This article reviews the immunopathogenesis of cystic echinococcosis in the following seven aspects: innate immunity,establishment phase immunity,cystic phase immunity,influencing factor of CD4+ T cell polarization,cytokine function in infected host,Echinococcus granulosus infection and allergy,and immune evasion mechanism.

Objective:To investigate apoptosis of spleen cells in infected mice by immunization with recombinant BCG-Eg95 vaccine of Echinococcus granulosus(Eg) and against challenge with Eg protoscoleces.Methods:BALB/c mice were vaccinated with the vaccine subcutaneously,intranasally,orally and intramuscularly respectively.The mice were then challenged with Eg protoscolexes at 8w of vaccination and sacrificed in 18w of infection to get spleen.Spleen cells were separated to measure apoptotic rate by FACsort with BCG and PBS served as control.Results:Apoptotic rate in the immunization group was lower than that in the control.Apoptotic rates in the oral or intramuscular group were significantly lower than that in the subcutaneous or intranasal group.Conclusion:Apoptosis of spleen cells in mice may be induced by infection with hydatid cyst,but is inhibited by immunization with rBCG-Eg95 vaccine.Oral or intramuscular vaccination may be the good regimen.

Group 1:tungsten carbide burs + silicon particles ;Group 2 :ultrasonic scaling + silicon particles ;Group 3:silicon particles ,each with 20 premolars .After underwent several methods ,the surface roughness differences ,operation time were determined and ob-served with the scanning electron microscope .And the result was statistically analyzed .Results There were significant differences in the surface roughness and operation time among the three groups (P<0 .05) ,The scanning electron microscope after polishing showed that the teeth surface had different degrees of injury ,the silica particles group had less superficial scratch .Conclusion The tungsten carbide burs and ultrasonic instrument for debonding before the silica particles had less superficial scratch .

Objective To study the effect of calcium on human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). Methods Proliferation abilities of HPMCs were assessed by tetrazolium salt colorimetry assay (MTT assay) and the levels of LDH in the supernatant were detected in all groups to evaluate the damage of HPMCs. The expression of TNF-α in cytoplasm was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Calcium enhanced proliferation of HPMCs in a time-dependent manor(P＜0.01), especially calcium with 1.25 mmol/L(0.5098±0.016,0.6763±0.048) and 1.0 mmol/L(0.4853±0.016,0.6678±0.076). Calcium with different concentrations significantly increased the levels of LDH in HPMCs in a time-dependent manor, while the effect of calcium with 1.25 mmol/L was lowest(17.78±1.18,23.60±1.39,P＜0.01). Calcium with 2.0 mmol/L[(42.61±3.29)%] and 1.75 mmol/L[(33.32±1.88)%] significantly up-regulated the expression of TNF-α(P＜0.01) . Conclusions High calcium damaged HPMCs and up-regulated the expression of TNF-αby HPMCs, while physical calcium (1.25 mmol/L)can protect peritoneum and prevent peritoneal fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the reduction of hydatid cyst weight and change of splenocyte lymphokines in mice immunized with recombinant BCG-Eg95 vaccine of Echinococcus granulosus(Eg). Methods BALB/C mice were subcutaneously, intranasally, orally and intramuscularly vaccinated respectively, with BCG and PBS served as controls. The mice were challenged with Eg protoscolices 8 weeks after vaccination and sacrificed in 18 weeks after infection. The weight of hydatid cyst was measured and reduction of the weight was obtained, spleens were used to separate splenocytes which were cultured under stimulation with EgAg or ConA. The supernatant was collected to measure the level of IL-2、IFN-?、TNF- and IL-4 by ELISA. Results The hydatid cyst weight reduced by 45.77%, 18.20%, 88.05% and 92.46% respectively in the 4 immunization groups. In comparison with PBS control, the level of IL-2、IFN-?and TNF-?was (30.0?0) pg/ml, (65.0?0) pg/ml and (425.0?10.7) pg/ml respectively in the intramuscular group with a significant increase, but that of IL-4 decreased, with a value of (10.0?0) pg/ml. Conclusion The recombinant BCG-Eg95 vaccination induces Th1 response in mice against challenge infection.

Objective To dynamically observe changes of cytokines of splenocytes in mice by immunization with recombinant BCG-EmII/3 vaccine of Echinococcus multilocularis(Em).Methods BALB/C mice were intranasally vaccinated and then killed to get spleen on 0、2、4、6、8 and 10w of immunization respectively, splenocytes were isolated to culture with stimulation of EmAg or ConA,their supernatants were gathered to measure the level of IL-2,IFN-?,TNF-? and IL-4 by ELISA Kits. Results In the groups of immunization, levels of IL-2,IFN-?,TNF-? and IL-4 obviously increased on 2～6、2～6、2～10 and 8～10w respectively, reached the highest level on 4、4、8 and 10w respectively. Conclusion TH1 response was induced in mice by rBCG-EmII/3 vaccine by early immunization(2～8w).

Objective:To investigate the influence of pCD-Em10 on immune responses in mice infected with alveolar hydatid cyst of Echinococcus multilocularis(Em).Methods:BALB/c mice were intramuscularly vaccinated with pCD-Em10 and then challenged with Em protoscoleces at the 8 w after vaccination.The mice were killed in 18th week of infection to count the rate of reduced alveolar hydatid cyst weight;The spleens were gathered to separate splenocytes,and the subsets of CD4+and CD8+T cells were measured by FACsort.The splenocytes were cultured by stimulation with EmAg or ConA,their supernatants were gathered to measure level of IL-2,IFN-?,TNF-? and IL-4 by ELISA Kits.Apoptotic rate of splenocytes was measured by FACsort.BCG or PBS injection served as control.Results:In the group of PCD-Em10 immunization,the rate of reduced alveolar hydatid cyst weight was 71.17%,CD4+ subset increased obviously,and the levels of IFN-? and TNF-? increased remarkably,but that of IL-4 decreased.Apoptotic rate in the pCD-Em10 group was lower than that in the PBS control.Conclusion:pCD-Em10 may induce a protective immune response in mice infected with alveolar hydatid cyst of Echinococcus multilocularis.
