Methods: The expression of Fas, FasL and CD80 was detected on WEHI-3 cell surface by flow cytometry. Simultaneously the function of FasL was determined by Thymidine (^3H-TdR) Incorporation. Results: The expression of CD80 and Fas on WEHI-3 cell surface was 5.06%±0.41% and 6.75%±2.31% (n=5) respectively, and the expression of FasL was up to 63.73%±5.23% (n=5). The apoptotic rate of YAC-1 cells was 26%±4.5%, 35%±3.2% and 43%±2.7% (n=5) respectively when WEHI-3 (effector cell, E) and Fas^+ YAC-1 cells (target cell, T) were cultured in the ratio of 3:1, 10:1 and 30:1. Conclusion: WEHI-3 cells express high FasL, low Fas and CD80, and can induce apoptosis of Fas^+ YAC-1 cells.展开更多

At the time of diagnosis the patient's virologic markers were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antibody to hepatitis B e antigen (anti-HBe) and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc), while antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) and HBV DNA were negative. Later the patient received chemotherapy for malignancy. However, this was interrupted due to elevated liver enzymes. At the same time HBV DNA became positive. Lamivudine (LMV) therapy was administered immediately. However, the levels of serum aminotransferase and total bilirubin (TB) were still rising. Finally the patient died of fulminant hepatic failure. A sequence revealed HBV genotype C (HBsAg subtype adw) with immune escape mutations, F8L, $34L, F41S, G44V, F93C, V96G, Lll0I, C149Y and F161Y. The high morbidity and mortality of this complication is one of the major obstacles to completing the standard treatment for malignancy in HBV carriers. Therefore, the relative risk of antiviral prophylactic failure should be further assessed and the optimal strategy for antiviral prophylaxis in HBsAg-positive patients with oncologic and hematologic malignancies undergoing chemotherapy should be revised.展开更多
