简介:目的应用流式细胞技术探讨面神经损伤急性期T细胞功能状态及其病理生理意义,为揭示外伤性面瘫的神经免疫机制提供理论依据。方法制备面神经轴切损伤模型小鼠,分别于损伤后3天、2周分离小鼠肠系膜淋巴结(mesentericlymphnode,MLN)、术侧颈部引流淋巴结(cervicaldraininglymphnode,CDLN)细胞,进行双色免疫荧光标记。以流式细胞术分析T细胞上CD69分子的表达情况。结果手术后3天,面神经损伤组颈部引流淋巴结T细胞CD69表达的百分率与相应手术对照组相比较差异有显著性(P=0.0457);而神经损伤组、手术对照组肠系膜淋巴结T细胞CD69表达的百分率与正常小鼠相比较差异无显著性(P值分别为0.2817、0.2724)。面神经轴切损伤后2周,神经损伤组CDLN的T细胞CD69表达的百分率仍然维持在较高水平,神经损伤组MLN的T细胞CD69表达的百分率出现上调,与相应对照组及术后3天时相比较差异均有显著性(P值分别为0.0082、0.0133)。结论面神经轴切损伤3天、2周时,颈部引流淋巴结存在T细胞活化并上调;在2周时。肠系膜淋巴结也出现低水平的T细胞活化。提示面神经损伤急性期。伴随着一个局部免疫应答向全身免疫应答转化的过程,在一定程度上有利于机体协调控制免疫应答的规模与方向。
简介:[摘要]目的研究胃癌中基质金属蛋白酶-9和CD105表达的关系。方法选择49例经病理确诊的胃癌患者和20例正常胃组织为研究对象,采用免疫组织化学法检测MMP-9阳性表达率和CD105标记的微血管密度(MVD)。结果胃癌组织MMP-9阳性表达率、血管密度(MVD)明显高于正常胃组织(67.35%vs25.00%,37.69±9.27vs16.22±5.92)(P<0.05);低度分化、浆膜层以外、有淋巴转移胃癌MMP-9、MVD明显高于高+中度分析、未及浆膜层、无淋巴转移胃癌(P<0.05)。结论MMP-9和CD105表达与胃癌的发生、进展密切相关,能预测胃癌的病理分化程度、浸润深度及淋巴结转移情况。
