- Treatment of PBMC with the CD4-specific mAb BT-061 induces CD4 down-modulation of T cells. Here we report that addition of BT-061 to purified T cells did not confer this effect, whereas incubation of T cells in BT-061 coated wells restored CD4 down-modulation. These results implied that Fc gamma receptor mediated cell-cell interactions played a role. In consistence with this hypothesis PBMC depleted of CD64(+) monocytes did not confer CD4 down-modulation of BT-061 decorated T cells. Strikingly, CD4 down-modulation was observed in BT-061 treated synovial fluid punctuated from patients' inflamed joints that comprised enhanced numbers of CD64(+) cells. In contrast, in a circulating whole blood system injection of BT-061 did not induce CD4 down-modulation, due to CD64 saturation by serum IgG. Similarly, tonsil derived mononuclear cells devoid of CD64(+) cells did not show CD4 down-modulation, whereas addition of blood derived monocytes restored the effect. Thus, the interaction of BT-061 decorated T cells with CD64(+) cells is needed for CD4 down-modulation, implying that in patients BT-061 would primarily induce CD4 down-modulation at inflammatory sites. These results highlight the need not only to examine the interaction of a given mAb with single Fc gamma R, but also the immunological environment that is appropriate to support such interactions.

- Objective: To explore the strategy of surgical treatment of low-grade brain tumors associated with epilepsy. Methods: Clinical data of 158 patients with low-grade brain tumors were collected from January 2011 to December 2017 in Guangdong Sanjiu brain hospital. All patients received Preoperative evaluation. Lesion site: 18 cases were located in multiple cerebral lobes, 10 cases were in the functional zones, 130 cases were in the non-functional zones (including 74 cases were in the medial of temporal lobe). The surgical strategy included subtotal resection, gross-total resection and enlarged resection. Postoperative effects were evaluated by Engel classification. Results: A total of 158 patients underwent surgical treatment, among these patients, only 1 patient underwent intracranial electrode implantation. Surgical methods: 34 cases of subtotal resection, 3 cases of gross-total resection, 119 cases of enlarged resection (including Anterior temporal lobectomy in 74 cases) and 2 case of Selective hippocampal amygdalectomy. The final pathology suggested that there are 74 cases of ganglionglioma, 25 cases of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors, 9 cases of pilocytic astrocytoma, 16 cases of oligodendroglioma, 10 cases of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, 4 case of diffuse astrocytoma, 9 cases of unclassified astrocytoma, 11 case of oligoastrocytoma. The follow-up time was between 1 and 7 years, with an average of 3.44 +/- 1.77 years. Postoperative recovery: 147 patients had an Engel Class I outcome, 10 patients were in Engel Class II, 1 patient was in Class IV. Conclusion: The strategy of surgical treatment of low-grade brain tumors associated with epilepsy should pay more attention to the preoperative assessment of the epileptogenic zone. The tumor is not exactly the same as the epileptogenic zone, and the strategy of surgical treatment depends on the tumor feature as well as whether it was located in temporal lobe or involved in functional areas.
