Objectives To establish the mouse heart transplantation model and observe the effect of anti-rejection of IL-12 antibody.Methods Twenty-five mice undergoing heterotopic heart graft were divided into 4 groups:isograft one(n=5),simple homograft one(n=6),γ-globulin treated one(n=6)and IL-12 antibody treated one(n=8).Results The survival time of cardiac graft in the groups was as follows:＞ 100 days in isograft group,7.3 days in simple homograft group,7.5 days in r-globulin treated group and 15.4 days in IL-12 antibody treated group.Conclusions A stable mouse heart transplantation modd was established.IL-12 antibody could significantly prolong the survival of mouse cardiac graft and antagonize rejection of organ transplantation.

Small cell lung cancer(SCLC),characterized with rapid growth and early metastasis ,accounts for about 15~20 percent of all kinds of lung cancer .Patients with extensive disease of SCLC should be treated with combined chemotherapy .The standard treatment for extensive SCLC is etoposide combined with platinum , shortly for EP,with no breakthrough progress in the last decades .This paper briefly reviews the combination of iri-notecan/platinum that showed effectiveness and safety in the treatment of extensive SCLC .

Although the organ transplantation had a rapid development in the last 50 years due to the immunosuppression application,the side effect of the immunosppression is one factor affecting the recipient' s long term survival.Immune tolerance induction can solve this problem.Some studies had found a few operational tolerance organ recipients in clinical practice.The regulatory T cells and some gene's expression in the peripheral blood can be used as the potential immune tolerance biomarkers in the operational tolerance kidney and liver recipient.The dentritic cells,and the γδTCR + T cells' number differences were also found in the operational tolerance liver recipient,and B lymphocyte number difference was also found in the peripheral blood of the operational tolerance kidney recipient.All these markers may be the potential biomarker of immune tolerance.As the important role of MicroRNA in the immune system,it may also be the potential immune tolerance biomarker of the organ transplantation.

Wistar-to-SD rat pancreas transplantation was performed in 35 SD rat recipients with diabetes-induced.Donor antigen was administered through IV or PV and the antigen treatment was performed before or during the transplantation.Graft vein was drained into IV or PV.The results showed that donor antigen pretreatment via PV combined with graft drainage PV synergistically prolongs the pancreas graft survival,and the effect of simultananeous antigen treat-ment during transplantation is not as satisfactory as that of antigen pretreatment,but may be more practical.

The shortage of liver organ donor is the barrier to the development of liver transplantation.In the past recent years,the usefulness of the donation after cardiac death donor has increased significantly.So the donor after cardiac death may be the important way to expand the liver organ donor pool.The high incidence of the biliary complication,primary non function and the arterial thrombosis may the most important effectors on the survival outcome of the recipients accepted liver after cardiac death.Reducing warm ischemia time,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and ex vivo hypothermic machine perfusion may be the ways to improve the life quality of the liver donor after cardiac death and the survival outcome of the recipients.

OBJECTIVE: To improve recognization of clinical, imaging and pathological characteristics of basal cell adenoma (BCA) of parotid gland. METHOD: We collected and analyzed the data of the clinical manifestation, imaging features, histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of BCA of parotid gland (n = 9). RESULTS: Among 9 patients, 2 male, 7 female, and the average age was 55.2 (from 34 to 66 years). The clinical manifestation showed the painless mass in the parotid region. Seven cases underwent CT and other 2 cases underwent MRI. Imaging showed all tumors were located in the superficial lobe, roughly spherical and non-lobulated in shape, with well-defined boundary. The maximal diameter was less than 30 mm. Seven cases showed slightly high density shadow of soft tissue on plain CT. Compared with the parotid signal intensity, two cases showed hypointensity on T1WI and high signal on T2WI. All lesions showed obvious enhancement on delayed contrast CT or MRI. Cystic changes occurred in two cases. Gross observation: the tumors were solid in section, grey, medium in nature and clear with the surrounding tissues. Cystic changes occurred in the superficial region of superficial lobe of two cases. The capsule of tumor was well circumscribed in 8 cases and focally involved in another case. Microscopy: The parenchyma of BCA was mainly composed of basaloid cells, with myoepithelial cells palisading at the periphery of the epithelial nests. Basal membrane separated the parenchyma from the stromal, the latter lacking the myxochondroid matrix. Immunohistochemistry: basaloid cells were positive for CKpan, CD117 and CKL, while myoepithelial cells were positive for P63, SMA, and calponin. The Ki-67 lablel ing index of tumour cell was 0-4%. All patients performed superficial lobe parotidectomy and tumor dissection, and they recovered well postoperatively without tumor recurrence or malignancy. CONCLUSION The BCA of parotid gland has distinctive imaging and pathological features with favourable postoperative prognosis.

Objective To study the relationship between CA125 and endometriosis.Methods We tested the level of CA125 in serum and fluid of ovarian cysts of patients with endometriosis and non-endometriosis,respectively.Results The mean CA125 concentration in the fluid of endometrial cysts of the ovary(ECO) was remarkably higher than that of the serum in ECO group(P0.05).Conclusion The level of CA125 has bearing on the occurrence,development and prognosis of endometriosis,CA125 level is positively correlated with the severity of the disease.Therefore,it is valuable to test serum CA125 level for diagnosing endometriosis.

Osteoporosis has become a global public health problem, and dietary interventions may potentially be helpful in preventing this disorder.Salt ( sodium chloride) is one of the most important dietary nutrients.High sodium chloride intake may play an important role in bone metabolism.In this paper, we reviewed the effects of high sodium chlo-ride intake on bone mineral density, bone mineral content and bone biochemical markers, and analyzed the possible causes through currently available literature.Although there are a few inconsistencies results, we conclude a long-term high salt intake can reduce bone density or bone mineral content, change many biochemical markers of bone resorption, which may be caused mainly by increasing urinary calcium excretion and a low-grade metabolic acidosis.However, there are still many unclear aspects need further exploration.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic susceptibilities of quantitatively cultivated bacteria from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples. Methods Totally 312 BALF samples were streak inoculated to chocolate,blood and MAC plates with 10 μL annulus,and the bacterial colony ＞ 104 CFU/mL was considered pathogenic bacteria. The identification of pathogenic bacteria was carried out with Vitek 2-Compact,and Kirby-Bauer disc agar diffusion method,Etest and dilution method were used for antibiotics sensitivity test.Results Totally 216 (69.2％) strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated.The major gram-negative strains were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, and the major gram-positive strains were Staphylococcus aureus,Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus epidermidis.The resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to aztreonam was high,but lower than 30％ to piperacillin/tazobactam,imipenem,cefepime,ofloxacin,ceftazidime and amikacin.Staphylococcus aureus was highly resistant to erythromycin,benzylpenicillin and clindamycin,but it was sensitive to furadantin,vancomycin,quinupristin/dalfoprisdn,tigecycline and linezolid.Conclusion The positive rate of BALF cultivation is high,and the main pathogenic bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli are resistant to several commonly used antibiotics.
