ABSTRACT
Objective To study the levels of antibodies against bordetella pertussis among pregnant women and neonates in Beijing. Method From December 2016 to March 2017, pregnant women and their newborns from three women and children′s hospitals in Beijing were enrolled in this study. 3 ml of venous blood from the mothers and 3 ml of umbilical cord blood from neonates were drawn.Pertussis bacillus IgG antibody (PER-IgG) and pertussis toxin IgG antibody (PT-IgG) were tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. χ2 test was used to compare the positive rate of pertussis IgG antibodies in maternal and cord blood in the three hospitals. Correlational analyses of the antibodies levels in each hospital were conducted. The demographic characteristics, history of cough during pregnancy and history of DTaP vaccination of the mothers were collected via questionnaires. Result A total of 612 pairs of venous blood and cord blood samples were collected, including 4 mothers delivered twins and 616 cases of cord blood sample were collected. No history of pertussis were found in the 612 mothers. Among the 616 cases of umbilical cord blood, positive rate of PER-IgG was 13.3％ (82/616), positive rate of PT-IgG was 0.5％ (3/616). Among 612 cases of venous blood from the mothers, positive rate of PER-IgG was 7.7％ (47/612), positive rate of PT-IgG was 0.3％ (2/612). Positive rates of PER-IgG and PT-IgG in the mothers′ venous blood were not correlated with their residences (P=0.676 and 0.544). Positive rates of PER-IgG (r=0.842, P<0.001) and PT-IgG (r=0.619, P<0.001) in the mothers′ blood were positively correlated with the positive rate in umbilical cord blood. Conclusion This study shows that the positive rate of PER-IgG is very low in the maternal and umbilical cord blood in Beijing. Positive correlations of PER-IgG and PT-IgG between mother and umbilical cord blood were existed. Most mothers and their newborns do not have enough protection against pertussis.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The central position of dendritic cells (DCs) has aroused increasing attention due to strong antigen presentation capability in anti-tumor. However, how to obtain enough functional DCs and reports regarding immunomodulator with low toxicity are few. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of mycobacterium phlei F.U.36 (Utilins) on the proliferation and maturity of DCs derived from human umbilical cord blood in vitro.METHODS: The mononuclear cells were isolated from human umbilical cord blood using Ficoll-Hypaque method and cultured with Utilins, cytokine (human recombinant granulocyte/macrophage colonystimulating factor + recombinant human tumor necrosisfactor-α + recombinant human interleukin-4), or combination cytokine + Utilins, respectively. In addition, cells cultured with RPMI-1640 served as controls. Morphological features and growth of DCs were observed by an inverted microscope. Thephenotype changes of DCs, such CD1a and HLA-DR, were detected by flow cytometry at 9 days after culture. Moreover, DCs were stained by Wright-Giemsa and observed under oil lens. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Typical DCs with high expressions of CD1a and HLA-DR were obviously detected in all experimental groups except the control group. The positive rates of CD1a and HLA-DR in the Utilins group were higher than those in the control group, but lower than the cytokine group (P < 0.05). The HLA-DR positive rate of the combination group was higher than that of the cytokine group (P < 0.05). The results revealed that, Utilins can not only promote the proliferation of DCs derived from human umbilical cord blood in vitro but also cooperate with cytokines to induce the maturity of DCs.

ABSTRACT
Objective :To study the effects of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and human leukocyte antigen (HAL-DR) on the immunopathologic process of uveitis. Methods:Imn- munohistochemical techniques were applied to detect their expression in eyes of both the health (20 cases from eye bank) and patients with uveitis (54 cases with 54 eyes which included 33 ex- ogenous uveitis and 21 endogenous one). Results:Both the two ant igens were detectable in the choroidal and retinal tissues in eyes of uveitis while all the normal eyes showed negative expres- sion of ICAM-1 and negative or little expression of HLA-DR (P＜0. 01). However,there was no statistically significant difference between exogenous and endogenous types (P＞0. 05). Conclu- sion: Both ICAM-1 and HLA-DR may be responsible for cell recognition and binding in the in- flarnmatory tissues. The co-expression of ICAM-1 and HAL-DR showed that these two factors might play an important role in the immunologic damage of the choroid and retina in uveitis.
