Allograft rejection after xero organ transplantation rejection, especially acute rejection is still the major reason of failure and death. Active T cell play key roles in allograft rejection. It has been showed that the expressions of costimulatory molecules are associated with xero organ transplantation rejection. The pathways of CD28/CTLA-4 and CD40/CD40L are important costimulatory pathways that cause T cell activation.The article emphasizes on the role of CD28/CTLA-4-B7 pathway in allograft rejection.

Objective To probe the feasibility, indications and efficacy of damage control orthopedics (DCO) in treating severe multiple injuries combined with fractures. Methods A retrospective analysis was done on the clinical data of 31 patients with severe multiple injuries combined with fractures treated by DCO from 1998 to 2008. Results Of all patients, 18 patients were combined with pelvic fractures and hemorrhage. Bilateralis hypogastric artery ligation was performed early in 17 patients and nonage pelvis external fixation was performed in 12. Eleven multiple trauma patients combined with femoral fractures received primary debridement and temporal external fixation for further definitive internal fixation. Two patients with spinal fractures combined with spinal cord compression received primary simple decompression. All patients received resuscitation in ICU for average 4.3 days (1-11 days). There was one death due to hemorrhagic shock. Conclusions DCO well conforms to pathophysiological character of the wounded. Early DCO and later integrated treatment are key to enhancement of the survival rate of the multiple trauma patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hypertension and obesity and their main influencial factors among 6～12 years old children in Shenzhen.Method 1 140 children aged from 6 to 12 years old in 4 schools in Shenzhen were sampled by random cluster sampling,and their systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),body height,weight and other morphological parameters were measured.Results The prevalent rate of hypertension was 9.4%(8.6% for boys and 10.2% for girls);Rate of overweight and obesity for boys were 13.25% and 13.72,respectively,and the girl were 9.09% and 8.10%,respectively.There were a increasing trend toward SBP and DBP with age,especially SBP.After adjusted with age and gender,the partial correlation coefficients between BMI and SBP,DBP were 0.462 and 0.357,respectively(P

Objective To explore whether 5 to -7-day of folic acid supplementation prior to pemetrexed therapy is needed. Methods We retrospectively evaluate the outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer patients received less than the advised folic acid premedication. Seventy patients with Ⅲ-Ⅳ NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups: patients who initiated vitamin supplementation on 7 days before the first dose of pemetrexed (group A) and patients who initiated vitamin supplementation on the day of the first dose of pemetrexed (group B). Results In group A and group B, CR 0 and 0, PR 10 and 8, the response rates of 28.6% and 22.9% were observed, respectively. There was no statistically significant differences between these two groups. No significant differences were observed in the incidence of hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities. Conclusions The initiation of pemetrexed-based chemotherapy does not need to accommodate a vitamin supplementation schedule.

Objective To study the reconstitution of nature kill cell early after non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation (NAST). Methods Cell phenotypes and in vitro immune functions were analyzed by direct immune fluorescence with FCM, T-cell activation test and MTT assay, respectively. Results The percentages of CD+3, CD+4 cells were low, (2.03±15.60) % and (22.69±12.29)%, respectively, while CD+8 lymphocytes were normal or high [(29.26±8.99)%] 1 month after NAST. Proliferative response to a T lymphocyte activator (PHA) was blunted, 94.60±44.87. The percentage of NK cells was within normal limits or high (n=7) in allotransplanted patients. It is (18.77±9.11) %. The percentage of CD+56 NK cells expressing IL-2R (CD25) was high and values obtained from transplanted patients were significantly different from control values . They are (3.71±2.23) % (t = 2.116, P = 0.044). NK cell activity in part of patients was higher than that observed in control cells (25.30±12.39) % vs (16.60±3.53) % (t = 2.135, P= 0.047). Conclusion NK cell has recovered early after transplantation and may be particularly relevant as a first line of defence in immunosurveillance against neoplastic cells or microbial infections, until a full reconstitution of T cellmediated immune response can be achieved.

Objective To explore the effect of costimulatory moleculars expressed peripheral CD4+ T lymphocyts on graft-versus-host disease(GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). Methods 21 patients who suffered of hematology diseases or malignant solid tumors were underwent allo-HSCT and 10 normal individuals were enrolled in the study. The levels of CD28, CD80 and CD152expressions on peripheral CD4+ T lymphocytes were detected by FCM in different time(before allo-HSCT, 7 day,14 day, 21 day, 30 day after allo-HSCT, thetime of GVHD and the time after GVHD treated). STR-PCR was used to detect micro-satellites chimeras forming. Results All 21 patients achieved engraftment. By STR-PCR assay, 12 cases formed complete chimeras (CC) and 9 cases formed mixed chimeras (MC). A multivariate COX survival function modle analysis showed: CD4 CD152 was independent prognostic factors for GVHD (x2=13.128,P ＜0.0001). Patients with GVHD demonstrated higher CD4+ CD28+, CD4+ CD80+ and CD4+ CD152+ T cell levels than those without GVHD (P ＜0.01); patients with aGVHD demonstrated higher than those with cGVHD (P ＜0.05)and without GVHD (P ＜0.05); Patients with GVHD demonstrated lower CD4+ CD152+ T cell level than those without GVHD (P ＜0.01); the same result occured between aGVHD and cGVHD and without GVHD.Conclusion The incidence of GVHD between NST and traditional HSCT have no difference. B7-CD28/CD152 costimulatory pathway plays a critical role in the development of GVHD.

Objective To investigate the expression of survivin and B7-1 mRNA in acute leukemia and the prognostic significance in AL.Methods The expression of survivin and B7-1 mRNA was measuredin 64 AL patients with semi-quantity reverse transcription(RT)-PCR.14 adults were tested as normal controls(NC)and K562,NB4 cell lines were also tested as positive controls.Results The positive rates of survivin was higher than that of normal controis(NC).The expression of survivin in de novo AL Was higher than that in NC,while it decreased in complete remission(CR)patients.In relapsed patients the expression of survivin increased again.Meanwhile the expression of B7-1 has no signifieient change,but the expression Was lower than that in NC.In AL patients,the CR rate of positive survivin cases was lower than that of negative survivin cases.Conclusion Abnormal expression of survivin and B7-1 genes Was related to pathogenesis and progression of AL and it can serve as a marker of relapse and poor prognosis in AL.

Objective To construct an eukaryotic vector with expression of human survivin gene with green fluorescent protein which is named pIRES2-EGFP/survivin and transfected into K562 cell line.Methods Using pDNR/Survivin plasmid as a template, the full length of survivin cDNA was amplified by PCR and subsequently cloned into T-A vector and then subcloned into pIRES2-EGFP vector. After identified by digestion of restrictive endonucleases, pIRES2-EGFP/survivin was further confirmed by sequencing. Then it was transfected into K562 cells with superfect reagents. The mRNA was isolated and survivin gene was detected by Western blotting. Results The exact sequences of pIRES2-EGFP/survivin vector were confirmed by digestion of restrictive endonucleases and sequencing. After transfection, the expressions of green fluorescent protein were present. The mRNA expression of survivin has been detected in transfected cells by RT-PCR. Conclusion The vector pIRES2-EGFP/survivin has been constructed and could express survivin gone in K562 cells successfully.

Objective To analyze the relationship between the expression of protection of telomeres 1 (POT1) and the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods 62 patients with de novo AML (case group) and 10 patients with iron deficiency anemia (control group) were enrolled in this study. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of POT1 in AML patients. Results There were 62 de novo AML patients, including 2 cases M1, 14 cases M2, 12 cases M3, 14 cases M4, 17 cases M5, 2 cases M6 and 1 case AML without classification. According to the risk stratification, high risk group (24 cases), medium risk group (22 cases) and low risk group (16 cases) were divided. Compared with that in the controls, POT1 expression levels in patients with AML were significantly decreased both in mRNA and protein level (P< 0.05). The relative expression levels of POT1 mRNA and protein in patients with M2, M4 and M5 were significantly lower than those in the controls (P< 0.05). The expression levels of POT1 in high risk group, medium risk group and low risk group were significantly decreased than those in the controls (P<0.05). Compared with that in the controls, The relative POT1 mRNA expression was significantly decreased in M3 patients (P< 0.05), but not in protein level. POT1 protein expression was showed both in the cytoplasm and nucleus. There was no significant difference of the expression of POT1 protein between cytoplasm and nucleus (P> 0.05). Conclusions POT1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of AML. POT1 protein expresses in both cytoplasm and nucleus, and the regulatory mechanism may be related to the telomere length.
