Objective To investigate the changes of leukocyte derived cytokines,IL 1?,IL 6,IL 8,and TNF ?,in platelets concentrates (PCs) during storage,and to study the effect of leukodepletion on cytokine concentration in PCs and the incidence rate of febrile non hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR).Methods 8 bags of apheresed PCs from 8 voluntary donors were each divided into two identical portions (A and B).Group A underwent leukocyte filtration,while group B did not.Then both groups were stored at 22℃ for 5 days.The levels of cytokines (pg/ml),white blood cell (WBC) count and platelet count in both groups were tested on the day 0,3 and 5 during storage.In clinic,240 patients were randomly divided into two groups with 120 in each group to receive non filtered or filtered PCs (1 bag/patient).The incidence of FNHTR was investigated.Paired t test and ? 2 test were used in data analysis. Results There was a significant positive correlation between the content of WBC in PCs and the level of cytokines.On the 5th day of storage,residual WBC in leukoreduced PCs were less than 1?10 6/PC,the levels of cytokines remained the same as those on 0;however,WBC in non filtered PCs was (351?81)?10 6/PC,and the levels of IL 1??IL 6?IL 8 and TNF ? were 105.0pg/ml,269.0pg/ml,1840pg/ml and 42.0pg/ml respectively and increased 18 ( P

Objective To study the immunoregulation effect of three kinds of polysaccharides extracted from different tissues of Octopus dollfusi on immunosuppression mice.Methods Two kinds of immunosuppression mice models were built by ip,cyclophosphamide(CY) and sc.hydrocortisone(HC),respectively.The spleen and thymus were weighed and the index of the immune organs was calculated.The white blood cells were counted by automated hematologic analyzer.Results In certain concentrations(20～80 mg?kg-1),the three kinds of polysaccharides could antagonize the atrophy of spleen and thymus caused by CY and HC,and increase the weight of spleen and thymus;The polysaccharides could protect against leukocytopenia induced by CY and HC,and especially in low and middle dose.Conclusion The results suggested that three kinds of polysaccharides extracted from Octopus dollfusi have potent enhancement effect on non-specific immunity for the immunosuppression mice.

0.05).However,There were significantly positive correlation between MMP-9 level and abnormal volume on mean transit time map(r=0.371,P=0.026),time to peak map(r=0.379,P=0.023),cerebral blood flow map(r=0.447,P=0.006) and great vessel occlution(r=0.416,P=0.004) on magnetic resonance.Conclusions The serum MMP-9 level of acute cerebral infarction are significantly positively correlated with the change of magnetic resonance,but there are no correlation between MMP-2 and MMP-13 levels and the change of magnetic resonance.It suggests that the MMP-9 may be involved in the pathology of acute cerebral ischemia.

Objective To explore the dissociation, purity and the culture method of spinal motoneurons in vitro and to find out an effective way to identify spinal motoneurons.Methods Spinal motoneurons were isolated from spinal cord of embryonic rat. Spinal tissues were digested and then the motoneurons through 6.8% metrizamide density gradient centrifugation, were obtained by collecting the top layer of metrizamide cushion. After the glia adhered to the plate wall, the enriched motoneurons were collected and plated in 24-well plates at a density of 4?10~5/ml. Cytosine arabinoside was added to the culture system after 24 hours in order to inhibit the outgrowth of glia. L-15 serum medium was used for the first 48 hours and then changed by serum-free medium. Later, neurons were cultured with 50% exchanged medium every two days. Spinal motoneurons were identified by immunostaining with polyclonal antibody to choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) according to ABC method. Laser scanning confocal microscope was used to observe its structure.Results Spinal motoneurons were immunoreactive to the antibody against ChAT. The present experiment revealed that ChAT-positive cells more than 85% might live about seven to nine days.Conclusions This study suggests a method of spinal motoneuron culture successful. Spinal motoneurons could be specially labeled with ChAT antibody.

Objective To Construct fusion gene DNA vaccine pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 and fusion gene DNA vaccine pcDNA3/MDC-VP1,then the two vaccines were inoculated to mice and stuy their immunological effects.Methods B subunit of Shiga Toxin(STxB)gene fragment were amplified by PCR from the DNA of Shigella dysenteriae and Macrophage-derived chemokine(MDC)gene fragment was amplified by RT-PCR from the total RNA of a mouse spleen cells.The DNA fragments of STxB and MDC waere respectively linked to coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)VP1 by a DNA sequence which encode a flexible polypeptide(15 amino acids)to construct eukaryotic expression plasmids pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 and pcDNA3/MDC-VP1.BALB/c mice were randomized to 6 groups which were respectively immunized pcDNA3,pcDNA3/STxB,pcDNA3/MDC,pcDNA3/VP1,pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 and pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 for 3 times at 3-week intervals,intramuscularly(i.m.)in tibialis anterior muscle.The levels of the serum neutralizing antibodies were detected 20d after each inoculation.The mice were challenged with 7 LD50 CVB3 3 weeks after the last immunization.Results The fusion gene vaccines pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 and pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 were constructed successfully.The survival rates of each group were 10%,10%,15%,40%,20% and 75%,respectively,and the levels of neutralizing antibody titers,virused titers,were all consistent with those survive rates in each group.Conclusion Comparing with pcDNA3/VP1,pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 vaccine can induce a high level of neutralizing antibody titers and result in a higher survival rate in mice,while pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 induce a low level of neutralizing antibody titers and result in a lower survival rate in mice.

Objective To realize the construction and expression of human dsFv genes to rabies virus. Methods The genes of dsFv VH and VL were amplified by PCR-based point mutagenesis strategy. Then the genes were cloned into plasmid pET-22b (+). E. coli BL21(DE3) was transformed with the recombinant expression plasmid and the protein was induced in Luris-Bertani medium by addition of IPTG. The inclusion body proteins of VH and VL were denaturalized by GuHCl, and then re-naturalized in refolding solution to form dsFv fragments. Afterwards, we evaluated the antigen-binding activity of the dsFv and its stability as compared with its originative scFv. Results The fragment genes of dsFv to rabies virus were constructed successfully by PCR-based point mutagenesis strategy. Sequence analysis proved that cysteines were introduced into the position 44 aa of VH and position 100 aa of VL. The dsFv VH and VL genes were expressed in PET22b(+)/BL21(DE3). The VH and VL protein folded into the active dsFv antibody fragments which showed specific binding capability to rabies virus. Conclusion We succeeded in achieving the stabilization of the human scFv to rabies virus and obtaining the active human dsFv antibody fragments. This established a solid basis for further study of the biological activaty and clinical application of dsFv to rabies virus.

Medical Immunology is a multidisciplinary basic discipline,but its' abstract and complex leading most beginners daunting.Teachers should emphasize on ‘ transposition thinking' and stick the teaching concept of ‘ students-centered and teacher-guided learning' to the whole teaching process.Teacher should always make transposition thinking on how to stimulate students learning interest,how to guide students to learn autonomously,and how to make problem-based learning.This is important to build self-learning platform for the students and to achieve‘teaching' and ‘learning'win-win.
