BACKGROUND:The non-specific immune suppression method is generaly used for treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, but poor prognosis, such as infection and high recurrence rate, exists.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on systemic lupus erythematosus in mice.
METHODS:Sixteen mice with systemic lupus erythematosus were equivalently randomized into control and experimental groups, or then subjected to passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation or the equal volume of normal saline via the tail vein, respectively. Mouse urine samples were colected to detect urine protein levels by Bradford method. Blood samples from the tip of the mouse tail were extracted to detect serum anti-ds-DNS antibody concentration by radioimmunoassay. Mouse kidney tissues were taken and observed pathohistologicaly through hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry staining under microscope. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD4+CD25+T cels in the inner canthus blood, fresh spleen and thymus.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Within 10 weeks after cel transplantation, the urine protein levels in the two groups were gradualy increased, and the rising velocity was higher in the control group than in the experimental group. From the 4th to 10th week, the urine protein levels in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). In the control group, lymphocyte infiltration was visible in the kidney tissues with a few of plasmocytes, and pathological findings showed the mice presented with interstitial nephritis; in the experimental group, the mice had no pathological changes in the kidney. In the two groups, immune complexes were found in the mesangial area, which showed a patch-like distribution in the control group and a punctate distribution in the experimental group; the relative proportion of the occupied area in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group. The expression level of CD4+CD25+T cels in the blood and thymus were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05), and the expression level of CD4+CD25+T cels in the spleen was slightly higher in the experimental group than the control group with no significant difference (P > 0.05). The serum anti-ds-DNA antibody concentration in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Taken together, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can improve the pathological damage in systemic lupus erythematosus mice, and has a certain therapeutic effect on systemic lupus erythematosus.

The study aimed at investigation the effect of the transgenic biocontrol bacteria 308R(pCPP430) on the tomato rhizosphere bacterial communities. Strain 308R (Pantoea agglomerans), an adnascent bacterium isolated from tomato, was a biocontrol bacterium. The recombinant cosmid pCPP430 contained the hrp gene cluster of Erwinia amylovora was transformed into 308R Strain. Transgenic biocontrol bacterium 308R(pCPP430) produced Harpin protein which induce hypersensitive response and disease resistance in plants and, surprisingly, increase plant growth. Two complementary methods, sole-carbon-source utilization tests (SCSU) and ERIC-PCR, were used to compare the characterization of bacterial communities from three groups of tomato roots dipped in sterilized water, 308R suspended liquid and 308R(pCPP430) suspended liquid. The cluster analysis and principal components analysis of the number of colonies from SCSU indicated consistent differences in the rhizosphere of each group. Cluster analysis of SCSU data showed that there were consistent differences in the rhizosphere of each group. The rhizosphere bacteria communities of root dipped with 308R(pCPP 430) and 308R have a relative good replication, but the differences of corresponding replicates in dipped with distilled water was increased by degrees. Cluster analysis of ERIC-PCR fingerprints revealed that most of results (eight in ten) have overlaps between roots dipped in water and those dipped in 308R liquid. The methods used in this study may prove a useful approach for the comparison of bacterial communities.

This article reviewed classic and variable Stroop effect paradigms applied in clinic medicine research. The researchers mainly focus on two aspects of this area. Fistly, researchers apply classic and variable paradigms of Stroop effect to study special diseases, by which reserachers can enrich the knowledge of patients' cognitive function and get more information about the curative effect or side-effect of some medicine. These studies also can provide more foundation for farther diagnosis and therapy. Secondly, according to the normal participants' brain areas engaged in Stroop task, researchers applied Stroop task to patients with diseases at the same brain areas as the normal ones. By comparing normal subjects and patients, researchers comfirmed which parts of the brain are involved in Stroop task and what are these areas' functions. The final purpose is enriching the theoretical modal of Stroop effect.

Objective:
To investigate the characteristics of breakthrough cases of varicella in Haishu District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province from 2017 to 2022, so as to provide the evidence for varicella prevention and control.
Methods:
Information on reported cases of varicella and vaccination in Haishu District from 2017 to 2022 were collected through the China Infectious Disease Reporting Management Information System and the Immunization Program Information Management System of Zhejiang Province. The breakthrough cases who had received 1 or 2 doses of varicella vaccine 42 days before the onset of disease were selected. The distribution of sex, age, region and the interval between onset and last immunization were descriptively analyzed.
Results:
A total of 1 563 varicella cases were reported from 2017 to 2022. There were 928 breakthrough cases (59.37%), of which 660 cases with 1-dose immunization history (42.23%) and 268 cases with 2-dose immunization history (17.15%). The proportion of 1-dose breakthrough cases in total annual cases showed a decreasing trend (P<0.05) from 2017 to 2022, while there was no significant tendency on the proportion of cases with 2-dose immunization history (P>0.05). There were 392 males (59.39%) and 268 females (40.61%) with 1-dose immunization history. There were 150 males (55.97%) and 118 females (44.03%) with 2-dose immunization history. Breakthrough cases with 1- and 2- dose immunization history had an median age of 13.00 (interquartile range, 4.00) and 9.00 (4.00) years, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The regional distribution of the breakthrough cases with 1- and 2- dose immunization history was mainly in the rural-urban fringe, with 319 cases (48.33%) and 137 cases (51.12%), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The median interval between onset and last immunization was 12.00 (interquartile range, 3.00) and 4.00 (3.00) years, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Conclusions
The breakthrough cases of varicella in Haishu District from 2017 to 2022 were mainly cases with 1-dose immunization history, males, and residents in rural-urban fringe. The age was older and the interval between onset and the last immunization was longer in cases with 1-dose immunization history than in cases with 2-dose immunization history.
