Objective To generate cytokine induced killer (CIK) by inducing lymphocytes cells from peripheral blood in vitro , and to study the phenotype and biological activities of CIK. Methods Lymphocytes cells were isolated fresh from peripheral blood of healthy donors by Ficoll Hypaque density centrifugation, and the cells obtained were resuspended in RPMI medium consisting of 10% fetal calf serum at 37℃, 5%CO 2 for 2h. On day 0, the nonadherent cells were activated with IFN ? (1 000U/ml) and the following days were stimulated with CD3mAb (3 75?g/ml) and rhIL 2 (600U/ml). Phenotype of CIK were analysed by FACS. The proliferation of CIK was tested using 3 H Thymidine, and the killing experiment using MTT tests. Results The proliferation peak of CIK was at day 20, and declined at day 30. The percentages of the cytotoxicity of CIK cells for stomach cancer cell line MGC803 and liver cancer cell line Bel7402 was 65 45%?5 68% and 68 37%?3 93% respectively. CIK cells expressed the phenotypes of CD3CD56, CD3, CD54, CD28CD54, CD11a, HLA DR and CD28. Conclusion IFN ?, CD3mAb and rhIL 2 can induce strong proliferation of peripheral lymphocytes to produce CIK cells expressing the phenotype of CD3CD56, CD3, CD54, CD28CD54, CD11a, HLA DR, CD28, which have strong cytotoxicity on tumor cells.

Malignant tumor is one of the principle diseases which threatens the health of human being, and its incidence rate has been dramatically increased in recent years.Modern medical model has transformed from biomedical model to the model of "biology-psychology-society",from experience-based medicine to evidence-based medicine (EBM).At the same time,individualization is also one of important principles of tumor combined therapy.EBM and individualization treatment are not to opposed to each other but to complement each other. This article expounded the relationship of EBM and individualization treatment in tumor therapy,and showed that both of these two principles must be grasped arid carried out in clinical work.

Biochemotherapy refers to the combination of biotherapy and chemotherapy,and it has been rapidly developed since its emergence.Biochemotherapy has brought both new therapies and new therapeutic ideas for the treatment of malignant tumors.In this article,we reviewed the recent advances in tumor biochemotherapies,including expansion of the indications,retaining of therapy even when tumor progressed(unique to biochemotherapy),and reversal of chemotherapy resistance by targeted therapy,the predicting response to tumor biochemotherapy,recent clinical trials of immunotherapy-based chemotherapy,and evaluation criteria for assessment of biochemotherapy response,and so on.

The morbidity and mortality of malignant tumor is increasing in our country.It is crucial to enhance the clinical oncology education.We set the clinical oncology class for the medical university students and obtained good teaching effect by enhancing cognition,selecting the proper teaching content,making reasonable teaching program and using multiple teaching style.

Objective To investigate the best fermentation and induction models of the engineered Escherichia coli, in order to obtain the highest expression level of humanized anti HBsAg Fab. Methods The optimal condition governing the growth of the Escherichia coli, with the flask shaking method and the best fermentation and induction conditions to yield the highest production level were explored, and then E coli were grown in fermentor using the fed batch method following the same principle under flask shaking condition to ensure the best production. Results The data obtained from flask shaking conditions showed that when the induction procedure started the amount of anti HBsAg Fab would reach the highest level at mid log growth phase under the induction condition of 25℃ and 0 2% arabinose. Using the DO stat fed batch method, the OD 600 value of the culture would reach 55 2, which corresponded to 110g/L bacterial wet weight. The biological activity of Fab was proved to have well preserved. Conclusion We established the optimal production technic of HBsAg Fab, and lay a foundation to produce HBsAg Fab on a large scale

In recent years, more and more people has suffered from cancer which are causing more and more death. According to evidence-based medicine, the individualized therapy and normalized therapy are important principles of tumor therapy now.In order to improve the quality and effect of tumor therapy, produce qualified oncology physicians, it is important to emphasis the training of oncologist physicians. This article, gives some advices in enhance the level of oncology physicians.

To investigate the prognostic value of serum levels of tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC). Ninety six patients who had undergone hepatoma resections and 22 patients who received radio frequency ablations (RF) were followed up for 6～12 months.The serum levels of TPS were repeatedly determined.The RF group patients were divided into three subgroups: improved ,stable,and advanced.The median levels (U/L) of serum TPS in advanced subgroup were always higher than those in improved subgroup ( P

To investigate the value of tissue polypeptide specific antigen(TPS) in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the serum levels of TPS and alfa fetoprotein (AFP) were measured by TPS TM ELISA and enzyme immunoassay respectively in 96 patients with HCC, 30 patients with cirrhosis, 20 patients with hepatitis and 20 healthy controls.The diagnostic sensitivity of TPS and AFP is 89 6% and 73 0% respectively.There is a significant difference between them ( P

To investigate the expression of cytokeratin 18(CYK18) in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) cell membrane and the relationship between the serum levels of tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) and the proliferating activity of HCC cells. The serum levels of TPS were determined by TPS TM ELISA in 96 patients with HCC. Four micrometer paraffin embeded sections of liver specimens from these patients were immunostained with the strept avidin biotin complex immunoperoxidase technique (IHC SABC). All of the HCC preparations were positively stained by CYK 18 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) with IHC SABC.The results of PCNA stainings were: + in 62 5%, in 26 0%,  in 8 3%,and  in 3 1% .The median levels of TPS in the four groups were: + 137 98 U/L,  685 3 U/L,  in 1 126 U/L and  4 672U/L respectively. There were significant differences among these groups ( P

Objective To investigate hepatitis B virus mutation rate after the universal immunization in China. Methods DNA sequence analysis of the “a” determinant was performed on sera from 72 viral carrier children after immunoprophylaxis selected through a sampling survery. Results Four mutants were detected, the mutation rate was 5.56%. One strain showed Gly-to-Arg mutation at the 145 codon of surface antigen. Animo acid substitutions at the amino acid 126 and 140 were noted in the other three children. The epidemiological HBV serotype shifted from previous adw infection to more recent adr was also observed. Conclusions These observations indicate that vaccination is probably the cause of mutation, whereas the mutation is low and it will certainly not be a reason for doubting that the vaccination is the method of main choice for preventing hepatitis B infection that still devastates the developing countries.
