Background Researches showed that CD4+CD25+ natural regulatory T cells (nTregs) play an important role in maintaining peripheral immune tolerance, while immunotherapy using in vitro-expanded induced regulatory T cells (iTregs) suppresses allograft rejection in multiple organ transplantation.The inducing method of iTregs still needs to be optimized.Furthermore,the effect of iTregs on grafts of keratoplasty is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the inducing and expansion method of iTregs and explore its inhibitory effects on corneal allograft rejection.Methods Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) were isolated from C57BL/6 mice femora and cultured.CD4+ CD25+ T cells and CD4+ CD25-T cells were isolated from mouse spleen and separated using flow cytometry.The CD4+CD25-T cells were divided into negative control group (CD4+CD25-T cells), CD3/ 28 antibody bead group (CD4+CD25-T cells+CD3/28 antibody bead) ,2.5 ng/ml transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 induced group and 10.0 ng/ml TGF-β1 induced group.The iTregs was formed after induction of different concentrations of TGF-β1 and CD3/CD28 antibody bead (1 : 1).CD3/CD28 antibody bead (1 : 2) , interleukin-2 (IL-2) and TGF-β1 were used to expand iTregs.The phenotype and proliferation of iTregs were assayed by flow cytometry,and the inhibitory effect of iTregs on effector T cells (Teffs) was analyzed by mixed lymphocyte reaction.Allogenic keratoplasty model (C57BL/6→BALB/c) was build,and 0.1 ml iTregs or nTregs suspension or PBS was injected via posterior venous plexus of fellow eyes to assess the graft survival time.The use and care of the mice followed the ARVO statement.Results The CD4+CD25+ T cell proportions were (6±3)％ ,(91±4)％ ,(91±3)％ and (86± 6) ％ in the negative control group,CD3/CD28 antibody bead group, 2.5 ng/ml TGF-β1 induced group and 10.0 ng/ml TGF-β1induced group, showing significant increases in the CD3/CD28 antibody bead group, 2.5 ng/ml TGF-β1 induced group and 10.0 ng/ml TGF-β1 induced group compared with the negative control group (all at P＜0.01).The Foxp3+ T cell proportions of the CD3/CD28 antibody bead group,2.5 ng/ml TGF-β1 induced group and 10.0 ng/ml TGF-β1 induced group were (1.18 ±0.20) ％ , (8.70± 1.80) ％ and (21.80±3.36) ％ , showing significant increases in the 2.5 ng/ml TGF-β1 induced group and 10.0 ng/ml TGF-β1 induced group compared with the CD3/CD28 antibody bead group (both at P＜0.01).Compared with the nTregs, the expression of CD69 was lower, and the expressions of PD-1 and Foxp3 were raised in the iTregs (all at P＜0.01).The proliferation of Teffs were decreased when cocultured with iTregs in comparison with nTregs at 1 : 1,1 : 2,1 : 4,1 : 8,1 : 16 Tregs/Teffs rations (all at P＜ 0.01).The survival time of mouse corneal grafts was 4 weeks with the permanent tolerance of 50％ in the iTregs injected group,which was superior to the 3 weeks survival time and 17％ permanent tolerance in the nTregs injected group(P＜0.05).Conclusions TGF-β1 can induce CD4+ CD25-T cells to form iTregs, which highly express Foxp3.iTregs show a stronger inhibitory effect on the growth of lymphocytes than nTregs, and therefore suppress the graft rejection after keratoplasty.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of Mckeown-type minimally invasive esophagectomy in para-recurrent laryngeal nerve lymphadenectomy. Methods A total of 163 cases underwent minimally invasive McKeown resection for esophageal carcinoma in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into routine treatment group (n=63), right recurrent nerve lymph node dissection group (right group, n=53) and bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph node dissection group (bilateral group, n=47) according to the operation modes. The postoperative pathology, operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative hospitalization time, number of lymph nodes and pneumonia, anastomotic fistula, laryngeal nerve injury and other complications were compared between three groups of patients. Pathological conditions were consisted of the location of tumor, the degree of differentiation, T stage and pathological stage. Postoperative complications were followed up for 6 months. Results There were no significant differences in tumor location, pathological differentiation degree, T stage and pathologic stage between three groups. The amount of bleeding was more in the routine group than that of the right group and the bilateral group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the amount of bleeding between the right group and the bilateral group. The total lymph nodes and thoracic lymph nodes were increased in order in routine group, the right group and the bilateral group, and there was significant difference between three groups(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in other operation data and complications between three groups. Conclusion McKeown-type minimally invasive esophagectomy shows good feasibility and safety for para-recurrent laryngeal nerve lymphadenectomy .

Objective To study the role of urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in pediatric Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP). Methods Urinary levels of KIM-1 were examined using ELISA in 48 children with HSP including 23 HSPN children (HSPN group) and 25 non-HSPN children (HSP group), and 20 healthy children. The levels of urinary creatinine and 24-hour urine protein were also detected. The results were analyzed and compared among groups. Results The ratio of urinary KIM-1/creatinine (Cr) in HSPN children was signiifcantly higher than that in the other two groups (P<0.05). There was no signiifcant difference in the ratio of urinary KIM-1/Cr between HSP group and the control group (P>0.05). The ratio of urinary KIM-1/Cr had no correlation with 24-hour urine protein in all HSP children (r=0.239, P=0.590). Conclusions Urinary KIM-1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of pediatric HSPN.

Objective To detect the expression of Livin,an apoptosis-inhibiting protein,and Smac,an apoptosis-promoting protein,in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) lesions.Methods Skin specimens were obtained from the lesions of 80 patients with BCC and normal skin of 30 human controls.Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the pmtein expression of Livin and Smac in these specimens.Chi-square test was conducted to compare the expression rate of Livin and Smac protein between the lesional and control specimens.The relationship between the protein expression of Livin and Smac in BCC was analyzed by Spearman correlation coefficients.Results The expression rate of Livin protein was significandy higher (77.50％ vs.3.33％,x2 =49.04,P ＜ 0.001),while that of Smac protein was statistically lower (46.25％ vs.100％,x2 =26.47,P ＜ 0.001),in BCC than in the control specimens.No significant difference was observed in the expression rate of Livin or Smac protein between nodular ulcerative and pigmented BCC specimens (75.41％ vs.80.00％,x2 =0.001,P ＞ 0.05; 47.54％ vs.40.00％,x2 =0.28,P＞ 0.05) or between nodulocystic and pigmented BCC specimens (73.58％ vs.80.00％,x2 =0.03,P ＞ 0.05; 45.28％ vs.40.00％,x2 =0.13,P ＞ 0.05).There was a negative relationship between the protein expression of Livin and Smac in BCC lesions (r =-0.432,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The upregulated expression of Livin and downregulated expression of Smac may be invoved in the occurrence and development of BCC.

Objective To explore the assessment system of humanistic communication in the grad-uation examination of pediatric residents. Methods A humanistic communication assessment program and an evaluation form were designed and put into practice in the graduation examination of pediatric residents in 2016 and 2017 in Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University and the scores were collected and analyzed to compare the differences in pediatric residents who have undergone system-atic physician-patient communication scene training and who didn't. With this analysis, the assessment system was further improved. Results Of all the 5 dimensions, communication content, nonverbal skills, and communication effects and the comparison of their respective scores were statistically significant. The scores of the residents who have undergone systematic physician-patient communication scene training are much better than those who didn't. Conclusion This assessment system focuses on the investigation of ability. From the design of examination questions and assessment scenes, to the evaluation of students per- formances, only when candidates have mastered the skills of communication can they do well in examina-tions and achieve good results.
