Objective: To explore the role of anti-?? T cell receptor(TCR) and anti-CD80 monoclonal antibodies(mAbs) combined with donor bone marrow cells(BMCs) infusion in the induction of murine skin allografts tolerance.Methods: On day 0,2?10~8 BMCs of BALB/c mice were injected into recipient C57BL/6 mice via the tail vein,meanwhile,an intraperitoneal injection of TCR?? mAb(500 ?g) was given.On day 2,CD80 mAb was administered intraperitoneally.Skin grafting was performed on day 6.Delayed type hypersensitivity(DTH),mixed lymphocyte reaction(MLR),IL-2 reverse assay of MLR,adoptive transfer assay and chimerism detection were performed at different time points and tolerance mechanisms were investigated.Results: The mean survival time(MST) of BALB/c skin allografts in C57BL/6 recipients that were treated by anti-TCR?? and anti-CD80 mAbs combined with donor BMCs infusion was 70 days.DTH and MLR assay indicated that the tolerant mice displayed significant hyporesponsiveness.The result of IL-2 reverse test showed that clone anergy was probably involved in the formation of tolerance in the tolerant C57BL/6 mice.In vivo and in vitro adoptive transfer assay,suppressive activity in the spleens of tolerant C57BL/6 mice was observed.Chimerism existed in both the thymus and spleen of the tolerant C57BL/6 mice.The chimerism level gradually declined with time.Conclusion: Treatment of anti-TCR?? and anti-CD80 mAbs combined with donor BMCs infusion can successfully induce a long-term tolerance in BALB/c mice to C57BL/6 skin graft.Multiple mechanisms,including clone anergy,suppressor cells and chimerism are involved in the tolerance.

Objective To study the effect of Danggui Buxue Tang (DBT) on immunological reconstitution of bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in mice. Methods BALB/c mice were irradiated by 137Cs γ once 8.5 Gy, then the mice were engrafted with bone marrow cells (107 cells/mouse) within 4 hours lethal irradiation. And the mice were fed by DBT every day for 15 days. Flow cytometry technique combined with immunological methods were performed to evaluate immunological reconstitution of BMT mice in 30 and 60 days pest-transplantation. Peripheral blood RBC and WBC were counted, and nucleated cells were assayed in recipient bone marrow. Lymphocyte numbers in thymus and periphery were counted and subpopulations of the two origins were observed respectively. Lymphocyte proliferation induced by Con A and LPS, plaque-forming cell (PFC), delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) were also examined in 30,60 days in post-transplantation respectively. Results Compared with BMT mice, BMT mice treated with a certain dose of DBT could increase the number of peripheral blood RBC and WBC in the recipients, and also could increase that of nucleated cells significantly. BMT mice treated with DBT could increase lymphocyte numbers in thymus and periphery, and improve thymocyte subpopulations, resulting in enhancement in immune function. Conclusion DBT can enhance the immunological reconstitution of BMT mice.

BACKGROUND:Stem cels are induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cels that can be used for the treatment of diabetic lower extremity vascular disease. However, it is unclear whether these endothelial-like cels can completely replace endothelial cels to improve vascular disease and what are the differences between endothelial-like cels and endothelial cels. OBJECTIVE:To explore the differences and similarities between endothelial-like cels and human umbilical vein endothelial cels in the aspects of morphology, function, and viability. METHODS:Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels and umbilical vein endothelial cels were isolated, cultured and identified using flow cytometry and immunohistochemical method. Isolated umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were induced in DMEM-LG/F12 containing 10 μg/L vascular endothelial growth factor, 10 μg/L basic
fibroblast growth factor and 2% fetal bovine serum to differentiate into endothelial-like cels folowed by immunohistochemical identification. To compare endothelial-like cels with human umbilical vein endothelial cels, cel migration detection, active substance measurement and three-dimensional angiogenesis test were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Isolated umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels strongly expressed the surface markers of mesenchymal stem cels, and human umbilical vein endothelial cels strongly expressed CD31 and VWF. After induction, the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were identified to highly express CD31 and VWF. Through cel migration, active substance and three-dimensional angiogenesis tests, endothelial-like cels were similar to endothelial cels in the function and activity, and superior to endothelial cels.

Objective To evaluate the prevention of glucocorticoid -induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head(ANFH)with Tongluo Shenggu Capsule(TSC).Methods One hundred and twenty adult SD rats were randomized into six groups:normal control group,model group,clofibratum group and three -dose TSC groups(high -,moderate -and low -dose respectively).ANFH rat models were established by injection of glucocorticoid once per week and the med-ication groups were given drugs by ga stric infusion one time a day.The rats were killed in the fourth,eighth and twelfth week respectively.Then the macrosc opic and microscopic feature of the f emoral head were observed,and ink -p erfused specimens of the femoral head were detected and analyzed by auto -photograph software of Metamoph to evaluate the pre-ventive effect of TSC.Results In TSC groups,bone trabecula grew we ll,similar to the normal group;lacu nar bone per-centage was lower than that in the mod el group;fatty degeneration in marrow cavity of the femoral head was redu ced,andthe number of subcartilaginous bloo d vessels and their diameter were increased as compared with those in the model group(P

Objective To explore the clinicopathological features and diagnosis of adenoid cystic carci noma of the breast (ACCB).Methods Clinical data of 3 cases of ACCB were collected and followed up to observe the clinical pathological features.Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the immune phenotype.Results All the 3 cases were female,aging from 55 to 72 years old (61 years old as the average).The tumors were found in subareolar region well-circumscribed.ACCB was characterized by the presence of a dual cell population of luminal and basaloid cells arranged in cribriform and tubular-trabecular patterns.On immunohistochemical staining,the myoepithelial cells expressed SMA,CK5/6,P63,CD117 and the glandular epithelium cells were mostly positive for CK18,EMA,CK7,while no expression of ER,PR,HER-2,CD10 was observed.Conclusions ACCB is a rare neoplasm with a triple-negative,basal-like phenotype,but exhibits an indolent clinical behavior.The diagnosis can be worked out by evaluation of clinical characterstics,histological and immunohistochemical features.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of adverse reactions to cosmetics in China,and to provide a basis for further supervision.Methods The diagnosis of adverse reactions to cosmetics was according to 7 national standards (GB17149.1-7-1997) including the A general rule for the diagnosis and management of skin diseases induced by cosmetics.Data regarding gender,age,occupation,educational background,disease types,cosmetic types,and so on,were collected from patients with adverse reactions to cosmetics at 13 surveillance sites in China during 2005-2014.A descriptive statistical analysis was carried out.Results During 2005-2014,a total of 13 534 cases of adverse reactions to cosmetics were reported to the monitoring system.Of these cases,95.40％ (12 912/13 534) were female,and 80.85％ were young or middle-aged (20-44 years).Finally,5 446 cases were confirmed to be adverse reactions to cosmetics,among which,94.66％ (5 155/5 466) were contact dermatitis to cosmetics,and 132 were other types that were not included in the A general rule for the diagnosis and management of skin diseases induced by cosmetics.Among these confirmed cases,14 209 cosmetic products were involved,and ordinary skin care products predominated in these products.The proportion of imported cosmetic products (48.79％,6 932/14 209) was slightly higher than that of domestic products (43.21％,6 139/14 209).The number of reported eases increased by 13.16％ per year from 2005 to 2009,but decreased by 17.96％ per year from 2010 to 2014.Conclusion Adverse reactions to cosmetics are a complicated and important public health issue,and effective measures should be taken based on their characteristics.

Rats were continuously given different doses of water extract of Polygonum multiflorum (1, 10 g x kg(-1)) for 7 days to prepare liver microsomes. Cocktail in vitro incubation approach and Real-time quantitative PCR technology were used to observe the effect of water extract of P. multiflorum on CYP450 enzymatic activities and mRNA expressions in rat liver. Compared with the blank control group, both 1, 10 g x kg(-1) water extract of P. multiflorum treated groups showed significant inhibitions in CYP2E1 enzymatic activities and mRNA expressions (enzymatic activities of CYP2E1, P < 0.01; mRNA expression of CYP2E1, P < 0.05 in 1 g x kg(-1) group, P < 0.01 in 10 g x kg(-1) group). They revealed a significant increase in the enzymatic activity of CYP3A1 (P < 0.01), but without significant change in mRNA expressions. The 10 g x kg(-1) group showed a significant inhibition in CYP1A2 enzymatic activities and mRNA expressions in rat livers (P < 0.01).

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association of surgical skills, anhepatic time and preoperative hepatic function grading with bacteria infection after the liver transplantation and identify the common bacterial flora involved for effective prevention and treatment of the posttransplant bacterial infection. METHODS;The clinical records of 31 cases of liver transplantation from August 2004 to August 2005 were reviewed and the collected data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS; Among the 31 cases, posttransplant bacterial infection occurred in 16 cases accounting for a total incidence of 51.61%, with the incidence of multi-system (or multi-organ) infection of 22.58%. The earlier cases had longer average surgery time and anhepatic period than the later cases, with also higher incidence of infection. Among the 19 patients with hepatic function class A before surgery, 7 acquired bacterial infection involving one system or organ, 2 had infections compromising multiple system or organ. In the 8 patients of hepatic function class B before surgery, 2 had single-system or -organ infection and 1 multi-system or -organ infection. Four out of the 5 patients with hepatic function class C before surgery acquired posttransplant bacterial infections, all involving multiple systems or organs. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common bacteria responsible for the infections in these cases.

CONCLUSIONImprovement of surgical skills can obviously reduce the incidence of bacterial infection after liver transplantation. No evidences suggest the correlation between the incidence of infections (including severe ones) and hepatic function class A or B before the operation, whereas patients with preoperative hepatic function class C seems to be at higher risk for infection involving multiple systems or organs. The anhepatic time does not significantly impact on the incidence or severity of the posttransplant infections, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common bacteria causing the infections.
