Objective To assess the association between HLA-DQA 1 alleles and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in populations of Uygur nationality in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods Polvmerase chain reactionsequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) were used to analyze the HLA-DQA1 gene in 56 patients with SLE and 54 unrelated healthy controls of Uygur nationalitv in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Results Compared with the heahhv controls, the SLE patients showed signifieantly increased frequency of HLA-DQA1*0302 (x2 =10.032, P =0.004), but decreased frequency ofHLA-DQA1*0101 (x2 =5.676, P=0.017).Conclusion HLA-DQA1*0302 may be a susceptibility gene, while HLA-DQA1*0101 may be a protective factor for SLE in populations of Uygur nationality in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Objective To probe the influence of electron beam radiotherapy in different manners using different tissue equivalent boluses on skin and lung.Methods Adult female cavia cobayas were randomly divided into four groups as control group,fuU-time with bolus group,half-time with bolus group and without bolus group.Acute-irradiation animal models were established using electron beam in different manners with or without 0.5 cm tissue equivalent bolus.Pathological changes in lung,hair vesicle and fibroblast cell count were analyzed 40 clays after irradiation.Results The radiation dermatitis in the group with bolus was slighter than that of the group without bolus,but the radiation pneumonia was reverse.With bolus,the radiation dermatitis of haft-time group was slighter than that of full-time group.The injury repair of half-time group was more active than full-time group.Conclusions The treatment of haft-time bolus could protect lung without serious skin complications.

Objective:To study effects of large dose thymopeptides on T cell subpopulations of patients with malignant tumor under radiotherapy.Methods:Fifty one patients with malignant tumor under radiotherapy were divided into 2 groups with 100 mg and 200 mg thymopeptides respectively.The patients we re given thymopeptides,100 mg/d or 200 mg/d,iv, for 10 days.The positive percent ages of CD4,CD8,CD25 and CD56 in T cells of peripheral blood before and after thymopeptide treatment were determined by flow cytometry.Results:The positive percentages of CD4 and CD25 in T cells of peripheral bl ood after 100 mg/d thymopeptide treatment were significantly higher than those befor e thymopeptide treatment (P<0.05),while those of CD4，CD8，CD25 and CD56 in T cells of peripheral blood after 200 mg/d thymopeptide treatment all increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:These results suggest that large dose of thymopeptides can increase i mmune function of patients with malignant tumor under radiotherapy,and the curat ive effect of 200 mg/d thymopeptides is better.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of RapidArc technique on cervical cancer patients with various filling status of the bladder. Methods: Conventional fixed field intensity modulation radiated therapy (IMRT) is used as the benchmark. In 10 fe-males suffering from cervical cancer, two CT scans were performed for treatment planning:one with an empty bladder and the other with filled bladder. The prescribed dose was 50 Gy. The images of that with an evacuated bladder and that with filled bladder were planned in the dual-arc RapidArc and the 7-field IMRT, respectively. The implementor of the plan was the Varian TrueBeam linear ac-celerator. Dose-volume histogram was used to evaluate the data from each plan. Results:When the bladder was filled, IMRT and Rapi-dArc homogeneity were 1.05 and 1.04 (P>0.05), respectively. When the bladder was emptied, the homogeneity was 1.04 for both plans (P>0.05). With or without bladder filling, the conformity index was 0.71 and 0.73 for IMRT and RapidArc (P>0.05), respectively. The effect of V30 and V40 (volume for receiving doses of 30 and 40 Gy) on the intestine and the bladder was more favorable in a full than in an empty bladder. No significant difference between the two plans was observed. IMRT exhibited improved V30 on the rectum and on the bladder. RapidArc was much better in terms of monitor unit (MU) and deliver time. Conclusion:No significant differences in the homogeneity and conformity index between dual-arc RapidArc and 7-field IMRT were observed. Filled bladder is better than empty bladder in intestine and bladder protection in both RapidArc and IMRT. IMRT is better on V30 of the rectum and the bladder, whereas RapidArc improved MU and deliver time.

Objective:To study whether sacral lymph nodes should be included in the target volume delineation for those patients with early (stageⅠB-ⅡA) uterus cervix cancer during postoperative radiotherapy. Methods:Forty-six patients with early uterus cervix cancer were given postoperative three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) in our department for one month after radical resection. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. The sacral lymph nodes were not included in the target volume delineation in the treatment group. But they were delineated in control group. All the patents had no radiotherapy-related contraindications and signed the consent agreement. The patients were followed up. The local controlling rate and the incidence and degree of radioactive proctitis were compared between the two groups. Results:The local controlling rate of the two groups had no significant difference(t=0.000, P=1.000). The doses received by the 5% and 95% volume of the rectum(V_5, V_95), the average dose, and the minimum dose had significant difference between the two groups(t_(V5)=2.169, P_(V5)=0.041; t_(V95)=4.036, P_(V95)=0.001;t_(mean)=2.236, P_(mean)=0.036; t_(min)=2.265, P_(min=0.034), but the maximum dose received by the rectum had no obvious difference (t_(max)=0.518, P_(max)=0.610). The incidence of radioactive proctitis had significant difference between the two groups(t=2.174, P=0.190). Conclusion:For the early uterus cervix cancer patients who have recurrent risk after radical surgery, sacral lymph nodes should not be included in the delineation of target volume during 3D-CRT in order to decrease the incidence of radioactive proctitis.

AIM: To investigate the effects of angiotensin-Ⅱ (Ang-Ⅱ) on the proliferation and collagen synthesis in rat cardiac fibroblasts and the expression of Ang-Ⅱ receptor on fibroblasts. METHODS: [3H]-TdR and [3H]-prolin at different concentrations were incubated with the confluent fibroblasts of newborn rats stimulated by Ang-Ⅱ. Receptor of Ang-Ⅱ on fibroblasts and intracellular free calcium ions were examined by autoradiograms and fluorescence technique. RESULTS: In the presence of Ang-Ⅱstimulation, the increase in incorporation of [3H]-TdR and [3H]-prolin was much higher than that of control in a dose-dependent manner. Autoradiograms showed that Ang-Ⅱ was uniformly distributed over the membrane of the fibroblasts. The silver grains on fibroblasts were obviously decreased after adding unlabeled Ang-Ⅱ by the autoradiograms. The concentration of free calcium ions was increased in fibroblast. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that Ang-Ⅱ promotes fibroblast proliferation and the syntheses of collagen protein, in which Ang-Ⅱ binds to the membrane receptor of fibroblasts to activate the signal system in cells, such as intracellular free calcium ions.

Objective To identify the effect of both high glucose and high insulin on miR-145 level.Methods The human vascular smooth muscle cells ( VSMCs) were cultured and the proliferation of VSMCs was induced by high glucose and high insulin medium.The samples were divided into 4 groups: normal group, high glu-cose group (25 mmol/L), high insulin group (300 mU/L), high glucose and high insulin group.The ex-pression of miR-145 in VSMCs was assayed by real-time PCR.Proliferation of VSMCs was determined by MTT method After 72 h cultivation.The migration of VSMCs was analyzed by cell scratch test .VSMCs in each group was transfected by miR-145 virus ( lentiviral vector ) .Proliferation and migration were assayed after 48 h transfection.Results The expression of miR-145 in VSMCs of other three groups was decreased ( P<0.05 ) , especially the expression in the high glucose and insulin group was the lowest ( P<0.01 ) .Prolifera-tion and migration of VSMCs was promoted by high glucose and/or high insulin medium.Under fluorescent, transfection rate of VSMCs was about 80%after 48 h transfection.Proliferation and migration of VSMCs in each group after transfection were significantly lower than before ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusions High glucose and high in-sulin could decrease the expression of miR-145 in VSMCs, The overexpression of miR-145 may inhibit the prolif-eration and migration of VSMCs .
