Objective To expand the NKT cells in vitro and to determine the cytokine releasing of NKT cells during proliferation.Methods Several kind of methods were established to expand TCRV ?24 +/TCRV ?11 + NKT cells from PBMC or purified T lymphocyte.The levels of IL 4,IFN ?and TNF ? of NKT cells were determined by flow cytometry.Results After 19 days' expansion,the largest number of NKT cells increased (23.0?16.7)?10 3 times and the largest ratio of NKT cells to total T lymphocyte was (25.5?7.2)%.The ratio of TCRV ?11 + NKT cells that secreted IL 4,IFN ?and TNF ? was higher than the TCRV?11 T lymphocytes.Conclusion TCRV ?24 +/TCRV ?11 + NKT cells can be expanded in vitro with ? Galcer presented by CD 1d molecule.The NKT cells can also be expanded from PBMC because the monocyte lineage cells within PBMC can express CD 1d molecule and present specific glycolipids like ? Galcer to them.

BACKGROUND:Many internal fixations,such as dynamic hip screw,Gamma screw,proximal femoral nail,angle steel plate,as well as locking proximac femoral plate,are utilized in treating intertrochanteric fractures,especially the dynamic hip screw However,the failure rate is gradually increased.OBJECTIVE:To explore the application and clinical efficacy of total hip replacement for the treatment of elderly intertrochanteric fracture fixation after failure of dynamic hip screw.METHODS:A total of four cases with intertrochanteric fractures were treated by total hip replacement after failure of dynamic hip screw fixation was selected.According to Evans typing,one case were type Ⅱ,two cases were type Ⅲ A,and one case was typeⅢB.Internal fixation displacement could be found at half to 1 year after dynamic hip screw fixation.Because of bone disunion,coxa adducta and pain,the patients could not walk.Sequentially,total hip replacement was performed with 45°abduct angle and10°-15°anteversion angle The clinical efficacy was evaluated by Harris scoring criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All the cases were operated smoothly,with 1.5-2 hour operation duration and 400-600 mL blood loss.No case appeared allergic response to bone cement.By 3-12 months follow-up,4 successful operative cases do not appear prosthesis loosening,subsidence and are satisfied with well hip function.The average Harris score were 81 points.The results revealed that application of total hip replacement after the failure of DHS in elderly intertrochanteric fracture fixation,which shortened the time patients stay in bed to reduce complications and improved the hip joint function.

In order to summarize and perfect the basic skill practicing method in acupuncture teaching and form a characteristic teaching, the research on skill training and technique improving of acupuncture and tuina major was carried out. The undergraduate students in acupuncture and tuina major from College of Acupuncture-Moxibustion and Tuina were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. Students from both groups received the basic courses of acupuncture-moxibustion and tuina as requested in the syllabus and the special teaching was added to the experimental group, namely "three practice" (strength practice, coordination practice, targeted practice of acupuncture basic skills) and "three enlightenment" (technique enlightenment, mind and qi enlightenment, efficacy enlightenment). During and after the courses, the teaching effectiveness was evaluated on the basis of needling manipulation. The peacetime score in the experimental group was superior to that in the control group (38.03 +/- 1.14 vs 33.25 +/- 1.31, P < 0.05), the total score in the experimental group was superior to that in the control group (84.03 +/- 6.30 vs 78.05 +/- 6.55, P < 0.05). The special teaching method of "three practice" and "three enlightenment" can improve the effect of skill training teaching method. It highlights the unique feature of central plains by integrating the essence of Shaolin internal qigong and Chen-style Taiji, it can also provide new ideas for the practical teaching of TCM professional courses and the construction of characteristic professionals.

Objective To construct targeted ultrasound contrast agent carried goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (UCA-IgG) and evaluate the effectiveness of its targeted adhesion using parallel plate flow chamber. Methods The ultrasound contrast agent targeted to mouse IgG was designed by conjugating monoclonal antibodies against mouse lgG to the lipid monolayer shell of the agent using biotin-streptavidin. The binding of IgG antibodies to the ultrasound contrast agent were identified by fluorescence in vitro. The attachment and detachment of UCA-IgG to mouse IgG immobilized on a culture dish were assessed in a parallel-plate flow chamber. While the plate lacked mouse IgG,or blocked with large number of goat anti-mouse IgG were served as two control groups. Results UCA-IgG issued a bright green fluorescence, while the contral lipid ultrasound contrast agent didn't show fluorescence. The number of UCA-IgG bound to mouse IgG of experimental group was greater than two control groups,increased with increasing coverslips surface antibody concentrations (P<0. 05),and there was significant positive correlation between the number of UCA-IgG bound to mouse IgG and time of combination (P<0.05). The adhesion rate of experimental group increased with shear stress before 0. 5×10-5 N/cm2 (P<0.05) and then decreased (P<0. 05). There was limited adherence of control groups to the UCA-IgG. The stess of half-maximal detachment was increased with increasing coverslips surface antibody concentrations (P<0.05). Conclusions UCA-IgG could adhere to mouse IgG in the physical conditions. It may provide strong supports for studying other targeted ultrasound contrast agent preliminary and fatherly in vitro.

Objective To study the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)features in acute cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI)and evaluate its clinical value.Methods Eight patients with acute CSCI (within 72 hours after onset)were performed conventional MRI and fast DTI scans (112 seconds)and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT)at 3.0T Siemens Trio Tim system.Meanwhile,the fractional anisotropy (FA) values and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)values were calculated separately in the site of lesions,the upper and lower sections to the lesions.Then the data were analyzed by paired-samples t test analysis with SPSS 13.0 software.Results Cervical spinal cord injury occurred likely in the sites of C5-C6 (account for 4/8)and C4-C5 (account for 3/8).All MRI and DTI images were satisfied for clinical diagnosis.The FA value and ADC value of injury lesions were markedly lower than that of the normal cord.Accordingly,the injury lesions on FA map and ADC map presented low signals.There were no significant differences of FA values and ADC values between the upper and lower sections to the lesions.DTT could help in displaying the disruption of spinal fiber tract in lancination case and distortion fibers in closed cervical spinal cord injury.Conclusion Fast DTI sequence at 3.0 Tesla may obtain the qualified spinal cord images.By calculation of FA values and ADC values in CSCI patients,DTI may play an important role in detecting the changes of anisotropy and water diffusion caused by myelin sheath injury and cytotoxic edema and vasogenic edema respectively.
