Objective: To explore antitumor responses induced by recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing a p53 antigenic peptide (rVV p53 M) and enhanced effect of recombinant vaccinia viruses expressing costimulatory molecule B7 (rVV B7). Methods: A 135 Cys to Tyr point mutation p53 transduced P815 mastocytoma (P815 mp53) was used as an experimental tumor and the p53 protein as the model of tumor associated antigen. rVV p53 M and rVV B7 were used as vaccine to test their induction of CTL and antitumor immunity. Results: Immunization of BABL/c mice with rVV p53 M could elicit specific CTLs, which could specifically lyse P815 mp53 cells. Immunization of mice with rVV p53 M could survive a part of mice challenged with 1?10 6 P815 mp53. Treatment with rVV p53 M could significantly prolong the survival of tumor bearing mice. Admixture at 1∶1 ratio of rVV p53 M and rVV B7 could enhance antitumor responses induced by rVV p53 M. Conclusion: Immunization with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing antigenic peptide is a useful alternative to peptide based vaccine. Costimulatory molecule B7 can enhance antigenic peptide to induce antitumor responses.

Objective To investigate the inflammation levels of 2-diabetes patients before and after 3 months of improving glycemic control.Methods A longitudinal study was performed in a subgroup of 48 subjects with T2D and poor glycemic control.Forty-four healthy individuals were taken as control group.The serum concentration of C-reactionprotein (CRP),interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-6 (IL-8),transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (MCP1) in all participants were measured simultaneously by multiplexed Luminex assay.Results The serum levels of CRP,MCP-1 of 2-diabetes patients were 3.96 (3.45,5.58) mg/L and (195.0± 129.8) ng/L,significant higher than those in control group (2.25 (1.24,3.22) mg/L,(148.5±85.7) ng/L),and the differences were significant(t=-2.580,P=0.010;t=-2.118,P =0.047).No significant difference was found in the serum levels of IL-6,IL-8,TGF-β lbetween the two groups (P＞0.05).TGF-β1 level in patients with good glycemic control decreased to 26.85 (23.17-31.12) ng/l,significant lower than that before glycemic control (43.5(26.5-62.25) g/L;Z=-2.191,P=0.028),and there were no significant differences among the other 4 kinds of inflammatory factors before and after blood glucose control(CRP:Z =-0.937P =0.372;IL-6:Z =-0.875,P =0.396;IL-8:Z =-1.215,P =0.286;MCP-1:t =-1.846,P=0.065).Conclusion Low grade systemic inflammation status in T2D patients.Improvement of glycemic control reduces TGF-β1 levels and plays a key role in delaying the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To investigate the correlation between neonatal infectious disease and brain injury.MethodsClinical data of 1266 newborns with infectious diseases were collected from Peking University First Hospital from November 2005 to August 2010.The occurrence of brain injury was summarized.Related factors of brain injury caused by infection and the risk factors for severe brain injury were analyzed by Logistic regression model. Results Among the newborns with neonatal infectious diseases, the incidence of brain injury was 8.6％(108/1266), including 101 (8.0％)mild cases and seven (0.6％) severe cases. The incidence of brain injury for the newborns with severe infectious diseases was higher than those with mild infectious diseases [38.7％(29/75) vs 6.7％(79/1191),x2=92.787,P=0.000].The incidence of brain injury for the newborns withobviousinflammatoryreactionwassignificantlyhigherthanthosewithout [(13.0％(26/200) vs 7.5％ (77/1025),x2=6.544,P=0.011].Severe infection was independent risk factor for severe brain injury by Logistic regression model analysis (OR =15.750,95％ CI:1.756-141.281,P=0.014).ConclusionsIniectious diseases could cause injury on central nervous system,especially when there are severe infections or inflammatory reactions. The severer the infection,the severer the brain injury,especially when complicated by some factors such as asphyxia and hypoglycemia.

Objective To explore the relationship between lecithin cholesterol acy ltransferase (LCAT) gene 608C/T and 511C/T polymorphisms and stroke in Chinese Han population in Hunan province. Methods One hundred fifty patients with cerebral infarction, 150patients with cerebral hemorrhage, and 122 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were selected.LCAT gene 608C/T and 511C/T polymorphisms were detected by using polyrnerase chain reaction, single strand conformation polymorphism, and restriction fragment length polymorphisms. Results The CT genotype frequency (14. 0% ) and T allele frequency (7. 0% )of the LCAT gene 608C/T in the cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P ＜0. 05), while there were no significant differences in the CT genotype frequency (7. 3% ) and T allele frequency (3.7%) between the cerebral hemorrhage group and the control group (P ＞ 0. 05). The CT genotype frequency (10. 0% ) and T allele frequency (5. 0% ) of the LCAT gene 511C/T in the cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P ＜0. 01), while there were no significant differences in the CT genotype frequency (3.3%) and T allele frequency (1.7%) between the cerebral hemorrhage group and the control group (P ＞0. 05). Conclusions The 608C/T and 511C/T polymorphisms may be associated with the occurrence of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction in Chinese Han population in Hunan province. They may be the predisposing factors for atherosclerotic cerebral infarction in this population; however, they are not associated with cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of pingyangmycin (PYM) injection on infantile hemangioma located in the parotid gland region. Methods Twelve patients were treated by intralesional injection of PYM. When necessary, the injections were repeated at an interval of one week, but not more than 3-4 sessions within a therapeutic period. Normally, the secondary therapeutic period was performed 1 month later. The general and local adverse responses were recorded and the clinical outcomes were assessed with a follow-up of 1 to 3 years. Results Complete clinical resolutions were achieved in 10 patients. 2 patients received one injection, 3 patients received 2 injections, 3 patients received 3 injections, and 2 patients received 4 injections. The remaining 2 patients with partial resolution received 6 and 7 injections respectively. No clinical recurrence was observed during the follow-up of 1 to 3 years. No ulcerations or postoperative sears in injection regions were presented. The function of facial nerve was remained normality in all patients. The systematic side effects included transient pyrexia and poor appetite appeared in partial patients. No allergy cases were found. Conclusion Treatment of infantile hemangioma located in parotid gland region with PYM injection reveals a high rate of complete clinical resolution, with fair cosmetic results and short treatment time, and it does not damage the facial nerve or form local scar.The treatment time of PYM injection seems to be positively related to size of the lesions.
