The spleen cells,from the Liwis rats on the 14th day after immunization with interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein(IRBP),were cultured alone or with IRBP for 48 hours.As high as 3times;10 7cells were intraperitoneously transfered to naive rats.The cells stimulated by IRBP in vitro were able to transfer both EAU,EAP and specific immune reactions,contrary to those cultured aloe which transfer neither EAU,EAP nor specific immune reactions.It is highly suggested that EAU is predominantly T cell-mediated and that cells incubation with IRBP prior to transfer is indispensable for induction of EAU in naive recipients. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1993,9:210-213）
【Abstract】Objective This study was conducted to build experimental model of orthotopic liver transplantation in rat (ROLT) with the character of acute rejection; and to study the effect of cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 immunoglobulin G (CTLA4Ig) on prevention of rejection and the induction of immune tolerance of ROLT. Methods Build model of Wistar→SD ROLT(performed by the two cuff method) with character of acute rejection.Recipients were injected with CTLA4Ig 75 μg per ROLT into abdominal cavity after 2 days of operation. Contrast was made with no treatment group, the clinical characters, the liver function, the transplantated liver pathologic character and the concentrations of TNFα in serum were observed and measured on postoperative day 7. In treatment group, all above observation were done on postoperative month 4. Above all, determination of the effect of CTLA4Ig on preventing acute rejection and inducing tolerance in ROLT was observed.Results ①Recipients (no treatment group) died one by one within 6th～14th days; pathologic character of rejection in transplantation liver could be found; ② In treatment group, on postoperative day 7 and month 4, no clinical rejection character and no pathologic character of rejection in transplantation liver were found and serum concentration of cytokins related to TNFα found lower than that of contrast group(P＜0.05), and serum concentration of ALT、AST、TBIL、DBIL found lower too(P＜0.05); But serum concentration of TP and Alb was found higher than that of contrast group(P＜0.05). Conclusion ① CTLA4Ig treatment alone inhibits the rejection responce in ROLT. ② CTLA4Ig treatment can Prevent rejection and induce immune tolerance in ROLT model with characters of acute rejection; the serum concentration of cytokins related to TNFα can probably be used as evaluation standard of rejection in ROLT rejection.
Objective To study the relationship of hepatitis B virus （HBV） to spontaneous rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC-SR） and its mechanism. Method The related literatures about theory of HCC-SR were consulted and reviewed. Results The injury of small arteries was usually followed in patients with HCC-SR， which was related to vascular autoimmune injury caused by the HBV infection. The small arteries in which immune complex deposited were readily injured， as a result HCC-SR happened while vascular load increased. Conclusion The HBV infection resulted in vascular autoimmune injury maybe a important factor in the pathogenesis of HCC-SR.
ObjectiveTo analyze the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy and bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy (BIC), bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy (BC), chemotherapy (CT), immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy (IC), bevacizumab combined with immunotherapy (BI), bevacizumab (B) in the first-line treatment of advanced wild-type non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were searched to collect phase Ⅱ/Ⅲ randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to the objectives of the study from January 2010 to December 1, 2022. After two investigators independently screened the literatures, extracted the data and evaluated the risk of bias of the included studies, a reticular meta-analysis was performed using R 3.6.1 software. ResultsA total of 11 RCTs were finally included, including 5 329 patients and six treatment combinations. Meta-analysis results showed that BIC was superior to CT for progression-free survival (PFS) (HR=0.34, 95% CI 0.18 to 0.69), but BIC did not show a significant advantage over the other groups for overall survival (OS). Bayesian ranking results showed that the BIC group had the greatest probability in terms of OS, PFS, and ORR. Among all programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expressing subgroups, there was no significant difference in OS between BIC, BC, IC, CT, BI, and B. Compared with CT, IC was significantly improved in OS (HR=0.68, 95%CI 0.52 to 0.92), PFS (HR=0.58, 95%CI 0.45 to 0.75), and ORR (HR=0.47, 95%CI 0.33 to 0.66). ConclusionIn the first-line treatment of wild-type advanced non-squamous NSCLC, immunotherapy and bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy may improve the efficacy in the short term, but do not change the long-term survival time. Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy can significantly improve the survival time and prognosis of patients compared with chemotherapy alone. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of pre-infusion of allogeneic lymphoyctes treated with 5-FU on the rat liver graft. MethodsRat liver transplant models from Wistar to SD were established. Four groups were designed as following: control group: only liver transplantation without any other intervention; lymphocytes group: 1 ml of untreated lymphocytes (5×106/ml) from Wistar rats were preinfused into SD rats on day 7 and 4 separately before transplantation; lymphocytes with low concentration of 5-FU group: low concentration 5-FU (7.5 μg) treated lymphocytes were preinfused as above; lymphocytes with high concentration of 5-FU group: high concentration 5-FU (15 μg) treated lymphocytes were preinfused as above. Fas-L and CD8 expression were detected by immunohistochemistry method on day 7 after transplantation. ResultsThe integral opticaldensity (IOD) of Fas-L positive lymphocytes in the lobules of liver and portal areas were higher in lymphocytes with low concentration of 5-FU group than in the other groups （Plt;0.05）. There was no difference between lymphocyte group and lymphocytes with high concentration of 5-FU group （Pgt;0.05）. The IOD of CD8+ expression in lobules of liver was not different among all the three lymphocytes treated groups （Pgt;0.05）. But in portal areas, CD8+ expression was lower in the lymphocytes with low concentration of 5-FU group than in the other groups （Plt;0.05）. ConclusionPreinfusion of lymphocytes treated with low concentration 5-FU can induce graft immune tolerance, the probable mecanism of which is the increasing Fas-L expression in graft.
Objective To summarize the advancement of immune tolerance in pancreas transplantation.Methods Relevant literatures about immune tolerance in pancreas transplantation, which were published recently domestic and abroad were collected and reviewed. Results The main methods to induce immune tolerance are peripheral tolerance and central tolerance. The induction of chimerism by infusion of donor-specific bone marrow cells is the research hot spot recently. Conclusion The infusion of donor-specific bone marrow cells in combination with one or more peripheral tolerance maybe can induce immune tolerance successfully. However, it should be researched further.
ObjectiveTo explore the short-term efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. MethodsThe clinical data of 11 male patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent pembrolizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from December 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The average age of the patients was 52.0-79.0 (62.0±6.9) years. The imaging data and pathological changes before and after neoadjuvant treatment were compared, and adverse reactions during neoadjuvant treatment were recorded. Objective remission rate (ORR) and main pathological remission rate (MPR) and pathological complete remission rate (pCR) were the main observation endpoints. ResultsAfter preoperative neoadjuvant therapy with pembrolizumab combined with platinum or paclitaxel, all patients successfully underwent thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer. The ORR was 72.7%, and the MPR was 81.8%. Among them, 45.5% of patients achieved pCR. The main adverse reactions were hypoalbuminemia, decreased appetite and nausea. The mortality rate within 30 days after surgery was 0, and no tumor metastasis was observed. ConclusionPembrolizumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is safe and feasible to treat non-small cell lung cancer, and the short-term efficacy is beneficial.
Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the greatest threat to human health, and studies have shown that some genes play an important regulatory role in the occurrence and development of lung cancer. In this paper, a LightGBM ensemble learning method is proposed to construct a prognostic model based on immune relate gene (IRG) profile data and clinical data to predict the prognostic survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma patients. First, this method used the Limma package for differential gene expression, used CoxPH regression analysis to screen the IRG to prognosis, and then used XGBoost algorithm to score the importance of the IRG features. Finally, the LASSO regression analysis was used to select IRG that could be used to construct a prognostic model, and a total of 17 IRG features were obtained that could be used to construct model. LightGBM was trained according to the IRG screened. The K-means algorithm was used to divide the patients into three groups, and the area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of the model output showed that the accuracy of the model in predicting the survival rates of the three groups of patients was 96%, 98% and 96%, respectively. The experimental results show that the model proposed in this paper can divide patients with lung adenocarcinoma into three groups [5-year survival rate higher than 65% (group 1), lower than 65% but higher than 30% (group 2) and lower than 30% (group 3)] and can accurately predict the 5-year survival rate of lung adenocarcinoma patients.
ObjectiveTo review the research progress of the roles of inflammation and immune response in the formation of pathological scar. MethodsThe recent literature concerning the formation mechanism of pathological scar was extensively consulted, inflammation and immune response involved in the formation of pathological scar was reviewed. ResultsThe formation of pathological scar is associated with inflammation and immune response, some inflammatory factors will promote the activation of immune cells, then induce immune cells releasing cytokines and aggravate inflammatory response. However, inflammation response also affects the level of immune response. So they work together to promote the formation of pathological scar by the immuno-inflammatory cells and media. ConclusionThe formation of pathological scar is not only related to inflammation response, but also involves in immune response. Moreover, immune response is the new progress in the study of pathological scar mechanism in recent years. Further research of immuno-inflammatory response will provide new ideas and corresponding basis for the prevention of pathological scar.
