AIM:To establish an optimal protocol for isolating and extracting mouse hepatocellular carcinoma H22 cell-detrived microparticles(H22-MPs),evaluate their stimulating effect on dendritic cells(DC),and investigate the cytotoxic capacity of CD8+T cells induced by H22-MPs on hepatocellular carcinoma cells.METHODS:The H22-MPs were extracted by high-speed differential centrifugation,and the morphology of H22-MPs was observed by transmis-sion electron microscopy.The particle size distribution of H22-MPs was detected by dynamic light scattering,and the ex-pression of vesicle surface markers was detected by Western blot.The protein components and pathways involved by MPs were analyzed by labeling free quantitative proteomics combining with bioinformatics GO and KEGG enrichment methods.The effect of MPs antigen on the expression of CD11c,a mature marker of DC,was detected by laser confocal microscopy.Next,CD8+T cells were sorted by magnetic beads,and the secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interferon-γ(IFN-γ)and interleukin-2(IL-2)in the supernatant of CD8+T cells stimulated by DC loaded with H22-MPs was detected by ELISA.Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)test was conducted to evaluate the specific killing effect of CD8+T cells induced by DC loaded with H22-MPs on hepatocellular carcinoma cells.RESULTS:The results showed that the morphology,size and vesicle markers of H22-MPs met the requirements.Most of the H22-MPs protein antigens were derived from its parent cell H22 and coordinated various signal transduction pathways in the cells.Subsequently,it was detected that H22-MPs increased the expression of CD11c on the surface of DC,and H22-MPs were mainly localized in the lysosomes of DC.In addition,DC loaded with H22-MPs stimulated CD8+T to release high levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ and IL-2,and it also pro-moted CD8+T to overexpress CD69,thus inducing CD8+T to killhepatocellular carcinoma cells specifically.CONCLU-SION:H22-MPs promote the maturation of DC,and the mature DC may induce CD8+T cells to play an anti-hepatocellu-lar carcinoma immune response by promoting the activation of CD8+T cells.

Liver transplantation(LT)is the only effective treatment for hepatopulmonary syndrome(HPS).Moreover,perioperative refractory hypoxemia(pRH)is a prevalent life-threatening condition and has extremely limited treatment options.Here,we report three patients with HPS who experienced pRH after LT and were consecutively treated with different salvage therapies,ephedrine inhalation,intravenous use of methylene blue with nitric oxide(NO)inhalation,and NO inhalation alone.The results showed that unresolved severe hypoxia may induce fatal morbidity such as early biliary leakage and acute kidney injury.Early initiation of NO inhalation,rather than ephedrine,can significantly improve oxygenation in patients with pRH and may help prevent hypoxia-related complications.Therefore,based on the response to these exploratory salvage treatments,we further demonstrate the unique ventilation-perfusion mismatch pathophysiology in specific lung regions during pRH in HPS.We propose that early inhalation of NO is an important treatment option to rescue severe hypoxia in patients with HPS during the perioperative period of LT.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of the adult onset Still's disease(AODS),its concomitant symptoms,and misdiagnosis.Methods To analyze retrospectively 12 adults who were diagnosed bosh by clinical treatment and laboratory examination as AODS patients.Results 12 cases suffered from fever,9 cases from dermatitis and arthralgia,3 cases from muscle pains,3 cases from enlarged liver,4 cases from enlarged spleen,3 cases from enlarged liver and spleen,and 3 cases from abdomen pain.Conclusion AODS does not have special symptoms in its early stage.Its complexity often results in a missdiagnosis.
