Dendritic cells(DCs) are known as the most efficient antigen-presenting cells that are potent stimulators of both B and T cell immune responses.The biological characteristics and culture in vitro of DCs,preparation of DC vaccines,experimental and clinical studies in tumor immunotherapy by DC vaccines are reviewed in this article.

Objective Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare malignant small round cell tumor .This paper aimed to study the clinical and pathological features of primary pulmonary primitive neuroectodermal tumor . Methods We collected 2 cases of primary pulmonary PNET to review the clinical and pathological features .Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect immune mark-ers, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was applied to detect EWS translocation. Results 2 patients were aged 33 years and 17 years.Microscopically, the tumor cell was composed of single small round cells in diffusion or in distribution of sheets or beams , with scant cytoplasm , oval or spindle-shaped nucleus , high mitotic count .Irregular tumor necrosis scattered in the tumor along with visi-ble rosette structure.Immunohistochemical study showed that the tumor cells were positive for CD 99, FLI-1 and Syn, while CKpan, EMA, Desmin, CgA, TTF1, CD34 were negative.EWS/FLI1 translocations were detected positive in both the cases .2 patients died 7 months and 32 months after operation , respectively . Conclusion Primary pulmonary PNET is rare , so the selection of appropriate im-mune markers (CD99, FLI-1, Syn) and FISH for the detection of EWS translocation helps to improve the accuracy of diagnosis .

Objective To explore the clinical outcomes and complications of the Ilizarov technique for the treatment of femoral infec-tious ununtied fracture and bone defect.Methods A total of 40 patients with femoral infectious ununtied fracture or bone defect were admit-ted into our department from July 2006 to September 2012.After radical debridement,patients were given osteotomy and Ilizarov external fix-ation,and distraction osteogenesis were used in the treatment of bone defects.And the clinical effects and complications of the treatment were evaluated.Results All of the patients were followed up for 12 ~32 months (24.5 months averagely).Totally 39 patients of them acquired bone healing,and the mean healing time was 15.5 months (12 ~26 months).The knee joint range of motion of 32 patients were obviously decreased after operation (P =0.031).There were 10 cases of partial hip joint range of motion decrease,22 cases of leg length discrepancy (more than 1.1 cm),1 case of Iatrogenic vascular injury,and 10 cases required autologous cancellous bone graft.Pin loosening,deep infec-tion,clubfoot deformity,and deep vein thrombosis or bleeding were founded in parts of the patients.Conclusion Ilizarov technique can ac-quire success in the treatment of femoral infectious ununtied fracture and bone defect,but it has many complications.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of the interventional thrombolytic therapy in acute segmental renal infarction.Methods From December 2007 to November 2015 data of patients with acute segmental renal infarction treated in our institute were retrospectively reviewed. There were 5 male patients and 2 female patients, All patients age ranged from 45 to 76 years old ( median 70 years old), All patients had clinical symptoms,including left flank pain with vomiting in 3 patients and right flank pain with vomiting in 4 cases. 4 cases with cerebral thrombosis, atrial fibrillation and hypertension, 3 cases had hypertension and diabetes.4 cases was possible of renal artery embolism diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound, renal arteries showed no abnormality, while other 3 cases had no obvious symptoms.CT test revealed low density area wedge-shaped, coated substrate edge, but no obvious occupying lesions in the pole of the kidneys.Furthermore, enhanced scan showed uneven enhancement, delayed distortion, and the lesion density below the renal parenchyma in the pole of the kidneys.Digital subtraction angiography ( DSA) were performed and the patients were given saline 20 ml and urokinase200 000 U at 15 minutes interval through indwelling catheter injection two times, followed by normal saline 20 ml and urokinase100 000 U injection once.Subsequently, the patients were given urokinase 100 000 U through the indwelling catheters infusion every four hours.Concurrently, the patients were given 6 000 U of low molecular weight heparin sodium injection subcutaneously every 12 h, as well as expansion treatment. 24 hours after the treatment, observing the infarction area by the original DSA catheter angiography.Results All patients were successfully treated.Followed up for 3 months to 7 years, 1 patient died of cerebral infarction and hypertension after 8 months, other patients were alive without evidence of renal infarction recurrence in CT examination, and condition of patients with atrial fibrillation gradually recovered. Conclusion The diagnosis of ASRI requires enhanced CT and DSA examination due to its rare incidence and the high misdiagnosis rate in clinic.Early diagnosis and use of interventional thrombolytic therapy method is a feasible and effective treatment method.

Results The product purity and yield of caffeates by the HPD-100 type macroporous adsorption resin were the highest and up to 52.2% and 87.6%. Conclusion The HPD-100 type macroporous adsorption resin shows better comprehensive adsorption property. It is available for the enrichment of caffeates in C. setosum.

Objective To analyze the DNA methylation status of polyploid complex of Pinellia ternata. Methods Methylation sensitive amplified polymorphism(MSAP) technique was carried out to analyze the methylation status of polyploid complex of P.ternata. Thirty-four selective primer amplifications were used to check the status of cytosine methylation DNA samples. Results A total of 7 708 bands were obtained.Among them 5 636 bands,each representing a recognition site cleaved by one or both of the isoschizomers(Hpa Ⅱ and Msp Ⅰ),were amplified.Furthermore,methylation patterns varied among the four polyploids:heptaploid,octoploid,nonuploid,and decaploid.Total and full methylation levels in P.ternata were 54%-58% and 24.1%-24.3%.All types of MSAP patterns detected in the study belonged to two classes,type Ⅰ and Ⅱ. 52.5% of detected bands belonged to Type Ⅰ; Another 47.5% were type Ⅱ,which showed the methylation differences among the four polyploids. Conclusion The results demonstrate DNA methylation events occur in P.ternata and the general methylation levels are higher.
