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 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.

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.

Background High myopia is one of the primary factors of visual impairment,and its prevention and management are researching hot topics.Corneal curvature (CC) measures the steepness of the cornea which is an important parameter leading to myopia.Genome-wide association study (GWAS) showed that several genes are associated with CC in Asian populations.However,the association of corneal curvature-related genes with high myopia is unclear up to now.Objective This study was to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the rs74225573 (mechanistic target of rapamycin [MTOR]),rs60078183 (cytidine/uridine monophosphate kinase 1 [CMPK1]),rs1800813 (platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha [PDGFRA]),rs11204213 (retinol binding protein 3 [RBP3]) and high myopia in Chinese Han population.Methods A prospective cohort study was performed.Four hundreds and eighty-three patients with high myopia were collected in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from February 2012 to August 2013,with the diopter (-10.84±4.69)D in the right eyes and (-10.35±4.67)D in the left eyes or ocular axial length of (28.15±2.27)mm in the right eyes and (27.72±2.51)mm in the left eyes.Five hundreds and nineteen normal volunteers matched in age and gender were included in the same period as controls,and all the subjects were Chinese Han people without genetic relationship.The periphery blood of 4 ml was obtained for the DNA extraction from each subject under the written informed consent.The primers of rs74225573,rs60078183,rs1800813 and rs1 1204213 were designed based on the information of NCBI website.The four SNPs were amplified by real-time PCR and genotyped by SNaPshot method.Results All the genotype frequencies of these four SNPs were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE).There are no significant differences in minor allele frequency (MAF) distribution of rs74225573,rs60078183 and rs11204213 between high myopia group and normal control group (rs74225573:Pag-corrected =0.935,OR =0.98;rs60078183:Page-currected =0.782,OR =1.04;rs11204213:Page-currected =0.058,OR =1.66),and the M AF of rs1800813 was significantly higher in the high myopia group than that in the normal control group (Page-currected =0.001,OR =0.64).The genotype frequency of rs74225573,rs60078183 and rs11204213 was not evidently different in additive model 1 (AB vs.BB),additive model 2 (AA vs.BB),dominant model (AA+AB vs.BB) and recessive model (AA vs.AB+BB) (all at P＞0.05),while significant differences were found in genotype frequency of rs1800813 both in additive model 1 and dominant model (additive model 1:P=0.002,OR=0.59;dominant model:P=0.001,OR=0.58).Conclusions The SNP of rs1800813 in the PDGFRA gene is associated with the pathogenesis of high myopia in the Chinese Han population,but the SNPs of rs74225573 (MTOR gene),rs60078183 (CMPK1 gene) and rs11204213 (RBP3 gene) appear to be not associated with high myopia.

[Objective] To observe the antitussive and antiasthmatic actions of Nervilia fordii (Hance) Schitr. (NF). [Methods] NIH mice were randomized into 8 groups: 3 NF water-extract groups and 3 NF ethanol-extract groups in high, moderate and low doses (19.2, 9.6 and 4.8 g?kg-1?d-1 respectively), positive control group (codeine phosphate 50 mg?kg-1?d-1 in the antitussive experiment and theocin 0.1g?kg-1?d-1 in the antiasthmatic experiment) and model group. Mice cough models induced by ultrasonic spray of ammonium hydroxide and guinea pigs asthma models induced by ultrasonic spray of histamine-acetylcholine mixture were adopted to observe the antitussive and antiasthmatic actions of NF. [Results] Water-extract and ethanol-extract of NF in three doses decreased the cough frequency in mice, and ethanol-extract of NF in three doses prolonged the cough latent period (P
