Objective:To observe the effect of triptolide on asthmatic mice IL-23, Th17 cells and their cytokine IL-17 expression,and to explore its effect on Th17 cell-mediated airway inflammation,and its mechanism of action,which provides targets for triptolide in treatment of asthma.Methods: 32 SPF level BALB/c mice were randomly divided into normal control group ( NC ) , asthmatic group ( A ) , triptolide group ( TA group ) and dexamethasone group ( DA group ) , n=8.Asthmatic group with ovalbumin sensitization and aluminum hydroxide;ovalbumin intranasal inhalation challernge.Mice of triptolide group and dexamethasone group were sensitized and challenged as asthmatic group, and the two groups were respectively given triptolide and dexamethasone by intraperitoneal injection 30 minutes before challenged.Mice of control group was sensitized and challenged by saline.The total number of white blood cells and the number of eosinophils of BALF were calculated by cell counter.IL-23 and IL-17 levels in BALF were measured by ELISA.Lung tissue were stained with hematoxyin and eosin(HE).IL-17 protein expression levels were detected by immu-nohistochemistry in lung tissue,and the mRNA expression levels of right lung tissue were detected by qRT-PCR.Th17 percentage of CD4+T lymphocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:Numbers of white blood cells( WBC) and eosinophils( Eos) of BALF, IL-23 and IL-17 levels of BALF,IL-17 protein and IL-17 mRNA expression in lung tissue,and Th17 cell frequencies in peripheral blood were all significantly increased in the asthmatic group compared to the control group(P<0.05),but reduced significantly in triptolide group and dexamethasone group compared to asthmatic group;there was no significant difference in the above mentioned indicators between in triptolide group and dexamethasone group ( P>0.05 ) .Conclusion: Triptolide can inhibit airway inflammation, which mechanism is possible by inhibiting IL-23/Th17(IL-17) inflammatory axis.

Objective:To study the influence of triptolide on neutrophils asthmatic mice of WBC and EOS in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.Methods:Using ovalbumin ( OVA) combined with lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) method to establish sensitized asthmatic mice,BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 32 neutrophilic asthma group ( NA group ) , neutrophil triptolide intervention group (TLN group),neutrophil dexamethasone group (DXN group) and normal control group (NC group),n=8,hemocytometer calculated for each group of mice bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) of the total number of WBC and EOS;smears stained Switzerland View in-flammatory cell infiltration.Results: In bronchioalveolar lavage fluid, numbers and infiltrations of WBC and EOS were significantly decreased in the DXN,TLN group than those in the NA group(P<0.05);but were significantly higher than the NC group (P<0.05), the DXN group above parameters were significantly higher than the TLN group ( all P<0.05 ) .Conclusion: Triptolide can reduce the total number of BALF WBC and EOS,inhibit lung WBC,EOS infiltration,ease neutrophilic airway inflammation.

Medical quality and safety are the foundation for the high-quality development of public hospitals.The concept of Multi-disciplinary Treatment(MDT)is of great value for functional departments of hospitals to collaborate in carrying out medi-cal quality management practices.Children's Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine explored a new quality manage-ment model,constructed the MDT practice path for medical quality in administration,and formed a closed-loop management process where clinical departments actively initiate consultations,various administrative functional departments collaborate and in-teract in a two-way manner,accurately identify and solve clinical problems,and continuously track and feedback outcomes.After the inception of this path,the overall level of medical quality and safety in the hospital has been comprehensively improved,mainly manifested in the enhancement of quality control capabilities of clinical departments,optimization of core performance e-valuation indicators,and remarkable improvement in patient satisfaction,thereby holding profound significance for high-quality development of the hospital.

【Objective】 To investigate the correlation of serum exosomal microRNA-301a (miR-301a) with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after peritoneal dialysis in diabetic nephropathy. 【Methods】 A total of 211 patients with diabetic nephropathy treated with peritoneal dialysis from June 2019 to June 2020 in the First Hospital Affiliated of Hebei North University were selected as study subjects. Serum exosomal miR-301a was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The patients were divided into high miR-301a group and low miR-301a group based on the median of miR-301a; the clinical data of the two groups were compared. The correlation of miR-301a with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was analyzed by Spearman. Linear regression was applied to analyze the factors associated with the effect of miR-301a. The patients were followed up for two years. Kaplan-Meier and Log-Rank were conducted to compare the cumulative incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events between the two groups, and COX regression and restricted cubic spline were used to analyze the level-effect relationship between miR-301a and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after peritoneal dialysis. 【Results】 Thirty-seven cases (17.54%) of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events occurred during follow-up. The hs-CRP level and dialysis duration were lower in low miR-301a group than in high miR-301a group (P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between miR-301a and hs-CRP (rs=0.237, P=0.001). Linear regression analysis showed that hs-CRP was independently associated with miR-301a (P<0.05). The cumulative cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event rate in low miR-301a group was 3.70% (4/108), which was lower than that in high miR-301a group [32.04% (33/103), P<0.001]. COX regression analysis showed that high serum albumin level was an independent protective factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after peritoneal dialysis in diabetic nephropathy,while high hs-CRP level and miR-301a >1.46 were independent risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after peritoneal dialysis in diabetic nephropathy. Restricted cubic spline fitting COX regression analysis showed a non-linear relationship between miR-301a and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after peritoneal dialysis in diabetic nephropathy (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 hs-CRP is independently associated with miR-301a in diabetic nephropathy peritoneal dialysis patients. High miR-301a level suggests a high risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events after peritoneal dialysis in diabetic nephropathy.

To investigate the expression of microRNA (miRNA, miR) let-7e-3p in different cervical lesions and its clinical significance.The expression of miR-let-7e-3p in the tissues of normal cervix (=26), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (=37), and cervix carcinoma (=101) were detected by reverse transcription and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The correlation of miR-let-7e-3p expression with the clinicopathological parameters of patients with cervical cancer was analyzed. miR-let-7e-3p mimic was transfected into cervical carcinoma Siha cells. The cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry; cell proliferation was determined by CCK-8 kit; and the migration and invasion of cells were determined by Transwell assay.The relative expression levels of miR-let-7e-3p in normal cervix, HSIL, and cervical carcinoma were 1.45±0.24, 0.79±0.05 and 0.46±0.04, respectively (all<0.05). After transfection with miR-let-7e-3p mimic, the S-phase fraction and apoptosis rate of Siha cells were increased significantly compared with control group[(29.76±6.6)% vs (13.38±1.3)%,<0.05; (5.98±1.38)% vs (3.53±0.79)%,<0.05, respectively]. OD of transfected Siha cells at 48, 72 and 96 h were 0.57±0.11,0.65±0.04 and 0.84±0.14, which were significantly lower than those of untransfected Siha cells (0.74±0.05, 0.93±0.10 and 1.47±0.14, all<0.05). The migration and invasion abilities of transfected Siha cells were not significantly changed (all>0.05).The expression of miR-let-7e-3p is down-regulated in cervical neoplasms, which is associated with cell cycle arrest and proliferation inhibition of cervical cancer cells.
