RESUMEN
Objectiveï¼To investigate the promotive effect of dendritic cells(DCs) on proliferation of CRTH2 (CD4(+)CD294(+)Th2) cells and the influence of CRTH2 cells on secretion of immunoglobulin from B cells so as to provide a new approach for amplification and sorting of Th2 cells. Methodsï¼DCs were induced from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, then the loaded-BCGV-Ag-DCs were cocultured with T cells, and the mixed lymphocyte reaction(MLR) was performed by CCK8 method. The phenotypes of DCs and CRTH2 cells were detected by flow cytometry. CRTH2 cells sorted by MACS were co-cultured with B cells for 5 days to detect the secretion of immunoglobulin. Resultsï¼The subsets and absolute number CRTH2 cells were significantly increased by loaded-BCGV-Ag-DCs. The levels of IgG, IgA and IgE were higher increased in supernatant of CRTH2 and B cell co-culture system than that in control group or that in transwell group(P<0.05). Conclusionï¼The proliferation of CRTH2 cells can be greatly promoted by loaded-BCGV-Ag-DCs, and the CRTH2 cells can help B cells to secrete IgG, IgA and IgE.

AIM:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the bioartificial liver support system in canines with acute liver failure (ALF).METHODS:Nine canines with acute liver failure by acetaminophen-induced received TECA-I bioartificial liver support system (BALSS) from Hong Kong TECA LTD Co. Blood was perfused through a hollow fiber tube containing (1-2)X10(10) the porcine hepatocytes.In contrast, another 10 canines with acute liver failure by Acetaminophen received drugs. Each treatment lasted 6 hours.RESULTS:BALSS treatment resulted in beneficial effects for acetaminophen-induced ALF canines with survival and with the recovery of the liver functions and tissues, and plasma ammonia decreased from 135.9&mgr;mol/L plus minus 17.5&mgr;mol/L to 65.7&mgr;mol/L plus minus 22.0&mgr;mol/L, 32.5&mgr;mol/L plus minus 8.8&mgr;mol/L, GPT from 97.8U/L plus minus 8.7U/L to 64.8U/L plus minus 11.9U/L, 19.0U/L plus minus 6.3U/L, GOT from 103.0U/L plus minus 16.7U/L to 75.7U/L plus minus 19.6U/L, 26.5U/L plus minus 5.0U/L, and AKP from 158.3U/L plus minus 12.1U/L to 114.5U/L plus minus 19.8U/L, 43.8U/L plus minus 5.6U/L during and after the treatment. In contrast, 10 ALF canines in both the drug and control groups died 1 or 2 days after treatment.CONCLUSION: TECA-1 artificial liver support system is safe and efficacious for canines with acute liver failure.
