Objective To detect the levels of Th1 and Th2 type cytokines of peripheral blood CD+4 T lymphocytes in the patients with cervical cancer in order to find out the laboratory evidence of tumor immunotherapy. Methods The peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated by stimulator in order to enhance expression of cytokines. Then specific fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibody was added to be combined with its specific antigen. Results The level of IL-2 produced by Th1 cells were lower in patients of cervical cancer than those of normal controls, there were significant difference between them. But the level of IFN-? produced by Th1 cells had no significant change in patients of cervical cancer in comparison with normal controls. The levels of Th2 type cytokines such as interleukin-4(IL-4), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-10(IL-10) were higher in patients of cervical cancer than those of normal controls, there were significant difference between them. Conclusion Th1/Th2 is imbalance in cervical cancer .Th1 type cytokines are inhibited, and Th2 type cytokines are relatively enhanced, so Th1/Th2 shifts to Th2. It may be the mechanism of tumor arising and transferring by immune escape from immunosurveillance.

0.05. Conclusion: The suppressive effect of MSC on patients with ITP in vitro showed no difference from that on the controls.

Objective To explore the effect of emergency corpus luteum cystectomy for the prevention of persistent ectopic pregnancy(PEP).Methods The clinical data of 68 patients with ectopie pregnancy in emergency conservative operation were analyzed retrospectively.All patients were divided into the observation group(treated with corpus luteum cystectomy,40 cases) and control group (without corpus luteum cystectomy,28 cases).The declining of β-HCG,incidence rate of PEP were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence rate of PEP of the observation group was 0,which was obviously lower than that of the control group(10.7％) (x2 =4.47,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The emergency corpus luteum cystectomy can effectively prevent PEP and the operation is simple and convenient.

Objective To study the relation between kidney function impairment and respiratory tract infections(RTI) in the elderly.Methods Two hundred and twenty-four patients above 65 years old were divided into five groups according to stages of chronic renal disease and estimated glomerular filtration rate (e GFR):(A group,n =65):≥90 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(B group,n =55):60-89 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(C group,n =27):30-59 ml/(min · 1.73 m2),(D group,n =28):15-29 ml/(min · 1.73 m2) and(E group,n =49):＜ 15 ml/(min · 1.73 m2).Taking A group as the control baseline.Logistic regression was employed to analyze the relationship between kidney function and RTL Results Compare with A group(10.8％,7/65),the incidences of RTI in three groups(C group,D group and E group were 63.0％ (17/27),85.7％ (24/28) and 100％ (49/49) respectively.The incidence in these groups was higher than that in A group(x2 =26.95,49.46 and 89.00 respectively,P ＜ 0.05).We identified the risk factors with RTI were smoking (Waldx2 =17.66,P ＜ 0.01),respiratory underlying diseases(Waldx2 =14.38,P ＜0.01),invasive operation history(Waldx2 =4.50,P ＜ 0.05),diabetes (Waldx2 =3.86,P ＜ 0.05),stay in hospital for above 2 weeks (Waldx2 =18.18,P ＜ 0.01),Gender(Waldx2 =4.12,P ＜ 0.05),eGFR (Waldx2 =13.57,P ＜ 0.01).After adjusting for other risk factors of RTI,Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of RTI still increased with the decrease of eGFR (eGFR≥90 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =0.053,P ＞0.05);60-89 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =0.046,P＞0.05) ;30-59 ml/(minl · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =7.61,P＜0.05),15-29 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =4.38,P＜0.05); ＜15 ml/(min · 1.73 m2):(Waldx2 =13.57,P＜0.01)).Conclusion Kidney function impairment in patients above 65 years old is an independent risk factor for RTI.

BACKGROUND:Atherosclerosis is a common complication in diabetic nephropathy and hemodialysis patients. The effect of hemodialysis duration and other relative factors on the atherosclerosis of patients with diabetic nephropathy needs to be further observed and explored. OBJECTIVE:To observe the atherosclerosis in the patients with different hemodialysis durations, then to evaluate the effect of hemodialysis duration and other relative factors on atherosclerosis of patients with diabetic nephropathy. METHODS:The intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group, non-diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group and end-stage renal disease non-hemodialysis group was detected with high-frequency ultrasonic testing, and the healthy volunteers were as the normal control group. The relationship between the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the hemodialysis patients and hemodialysis duration was analyzed, and the changes of insulin resistance in each group were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group, the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group and non-diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was increased (P<0.01);there was no significant difference of intima-media thickness of the carotid artery between 24 hours diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group and end-stage renal disease non-hemodialysis group (P>0.05);the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the 60 months diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was higher than that in the 24 hours diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group (P<0.05);the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery in the 60 months diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was significantly higher than that in the end-stage renal disease non-hemodialysis group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference of intima-media thickness of the carotid artery between 60 months diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group, end-stage renal disease non-hemodialysis group and 24 hours diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group (P>0.05). The homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance value in the 24 hours diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was slightly lower than that in the diabetic nephropathy non-emodialysis group (P<0.05), and the homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance value in the 60 months diabetic nephropathy hemodialysis group was significantly lower than that in the diabetic nephropathy non-emodialysis group (P<0.01). The development of atherosclerosis on diabetic nephropathy patients can be affected by hemodialysis to some extent. And the effect is correlated with the hemodialysis duration.

Objective To study the effects of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signal pathway and downstream cytokineson androgen-independent growth of prostate cancer (PC) cells.Methods The human androgen-dependent PC (ADPC) cell line LNCaP and androgen-independent PC (AIPC) cell line DU145 were cultured in vitro.Immunocytochemistry was used to examine the expressions of the androgen receptor (AR),GR,HSPg0 and interleukin-6 (IL-6).The GR antagonist RU486 was used to treat cultured cells,and the effects of RU486 on the proliferation of both cell lines were analyzed by MTT assay.Expressions of HSP90 and IL-6 mRNA and protein were assessed by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively.Results LNCaP cells were AR-positive and GR-negative,whereas DU145 cells were GR-positive and AR-negative.The expressions of HSP90 and IL-6 were significantly stronger in DU145 cells than in LNCaP cells (P＜0.01).RU486 had no obviously effects on the growth of LNCaP cells,but exerted a significant time-and dose-dependent growth inhibition on DU145 cells.RU486 treatment in DU145 cells also resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the expressions of HSP90 and IL-6 mRNA and protein.Conclusions GR signal pathway may be the main survival pathway for DU145 cells.Abnormal hyperactivation of GR signal pathway and its promoting the expressions of HSP90 and IL-6 may contribute to the progression of ADPC to AIPC after androgen ablation.
