Methods: A total of 110 cases of elderly patients with esophageal cancer who underwent radical operation in this hospital between January 2015 and December 2017 were divided into the parenteral nutrition group (n=57) who received parenteral nutrition support and the enteral nutrition group (n=53) who received enteral nutrition support according to the postoperative nutrition intervention methods. The differences in anti-tumor immune response and inflammatory response degree were compared between the two groups of patients immediately after the patients returned to the ward (T0), 48h after nutritional support (T1) and 72h after nutritional support (T2). Results: At T0, there was no statistically significant difference in the contents of Th1/Th2 immune response and Th17/Treg immune response indexes as well as inflammatory mediators in serum between the two groups of patients. At T1 and T2, serum Th1 cytokines IFN-γ and IL-12 contents of enteral nutrition group were higher than those of parenteral nutrition group whereas Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 contents were lower than those of parenteral nutrition group;serum contents of Th17 cytokines IL-6 and IL-17 as well as Treg cytokines TGF-β and IL-10 were lower than those of parenteral nutrition group;serum inflammatory mediators hs-CRP, PGE and HMGB1 contents were lower than those of parenteral nutrition group. Conclusion: Postoperative early enteral nutrition support can effectively regulate the Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg immune response balance and inhibit the systemic inflammatory response in elderly patients with esophageal cancer.展开更多

Methods: Patients with advanced bladder cancer who received bladder infusion chemotherapy in the First People's Hospital of Ziyang between May 2014 and December 2016 were selected and divided into the control group without negative emotions, the anxiety group with anxiety, the depression group with depression and the anxiety depression group with both anxiety and depression according to the assessment results of HAMA scale and HAMD scale. The contents of tumor markers in serum, the contents of immune cells in peripheral blood and the expression of apoptosis genes in urine were detected during chemotherapy. Results: DKK-1, DKK-3, OPN and CYFRA21-1 contents in serum as well as PD-1+CD4+T cell, PD-1+CD8+T cell and B7-H1+CD11c+DC cell contents in peripheral blood of anxiety group, depression group and anxiety depression group were significantly higher than those of control group while DAP2IP, Fas, FasL, Caspase-8 and PTEN protein expression in urine were significantly lower than those of control group, and DKK-1, DKK-3, OPN and CYFRA21-1 contents in serum as well as PD-1+CD4+T cell, PD-1+CD8+T cell and B7-H1+CD11c+DC cell contents in peripheral blood of anxiety depression group were significantly higher than those of anxiety group and depression group while DAP2IP, Fas, FasL, Caspase-8 and PTEN protein expression in urine were significantly lower than those of anxiety group and depression group. Conclusion: The anxiety and depression in bladder cancer infusion chemotherapy can suppress the expression of apoptosis genes and the anti-tumor immune response to lead to more vigorous proliferation of cancer cells.展开更多

There are currently several drugs in clinical trials that specifically target amino acid metabolic pathways in tumor cells. In the context of the tumor microenvironment,however,tumor cells form metabolic relationships with immune cells,and they oftencompete for common nutrients. Many tumors evolved to escape immune surveillance by taking advantage of their metabolic flexibility and redirecting nutrients for their own advantage. This review outlines the most recent advances in targeting amino acid metabolic pathways in cancer therapy while giving consideration to the impact these pathways may have on the anti-tumor immune response.展开更多

However, it is unknown whether attenuated activated healthy autologous T-cell immunization could increase anti-tumor immune responses. To this end, C57B1/6 mice were immunized with attenuated activated autologous T cells. The splenocytes from immunized mice showed a higher proliferative ability than that from naive mice. The special phenotype analysis showed that there were more CD8+ T cells and CD62L+ T cells in immunized mice after 24 h of culture with 10% fetal calf serum complete medium in vitro (P〈0.01). These results demonstrated that this immunization may activate T cells in vivo. Furthermore, the splenocytes from immunized mice revealed resistance to activation-induced cell death (AICD) in vitro. To further study the relative genes that are responsible for the higher proliferation and resistance to AICD, the expression of Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) and GADD4513 was measured by real-time PCR. The results indicated that GADD45β transcription was higher in the splenocytes from immunized mice than that in the naive mice. In addition, the Fas expression showed a parallel higher, but FasL did not change obviously. To investigate the biologic functions induced by immunization in vivo, a tumor model was established by EL-4 tumor cell inoculation in C57/B1 mice. Mice receiving autologous T-cell immunization had significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo (P〈0.01). This study implicated that immunization with attenuated activated autologous T cells enhances anti-tumor immune responses that participate in tumor growth inhibition.展开更多

PDT involves systemic or topical administration of a photosensitizer(PS), followed by irradiation of the diseased area with light of a wavelength corresponding to an absorbance band of the PS. In the presence of oxygen, a photochemical reaction is initiated, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species and cell death. Besides causing direct cytotoxic effects on illuminated tumor cells, PDT is known to cause damage to the tumor vasculature and induce the release of pro-inflammatory molecules. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that PDT is capable of affecting both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Immune stimulatory properties of PDT may increase its beneficial effects giving the therapy wider potential to become more extensively used in clinical practice. Be-sides stimulating tumor-specific cytotoxic T-cells capable to destroy distant untreated tumor cells, PDT leads to development of anti-tumor memory immunity that can potentially prevent the recurrence of cancer. The immunological effects of PDT make the therapy more effective also when used for treatment of bacterial infections, due to an augmented infiltration of neutrophils into the infected regions that seems to potentiate the outcome of the treatment.展开更多

Methods:Fresh V.amygdalina leaves were collected within Nsukka area in Enugu State.The leaves were rinsed with distilled water.Two handful of cleaned fresh leaves were soaked in 200 mL water and squeezed gently by hand to a mixture.Clients were divided into four groups and each group was given different combination.They took the medication for four weeks.The immune effect was tested against marketed immune booster in some retroviral clients.Results:The mean absolute CD4 count was increased in the client who took the extract or supplement.And the clients who took both the extract and supplement had a greater increase in the CD4 count.The increased CD4 was significant as compared with the control group(P<0.05).The skin rashes were also improved in the entire groups.Conclusions:It can be concluded that the aqueous extract of V.amygdalina and immunace or both have immunological effect on HIV infected patients. Therefore,we suggest that the V.amygdalina extract or immunace or both could be used as adjuvant in the management of HIV/AIDS clients.展开更多

HN not only mediates receptor recognition but also possesses neuraminidase(NA) activity, which gives it the ability to cleave a component of those receptors, NAcneu. Previous studies have demonstrated that HN has interesting anti-neoplastic and immune-stimulating properties in mammalian species, including humans. To explore the application of the HN gene in cancer gene therapy, we constructed a Lewis lung carcinoma(LLC) solid tumor model using C57BL/6 mice. Mice were injected intratumorally with the recombinant adenovirus expressing HN gene(Ad-HN), and the effect of HN was explored by natural killer cell activity assay, cytotoxic lymphocyte activity assay, T cell subtype evaluation, and Th1/Th2 cytokines analysis. The results demonstrate that HN not only can elicit clonal expansion of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell populations and cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL) and killer cell response, but also skews the immune response toward Th1. Thus, vaccination with Ad-HN may be a potential strategy for cancer gene therapy.展开更多

Therefore, it is essential to study chicken immunology to maintain and improve its health and to find novel and sustainable solutions. This paper presents a study on investigation of the effect of Scutellaria baicalensis root(SBR) on the immune response of broiler chicken, especially on lymphocytes and heterophils reactivity, regarding their contribution to the development of immunity of the chickens.Methods: The 121-day-old Hubbard Hi-Y male broiler hybrids were randomly assigned to four treatment groups,three SBR supplemented groups(0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% of SBR) and one control group. Each treatment was replicated five times with six birds per replicate pen in a battery brooder. Blood was collected after 3-(rd) and 6-(th)wk of the experiment, and hemoglobin and hematocrit values were determined, as well as total leukocyte count and differential count were performed. Nitroblue tetrazolium test and phagocytosis assay as nonspecific immune parameters and humoral immune responses to the antigenic challenge by sheep red blood cells were performed.Moreover, the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes to form radial segmentation(RS) of their nuclei was analyzed.Body weight and relative weight of spleen, liver, and bursa of Fabricius were recorded.Results: Results showed that mean heterophile/lymphocyte ratio increased in the SBR groups compared to the control group and the blood of the chickens showed lymphocytic depletion. The results also demonstrated that the relative weight of bursa of Fabricius and spleen in groups fed with SBR significantly decreased compared to the control group. This study also showed that the addition of SBR significantly inhibited the formation of RS of nuclei compared to some cytotoxic substances.Conclusion: We found that SBR supplementation should be carefully evaluated when given to poultry. The excess intake of SBR supplementation may cause immunologic inhibition and may negatively affect the development of immune organs. SBR has inhibited the formation of radial segmentation nuclei showing antimetastatic properties and also the phagocytosis of chicken heterophils.展开更多

METHODS: Forty nude mice, inoculated subcutaneously human colon cancer cell line LoVo for 3 wk, were allocated randomly into four groups: B+E+ (ECT), B+E- (administration of bleomycin alone), B-E+ (administration of electric pulses alone), and B-E- (no treatment). Tumor volumes were measured daily. The animals were killed on the 7* d, the weights of xenografts were measured, and histologies of tumors were evaluated. Cytotoxicity of spleen natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells was then assessed by lactic dehydrogenase release assay. RESULTS: The mean tumor volume of group B+E+ was statistically different from the other three groups after the treatment (F= 36.80, P<0.01). There was one case of complete response, seven cases of partial response (PR) in group B+E+, one case of PR in group B+E- and group B-E+ respectively, and no response was observed in group B-E-. The difference of response between group B+E+ and the other three groups was statistically significant (X2 = 25.67,P<0.01). Histologically, extensive necrosis of tumor cells with considerable vascular damage and inflammatory cells infiltration were observed in group B+E+. There was no statistical difference between the cytotoxicity of NK and LAK cells in the four treatment groups. CONCLUSION: ECT significantly enhances the chemosensitivity and effects of chemotherapy in human colon cancer xenografts in nude mice, and could be a kind of novel treatment modality for human colon cancer. The generation of T-cell-dependent, tumor-specific immunity might be involved in the process of ECT.展开更多

This progress has come from the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies blocking ligand/receptor pairs with inhibitory effects for immune cells. Through this blockade immune checkpoint blockers are able to ac-tivate the immune system and create an anti-tumoral effect. A significant sub-set of patients with various types of cancers such as melanoma, lung carcinomas and urothelial cancers benefit from treatment with these drugs and survivals have improved in some ca-ses. However other cancers are primarily resistant to immune blockers and secondary resistance is also the norm. Radiation therapy is often used in the palliative treatment of patients with advanced cancers and, in addition to the local effect in the irradiated field, it may in rare cases produce a systemic antitumor effect, termed "abscopal". This effect has been suggested to be produced by immune mechanisms. Thus an opportunity presents for a synergistic effect of immune stimulation between radiation and immune blockade inhibitors. The therapeutic opportunities presented with the combination of radiation and these drugs for gastrointestinal cancers will be discussed in this editorial overview.展开更多

After an intravenousinjection of beaU--UO,F,, the spontaneous ’H--TdR incorporation in thymocytes andbone marrow cells decreased, with the thymocytes damaged more markedly. Theproliferation ability of spleen T and B lymphocytes were both inhibited, with Blymphocytes inhibited more severely. In spleen B lymphocytes the IL-- 1 production andIL--2 consumption were diminished. The inhibition of spleen B lymphocyteproliferation by 'U-- UOZFZ was partially restored by adding exogenous IL-- 1 or IL--2to the cultured lymphocytes obtained from 'U injected mice.展开更多

文摘Objective: To explore the effect of postoperative early enteral nutrition support on anti-tumor immune response and inflammatory response process in the elderly patients with esophageal cancer. Methods: A total of 110 cases of elderly patients with esophageal cancer who underwent radical operation in this hospital between January 2015 and December 2017 were divided into the parenteral nutrition group (n=57) who received parenteral nutrition support and the enteral nutrition group (n=53) who received enteral nutrition support according to the postoperative nutrition intervention methods. The differences in anti-tumor immune response and inflammatory response degree were compared between the two groups of patients immediately after the patients returned to the ward (T0), 48h after nutritional support (T1) and 72h after nutritional support (T2). Results: At T0, there was no statistically significant difference in the contents of Th1/Th2 immune response and Th17/Treg immune response indexes as well as inflammatory mediators in serum between the two groups of patients. At T1 and T2, serum Th1 cytokines IFN-γ and IL-12 contents of enteral nutrition group were higher than those of parenteral nutrition group whereas Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 contents were lower than those of parenteral nutrition group;serum contents of Th17 cytokines IL-6 and IL-17 as well as Treg cytokines TGF-β and IL-10 were lower than those of parenteral nutrition group;serum inflammatory mediators hs-CRP, PGE and HMGB1 contents were lower than those of parenteral nutrition group. Conclusion: Postoperative early enteral nutrition support can effectively regulate the Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg immune response balance and inhibit the systemic inflammatory response in elderly patients with esophageal cancer.

文摘Background:According to traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),drugs supplementing the vital energy,Qi,can eliminate tumors by restoring host immunity.The objective of this study is to investigate the underlying immune mechanisms of anti-tumor activity associated with Qi-supplementing herbs,specifically the paired use of Huangqi and Danggui.Methods:Analysis of compatibility regularity was conducted to screen the combination of Qi-supplementing TCMs.Using the MTT assay and a transplanted tumor mice model,the anti-tumor effects of combination TCMs were investigated in vitro and in vivo.High content analysis and flow cytometry were then used to evaluate cellular immunity,followed by network pharmacology and molecular docking to dissect the significant active compounds and potential mechanisms.Finally,the anti-tumor activity and the mechanism of the active ingredients were verified by molecular experiments.Results:There is an optimal combination of Huangqi and Danggui that,administered as an aqueous extract,can activate immunity to suppress tumor and is more effective than each drug on its own in vitro and in vivo.Based on network pharmacology analysis,PIK3R1 is the core target for the anti-tumor immunity activity of combined Huangqi and Danggui.Molecular docking analysis shows 6 components of the combined Danggui and Huangqi extract(quercetin,jaranol,isorhamnetin,kaempferol,calycosin,and suchilactone)that bind to PIK3R1.Jaranol is the most important component against breast cancer.The suchilactone/jaranol combination and,especially,the suchilactone/kaempferol combination are key for immunity enhancement and the anti-tumor effects of the extract.Conclusions:The combination of Huangqi and Danggui can activate immunity to suppress breast cancer and is more effective than the individual drugs alone.
文摘Recent advances in amino acid metabolism have revealed that targeting amino acid metabolic enzymes in cancer therapy is a promising strategy for the development of novel therapeutic agents. There are currently several drugs in clinical trials that specifically target amino acid metabolic pathways in tumor cells. In the context of the tumor microenvironment,however,tumor cells form metabolic relationships with immune cells,and they oftencompete for common nutrients. Many tumors evolved to escape immune surveillance by taking advantage of their metabolic flexibility and redirecting nutrients for their own advantage. This review outlines the most recent advances in targeting amino acid metabolic pathways in cancer therapy while giving consideration to the impact these pathways may have on the anti-tumor immune response.
文摘Immunization with inactivated autoreactive T cells may induce idiotype anti-idiotypic reactions to deplete autoreactive T cells, which are involved in autoimmune diseases. However, it is unknown whether attenuated activated healthy autologous T-cell immunization could increase anti-tumor immune responses. To this end, C57B1/6 mice were immunized with attenuated activated autologous T cells. The splenocytes from immunized mice showed a higher proliferative ability than that from naive mice. The special phenotype analysis showed that there were more CD8+ T cells and CD62L+ T cells in immunized mice after 24 h of culture with 10% fetal calf serum complete medium in vitro (P〈0.01). These results demonstrated that this immunization may activate T cells in vivo. Furthermore, the splenocytes from immunized mice revealed resistance to activation-induced cell death (AICD) in vitro. To further study the relative genes that are responsible for the higher proliferation and resistance to AICD, the expression of Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) and GADD4513 was measured by real-time PCR. The results indicated that GADD45β transcription was higher in the splenocytes from immunized mice than that in the naive mice. In addition, the Fas expression showed a parallel higher, but FasL did not change obviously. To investigate the biologic functions induced by immunization in vivo, a tumor model was established by EL-4 tumor cell inoculation in C57/B1 mice. Mice receiving autologous T-cell immunization had significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo (P〈0.01). This study implicated that immunization with attenuated activated autologous T cells enhances anti-tumor immune responses that participate in tumor growth inhibition.

文摘Photodynamic therapy(PDT) is a clinically approved procedure for treatment of cancer and infections. PDT involves systemic or topical administration of a photosensitizer(PS), followed by irradiation of the diseased area with light of a wavelength corresponding to an absorbance band of the PS. In the presence of oxygen, a photochemical reaction is initiated, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species and cell death. Besides causing direct cytotoxic effects on illuminated tumor cells, PDT is known to cause damage to the tumor vasculature and induce the release of pro-inflammatory molecules. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that PDT is capable of affecting both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Immune stimulatory properties of PDT may increase its beneficial effects giving the therapy wider potential to become more extensively used in clinical practice. Be-sides stimulating tumor-specific cytotoxic T-cells capable to destroy distant untreated tumor cells, PDT leads to development of anti-tumor memory immunity that can potentially prevent the recurrence of cancer. The immunological effects of PDT make the therapy more effective also when used for treatment of bacterial infections, due to an augmented infiltration of neutrophils into the infected regions that seems to potentiate the outcome of the treatment.

文摘Hemagglutinin-neuramidinase(HN) is one of the most important surface structure proteins of the Newcastle disease virus(NDV). HN not only mediates receptor recognition but also possesses neuraminidase(NA) activity, which gives it the ability to cleave a component of those receptors, NAcneu. Previous studies have demonstrated that HN has interesting anti-neoplastic and immune-stimulating properties in mammalian species, including humans. To explore the application of the HN gene in cancer gene therapy, we constructed a Lewis lung carcinoma(LLC) solid tumor model using C57BL/6 mice. Mice were injected intratumorally with the recombinant adenovirus expressing HN gene(Ad-HN), and the effect of HN was explored by natural killer cell activity assay, cytotoxic lymphocyte activity assay, T cell subtype evaluation, and Th1/Th2 cytokines analysis. The results demonstrate that HN not only can elicit clonal expansion of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell populations and cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL) and killer cell response, but also skews the immune response toward Th1. Thus, vaccination with Ad-HN may be a potential strategy for cancer gene therapy.

文摘Background: The health of chickens and the welfare of poultry industry are central to the efforts of addressing global food security. Therefore, it is essential to study chicken immunology to maintain and improve its health and to find novel and sustainable solutions. This paper presents a study on investigation of the effect of Scutellaria baicalensis root(SBR) on the immune response of broiler chicken, especially on lymphocytes and heterophils reactivity, regarding their contribution to the development of immunity of the chickens.Methods: The 121-day-old Hubbard Hi-Y male broiler hybrids were randomly assigned to four treatment groups,three SBR supplemented groups(0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% of SBR) and one control group. Each treatment was replicated five times with six birds per replicate pen in a battery brooder. Blood was collected after 3-(rd) and 6-(th)wk of the experiment, and hemoglobin and hematocrit values were determined, as well as total leukocyte count and differential count were performed. Nitroblue tetrazolium test and phagocytosis assay as nonspecific immune parameters and humoral immune responses to the antigenic challenge by sheep red blood cells were performed.Moreover, the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes to form radial segmentation(RS) of their nuclei was analyzed.Body weight and relative weight of spleen, liver, and bursa of Fabricius were recorded.Results: Results showed that mean heterophile/lymphocyte ratio increased in the SBR groups compared to the control group and the blood of the chickens showed lymphocytic depletion. The results also demonstrated that the relative weight of bursa of Fabricius and spleen in groups fed with SBR significantly decreased compared to the control group. This study also showed that the addition of SBR significantly inhibited the formation of RS of nuclei compared to some cytotoxic substances.Conclusion: We found that SBR supplementation should be carefully evaluated when given to poultry. The excess intake of SBR supplementation may cause immunologic inhibition and may negatively affect the development of immune organs. SBR has inhibited the formation of radial segmentation nuclei showing antimetastatic properties and also the phagocytosis of chicken heterophils.

文摘[Objectives]To explore the effect of total flavonoids from Phyllanthus emblica L.on tumor proliferation and immune function.[Methods]The effects of total flavonoids of P.emblica L.on the proliferation of 6 different tumor cell lines(human hepatoma cell line HepG-2,human cervical cancer cell line Hela,human gastric cancer cell line SGC7901,human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2,human lung cancer cell line H460 and human ovarian cancer cell line A2780)were compared by SRB method.The effect of total flavonoids from P.emblica L.on the proliferation of mouse lymphocytes induced by concanavalin(ConA)or lipopolysaccharide(LPS)in vitro was detected by CCK-8 method.[Results]The results of SRB assay showed that compared with the normal group,the total flavonoids of P.emblica L.had obvious inhibitory effect on 6 kinds of tumor cells.Among them,the inhibitory effect on H460 cells and CNE-2 cells was the most significant,and the IC50 was(471.36±50.66),(463.26±40.75)μg/mL,respectively.The high dose group of total flavonoids from P.emblica L.had the same inhibitory effect as the positive drug 5-Fu.The results of CCK-8 assay showed that compared with the blank group,the total flavonoids of P.emblica L.significantly inhibited the proliferation of mouse lymphocytes induced by ConA or LPS(*P<0.05,**P<0.01).[Conclusions]The total flavonoids of P.emblica L.had significant anti-tumor activity.
文摘Immune checkpoint inhibitors(and more specifically programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 inhibitors as Pembrolizumab)initiated a revolution in the field of melanoma and have now expanded to several tumor subtypes and in increasingly broader clinical contexts,including the adjuvant and neoadjuvant setting,with potentially curable patients and prolonged survival.The side effects related to these drugs include a wide spectrum of manifestations,with endocrinological adverse events being some of the most frequent.Pembrolizumab-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus is an infrequent but potentially serious and not clearly reversible side effect that possesses characteristic clinical features and has high morbidity and mortality,with a chronic impact on quality of life.The etiopathogenesis of this phenomenom needs to be further investigated and a collaborative effort through the involvement of oncologists and other medical specialists is necessary for the correct identification and management of patients at risk.

文摘AIM: To evaluate the anti-tumor effects and possible involvement of anti-tumor immunity of electrochemotherapy (ECT) employing electroporation and bleomycin in human colon cancer xenografts in nude mice, and to establish the experimental basis for clinical application of ECT. METHODS: Forty nude mice, inoculated subcutaneously human colon cancer cell line LoVo for 3 wk, were allocated randomly into four groups: B+E+ (ECT), B+E- (administration of bleomycin alone), B-E+ (administration of electric pulses alone), and B-E- (no treatment). Tumor volumes were measured daily. The animals were killed on the 7* d, the weights of xenografts were measured, and histologies of tumors were evaluated. Cytotoxicity of spleen natural killer (NK) and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells was then assessed by lactic dehydrogenase release assay. RESULTS: The mean tumor volume of group B+E+ was statistically different from the other three groups after the treatment (F= 36.80, P<0.01). There was one case of complete response, seven cases of partial response (PR) in group B+E+, one case of PR in group B+E- and group B-E+ respectively, and no response was observed in group B-E-. The difference of response between group B+E+ and the other three groups was statistically significant (X2 = 25.67,P<0.01). Histologically, extensive necrosis of tumor cells with considerable vascular damage and inflammatory cells infiltration were observed in group B+E+. There was no statistical difference between the cytotoxicity of NK and LAK cells in the four treatment groups. CONCLUSION: ECT significantly enhances the chemosensitivity and effects of chemotherapy in human colon cancer xenografts in nude mice, and could be a kind of novel treatment modality for human colon cancer. The generation of T-cell-dependent, tumor-specific immunity might be involved in the process of ECT.

文摘[Objective] This paper aimed to observe the effects of Qishen ultrafine powder on immune efficacy of infectious bursal disease vaccine in chickens. [ Method] 360 1-day-old chickens were randomly divided into six groups equally, and group I -V were vaccinated with IBD live virus vaccine on the 21 th and 35th day, respectively. From 14th to 21th day, group I - Ⅲ were added with 1%, 0.5% of Qishen ultrafine powder and 2% of Qishan powder in basel diet, respectively, group IV was given Yupingfeng oral liquid and group VI was as a control group without vaccination. Be- fore the expedment (14-day-old chickens as DO ) and 7 ( D7 ), 14 ( D14 ), 21 ( D21 ), 28 ( D26 ), 35 ( D36 ), 42 ( D42 ) days after the experiment, the dynamic change of serum IBD specific antibody was determined, respectively. On D7, D21 and D36, the dynamic change of peripheral T lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 in serum were determined, respectively. The weight change was also observed. [Results] Compared with the immune control group, the immune effects of IBD vaccine of each administration group were significantly improved, and there was no significant difference between each other. [ Condusion] Qishen ultrafine powder could increase immune function of chickens at lower dosage.
文摘The field of tumor immunology has produced in the recent years a revolution in cancer therapeutics putting an end in the long lasting frustration of investigators in the area stemming from largely unsuccessful strides to develop cancer vaccines. This progress has come from the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies blocking ligand/receptor pairs with inhibitory effects for immune cells. Through this blockade immune checkpoint blockers are able to ac-tivate the immune system and create an anti-tumoral effect. A significant sub-set of patients with various types of cancers such as melanoma, lung carcinomas and urothelial cancers benefit from treatment with these drugs and survivals have improved in some ca-ses. However other cancers are primarily resistant to immune blockers and secondary resistance is also the norm. Radiation therapy is often used in the palliative treatment of patients with advanced cancers and, in addition to the local effect in the irradiated field, it may in rare cases produce a systemic antitumor effect, termed "abscopal". This effect has been suggested to be produced by immune mechanisms. Thus an opportunity presents for a synergistic effect of immune stimulation between radiation and immune blockade inhibitors. The therapeutic opportunities presented with the combination of radiation and these drugs for gastrointestinal cancers will be discussed in this editorial overview.
文摘Accumulation of enriched 235U-UO2F2 in the body had injurious effects on theimmune function of central and peripheral immune cells. After an intravenousinjection of beaU--UO,F,, the spontaneous ’H--TdR incorporation in thymocytes andbone marrow cells decreased, with the thymocytes damaged more markedly. Theproliferation ability of spleen T and B lymphocytes were both inhibited, with Blymphocytes inhibited more severely. In spleen B lymphocytes the IL-- 1 production andIL--2 consumption were diminished. The inhibition of spleen B lymphocyteproliferation by 'U-- UOZFZ was partially restored by adding exogenous IL-- 1 or IL--2to the cultured lymphocytes obtained from 'U injected mice.
文摘Objective:To study the effect of nutritional support + intravenous chemotherapy on anti-tumor immunity and cancer cell proliferation in patients with colon cancer complicated by incomplete intestinal obstruction.Methods: Patients with colon cancer complicated by incomplete intestinal obstruction who were treated in Midi Branch, Pangang Group General Hospital between March 2015 and October 2017 were selected and randomly divided into the nutrition group who accepted nutritional support + FOLFOX4 intravenous chemotherapy and the control group who accepted FOLFOX4 intravenous chemotherapy alone, and they underwent surgery after two cycles of chemotherapy. The contents of immune cells in peripheral blood and the contents of immune cytokines in serum were determined before chemotherapy and two cycles after chemotherapy;the expression levels of proliferation genes in colon cancer lesions were determined after surgical resection.Results:Compared with those of same group before chemotherapy, peripheral blood Treg, Th9, Th17 and Th22 contents as well as serum IL-4, IL-9, IL-10, TGF-β1, IL-17 and IL-22 contents of nutrition group were decreased significantly after chemotherapywhereas peripheral blood Treg, Th9, Th17 and Th22 contents as well as serum IL-4, IL-9, IL-10, TGF-β1, IL-17 and IL-22 contents of control group did not change significantly after chemotherapy, and compared with those after chemotherapy between groups, peripheral blood Treg, Th9, Th17 and Th22 contents as well as serum IL-4, IL-9, IL-10, TGF-β1, IL-17 and IL-22 contents of nutrition group were significantly lower than those of control group, and CyclinD1, Bcl-2, USP22, VEGF and N-cadherin mRNA expression were not different from those of control group.Conclusion:Nutritional support + intravenous chemotherapy can improve the anti-tumor immune response without affecting the proliferation of cancer cells in the lesion of patients with colon cancer complicated by incomplete intestinal obstruction.
