γδT cells account for approximately 1％-10％ of T lymphocytes in peripheral blood,but they are more abundant in mucosal tissue.γδT cells can produce a diverse range of cytokines to exert cytotoxic effector function.In addition,γδT cells can act as antigen-presenting cell(APC) to enhance the activity of effector T cells and contribute to autoimmunity.Based on the recognized ligands and their common lack of major histocompatibility (MHC) restriction,γδT cells are considered as nontraditional T cells that link innate and adaptive immunity.Previous studies showed that γδT cells have dual function.They can help to strengthen an immune process,and they might also help to suppress immune response.Up to now,many researches have focused on how γδT cells to impact and regulate the experimental autoimmune uveitis by the interaction between γδT cells with αβT cells,interleukine-17 (IL-17),regulatory T cell (Treg),dendritic cell(DC) and toll-like receptor(TLR).In uveitis,a further understanding of the plasticity of γδT cells is required to specifically identify strategies for intentional modulation of their beneficial or detrimental regulatory activity.Here,the basic biological characteristics and the current knowledge on the regulation mechanism of γδT cells in uveitis disease were reviewed.

Sixteen patients with congenital heart disease,4 males,12 females,aged 5-52 years,admitted to Department of Cardiology,Tianchang People's Hospital from October 2007 to November 2008 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were diagnosed by echocardiography as 4 with congenital patent ductus arteriosus(PDA),6 atrial septal defect(ASD) and 6 ventricular septal defect(VSD).The diameter limitation of PDA,ASD and VSD are 5-17 mm,20-32 mm,and 4-10 mm,respectively.All patients received transcatheter-closure therapy by domestic-made occluders,and diameters of PDA,ASD and VSD were monitored using angiography and echocardiography.The treatment effect was evaluated by echocardiography 72 hours after procedure.The closure rate was 100%,without severe complications.No residual shunt was observed 72 hours after procedure.Four patients developed fever,including 2 acute respiratory infection and 2 pulmonary infection with balanced anesthesia;1 patient with ASD and 2 with VSDs developed arrhythmia.Results suggest that transcatheter closure of congenital heart defects(PDA,ASD and VSD) using domestic-made occluders is safe and effective according to strict indications.

Objective To study the effect of circumferential pulmonary vein isolation(CPVI) guided by Carto-Merge and Lasso catheter for the treatment of atrial fibrillation(AF).Methods Fifty-six drug refractory patients(41 male) with paroxysmal AF were enrolled into this study with a mean age of(58.5?12.7) years.Ostia of pulmonary veins(PVs) were identified by Carto-Merge.Then circumferential pulmonary vein isolation was performed.The endpoint of ablation was abolishment or dissociation of the pulmonary vein potentials(PVPs).Results Mean distance between electroanatomic mapping points and MRI surfaces was(1.79?0.33) mm as a whole in this group.Abolishment or dissociation of PVPs was accomplished in 52 patients(92.9%) during the first procedure.After a mean(18.3?5.7) months of follow up,41 patients(73.2%) maintained sinus rhythm.Ten patients received a second ablation procedure,and 8 were free of atrial tachyarrhythmias after a mean(8.2?6.9) months of the second follow up.No PV stenosis was identified after ablation procedure.Conclusion Combination of Lasso catheters with Carto-Merge to guide the CPVI procedure can confirm the isolation of PVs and lower the incidence of PVs stenosis.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL)in the lateral position.Methods A total of 48 patients with staghorn(12 cases,2.2 to 5.8 cm in diameter)or multiple renal calculi(31)or upper ureteral stones(5)were treated with MPCNL in our hospital between July 2004 to October 2007.The patients were placed in a lateral position with the head 10? lower and the feet 20? lower.The puncture was made under the guidance of X-ray or ultrasonography,and then Holmium laser or EMS lithotripter was used for stone fragmentation.The stone debris was removed by irrigation.Results The procedure was completed in all of the 48 patients except one,who was converted to a supine position because of the difficulty in puncture.Among the 47 cases,41 were cured with the first operation,the other 6 received catheterization in the first procedure,and then underwent calculi removal in a second-stage operation.None of the patients were converted to open surgery.The mean operation time in this series was(137.5?39.6)min.The one-stage cure rate in our patients was 82.9%(34/41).None of the cases had massive blood loss,or injuries to the pleura and other organs.Follow-up was available in 21 cases for 1 to 3 months.During the period,among the 17 patients who had hydronephrosis,11 were cured and 6 were improved;and among the 4 who had residual stones,1 received ESWL in 1 months after the first operation and was cured afterwards;the other 3 were treated by traditional Chinese medicine,2 of them were cured.Conclusions The MPCNL performed on the patients in the lateral position is an effective alternative for renal calculi,and favorable to intra-operative anesthesia monitor.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of flupentixol and melitracen(deanxit)combined with trimebutine maleate(TMB)in the treatment of patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders(FGID).Methods 135 patients with FGID were selected,and were divided into two groups accorded to the random number method,with 68 cases in the observation group and 67 cases in the control group.The control group was treated with oryzanol and vitamin B6 ,while the observation group was treated with deanxit combine with TMB on the basis of the control group. Main symptoms of postprandial discomfort,early satiety,abdominal pain and burning sensation on the abdomen in the two groups before and after treatment were monitored,adverse reactions of two groups were recorded,and the total efficacy was evaluated after the end of treatment.Results The difference of postprandial discomfort,early satiety, abdominal pain and upper abdominal burning sensation integration between the two groups had no statistically significant before treatment(all P >0.05).After treatment,the postprandial discomfort,early satiety,the abdominal pain and epigastric burning sensation were (4.1 ±1.6)points,(3.4 ±1.1)points,(4.2 ±1.2)points and(4.4 ± 0.7)points in the observation group,which were better than (5.9 ±2.4)points,(5.3 ±1.6 )points,(6.0 ± 1.2)points and(6.1 ±0.5)points in the control group(t =3.057,4.791,5.196,9.681,all P <0.05).The total efficacy was 94.1%(64 /68)in the observation group,which was better than 77.6%(52 /67)in the control group(χ2 =7.603,P <0.05).The difference of adverse reaction rates between the two groups had no statistically significant(P >0.05).Conclusion Deanxit combine with TMB can significantly improve symptoms in patients with FGID,and has a significant effect,thus it is a safe and effective therapy.

Objective To investigate the recurrence and influence factors of spontaneous pneumothorax in patients after thoracoscope surgery. Methods From March 2009 to March 2011,218 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax after thoracoscope surgery in our hospital were surveyed by the self-made general data questionnaire. The clinical data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and binary classification logistic regression analysis of SPSS 19. 0 to find out the infection influential factors of spontaneous pneumothorax for patients after thoraco-scope surgery in order to provide reference basis for reducing postoperative recurrence. Results The recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumo-thorax was 5. 05%(11/218). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that recurrent pneumothorax ( OR=2. 432,P=0. 000) and multi-ple pulmonary bulla (OR=1. 918,P=0. 000) were the risk factors of spontaneous pneumothorax for patients after thoracoscope surgery. Conclusion The recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumothorax is high,we should strengthen the management of high-risk population and im-prove the prognosis of patients.

Objective To identify age-related changes in emotional memory.Methods A neuropsychological battery was set to measure the education-matched 48 younger, 48 middle-aged and 48 normally aging adults who were given picture tasks.Results Compared with the younger [positive (67.02 ±9.70)%,neutral (60.83 ±9.18)%, negative(75.38 ±12.80)%] and middle-aged controls [positive (68.25 ±10.89),neutral (61.63 ±7.46)%, negative (72.19 ±11.34)%], the differences of the affective images recognition accuracy in the elderly [positive (61.10 ±10.06)%, neutral (49.77 ±8.35)%, negative (55.65 ±11.17)%] were statistically significant (F=6.70,F=30.17,F=38.72,P<0.05-0.01), older adults remembering positive image better than negative image (F=15.67,P<0.05).However, there was no significant difference in their rating of valence of the images. Conclusion Emotional memory is impaired in the healthy elderly people, and indicates that age-related changes in emotional memory indicates may have different neuromechanisms.
