This study aimed to determine whether EIN can improve the immune function in multiple trauma patients. METHODS：Thirty-two patients with multiple trauma who had been admitted to the general ICU of Changzheng Hospital, Shanghai, from March 2007 to May 2008, were randomly divided into two groups： an enteral immunonutrition group （EIN group, n=16） and an enteral nutrition group （EN group, n=16）. EIN suspension （RuiNeng produced by Sino-Swed Co., Ltd） and ordinary nutrition liquid （RuiSu produced by Sino-Swed Co., Ltd） were given to patients of the EIN group and EN group respectively for at least for 14 days. Peripheral blood lymphocyte count （TLC）, immunoglobulin （IgG, IgM, IgA）, and T-lymphocyte subsets （CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4 / CD8） were detected on the 1st day after grouping, and the 7th day and 14th day after nutritional support. RESULTS： TLC, IgG, IgM, IgA, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher in the EIN group on the 7th and 14th day than that on the 1st day （P〈0.05）, and continually increased with a prolonged time of EIN. The parameters of immune function in the EN group on the 7th day didn＇t change significantly compared with those on the 1st day after grouping; on the 14 th day, TLC, IgG, IgM, IgA, CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio were significantly higher than those on the 1st day after grouping （P〈0.05）, but were significantly lower than those in the EIN group on the 14th day （P〈0.05）. CONCLUSION： Compared with the general formula EN, EIN is more helpful for the recovery of humoral and cellular immune function in the early post-multitraumatic phase.展开更多

Accident-immunity system for highly hazardous petrochemical enterprise, which is made up of its productive system＇s Safety Organ and Safety Organization, is typically an evolution-cultivation progress for immune function, The new B immune cell is generated after several layers＇ screening, clone expanding, receptor editing, organizing in immune system of work accident in petrochemical enterprise. There is a B immune cell with high appetency and a manipulative function chain for accident-immunity. Taking the antigen of accidents in industry as the target function and the immune antibody as the solution, the authors carried out a computation diagram for prediction of appetency between the antigen and antibody.展开更多

It was found that the functions of thymocytes and splenocytes suffered the most severe suppression in the 24th to 72nd hour after radiation injury and began to recover on the 7th day. In the rats with burn injury, the suppression on thymocytes and splenocytes were significantly less severe than that after radiation and recovered more rapidly. The effects of combined radiation-burn injury showed several characteristics. The suppression on the thymocytes was more severe with slower recovery as compared with that after single radiation injury only. The suppression on the splenocytes as a whole was similar to that after single radiation injury , but in the early stage after combined injury, the suppression was far more severe than that after radiation Escharectomy and skin grafting on the burn wounds on the lst day after combined injury could accelerate the recovery on both the thymocytes and splenocytes. Our findings indicated that the severity of the suppression on the immune functions due to combined radiation-burn injury might depend on the size of the burn wounds.展开更多
