Objective:As a promising strategy,tumor vaccine is at the forefront of novel approaches to tumor treatment.Since tumor antigens derived from self proteins are often less immunogenic alone,they must be administered with a potent immunostimulatory adjuvant to induce robust T-cell response.IFA was widely used and considered to be one of the most effective adjuvant available for con-sistently producing high titer antibodies to diverse antigens.However,IFA-containing tumor vaccines do not produce positive results.The reasons are unclear.Methods:BALB/c mice were s.c.injected with one single dose of IFA.At indicated days, spleen cells were collected and detected for CD11b+cells.MTT method was used to analyze the effect of CD11b+cells on T cell proliferation.ELISA method was used to determine the influence of CD11b+cell on IFN-γ-secreting ability of T cells.Results:In the spleen of mice treated with IFA,the proportion of CD11b+cell was augmented.IFA-induced CD11b+cells inhibit the proliferation and tumor antigen-induced IFN-γ-secreting ability of T cells.Conclusion:This finding may help to understand the low therapeutic efficacy of cancer vaccines recently observed in some clinical trials using Freund′s adjuvant and underscores the necessity of adjuvant selection for active immuno-therapy.

Objective The clinical value of ifrst-trimester standard ultrasound views in screening for fetal structural abnormalities. Methods From September 2008 to March 2011, transabdominal sonographic screening by standard ultrasound views was performed in 3 134 viable singleton pregnancies during the ifrst trimester at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. Used the following views:(1) Fetal proifle;(2) Neck sagittal;(3) Skull and brain;(4) Thorax;(5) Abdomen;(6) Bladder;(7) Upper limbs, and (8) Lower limbs. The women underwent 20-to 24-week and 28-to 32-week ultrasound examination if the anatomical survey was normal during the ifrst trimester. Follow-up was obtained by reviewing of the birth records from hospital charts. Results Sixteen prenatal abnormalities were detected at 11-to 13-week scan (including one case of encephalocele and meningoceles, one case of endothelial cushion defect and single umbilical artery, one case of ectopia cordis, gastroschisis, and spinal abnormalities, two cases of exencephaly, one case of anencephaly, one case of gastroschisis and lower limb malformation, two cases of omphalocele, one case of encephalocele, ectopia cordis, and gastroschisis, one case of single ventricle, one case of endothelial cushion defect, four cases of hyhrop). All of the 13 women decided on termination of pregnancy. Three suspected structural abnormalities (hydrops) detected at the ifrst-trimester scan were found as normal after birth. Seven cases were diagnosed at 20-to 24-week scan (including one case of dextrocardiac and double outlet right ventricle;two cases of endothelial cushion defects;one case of trisomy 21 with VSD;one case of omphalocele, one case of short ulna and radial with wrist distortion, and one case of club foot). One case of diaphragmatic hernia was detected at 32-week scan. Two cases (one case of cardiac defects and one case of ear deformity) were identified after birth. Of all the 3 134 fetuses, follow-up was obtained in 2 822 cases, 312 cases were excluded from the analysis because the outcome of their pregnancy could not be traced. Twenty-three fetuses with at least one major structural defect detected by prenatal ultrasonography were confirmed by follow-up. The sensitivity of the standard first-trimester ultrasound views was 56.5%(13/23), speciifcity was 99.9%(2 796/2 799), CR was 99.6%(2 812/2 822), and the false negative rate was 43.5%(10/23). Conclusions The standard views of the ifrst trimester are feasible and effective in screening the major fetal abnormalities including exencephaly, anencephaly, gastroschisis, omphalocele, ectopia cordis and single ventricle. However, ultrasound screening in early pregnancy still has some limitations, continuous scanning in different stages of pregnancy is necessary.
