This study was performed for the output of nitrous oxide (N_2O) after N_2O cessation. The breathing bag with the volume of 3000 ml served as the simulator lung,and 5 patients, ASA grade Ⅰ,aged 18-48 years scheduled for elective surgery,acted as the clinical subiects. After the equilibration of end-expiratory N_2O concentration of 50% was developed,the N_2O administration was cut off,then was expelled with oxygen flow rate at 3L/min or 6L/min. The inspiration-expiration N_2O concentration difference of simulator or patient lung (SC_(I-E) N_2O or PC_(I-E) N_2O)was recorded with an infra-red gas analyser. The N_2O dilution induced by the anesthesia circuit volume and the functional residual capacity, was similar to that by simulator lung,so the clinical output of N_2O in one minute was calculated as followed: N_2O output=(PC_(I-E) N_2O-SC_(I-E) N_2O)?minute volume of ventilation. The results showed that in the first minute after N_2O termination,there was no N_2O output,but from the second to the tenth minute the N_2O output increased gradually and was kept at the high level,additionally,the levels of N_2O output at the oxygen flow rate of 6L/min were higher than those at 3L/min in the corresponding times, respectively. It is suggested that following the withdrawal of 1:1 N_2O-O_2 anesthesia ,the N_2O output is related to the oxygen flow rate,and there is not the occurance of diffusion hypoxia.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant form of glioma, and its treatment through traditional surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy has limited efficacy. Chimericantigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T) are recombinant receptors for antigen, which, in a single molecule, redirect and mediateantigen recognition, T-cell activation, and, in the case of second-generation chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) costimulation (CD28 or 4-BB), augment T-cell functionality and persistence. CARs are the focus of attention in emerging treatment options for GBM. This article mainly introduces the development process of CAR-T therapy and the recent success of adoptive transfer of CAR-T cells. Effective targets of the treatment of GBM with CAR-T according to this research are discussed as well. Some of the most extensively studied targets on GBM, especially interleukin-13 receptor α chain variant 2, epidermal growth factor receptor-Ⅷ(EGFRⅧ), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ErbB2), and ephrinA2 receptor (ErbA2), and the different characteristics of each kind of alloantigen-specific CAR-T cells, are the basis for CAR-T therapy and indicate their different characteristics or utilities and the prospect of further clinical research. The discovery of selective expression of interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2 in glioma cells more than 20 years ago prompted the clinical trial of CAR-T therapy in stage I GBM tumors, and the therapy was proven safe and effective. EGFRⅧ is a neoantigen presenting only in cancer cells and glioblastoma stem cells. Its presence is correlated with poor prognosis, and a phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ trial is ongoing at different institutes. ErbB2-specific CARs were also expressed in human Tcells.Adoptive transfer of EphA2 (or ErbB2)-specific T cells resulted in the regression of glioma xenografts. Thus, target-specific CAR-T immunotherapy may be a promising approach for the treatment of different target-positive GBM. Finally, we summarize the application value and challenge of CAR-T cell therapy in the treatment of GBM.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2001;5(21):156-
Objective To study immunologic mechanism of tiger's urine on patients of rheumatoid arthritis. Method We used ELISA method to detect TNF values of serum; we also used MTT colorimetric method to detect the inhibition of tiger's urine on T- cell. Result TNF values of RA patient's serums at both active stage and stationary phase before the therapy were higher than those of healthy group; TNF values of patient's serums after the therapy were lower than those before the therapy; tiger's urine had obvious inhibitive action on proliferation of peripheral blood's T- cell. Conclusion Tiger's urine could inhibit T- cell's proliferation and TNF's secretion, which may be the important mechanism of curing RA.
