Objective:To prepare the production of TIGIT-Fc fusion protein using H22 cells stably integrated the gene by lentivirus vector , and to explore the immunoregulatory effect on macrophages by TIGIT-Fc.Methods: TIGIT-Fc fusion gene were constructed by molecular cloning.The fusion gene was then subcloned to plasmids contained the secretion signaling peptide .The secrected TIGIT-Fc fusion gene was inserted into the lentivirus backbone vector.The purified lentivirus vector was the used to infect the murine H22 cell line.TIGIT-Fc protein was purified by protein A column from the ascites of H 22-injected C57BL/6 mice.Macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ) was challenged to TIGIT-Fc treatment or control.Cytokine levels was then detected by ELISA.Results: TIGIT-Fc protein was purified from the ascites of H 22-injected mice.PVR was upregulated in LPS-treated macrophages.IL-10 level was upregulated in TIGIT-Fc treated macrophages.Conclusion: TIGIT-Fc promotes the mature macrophages to secrete anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.

Increasing cerebral blood flow in ischemic penumbra helps to promote neurological function recovery.Fibroblast growth factor is closely associated with angiogenesis after stroke;it may improve cerebral blood flow in ischemia penumbra,and thus contributes to neurological function recovery.Its application will become a novel approach in the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Objective To explore the clinical application of microsurgical techniques to therapy the femoral neck fracture in younger patients and prevent the necrosis of femoral head.Methods Seventy-four younger adults,age from 23 to 50,with femoral neck fractures were treated by open veducition,internal fixa- tion and pedicled bone transplantation from Jan.1995 to Dec.2004.All of the 74 patients were reviewed clin- ically and radiologically after an average of 3.2 years.Results In this group,19/74 cases(25.68%)had avaseular necrosis of the femoral head,which were diagnosised after an average of 28.5 months following inju- ry.Despite these results,these patients assessment with Harris system had been very good or good in 55/74 patients(74.32%).Conclusion It's an effective method to decrease the incidence of necrosis of femoral head after management the femoral neck fracture in younger patients by microsurgical techniques.

Objective To investigate the possible protective effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on rats with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods NaHS was taken as a donor of H2S. Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups with 8 rats in each group:sham group,MODS 12 h model group,MODS 24 h model group,NaHS protection 12 h and 24 h groups. The content of superoxidase dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),alanime transaminse (ALT),creatine kinase (CK) and creatinine (Cr) in serum were measured,respectively. The histopathological changes in the heart,liver,lung,kidney and small intestine were observed. Results The serum content of SOD and GSH-Px was significantly higher in protected H2S groups (P

Background and purpose: Epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most malignant tumor in female reproductive system because of its resistance to chemotherapy. Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (FBP1) is a rate-limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis used to catalyze the hydrolysis of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate to fructose-6-phosphate and inorganic phosphate, thereby inhibiting the effect of glycolysis in tumor cells. This study aimed to investigate the association between the expression of FBP1 and chemosensitivity. Methods: The expression level of FBP1 in ovarian cancer patients was measured by immunohistochemistry. Results: According to the results of immunohistochemistry in 209 ovarian carcinoma specimens, the percentage of positive FBP1 expression was about 49.3% (103/209). Loss of FBP1 was a negative factor of survival (42.6 months vs 62.1 months, P=0.003). Besides, patients who were sensitive to chemotherapy displayed significantly higher scores of FBP1 expression than patients who were resistant to therapy (P=0.007). Conclusion: The rate-limiting enzyme FBP1 in gluconeogenesis can be used as a biomarker for predicting the chemoresistance and prognosis of ovarian cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistanc of nosocomial infection pathogens from lower respiratory tract in senile patients in different season.METHODS The sputum samples from lower respiratory tract infection in senile patients in two years,were collected to identify pathogens and drug sensitivity test j udged according to NCCLS standard.RESULTS The gram-negative bacilli accounted for 85.7%.The gram- posutive bacilli accounted for 14.3%.The predominant pathogens were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(20.3%),Kleb- siella pneumoniae(14.5%),Acinetobacter lwof fi(9.8%),coagulase-negative staphylococci(9.0%).The distribution and antibiotic-resistanc of main pathogens had different characteristics in different season. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the characteristics of local pathogen spectruma and the antibiotic-resistanc of main pathogens in different season were signincant on prevention and therapy of the lower respiratory tract infection in senile patients.
