Objective To study the effect of concentration of TCR-specific antigen peptides on priming naive CD4~+ T cells to develop into Th1/Th2 cells or naive CD8~+ T cells to develop into Tc1/Tc2 cells. Methods TCR-specific peptides with series of concentration were co-cultured with routine spleen DCs to activate murine naive CD4~+/CD8~+ T cells. The production of intracellular cytokines IFN-γand IL-4 were measured by flow cytometry. The dividing profile of activated T cells was analyzed by CFSE staining. Results Lower concentration of specific peptides favored Th2/Tc2 polarization while higher concentration benefited Th1/Tc1 polarization. The influence of peptides concentration on Th cells differentiation is higher than that on Tc cells. Conclusion Antigen peptides can stimulate activation of naive T cells in a wide range of concentration. However, with the increase of peptides concentration, activated T cells differentiated grad-ually from Th2/Tc2 to Th1/Tc1, which will provide significant value to control immunized dose of vaccine candidates in animal experiments.

The imaging findings of pelvic lipomatosis as confirmed by operation and pathology were examined in 1 case and two follow-up asymptomatic cases retrospectively analyzed.The imaging findings included a compressed and deformed bladder with a superior displacement.Its shape was like an inverted tear and pear in coronal view and a banana in sagittal view.Bilateral ureters were both compressed with a medial deviation.And bilateral ureters were dilated with hydronephrosis in 1 case.Rectum and sigmoid were both compressed and became narrowed.The clinical manifestations included frequent urination , urgent urination , urination pain, dysuria, constipation, nausea, vomit and fever in 1 case while another 2 cases stayed asymptomatic.

Objective To investigate the brain mechanism elicted by multiple conflict.Methods This study integrated different types of conflict,including Flanker,Stroop and Simon conflict,by using the event-related potential(ERP) technique.Results The behavioral data showed that there were the congruency effect and the conflict adaptation effect in all types of the conflict.ERP data showed that the congruency effects of P300,N450 and SP component were found in all types of conflict.Conclusion The conflict monitoring theory is still available for various types of conflict in multiple conflict conditions and the human brain uses local control mechanism to resolve the conflict.In addition,the human brain resolves the conflict based on the flexibility of cognitive control system driven by multiple conflict and the conflict-specific control mechanisms.These mechanisms are independent and free from any interference with each other.

As a new type of carbon nanomaterials, fluorescent carbon dots (fluorescent CDs) have many advantages when compared with the traditional fluorescent probes. They are photoluminescence stable and resistance to photo bleaching. Moreover, they are excellent in biocompatibility, low-toxic and easy to modify. All these above make them a promising optical image material as a probe in optical image. This article reviews structure, the common carbon sources, the preparation methods, and the light-emitting principles of the carbon dots. We also introduce the research progress of fluorescent carbon dots in biomedicine, and the problems need to be resolved in the study of fluorescent CDs.

Objective To investigate the expression of Signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) gene in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and to evaluate the possible connections between STAT2 gene expression levels and clinical features. Methods One hundred and forty-four SLE patients, 27 non-SLE patients with other rheumatisms and 58 normal controls were recruited for this research, and the subjects were surveyed for clinical data collection. SYBR Green Dye based real-time quantitative PCR method was used to compare the expression levels of STAT2 in patients with SLE and those in the controls. The correlation of the gene expression levels and disease activity and specificity was studied. Results STAT2 expression levels (5.2±1.7) in SLE patients were remarkably higher than those in non-SLE patients and normal controls (4.3±1.1, 4.5±1.2, P<0.01 in both). The expression levels of STAT1 were increased in active SLE patients(5.2±1.5), comparing with those observed in inactive SLE patients (4.8±2.9, P<0.01), and expression levels of STAT1 in SLE patients were negatively correlated with C3 levels in sera (r=-0.449, P<0.01) whereas were positively correlated with SLEDAI-2K score and 24 hour urine protein (r=0.317, 0.309, P<0.01 in both). Conclusion Over-expression of STAT2 gene in the peripheral blood cells is linked with the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus, and the elevated expression level of STAT2 is correlated with SEE disease activity.

Objective to explore the role of Beclin 1 in gastric carcinogenesis and subsequent progression. Methods MkN28 cells were trans-fected with Beclin 1-expressing plasmid,and then the proliferation and cell cycle was measured by CCk-8 and PI staining. Beclin 1 expression was examined by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization on tissue microarrays containing gastric cancers,adjacent non-neoplastic mucosa,and metastatic lymph node. the correlation with the tumorgenesis,clinicopathological and prognostic parameters was analyzed. Results Beclin 1 overex-pression resulted in G2 arrest of MkN28 cells and reduced the proliferation. Beclin 1 mRNA was highly expressed in gastric cancer than matched mu-cosa by ISH(P < 0.05). Beclin 1 was highly expressed in male than female patients with gastric cancer(P < 0.05). the elder patients with gastric cancer had higher Beclin 1 expression than younger ones(P < 0.05). the diffuse-type carcinomas showed less Beclin 1 expression than intestinal and mixed type ones(P < 0.05). kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that Beclin 1 expression was positively correlated to favorable prognosis of the can-cer patients(P < 0.05). Conclusion Beclin 1 expression is closely linked to pathogenesis,metastasis and differentiation of gastric cancer. Beclin 1 might be employed to indicate the favorable prognosis of gastric cancer patients and regarded as a target of gene therapy.
