Objective:To observe the effect on ovarian cancer immunotherapy by dendritic cells (DC) which activated by Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) induce antigen-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and to provide some help to ovarian cancer immunotherapy.Methods: Interleukin (IL)-12,and IL-10 of DC were tested after inducing by EpCAM.Subsequently,EpCAM specific CTL CD8+ was induced by EpCAM-DC.The therapeutic effect and interferon (IFN)-γ of EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL on normal ovarian epithelial cells IOSE80 and ovarian cancer cell SKVO3 was detected.After treatment of EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL,the volume of ovarian tumor of bearing BALB/c-nu/nu mice was detected.Meanwhile,the morphology changes of tumor tissue were observed by HE staining.Results: Compared with PBS,EpCAM stimulation significantly inceased surface markers DC80,DC83,DC86 and HLA-DR levels,and added up to 4.79,4.85,4.60 and 10.91 times (P<0.05).EpCAM stimulation significantly increased the expression of IL-12 and reduced the secretion of IL-10 (P<0.05).Both of DC-CD8+ CTL and EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL resulted in minute amount of IOSE80 cell killing (P>0.05).However,the killing rate of EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL on SKVO3 cells was 6.82-folds as much as that of DC-CD8+ CTL.Animal experiments showed that ovarian cancer transplantation tumor volume ratio after EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL treatment,was significantly lower than PBS group and DC-CD8+ CTL group,which reached 0.27 and 0.28 times,respectively (P<0.05).HE staining showed that EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL treatment resulted in significant changes of tumor tissues in pathology.Conclusion: EpCAM protein stimulated the maturation of DC that induced the production of EpCAM specific CD8+ CTL.EpCAM-DC-CD8+ CTL can effectively kill ovarian tumor cells and delay the growth of tumor,which is of great significance for the immunotherapy of ovarian cancer.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of acute pyogenic cholecystitis. Methods From January 2005 to May 2008,laparoscopic surgery was performed on 156 cases with acute pyogenic cholecystitis in our hospital. The clinical data of the patients were retrospectively reviewed. Four trocars were used for cholecystotomy. Major resection of the gallbladder or cholecystostomy was carried out if the anatomy of the Calot triangle was complex. Results Among the 156 operations,laparoscopic cholecystectomy was succeeded in 139 cases (89.1%); cholecystostomy was performed on 6 cases (3.8%); and 11 patients (7.1%) received laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC). None of the patients were converted to open surgery. The operation time ranged from 35 to 180 minutes with a mean of 75. Thirteen patients showed increased level of direct bilirubin and/or stones in the common bile duct (revealed by cholangiography during the bile duct dilation),and were cured by removing the stones under laparoscope and T tube drainage. The T tube was withdrawn in 2 months after cholangiography. Follow-up was available in all of the patients for 3 to 6 months. No jaundice,abdominal pain,fever or other complications occurred during the period. Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery is feasible,effective,and safe for acute pyogenic cholecystitis.

Objective To investigate the interference effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) on apoptosis of retinal cells in experimental retinal detachment (RD). Methods Twenty seven Sprague-Dawely rats were selected, and the left and right eyes were in the experimental control group and NGF group, respectively. After the RD model was set up by subretinal injection with sodium hyaluronate, 5 ?l NGF (1 ?g?l) was injected into the vitreous body of the right eyes which were in the NGF group; 5 ?l PBS was injected into vitreous body of left eyes which were in the experimental control group. The injection was performed once every 4 days till the end of the observation period. The eye balls of the 27 rats were extrafted 1.5, 3, 6, 12 hours, 1 day, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 days after the RD model was established. Another 2 rats were selected as the normal control, which underwent none of the injections but eyeball extraction at the end of the observation period. TUNEL and transmission electron microscopy were used to detect the apoptosis of the retinal cells. Cell counts and statistical analysis were used to assess results. Results Typical apoptosis cells were observed in the early time of RD. Apoptosis was found in each retinal layers, especially in inner and outer nuclear layers. The number of apoptosis cells increased as the time of RD was prolonged(P

BACKGROUND:Human femur medul ary cavity has torsional anatomic structure. If the femur medul ary cavity’s torsional structure is copied to the stem of the prosthesis, the prosthesis wil transform the force loaded to torque between femur medul ary cavity and prosthesis stem, and the torque is transmitted to the proximal femur when the prosthesis is inserted in the medul ary cavity and load force on the prosthesis. OBJECTIVE:To optimize the force transmission of the proximal femur, and to avoid the stress shielding at the proximal end of the prosthesis. METHODS:We reconstructed a three-dimensional (3D) model of the femoral canal with the CT images of specimen femur and took the 3D model as the design model for prosthesis stem. The customized stem model and the proximal model of standard prosthesis could be put together to form customized prosthesis. We took advantage of robot grinding technology to manufacture the customized prosthesis, and matched it with specimen femur canal. Finite element analysis simulation and experimental methods were used to analyze the relationship between the loading force on the prosthesis and the micromotion of proximal end of the prosthesis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The simulation and experimental results showed that the torsional structure matching by femoral canal and stem could effectively transmit the force on the prosthesis to the proximal end of the prosthesis in the form of torque. The torsional fretting of the proximal end of the prosthesis was related to the movement of the handle body. However, stem micromotion can be control ed by varying the matching size between stem and medul ary cavity.

Objective To explore the cosmetic effect of oncoplastic volume displacement in breastconserving surgery.Methods 43 cases of breast cancer in stages I and Ⅱ with pathological diagnosis by core needle biopsy were operated by extended resection of tumor combined with axillary lymph nodes dissection.Among the patients,wound cavity was repaired by direct skin suture without suture of mammary gland deletion in 22 cases,and another 21 cases were repaired by oncoplastic volume displacement technique in which skin suture followed by freeing remaining breast tissue flap and translocation to repair the mammary defect.All of them were treated with three-dimension conformal radiotherapy,standard chemotherapy and endocrine therapy after operation.3 years after partial removal of breast,a retrospective historical control study had been fulfilled to analyze breast cosmetic results between two groups.Results In direct suture group,the cosmetology score was 4.3 points and fine rate was 40.9% (9/22).In breast reconstruction group.the score was 4.8 points and fine rate was 71.4% (15/21).The breast cosmetic effect in breast reconstruction group was significantly better than that in direct suture group (P<0.01).Conclusion It will get better breast cosmetic results after operation to utilize oncoplastic volume displacement suture technique in breast-conserving surgery.

Objective To investigate the genetic diagnosis and molecular pathogenesis of four patients with combined deficiency of coagulation factor Ⅴ and Ⅷ and their family members. Methods The APPT, FT, FⅤ: C, FⅧ: C were detected for phenotypic diagnosis. Thrombin generation assay was applied to determine the generation condition of thrombin in patients and healthy controls. Cenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using the TianGen RelaxCene Blood DNA System;amniotic fluid DNA was extracted with phenol-ethyl ether method. The LMAN1 and MCFD2 genes were analyzed by PCR. Gene mutations were detected with nucleotid sequences by using end-labeling dideoxy method. Results The APTT of Proband 1 was significantly prolonged to 88. 2s and her PT was prolonged to 19. 6 s. The combined deficiency was identified with FⅧ (FⅧ: C 24. 2% ) and FV(FⅤ: C 9. 1% ). Proband 2 and 3 were sisters. The coagulation studies revealed that both of them had prolonged APTT (71.6 s and 74.6 s respectively) and PT (22. 1 s and 18. 3 s respectively). The combined deficiency of FⅤ (FⅤ: C 7. 6% and 14. 5% respectively) and FⅧ( FⅧ: C 25% and 19.6% respectively) were identified. Proband 4 was detected to have the prolonged APTT (70.3 s),PT (18.2 s) and the deficiency of FⅤ(FⅤ: C 9. 4% ) and FⅧ (15. 7% ). The remaining phenotype indicators test of the 4 probands were normal. The diagnosis for the 4 probands was combined deficiency of factor Ⅴ and Ⅷ. The proband 1 was detected to have compound heterozygous mutations in LMAN1 gene while having the LMAN1 and MCFD2 direct gene sequencing. One mutation was a small insertion located on exon 8 [ nt912insA (X71661. 1)] that resulted in p. 305frameshiftX20 and her mother was detected to have the same heterozygous mutation on the the locus. The other mutation was located on exon 11: nt1366C > CT ( X71661. 1 ) , p. 456Arg > Stop which was inherited from her father. Amniocyte DNA was detected to have only one heterozygous mutaion [nt1366C > CT (X71661. 1) , 456Arg > Stop] inherited from the father. No mutation in MCFD2 gene was found in proband 1 and her parents. The analysis of the MCFD2 gene in proband 2 and 3 revealed a novel homozygous single base substitution (nt411T>C) in exon 4, which results in the exchange of the amino acid isoleucine by the amino acid threonine at amino acid position 136 (p. Ile136Thr). Sequencing of the whole LMAN1 gene showed that the proband 4 had one homozygous nonsence mutation in the exon 5 of the LMAN1 ( nt615C >T,p. 202 Arg> Stop). All of the 4 probands with combined deficiency of FⅤ and FⅧ showed declined endogenous thrombin potential in the thrombin generation tests. Conclusion The combined deficiency of FⅤ and FⅧ in the proband 1 results from the compound heterozygous mutations ( nt1366C > CT and nt912insA) in LMAN1 gene, which are inherited from her parents respectively. The prenatal genetic investigation for the patient mother with preganency indicates that the fetus is a female carrier with one mutation (nt1366C > CT) inherited from the father. The homozygous missence mutation ( nt411T > C, p. Ile136Thr) in the MCFD2 gene accounts for the proband 2 and 3. The daughter of the proband 2 is a carrier with a heterozygous mutation inherited from her mother. The homozygous nonsence mutation in the LMAN1 gene of the proband 4 results in the deficency of F Ⅴ and FⅧ.
