Objective:To discuss the risk factors in lung cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced severe neutropenia to provide reference for clinical drug use. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the patients with lung cancer,and the risk factors of severe neutropenia were statistically analyzed and found out. Results:The results of single factor experiments showed that the incidence of severe neutropenia was related with radiotherapy history,cycles of chemotherapy and the use time of granulocyte colony factor. Based on a binary logistic regression analysis,the history of radiotherapy and the use of granulocyte colony factor were the significant risk factors of severe neutropenia in the lung cancer patients. Conclusion:For the patients with radiotherapy history,it is better to choose chemotherapy drugs with lower toxicity,decrease drug dosage or preventively use granulocyte colony factor. The rational use of rhG-CSF can alleviate chemotherapy-induced severe neutropenia.

Objective:To investigate the changes of the vertical height and width of the alveolar bone six months after the alveolar ridge preservation in periodontal compromised molar sites of severe alveolar bone defects with clinical direct measurement,parallel periapical radiographs,and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT),and to analyze the effect of the three different methods of measurement.Methods:In this study,20 subjects requiring tooth extraction on account of periodontal disease with a total of 23 ex-tracted molars were enrolled.Extractions were performed atraumatically and patients were received alveo-lar ridge preservation procedure with Bio-Ossand Bio-Gide.Clinical direct measurements were taken after tooth extraction and during the implant surgery 6 months later,CBCT scans and parallel periapical radiographs were taken immediately after ridge preservation and 6 months later.The changes of alveolar ridge width and vertical height after six months were measured and analyzed through the above-mentioned three methods and the similarities and differences of the measured effect were compared.Results:There were no significant difference of alveolar vertical height in the center of the extraction sites,the center of distal aspect,and distobuccal aspect between the clinical direct measurements and the CBCT measure-ments (P>0.05),alveolar vertical height in other points and alveolar width measurements were statical-ly significant (P<0.05).After 6 months,1 0 sites of 1 0 subjects were received a flap and re-entered to perform dental implants surgery.The vertical height in the center of alveolar increased significantly and the changes of alveolar vertical height of clinical direct and CBCT measurement were (6.1 5 ±1 .73)mm and (6.59 ±2.53)mm,respectively.The measurements of the width of the alveolar bone were (8.45 ± 1 .1 8)mm and (8.52 ±1 .27)mm,respectively.The measurements of the two methods were not statisti-
cally significant (P>0.05).The change of the alveolar height in the center of the extraction socket after six months measured by parallel periapical was (5.84 ±4.28)mm,which was closed to the clinical di-rect measurement and the CBCT measurement.Conclusion:Clinical direct measurement and CBCT measurement were largely consistent in the evaluation of the alveolar bone height and width after the alveolar ridge preservation using deproteinized boving bone mineral (DBBM,Bio-Oss)and bioabsor-bable collagen membrane (Bio-Gide)in periodontal compromised molar sites of severe bone defects.

Objective To evaluate in vitro effects of specific small interfering RNA (siRNA)-silencing of the casitas B-lineage lymphoma b (Cbl-b)gene on immunocompetence of primary murine lymphocytes. Methods Spleens were resected from C57BL/6 mice, and splenic lymphocytes were sterily isolated and cultured in vitro. These lymphocytes were divided into 3 groups: silence group transfected with a Cbl-b-specific siRNA using the EntransterTM-R 4000 reagent, negative control group transfected with a negative control siRNA using the EntransterTM-R4000 reagent, blank control group receiving no treatment. After additional culture for 72 hours, ELISA was performed to measure levels of interferon γ(IFN-γ)and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)in culture supernatants of lymphocytes. In addition, the Cbl-b gene-silenced lymphocytes were co-cultured with B16F10 melanoma cells to evaluate their immunocytotoxic effects on melanoma cells. Results Splenic lymphocytes were successfully isolated from C57BL/6 mice and cultured in vitro, and the Cbl-b-specific siRNA was also successfully transfected into the primary murine lymphocytes and effectively down-regulated the expression of Cbl-b gene in them. Compared with the negative control group and blank control group, the silence group showed significantly increased supernatant levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α(all P < 0.05). The immunocytotoxic effect of lymphocytes on melanoma cells was significantly stronger in the silence group than in the negative control group. Conclusion Cbl-b gene silencing can promote secretion of IFN-γ and TNF-α by murine lymphocytes, and enhance their immunocytotoxic effects on B16F10 melanoma cells in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the effect ofT-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3) on TRP-2180-188 peptide-stimulated murine spleen lymphocytes co-cultured with B16F10 murine melanoma cells.Methods A recombinant plasmid pFUSE-TIM-3-mIgG2Aae1-Fc2 encoding TIM-3 was constructed.Then,the recombinant plasmid and an empty plasmid pFUSE-mIgG2Aae1-Fc2 were transfected into human 293T epithelial cells followed by 48-hour culture for the preparation of supernatants containing TIM-3 and Ig-tail respectively.C57BL/6 mice were immunized with the TRP-2180-188 peptide vaccine for 4 sessions.One week after the last vaccination,C57BL/6 mice were sacrificed,and spleen lymphocytes were collected and then cultured with the TRP-21180-188 peptide and interleukin-2 (IL-2) for 5 days,with lymphocytes untreated with the TRP-2180-188 peptide or IL-2 serving as the control group.Mitomycin-treated B16F10 murine melanoma cells and TRP-2180-188 peptide-stimulated lymphocytes were co-cultured with the presence of supernatants of 293T cells that had been cultured for 48 hours (blank control group),TIM-3-containing supernatants (TIM-3 group) and Ig-tail-containing supernatants (negative control group) separately.After 24 and 48 hours of co-culture,cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was performed to estimate the proliferative activity of lymphocytes,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the supernatant levels of interferon (INF)-γ and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,flow cytometry to determine the percentage of CD8 + T cells in the co-culture system.Results Enzyme digestion and sequence analysis showed that the TIM-3 gene was successfully inserted into the eukaryotic expression plasmid.After 48-hour culture,TIM-3 and Ig-tail expressions were detected in the supernatants of 293T cells transfected with the recombinant plasmid and empty plasmid respectively.As CCK-8 assay showed,the proliferative activity of lymphocytes was significantly lower in the TIM-3 group than in the blank control group and negative control group after 24-and 48-hour culture (78.06％ ± 6.37％ vs.100.00％ ± 10.42％ and 108.70％ ± 9.90％ at 24 hours,42.93％ ± 5.93％ vs.100.00％ ± 6.24％ and 168.00％ ± 2.98％at 48 hours,all P ＜ 0.05),so was the ratio of cellular proliferative activity at 48 hours to that at 24 hours (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the blank control group and negative control group,the TIM-3 group showed significantly decreased supernatant levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α after 24-hour (IFN-γ:192.96 γ 5.05 ng/L vs.216.44 ± 7.85 ng/L and 223.67 ±7.79 ng/L,both P＜ 0.05;TNF-α:58.43 ± 0.26 ng/L vs.26.43 ± 0.01 ng/L and 86.85 ± 1.12 ng/L,both P＜ 0.05) and 48-hour culture (IFN-γ:54.95 ± 0.57 ng/L vs.230.06 ± 4.23 ng/L and 167.24 ± 3.33 ng/L,both P ＜ 0.05;TNF-α:30.23 ±0.26 ng/L vs.26.84 ± 0.20 ng/L and 45.34 ± 0.22 ng/L,both P ＜ 0.05).In addition,the median percentage of CD8+ T cells was significantly increased in the TIM-3 group compared with the blank control group and negative control group after 24-and 48-hour culture (3.30％ vs.0.421％ and 2.22％ at 24 hours,4.06％ vs.0.577％ and 0.691％ at 48 hours,all P＜ 0.05).Conclusion TIM-3 in vitro can suppress the proliferative activity of and secretion of IFN-γand TNF-α by lymphocytes,but increase the percentage of CD8 + T cells in the co-culture system of TRP-2180-188 peptide-stimulated lymphocytes and B16F10 cells.
