1.Advances on T helper 17 cells/regulatory T cells and leukemia
International Journal of Pediatrics 2012;39(1):88-91
Thelper 17 ( Th17 ) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells are resistant to each other in their functions and differentiation pathways.Th17 cells and Treg cells play different roles in the development,treatment and prognosis of leukemia.Their functions are stronger and(or) numbers are more increasing than in the healthy controls.Th17 cells mainly function to promote inflammation and improve the body's defense capability to leukemic cells.Treg cells mainly mediate immune suppression and immune tolerance,and then inhibit the body's immune response to leukemia cells,which can results in poor treatment outcomes.Both Th17 cells and Treg cells have close relationships with the development,treatment and prognosis of leukemia.We would deal with the leukemia through the intervention of naive T cell differentiation.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(42):7481-7486
BACKGROUND:Light-cured resin is a new kind of material with beautiful color, high strength, wide range of applications, easy-to-use and inexpensive features. Patients are wil ing to accept it because of less or no grinding of the teeth.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of light-cured resin to fil the interdental space between maxil ary anterior teeth.
METHODS:A total of 32 patients aged 21-52 years were enrol ed, 107 teeth with 75 oversized maxil ary spaces, including 15 males and 17 females. One space between bilateral central incisors was found in 14 cases;three spaces between bilateral central incisors, left lateral incisor, and left canine were found in three cases;three spaces between bilateral central incisors, right lateral incisor, and right canine were found in two cases;four spaces between left central incisor, left lateral incisor, left canine, right central incisor, and right lateral incisor were found in three cases;three spaces between bilateral central incisors and lateral incisors were found in six cases;four spaces between left central incisor, left lateral incisor, right central incisor, right lateral incisor, and right canine were found in four cases. Al the oversized maxil ary spaces were fil ed with light-cured resin. Then, crown morphology, adaptation, color, degree of wear and loosening were observed during fol ow-up.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 3-year fol ow-up, 17 of 32 cases were successful in tooth repair:the crown morphology and tooth adaptation were good, and there was no prosthesis loosening or detachment and discoloration. The tooth space was repaired basical y in another nine cases:the crown morphology and tooth adaptation were not good enough, no prosthesis loosening or detachment was found, but there were some defects at the gingival margin and contact surface of teeth as wel as mild discoloration. Tooth repair failed in the other six cases with worse crown morphology and adaptation, prosthesis loosening or detachment, and severe discoloration, which need to be repaired again.

Using RT-PCR, we can detect measles virus hemagglutinin gene (H gene) of 635bp length directly from measles vaccine strain Shanghai-191, Edmonston strain, nasopharyngeal aspirates and throat swabs of the measles patients. The primers of RT-PCR based on H gene sequence of measles virus did not give the same products from rubella virus and influenza viruses (A1, A3, B). By second PCR amplification, the minimum quantity of measles virus required to give a positive signal was<0.01TCID50. Since the IgM antibody positive rate in early stage of measles patients is always low, the specificity and sensitivity of RT-PCR method may help diagnosing measles cases.
