1.Intrauterine vertical transmission of HBV via pathway of peripheral blood mono-nuclear cells
Chinese Journal of Immunology 2014;(7):946-949
Objective:To study the HBV infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in mediating the role of mother -to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus.Methods: The peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs ) in maternal and cord blood mononuclear cells ( CBMCs ) in newborns were conventionally isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque medium.The loads of HBV-DNA in peripheral blood of maternal and cord blood of newborns were both detected by PCR .Results:The clinical data showed that the positive detection rates of HBV-DNA in serum and PBMCs of pregnant women with HBeAg (+) were 100.00%( 25/25 ) and 72.00%( 18/25),and the positive detection rates of HBV-DNA in the neonatal umbilical cord blood serum and CBMCs were 60.00%(15/25) and 44.00%(11/25),respectively.There were significantly difference between HBeAg (+) and HBeAg(-) in the pregnant women (P<0.05 ).The positive detection rates of HBV-DNA in neonatal umbilical cord blood serum and CBMCs were higher in the group with high HBV loads (more than 106copies/ml) in PBMCs than those of low HBV loading group (102-103copies/ml).The significantly difference was explored between the two groups.Conclusion: Mononuclear cells can not only be infected by HBV , but also play a critical role in the intrauterine vertical transmission of HBV via the pathway transmitted from PBMCs in pregnant women to CBMCs in newborns.

Objective To explore the antigen presentation of CT26.WT via intra-peritoneal injection. Methods The intra-peritoneal injection model was made via injecting cell suspensions in mice. The spleen was isolated from BALB/c mice toco-culture with CT26.WT to detect tumor-killed ability. Phenotype identification methods and CCK8 massy were used to measure the ability of antigen presentation and stimulate T lymphocyte proliferation. IHC was used to detect the expression of B7H4 in normal and tumor tissues. Results Along with the extension of intra-peritoneal injection, the surviving number of cells was increased, contrary to the apoptosis. DC cells failed in maturation and impaired in stimulating T lymphocyte proliferation. B7H4 was higher in tumor tissues. Conclusions With the extension of intra-peritoneal injection, the mature DC cells were scared in number, resulting in the impairement of antigen-presentation. Moreover, the higher B7H4 expression in tumor tissues led to the lack of second signals which may stimulate T cells. Consequently, the ability of T cells in killing tumor cells was decreased so that they escape immunosurveillance.

5.Effects of Preventive-electroacupuncture and Preventive-moxibustion at Guanyuan (RN4) on Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovary Axis in Ovariectomized Rats
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2013;(8):45-47
Objective To observe the regulatory effects of the preventive acupuncture and moxibustion at Guanyuan (RN4) points in ovariectomized rats, and discuss the mechanism of preventive acupuncture and moxibustion on hyoathalamus-pituitary-ovary (HPO) axis. Methods Totally 48 female SD rats were divided into 5 groups, including normal group, sham operation group, ovariectomized rats group, preventive acupuncture group and preventive moxibustion group. Except normal group and sham operation group, rats were ovariectomized after preventive acupuncture and preventive moxibustion for 30 d in corresponding groups. ELISA was used to determine the levels of E2, ER, GnRH, FSH and LH in the tissues including hypophysis, hypothalamus and uterus. Results Compared with the normal group, E2, ER and GnRH level in the tissue of the model group was significantly lower (P<0.01), the levels of FSH and LH increased obviously (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, E2, ER and GnRH level of preventive acupuncture group and preventive moxibustion group increased in different degree (P<0.05). FSH and LH level reduced in different degree (P <0.05). There was no obvious difference between preventive acupuncture and preventive moxibustion group (P>0.05). Conclusions The preventive acupuncture and preventive moxibustion at Guanyuan (RN4) has benign modulation to disordered HPO axis of ovariectomized rats. The ability of preventive acupuncture and preventive moxibustion are almost the same.
6.Methodology study of classification algorithm in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome study.
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2010;8(10):911-6
Study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes is a key to the research of TCM modernization, and the core is the classification and diagnostic criteria of syndromes. The purpose of this article is to review the usage of classification algorithms of data mining in TCM syndrome researches, and comprehensively analyze the main features of algorithms and their applications. The appropriate classification algorithm should be chosen according to different research purposes. Rough sets and cluster analysis are suitable for exploratory research without requiring a prior knowledge. Fuzzy sets theory, neural networks and decision tree are suitable for syndrome diagnostic criteria research when the classification goal is clear, because they require a prior knowledge. Among them, fuzzy sets theory could be used in combination with other classification algorithms. Thus, some new methods such as fuzzy clustering, fuzzy rough sets or fuzzy decision tree might be more suitable for TCM algorithm classification research. It is suggested that some novel classification algorithms need to be developed to fit the condition of TCM syndrome, based on the interdisciplinary theories and technologies.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between attachment to pets and psychosecial develop-ment of children. Methods: Totally 147 children pet owners from grade 3 to grade 5 were selected from 11 primary schools in Beijing. They were asked to complete the Lexington Attachment to Pets Scale, Self Description Question-naire, Children's Loneliness Scale, and 2 dimensions of Children Social-life Adjustment Scale. Results: Attach-ment to pets was positively correlated with self-concept, pro-social orientation and living ability of daily life (r=0.47, 0.42, 0.34, Ps < 0.001), and negatively correlated with loneliness (r=-0.28, P <0.01) . Even the variables including study performance, interrelationship and socioeconomic status of family were taken as covari-ares, the higher attach group was better than lower attach group in self-concept, pro-social orientation, living abili-ty of daily life [(163.81±17.81)vs.(138.36±27.71), (46.19±4.25)vs.(40.64±6.93), (39.05±4.17)vs.(33.77±6.51); Ps<0.001] and loneliness [(28.53±11.08)vs.(34.79±10.96); P <0.01].Conclusion: There is apparent relationship between pet attachment and psychosocial development in children.

Objective To determine the symptomatological characterictics of isehemie stroke in Chinese people on the basis of Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP) criteria. Methods 900 patients with ischemic stroke were reviewed. Ischemic stroke was classified into four subtypes. Results Patients were classified as lacunar infarcts(19.3%) ,total anterior circulation infarcts(17.2%) ,partial anterior circulation infarcts (45.3%), and posterior circulation infarcts(18.2%). The statistical comparison between male and female of each subtype is not significant . Conclusion The difference between the studies is caused by race difference and some other reasons.

Objective To evaluate the risk factors for the postoperative acute renal failure requiring dialysis (ARF-D)after heart valve surgery. Methods Adult patients (age≤18 years) underwent valve surgery with preoperative serum creatinine <300 μmol/L were included between January 2005 and December 2008. Fifty patients developed ARF-D within 30 days postoperatively (ARF-D group). While random 220 patients had the same operation without ARF-D served as the control group. Univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify risk factors of ARF-D after valve surgery.Results The incidence of ARF-D was 1.78%, and the early mortality rate was 65.5%. Multivariate analysis identified the following independent risk factors of ARF-D: age, previous cardiac surgery, preoperative serum creatinine, NYHA class Ⅳ,and low cardiac output syndrome. ARF-D group had a longer hospital stay and ICU stay than that of the control group ( P <0.001 ). Conclusion Conclusion ARF-D had a higher mortality rate and longer hospital stay following heart valve surgery.Age, previous cardiac surgery, preoperative serum creatinine, NYHA class Ⅳ, and low cardiac output syndrome were the independent risk factors of ARF-D after heart valve surgery.
