Objective To compare the effect of freeze-thaw tumor cells and the supernatant from tumor cell culture on the activation of lymphocytes. Methods Malignant melanoma B16 cells were prepared as tumor cell vaccine and the supernatant from tumor cell culture was collected at different time point.Transwell method was used to determine the chemotaxis of lymphocyte attracted by freeze-thaw tumor cells and the supernatant from tumnor cell culture. The cytotoxic activity of lymphocyte was detected by CCK-8 method. Results Freeze-thaw tumor cells and the supernatant from more than 2 h of tumor cell culture were found to show chemotaxis of lymphocyte. The chemotaxis of tumor cell culture more than 4 h was stronger than freeze-thaw tumor cells. Each group of chemotactic lymphocytes demonstrated to have the activity of killing tumor cells. The ability of killing tumor cells induced by the tumor cell culture more than 4 h was stronger than that induced by freeze-thaw tumor cells.In a certain range,the ability of lymphocyte chemotaxis and activation were enhanced over time. Conclusion The chemotaxis and cytotoxic activation of lymphocyte induced by the supernatant from tumor cell culture for a certain time are stronger than those by freeze-thaw tumor cells. The supernatant from tumor cell culture can be used as tumor antigen to get better immune activation instead of the freeze-thaw tumor cells.

Objective To investigate the impact of previous cystectomy for ovary benign cyst on ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) cycles. Methods Totally 622 infertility patients were retrospectively investigated who underwent first IVF/ICSI-ET cycle in Reproductive Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from January 2013 to June 2014. There were 153 cases who had been removed ovarian cyst by cystectomy surgeries recruited as study group, in which 44 cases of ovarian endometriosis cyst, 35 cases of benign ovarian teratomas, 67 cases of simple ovarian cyst and 7 cases of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma. In contrast, 469 infertility patients with tubal-factor infertility or male factor were included as control group. The age-matched women in the control group had no ovarian surgery previously. The indicators of ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome were analyzed between two groups. The influence of different types of ovarian cysts on ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome in IVF/ICSI-ET cycles were also studied, ovarian endometriosis cyst was studied as Group A, and Group B consisted of benign ovarian teratomas, simple ovarian cyst and mucinous cystadenoma. Results (1) The significantly lower serum antimullerian hormone (AMH) level (median: 1.92 versus 2.90 mg/L), antral follicle count (AFC; median: 12.0 versus 13.0), retrieved oocytes (12 ± 5 versus 13 ± 6) and the number of embryo cryopreserved (median:1.0 versus 3.0) were found in study group compared with control group (all P<0.05). There was no statistical difference between two group for the following parameters, such as basal FSH level, the total dosage of gonadotropin duration and the total dosage of gonadotropin (all P>0.05). A better clinical pregnancy rate was achieved in control group (61.6%, 241/391) than that in study group (61.4%, 81/132), but no significant difference was existed (P=0.96). (2) Compared to Group B, Group A had fewer AFC, lower serum AMH level, retrieved oocytes and the number of embryo cryopreserved (11±4 versus 13±5;1.65 versus 2.15 mg/L;9±4 versus 13±5;0 versus 2.0;all P<0.01). There was a lower clinical pregnancy rate in Group A than that in Group B [50.0% (19/38) versus 66.0%(62/94)], accompanying with higher abortion rate [3/19 versus 9.7%(6/62)], but no differences were observed (all P>0.05). Conclusions Ovarian reserve declines after the cystectomy for ovarian benign cysts and the cystectomy has a negative impact on IVF/ICSI-ET cycle, resulting in a decrease of the number of retrieved oocytes and the number of embryo cryopreserved, but do not influence clinical pregnancy outcome. Ovarian reserve is impaired more seriously by cystectomy for ovarian endometriosis cyst than other ovarian benign cyst.

Objective To describe the adequate feeding of early enteral nutrition in critical patients with cancer, and explore its influencing factors. Methods A retrospective analysis study was performed and 161 patients were involved. Results Nearly 57.14%patients got adequate feeding. The independent risk factors included complications (P < 0.05,OR=2.312,OR 95%CI 1.078-4.958), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) scores (P < 0.05,OR=1.111,OR 95%CI 1.017-1.214) and hypoalbuminemia (P<0.05,OR=2.252,OR 95%CI 1.036-4.892) , and the protective factor was previous enteral nutrition experience (P<0.01,OR=0.123,OR 95%CI 0.021-0.494). Patients who got adequate feeding showed more increase in albumin levels, more decrease in APACHEⅡscores and shorter ICU stays. Conclusions Part of patients got inadequate feeding, due to comprehensive effects of many factors. And adequate feeding may be beneficial to the increase of albumin levels, also helps patients rehabilitate early and shorten the ICU stays.

Objective To confirm the clinical diagnosis of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) by molecular genetic testing in a large family. Methods PCR was performed to amplify the coding region of androgen gene, followed by direct sequencing in the patients with CAIS and relatives in this family. Results A missense mutation Arg773His was identified in the patients (homozygous) and carriers(heterozygous). Conclusions Mutation Arg773His in the AR gene leads to CAIS in this family. Molecular genetic testing of CAIS facilitates not only prenatal genetic diagnosis but also preimplantation genetic diagnosis and offers genetic counseling for future pregnancies to abandon the transmission of the mutated X chromosome to the coming generation.

Objective To determine the proper dosage of fentanyl for open heart surgery performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) without aortic cross-clamping and cardioplegia.Methods Twenty-seven ASA Ⅰ -H patients (10 male, 17 female) with fairly good cardiac function (NYHA Ⅰ - Ⅱ) scheduled for surgical repair of atrioseptal defect ( ASD) or ventricular septal defect (VSD) or mitral valve replacement (MVR) were studied. Age ranged from 18 to 44 years and body weight from 35 to 58 kg. The patients were randomly divided into three fentanyl dosage groups: group Ⅰ 10?kg ; group II 30 ?g kg-1 and group Ⅲ 50 ?g kg-1. Premedication consisted of intramuscular pethidine 1-2 mg kg-1 and scopolamine 0.05-0.06 mg kg-1 . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.2 mg kg-1 and fentanyl 5 ?g kg-1 . Tracheal intubation was facilitated with vecuronium 0.15 mg g-1 . The patients were mechanically ventilated (Vr 8-10 ml kg-1 ,F 10-12 bpm,FiO2 100% ). The rest of the total dose of fentanyl (5 ?g kg-1 in group I , 25 ?g kg-1 in group II , 45 ?g kg-1 in group III) was infused after induction of anesthesia until the initiation of CPB, supplemented with inhalation of 0.6 % isoflurane. During CPB propofol was infused at 5 mg kg-1 h-1 . after discontinuation of CPB, again 0.6% isoflurane was inhaled until the end of surgery. Vecuronium 0.05 mg kg was given every 25-30 min during operation. EGG, HR, BP, CVP, SpO2, PET CO2 and body temperature (naso-pharyngeal and rectal) were continuously monitored during operation. Arterial blood samples were obtained before anesthesia (T0), 5 min after tracheal intubation (T, ) , immediately after thoracotomy (T2) , immediately before CPB (T3), 15 min after CPB was initiated (T4) , 10 min after termination of CPB (T5) and 5 min after chest was closed (T6) for blood gas analyses and determination of blood electrolytes and acid-base balance and blood concentrations of glucose, ACTH, angiotensin Ⅱ (A- Ⅱ ) and cortisol. Time of emergence from anesthesia and extubation were recorded.Results The demographic data, including age and body weight, CPB time and duration of surgery were comparable among the three groups. There were no significant changes in SpO2 , PETCO2 , body temperature, blood gases and electrolytes during operation in the three groups. MAP decreased significantly during CPB. The blood glucose, ACTH, A- Ⅱ and cortisol concentrations increased significantly during and after CPB as compared with the preanesthetic baseline (T0 ) ( P

Objective To investigate the feasibility of discriminating different solutions and solutions with different concentrations using gemstone spectral imaging (GSI).Methods Glucose solutions (GSs)with different concentrations (5%,10%,15%,20% g/mL)and 0.9% normal saline(NS)were scanned at a CT scanner with GSI model.Spectral analysis software was used to generate spectral curves of different solutions,representing as CT values on monochromatic images(40~140keV).The same procedure was repeated 3 days later.Reliability analysis with intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC)was used to evaluate the agreement between the twice CT scans.Nonlinear regression analysis was used to generate the regression equation of spectral curves of each solution.One-way ANO-VA was performed to compare the slopes,asymptotes and intercepts of each solution.Results Reliability analysis showed excellent agreements between the twice CT scans for each solution (ICC>0.9).The regression equation was expressed as:f(keV-40)=α-(α-β)×e [-(keV-40)×ρ],where f(keV-40)represented CT values on each monochromatic images,αrepresented asymptotes,βrepre-sented intercepts,ρrepresented slopes of each solution.Statistical differences were found among the slopes of NS and those of GSs with different concentrations (P <0.05),while no statistical differences were found among the slopes of different GSs (P >0.05). The result was highly suggestive that different ingredient solutions demonstrated different shapes of spectral curves.The asymptotes and intercepts of GSs with different concentrations were statistically different (P <0.05).The heights of the spectral curves of GSs elevated with the increase of the concentration.Conclusion Spectral curve with GSI model can be used to discriminate between NS and GSs,or even GSs with different concentrations.It provided a promising potential for in vivo body fluid analyses.
