Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2014;(9):825-828
Objective To study the T Lymphocyte Subsets and the cytokines in the newborns with infectious diseases. Methods Twenty cases of neonatal bacterial pneumonia (bacterial group), 15 cases of rotavirus enteritis (virus group) and 20 newborns with jaundice (control group) were recruited in this study. The peripheral CD4+T Cells and lymphocyte subsets were assessed by flow cytometry. Results The IL-4 level was significantly different among different groups (F=3.39, P=0.041). The levels of IL-17 and IFN-γdid not differ signiifcantly among different groups (F=0.28 and 1.24 respectively, P>0.05). The IL-4 level was higher in bacterial group than that in virus group and control group (P<0.05). The percentages of CD3+, CD4+, CD19+and NK cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ had significant difference among different groups (F=3.30-26.69, P<0.05). The percentages of CD3+and CD4+cells and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+were lower in bacterial group and virus group than those in control group (P<0.05). The percentage of CD19+cells was higher in bacterial group and virus group than that in control group (P<0.05). The percentage of NK cells was lower in virus group than that in bacterial group and control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The pattern of cytokines level is different in newborns with infection caused by different pathogens. Newborns with infectious diseases have immune dysfunction and Th2-dominated imbalance. The low percentages of T lymphocyte subsets indicate the depressed cellular immunity after infection, which may result in atypical symptom and prolonged disease course.
3.Tuina combined with needling distal points for pseudo-myopia in adolescents
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2015;(3):160-164
Objective:To observe the clinical effect of tuina combine with needling distal points for pseudo-myopia in adolescents. Methods:A total of 64 adolescents with pseudo-myopia were allocated into a treatment group and a control group by the random number table, 32 cases in each group (64 eyes). Cases in the treatment group were treated with tuina combined with needling distal points, whereas cases in the control group were treated with the same tuina method (manipulations, treatment area and time) as those in the treatment group. The treatment was done once a day for 10 d as a treatment course. They were treated for 3 courses and there was a 2-day interval between two courses. After 3 treatment courses, all cases were re-examined for the short-term effect on uncorrected eyesight using the logarithmic visual acuity chart and on diopter using retinophotoscopy. Results:After 3 treatment courses, the visual acuity in both groups was improved. The total effective rate was 92.2% in the treatment group, versus 82.8% in the control group, showing a statistical significance (P<0.05) and indicating a better effect in the treatment group than that in the control group. Conclusion:Tuina combined with needling distal points is remarkably effective for pseudo-myopia in adolescents. Since it doesn’t cause fear (from needling local points around the eyes), it’s easy to be accepted by adolescents and worthy of further clinical application.
