Objective To investigate the effect of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in bullous pempbigoid (BP) blister fluid on the secretion of chemokines by human keratinocytes. Methods IgG was obtained from the blister fluid of patients with bullous pemphigoid and sera of normal human controls, then purified by sequential precipitation with caprylic acid and ammonium sulfate. The immunological activity of blister fluid was tested before and after the purification by BP180 ELISA kit. Keratinocytes were isolated from the foreskin tissue of yong adults, and subjected to primary culture. After 3 passages, the primary keratinocytes were harvested and subcultured in the presence of purified IgG of 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 g/L, respectively, for 24 hours, or IgG of 4 g/L for 3, 6, 12, 24 hours, respectively, followed by the detection of levels of eotaxin, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 and interleukin (IL)-8 in the supemate of keratinocytes by ELISA. Results The valence of IgG remained unchanged after the purification with caprylic acid and ammonium sulfate. Compared with IgG from the sera of normal controls, that from bullous pemphigoid blister fluid sig- nificantly enhanced the secretion of IL-8 by keratinocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner (both P < 0.01 ). Neither eotaxin nor MCP-1 was detected in the supemate of control IgG-treated, BP IgG-treated or untreated keratinocytes. Condusions The IgG in BP blister fluid has been proved to stimulate the secretion of IL-8 by cultured human keratinocytes, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of BP.

Objective To study the corelation of mucosal involvement and corticosteroid dosage in the control of bullous pemphigoid(BP). Methods One hundred and three in-patients with bullous pemphigoid hospitalized during 1988 - 2002 were retrospectively analyzed for their mean corticosteroid dosage for controlling the disease and the duration for complete relieving the skin lesions, as well as the duration to start corticosteroid tapering. All the patients were divided into two groups: group A (37 cases) with mucosal involvement and group B (66 cases) without mucosal involvement. Results The mean corticosteroid dosage used to control the disease in group A was much higher than that in group B (t = 3.488, P 0.05). Conclusion Patients with mucosal involvement require a higher dosage of corticosteroids to control the disease.

The contents of cholesterol in a number of vegetable oils were determined by saponification-gas chromatography ( FID) . There was quite a large possibility that cholesterol peak was seriously interfered by saponification-gas chromatography ( FID) , so it was difficult to set a cholesterol content value to differentiate vegetable oil from waste oil. Solid phase extraction ( SPE) sample pretreatment was chosen and the process conditions were optimized. The optimal conditions were as follows:0. 25 g of oil samples, 20 mL of 0. 6%ethyl ether-hexane ( V/V) as eluent ( get rid of fatty acid glycerides) and 20 mL of 15% ethyl ether-hexane ( V/V) as eluent ( obtain cholesterol) . An obvious cholesterol-content-difference between vegetable oils and waste oils was found by SPE-GC. The detected cholesterol contents in 84 vegetable oil samples were all less than 50 μg/g and the contents of 11 waste oil samples among the 13 waste oils were greater than 50 μg/g. Therefore, cholesterol content in vegetable oil of more than 50 μg/g could be determined as suspected waste oil, not vice versa by SPE-GC. The correlation coefficient R2 was 0. 9999 in 0-760 mg/L concentration range, and the detection limit was 6. 0 μg/g. Relative standard deviations at two concentration levels of 17. 7 and 695 mg/L were 1. 6% and 1. 5% respectively. The recovery was 103%.

Three cases of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH)with central diabetes insipidus as the first manifestation were reported, with the summary of their clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, imaging examinations, pathological results, diagnosis process, and treatment response. All three patients presented with central diabetes insipidus in the early stage. The pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)showed thickened pituitary stalks, and all lost the normal high signal of the posterior pituitary. Two patients showed isolated hypothalamic-pituitary lesions, while one case showed pituitary and thyroid systems involvement. Pathological findings showed typical Langerhans cells, immunohistochemistry showed positive for S-100, CD1a, Langerin. The clinical manifestations of LCH manifested distinct heterogeneity, which is easy to be misdiagnosed and left out. The diagnosis should be confirmed by pathological examination. The biopsy of isolated hypothalamic-pituitary lesions is difficult. It is recommended to actively screen other organs to increase the probability of biopsy. LCH-induced neurohypophysis requires life-long hormone replacement therapy.

Objective To study the change of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3high regulatory T cells (Treg cells) and the molecules associated with Treg cells in different immune status in infant with sepsis, and to further clarity the pathogenesis of disturbed immune function in infant with sepsis. Method Totally 36 sepsis infants admitted in In-tensive Care Unit of Shenzhen Children' s Hospital from May 2007 to November 2007 and 16 age-matched healthy infants were collected for prospective study, after excluding autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency, inherited metabolic disorders, tumor, and drug-treatment that could affect immune function during lately 6 months. The study was approved by Ethics Committee of Shenzhen Children's Hospital. The 36 infants with sepsis were divided into two groups according to expression levels of HLA-DR in CD14-positive cells: DR-H group was defined as patients with HLA-DR > 30%, while DR-L group was defined as patients with HLA-DR < 30%. Expression levels of HLA-DR in CD14-positive cells and the proportion of Treg cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Real-time PCR were used to evaluate the mRNA levels of Foxp3, CTLA-4,GITR, and IL-10 in CD4-posidve ceils. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way Anova. There was statistical difference with P < 0.05. Results The proportion of Treg cells in DR-L group was found to be significantly higher than that in healthy control or DR-H group (P <0.05).Compared with healthy control group or DR-H group, transcriptional levels of Foxp3, CTLA-4 and IL-10were significantly increased in DR-L group (P <0.05). The levels of GITR mRNA in DR-L group were detected to be higher than those in DR-H group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Aberrant increased proportion of Treg cells may be associated with suppressed immune status in infant with sepsis.
