Objective:To investigate whether celastrol can increase the cytotoxic activity of γδ T cells against osteosarcoma (OS) cells line HOS through TRAIL way. Methods:The death receptors 4/5 (DR4/5) protein levels in the OS cell lines HOS was in-vestigated by Western blot analysis. Zoledronate ( ZOL) was used to induceγδT cells from PBMCs of healthy volunteers.γδT cell cy-totoxicity against HOS cells was investigated by a standard lactate dehydrogenase release assay ( LDH ) . Results:Celastrol increased DR4/5 protein expression in HOS ( P<0. 05 ) .γδ T cells from PBMCs of healthy volunteers showed cytotoxicity against HOS ( P<0. 05). Following co-culture with HOS pre-treated with celastrol (1 μmol/L) for 24 h,γδ T cells showed significantly higher cytotoxicity against HOS (P<0. 05). The induction of DR4/5 molecules increased lysis of HOS by γδ T cells which was abolished by addition of a blocking TRAIL antibody. Conclusion:Celastrol can enhance γδ T cells'cytotoxic activity against OS cells line HOS through TRAIL way.

Objective To assess the value of 64-slice computer tomography used in the preoperative evaluation of rectal cancer to predict the operative procedures. Methods There were 51 pathologically proven rectal cancer patients recruited, undergoing multi-slice computer tomagraphy (MSCT) assessment preoperatively. Preoperative MSCT stage and predictive operative procedures were recorded to compare with postoperative pathological stage and practical operative procedures. Kappa Coefficient for Diagnosis Coherence and Spearman correlation analysis were performed. Results The overall accuracy of CT-TNM stages were 74.5% which led to high coherence to pathological TNM stage ( Kappa value = 0.658,P=0.000). The univariate analysis showed that distance from tumor to dentate line (F = 3.386, P =0.042 ) and tumor thickness (F = 4.542, P = 0.016) was a statistically risk factor for operative procedures. Moreover, the significant correlation between tumor thickness (cc =0.319, P =0.023 ), as well as CT-M stage (cc = 0.369, P = 0.008) and CT-TNM stage ( cc = 0.365, P = 0. 008), and operative procedures was observed, by means of conducting Spearman correlation. The possibility of developing palliative stoma was 75%, when sufficing both CT-MI stage and tumor thickness ≥20 mm; The possibility of performing sphincter sparing radical operation reached 86% when both CT-T stage < 4 and distance from tumor to dentate line were referred by MSCT. Conclusion The objective parameters influencing development of operative procedures, involving tumor thickness, CT-M stage and CT-T stage, can be rendered by MSCT preoperative assessment, which served as valuable reference for clinical decision of operative procedures in retal cancer.

Background contamination is a major problem in the analysis of organophosphate esters (OPEs). In this study, the possible sources of OPEs pollution were screened and several different ways were applied to minimize the blank contamination. Under the strict quality control measures, the cleanup efficiency of different solid phase extraction (SPE) was investigated for OPEs in different environmental matrices. A method was developed for the detection of 7 OPEs in dust, soil and sediment samples by gas chromatograph coupled with mass spectrometry ( GC / MS). Target compounds were extracted by hexane:dichloromethane (1 : 1, V/ V) followed by aminopropyl silica gel SPE column cleanup for dust, and target compounds in soil and sediment were Soxhlet extracted and cleanuped by two-step SPE. The results showed that the aminopropyl silica gel SPE column displayed the best purification performance among the three employed columns. Instrumental detection limits among the 7 OPEs ranged from 2. 5 to 25. 8 μg / L, and the method limits of quantification (MLOQs) in dust and soil sample ranged from 1. 4 to 15. 7 ng / g and 0. 3 to 2. 9 ng / g, respectively. The average recoveries of 7 OPEs in different matrices ( dust and soil) at two spiked concentration levels ranged from 67. 9% to 117. 4% . The proposed method was successfully applied to detect OPEs in different environmental matrices collected in Shanghai.
