Objective To study the biological characteristics of dendritic cells (DCs) derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients diagnosed with syphilis. Methods PBMCs were isolated from 16 patients clinically and serologically diagnosed with syphilis, and from 16 healthy human controls, then cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4. On day 10, the monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs)of the patients and controls were collected and subjected to the detection of surface molecules by flow cytometry; TpN17 was used to stimulate MoDCs from the controls, the expression of phosphorylated ERK was detected by Westem blotting 20 minutes following the stimulation. Results The positivity rate of CD80 was significantly increased in the patients with syphilis than that in the controls (51.90% vs 33.67,P < 0.05), while no significant difference was observed in the expressions of CD83, CD86 or HLA-DR be tween the two groups (16.53% vs 15.99%, 66.13% vs 59.32%, 91.29% vs 90.51%, all P 0.05). The ex pressions of CD80 and CD83 on the surface of MoDCs were enhanced in a dose-dependent manner after ex-posure to TpN17. The expression of cytoplasmic phosphorylated ERK was observed in MoDC stimulated by TpN17, but not in those without the treatment. Conclusions Antigenic stimulation with Treponema pal-lidum may be a reason for phenotypic abnormality of MoDCs derived from patients with syphilis. TpN17 may stimulate the maturation of DCs through the ERK signal transduction pathway.

Objective To observe on the clinical effect and the influence of the level of plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in acute leukemia before and after treatment by thalidomide combined with chemotherapy. Methods Thirty-six cases of acute leukemia patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by 18 cases each. Each group was treated with conventional chemotherapy in the standard-dose, meanwhile in the experimental group additional thalidomide 100 mg/day were taken orally. Before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment, plasma were collected for the detection of VEGF, VEGFR and bFGF content by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The ratio of experimental group and control group, were 88.9 % (16/18), 77.8 % (14/18)respectively and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.103, P <0.05). The level of plasma VEGF (389.78+249.94 pg/ml, 318.54±125.78 pg/ml) of experimental group and control group before treatment was statistically significant (t = 3.141, t =3.024, P <0.01) compared with healthy group [(132.91±26.66) pg/ml] respectively. The level of plasma VEGF of those groups after treatment [(211.74+36.72) pg/ml, (288.02±31.77) pg/ml] was statistically significant (t =2.413, t =2.324, P <0.05) compared with healthy group respectively. The difference of the level of plasma VEGF of experimental group and control group before treatment was not statistically significant (t =1.384, P >0.05). The difference of the level of plasma VEGF of experimental group and control group after treatment was statistically significant(t =2.793,P <0.05). The level of plasma VEGFR [(2490.75+1695.9) pg/ml, (2322.78+1105.87) pg/ml] of experimental group and control group before treatment was statistically significant (t =2.914, t =2.783, P <0.01) compared with healthy group [(1134.98+378.45) pg/ml] respectively. The level of plasma VEGFR of those groups after treatment [(1359.71± 390.24) pg/ml, (1753.89±337.04) pg/ml] was statistically significant(t =2.572, t =2.447, P <0.05) compared with healthy group respectively. The difference of the level of plasma VEGFR of experimental group and control group before treatment was not statistically significant (t =1.276, P >0.05). The difference of the level of plasma VEGFR of experimental group and control group after treatment was statistically significant (t = 2.486, P <0.05). The level of plasma bFGF [(2.43±0.27) ng/ml, (2.41±0.33) ng/ml] of experimental group and control group before treatment was statistically significant(t =4.982, t =4.171, P <0.05) compared with healthy group (1.83±0.44) ng/ml respectively; the level of plasma bFGF of those groups after treatment [(2.09±0.17) ng/ml,(2.11±0.31) ng/ml] was statistically significant (t =3.011, t =2.773, P <0.05) compared with healthy group respectively. The difference of the level of plasma bFGF of experimental group and control group before treatment was not statistically significant (t =0.953, P >0.05). The difference of the level of plasma bFGF of experimental group and control group after treatment was not statistically significant (t =1.282, P >0.05).Conclusion The remission rate could be improved by thalidomide combined with chemotherapy in acute leukemia, which could be an effective treatment by anti-angiogenesis and inhibiting the growth and infiltration of acute leukemia cells.
