusion Intraoperative CT-guided hook wire localization is useful, particularly in small GGO localization in VATS wedge resection and has a signiifcantly low rate of minor complications. Lung GGOs carry a 90% risk of malignancy. Aggressive surgi-cal resection of these GGOs is necessary and feasible through the guidance of intraoperative CT localization technique.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of noise-induced hidden hearing loss by proteomics.Methods:In October 2022, 64 SPF male C57BL/6J mice were divided into control group and noise exposure group with 32 mice in each group according to random sampling method. The noise exposure group was exposed to 100 dB sound pressure level, 2000-16000 Hz broadband noise for 2 h, and the mouse hidden hearing loss model was established. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) was used to test the change of hearing threshold of mice on the 7th day after noise exposure, the damage of basal membrane hair cells was observed by immunofluorescence, and the differentially expressed proteins in the inner ear of mice in each group were identified and analyzed by 4D-Label-free quantitative proteomics, and verified by Western blotting. The results were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and t test. Results:On the 7th day after noise exposure, there was no significant difference in hearing threshold between the control group and the noise exposure group at click and 8000 Hz acoustic stimulation ( P>0.05) . The hearing threshold in the noise exposure group was significantly higher than that in the control group under 16000 Hz acoustic stimulation ( P<0.05) . Confocal immunofluorescence showed that the basal membrane hair cells of cochlear tissue in noise exposure group were arranged neatly, but the relative expression of C-terminal binding protein 2 antibody of presynaptic membrane in middle gyrus and basal gyrus was significantly lower than that in control group ( P<0.05) . GO enrichment analysis showed that the functions of differentially expressed proteins were mainly concentrated in membrane potential regulation, ligand-gated channel activity, and ligand-gated ion channel activity. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that differentially expressed proteins were significantly enriched in phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt) signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, etc. Western blotting showed that the expression of inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate receptor 3 (Itpr3) was increased and the expression of solute carrier family 38 member 2 (Slc38a2) was decreased in the noise exposure group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Through proteomic analysis, screening and verification of the differential expression proteins Itpr3 and Slc38a2 in the constructed mouse noise-induced hidden hearing loss model, the glutaminergic synaptic related pathways represented by Itpr3 and Slc38a2 may be involved in the occurrence of hidden hearing loss.
