ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effect of Pidotimod and Thalidomid to enhance the immune response and protective immunity induced by the epitope Vaccines From W2b2a of Toxoplasma gondii in mice.Methods:Mice were immunized intramuscularly with Pidotimod and pcDNA3-W2b2a,thalidomide and pcDNA3-W2b2a,respectively,then the immune response and the survival time of mouse attacked by Toxoplasma gondii were observed.Results:After the immunization,the level of IFN-γin sera of mice inculated with pcDNA3-W2b2a and Pidotimod,pcDNA3-W2b2a and Freund adjuvant,pcDNA3-W2b2a and Thalidomid were significantly higher than pcDNA3-W2b2a (all P<0.05).After the immunization,IgG,CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio ,proliferation of T cell induced by pcDNA3-W2b2a and Pidotimod,pcDNA3-W2b2a and Freund adjuvant were higher than pcDNA3-W2b2a,pcDNA3-W2b2a and thalidomid ( all P<0.05).After challenged with highly virulent tachyzoites,the mean survival time in immunized groups were significantly longer than control group (all P<0.05).Conclusion:Pidotimod ,Thalidomid adjuvant can increase protective immunity of epitope Vaccines From W2b2a of Toxoplasma gondii in mice.
ABSTRACT
Purpose:To investigate the expression of oncogene survivin,c-erbB-2 in breast cancer and its prognostic significance.Methods:Detect the expression of survivin,c-erbB-2 in 80 case breast cancer tissues by immunohistochemistry S-P method,analyze its correlation with axillary lymph node metastasis and 5-year disease free survival(DFS).Results:Survivin gene positive expression rate was 68.75%(55/80),c-erbB-2 gene positive expression rate was 36.25%(29/80) in breast cancer tissues,all have positive correlation with the axillary lymph nodes metastasis but negative to 5 years DFS(P0.05);survivin and c-erbB-2 genes expression have positive correlation(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of oncogene survivin,p53 in breast cancer and its ~prognostic significance. Methods The expression of survivin,p53 in breast cancer tissues of 80 cases were detected by immunohistochemistry S-P method, and its correlation with axillary lymph node metastasis and ~5-year disease free survival (DFS) was analysed.Results In breast cancer tissues,survivin gene positive ~expression rate was 68.75%(55/80), p53 gene positive expression rate was 46.25%(37/80), and both had a positive correlation with axillary lymph node metastasis but negative correlation to 5 years DFS(P0.05);survivin and p53 genes expression have positive corrlation(P
ABSTRACT
The hypnozoites of different isolates of P. vivax from Shenzhen and Shixin, Guangdong Province, Changsha, Hunan Province and Yincheng, Hubei Province of China in cultured materials were observed employing immunoperoxidase staining method. The percentages of hypnozoites among exoerythrocytic stages were 40.1, 43. 5, 50. 6 and 57. 1 %, respectively,indicating that the percentage of hypnozoites and the latitude are in positive correlation. The equation is y= - 6. 68+ 2. 05x. When the dlfference in latitude of Plasmodium vivax isolate source was more than 5?, a significant difference in the percentage of hypnozoites in various geographic isolates was found. However, the average diameters of hypnozoites and schizonts among various geographic isolates showed no significant difference. The results showed that ln the regions north to the Yangtze Rlver, the proportion of hypnozoite in the liver stage of P.vivax was larger than those in the southern China, being consistent with the clinical manifestations.
