Retroviral vector pLXSN was employed to introduce human r-Interferon (IFN-?) gene into four human hepa-tocellular carcinoma cell lines (HCC). The G418-resistant colonies were isolated and cloned. PCR and RT-PCR analysis indicated that the integration and expression of IFN-? gene was shown only in the transduced cells. Using a bioassay method, we found that all genetically modified HCC cells can secrete varied amount of IFN-?. The results of flow cytome-try showed that the cell surface expression of HLA class I molecules significandy increased following transduction. Moreover , we firsdy indicated that the increase in the expression of one specific HLA class I antigen, HLA-A2, was almost in the same magnitude as that of the total HLA class I molecules after transduction with IFN-r gene.

Objective To assess the virtual non-contrast liver CT from dual-energy CT for the clinical application. Methods In total, 51 patients were included in the study, and all patients underwent multi-phase liver CT on a dual-source CT. The True non-contrast liver CT (TNCT) was performed in a single-energy acquisition mode, but the arterial and portovenous liver CT (VNCT) were performed in a dual-energy mode of 110 kV and 140 kV respectively. The virtual non-contrast CT images were derived from the arterial data using liver virtual non-contrast software. Between the true non-contrast CT and the virtual non-contrast CT, the image quality, mean CT HU values in the liver and muscle, signal to noise (SNR), the radiation dose of volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) in a single phase and total examination were compared with t test. Results There was no significant difference in the detection of liver lesions between TNCT and VNCT. The CT Hu values of muscle on both TNCT and VNCT images were almost equal. The CT HU values of liver on VNCT images were higher than that on TNCT images and the difference was significant [61.32 ±6. 04 vs. (56. 85 ±4. 80) HU, t = -3. 927,P<0.01]. There was also significant differenc of SNR between TNCT (11.28±2. 78) and VNCT (8.65 ± 1.56) images( t =-5.590,P<0.01). The CTDIvol and DLP of single phase were (7.07 ±0.85) mGy and (155.11 ±respectively, but in TNCT the total CTDIvol and DLP reached (21.43 ± 2. 46 ) mGy and (469. 02 ±significance, but the total CTDIvol and DLP were significantly different (t = 16. 168 and 13. 132, P <0. 01). Conclusion With the consequent reduction in radiation dose, the VNCT can replace TNCT as an imaging protocol in multi-phase abdominal CT examination in clinic.

Aim To investigate the immunomodulative effect of hesperidin on immunodepressed mice.Methods The immunosuppressed mice were induced by cyclophosphamide (Cy, ip). Indexes of immune organs were calculated. Phagocytosis of mononuclear macrophage was determined by cleaning carbon particle method. Spectrophotography was used to estimate levels of serum specific IgG, IgM (HCIgM, HCIgG). Plaque forming cell (PFC) was determined with quantitative haemolysis of SRBC (QHS). Splenic lymphocytes proliferation was measured by MTT method. The mouse delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) model induced by dinitoflruorobenzene (DNFB) was used to study the effect of hesperidin on the level of DTH and subset of T lymphocyte. Results Hesperidin remarkably increased indexes of spleen and thymus, the rate of clearance and clearance index, but had no significant impact on HCIgM, HCIgG and PFC. In addition, it could enhance the proliferation of splenic lymphocytes and reverse DTH response to normal level. Conclusion Our results indicated that hesperidin had an enhanced effect on nonspecific immunity and specific cellular immunity in immunodepressed mice, while specific humoral immunity wasn′t significantly changed.

Objective To investigate the possible existence of HBoV in children with acute respiratory infections in Nanjing area and explore its relationship with clinical characteristics.Methods A total of 397 nasopharyngeal secretion samples were collected from children with acute respiratory infection,admitted from July 2009 to June 2010 in Nanjing Children'S Hospital affiliated to Nanjing Medical University,and 50 cases of children without symptoms of respiratory infection were recruited as control group,whose nasopharyngeal secretion samples were also collected.HBoV was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.MP and CT were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR in those HBoV-positive samples.RSV,ADV,IVA,IVB,PIV-1,PIV-2,PIV-3 and hMPV were detected by direct antigen-specific immunofluorescence assays.HBoV NP-1 fragments were amplified and sequenced in 5 HBoV positive samples randomly selected.The results were compared with the known GenBank sequence,and thereby the phylogenetic tree was established.The epidemiological characteristics,clinical presentation and the final clinical diagnosis of HBoV were analyzed according to the clinical data of the HBoV-positive patients.Results Thirty-three HBoV-positive cases were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR method with a positivity rate of 8. 3% ( 33/397 ). Among the 33 HBoV-positive cases, 19 cases (57.6%) were multiple infections with HBoV and other pathogens, the top three of which were MP (27.3% ,9/33 ),RSV (24.2% , 8/33 ) and PIV-3 ( 12. 1% ,4/33 ). Affected children aged from 7 to 36 months old accounted for 75.8% of the total ( 25/33 ). The measured HBoV NP-1 gene sequences of 5 specimens were consistent,indicating a high homology (99% to 100% ) with the stl, st2 and WHL-1. Conclusions HBoV is one of the pathogens of children's acute respiratory infections in Nanjing. HBoV NP-1 gene is highly conserved,with little variation in different seasons and in different regions and therefore can be used as a marker for real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and other methods.
