Type 1 diabetes mellitus ( T1DM),arising through a complex interaction of immune,genetic and environmental factors,results from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing β cells.In up to one third of patients the autoimmune attack is not limited to β cells,but expands into autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes(APS).APS are characterized by functional insufficiency of multiple endocrine organs due to an immunologically mediated destructive process.APS can commonly be divided into three types,including APS type Ⅰ,APS type Ⅱ and immune dysregulation,polyendocrinopathy,enteropathy,X-Linked syndrome (IPEX).Here,we discuss the susceptible factors,clinical manifestation,screening and treatment of APS,with the perspective of the clues they can offer to the pathogenesis and treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To explore the clinical value of transvaginal four-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (TVS 4D-HyCoSy)in evaluation of the patency of fallopian tubes. Methods Totally 53 patients underwent SonoVue TVS4D-HyCoSy to observe the tubal patency. Results Among the 106 tubes in 53 patients, TVS 4D-HyCoSy showed 47 unobstructed tubes, 23 obstructed tubes, and 36 partially passable tubes. In unobstructed cases, the fallopian tubes were smooth and regular in morphology, and contrast agents flowed into and dispersed over pelvic cavity rapidly and evenly. In the cases of partially passable tube, fallopian tubes were discontinuous and irregular in morphology, and contrast agents lfowed into and dispersed over pelvic cavity slowly and unevenly. In obstructed cases, there were no or little contrast agents into the fallopian tubes. Compared with the results of laparoscopy, the diagnostic accuracy of TVS 4D-HyCoSy was 94.4%(17/18). Conclusions TVS 4D-HyCoSy is a useful tool in demonstrating the morphological features of fallopian tube, diagnosing intrauterinc adhesion and lesion and assessing the tubal patency.

Objective To investigate the status of microchimerism in recipients and the relation between microchimerism and immunologic tolerance after vascularized allograft bone transplantation. Methods X-ray and histological examinations were performed on recipients after massive vascularized shaft of femur from female Japanese white rabbit donors was transplanted to male recipients. Microchimerism in different organs and tissues were checked postoperatively using a semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a Y-chromosome specific primer at different time. Results X-ray and histological examinations showed typical bone union in the experiment group but irregular new bone calluses surrounded the transplanted bones, with high density sequestrum in the control group.Semiquantitative PCR with a Y-chyomosome specific primer indicated that the incidence of microchimerism in organs and tissues in the experiment group was higher than that in the control group postoperatively and increased with time. Conclusions After vascularized allograft bone transplantation, organs and tissues show microchimerism that has a positive correlation with the histocompatibility of the transplanted bones.

The 1.7 kb full-length hemagglutinin (HA) gene fragment of H5N1 subtype avian influenza virus was amplified by RT-PCR and then cloned into the pFastBacHT donor plasmids. The recombinant plasmid pFastBac-H5 was identified by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing. Following the transposition pFastBac-H5 into the bacmid in DH10Bac E.coli competent cells, the colonies were identified by blue and white selection. The recombinant bacmid (rBacmid-H5) was verified by PCR analysis. Transfection of rBacmid-H5 DNA into sf9 cells using Cellfectin reagent results in the production of recombinant viral stock. Cells were harvested 72h post infection and analyzed by SDS-PAGE, Western-blot, hemagglutination and hemagglutination inhibition test;the expressed HA protein (rH5)shows hemaggluting activity and can be inhibited by H5N1 virus immunized chicken sera. On the other hand, immunization of chickens with rH5 protein results in high titers of H5N1 virus specific hemagglutation inhibition antibodies, which proved its biological activity.
