Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory immune disease,which is one of the causes of human lower limb disability.Dendritic cells are the most powerful professional antigen presenting cell in immune system,and dendritic cells have the dual role of immunogenicity and tolerability.As a professional antigen presenting cell,the immunogenicity of dendritic cells present self abnormal antigen and course immune system disorder,which may be one role of dendritic cells participate in atherosclerosis.However,the tolerability of dendritic cells can course the generation of immune tolerance,which makes dendritic cells exert a regulatory role in atherosclerosis.This paper makes an introduction about how dendritic cells are involved and play a regulatory role in the pathogenesis of atherosderosis.

OBJECTIVE:To study the correlation between RRM2 expression of cervical cancer cell line C33a and Siha and cell sensitivity to gemcitabine(Gem). METHODS:C33a and Siha were treated with 0.1-3.2 μmol/L and 0.5-512 μmol/L of gemcitabine respectively for 72 h;cell viability was measured by MTT assay to calculate the value of IC50. The expression of RRM2 was mea-sured by Western blot and RT-PCR. Siha cell was treated with gradient concentration and large dose of Gem to establish Siha/Gem drug-resistant cell line. RNA interference technology knockdown the expression of RRM2 in Siha/Gem cell,and IC50 of Gem to cell was determined before and after knockdown. RESULTS:The IC50 values of Gem to Siha and C33a were 16.8 μmol/L and 0.63μmol/L. Compared with C33a cells,the expression of RRM2 in Siha cell was higher. Compared with Siha cells,Siha/Gem drug-re-sistant cell(drug resistant index of 16.26)showed higher RRM2 expression. Siha/Gem drug-resistant cell knockdown RRM2,IC50 of Gem to it was decreased,and inverse drug resistant times was 4.24. CONCLUSIONS:There is an negative correlation between RRM2 expression and Gem sensitivity in cervical cancer cell lines. The knockdown of RRM2 in Siha/Gem increases the sensitivity to Gem.

Objective To analyze the relationship between HBsAg level and HBV DNA level as well as illness severity in patients with HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF).Methods One hundred and nineteen patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB group) and 98 patients with ACLF(ACLF group) were enrolled.HBsAg and HBeAg were assayed with Roche electrochemical luminescence method.HBV DNA was quantified using a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.HBsAg and HBV DNA levels were compared between two groups and between HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients in ACLF group respectively,also the correlationbetween HBsAg and HBV DNA was studied.Results The proportions of HBeAg-negative patients were 68.4％(67/98) and 42.9％(51/119) in ACLF group and CHB group respectively,and there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜0.01).There was no significant difference in HBV DNA between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).HBV DNA in HBeAg-positive patients was higher than that in HBeAg-negative patients in two groups(P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in HBsAg between HBeAg-positive patients and HBeAg-negative patients in ACLF group (P ＞ 0.05 ),but they were higher than that in HBeAg-positive patients in CHB group (P＜ 0.05).HBsAg was correlated to ALT,AST in HBeAg-positive patients (P ＜ 0.05).No significant correlation was found among HBsAg and HBV DNA as well as biochemical changes (P＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the ratio of different HBsAg levels among the patients of different HBV DNA in ACLF group (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion The level of HBsAg does not directly correlate with serum HBV DNA level,and has no directly correlation with the severity of the disease in patients with HBV-related ACLF.

Objective To investigate the occurrence of postoperative healthcare-associated infection(HAI)and its risk factors in neurosurgical patients undergoing removal of intracranial tumor,so as to provide theoretical basis for formulating intervention measures.Methods Prospective survey was adopted to monitor the occurrence of postoperative HAI in patients who admitted to the department of neurosurgery of a hospital and underwent selective removal of intracranial tumor between April 2013 and December 2014 ,risk factors for HAI were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 1 218 patients were surveyed,163 patents developed 193 times of postoperative HAI,inci-dence of postoperative HAI was 13.38%,case incidence of HAI was 15.85%.The main HAI site was intracranial site(n=125,64.77%),the next was lower respiratory tract (n=55,28.49%).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that operation grade and subtentorial operation were independent risk factors for postoperative HAI in neurosurgical patients undergoing removal of intracranial tumor,OR and 95%CI were 4.352(1.878-10.080)and 1.812(1.280-2.564)respec-tively.Conclusion Risk of postoperative HAI in neurosurgical patients undergoing high grade operation and subtentorial removal of intracranial tumor is high,effective prevention and control measures should be taken to prevent the occurrence of HAI.

BACKGROUND:During the research of ABO blood type antigen, the overwhelming majority samples of same ABO gene express a normal and same ABH antigen. But a certain amount samples with the same ABO genetic background show different antigen intensity expression as for different family or individuals. The ABO blood type has complex expression regulation mechanism. Analysis of ABO blood group serology and genetic background of these rare bi-specific AB phenotype specimens, and further studying on epigenetics may partly revealed ABO gene expression mechanism. OBJECTIVE:To study methylation of CpG island and explore the relationship between ABO gene promoter coding glycosyltransferase with dual donor specificity and ABH antigen expression. METHODS:Six samples detected as CisAB or B(A) phenotype were studied in this paper. The whole code sequences and promoter sequence of ABO gene were amplified respectively. The level of CpG methylation in promoter of ABO gene was further detected with bisulfite treatment method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Among the six bi-specific AB phenotype samples, two previously-identified CisAB05/B(A)06 al eles with nt803C>G on the basis of B101 al ele sequence could be seen, and three additional methylated sites nt-33(30%), nt+27(50%) and nt+49(50%) were found between the two regions of CpG island in promoter of ABO gene. Two CisAB01 al eles with nt803C>G mutation on the basis of A101 sequence were found at nt-26C(10%). Other two B(A)04 al eles contained nt640A>G mutation on the basis of B101 sequence were found in the whole code sequences regions, and six additional methylated sites nt-33(10%), nt+16(50%), nt+57(60%), nt+59(60%), nt+68(60%) and nt+74(60%) were found between the two samples. No abnormity was identified in the promoter region of ABO gene. Our results indicated that the differential methylation levels in the CpG island of ABO gene promoter region may affect ABH antigens expression on the red cel membrane even if the samples had the same ABO genetic background.

To observe the clinic effects and complication of Ahmed glaucoma valve(AGV) implantation in refractory glaucoma by using the 23G syringe needle direct puncture the sclerotic tunnel.METHODS: Forty-four cases ( 44 eyes ) of refractory glaucoma underwent AGV implantation by useing the 23G syringe needle direct puncture the sclerotic tunnel. The intraocular pressure ( lOP ) , visual acuity, and complication of post - operation were contrasted with those of pre-operation.RESULTS:The success rate was 84. 1%, the mean preoperative lOP in research group was 52. 1±10. 1mmHg, and the last follow up mean lOP was 15. 6 ± 6. 9mmHg. Compared with the preoperative visual acuity, 11 eyes increased, 27 eyes had no changes and 6 eyes decreased. The main post-operative complications included shallow anterior chamber ( 4 eyes ) , choroidal detachment ( 3 eyes), drainage tube shift (1 eye), hyphema (6 eyes), drainage tube blockage ( 1 eye ) , expulsive choroidal hemorrhage (1 eye), and fiber wrap of drainage tray (5 eyes) .CONCLUSlON:AGV implantation by direct puncture the sclerotic tunnel is feasible and easy. lt avoids of making sclerotic petal and the xenogenic sclera transplanting, simplified the operation technique, prevent the leakage of around tube. The shallow anterior chamber rate is lower. lt is an effective procedure for refractory glaucoma.

Objective To assess whether FICE or IC is more effective at detecting colonic diseases.Method We searched PubMed, CINAHL, CQVIP and the Cochrane Library databases for relevant papers published between January 2008 and August 2013 using the following keywords: lfexible spectral imaging color enhancement, indigo carmine, colonoscope, colonic lesions, colon tumor and chromoendoscopy. We included eight articles, and all data were subdivided for analysis.Results We used odds ratios (OR^s) with 95 % conifdence intervals (CIs) to assess correlations between the detection methods and detection rates. The detection rates did not signiifcantly differ between FICE and IC for colonic tumor lesions (OR^ = 0.90, 95 % CI: 0.76~1.08,P = 0.255), non-tumor lesions (OR^ = 1.09, 95 % CI: 0.92~1.30,P = 0.302), adenomas (OR^ = 0.87, 95 % CI: 0.72~1.07,P = 0.188), non-neoplastic polyps (OR^ = 0.84, 95 % CI: 0.67~1.06,P = 0.146), lfat lesions (OR^ = 0.87, 95 % CI: 0.71~1.08,P = 0.203), protruded lesions (OR^= 1.23, 95 % CI: 0.93 ~ 1.64,P = 0.153), right colon lesions (OR^ = 0.83, 95 % CI: 0.60 ~ 1.14,P =0.251), transverse colon lesions (OR^ = 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.48~1.05,P = 0.086), or left colon lesions (OR^ = 1.35, 95 % CI: 1.01 ~ 1.80,P = 0.045).Conclusions There were no signiifcant differences in the rate of colonic lesion detection between FICE and IC except the left colon. Therefore, providers should choose a suitable inspection method based on the resources of the hospital.

[Objective] To investigate the effects of mitochondrial unfolded-protein response (UPRmt) on the aggregation toxicity of Aβ protein in Alzheimer's disease (AD).[Methods] By cloning the mitochondrial outer membrane tomm-22,inner membrane E04A4.5 and atfs-1 genes of Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) and constructing the L4440 interference vectors,HT115 competent cells were transformed to prepare tomm-22,E04A4.5 and atfs-1 RNAi bacteria.The effects of tomm-22 and E04A4.5 RNAi on the process of paralysis were investigated through transgenic AD disease models CL4176 and CL2006.The life span of wild type N2 C.elegans was observed after RNAi of tomm-22 and E04A4.5.The regulatory role of ATFS-1 signaling by atfs-1 RNAi in inhibition of Aβ protein aggregation was detected.The dynamic changes of UPRmt in transgenic SJ4100 nematode and the autophagy level in transgenic DA2123 nematodes were analyzed by tomm-22 and E04A4.5 RNAi.[Results] We successfully established the UPRmt model by cloning mitochondrial tomm-22 and E04A4.5 of C.elegans and further constructing RNAi bacteria,and showed that they can suppress aggregation toxicity of Amyloid-β (Aβ) protein in AD model CL4176,and slow down paralysis process.The life span of wild type N2 was significantly shortened after feeding with the tomm-22 and E04A4.5 RNAi bacteria.At the same time,the progressive paralysis AD model CL2006 shows a delayed paralysis in the early stage of life cycle but get acceleration in the late.These results illustrate that the UPRmt can alleviate the mitochondrial stress and improve the function of mitochondria at least in the short term.The atfs-1 RNAi confirmed that delayed paralysis process of AD model CL4176 is not directly related to the ATFS-1 signal.However,tomm-22 and E04A4.5 RNAi can gradually increase the UPRmt response and induce the expression level of autophagy-related molecules LGG-1,suggesting that tomm-22 and E04A4.5 RNAi may play a role in delaying the AD disease process by enhancing the activity of autophagy in C.elegans.[Conclusions] The study found that the UPRmt can inhibit the accumulation of A β protein by coordinating the signal transduction between mitochondria and nucleus,and can help to restore mitochondria and even intracellular protein homeostasis for protecting the normal physiological function of cells,and also provides new targets for prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.
