0.05). Conclusions The presentation of activated NK and T cells are both involved in the mechanism of immune tolerance of pregnancy, and the immunity of NK and T cells in basal decidua is independent of the systematic immunity in peripheral blood.

Objective:Mesenchymal stem cells( MSCs) have self-renewal capacity and potential to differentiate into the cells.It was reported that the expression of miR-30a changed in some immune diseases.But it remains unclear the effect of miR-30a on the im-munoregulatory functions of MSCs.Here we studied the impact of miR-30a on the phenotype,cell viability,apoptosis,cell cycle and im-munoregulatory functions of MSCs.Methods: The mixed enzyme methods were used for the isolation of human umbilical cord MSCs.Flow cytometry(FCM)was used to investigate the effect of overexpressed miR-30a on the phenotype of MSCs.CCK-8 was used to examine the cell viability of miR-30a-overexpressed MSCs.Annexin V/PI was used for the detection of apoptosis of MSCs.Q-PCR and Western blot were used to investigate the effect of miR-30a on the expression of Cyclin E2( CCNE2).CCNE2 was one putative target of miR-30a predicted by Targetscan database.The effects of miR-30a-overexpressed MSCs on the maturation of dendritic cells(DCs)were determined.Results:Overexpression of miR-30a blocked the cell cycle of MSCs in the G0/G1 phase by inhibiting the expression of CCNE2,but did not affect the phenotype, cell viability and apoptosis of MSCs.When co-cultured with DCs, although MSCs down-regulated the expression of CD40 and CD86 on DCs,overexpression of miR-30a more significantly enhanced the suppressive impact of MSCs on the maturation of DCs.Conclusion: miR-30a affects the cell cycle of MSCs and enhances its immunosuppressive effect on DCs.

It is the intent of this study to estimate the progression or regression of edema at the bedside continuously. Based on the theoretic model, the Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (AGA) has been applied in the calculation of conductivity reconstruction. Dynamic crossover and mutation operators which are based on Haiming Distance are brought forward in this paper to maintain generation's diversity. Then, both AGA and Standard GA (SGA) have been applied in the conductivity reconstruction of edema in human brain. It is shown that AGA not only has attained a higher degree of efficiency but also has enhanced the capability to converge to the best answer.

It is the intent of this paper to locate the activation point in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) efficiently. The schemes of coil array in torus shape is presented to get the electromagnetic field distribution with ideal focusing capability. Then an improved adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) is applied to the optimization of both value and phase of the current infused in each coil. Based on the calculated results of the optimized current configurations, ideal focusing capability is drawn as contour lines and 3-D mesh charts of magnitude of both magnetic and electric field within the calculation area. It is shown that the coil array has good capability to establish focused shape of electromagnetic distribution. In addition, it is also demonstrated that the coil array has the capability to focus on two or more targets simultaneously.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells transplantation(UC-MSCT)for patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Twelve patients with refractory SLE were enrolled in this study.UC-MSCs(≥106/kg cell number)were infused intravenously for each patient. The clinical manifestations and laboratory parameters were compared before and after MSCT. Results The twelve patients were followed up for one to twenty-six months after MSCT.The systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index(SLEDAI)score decreased from 18±4 to 10±4 one month after MSCT(n=12,P<0.01)and then decreased to 7±4 at three month follow-up.Nine patients showed improvement of 24 h proteinuria[(2103±749)mg vs(3359±1248)mg,P<0.01]one month after MSCT.Further improvement of 24 h proteinuria was observed in eight patients[(1427±616)mg vs(3342±1333)mg,P<0.01]at three months post MSCT.Serum creatinine of five patients decreased significantly and ten patients showed an increase of serum albumin. Serum complement C3 increased in three patients and four patients showed obvious amelioration of hematological abnormalities. There was no transplantation related complications for all the patients. Conclusion UC-MSCT is effective and safe for refractory SLE,but further observation is required to evaluate its long term efficacy.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer, most NSCLC patients are at advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. For patients without sensitive driven-oncogene mutations, chemotherapy is still the main treatment at present, the overall prognosis is poor. Improving outcomes and obtaining long-term survival are the most urgent needs of patients with advanced NSCLC. In recent years, immunotherapy has developed rapidly. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), especially targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), have made a breakthrough in the treatment of NSCLC, beneficial to patients' survival and changed the treatment pattern for NSCLC. It shows more and more important role in the treatment of NSCLC. Led by NSCLC expert committee of Chinese society of clinical oncology (CSCO), relevant experts in this field were organized. On the basis of referring to domestic and foreign literature, systematically evaluating the results of Chinese and foreign clinical trials, and combining the experiences of the experts, the experts group reached an agreement to develop this consensus. It will guide domestic counterparts for better application of ICIs to treat NSCLC.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer. The systemic antitumor therapy of advanced NSCLC has undergone renovations of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which results in greatly improved survival for patients with advanced NSCLC. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), especially targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), has changed the treatment paradigm of NSCLC. ICIs have become the standard treatment for advanced NSCLC without epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutation or anaplastic lymphomakinase(ALK) translocation in the first- or second-line setting, and for locally advanced NSCLC following concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. ICIs are also promising in adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy. More and more ICIs have been approved domestically for the treatment of NSCLC. Led by the NSCLC expert committee of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO), this consensus was developed and updated based on thoroughly reviewing domestic and foreign literatures, clinical trial data, systematic reviews, experts' discussion and the consensus(2019 version). This consensus will aid domestic clinicians in the treatment of NSCLC with ICIs.
