Objective To explore a quick and feasible method of screening malaria parasite by using a Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer though alarm information on high eosinophil count and atypical eosinophil distributions in the WBC scattergram. Methods Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer was used for complete blood cell analysis. Microscopic review was used when high eosinophil count and atypicaleosinophil distributions in the WBC scattergram were found. If the review showed normal eosinophil cells, wecontinued to focus on red cell for searching malaria parasite. Results Among 1 501 specimens showing higheosinophil counts and atypical eosinophil distributions, nine cases with normal eosinophil cells were indisaccordance with the hematology analyzer, six of them showed high eosinophil count in the Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer, whose distribution was located close to neutrophil clusters in scattergram. The otherthree had an abnormal WBC scattergram. There was no gap between eosinophil clusters and neutrophilclusters, which brought no classified results. But all the nine specimens had been found the trophozoite,schizont and merozoite in blood smears. Conclusions There were great possibility of the existence of themalaria parasite in specimens when hematology analysis showed high eosinophil count and atypical eosinophildistributions in the WBC scattergram in a Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer, although these alarm wasnot comfirmed by microscopic review. This method provides not only a simple and reliable way for quickscreening malaria parasite but also has a great value in preventing the undetected ratio on malaria parasite.

Objective:To study the effects of FcγRIIb gene modified dendritic cells on liver function and rejection after orthotopic liver transplantation in rats.Methods:The recombinant lentivirus expression vector TRE-FcγRIIb containing Lewis rat FcγRIIb gene was constructed by gene cloning technique. TRE-FcγRIIb expression virus and TET-on regulatory virus were packaged and co-infected with immature dendritic cells derived from DA rat bone marrow. The expression of FcγRIIb was detected. Donor rats DA and recipient Lewis were paired according to body weight and then randomly divided into three groups. The control group (group A) did not receive any pretreatment. The Lewis rats in group B were treated with cyclosporin A on the 2nd day after liver TX. Immature dendritic cells derived from bone marrow of DA rats were injected intravenously one day before liver TX in FcγRIIb gene modified immature dendritic cells (1×10 6 cells)group (group C). Blood and liver tissue were biopsied 7 days after operation to detect liver function and pathological changes. Results:The abnormal liver function in FcγRIIb gene modified immature dendritic cells group (group C) was significantly lower than that of control group 7 days after operation ( P<0.05), and the liver pathological rejection of FcγRIIb gene modified immature dendritic cells group (group C) was significantly lower than that of control group 7 days after operation ( P<0.05). The average survival days of rats in the control group was 12.8 days; the average survival days of rats in the cyclosporin A group was 65.3 days; the average survival days of rats in the FcγRIIb gene-modified immature dendritic cell group was 58.5 days. Conclusion:FcγRIIb gene modified immature dendritic cells can ameliorate liver dysfunction and acute liver rejection after orthotopic liver transplantation.

To evaluate the value of the vaccinations with 3 strains of gene-deleted mutants from pseudorabies virus(PRV), PRV TK-, PRV gE-/gI- and PRV TK-/gE-/gI- after to exposure to the wild Fa strain, these mutant strains from the PVR reference isolate Fa were used to vaccinate 4 weeks old PRV-free pigs with a dosage of 105 PFU each ,and followed by nasally challenged by the parental Fa strain with a dosage of 107 PFU at 14 days post vaccination. The pathological changes, virus discharge and distribution were evaluated after vaccination and challenge. It was found that the histopathological observations in the 10 collected samples including cerebrum, cerebellum, heart, liver, lungs, spleen, kidneys, tonsils, lymph nodes and trigeminal ganglion from these 3 mutant strains showed that the rates of occurrence of pathological changes in various organs were 4/10, 3/10 and 4/10 respectively, whereas that of the positive controls were 9/10. The damage in lungs was more serious in pigs vaccinated with PRV TK-mutant and positive control in comparison with other groups of pigs inoculated, and the damages in cerebrum, cerebellum and trigeminal ganglion in positive controls were more serious than those of pigs vaccinated with the 3 gene-deleted mutants. However, the tonsils, the main organ for latent infection were damaged mildly in the pigs inoculated with these 3 gene-deleted mutants in comparison with that of the positive controls. As demonstrated by Southern blot analysis, all the vaccinated pigs could discharge viruses by secretion through nasal cavity, but the soldier pigs were not infected successively by the gene-deleted mutants and the gene-deleted mutants were also unable to establish infection in cerebrum and cerebellum. Nevertheless, they could not effectively block discharge of PRV Fa after exposure to Fa virus, but could block effectively the virulent Fa virus invading into cerebrum and cerebellum. From these observation, it is evident that the deleted mutants of the TK, gE/gI , TK/gE/gI genes can block the invasion of virulent Fa virus into cerebrum and cerebellum and lessen the damages on multiple organs or tissues ,indicating that the deleted mutant of TK/gE/gI gene may be the most promising candidate of vaccine strain for development of the commercial vaccine.

Objective To assess the effect of vitamin D insufficiency on the quality of life in the elderly.Methods A total of 205 cases in health examination center of our hospital were randomly divided into elderly group (aged ≥ 60 years) and middle-aged g roup (aged 45-60 years).The SF-36 Form was adopted to investigate status of body and mental health.Serum 25 (OH)D3 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Serum 25 (OH) Ds ≤ 49.9 nmol/L was defined as vitamin D insufficiency. ResultsThere were 55 cases (53.9%) with vitamin D insufficiency and 16 cases (15.7%) vitamin D sufficiency in the elderly.The scores of vitamin D insufficiency group in the elderly were lower than of vitamin D threshold and sufficiency groups in fourdimensions,including physical function,physical role,body pain and general health.The scores ofvitamin D insufficiency group in the elderly were also lower than of vitamin D threshold and sufficiency groups in three dimensions,including social functioning,vitality and mental health (F=10.28,9.20,6.60,all P<0.05).Serum 25(OH)D3 played more important role in scores of the quality of life in the elderly than other factors by stepwise multiple linear regression. ConclusionsThe vitamin D insufficient status widely exists in the elderly,and it might influence their quality of life.
