365 low birth weight infants have been born inour Obstetric Department in the past two years. Aretrospective investigation of their morthers' con-ditions during pregnancy and delivery which had aneffect on their babies weight was done. The resultsshowed that incidence of low birth weight infantswas 7. 99% and mortality rate was 15. 07%. The care.X~2 test indicated that hypertention syndrome ofpregnancy and anemia which the mothers sufferedfrom were the main diseases which affected birthweight of infants. The analysis of multiple stepwiseregression showed that the most dangerous factorswere peasant mothers, premature and neonate ab-normity. So we must strengthen perinatal healthcare.

Objective To investigate the phenotypes and the HIV-1-specific T cell responses of KIR3DL1 positive CD8 cells in patients with early HIV-1 infection. Methods Fifty-six HIV-1 antibody negative individuals and thirty-two patients with early HIV-1 infection were enrolled in the study. Fluores-cence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was performed to detect the phenotypes of KIR3DL1 receptor expressed on the surface of CD8 cells. The levels of IFN-γwere measured by intracellular cytokine staining assay after the PBMCs were stimulated with an HIV-1 Gag peptide pool. Results The percentages of KIR3DL1+CD8 T cells in HIV-1 negative individuals and patients with early HIV-1 infection were 1. 45% (0. 12%-8. 4%) and 0. 82% (0. 14%-6. 14%), respectively, and there was no significant difference between them. The percentages of KIR3DL1+CD8 Temra cells in HIV-1 negative individuals and patients with early HIV-1 infec-tion were (4. 55±3. 84)% and (6. 71±8. 50)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than the per-centages of KIR3DL1+CD8 Tem cells, which were (0. 50±0. 59)% and (1. 18±1. 39)%, respectively (all P<0. 01). Moreover, the percentages of KIR3DL1+CD8 Tem cells in patients with early HIV-1 infection were higher than those in HIV-1 negative individuals (P=0. 001 2). The percentage of KIR3DL1+CD8 Temra cells was positively correlated with the HIV-1 viral load in patients with early HIV-1 infection ( rs=0. 576,P=0. 000 9). The percentages of KIR3DL1+CD8 Temra cells in HIV-1 patients, whose viral loads were larger than 4. 0log, were much higher than those in HIV-1 patients with viral loads less than 4. 0 log (P=0. 002). Additionally, the levels of IFN-γsecreted by KIR3DL1 positive CD8 cells were much lesser than those secreted by KIR3DL1 negative CD8 cells (P<0. 000 1). Conclusion The receptor of KIR3DL1 was mainly expressed on CD8 Temra cells in both HIV-1 negative subjects and patients with early HIV-1 infec-tion. High HIV-1 viremia was associated with the high percentage of KIR3DL1+CD8 Temra cells. The KIR3DL1 positive CD8 cells induced lower HIV-1-specific T cell responses.

Aim: To investigate the pathological changes in NTBC[2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoro-methyl-benzoyl) -1,3 cy-clohexanedione]-induced hepatic injury in mice and in the repopulation of adult hepatocytes in Fah~(-/-) mouse. Methods: Autogenous hepatic injuries in Fah~(-/-) mice were induced by the treatment of NTBC. Injection of hepatocytes obtained from wild-type mice to spleen were transplanted into the Fah~(-/-) mice. Then, changes to body weight and the likelihood of the transplanted Fah~(-/-) mice, and hepatic immunohistochemistry were ob-served. In addition, pathological changes to liver damage induced by NTBC treatment were analyzed under HE-staining microscopy and electron microscopy. Results: The surviving Fah~(-/-) mice subjected to hepatocyte trans-plantation were found to be healthy and in stable body weight. liver repopulation reached to 90% in the 8th week. Repopulating hepatocytes caused no alteration to histological structure of the recipient liver, and subacute hepatic injury occurred in the Fah~(-/-) mice after NTBC treatment. Electronic microscopy observations indicated that necrosis in the hepatocytes occurred at early stage and that apoptosis gradually appeared. It was also shown both necrosis and apoptosis co-existed in the same samples of interest at the following stages of the induced liver injury. Conclusion: Transplanted hepatocytes proliferated in Fah~(-/-) mice allow 90% of the hepatocytic repopula- tion. Repopulation renders normal hepatic function and structure in the recipient Fah~(-/-) mice, as a model of liver repopulation, could be applicable in study of stem cell derived hepatic cells in transplantation assay.
