  • Diagnostic Value of ELISA Using Antigen B in Cystic Echinococcosis: A Meta-Analysis

    Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of ELISA using AgB in cystic echinococcosis (CE). Methods Such databases as PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and MedaLink were retrieved on computer, and the relevant journals were also manually searched to collect the trials on ELISA using AgB in diagnosis of CE. The retrieval time was from inception to July 5th, 2012. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted the data and assessed the quality according to QUADAS. Then the meta-analysis was conducted by using Meta-Disc 1.4 software. Results A total of 8 studies were included, and there were 562 CE patients diagnosed by gold standard, 434 suspected cases and 303 healthy people. There were no threshold effects among those 8 studies (the spearman’s correlation coefficient of log sensitivity to log 1-specificity was 0.527, P=0.400 1). The meta-analysis of DerSimonia-Laird showed that, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio and diagnostic odds ratio was 0.76 (95%CI 0.73 to 0.79), 0.84 (95%CI 0.82 to 0.86), 5.20 (95%CI 3.59 to 7.55), 0.26 (95%CI 0.18 to 0.35), 23.93 (95%CI 12.35 to 46.39), respectively. And the AUC of SROC was 0.889 7 (Q=0.820 4). Conclusion ELISA using natural AgB and rAgB has greater diagnostic value in detecting CE.

  • EXPRESSION OF TUMOR-RELATED ANTIGEN IN RECTAL CANCER AND MUCOSA REMOTE FROM CARCINOMA

    The expression of T antigen in rectal cancer and mucosa remote from carcinoma by immunohistochemistry was investigated. Mucin protein was also examined by HID-AB staining. The results showed that the expression of T antigen in rectal cancer was much ber than those in 10cm mucosa remote from carcinoma and no significant difference as compared with 5cm mucosa. The sialomucin reactions in 5cm and 10cm mucosa remote from carcinoma were 45% and 20% respectively. The coincident sialomucin positive reaction and expression of T antigen were found in 40% 5cm remote mucosa .There is significant correlation between them (P<0.05). The authors conclude that the expression of tumorrelated antigen and change of mucin protein in remote mucosa without malignant invasion may suggest the malignant potential of the mucosa. Further investigations should be performed into the effect of these changes on the local recurrence after redical resection of rectal cancer.

  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON UMBILICAL VASCULAR COMPLIANCE AND EXPRESSION OFANTIGEN AFTER REMOVING ENDOTHELIAL CELL

    Objective To evaluate which is better method zymogen or low temperature frozen in removing vascular endothelial cell so as to lay a foundation for creating a kind of brace which is not to be rejected and the same as own blood vessel. Methods Fresh and not damaged umbilical blood vessel was collected from natural labour women, human umbilical blood vessel was remove carefully from normal foetus, then was put into disinfectant at 37℃ for 24 hours. They were divided into 3 groups:normal group(NG),zymogen group(ZG) and low temperature frozen group(LG). ZG: 0.1% collagenⅡ enzyme was addedin umbilical blood vessel and closed the both sides and the vascular endothelialcell was removed in 37℃ water. LG:Umbilical blood vessel was put into liquidnitrogen for 24 hours after frozened step by step, and then it was put into 37℃ water for 30-60 s and the vascular endothelial cells were washed away by normal saline. NG:Umbilical blood vessel was kept into 4℃ Kerb’s liquid. The bacteria were culturedin each group. The samples were stained by HE,elastic fiber and collagen fiberwere observed by light and scanning electron microscope. The difference of compliance was compared. Human leukocyte antigen ABC(HLA-ABC) and HLA-DR were observed by immunohistochemical method and the expression of antigen of umbilical blood vessel was analysed. Results In LG, umbilical vascular endothelial cells were removed completely; artery showed vertical smooth muscle and vein showed elastic membrane. InZG, umbilical vascular endothelial cells were removed completely after 20 minutes;artery showed vertical smooth muscle cells and vein showed lower endothelial layer. The vascular compliance in LG was higher than that in NG, and the latter was also higher than that in ZG,but showing no significant differences (Pgt;0.05). The compliance of umbilical vein was 2-3 times as much asthat of umbilical artery.The expression of HLA-ABC and HLA-DR in LG andZG were lower than that in NG, showing significant differences (Plt;0.01). Conclusion Low temperature frozen methodand zymogen method(0.1% collagen Ⅱ enzyme for 20 min) can remove vascular endothelial cells of human umbilical blood vessel completely.Low temperature frozenmethod was better than zymogen method.

  • DEGRADATION OF ANTIGENEXTRACTED MENISCUS IN VITRO

    Objective To study degradation of the antigen-extracted meniscus in PBS solution with no enzyme or with different enzymes. Methods Four types of enzymes (collagenase, hyaluronidase, trypsin, papain) were used to enzymolyze the antigen-extracted meniscus and the fresh meniscus for 3, 7, 15 and 30 days (37℃). The antigenextracted meniscus and the fresh meniscus were immersed in PBS solution (37℃) for 30 days. Weight loss measurement, UV spectrophotometry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the degraded materials. Results The two types of the materials were remarkably digested under the enzymes, especially under trypsin. The degradation curves showed that the antigen-extracted meniscus was enzymolyzed less than the fresh meniscus. The degradation products were grouped as amino, peptide, and polyose by the analysis. Both of the materials could hardly behydrolyzed in PBS solution without the enzymes. The four different enzymes had different surface morphologies under the examination of SEM. Conclusion The antigen-extracted meniscus is enzymolyzed more slowly than the fresh meniscus in vitro, and the result can be used as a guideline to the further research.

  • ALLOGRAFT ANTIGENICITY OF HUMAN EAR CARTILAGE AND EFFECT OF CELL EXTRACTION ON ANTIGENICITY

    OBJECTIVE: To study the allograft antigenicity of human ear cartilage and the effect of the cell extraction on antigenicity. METHODS: The human ear cartilage was acellular by cell extraction with Triton X-100. Then the cartilage and the acellular cartilage were analyzed by anti-MHC-I immunohistochemical staining, the reaction of the peripheral blood mononuclear(PBM) cells to the cartilage and the acellular cartilage and the migration of the PBM cells toward the cartilage and the acellular cartilage. RESULTS: The result of human ear cartilage was positive for the anti-MHC-I immunohistochemical staining, whereas that of the acellular cartilage was negative for the staining. The reactive proliferation of the PBM cells was more when they were co-cultured with human ear cartilage than that when they were cultured alone in vitro(P lt; 0.05), but the acellular cartilage did not show the same phenomena (P gt; 0.05); when the cartilage and the acellular cartilage were co-cultured with the PBM cells, the PBM cells migrated to the cartilage much more than that to acellular cartilage(P lt; 0.01). CONCLUSION: Human ear cartilage has allograft antigenicity and its antigenicity can be removed by cell extraction with Triton X-100.

  • REACTIVITY OF TISSUES OF CHINESE NJZ PIG TO HUMAN SERUM

    Insufficient supply of organ for allotransplantation made the study on finding new organ resources from animal progress. Pig is regarded as one of the optimal donor animals for human. The major obstacle in this field is hyperacute reaction (HAR), which is triggered after the xenogenic natural antibodies preexisting in recipient blood combine to the antigens on the surface of the endothelium and activate the complement system. alpha-Galactose residues (alpha-Gal) on the endothelial cell have been identified as the major xenoantigens. NJZ Pig has been closely breed since 1938, whose family history is clear. Tissue samples from heart, liver, kidney, pancreas, lung, small intestine, skin, spleen, thymus and lymph node were obtained and embedded in paraffin. The sections were performed the immunohistochemical staining with the sera from health volunteers (including all the blood types) as the primary antibodies as well as the biotin labeled bandeirae simplicifolia I isolectin B4 (BS I-B4), which has specific affinity to alpha-galactose. All the staining sections were compared with the tissues digested with alpha-galactosidase. There was no difference between the antigens recognized by sera of different blood types. alpha-Gal was still the major xenoantigen on the endothelial cells. There might exist non-alpha-Gal antigens on the distal convoluted tubules and collecting tubules of the kidney. There was no alpha-Gal distributing on the secreting part of pancreas, either the islet cells or the matrix cells, but surely on pancreatic duct and vessels. All the antigenity was destroyed after the enzyme digestion except that the small intestine gland still positive with the BS I-B4. alpha-Gal is the major xenogenic antigen in NJZ Pigs. There exist some unknown antigens on the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the kidney. The blood type of recipient is not the first affair to be considered in pig-to-human xenotransplantation. The specificity of BS I-B4 for the alpha-galactose needs more detail research.
