Objective:To study the functional status of the monocytes-derived dendritic cells (DCs) plused with HBsAg from patients with chronic hepatitis B and their capacity of inducing the HBV- special cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs),and explore a new method of inducing the special anti-HBV cell-mediated immunity.Methods:Monocytes of patients were isolated from peripheral blood and incubated with GM-CSF+IL-4+TNF-? to induce DCs generation. Those DCs were pulsed with HBsAg to induce HBV- special DCs. The phenotype of DCs including CD1a,CD80,CD83,CD86,CD40 and HLA-DR was characterized by FCM and the stimulating reaction of allogenic T lymphocytes was detected by MTT assay. The concentration of cytokines such as IL-12 and IL-6 in supernate was tested by ELISA and the cytotoxicity of CTLs inducing by the DCs against HepG2 2.2.15 cells,HepG2 cells and K562 cells were detected by LDH assay.Results:The expression of CD1a, CD80, CD83,CD86, CD40, HLA-DR molecules on the DCs pulsed with HBsAg was higher than those of the control group (P

To identify the best inducing condition, we studied the expression of membrane protein HSP70 and mRNA of H22 cell at various temperature. Using MTT,RT-PCR, immunofluorescence and FCM techniques, we observed H22 cell survival rate, the expression of HSP70 mRNA and membrane HSP70. No effects of H22 cell survival rate under 42 ~ 43℃ was observed, but cell survival rate declined with increasing stress time at 44 ~ 45 ℃; the level of HSP70 mRNA decreased initially (0.5~4.0) hours but gradually resumed and increased from 8 to 12 hours at 42℃. Membrane HSP70 expressing cells were significently higher in heat shock treatment group than in a control group ( P

ObjectiveTo observe the dose of methadone and the compliance of patients to the methadone maintenance treatment(MMT).MethodsWe analyzed the status of 69 patients who were addicted to opiate medication and 44 patients who dropped out in our clinic until July 31,2010.ResultsThere was no significant relationship between patients' urine test and the dose.Crime caused the patients who dropped out.The percentage of positive urine did not decline as the dose increased,but the rate of patients who dropped and the number of positive urine test showed a significant correlation( r =0.523 P =0.000).Crime was the main reason that affected the compliance to MMT and caused dropping out.ConclusionThe use of MMT dose should be individualized.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the treatment results of perioperative radiation and conservation laryngeal surgery for advanced hypopharyngeal cancer. METHODS Forty seven patients with hypopharyngeal cancer treated with laryngeal function-sparing surgery were collected in this retrospective study. There were 3 posterior hypopharyngeal wall cancers and 44 pyriform sinus cancers. Forty four patients received preoperative irradiation,and three postoperatively. The types of surgery were:21 pyriform sinusectomies,16 pyriform sinusectomies accompanying with partial laryngectomies,and 10 partial hypopharyngectomies with near total laryngectomies. Six skin flaps and 2 jejunum flaps were used to repair the defects. RESULTS The 5 year survival rate of Ⅲ,Ⅳstage was 59 % and 50.2 % respectively and the laryngeal functions were preserved. CONCLUSION The policy of laryngeal function preservation was feasible in the treatment of locally advanced hypopharyngeal cancer. Suffice it to say that a combination of radiation and surgery was mandatory

0.05).The effective rate of group A was 52.38%(22/42),and group B was 32.35%(11/34).There was significant differences between the 2 groups(P

Objective:To explore the clinical measurements for preventing and curing epistaxis in patients irradiated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma by analyzing the related factors. Methods:Thirty patients irradiated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and consequently presented epistaxis were retrospectively reviewed by analyzing the clinical characteristics and measurements. Literature review was also performed. Results:Twenty-two cases were successfully rescued, and eight cases died (mortality rate:26.6%). Twenty-five cases underwent inflation sponge packing hemostasis, whereas three cases underwent endoscopic hemostasis with cauterization. Five patients underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and selective arterial embolization. For patients who underwent one irradiation course, the epistaxis latent period ranged from 3 to 12 years, and the amount of bleeding ranged from 200 mL to 1 200 mL. For patients who underwent more than one irradiation course, the epistaxis latent period ranged from 6 months to 3 years, and the amount of bleeding ranged from 300 mL to 8 000 mL. Conclusion:Packing through choanal atresia by using inflation sponge, cautery under endoscopy, DSA, and selective arterial embolization are useful and effective measurements for hemostasis. The epistaxis latent period and volume are related to the age, tumor stage, and ir-radiation course of the patients. Patients with advanced age, tumor stage, and more than one irradiation course have short latent period and high amount of bleeding.

OBJECTlVE To develop an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of pro-damine ( PDM) and its metabolite 2,4-dinitro-N3-propyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1,3-benzenediamine ( DTB) in rat plasma in order to study toxicokinetics of PDM in rats. METHODS SD male rats were administered a single dose of PDM ( ig: 100 and 1000 mg·kg-1; iv: 100 mg·kg-1 ) . LC-MS/MS method was used to determine PDM and DTB in rat plasma. Toxicokinetic parameters were fitted using DAS Ver2. 1. 1. RESULTS After ig administration of PDM 100 mg·kg-1 , the parameters of PDM and DTB were as fol-lows:AUC(0-t) was 2715±102 and (6845±316)μg·h·L-1, t1/2z was 9.0±1.4 and (7.1±1.3)h, Tmax was 7.0± 1.6 and (7.0±0.0)h, cmax was 146±51 and (473±103)μg·L-1. After ig administration of PDM 1000 mg·kg-1, the parameters of PDM and DTB were as follows:AUC(0-t) was 3401±242 and (10364± 573)μg·h·L-1, t1/2z was 8.8±2.1 and (6.0±1.8)h, Tmax was (7.0±1.6)h, cmax was 175±56 and (586± 152)μg·L-1 . The absolute bioavailability of PDM was 44.9%( 100 mg·kg-1 ) and 17.1%( 1000 mg·kg-1 ) . CONCLUSlON This method is suitable for the analysis of PDM and DTB in rat plasma. There is evidence that PDM and DTB display nonlinear toxicokinetic characteristics in the studied dose range.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) in pediatric interstitial lung diseases.Methods Retrospective data evaluation the efficacy and application of 10 undiagnosed pediatric interstitial lung diseases patients by No-X-ray guided TBLB between December 2013 and December 2014 were investigated.Results Specimens from all cases were successfully obtained,6 patients were confirmed by pathological diagnoses,and4 patients were confirmed by pathology and clinical manifestations.Among 10 patients,3 of them had allergic alveolitis,2 cases had bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP),1 had pulmonary vasculitis,2 cases had nonspecific interstitial pneumonia,and the other 2 had bronchiolitis obliterans.The complications include 2 pneumothorax,1 case was cured with thoracic cavity closed drainage,and the other case case did not receive special treatment and alleviated himself.No bleeding and other complications occurred.Conclusion The results suggest that TBLB is a safe and effective minimally invasive modality for the diagnosis of pediatric diffuse lung disease.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of meglumine adenosine cyclosphosp (MAC) on the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty four healthy rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n =6),I/R group (n =6),MAC pretreated group (n =6),and MAC treated group (n =6).Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model was made by separating and electrocoagulating vertebral arteries and clipping common carotid arteries in the latter 3 groups after anesthesia.The sham-operated group underwent vessel separation without clipping.L/R group was administered with nothing,while MAC pretreated group with MAC before ischemia,and MAC treated group with MAC just after ischemia.Blood was gathered from jugular vein before ischemia,and 30 min,1 h,and 2 h after reperfusion for testing IL-8,superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA).The brain tissue slice was observed by optical microscope.Results Compared to control group and before ischemia,the levels of IL-8 and SOD in serum were significantly increased and decreased,and the levels of MDA was significantly increased at 30 min after reperfusion in I/R group; the levels of IL-8 and MDA in serum were significantly increased,and the levels of SOD in serum was significantly decreased at 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion in I/R group.The levels of IL-8 in serum was less at 30 min and 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion in MAC pretreated group than in I/R group.At 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion,the levels of MDA in serum was less and the levels of SOD in serum was higher in MAC pretreated group than in I/R group.At 1 h and 2 h after reperfusion,the levels of IL-8 in serum were less and the levels of SOD in serum were higher in MAC treated group than in I/R group.The levels of MDA in serum were less at 2 h after reperfusion in MAC treated group than in I/R group.Compared to I/R group,pathological change was lighter in the MAC pretreated and MAC treated group.Conclusions MAC has a fine cerebral-protective effect and has no side effect.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of thoracic pedicle screw placement using the "funnel technique" and investigate its consistency in experimental study and clinical application.Methods The clinical data of three human cadavers and 11 patients with the installation of at least one thoracic pedicle screw at T1 -T12 from August 2006 to July 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. One junior spine surgeon lack of experience were responsible for placing these screws with the "funnel technique".The accuracy of screw placement and the complications related to the use of thoracic pedicle screws were analyzed by assessing postoperative CT scans. Results The mean follow-up time was 23.1 months,which showed no vascular or visceral complications, or iatrogenic neurological injury. The rate of unintended cortex perforations was 14% (10/72) in cadavers and 15% (8/55) in patients, respectively.The critical perforation occurred in two screws (3%) in cadavers and one screw (2%) in patients. There was no statistical difference between the percentage of cortex perforations in cadavers and patients. Of all the 11 patients, screw violation occurred laterally in six ( 11% ), medially in one ( 2% ) and superiorly in one (2%). No violations occurred inferiorly or anteriorly. For all patients, only one screw needed revision. The perforations made by the junior spine surgeon occurred in six screws in the first cadaver, three in the second cadaver and one in the third cadaver. Conclusions The "funnel technique" is a simple,safe, accurate and cost-effective technique for pedicle screw placement. The result of the experimental study is consistent with that of the clinical application. "funnel technique" is helpful for junior spine surgeons to master the technique of thoracic pedicle screw placement.
