ObjectiveTo understand the interplay between tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and T lymphocytes, as well as the effect on the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) again, so that providing new ideas and methods for the immunotherapy of HCC.MethodSearched the literatures about the interplay between TAMs and T lymphocytes in HCC to analyze and summarize the relationship between TAMs and T lymphocytes in HCC.ResultsWhile TAMs and T lymphocytes themselves regulate the process of tumorigenesis and development, they also had a mutual regulatory mechanism to further promote the development of HCC.ConclusionsThere is an interaction between TAMs and T lymphocytes, and this interaction forms a vicious circle to a large extent and promotes the development of HCC. Recognizing and making rational use of this interaction can provide new ideas and methods for the future immunotherapy of HCC.
To study the effect of microgravity on peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) in rats, tail-suspended rats were applied to simulate microgravity environment. SpO2 and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) were measured by pulse oximeter and arterial blood gas analyzer (ABGA) respectively on the 14th day, 21st day and 28th day in tail-suspended group and control group. Paired t-test shows that SpO2 was significantly lower than SaO2 in tail-suspended group on the 14th day (P < 0.05), the 21st day ( P < 0.05) and the 28th day ( P < 0.01). The ANOVA results shows that modeling time had significant effect on SpO 2 value but no effect on SaO2 value in tail-suspended group. These results indicate that pulse oximeter may be not suitable for oxygen saturation test in microgravity environment.
