Objective To study the genes modulated during plasma cell development and their regulating network. Methods The changes of gene expression during differentiation from mature B cells to plasma cells were studied using cDNA microarray and RT PCR. Results The gene expression profile during plasma cell differentiation was established. During mature B cell plasma cell differentiation, numerous genes were modulated, including genes involving immunity, cell growth, survival, and signal transduction. The expressions of several molecules in the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathways, such as Ig?, Ig?, Lyn, Syk, BLNK, SWAP 70, and SHP 1 were down regulated. The decreased expression of some of these molecules might be associated with the down regulation of the transcription factor BSAP. Conclusion During plasma cell differentiation, molecules involving BCR signaling pathways are down regulated.

BACKGROUNO:Some experiments have proved that some traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have good biocompatibility when they touch and interact with human body tissues, body fluid or blood.Therefore,the physicochemical properties and functions of biomaterials can be improved by compounding it with some TCM.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the biocompatibility of gelatin-bletilla porous material carrying TCM.DESIGN:Single sample experiment.SETTING:Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion and Orthopaedics.Hubei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. MATERIALS:This experiment was carried out in the Department of Orthopaedics,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology between February and April 2005.Twelve mice,male and female in half,weighing 18-24 g, and 6 Japanese big-eared rabbits,weighing 2.8 to 3.0 kg,were chosen for this experiment.They were raised at (18±1)℃ in separate cages.METHODS: Spongy gelatin-bletilla porous materials carrying extract of Coptidis and Radix Salviac Militiorrhizae was prepared by freeze-drying method.The acute systemic toxicity test:The 12 mice were divided into experimental group and control group. Mice in the two groups were intraperitoneally injected with leaching liquor and normal saline,respectively (the dose was 50 mL/Kg),then the general state and body mass of mice were recorded at the 4th,24th,48th and 72nd hours after injection, respectively.The porous materials were implanted in dorsal muscle of rabbits.Two rabbits were sacrificed at the 1st, 2nd and 6th weeks after operation seperately,and tissue reaction of biomaterial in vivo was assessed by gross observation and histological examination. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gross observation and histological examination of tissue reaction of biomaterials in vivo.RESULTS: Twelve mice and six big-eared rabbits were involved in final analysis.The acute systemic toxicity test:Mice of two groups had good status,normal activity and appetite,stable respiration:and no abdominal irritation,exhaustion, cyanosis or death was found.Body mass of mice of two groups presented tendency of increase at the 24th,48th and 72nd hours after injection,and there were no significant differences between two groups (P＞0.05).The implantation test:①Gross observation:The samples were tightly bounded with muscular fibrous tissues at postoperative 1 week.They were connected with muscular fibrous tissues and could not be easily separated at postoperative 4 weeks.Gelatin-bletilla porous materials carrying TCM could hardly been seen at postoperative 8 weeks.②Histological observation:There were a lot of infiammatory cells and mesenchymal stem cells around the samples at 1 week after the implantation of gelatin-bletilla porous materials carrying TCM; Some materials were degraded and infiammatory cell infiltration was reduced around the implanted materials at 4 weeks; The inflammatory cells were further reduced and the materials were absorbed and replaced by muscular tissues at 12 weeks.CONCLUSION:Gelatin-bletilla porous materials carrying TCM is safe and reliable for application in wound healing,skin and muscle tendon tissue engineering.

Objective To summarize the perioperative experience of nursing the middle-aged and elderly patients of lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative lumbar scoliosis treated with posterior or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Methods Posterior or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion was performed in 69 middle-aged and elderly patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative lumbar scoliosis. Nursing measures included evaluation and treatment of complications, preoperative guidance for surgical body position, and postoperative close monitoring, treatment of complications and functional exercises. Results The operation on all the 69 patients was smooth, with surgical time ranged from 3 to 7 hours and bleeding volume between 300~750 mL. Postoperatively, 9 patients suffered from CSF leaks, 3 ones had a screw loose by imageology, 2 did from pneumonia, 2 did from DVT, and 3 did from depression. After clinical management and nursing, all the patients were cured and discharged. Conclusions Meticulous clinical treatment and nursing of preoperative complications and instructions on body position are the foundation for successful surgeries. Postoperatively, close monitoring, management of the complications and the instruction on functional exercises are guarantees for the successful surgeries.

Objective This study was to observe the effects of different test conditions on the qualitative and quantitative detection of cryoglobulin .Methods We prepared 5 blood samples of different types of cryoglobulinemia . We detect the cryoglobulin qualitatively and quantitatively at different temperatures (37 ℃and room temperature of 20-25 ℃), and with different observation time (3 days and 7 days) and with different amount of blood (5 ml and 20 ml) .Further we will categorize the type of cryoglobulin and detect the components of cryoglobulin by immunofixation electrophoresis ( IFE) and other laboratory tests.Results (1) Blood samples from two groups were clotting and the serums were separated at 37 ℃ and room temperature respectively , and cryoglobulins of two groups were all qualitatively positive . Quantitative detection of cryoglobulins showed that the concentrations of cryoglobulins of room temperature group are lower than that of 37℃group;(2) Compared with 7 days, observing for only 3 days may lead to false-negative results in qualitative detection of cryoglobulin , and concentrations of cryoglobulin are also decreased;(3) Compared with 20 ml blood sample,5 ml blood sample is not enough for qualitative and quantitative detection of cryoglobulins .It may lead to false-negative results;(4) After purification, IFE and other laboratory tests can be used to categorize the types and find the components of cryoglobulins .Such examinations are helpful for finding the potential causes of cryoglobulinemia .Conclusions The positive of serum cryoglobulin is a key indicator of cryoglobulinemia .Detection of cryoglobulin can be affected by temperature, observed time and the blood volume for measurement .In addition, IFE and other laboratory tests are helpful for finding the type and the components of cryoglobulin .
