BACKGROUND:Several studies have demonstrated that the number of alveolar epithelial cells decreases gradually as pulmonary fibrosis develops,but the reasons remain unknown.The expression of P16,CyclinD1,and CDK4 might be abnormal and P16-CyclinD1/CDK4 call cycle regulatory pathway may play an important role in the progressive reduction of alveolar epithelial cells during pulmonary fibrosis.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the dynamic expression of P16,CyclinD1,and CDK4 in the pulmonary tissue of bleomycin-inducad pulmonary fibrosis mice.METHODS:Pulmonary fibrosis was induced in 6-week-old KM mice by intratracheal injection of bleomycin(BLM group).The control mice were administered the same volume of physiological saline(control roup).At 3,7,14,and 28 days after modeling,hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe the pathomorphological changes of lung tissue.P16,CydinD1,and CDK4protein expression in lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the BLM group,typical changes of pulmonary fibrosis were observed,and P16 and CDK4protein expression in the pulmonary tissue increased with time,but CyclinD1 protein expression was decreased with time.P16and CDK4 protein-positive calls in the BLM group were more than in the control group.Compared with the control group,P16protein expression in the BLM group was higher at 14 and 28 days after modeling(P<0.01)and CDK4 protein expression was higher at 7,14 and 28 days after modeling(P<0.05).CydinD1 protein-positive cells and protein expression were greater at 3and 7 days after modeling in the BLM group(P<0,05),but they were less at 28 days after modeling(P<0.05),than in the control group.At 14 days after modeling,CydinD1 protein-positive cells in the BLM group were more,but CyclinD1 protein expression was ess,than in the control group(P<0.05).These findings suggest that P16,CyclinD1 and CDK4 protein expression was abnormal during pulmonary fibrosis and P16-CyclinD1/CDK4 cell cycle regulatory pathway greatly results in progressive reduction of alveolar epithelial calls during this process.

Objective:To investigate the anti-tumor effect of Hyperoside.Methods: Human γδT cells were amplified by isopentenyl pyrophosphate from peripheral blood cells.The proliferation capacity of γδT cells was measured with CCK-8 assay after treated with different concentrations of Hyperoside.Cytotoxicity of γδT cells was detected with LDH assay , and the expression of granzyme,perforin CD107a and IFN-γonγδT cells were measured by flow cytometry before and after treatment.Results: Hyperoside could significantly stimulate the proliferation of γδT cells at the concentration of 3.13-12.5 μg/ml.Cytotoxicity and expression of granzyme,perforin and IFN-γofγδT cells were increased after treatment.Conclusion:Hyperoside could enhance cytotoxicity of humanγδT cells through up-regulation of granzyme ,perforin CD107 a and IFN-γexpression.

Objective To investigate the effects of hydrocortisone (HC) on proliferation and killing activity of NK cells against pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells in vitro.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy people were isolated and cultured with NK cells medium containing IL-1S.When the purity of NK cells reached above 70％,different concentrations of HC (10-6,10-5,10-4,10-3 μmol/L) were added and co-cultured with NK cells for 7 days.And NK cells without HC were used as control.CD3-CD56 + NK cell numbers of each group were countered by trypan blue staining.Perforin,granzyme B and IFN-γ expression of CD3-CD56+ + NK cells were verified by flow cytometry.NK cells and SW1990 cells were co-cultured with a 20∶1effector to target ratio,then the cytotoxic activity of NK cells against SW1990 cells were analyzed by CCK-8 kit.Results After treatment with different concentration of HC for 7 days,NK cells purity of each group reached 70.72％ ～ 76.39％,and it was not significantly different with that in control group [(72.61 ± 3.76) ％].The proliferation folds of NK cells treated with 10-6,10-5,10-4,10-3 μmol/L HC were (9.13 ± 0.94),(9.67 ±1.51),(10.33±1.07),(8.40±1.47) times,respectively,while it was (4.23 ±0.82) times in control group (all P ＜0.01).The killing effects of NK cells on SW1990 cells were (58.58 ± 4.89) ％,(62.27 ± 5.63) ％,(64.02 ± 5.79) ％,(63.88 ± 3.61) ％,which were higher than that in control group [(57.46 ± 5.11) ％],moreover,the difference between NK cells of 10-4 μmol/L HC treatment group and control group was statistically significant(P ＜ 0.05).The expressions of perforins of 10-4,10-3 μmol/L HC treatment group were (96.71 ± 3.04) ％,(97.56 ± 2.18) ％,which were significantly higher than that in control group [(92.40 ±3.53)％,P ＜0.05 or 0.01].The expression of granzyme B in 10-5 μmol/L HC treatment group was (78.23 ±2.94)％,which were significantly higher than that in control group [(73.68 ±3.52) ％,P ＜0.05].The expressions of IFN-γ in 10-5,10-4,10-3 μmol/L HC treatment group were (96.61 ±2.04)％,(97.58 ± 2.17)％,(98.00 ± 1.77)％,which were significantly higher than that in control group [(92.44 ± 2.74)％,P＜0.01].Conclusions HC can promote IL-15 activated NK cells proliferation and enhance NK cells mediated killing activity against SW1990 cells with proper concentration,and up-regulation of perforin,granzyme B and IFN-γ expression may be the main mechanisms.

Objective:To investigate the effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) on hunmanγδT cells on the expression of CCR5 and killing function in vitro.Methods:UsingγδT medium to cultivate peripheral blood mononuclear cell( PBMCs) in vitro.After co-cultured with various concentrations of 2-DG for 48 h,the expression of CCR5 and killing activities of γδT cells for each group were detected by flow cytometry and CCK-8 methods.Results: 2-DG could not promote the growth of γδT cells with the increase in concentration from 0 μmol/L to 1.0 μmol/L and decreased thereafter.The certain concentration ( 0-2.0 μmol/L ) of 2-DG could upregulate the expression of CCR5 in dose dependent manner.Besides,at 0.5μmol/L and 1.0μmol/L of 2-DG could increase the ex-pression of CD107a and perforin and have no effect on the granzyme B.Conclusion: Human γδT cells isolated from peripheral blood treated with 2-DG could promote the expression of CCR5 and increase the killing activities at certain concentration in vitro.

Objective:To investigate the effect of glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitor TWS119 on hunman γδT cells growth and phenotypic characteristics. Methods:Using γδT medium to cultivate human peripheral blood γδT cells in vitro. After co-cultured with different concentrations of glycogen synthase kinase-3β( GSK-3β) inhibitor 4, 6-disubstituted pyrrolopyrimidine ( TWS119 ) for indicated time,growth curve and Wnt/β-catenin activation of in each group were determined by CCK-8 and Western blot assays. The CD62L and CD45RA expression theγδT cells were detected using flow cytometry. Results:Wnt/β-catenin pathway ofγδT cells could activate by TWS119. In the first group,TWS119 could upregulate the expression of CD62L and CD45RA in dose dependent manner while inhibit the growth and ratio of γδT cells. In the second group,TWS119 could promote the growth and ratio of γδT cells with the increase in concentration from 0 μmol/L to 4. 0 μmol/L and decreased thereafter. Besides,TWS119 could promote the expression of CD62L in a dose-dependent and had no effect on the CD45RA. Conclusion: Human γδT cells isolated from peripheral blood treated with TWS119 gave rise to two subsets of CD45RA+CD62L+γδT cells and CD62L+γδT cells.

Objective To identify the diagnostic value of ADC combined with DWI in benign lesions and malignant lesions of testis. Methods 35 patients with testicular lesions confirmed by operation and pathological examination in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively, including 18 benign lesions and 17 malignant lesions.The mean ADC values of normal tissue and parenchyma of testicular lesions were measured and statistically analyzed by K ruskal-W allis test,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was delineated. The optimum ADC value for differential diagnosis of malignant testicular lesions was analyzed and determined.Results In 33 cases of normal testicular tissue DWI showed homogeneous high signal,and mean ADC was(1.137 ± 0.119)×10-3mm2/s.18 cases of benign lesions mostly showed unrestricted diffusion,and mean ADC was(1.104 ± 0.463)×10-3mm2/s.In 17 cases of malignant lesions DWI showed high signal,and mean ADC was(0.778 ± 0.198)×10-3mm2/s.The comparison of ADC mean values between malignant testicular lesions and normal tissue as well as benign lesions of testis showed significant difference(P<0.05).The optimum ADC to distinguish malignant testicular lesions from benign testicular lesions was 0.911×10 -3mm2/s(82.4% sensitivity and 82.4% specificity). Conclusion DWI combined with ADC value is beneficial to the preoperative diagnosis and differential diagnosis between malignant testicular lesions and benign lesions of testis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of virtual reality (VR) on cognitive function and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease. MethodsA systematic search of CBM, CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed was carried out to identify randomized control trials (RCT) about the effect of VR technology on patients with Parkinson's disease from inception to February 29th, 2024. The control group received routine cognitive training, balance training or physical therapy, and the experimental group received VR technology. The quality of articles was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration's 5.1.0 RCT risk assessment tool for bias. The meta-analysis was performed using Revman5.4. GRADE was used to evaluate the evidence quality of outcome indicators. ResultsA total of 13 literatures involving 426 patients were included. Allocation concealment and blind methods were not described in most literatures, and selective reporting of research results or other biases was unclear. VR technology could improve the Motreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score (MD = 1.11, 95%CI 0.31 to 1.90, P = 0.006), Trail Making Test (TMT)-A score (MD = -6.25, 95%CI -11.71 to -0.78, P = 0.030) and depression scale score (SMD = -0.56, 95%CI -0.95 to 0.18, P = 0.004) of patients with Parkinson's disease; however, it did not improve TMT-B score (MD = -6.01, 95%CI -28.16 to 16.14, P = 0.590), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS)-Part II score (MD = -2.11, 95%CI -4.97 to 0.75, P = 0.150) and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) score (MD = -0.92, 95%CI -4.03 to 2.19, P = 0.560). For quality of evidence, MoCA score, UPDRS-Part II score and PDQ-39 score were low, and depression score and TMT score were moderate. ConclusionVR technology can improve the cognitive function and depression of patients with Parkinson's disease; however, no significant improvement is found in activities of daily living and quality of life.
