Background and purpose:The clinical relevance of HBV infection with respect to diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL) patients and immune patterns of T lymphocyte subsets during chemotherapy remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of T-cell mediated immunity in DLBCL patients with HBV infection, thereafter, to explore the possible cell-mediated immune mechanisms of HBsAg positive HBV infection on the survival of DLBCL. Methods:A total of 294 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients were enrolled in this cohort study. Four-color flow cytometric method was used to enumerate the absolute number of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+T lymphocytes and the CD4+/CD8+ratio in peripheral blood samples, at the onset of disease, 2-4, 4-6 and 6-12 months after the initiation of chemotherapy, individually. Results:The absolute number of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+T lymphocytes in both groups were similar at the onset of disease;the count of CD4+lymphocytes was lower in HBsAg positive group during 2 to 4 months after the initiation of chemotherapy, compared with that in the HBsAg negative group. During 4 to 12 months after chemotherapy, the CD4+/CD8+ratio in peripheral blood samples was significantly lower in HBsAg positive group. Conclusion:For newly diagnosed DLBCL patients who received chemotherapy, the dynamic nature of cell mediated immune response was characterized as a low counts of CD4+T lymphocyte during the ifrst several cycles of chemother-apy followed by a decreased circulating CD4+/CD8+ratio. Depressions of cell immunity after chemotherapy in HBsAg positive DLBCL patients were greater and prolonged.

Objective To evaluate the impact of mesoreetal margin micrometastasis on local recurrence of rectal carcinoma after total mesorectal excision, and the relation between mesorectal margin mierometastasis and local recurrence. Methods Mesorectal margin specimens from 52 cases of rectal cancer after total mesorectal excision were studied by reverse transcriptase-polymerse chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect the expression of CK20 mRNA. These patients were divided into CK20 mRNA positive and negative group and followed up for 3 years until local recurrence developed. Results In 52 patients with rectal cancer,21 cases were found to express CK20 mRNA in mesorectal margin, the expression rate of CK20 mRNA in Dukes A,B and C was 17% ,30% and 54% (P<0.05), respectively. The positive rate of well differentiated, moderately differentiated, poorly differentiated and undifferentiated carcinomas were 43%, 38% ,40% and 50% ,respectively(P>0.05 ). The incidence of local recurrence in CK20 mRNA positive and negative group was 24% and 3% , respectively. The difference was statistically significant between the two groups (P <0.05 ). Conclusion Detection of mesorectal margin CK20 mRNA as micrometastasis by RT-PCR in rectal carcinoma patients was a sensitive and effective way in predicting local recurrence. It is necessary for patients with positive mesorectal margin CK20 mRNA to undergo postoperative radiotherapy after total mesorectal excision.

AIM: To investigate the effect and the mechanism of apolipoprotein (a) [apo (a) ] on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells ( VSMCs). METHODS: All VSMCs used in experiments were serial subcultured from primary cells and were identified by immunohistochemistry staining of a - actin. Cell growth assay was observed as cell counting and MTT assay. Western blotting was also employed to detect the related mechanism. RESULTS: All cells used in experiments were confirmed as VSMCs. Although apo (a) enhanced VSMCs proliferation, this effect was attenuated by anti -integrin α_vβ_3, LM609.Use these reagents alone had no effect on VSMCs growth. The results of Western blotting demonstrated that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was activated by apo (a) and the expression of total or phosphorylated transforming growth factor β_1 (TGF -β_1) was also decreased. However, these effects described above were all blocked by LM609.CONCLUSION: Apolipoprotein (a) enhances VSMCs proliferation and this effect is mediated by integrin α_vβ_3, which activates FAK and attenuates TGF - β_1 and phospho -TGF - β_1 expression.

Objective To explore the technique and effect of selected three-field lymphadenectomy by left thoracotomy in treatment of thoracic middle or lower section esophageal squamous carcinoma. Methods From Jun. 2005 to Mar. 2009, 213 patients with thoracic middle or lower section of esophageal carcinoma received esophagectomy, bilateral mediastinal lymphadenectomy and pleural membrane resection.Group 1 -5, 7 - 12a, 16al, and 19 were performed to dissect abdominal lymph node and extended thoracic and abdominal lymphadenectomy and only lymph node extraction of mesoesophagus in neck field. Results 14197 lymphatic nodes(LN) were detected in 213 case. The average number of resected LN was 66. 65 ±24. 73. The metastatic lymph node was detected in 105 cases. The metastatic rate was 49.05% (105/213).There were 423 metastatic lymph nodes. The lymph nodes metastasis was 2. 97% (423/14197) of all dissected lymphatic nodes. No remnant carcinoma in the upper and lower cutting edge was found in pathological examination. The operation time ranged from 2. 92 ~ 4. 67 ( 3. 37 ± 0. 42) hours. Blood transfusion during perioperative period was 0 ~ 6u ( 1.08 ± 0. 93 ) u. Perioperative plasma transfusion was 0 ~ 1400( 103.77 ± 184. 89) ml. The hospital-time was 14 ~ 39 ( 17.64 ±4. 12) days. There were no anastomotic leakage and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. One case died from respiratory failure, the mortality was 0. 04% ( 1/213). Conclusion Surgical approach in the management of left thoracotomy in the sixth intercostals could extend resection of chest-field lymph node dissection, decrease neck field lymph node dissection. Abdomen-field lymph node dissection reached selected D3. The selected lymphadenectomy procedure had the advantages of small traumas and few complications.

BACKGROUND:The adhesion between muscle tendon and surrounding tissue after tendon restoration is one hot topic in clinic.
OBJECTIVE:To construct a deep flexor tendon transection model in the third toe of female Leghorn chicken and to explore the effect of peritenon transplantation on the prevention of tendon adhesions.
METHODS:After the transection models were successful y established, the third toe of left claw was taken as experimental group A. The transected tendon was sutured, the tendon anastomosis end was wrapped with the peritenon of the deep flexor tendon from the ipsilateral fourth toe (experimental group B). The third toe of right claw served as control group A, the transfected tendon was sutured and restored with the peritenon. The fourth toe of right claw was taken as control group B. Gross observation and histological observation of the tendon were performed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 28 days postoperatively, gross observation and histological observation of Leghorn chicken were performed and compared using the Kruskal-Wal isH and Nemenyi test, respectively. The results showed that, the therapeutic effect was better in experimental group A than in control group A (P<0.05), but slightly poorer compared with control group B and experimental group B (P<0.05). The postoperative effect was better in experimental group B than in control group A (P<0.05) and showed no significant difference between experimental group B and control group B (P>0.05). The flexor function was evaluated and compared with the least significant difference t-test. The results showed that the postoperative effect was better in experimental group A than in control group A (P<0.05), but slightly poorer compared with control group B and experimental group B (P<0.05). The postoperative effect was better in experimental group B than in control group A (P<0.05) and showed no significant difference compared with control group B (P>0.05). Peritenon transplantation can effectively prevent tendon adhesions and has little impact on normal tendon sliding.
