Objective To detect the level of Tnl and T.2 type cytokines in the patients with lym-phoma in order to find out the laboratory evidence of tumor immunotherapy. Methods The levels of serum IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-10 were measured by cytometric bead array (CBA) in 92 patients with lymphoma, and 70 normal sera as control. Results The levels of TH1 type cytokincs in 92 patients with lymphoma were: IFN-γ (34.26 ± 33.48) pg/ml, TNF-α (8.17 ± 10. 09) pg/ml, IL-2 (3.74 ±1.72) pg/ml; and the levels of TH2 type cytokines were: IL-10 (6. 28±8.56) pg/ml, IL-5 (3.53 ±3.20) pg/ml, IL-4 (6.22±7.13) pg/ml. The levels of TH1 and TH2 cytokines in lymphoma patients were significantly higher than those in controls(P < 0.01) except TNF-α. And the rate of IL-2/IL-4 was signifi-cantly decreased in lymphoma patients(P <0.01). The level of IL-10 in Ⅲ/Ⅳ stage lymphoma patients was much higher than that in Ⅰ/Ⅱ stage patients(P <0.01). The level of IFN-γ/was significantly decreased in aged patients with lymphoma (P <0. 05). Conclusion TH 1/TH2 is imbalance in lymphoma, which may provide clinical index for the evaluation of progrossien and prognosis. In the lymphoma patients TH1/TH2 shifts to TH2, which may be the mechanism of tumor arising and transferring by immune escape from immu-nosurveillance.

Objective To study the inhibit efficiency of lake sediment phosphorus release by adding chemical reagents and to provide the technical basis for the comprehensive management of city lake.Methods In May 20,2008,Mochou Lake upper sediment and water samples were collected.The phosphorus forms of sediments,total phosphorus(TP),NaOH-P,HCl-P,inorganic phosphorus(IP),organic phosphorus(OP) were analyzed and the pH value and content of TP in water samples were determined.Each water(250 ml)-sediment(10 g) system was respectively added by 0-1 000.0 mg/L of Ca(OH)2,2.0-10.0 mg/L of A12(S04)3 and 0-25.0 mg/L of FeCl3.The pH value and content of TP in water were determined,then the control rate of TP release were calculated.Results The pH values were between 7.6-8.0,TP content was 2.0 mg/L in water of Mochou Lake.The contents of TP,HCl-P,NaOH-P,IP,OP were 2 187.06,1 383.89,526.48,1 910.37 and 276.69 mg/kg respectively.With the increase of Ca(OH)2 concentration,pH value of water increased rapidly,content of TP showed a decreasing trend,control rate of TP release was increased.With the increase of A12(SO4)3 or FeCl3 concentration,pH value of water declined slightly,content of TP showed a decreasing trend,control rate of TP release was increased.Conclusion Ca(OH)2,A12(SO4)3,FeCl3 can significantly inhibit the phosphorus release of sediments in Mochou Lake.

34 patients who suffered from NVG, excluding patients with shallow anterior chamber.All patients were assigned to groups A and B according the different therapy.Group A ( 15 eyes ) was treated with Ex -PRESS glaucoma filtration device implantation. Group B ( 19 eyes ) underwent a trabeculectomy combined with mitomycin C. All the patients were followed up to 1a.The results of best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( lOP ) , the combination of lOP lowering medications, complications were recorded statistically analyzed preoperative and 1d, 1, 4wk, 6 and 12mo after operation. · RESULTS: Mean lOP decreased significantly frompreoperative values in both groups ( P=0.01 ) .The both group had similar lOP values changes after 1, 4wk, 6, 12mo, and there were no significant difference in statistics (P=0.451).There was no significant difference in BCVA changes after operation in both groups ( P =0.832).Success rate was 66.7%and 63.1%at 1a after Ex-PRESS glaucoma filtration device and trabeculectomy, respectively. Anterior chamber bleeding occurred to 8 cases after trabeculectomy in group B and to 3 cases with Ex-PRESS glaucoma filtration device implantation in group A.Choroidal detachment occurred to 3 cases in
group A and 6 cases in group B. No other ocular or systemic adverse events were found during the follow-up duration.

AIM: To investigate therapeutic effects of combination therapy for neovascular glaucoma ( NVG) .
METHODS: This retrospective study comprised 34 eyes of 34 patients who suffered from NVG. All patients were assigned to group A, B, C and D according to the different combination therapies. Group A ( 11 eyes of 11 patients ) was treated with intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and panretinal photocoagulation ( PRP ) . Group B ( 10 eyes of 10 patients ) was treated with transcleral cyclophotocoagulation and PRP. Group C ( 6 eyes of 6 patients) was treated with 3 therapies together. Group D (7 eyes of 7 patients) was treated with 810nm transcleral cyclophotocoagulation and soft gas-permeable contact lenses. All the patients were followed-up for 1a. The best- corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( IOP ) were recorded and analyzed prior to operation and 1, 4wk, 6 and 12mo after operation.
RESULTS: All the post treatment IOP decreased significantly ( P<0. 05 ) from the values before therapy, and the IOP values after 4wk, 6, 12mo were not significantly different ( P > 0. 05 ) in statistics. Most patients' IOP can be controlled below 23mmHg after combination therapy. The visual acuity in group A after 1, 4wk, 6mo compared with those before treatment was significantly increased ( P<0. 05 ) in statistics and other groups did not significantly change before and after treatment (P>0. 05). Anterior chamber bleeding occurred to 2 cases after 1wk of transcleral cyclophotocoagulation. No other ocular or systemic adverse events were found during the follow-up duration.
CONCLUSION: After the combination of intraocular injection of the anti - VEGF drugs, 810nm laser cyclophotocoagulation and PRP, most patients with NVG disease can be effectively treated, can effectively control IOP, and retain part of the visual function, significantly improve the quality of life. In the short - term, combination therapy is safe and effective for NVG, which provides us an available strategy to conquer NVG by simply programmable operation and less suffering.

Objective To study the effect of myocardial ischemic preconditioning on activity of ATPase and creatine kinase(CK) in high blood fat rat. Methods High blood fat rat mode was established from SD rats.The rats were randomly divided into three groups: ischemic preconditioning(IPC), ischemic/reperfusion(I/R) and control group.The activity of CK in coronary outflow,the activity of malonyldialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione perodxidase(GSH-Px) and ATPase in myocardium were dectected. Results CK and MDA were significantly less in IPC group than those in I/R group.In IPC group,the activity of SOD,GSH-Px,Na~(+)-K~(+)-ATPase,Ca~(2+)-ATPase and Ca~(2+)-Mg~(2+)-ATPase were much higher than those in I/R group. Conclusion Myocardial ischemic preconditioning can protect high blood fat rat from ischemic/reperfusion injury.

Objective To assess the enhancement effect of diagnostic ultrasound combined with microbubbles in the generation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)and nitric Oxide(NO)in endothelial cells.Methods Normal cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)were divided into blank control group(A group),simple microbubble group(B group),simple ultrasound group(C group)and ultrasound combined with microbubble group(D group).According to different conditions,group D was divided into three sub-groups:different time groups(1 min,5 min,10 min);different machinery index(MI)groups(0.09,0.4,1.0),different microbubble concentration groups(5×10~8/ml,2.5×10~8/ml,1.25×10~8/ml).Cell morpha was observed in the light microscope immediately and 24 h after the intervention,respectively.RT-PCR was used to measure the relative expression of eNOS in cells.NO kit was used to measure the NO Ievels in culture medium.And statistical methods were used to analyse the experimental data.Results NO and eNOS were significantly higher in group D than the other three groups.When MI=1.0,microbubble concentration=2.5×10~8/ml,and irradiation time=10 min,the increase of eNOS and NO in group D was the most obvious.Furthermore,the cell morphology had no significant change in the light microscope immediately and 24 h after the intervention.Conclusions Ultrasound combined with microbubble can increase the generation of eNOS and NO in endothelial cells.
