Objective To investigate the cytotoxicity and mechanism of killing tumor of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells in vitro.Methods Mononuclear cells were acquired freshly from bone marrow of children with leukemia,and the cells obstained were induced into dendritic cells by adding granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating,IL-4,TNF-? and other cytokines.Lymphocytes cells were isolated freshly from peripheral blood of children with leukemia by Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation,and the cells obstained were induced by IFN-?,IL-2 and CD3McAb.The DC cells and CIK cells were co-cultured for 10-25 days,then DC-CIK cells were obtained.Phenotypes of DC-CIK were analyzed by flow cytomery.The cytotoxicity of DC-CIK against a variety of leukemic cell lines was investigated by MTT technique.When treated with mouse-anti-human LFA-1 monoclonal antibody,the expression of GATA-3 and T -bet in the levels of mRNA and protein were mea-sured by using RT-PCR and Western Blot technique,respectively.Results In the first 0-6 days,DC-CIK induced slowly,the proliferation of DC-CIK got 100-fold at the 13th day,cells were rapidly proliferating in the first 13-21 days.The maximum proliferation of DC-CIK reached at the 22nd day.The phenotypes of CD3,CD11a,CD54,HLA-DR were expressed highly; CD3/CD56,CD25,CD28,CD69,FasL were expressed moderately on DC-CIK.The expression of CD16 was not increased.DC-CIK possessed the cytotoxicity against tumor cells of B95,Jhhan and M07e.The effect was stronger to B95,there was no significant difference when the efficiency target ratio was 12.5:1.0 or 25:1,the cytotoxicity reached about 50% and 60%,respectively,against tumor cells of B95.However,it was not obvious to Jhhan and M07e.When the efficiency target ratio was 12.5:1.0 or 25:1,the cytotoxicity reached to 27.21%,25.13%,33.05%,29.72%,respectively,against tumor cells of Jhhan and M07e.When treated with mouse-anti-human LFA-1 monoclonal antibody,the expression of GATA-3 in the level of mRNA was up-regulated(t=3.425,4.523 Pa

Objective To investigate the biological activity of cytokine-induced killer(CIK)cells in vitro.Methods Lymphocytes isolated from peripheral blood in leukemic children were induced with interferon-?(IFN-?),anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody(CD3McAb)and interleukin-2(IL-2)and co-cultured with dendritic cells(DC)to generate DC-CIK cells.The morphology and immunophenotype of these cells were determined by electron microscopy and flow cytometry,respectively.Cytotoxicity of DC-CIK cells against leukemia cell lines was measured by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.Interleukin-12(IL-12),tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)levels released by DC-CIK cells were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.Results Induced DC-CIK cells were regular,round and transparent with variable cell volume and cellular aggregation.At the 0th-4th day,its amplification was very slow,and it increased quickly at the 5th-8th day,it reached its peak amplification at the 9th-10th day,at approximately 100-fold.The main effector cells in this population were CD3+CD8+ cells and CD3+CD56+ cells.DC-CIK cells were cytotoxic to B95 cells,K562 cells and HL-60 cells,with the highest cytotoxicity towards B95 cells.The expression levels of IL-12 and TNF-? in supernatant were very high.Conclusions DC-CIK cells induced with cytokines displayed powerful amplification and strongly killing activities in vitro.It suggested that DC-CIK cells induced with cytokines may play killing activities through Th1 pathway in vitro,as a result of high secretion of Th1 cytokines,such as IL-12 and TNF-?.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) of white matter in prognosis of acute lacunar infarctions.

METHODSTwenty-eight patients of pyramidal tract strokes at the acute phase (<3 days) with a marked motor defect were examined. Lesions were identified on diffusion weighted imaging and isotropic imaging of DTI, and infarctions and the tract were shown on the DTT images simultaneously. The anatomic location and pattern of the lesions were visualized on DTT, with regard of the corticospinal tract (CST), all patients were divided into three clinical subgroups: in Group 1 infarction lesions were close to CST, in Group 2 CST was partial involved, in Group 3 lesions centered in the pyramidal tract. Subsequently, they were compared with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores at acute phase (<3 days), early chronic phase (8 approximately 14 days), and outcome(30 approximately 60 days).

RESULTNIHSS scores of Group 1(12/28) were not different with those of Group 2 (11/28) at the acute phase (U=-1.430, P>0.05), and NIHSS scores in Group 2 were significantly lower than those of Group 3(5/28) (U= -2.676, P <0.01). In the outcome, NIHSS scores of Group 1 were significantly lower than those of Group 2 (U= -2.501, P<0.05), NIHSS scores of Group 2 were significantly lower than those of Group 3 (U= -2.948, P<0.01). Among these three groups,Group 1 all had good recovery, Group 2 also had good recovery but sometimes with some mild motor disfunction, and Group 3 always had marked defect and minor improvement. Both rADC value and rFA value were induced in the acute lacunar infarctions.

CONCLUSIONDTT is helpful in prognestic valuation of acute lacunar infarction by providing visualized stereo localization of CST and infarction lesions.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the fixation model of anterior cervical transpedicular system (ACTPS) after subtotal resection of two segments of lower cervical spine(C₃-C₇) in order to provide a finite element modeling method for anterior cervical reconstruction. METHODS: The CT data of the cervical segment (C₁-T₁) of a 30-year-old adult healthy male volunteer was collected. Used Mimics 10.0, Rapidform XOR3, HyperMesh 10.0, CATIA5V19 and ANSYS 14.0 to establish the three-dimensional nonlinear complete model of lower cervical spine(C₃-C₇) as the intact group. The number of units and nodes of the complete model were recorded. After the effectiveness of the complete model was verified, the C₅ and C₆ vertebral subtotal resection was performed, and the ACTPS model was established as the ACTPS group. The axial force of 75 N and moment couple of 1N·m was loaded on the upper surface of C₃ in intact group and ACTPS group, the range of motion(ROM)and stress distribution in states of flexion extension, lateral flexion, rotation was compared between two groups. RESULTS: There were 85 832 elements and 23 612 nodes in the complete model of lower cervical spine(C₃-C₇) which was established in this experiment. The stress distribution of ACTPS internal fixation model was relatively uniform. Comparing with the intact group, the overall range of motion in ACTPS group was decreased in flexion extension, lateral flexion and rotation directions, and the corresponding compensation of adjacent C_3,4 segment was increased slightly. CONCLUSION The stress distribution of ACTPS fixation system is uniform, there is no stress concentration area at the joint of screw and titanium plate, and the fracture risk of internal fixation is low. It is suitable for stability reconstruction after anterior decompression of two or more cervical segments.
