In order to synthetically train students to do scientific researches independently,inspire their enthusiasm and go-aheadism about study,and improve the quality of experimental teaching,we have been exploring to update experimental content and reform experimental system for many years,and have commenced a number of "Series Experiments".The setup of"Series Experiments" which means several separate experiments are organized together by their internal relations has already showed us a favorable effect.

Objective To explore the expression level of Tim-3,the marker of activated T_H 1 cells.in T lymphocytes in different sites from recipients with acute rejection.Methods The model of cervical heterotopic heart transplantation was established in mice Two groups were get up:the isograft group(C57BL/6→C57BL/6) and the allograft group (Balb/c→C57BL/6).Lymphocytes were isolated from peripheral blood,spleens,draining lymph nodes and grafts 3 or 6 days after transplantation.The expression of TIM-3 in CD4~+ and CD8~+ T subsets was detected by flow cytometry.Results There was no significant difference in Tim-3~+/CD4~+ and Tim-3~+/CD8~+ ratio in peripheral blood or spleens between two groups.As compared with the isograft group,the proportion of Tirn-3~+/CD4~+ cells was slightly elevated in draining lymph node(P<0.05),but the percentage of Tim-3~+/CD4~+ cells had no significant change between 3 days and 6 days in the allograft group(P>0.05).The expression of Tim-3 in CD4~+ and CD8~+ of graft infiltrating T cells was obviously increased in allograft group(P<0.01),and it was significantly (P<0.01) up-regulated on the 6th day as compared with that on the 3rd day.Conclusion The dynamic changes of Tim-3 expression in T lymphocytes in draining lymph node and graft were correlated with the progresston oi acute rejection in mice.

Objective To explore the subcellular localization of Galectin-9 and its effect on allogeneic immune response.Methods The plasmid pEGFP-N1 was inserted with Galectin-9 fragment which was amplified from pBKCMV-Galectin-9 by PCR.The recombinant plagmid wag then transfected into CHO cells using JetPEI in vitro.The cells were cultured in G418 selecting mediam to obtain the stably-transfected cells.The transcription and expression of Galectin-9 gene were verified by immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR.The solid-phase transgenic CHO cells or freshly-cultured supernatant wag added into the mixed lymphocyte response system to detect the inhibitory effect of Galectin-9.Galectin-9 protein wag administered intraperitoneally for 7d consecutively.Results The expression of Galectin-9 wag localized in the cytosol of CHO.The allogeneic mix lymphocyte proliferation was dose-dependently inhibited by the freshly-cultured supernatant from stably-transfected CHO cells.Furthermore,the supernatant from stably-transfected CHO cells dose-dependently inhibited the level of IL-2.The inhibitory effect could be reversed by Tim-3-Fc blocking.Administration of Galectin-9 significantly prolonged the survival of allogeneic cardiac transplants[(22.7±1.2)d vs(7.2±0.4)d)].Conclusion Galectin-9 may be secreted in physical situation to exert its immunomodulatory function on allogeneic immune response.Furthermore.Galectin-9 may be a novel therapeutic drug in transplant medicine.

To identify acute renal allograft rejection biomarkers in human serum, two-dimensional differential in-gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) and reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) were used. Serum samples from renal allograft patients and normal volunteers were divided into three groups: acute rejection (AR), stable renal function (SRF) and normal volunteer (N). Serum samples were firstly processed using Multiple Affinity Removal Column to selectively remove the highest abundance proteins. Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using 2-D DIGE. These differential protein spots were excised, digested by trypsin, and identified by RP-HPLC-ESI/MS. Twenty-two differentially expressed proteins were identified in serum from AR group. These proteins included complement C9 precursor, apolipoprotein A-IV precursor, vitamin D-binding protein precursor, beta-2-glycoprotein 1 precursor, etc. Vitamin D-binding protein, one of these proteins, was confirmed by ELISA in the independent set of serum samples. In conclusion, the differentially expressed proteins as serum biomarker candidates may provide the basis of acute rejection noninvasive diagnosis. Confirmed vitamin D-binding protein may be one of serum biomarkers of acute rejection. Furthermore, it may provide great insights into understanding the mechanisms and potential treatment strategy of acute rejection.

Objective:To explore the effect of pelvic floor muscle functional exercise based on Snyder hope theory in patients after prophylactic stoma retraction.Methods:74 patients with low rectal cancer who underwent prophylactic stoma retraction from July 2019 to June 2021 were randomly divided into intervention group and control group. The patients in the control group received routine nursing and pelvic floor muscle functional exercise. The patients in the intervention group received functional exercise intervention based on Snyder′s hope theory on the basis of the control group. The hope level and self-care ability of the patients in the two groups were evaluated before the intervention and 3 months after stoma restitution. The anal function of the patients in the two groups was evaluated 1 month and 3 months after stoma restitution.Results:Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the score of hope level and self-care ability between the two groups ( P>0.05). Three months after the operation, the score of hope level in the observation group was 36.20 ± 3.82, which was higher than that in the control group (31.26 ± 5.03) ( t = 4.63, P<0.05). Three months after the operation, the self-care ability score of the observation group was 123.57 ± 10.82, which was higher than that of the control group (108.23 ± 9.48) ( t = 6.31, P<0.05). One month and three months after stoma retraction, the anal function scores of the observation group were 12.03 ± 3.94, 5.91 ± 2.05 respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (13.86 ± 2.19, 7.26 ± 1.74) ( t = 2.40, 2.99, both P<0.05). Conclusion:Pelvic floor muscle functional exercise based on Snyder′s hope theory can improve the hope level of patients after stoma retraction, improve their anal function and improve their self-care ability.

OBJECTIVE: To screen for Vel- rare blood type donors and determine the frequency of SMIM1 c.64_80del allele in Yili Prefecture of Xinjiang, China. METHODS: DNA pooling and PCR-sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) was conducted to screen individuals carrying the SMIM1 c.64_80del variant, and Sanger sequencing of SMIM1 exon 3 was carried out to verify the genotype of those with the variation. SMIM1 intron 2 was also sequenced to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that may affect the expression of Vel antigen. RESULTS: Among 3328 blood donors, 14 were identified as heterozygotes for the SMIM1 c.64_80del allele, its allele frequency was 0.21%; no homozygous SMIM1 c.64_80 deletions was found. For SNP rs1175550, all of the 14 individuals had an AA genotype, among whom 5 carried heterozygous 7111ins GCA variant in intron 2. CONCLUSION The allelic frequency of SMIM1 c.64_80del in Yili area is approximately 0.21%, which is reported for the first time.
