Objective To study the effect of survivin gene expression on the lymphocyte’s proliferation and function in cultured K562 cells. Methods The constructed recombinant vector pEGFP-C1-survivin and the plasmid pTZU6+1-survivin encoding short hairpin RNA of survivin were transfected into K562 cells respectively to generate K562/survivin+ cells and K562/survivin-cells. K562/survivin+ cells were selected by G418. The survivin mRNA and protein levels in the 3 kinds of cells (K562/survivin+,K562 and K562/survivin-) were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry methods. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy subjects were co-cultured with these 3 cells respectively in mixed lymphocyte-tumor cell culture (MLTC). Lymphocyte proliferation in the supernatant was evaluated by MTT assay. Nature killer activity was detected by flow cytometry and IFN-? level was measured by ELISA assay.

Objective To evaluate the value of systemic ultrasound examination in prenatal diagnosis of fetus skeletal system anomaly combined with chromosomal abnormalities. Methods In 12 146 patients examined by systemic ultrasound in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from 2006 to 2013, 21 fetus with skeletal system abnormalities and chromosomal abnormalities were included in the study. And the correlation between skeletal system abnormalities and chromosomal abnormalities in fetus was evaluated. Results This study involves 21 cases of abnormal fetal skeletal system combined with chromosomal abnormalities. Among them, there were 5 cases of trisomy-21, 11 cases of trisomy-18, 3 cases of trisomy-13, 1 case of [46, XYt (6, 9)], and 1 case of (46, XY, 6 q-). In 19 cases, other system malformations were found, including nervous system abnormalities, facial deformity, cardiac structural abnormalities and intrauterine retardation. In the rest 2 cases, skeletal system abnormalities were the only structural malformation detected on prenatal ultrasound examination. Conclusion Systemic ultrasound can't only detect fetal skeletal system abnormalities but also provide clues for specific chromosomal abnormalities, which was useful in optimizing prenatal diagnosis.

Objective To explore the correlation between high-risk human papillomavirus(hr-HPV) viral load and severity of cervical lesion. Methods One thousand eight hundred and six women undergoing both hr-HPV DNA test by hybrid capture Ⅱ(HCⅡ) and colposcopic biopsy for histologic results were enrolled in this study.Correlation between hr-HPV viral load and pathological findings was investigated. Results Of 1 806 cases,641(35.5%) patients were positive for HPV DNA.23.2%(301/1299) of women with normal diagnosis had HPV infection,significantly lower than cervical lesion including cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN) and cervical cancer(P=0.000).Associations(odds ratio) among severity of cervical lesion and viral load were calculated.The significantly increased risk only existed between cervical cancer and CIN1 on high viral load(odds ratio,8.5;95% confidence interval,1.0-71.4;P=0.049).Furthermore,viral load values in CIN1,2,3 and cervical cancer were calculated and median analysis revealed non-significant difference(P=0.712). Conclusion The hr-HPV viral load can distinguish cervical lesion as CIN and cervical cancer from normal one,while the prediction of the severity of cervical lesion may be inadequate and need further investigations.
