Objective To analyze the distribution of T lymphocyte subsets in tumor microenvironment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods The levels of CD3+ CD4+ CD8- ,CD3+ CD4- CD8+ ,CD3+ CD4+ CD8+ ,CD3+ CD4- CD8- T cell and CD4+/CD8+ ra- tio in tumor microenvironment of 35 cases PTC, 25 cases benign thyroid lesion and 15 healthy eases were detected by flow cytometry. Results Local tumor tissue of 35 cases PTC and 25 cases benign thyroid lesion, and blood of 15 healthy cases were collected. The ratio of CD4+/ CD8+ in blood, tumor microenvironment of benign thyroid lesions and PTCs decreased significantly ( P<0.01). The levels of CD3+ CD4+ CD8+ cell in tumor microenvironment of PTC and benign thyroid lesion were higher than that in peripheral blood( P<0.01). But the differ- ence of the level of CD3+ CD4+ CD8+ cell between PTC and benign thyroid lesion was not significant ( P>0.05). The levels of CD3+ CD4- CD8- cell in tumor microenvironment of benign thyroid lesion were higher than those in PTC and peripheral blood(P<0.01). The difference of the level of CD3+ CD4- CD8- cell between PTC and peripheral blood was not significant (P>0.05 ). The differences of CD4+/CD8+ ratio and the level of each of T lymphocyte subset such as CD3+ CD4+ CD8-, CD3+ CD4- CD8+, CD3+ CD4+ CD8+, CD3+ CD4- CD8- cell between 15 PTC cases with lymph node metastasis and 20 PTC cases without metastasis were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusions CD8+ T cell is the main immune cell in tumor microenvironment in PTC. The local cell-mediated immunity of PTC is in the status of obviously suppressed. But the obvious increase of CD3+ CD4+ CD8+ and CD3+ CD4- CD8- T cells in tumor microenvironment in thyroid benign lesion may be beneficial for creating the location for immune responding against tumor. The distribution of T lymphocyte sub- sets in tumor microenvironment in PTC is not associated with lymph node metastasis.

Objective To investigate the changes of osteopontin (OPN) expression in murine colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and its role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).MethodsThirty-two male BALB/C mice were randomly assigned into 4 groups: control group (group A), DSS-induced murine colitis model group (group B), salazosulfapyridine treatment group (group C) and infliximab treatment group (group D). Plasma OPN concentration was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). OPN mRNA level was detect by using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and protein expression in colonic tissues was analyzed by using Western blotting. The location expression of OPN in colonic tissues was determined by immunohistochemical staining. ResultsIn group A, B,C and D, the plasma concentrations of OPN were (5.26±1.93) ng/ml, (10.21±2.37) ng/ml, (4.58±1.83) ng/ml and (4.82±1.83) ng/ml,respectively: the mRNA levels of OPN in colonic tissues were (0.36±0.16), (0.71±0.17),(0.32±0.07) and (0. 34±0. 08), respectively; the protein levels of OPN in colonic tissues were (0.44±0.10), (0.85±0.04), (0.61±0.11) and (0.58±0.17), respectively. The OPN-positive cell numbers in lamina propria mononuclear were (46.6±10.9), (155.5±43.8), (73.1±6.8) and (70.6±8.3), respectively. The expression of OPN in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P<0.05). Compared with group B, the expressions of OPN in group C and D were significantly decreased (all P valus <0. 05). No significant difference was detected between group C and D. Conclusions The study shows that the expression of OPN significantly increased in DSS-induced murine colitis and decreased after treated with drugs. OPN-mediated immune response contributes to DSS-induced murine colitis.

BACKGROUND:Digital three-dimensional model which can reflect the fine structure of the chambers inside heart not only enhances the understanding of cardiac physiology, but also provides basic medical data for the study of cardiac electrophysiology simulation and endocardial electrophysiological mapping navigation. OBJECTIVE:To construct the digital three-dimensional model of cardiac cavity from sectional data and in conformity with the actual anatomical structure. METHODS:Image segmentation was accomplished in MATLAB environment. Firstly, registration of human cardiac cavity slice dataset was realized. Secondly, classifying each composition was achieved by clustering method according to color characteristics of the image. Then, both cardiac cavity and related connected region was distinguished by region growing method. At last, the processed image was reconstructed through dedicated medical processing software into three-dimensional model of the cardiac cavity. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The proposed method could reconstruct quite exquisite three-dimensional model of the cardiac cavity. In models, left and right atrial and ventricular structure was clear. Aorta and superior vena cava were visible. Three tricuspid and mitral valve were also observed. Results indicated that reconstructed model can reflect the anatomical characteristics of cardiac cavity accurately, and provide basic medical data for the study on electrophysiological simulation and endocardial electric mapping.

BackgroundSweep pattern visual evoked potential(SPVEP) acuity,as an objective detective technique of visual function,can be used to measure visual acuity in children and uncooperative adults.Recent studies have shown that the amplitude-logarithm of the visual angle (A-LogVA) function regression method was more accurate than the amplitude-spatial frequency (A-SP)function regression method in evaluating SPVEP acuity.Objective This study was to explore the clinical use of SPVEP acuity in visual developing children and compare the evaluating the SPVEP acuity of children between A-SP function regression method and A-LogVA function regression method.Methods Twenty-six eyes of 26 asthenopic children with age range of 3-12 years and 31 age-matched normal children were enrolled in this study.SPVEP acuity was recorded with GT-2000 NV ( GUOTE MEDICAL APPARATUS LTD,China) using sinusoidally modulated horizontal gratings of 10 different spatial frequencies from 0.99 to 12.89 cpd as stimulus.The responses were averaged and displayed through discrete Fourier transformations (DFT) on the monitor display.SPVEP acuity was estimated by using both the SPVEP A-SP function regression method and the SPVEP A-LogVA function regression method.The LogMAR chart was used to acquire LogMAR visual acuity.ResultsIn the normal group,the correlation coefficient between LogMAR visual acuity and acuity calculated by the A-SP function regression method was 0.600 (P<0.01).The correlation coefficient between LogMAR visual acuity and acuity calculated by the A-LogVA function regression method was 0.733 ( P<0.01 ).The ANOVA of the LogMAR acuity and the SPVEP acuity calculated from the A-SP function regression method and A-LogVA function regression method were 113.173 (P<0.01 ),which indicated that there were significant difference among all of subjects.The differences of the mean values of LogMAR visual acuity and the SPVEP acuity calculated from the A-SP function regression method and A-LogVA function regression method were respectively 0.40±0.02,0.26 ±0.02 and 0.14 ± 0.02.In the amblyopia group,the correlation coefficient between LogMAR visual acuity and acuity calculated by the A-SP function regression method was 0.134 (P =0.515 ).The correlation coefficient between LogMAR visual acuity and acuity calculated by the A-LogVA function regression method was 0.456 ( P<0.05 ).The ANOVA of the LogMAR acuity and the SPVEP acuity calculated from the A-SP function regression method and A-LogVA function regression method were 3.433 (P<0.05),indicating that there were significant difference among all of subjects.The differences of the mean values of LogMAR visual acuity and the SPVEP acuity calculated from the A-SP function regression method and A-LogVA function regression method were 0.07±0.05,0.12±0.05 and 0.05 ±0.01 respectively.Conclusions SPVEP can evaluate the visual acuity in children,although SPVEP acuity may overestimate or underestimate acuity in comparison with different LogMAR visual acuities.The amplitude-LogVA function regression method is more accurate in extrapolating SPVEP acuity.
