Objective To explore the role of hMSH2, a novel endogenous tumor-associated pro-tein ligand recognized by Vγ9δ2 T cells, in innate anti-cervix cancer immunity .Methods hMSH2 that ex-pressed on the surface of cervical cancer cell line HeLa cells was blocked by specific antibody .Then the differences in their effects on Vγ9δ2 T cells before and after antibody blockage were evaluated by cytotoxicity of Vγ9δ2 T cells and cytokines secretion .The serum levels of hMSH2 in patients with cervical cancer were detected by ELISA .Distribution of hMSH2 in cervical cancer tissues was analyzed by TMA immunohisto-chemistry .Results Decreased cytotoxicity and IFN-γsecretion were observed in Vγ9δ2 T cells against He-La cells blocked with specific anti-hMSH2 antibody .Serum concentration of hMSH 2 in patients with cervical cancer was slightly higher than that of healthy control .Altered distribution pattern of hMSH 2 was observed in cervical cancer tissues .Conclusion hMSH2 is involved in Vγ9δ2 T cells-mediated innate anti-cervical cancer immunity by enhancing their cytotoxicity and IFN-γsecretion.

Objective To analyze the dialysis adequacy of the maintenance hemodialysis patients under different dialyzate flow.Methods Forty-eight patients under maintenance hemodialysis were divided into four groups according to dialyzate flow:500 ml/min group,600 ml/min group,700 ml/min group and 800 ml/min group,with 12 patients in each group.Each group was treated 6 weeks.The albumin (Alb),hemoglobin(Hb),hematocrit(Hct),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),serum creatinine(SCr) and parathyroid hormone(iPTH) levels before and after treatment were examined,Kt/V and urea reduction ratio(URR) were calculated separately.Results There was no significant difference in Kt/V between 500 ml/min group and 600 ml/min group.Kt/V was no increased when the dialyzate flow rate increased from 500 ml/min to 600 ml/min,that was to say they could not improve the dialysis adequacy.There was statistically significant difference in Kt/V among 500 ml/min group,600 ml/min group,700 ml/min group and 800 ml/min group,and 800 ml/min group on the dialysis adequacy was better.Different dialyzate flow on the impact of the dialysis adequacy was compared in self-control method.Kt/V increased along with the increase of dialyzate flow,and the dialysis adequacy and dialyzate flow showed positive correlation.Conclusion The high dialyzate flow of dialysis treatment can improve Kt/V and has significant effect in enhancing the dialysis adequacy.

Objective To investigate the expression and relationship of TIP30(HIV-1 Tat interactive protein 2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and MVD (detected by CD34) in the angiogenesis of human brain astrocytomas. Methods Expression of TIP30, VEGF and CD34 in 19 cases of normal brain tissue and 71 cases of astrocytoma were immunohistochemically examined with Elivision plus two-step method. Results The positive expression of TIP30 could be seen in cytoplasm of neuroglial cells and neurons of 19 normal brain tissues. The positive expression rate of TIP30 in 71 cases of astrocytoma was 33.80 % (24/ 71). The positive expression rate of TIP30 in astrocytoma of different grades was 52 % for grade Ⅱ, 34.78 % for grade Ⅲ and 13.04 % for grade Ⅳ. The positive expression rate of TIP30 in high grade (Ⅲ+Ⅳ) of astrocytoma was found significantly lower than that in low grade(Ⅱ) (χ2=5.71, P <0.05); The expression of VEGF and MVD detected by CD34 in astrocytomas were higher than that in normal brain tissue and increased as the tumor grade increased; In astrocytoma, the negtive correlation was found between the expression of TIP30 and VEGF (r=-0.428, P<0.05); no correlation was found between TIP30 and MVD(r=-0.065, P 0.05); the positive correlation was found between VEGF and MVD(r=0.684, P<0.01). Conclusion The positive expression rate of TIP30 in normal brain tissue is significantly higher than that in astrocytoma. The positive expression rate of TIP30 significantly decreases as the pathological grade of the astrocytoma increases; The expression of TIP30 and VEGF is negatively correlated in astrocytoma.

Objective To explore the mechanism of immunomodulatory activity of triptolide on healthy volunteers peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)-derived plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Methods Healthy volunteers-derived pDCs were sorted by flow cytometry, then incubated with triptolide (0, 5, 10, 30 μg/L). After 24 hours, we detected the concentration of IFN-α, IL-6, TNF-α using ELISA. After 5 days, the cultrural cells were collected and analyzed by flow cytometry, light microscope and electron microscope scanning. Results Triptolide-treated pDCs secreted lower level of IFN-α,IL-6 ,TNF-α, triptolide could inhibit pDCs differentiation to DCs which displayed more immature morphology and immunophenotypes than untreated-pDCs. Conclusion Triptolide could decrease the immune function of pDCs, inhibit differentiation and maturation of pDCs.
