Objective To investigate the effect of transfusion of allogeneic apoptotic splenocytes on immunological tolerance to pancreatic islets transplantation in rat. Method Recipient SD rats were rendered diabetic mellitus by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The apoptosis of donor Wistar rat splenocytes was induced by X-irradiation with electron linear accelerator. Pancreatic islets were isolated by intraductal collagenase P, and were purified by Ficoll-400 discontinuous density gradient after culturing for 1-2 days from donor Wistar rat. The diabetic SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, and respectively received infusion of Hanks solution, donor normal splenocytes, donor apoptotic splenocytes, and donor necrotic splenocytes via dorsal veins of penis, and then they received pancreatic islets from the same donor rat underneath their renal subcapsular space 7 days later. Mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) was used as immunological parameter of transplantation tolerance besides the observation of blood glucose level and allograft survival time. Islet graft failure was defined as the presence of a plasma glucose concentration of at least 11.0mmol/L on 2 successive days. Results The pre-infusion of donor apoptotic splenocytes significantly prolonged the survival time of allograft as shown by the median survival time (MST) of graft of 31days, and the longest survival time of 42 day, and it apparently decreased the rejection response in recipient SD rat in one-way mixed lymphocyte culture. Conclusion Transfusion of donor apoptotic splenocytes could induce immunological tolerance of allogenic islets transplantation in rat.

Objective:To study the change of immunological response and cell proliferation in breast tissues augmented by polyacrylamide hydrogel injection(PHI).Methods:The expression of CD68,CD25 and PCNA in 20 breast tissues with indurations,12 without indurations after breast augmentation by PHI,and 10 normal breast tissues was examined by immunohistochemistry P-V6000; analysis was also done by H-E staining.Results:Hyperplasia of fibrous tissue and infiltration of inflammatory cells and macrophages were found in the breast and adjacent tissues 3-8 years after PHI.Positive cells of CD68,CD25 and PCNA hardly existed in the normal tissues,but the breast tissues around the polyacrylamide hydrogel had many positive cells of CD68 and PCNA,especially in cases with indurations;there were significant differences between the 3 groups(P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of naloxone used in the postoperation of cerebral tumor.Methods Eighty patients were randomly assigned to receive (treated group:40 patients) or not re- ceive (control group:40 patients) naloxone.Both the two groups accepted the conventional therapy.Re- sults After operation,the content of?-EP,ET decreased continuously but the one of the treated groups was more obviously than that of the control groups (P

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Chushi Huowei Decoction in treating inflammation of gastric relict of spleen-stomach damp heat type. Methods Totally 62 patients with inflammation of gastric relict were divided into treatment group and control group with random number table, 31 patients in each group. The control group was given hydrotalcite and the treatment group was treated by adding of Chushi Huowei Decoction. After eight-week treatment, the clinical efficacy, gastric mucosal lesions efficacy, and gastric mucosal pathology efficacy of the two groups were compared. Results Eight-weeks later, traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores of both groups were obviously lower than those before treatment (P<0.01). And the decrease in the treatment group was more obvious than that in the control group (P<0.01). Curative effects of gastric mucosal lesions and pathologic condition in treatment group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Neither groups had any adverse reaction. Conclusion Chushi Huowei Decoction has reliable therapeutic effect and safety in treating inflammation of gastric relict of spleen-stomach damp heat type.

Objective To study the effects of Qingjinkangkuoyin (QJKKY) on TNF-α and NE in rats with bronchiectasis.Methods Models were established by intrabronchially injecting with pseudomonas aeruginosa,and divided into 5 groups by random:the QJKKY high dose treatment group (given high dose of QJKKY into stomach),the QJKKY low dose treatment group (given low dose of QJKKY),the levofloxacin group (given levofloxacin),the model group (given normal saline),and the normal contrast group (given normal saline).After 2 weeks of treatment,the histopathology of lung tissue,the levels of TNF-α and inflammatory cells in peripheral blood and NE in rats' lung tissue were detected.Results Compared with the model group (160.425±9.9293)ng/L,QJKKY could decrease the level of TNF-α in blood significantly [high dose of QJKKY treatment group was (137.133±6.1646)ng/L,P＜0.05]; the expression of inflammatory cells in serum were decreased significantly by QJKKY [high dose of QJKKY treatment group was (1.106± 0.3580) 109/L,P＜0.05].Low dose of QJKKY treatment group was (1.086 ±0.2433) 109/L,(P＜0.05) ; the expression of NE in lung tissue were decreased remarkably by QJKKY [high dose of QJKKY treatment group(80.697 ±4.5877)ng/L,P＜0.05]; low dose of QJKKY treatment group is (80.747±3.6925)ng/L,(P＜0.05); and the histopathologic change of lung tissue in QJKKY treatment groups were ameliorated under light microscope by HE staining.Conclusion Qingjinkangkuoyin could cure bronchiectasis by decreasing the expression of TNF-αin peripheral blood and NE in rats' lung tissue.

Objective:To compare psychosocial factors and immune function between patients with breast cancer and benign tumor before operation.Methods:The patients of breast tumor(56 case)were measured by clinical psychological rating scale(EPQ、HAMD、HAMA、LES、SSRS、DSQ)before operation,and their serum levels of IgA, CD_4~+,CD_(19)~+ and the activity of NK cell were measured.The patients of breast tumor were divided into breast cancer group(36 case)and benign tumor group(22 case)bases on results of pathology.Results:In breast cancer group, there were significantly higher scores of neurotic,total and negative life events,immature defense styles,HAMA and HAMD than those in benign tumor group;while NK cell activity,levels of CD_4~+ and CD_(19)~+ and the score of mature defense,social supports,subjective supports and utility degree of supports were marked lower.There were significantly correlation between immune function(NK cell activity,content of CD_4~+,CD_(19)~+,IgA)and psychosocial factors(social support,P score of EPQ,HAMD and HAMA total score,quantity of negative life events etc). Conclusion:Cancer patients had more server psychosocial problems and lower immune function.The immune function of patient with breast cancer before operation is associated with the various psychosocial factors.

Characteristics and measurement principles of reference methods in clinical biochemistry were described.Implementation of reference systems is one of the most effective approaches to improve the accuracy and comparability of clinical laboratory test results.Reference methods are the key components of reference systems.Reference methods should have measurement uncertainties that meet the requirements of the intended use,and thus should be based on reliable measurement principles.For the well-defined biochemistry analytes,reference methods have been almost all based on instrumental analysis.Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ID/MS) is considered most reliable and has been the major analytical principle of the reference methods.ID/MS analysis is accurate but expensive.Use of other validated instrumental analyses as reference measurement principles would be justified.

ObjectiveTo study possible differences in cognitive dysfunction between left hemisphere injury(LHI) patients and right hemisphere injury(RHI) ones.MethodsCognitive function of 55 LHI patients and 43 RHI patients were examined by aphasia screening test and the Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment Battery(LOTCA).ResultsThe scores of RHI group were significant higher than that of LHI group in orientation in place,overlapping figures,spacial perception,praxis(P<0.001-0.005),but significant lower than that of LHI group in visual identification of shapes and visuomotor organization(P<0.001-0.02).The possibilities of RHI group were significant more than that of LHI group in disorientation in time,shape agnosia,disorder in figure-ground identification,unilateral neglect,disordered attention(P<0.005-0.025),but significant fewer than that of LHI group in aphasia,ideomotor apraxia(P<0.005-0.01).The possibilities were no significant differences in disorientation in place,objects agnosia,colour agnosia,spacial agnosia,motor apraxia,constructional apraxia,thinking disorder between RHI group and LHI group(P>0.05).Conclusions There is characteristic cognitive dysfunction after right or left hemisphere injury.

Objective To study the different ultrasonic features in patients of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with or without obesity based on body mass index (BMI), and to investigate whether certain hormonal factors correlate with ovarian morphology and blood flow, and to discuss the role of ultrasound combined with hormone test in the diagnosis of obese PCOS. Methods One hundred and five women with PCOS were recruited. Patients were divided into two groups according to BMI;obese PCOS group (OB-PCOS, n=32, BMI≥25 kg/m2) and non-obese PCOS (NOB-PCOS, n=73, BMI<25 kg/m2). The ultrasonic parameters of follicle number (FN), ovarian volume (Vol), resistance index (RI) of ovarian stromal blood, RI of uterine artery and serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the ratio of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone (LH/FSH), progesterone (P), estradiol (E2), free testosterone (FT), prolactin (PRL), sex hormoe binding globulin (SHBG), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), the extent of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism (HOMA-IR) were measured and compared. The correlation of the ultrasonic parameters and hormonal factors were analyzed. Results The Vol of OB-PCOS group was significantly higher than NOB-PCOS group [(12.25±4.89) ml vs (10.73±2.30) ml, t=2.20, P < 0.05]. FN and uterine artery RI of OB-PCOS group had a rising trend and RI of ovarian interstitial was on a reducing trend compared with NOB-PCOS group. But the differences were not statistically significant. The levels of FINS and HOMA-IR in OB-PCOS group [(14.82±6.45) mU/L and (3.91±3.30)] were significantly higher than those in NOB-PCOS group [(8.04±4.57) mU/L and (1.64±1.20)] (t=4.87, 3.47, respectively, both P < 0.01). And FSH in NOB-PCOS group was significantly higher than OB-PCOS group [(5.95±1.91) U/L vs (4.65±1.88) U/L, t=-2.77, P<0.01]. In POCS patients, FN was significantly associated with LH/FSH (r=0.35, P<0.01), and FT (r=0.38, P<0.01). Vol was significantly associated with LH/FSH, BMI, HOMA-IR and FPG (r=0.27, P<0.05;r=0.25, P<0.05;r=0.40, P<0.01;r=0.32, P<0.01). RI of ovarian stromal blood flow was significantly associated with SHBG (r=0.28, P<0.05). In OB-POCS group, RI of uterine artery was significantly associated with PRL (r=-0.58, P < 0.05). Vol was significantly associated with HOMA-IR (r=0.47, P < 0.05). In NOB-POCS group, FN was significantly associated with LH/FSH (r=0.33, P<0.05), and FT (r=0. 56, P<0.05). Vol was significantly associated with FT (r=0.31, P < 0.05). Conclusion There are some differences in the ultrasound and endocrine parameters between obese and non-obese PCOS patients, and some correlations exist between them.
