Objective:To investigate regulatory immune response induced by DNA vaccination encoding T cell receptor V?5.2 or V?2.1 chain predominantly displayed on ovalbumin (OVA)-specific T cell clone.Methods:BALB/C mice were vaccinated with pcDNA3.1 encoding T cell receptor (TCR) V?5.2 or V?2.1 chain respectively.Using RT-PCR,transcription of the recombined plasmids was analysed. Cell proliferation was measured by 3H-TdR incorporation.CTL response was assayed by JAM test.Immuno-fluorescent assay was used to examine the anti-TCR antibody level and the number V?2 +T cells.Results:RT-PCR analysis showed that the recombined plasmids can be transcripted in vivo and in vitro.DNA vaccine with TCR variable chain effectively induced TCR-specific humoral and cellular immune response,V?2 +T cells was not depleted by V?2.1 TCR-DNA vaccination,but rather was anergy.Conclusion:Regulatory immune response can be induced by DNA vaccination encoding TCR V? or V? region in normal mice.

Objective:To analyze the cause of the blood heat syndrome in psoriasis.Methods: Made the investigation form about information of psoriatic patients through DME method and reference both Chinese and foreign documents,analyzed main component of data by SAS software.Results: The first main component of blood heat syndrome in psoriasis are infection,drinking,dietetic problem,and emotion;the second main component is family history;the third main component is dampness;the forth main component is the allergy to the food;the fifth is outside irritation.Through the corresponding investigation we found that food include hot food,beef,sheep and sea food,emotion problem include over work and stress,dampness include work and living in humid place for long time,outside stimulus meant chemical stimulus.Conclusion: The main cause of the blood heat syndrome in psoriasis are infection,drinking,dietetic problem,and emotion,family history,humidity,allergy to the food and chemical stimulus in order.

Objective To investigate scanning and reconstruction techniques of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in patients with complex congenital heart diseases (CCHD).Methods One hundred eighty-four patients suffering from CCHD underwent 16-detector MSCT scanning without ECG-gating.Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR),maximum intensity projection (MIP),curved-planar reconstruction (CPR) and volume rendering (VR) were used to reconstruct images.CT findings were compared with those of surgical operation or angiocardiography.Results A total of 616 cardiac deformities were found with MSCT and proved by angiocardiograms or surgical operation.The diagnostic accuracy of extracardiac malformation with MSCT was 100%,of atrial septal defect was 54.65%,and of ventricular septal defect was 78.62%.MSCT failed to display heart valve disease well.Conclusion MSCT can accurately detect extracardiac malformations of CCHD.

Objective To explore egg mimotope of Schistosoma japonicum that can be used in the development of diagnostic reagents for schistosomiasis.\ Methods\ By performing three rounds of biopanning in the affinity selection before picking out single clones for identification, target specific phages were effectively enriched from a random 15\|peptides phage library with an immobilized mAb 6B12 which is specific to egg antigen of S\^japonicum as a bait. By using ELISA, competitive ELISA with natural egg antigen as competitor, and Western blotting, 13 phage clones with high affinity and specificity to 6B12 were obtained and amplified from 400 single clones. \ Results \ DNA sequencing revealed that all the 13 selected single clones were identical in displaying gene sequence. Serum samples were tested by ELISA for the presence of IgG antibodies to the phages with mimic epitope, and showed that there was a significant difference between healthy volunteers and schistosomiasis patients.\ Conclusion \ It is possible that the phage display peptide antigen, egg mimotope of S.japonicum may be a replacement of natural egg antigen for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis.

Objective To dynamically investigate the effects of aluminum on the concentration of free intracellular Ca2+([Ca2+]i) and the expression of calcium channels in the hippocampus of rats. Methods Healthy 64 Wistar rats were taken as the experimental objects. And these rats were randomly divided into 16 groups according to their weights, and were instilled with AlCl3 at 0(control),37.3,74.7 and 248.7 mg/kg respectively. The experimental time exposed to AlCl3 was 45,75,120 d, among which the rats were given AlCl3 for 120 d fed normally for 30 d. The hippoeampus were segregated on day 45,75,120 and 150 d and the[Ca2+]i of hippocampus of rats were detected by fluorospectrophotometer. The expression of Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) mRNA and α1C ubunit of L-type calcium ehannels(L-Ca2+α1C) mRNA were detected by RT-PCR analysis. Results [Ca2+]i was increased by AlCl3 in a dose-and time-dependant manner(F=23.136 and 19.089, P<0.01). There was a synergistic effect between the dose and time in [Ca2+]i (F=2.270, P<0.05). In time of 120,150 days, the [Ca2+]i of rats hippocampus in 37.3[(299.3±48.7), (342.7±35.3)nmol/L], 74.7[(391.2±47.9), (408.1±42.8)nmol/L] and 248.7 mg/kg group[(397.9±55.8), (405.2±22.7)nmol/L] significantly increased compared with control group [(195.1±29.9), (209.1±30.6)nmol/L; P<0.01]. The expression of RyR2 mRNA and L-Ca2+α1C mRNA were increased by AlCl3(F=23.301 and 60.812, P<0.01). The experimental time could lower the expression of L-Ca2+ α1C mRNA (F=6.088, P<0.01), but had no influences on the expression of RyR2 mR NA (F=1.361, P>0.05). There was interaction between the dose of AlCl3 and the time in the expression of L-Ca2+α1C mRNA (F=5.876,P< 0.01). On day 75,120 and 150 of the experiment, the expression of L-Ca2+α1C mRNA in rat hippocampus of 74.7 (1.03±0.16,1.18±0.18,0.92±0.11) and 248.7 mg/kg group(1.89±0.26, 1.25±0.10, 1.07±0.14) also increased compared with control group(0.63±0.09,0.78±0.16,0.69±0.11; P<0.05 or <0.01). On day 45,75, 120 and 150 of the experiment, the expression of RyR2 mRNA in 74.7(0.49±0.06,0.51±0.07,0.57±0.11, 0.47±0.11), 248.7(0.47±0.03,0.52±0.09, 0.70±0.10, 0.78±0.09)mg/kg AlCl3 groups was highly increased compared with control group (0.24±0.07, 0.32±0.04, 0.30±0.06, 0.27±0.06; P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusion Al increases [Ca2+]i by increasing the expression of the RyR2 mRNA and L-Ca2+α1C mRNA, thus exerts an irreversible neuronal toxicity.

Objective:This study analyzes the clinicopathological characteristics, pathological diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of ovarian small cell carcinoma (SCCO). Methods:The medical records of SCCO patients in the Cancer Hospital of Peking Union Medical College between 2005 and 2012 were reviewed. Results:The mean age of patients was 43. 75 years old (ranging from 17 to 57), two cases were postmenopausal, and one case was less than 30 years old. Twenty-one patients had FIGO stageⅠ, whereas three cases had stageⅢto Ⅳ. Three cases were classified as pulmonary type. Forty-three patients received cytoreductive surgery, and one underwent fertili ty-conserving surgery. All patients were postoperatively treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, whereas three cases received Paclitaxel plus Carboplatin. No patient received adjuvant radiotherapy. One patient died nine months after the initial diagnosis, and one died 12 months after the initial diagnosis. The other two cases remain alive with no evidence of recurrence after follow up at 7 and 30 months after diagnosis. Conclusion:SCCO is a rare ovarian tumor with high malignancy potential and thus has poor prognosis. The clinical manifestations of SCCO resemble those of epithelial ovarian cancer. Immunohistochemistry can be used for differential diagnosis. The standard SCCO treatments are cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. The optimal chemotherapy regimen requires further research.
