Objective:To locate the region of antigenic epitopes recognized by monoclonal antibody(Z8) against human tumor necrosis factor ?(hTNF ?).Methods:Several recombinant fusion expression vectors were constructed which contained hTNF ? mutant genes deleted different parts respectively. After induction with IPTG, the fusion proteins were expressed and analyzed by SDS PAGE and Western blot.Results:Z8 specially recognized the fusion products which contained amino acids from 92 to 157 of hTNF ?, but not GST and its fusion protein with amino acids from 1 to 91 of hTNF ?.Conclusion:The antigenic epitopes recognized by Z8 were located in the sequence region 92 157 of hTNF ?.

Animal models of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)especially adjuvant arthritis(AA)in rats and collagen induced arthritis(CIA)in mice have much character similar to human RA in pathological mechanism,clinical representation and so on. The models are more ideal in investigating RA and selecting drugs of anti inflammation and immunity. To discuss the pathological mechanism and the relation between animal models of RA and clinic will be important not only to research RA in pathology,physiology,nervous endocrine immunity and so on,but also to find out safety and effective drugs of treatment RA. The articl summarizes several animal models of RA in establishment,pathological and clinical changes,inflammatory immune regulation and so on.

The effects of selenium-enriched yeast (Sey) on DTH in immunosuppressive mice have been investigated. It was found that Sey (30, 60, 90 mg?kg-l?d-1?6 d, ig) was able to antagonize lowered DTH by cyclophospha-mide (Cy); Meanwhile, the thymus and spleen weights were increased by Sey (30, or 60 mg?kg-1?d-1) in immunosuppressive mice. Sey also potentiated the lowered ConA and LPS-indu-ced proliferation of splenocytes in DTH mice at the doses of 30, 60, or 90 mg ?kg-1 and 60 or 90 mg?kg-1 respectively. These results suggested that Sey could enhance the functions of lymphocytes.

Objective To investigate the effect of positive pressure ventilation on radiosensitivity of the patients suffering from primary lung cancer. Methods Thirty cases of lung cancer were randomly divided into two groups: ① combining therapy group: patients treated with posi tive pressure ventilation using BiPAP respirator and radiotherapy;② simple radi otherapy group. The changes of PaO2, SaO2, blood white cells and the cellula r immunological function were observed before and after treatment. Resul ts Nasal or naso-facial positive pressure ventilation with BiPAP respi rator increased PaO2 significantly with the maximum of 7.5 kPa, SaO2 was ma inteined at above 95%. No significant change for the cellular immunological func tion was found in the combining therapy group (P>0.05)and only one patient with leukopenia(6.7%). But in the radiotherapy group, the lymphocyte transfor mation efficiency and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were obviously decreased(P<0 .01), and leukopenia was found in 5 cases(33.3%). Conclusion Nasal or naso-facial positive pressure ventilation with BiPAP respirator could improve the effect of radiotherapy for lung cancers. It could also increase PaO 2 significantly and has protective rote to the marrow and cellular immunologic al function of the patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of contrast-enhanced digital subtraction MRI in musculoskeletal malignant tumors.Methods Fifty patients with musculoskeletal malignant tumors were scanned by contrast enhanced T 1WI with an injection of Gd-DTPA (0.1 mmol/kg), and digital subtraction was performed between post-contrast-enhanced images and pre-contrast-enhanced images. Musculoskeletal malignant tumors were evaluated by means of a contrast-to-noise ratio (C/Ns). Imaging sign of the musculoskeletal malignant tumors were compared between subtraction MR images and conventional contrast enhanced MR images.Results Contrast-enhanced digital subtraction MR images were better than conventional contrast enhanced MR images. All cases were confirmed by operation or pathology. All the lesions had higher C/Ns on subtraction MR imaging than on conventional contrast enhanced MR images. C/Ns was 109.74?5.10 (?s) for subtraction MR imaging and 23.61?3.16 for conventional contrast enhanced MR images (t=101.51, P

Object To study the feasibility of flocculation procedure on Bushenhuoxue Decoction, using chitosan instead of alcohol. Methods Using chitosan clarifier to the flocculation procedure of Bushenhuoxue Decoction; selecting the optimum content of chitosan and the density of decoction according to the total extract, and the content of icariin, comparing with the flocculation procedure by alcohol sedimentation. Results Chitosan clarifier could make the decoction clarify as alcohol does. On the retaining of active compounds, the former was better than the later. Conclusion Chitosan can be used to the flocculation procedure of Bushenhuoxue Decoction instead of alcohol.

Objective To assess surgical strategies and its therapeutic effect on treating tumors invading of the great vessels. Methods 23 patients underwent tumor resection along with reconstruction of great vessels from Jan. 2001 to Dec. 2005 were retrospectively reviewed. Results 19 cases (82.6%) experienced radical resection along with reconstruction of great vessels, 4 cases (17.4%) underwent palliative resections. 20 cases (86.9%) were followed up by various imaging examination methods. 4 cases (17.4%) died perioperatively and 7 cases (30.4%) had complications in perioperative period. Up to Aug. 2005, the postoperative survival times in patients were from 1.5 to 59.0 months. 3 cases (15.0%,3/20) existed more than 48 months, 4 cases (20.0%,4/20) more than 36 months, 6 cases (30.0%,6/20) more than 24 months, 9 cases (45.0%,9/20) more than 12 months and 12 cases(55.0%,11/20)more than 6 months. No complications related to vascular graft occlusion and tumor recurrence next to grafts occurred in these patients. In 2 cases appeared partial thrombosis in grafts in perioperatively. Conclusion Combination of radical resection of tumor and reconstruction of great vessels could extend survival time and improve quality of life in selected patients with tumor invading thoracic and abdominal great vessels.

[Objective]To verify whether or not the modified open-door laminoplasy preserving semispinalis cervicis insert into axis is effective in preventing postoperative axial symptom and maintaining postoperative cervical sagittal alignment.[Method]Since March 2002 to December 2003,forty-eight patients underwent modified open-door laminoplasy preserving semispinalis cervicis insert into Axis,among them,thirty-two patients who were followed up for more than 2 years were included in this study.Preoperative and postoperative JOA score,degree of axial symptom,ranges of neck motion,cervical curvature index were recorded and compared.[Result]Preoperative and postoperative JOA score was(9.04?2.9)and(12.5?3.1)respectively,with recovery rate as(44.9?26.9).There was significant difference between preoperative evident axil symptom rate(46.8%)and postoperative evident axil symptom rate(18.7%),while no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative ranges of neck motion,cervical curvature index was seen.[Conclusion]Modified open-door laminoplasy is less invasive to the posterior extensor mechanism especially the semispinalis cervicis than conventional open-door laminoplasy.This new procedure is effective in preventing postoperative morbidities often seen after conventional laminoplasy with adequate decompression of the spinal cord.

Objective To verify whether the modified open-door laminoplasty with C3 laminectomy is effectve in preventing postoperative axial symptom. Methods Since March 2001 to March 2005, 44 patients who underwent modified open-door laminoplasty with semispinalis cervicis insertion intact were included in this study(group A). 50 patients who underwent conventional open-door laminoplasty in the authors' department during the same period were served as control(group B). Preoperative and postoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association(JOA) scores, the degree of axial symptom, ranges of neck motion, cervical curvature index were recorded and compared. Results The average JOA recovery rate was 59.2%?11.3% for group A and 60.1%?19.5% for group B. There was no significant difference in JOA recovery rate between two groups. The rate of patients with evident axial symptoms was 22.7% in group A and 54.0% in group B, and the difference was statistically significant(P
