Micromonospora distributes extensively in environment. But most of them have not been known because the limitation of isolation and taxonomic approach. The phenotypic information such as morphological, cultural and physiological characteristics have been applied widely in the taxonomy of Micromonospora. The functions of molecular methods become more and more important in the taxonomy of Micromonospra accompanying with the development of the polyphasic taxonomy. Micromonospora is one of the most important sources in finding new bioactive compounds, some of them can yield antibiotics, such as gentamicins, rafomicins and newmicins, some of them can degrade natural rubber and fibrin. It indicated in recent years’ study that some bioactive compounds with particular chemical construction could be found from Micromonospora. These compounds can identify cancer cells and kill them effectively.

Objective To establish a method for detection of RhD(+) red blood cells mixed in D-negative blood by flow cytometry(FCM).Method RhD(+) and RhD(-) RBCs were mixed according to predefined ratios.Cells were indirectly labeled,with IgG anti-D labeled as the first antibody,and FITC-anti-IgG F(ab')2 as the second antibody.The percentage of RhD(+) RBCs was determined by FCM,and the best dosage of IgG anti-D was also defined.The ratio of red cells in the two groups,measured by FCM,was compared with the actual ratio.The consistency of method was also evaluated.Results The effective dosage of IgG anti-D was 1∶4,and 50?l/1?106 cells.When the actual percentages of RhD(+) cell among RhD(-) cells were 2.5%-0.312%,the correlation coefficient between the percentages measured by FCM and the actual percentages was 0.987.The same tubes,containing 10% and 2.5% RhD(+) RBCs,were each tested for 10 times,and their coefficient of variation were 3.4%,and 4.9%,respectively.Conclusion The method of quantifying the RhD(+) RBCs in D-negative blood by FCM is feasible and repeatable,which deserves a further clinical application.

Objective To explore the levels of serum chemokine in the patients with gastric cancer using cytometric beads array (CBA) and to find out the laboratory evidence for gastric cancer immunotberapy.Methods Forty-five patients with gastric cancer,thirty patients with benign gastric diseases and forty healthy controls were included.The chemokine levels of interleukin-8 (IL-8),regulated upon activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES),monokine induced by IFN-γ (MIG),monocyte ehemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) and interferon-γ induced protein-10 (IP-10) in serum of these three groups were measured using CBA ,then these data were analyzed using BD CBA analysis software.Results The levels of serum chemokines in healthy controls were (176.4±20.7) μg/L for IP-10,(111.3±17.2) μg/L for MCP-1,(503.9±47.2) μg/L for MIG,(472.4±116.7) μg/L for IL-8,respectively.In gastric cancer patients,the levels were (266.6±24.7) μg/L for IP-10,(100.4,70.8-193.5) μg/L for MCP-1,(1614±275.4) μg/L for MIG,(500.0±164.8) μg/L for IL-8.The levels of serum chemokines in patients with benign gastric disease were (207.9±31.7) μg/L for IP-10,(121.2±23.6) μg/L for MCP-1,(514.5±63.0) μg/L for MIG,(480.2±134.8) μg/L for IL-8,respectively.The levels of IP-10 and MIG among these three groups were significantly different (IP-10:F = 3.52,P < 0.05,MIG:F = 9.27,P < 0.01).The levels of IP-10 were elevated in the cancer patients compared with healthy controls (P < 0.05),while the levels of MIG were elevated significantly in the cancer patients compared with healthy controls and benign disease controls(t=3.29,P < 0.01,t=2.84,P<0.01).Conclusions CBA is a novel method with convenience,sensitivity and accuracy for the detection of serum ehemokines.The concentration of IP-10 and MIG in gastric cancer patients are elevated,indicating its implication in cancer pathogenesis and metastasis.Measurement of serum chemokines will lay the groundwork for therapeutic strategy in gastric cancer by inhibiting and anti-chemokine.

Objective To investigate the expression of galectin-10 in CD4+CD25+CD127low/-regulatory T cells(Treg) and the correlation between expressions of galectin-10 and Foxp3.Methods CD4+CD25+CD127low/-Treg cells and CD4+CD25-CD127+ T cells were isolated from PBMC of healthy volunteers and lymph nodes of gastric cancer patients by flow cytometry.Following RNA micro-extraction RT-PCR analysis was used to detect mRNA expression of galectin-10 and Foxp3.Results The mRNA expression of galectin-10 and Foxp3 were dominant in Treg cells,whereas nearly no expression in CD4+CD25-CD127+ T cells.The results from PBMC of healthy volunteers and lymph nodes of gastric cancer patients were consistent between.Conclusion The expression of galectin-10 was obviously high in Treg cells,so it may become a novel marker for phenotypic characterization of Treg cells.

Abstract? AIM: Through the establishment of penetrating keratoplasty model of rats, to detect the role and its mechanism of immature dendritic cells with IL-10 gene modified.? METHODS: Allogeneic penetrating corneal transplantation in rat model was performed. SD rats were randomly divided into positive control group, GFP-DC group, 8-DC and IL-10-GFP-DC group.At 3d before keratoplasty, the rats were given tail intravenous injection with the same amount of PBS, bone marrow 8-DC ( DC had cultured for 8d ) from donor Wistar rats, GFP-DC after 48h transfection and IL-10-GFP-DC.Rats were observed under slit-lamp for corneal graft cases every day, and recorded rejection index and corneal graft survival time.At 14d after keratoplasty, pathologic and immunohistochemical examinations were performed.?RESULTS:Compared with GFP-DC group and 8-DC group, corneal graft survival time of IL-10-GFP-DC group was significantly longer ( P<0.01 ); at 14d after keratoplasty, corneal opacity, edema, neovascularization and rejection index of IL-10 -GFP-DC group were significantly lower (P<0.01).Pathological examination showed that in the three experimental groups corneal inflammation was lighter than the positive control group without significant central graft neovascularization. Immunohistochemistry showed: compared to the positive control group, GFP-DC group and 8-DC group, CD4+, CD8+, CD25+, IL-2+, NK+and NF-κB+positive cells in IL-10-GFP-DC group were lower(P<0.01).? CONCLUSION: After donor -derived immature dendritic cells pretreated, corneal graft survival was significantly prolonged, successfully induced corneal transplantation tolerance. CD4+, CD8+, CD25+, IL-2+, NK+and NF-κB+positive cells are involved in corneal allograft rejection regulation, IL-10-GFP-DC may reduce CD4+, CD8+, CD25+, IL-2+, NK+and NF-κB+positive cell infiltration, inhibit corneal transplant rejection.

Objective To explore the clinical value of urethral dilation in treatment of female bladder outlet obstruction. Methods Thirty-five female bladder outlet obstruction patients were selected, and all the patients failed for more than 1 month inαreceptor blocker treatment. The patients underwent urethral dilation under local anaesthesia, once a week, for a total of 12 times. The international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score (QOL) and residual urine volume before and after treatment were examined. Results The IPSS, QOL and residual urine volume after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment: (10.23 ± 6.31) scores vs. (21.41 ± 3.71) scores, (2.31 ± 0.65) scores vs. (5.43 ± 0.60) scores and (20.73 ± 10.59) ml vs. (85.23 ± 12.15) ml, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01). Conclusions The urethral dilation is one of the effective treatments for female bladder outlet obstruction patients who fail in αreceptor blocker treatment. It can make a part of patients avoid invasive examination and surgery, and it is worth to be popularized in clinic and primary hospital.

This study was aimed to explore recognition models and to establish statistical pattern recognition methods of cold-hot property markers based on lipid components GC-MS chromatogram of Chinese materia medica (CMM). GC-MS fingerprints of lipid components contained in 60 kinds of cold or hot property of CMM were used as the research object. The database was established. Five types of model establishment strategies were compared. Optimal modeling patterns were screened for the identification of herbal property markers of lipid components GC-MS chromatogram. The results showed that support vector machine (SVM) was the best model to discriminate cold or hot property among 60 types of CMM, which were able to effectively mark the characteristic area. The strongest markers tending to cold property was at the retention time of 61.550 min, while the strongest markers tending to hot property was at the retention time of 31.395 min. It was concluded that cold or hot property of CMM had close relationship with lipid components. The lipid component was one of the material bases of CMM. The mathematical statistical model based on material base and herbal property can be used to identify and predict the cold and hot property of CMM.
