Objective: To detect the expression and distribution of activated cytotoxic cells in types of lymphoma with tissue microarray,and provide evidences for clinical treatment and prognosis. Methods: Immunohistochemical staining by S-P technique was used for detecting the expression and distribution of perforin and granzyme B in lymphoma tissue microarray,composed of 60 samples of lymphoma tissue.10 NK/T-cell lymphoma routine sections were used for relative research,and 10 reactive hyperplasia were used for comparison. Results: In the tissue microarray,samples originated from intranode and extranode were 48 and 12,respectively;consisting of 42 B-cell lymphoma,16 T-cell lymphoma(10 PTCLs,2 NK/T-cell lymphomas,2 lymphoblastic T-cell lymphomas,2 anaplastic large cell lymphomas),2 Hodgkin's disease.42 samples of B-cell lymphoma cells were negative in perforin and granzyme B.In 10 samples of peripheral T-cell lymphoma,perforin and granzyme B positive were 8 and 9,respectively,but the positive cells were no tumor cells.In 12 samples of NK/Tcell lymphoma(2 in the tissue microarray,10 routine sections),both perforin and granzyme B were strongly positive.B-cell lymphoma,T-cell lymphoma and NK/T-cell lymphoma differed significantly(P

The results of the current studies demonstrated that the combined use of IL - 2 and IL - 7 could augment the in vitro proliferative responses of tumor - specific T cell lines and clones to antigen stimulation, increasing stimulation induces 6 to 8 times greater than using either IL - 2 or IL - 7 alone. Antigen - driven T cells maintained in culture using this combined cytokine regimen can be induced to grow and maintained functional in large numbers and survive long-term in cultrue with each antigen restimulation cycle prolonged to six weeks. The IL-2 doses used in this combined cytokine regimen can be reduced 10 to 100 times that of cultures using IL-2 alone. Thus, the combined use of IL-2 plus IL-7 is effective for procuring large numbers of antigen - specific functional T cells in vitro.

Objective This study aims to investigate the post-transcriptional regulatory effects that control proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion in pediatriccholesteatoma keratinocytes.In particular, the potential role of miR-21was focused on in this study.Methods A total of 23 pediatric cholesteatoma tissues were processed for cell culture.Pediatriccholesteatoma keratinocytes were transfected with miR-21 inhibitors, or negative control miRNAs.RT-PCR was used to assess the expression levels of miR-21.EdU incorporation assay and TUNEL staining were used to assess the proliferation and apoptosis of pediatric cholesteatomakeratinocytes, respectively.Results MiRNA-21 was downregulated when pediatric cholesteatoma keratinocytes were transfected with miR-21 inhibitors.Furthermore, the number of proliferative EdU+cells decreased in cholesteatoma keratinocytes transfected with miR-21 inhibitors;and the number of TUNEL-positive cells also increased in cells transfected with miR-21 inhibitors, compared with cells transfected control miRNA.Conclusion MiRNA-21 promotes the proliferation and inhibits apoptosis of pediatric cholesteatoma keratinocytes.

Objective To evaluate the prognosis capacity of the Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI) risk score for 6 months mortality in the clinical patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), in addition to asses the incremental value of EF and multivessel disease for risk stratification. Methods Six clinical variables and their relative value of score derived from PAMI risk scoring system were used to determine individual's risk score. The patients with STEMI were evaluated during the in-hospital period and followed-up for a mean of (10.34?3.24) months for mortality. The p values were calculated using a Kruskal-Wallis H test for categorical variables when appropriate; otherwise Independent-samples test was used. Logistic regression examined the discriminant accuracy of the PAMI risk score to predict death and assessed the incremental value of the EF and multivessel disease. Results A 88.8% of patients (183 patients) finished the follow up of 6 months. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 4.4%, 30-day mortality rate was 6% and 6 months mortality rate was 9.3%. Eighty-eight patients scored 0-2 points, 54 patients scored 3-5 points, 17 patients scored 6-8 points and 24 patients scored ≥9 points. The 6 months mortality were 1.1%,3.7%, 17.6% and 41.7% respectively. Logistic regression analysis indicated that multivessel disease is a risk factor (OR 10.189) and EF is a protected factor (OR 0.849) for 6 months mortality after PCI. Multivessel disease and EF provided incremental information over that provided by the PAMI risk score. Conclusion The PAMI risk score can be applied in early stage after PCI for mortality risk assessment for patients with STEMI. EF and multivessel disease also convey important prognostic information and should be included in risk stratification after STEMI.

Many peptide transporters have been identified in mammals, among which PepT1 has been widely studied. PepT1, a member of proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter (POT) superfamily, is a peptide transporter of low affinity and high capacity and is mainly expressed in the brush border membrane of intestinal epithelial cells. PepT1 plays an important role in the absorption of di/tri-peptide (the degradation products of protein in intestinal tract). Meanwhile, it mediates the transport of peptide-like drugs and the bacterial products. Therefore,the changes of the functional expression of PepT1 in the gastrointestinal tract may dramatically affect the internal and external environmental stability and drug absorption. This paper reviews the structural features and function,distribution, transport mechanisms, and regulatory factors of PepT1.

Objective To construct an eukaryotic expression vector of pre-miR-15a,and to investigate the inhibitory effect of pre-miR-15a to Raji cells. Methods The pGCSIL-GFP vector encoding pre-miR-15a nucleotides was transfected into the bacterial competent cells,and then confirmed by PCR and sequencing analysis. The identified vector was transfected into Raji cells with oligofectamine 2000. The cells were divided into 3 groups,blank,negative control and pre-miR-15a group. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA,and immunofluorescence indirect for Bcl-2 protein expression. The growth of Raji cells was assayed by trypan blue dye exclusion method. Results PCR and sequences analysis indicated that the recombinant clones was identical with target sequences. Many green fluorescent cells were observed under fluorescent microscopy. The levels of Bcl-2 mRNA at every group had no obviously difference. Bcl-2 protein expression was obviously decreased at pre-miR-15a group compared with the other groups. Trypan blue dye exclusion method showed the cell growth was inhibited at 48 h and 72 h post-transfection. Conclusion We successfully construct the eukaryotic expression vector of pre-miR-15a,and it can inhibit the growth of Raji cells.
