Effect of Inflammation on Costimulation Blockade-Resistant Allograft Rejection

Previously, we reported that allogeneic skin grafts were rapidly rejected by CD28 and CD40 ligand double deficient mice mediated by CD8⁺ T cells. These results indicated that some elements in addition to CD28- and CD40-mediated costimulation provide stimulatory signals for the activation of donor-specific CD8⁺ T cells. In this report, we investigated the role of inflammation associated with transplantation on costimulation-independent priming of CD8⁺ T cell during graft rejection. B6 RAG1 KO mice were transplanted with BALB/c-skin and adoptively transferred with syngeneic CD8⁺ T cells the same day or 50 days after transplantation. When blockade of CD28- and CD40-mediated costimulation failed to prevent acute rejection of freshly transplanted skin grafts, it efficiently delayed rejection of well-healed skin grafts. These results showed that factors associated with transplantation have essential roles in inducing costimulation blockade-resistant allograft rejection. Costimulation blockade failed to prevent acute graft-infiltration of NK cells and increasing expression of intragraft IL-12 and IL-15. These factors may trigger the graft-infiltration and priming of CD8⁺ T cells to induce costimulation blockade-resistant allograft rejection.     

固本延衰方对亚急性衰老模型小鼠IL-2及其受体表达的影响

目的:探讨固本延衰方延缓亚急性衰老模型小鼠衰老的机制。方法:将60只小鼠随机分为4组,除正常对照组外均皮下注射D-半乳糖造成衰老模型,并给予不同剂量的固本延衰方治疗,分别用放免法及流式法测定脾淋巴细胞白细胞介素2及其受体水平。结果:衰老模型组IL-2及其受体水平明显低于正常对照组(P<0.05),固本延衰方各剂量组IL-2及其受体水平明显高于衰老模型组(P<0.05,P<0.01)。结论:提示固本延衰方通过提高衰老机体淋巴细胞IL-2及其受体表达水平,从而调节机体免疫功能延缓衰老。     

切实把握临床医学与ICD-10的关系

要使疾病相关分组系统在我国尽快推广使用就要提高ICD-10编码的准确率,编码人员必须加强临床医学知识的学习,结合ICD-10的编码原则,通过认真阅读病历再进行编码,临床医师也应了解ICD-10的分类轴心和规则,书写好病历.     

Reciprocal regulation of the nitric oxide synthase/arginase balance in mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages by TH 1 and TH 2 cytokines

Activation with lipopolysaccharide induces macrophages to produce the enzymes arginase and nitric oxide (NO) synthase. Both enzymes use as a substrate the amino acid L-arginine, which can be either hydrolyzed by arginase to urea and ornithine or oxidized by NO synthase to NO and citrulline. NO is important in the bactericidal and cytotoxic activities of macrophages. An equivalent functional role of arginase and its products is not known. We tested the induction of arginase in bone marrow-derived macrophages by endogenous mediators that are known to induce NO synthase, such as interferon-γ (IFN-γ), or suppress the induction of this enzyme, such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂). We find that PGE₂ and the TH2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 are potent inducers of arginase. In contrast, the TH 1 cytokine IFN-γ does not induce arginase. Simultaneous application of both types of mediators leads to reduced induction of both arginase and NO synthase. Exposure of macrophage cultures to inducers of NO synthase exhausts their ability to respond subsequently to inducers of arginase. Conversely, exposure of the cells to inducers of arginase exhausts their ability to respond subsequently to inducers of NO synthase. The results are consistent with a competition of both enzymes for their substrate, L-arginine, with a reciprocal inhibition in the induction of both enzymes, or a combination of both phenomena. The enzymes NO synthase and arginase appear to define two alternate functional states of macrophages, induced by TH 1 and TH 2 cytokines, respectively.     

Hypereosinophilic syndrome in Hodgkin's disease with increased granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor

We report a patient with eosinophilia accompanied by Hodgkin's disease who showed remarkable increase in granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in plasma but no increase in interleukin-5 (IL-5). The plasma GM-CSF level normalized as eosinophilia and lymphadenopathy disappeared after chemotherapy. Immunohistochemical study with immunoperoxidase staining technique showed a positive stain in lymph node cells by monoclonal anti-GM-CSF antibody. Eosinophilia is often accompanied by Hodgkin's disease, and several cases have been reported to show high levels of plasma IL-5. To our knowledge, this is the first report to show a high level of plasma GM-CSF in Hodgkin's disease with eosinophilia.

Detection of cytoplasmic IL-1 beta in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Cytokines including IL-1 beta have been implicated in the pathophysiology of sepsis and the systemic inflammatory response. It is believed that certain critically ill patients may be 'primed' with respect to cytokine production, and that subsequent 'triggers' may cause exaggerated cytokine production in these patients with exacerbation of their clinical condition; however, no means of identifying 'primed' patients has been described. The presence of cytoplasmic IL-1 beta within peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients in the ICU was investigated as a means of identifying 'primed' patients, using fluorescent antibody labelling and flow cytometry. The study revealed that PBMC from ICU patients had a different staining pattern for IL-1 beta than those from healthy subjects, and that PBMC from certain ICU patients did indeed stain strongly for IL-1 beta; however, the presence of these strongly staining cells was not associated with clinical condition or outcome. It is concluded that whilst it might be possible to identify 'primed' patients in the ICU using this technique, this is of no clinical value as a predictor of clinical course.     

An efficient procedure for the regioselective synthesis of 10-methoxy-11-hydroxyaporphine from (R,S)-10,11-dihydroxyaporphine

A regioselective preparation of 10-methoxy-11-hydroxyaporphine (“Apocodeine,1b”) from (R,S)-10, 11-dihydroxyaporphine(apomorphine,1a) is described. The isopropylidene ketal ring of 10,11-(isopropylidenyldioxy) aporphine (2) obtained by the isopropylidenation of apomorphine, was regioselectively opened by the ten equivalent of trimethylaluminum to give 10-hydroxy-11-t-butyloxyaporphine (3). The free 10-hydroxyl position of 3 was methylated with methyl p-toluenesulfonate/NaH, and afforded 10-methoxy-11-t-butyloxyaporphine (4) in high yield. Selective debutylation gave the desired 10-methoxy-11-hydroxyaporphine (“apocodeine”,1b) in good yield.
