Aim To prepare the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human CD28 and to study its biological feature. Methods The hybridoma cell lines were obtained by fusing spleen cells of Blab/c mice that had been immunized with murine lymphoma cells transfected with full-length huaman CD28 cDNA to myeloma cells Sp2/0. Ascites were induced to produce the mAbs. The specificity and affinity of the mAb 18G8 was verified by CD28 competitive inhibitory test and FACS. Reactivities of mAb 18G8 to PBTC, U266, 8226, Jurkat and Daudi cell were studied by indirect immunofluorescence staining. mAb 18G8-inducing proliferation of peripheral blood T cells (PBTCs) was determined by [3H]thymidine incorporation test. Results Five hybridoma cell lines were obtained. mAb 18G8 secreted by one of the them, belong to mouse IgG2a. It recognized a epitope different from which recognized by the standard mAb(clone CD28.2). The Reactivitrates of the mAb 18G8 to PBTC, U266, 8266, Jurkat and Daudi cells were 70.2％ , 99.3％ , 98.6％ , 76.4％ and 1.9％ , respectively, similar with CD28.2. It was indicated that different antigen epitopes expressed on all above cells. mAb 18G8 could promote the PBTC proliferation in vitro(SI=7). It was indicated that The substitution of mAb 18G8 for B7-1 molecule could also mediate the costimulatory signals. Conclusion 18G8 is a specific and functional anti-CD28 mAb it may be of significant value in basic studies and clinical application.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated source of autologous platelets after centrifugation, being used widely in plastic surgery and oral-maxillofacial surgery. Recent studies have showed that PRP can improve bone repair, vasculogenesis, and soft tissue repair. Composite of PRP and stem cells is applied in the field of orthopedics and tissue engineering. As a matter of fact, PRP has become a hot research topic. In addition, PRP plays an important role in the healing of chronic wound. This paper briefly introduces the main components of PRP and its clinical application, the mechanism for bone healing and soft tissue repair, as well as the latest research achievement and discussion in the shortcoming of PRP in clinical application.

Objective To compare the efficacy of the conventional PPD skin test and a new enzymelinked immunospot assay(TSPOT-TB)for diagnosing latent tuberculosis infection(LTBI)in patients with rheumatic diseases.Methods Two hundred and sixty rheumatic patients were enrolled,and all were screened for LTBI based on clinical history,chest X-ray,PPD skin test or TSPOT.Results The positive rate of TSPOT assay was 24.1%and that of PPD skin test was 39.4%.The overall concordance rate between the 2tests was 61.0%.Among PPD negative patients (n=149).29 were TSPOT(+)(19.5%).Among PPD(+)patients(n=98),69 were TSPOT(-)(70.0%).The patients who got BCG vaccination or had history of tuberculosis infection showed a significantly higher rate of positive result of PPD skin test than those who did not (P<0.05 or P<0.01).While in TSPOT assay,the BCG vaccination or history of tuberculosis infection did not show influence on TSPOT results(P>0.05).Of the 127 patients who received biological agents after screening for LTBI,9 patients were pretreated with isoniazide.Twenty-seven patients stopped biological agent treatment because of the positive results of PPD or TSPOT.Twenty three patients who had positive PPD but negative TSPOT results received biological agent treatment without isoniazide,and none of them developed active tubereulosis after 6 to 18 months of follow-up.Conclusion BCG vaccination affects the result of PPD test in rheumatic patients,but has no influence on TSPOT results.The infection rate of latent tuberculosis of rheumatic patients in our research is 23.8%detected by TSPOT.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of 18 cases of endocrine ductal carcinoma-in-situ (E-DCIS).

METHODSEighteen cases of breast cancer with features of E-DCIS were studied by light microscopy, histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. E-DCIS was diagnosed if the histologic patterns were compatible with those described in the literature and at least 50% of the tumor cells expressing two of the three neuroendocrine markers employed (chromogranin, synaptophysin and neuron-specific enolase).

RESULTSE-DCIS tended to occur in older women. All the patients were over 61 years old (mean age=71 years). The presenting symptoms were either palpable breast mass or had nipple discharge. Histologically, E-DCIS demonstrated an expansile intraductal growth pattern. Intraductal papilloma was not uncommon at the peripheral area of the tumor. The tumor cells were polygonal, oval or spindle in shape and contained abundant eosinophilic to granular cytoplasm and mildly to moderately pleomorphic nuclei. Intracellular or extracellular mucin was highlighted by periodic acid-Schiff (with diastase digestion) or alcian blue stains. Some tumor cells assumed a signet-ring configuration. All the three neuroendocrine markers were expressed by more than 50% of the E-DCIS cells. The neuroendocrine differentiation was further confirmed in some cases by CD57 and CD56 immunostaining. Pagetoid spread into adjacent ductolobular units was frequently seen in E-DCIS, and the expanded lobules were often not rimmed by myoepithelial cells. These two features helped to distinguish E-DCIS from usual ductal hyperplasia.

CONCLUSIONSE-DCIS represents a subgroup of low-grade DCIS, which carries characteristic morphologic features and immunophenotype. Conventional light microscopy usually permits a correct diagnosis. Ancillary histochemical and immunohistochemical studies can be helpful in doubtful cases.
