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

Objective:To study the radiotherapy sensitization of recombinant human endostatin in patients with cervical cancer.Methods:Sixty patients with advanced cervical cancer (stage ⅡB to ⅣA) from July 2017 to November 2018 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were selected. The patients were divided into experimental group and control group according to random number table with 30 cases each. The patients in experimental group were treated with recombinant human endostatin combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy, while the patients in control group only received chemoradiotherapy. The serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were measured 1 week before treatment and 1 week after treatment, and short-term efficacy was evaluated 3 months after treatment.Results:The objective remission rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) in experimental group were higher than those in control group: 93% (28/30) vs. 87% (26/30) and 97% (29/30) vs. 93% (28/30), but there were no statistical differences between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of adverse reactions between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Compared with that before treatment, the serum VEGF and bFGF after treatment were significantly lower, experimental group: (88.07 ± 37.53) ng/L vs. (227.27 ± 142.61) ng/L and (21.03 ± 5.75) ng/L vs. (38.34 ± 18.17) ng/L, control: (120.04 ± 81.22) ng/L vs. (197.34 ± 142.41) ng/L and (24.04 ± 7.29) ng/L vs. (39.78 ± 13.35) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); after treatment, the serum VEGF and bFGF in experimental group were lower than those in control group, but there were no statistical difference between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For patients with advanced cervical cancer, recombinant human endostatin combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy can further decrease the serum levels of VEGF and bFGF, improve the sensitivity of chemoradiotherapy, and enhance the short-term efficacy.
