Methods Assay of human NK cells activities by dye reject ion assay in vitro and production of IL-2 in PBMNC by IL-2 bioassay with I L-2 dependent cell line CTLL2 and MTT colorometric method. Results GeM10 could significantly stimulate NK activities (60μg·mL -1 G eM10: 17.077±7.665, 120μg·mL -1 GeM10: 24.9±13.04; control: 7.72±4 .64, P< 0.05). GeM10 could up-regulate the production of IL-2 of PBMNCs in tumor patients(60μg·mL -1 GeM10: 2.965± 1.183; 120μg·mL -1 GeM10: 2.28±0.847; control: 1.792±0.823, P<0.05).Conclu si on The GeM10 not only can stimulate the NK activities but also increase the IL-2 production by PBMNCs in tumor patients. These findings indicate that the GeM10 may have promise as an anti-tumor drug and a biological response modi fier in clinic.展开更多

The substrate temperature (Ts) and In-doping effects on the properties of as-grown films are inves- tigated. The X-ray pattern confirms that the as-synthesized ZnO phase is grown along a (002) preferential plane. It is revealed that the crystalline structure is improved with a substrate temperature of 350 ℃ Moreover, the morphol- ogy of as-grown films, analyzed by AFM, shows nanostructures that have grown along the c-axis. The (3 ×3 μm2) area scanned AFM surface studies give the smooth film surface RMS 〈 40 nm. The UV-VIS-IR measurements reveal that the sprayed films are highly transparent in the visible and IR bands. The photoluminescence analysis shows that the strong blue and yellow luminescences of 2.11 and 2.81 eV are emitted from ZnO and IZO films with a slight shift in photon energy caused by In-doping. The band gap is a bit widened by In-doping, 3.21 eV (ZnO) and 3.31 eV (IZO) and the resistivity is reduced from 385 to 8Ω·m. An interesting result is the resistivity linear dependence on the substrate temperature of pure ZnO films.展开更多
