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 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.

Bacterial N-Acyl-L-homoserine lactones (AHLs)-mediated quorum sensing is involved in the regulation of diverse biological functions. As the bacterial pathogen population density increases, AHLs concentration secreted by pathogen reaches a threshold and then interacts with their intercellular receptor and triggers expression of virulence genes. It is a promising approach to biologically control bacterial disease in plants and animals by manipulating bacterial AHL-quorum sensing with AHLs-degrading enzyme and AHL analogue.

Ralstonia metallidurans CH34 was isolated from the deposit of a znic factory .The degradation of phenol by R .metallidurans CH34 was investigated. The results showed that R . metallidurans CH34 possesses high ability to degrade phenol with the biodegradation rate constant of 0.33 . The optimal pH , temperature and volume of medium for phenol degradation are pH 7.0 , 30℃ , and 20%(v/v), respectively . In addition , this strain retains its ability to degrade phenol in the presence of high concentration of heavy metal ion .The sodium citrate , sodium succinate can enhance the degradation of phenol.
