Objective To analyze the variation of peripheral blood Th17 cells and Foxp3+CD4+CD25+regulatory T (Treg)cells in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS),and to interpret the role of the ratio imbalance of peripheral blood Th17/Treg cells in the pathogenesis of AS.Methods The percentage of peripheral blood Th17 cells and Foxp3 +CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in AS patients and healthy subjects were determined by flow cytometry (FCM).The concentrations of IL-2,IL-10,TGF-β,IL-6,IL-17 and IL-23 in the serum were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The correlation between these cytokines and traditional parameters was analyzed.T test,ANOVA,SNK-q and Speannan's analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results Compared with healthy controls,the percentage of Th17 cells in AS patients increased significantly (P＜0.05); Compared with the inactive AS patients,the percentage of Th17 cells in active AS patients increased significantly [(2.10±0.82)％,(2.89±1.77)％,P＜0.05)]; the percentage of Foxp3+CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in active AS patients was markedly lower than healthy controls (P＜0.05).Compared with healthy controls and inactive AS patients,the specific value of Th17/Treg in active AS patients increased significantly(P＜0.05).The concentrations of IL-17 and IL-23 was found significantly higher in patients with AS than that in healthy controls (t=2.203,P=0.032 and t=2.088,P=0.041).The concentrations of IL-17 and IL-23 was found significantly higher in patients with active AS than that in inactive AS (t=2.808,P=0.008 and t=2.242,P=0.020).The correlation analysis revealed that these cytokines and traditional parameters was not relevant except IL-17/BASDAI (r=0.32,P=0.044).Conclusion The increased ratio of Th17 cells and decreased ratio of Foxp3+CD4+CD25+ Treg cells may play a critical role in AS progression.Manipulating the balance of Th17/Treg would provide a new approach for the treatment of AS.

Objective To explore the risk factors and imaging features of silent brain infarction (SBI).Methods The patient with SBI from the clinic were enrolled in the study,and the patients with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction served as controls.The risk factors and imaging features of both groups were compared.Results Among 145 patients with SBI,133 (91.72％) had two or more lesions,mainly in the centrum semiovale (73.10％).The proportion of patients with white matter lesions in the group of SBI in a single location was significantly lower than that in the group of SBI in multiple locations (41.67％ vs.73.68％ ;x2 =5.484,P =0.019).Compared to the patients with SBI,the age in patents with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction was older (72.42 ± 11.79 vs.67.03 ± 12.04 years; t =3.545,P =0.000),the proportions of male (63.55％ vs.46.21％ ;x2 =7.447,P =0.006),hypertension (80.37％ vs.64.14％ ; x2 =7.887,P =0.005) and atrial fibrillation (31.78％ vs.8.97％,x2 =21.113,P =0.000),as well as the levels of fasting glucose (6.09 ±1.23 mmol/Lvs.5.65± 1.18 mmol/L; t=2.863,P=0.005),total cholesterol (5.53± 0.74 mmol/Lvs.5.27 ± 0.90 mmol/L; t =2.554,P =0.011),triglycerides (1.89 ± 0.20 mmol/L vs.1.77 ± 0.18 mmol/L; t =4.910,P=0.000) and homocysteine (1 4.88 ±4.97 mmol/L vs.11.94 ±4.61 mmol/L; t =4.432,P =0.000)were higher.However,the lipoprotein (a) level was lower (0.18 ± 0.06 g/L vs.0.27 ± 0.18 g/L; t =-5.489,P =0.000).Among patients with SBI,33.8％ and 43.5％ had lesions in two and three locations,respectively;among patients with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction,66.4％ and 27.1％ had lesions in a single location and two locations,respectively (P ＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that lipoprotein (a)was the independent risk factor for SBI (odds ratio 5.988,95％ confidence interval 2.421-14.706; P =0.000).Conclusions Although they shared a variety of common risk factors,patients with SBI had less atherosclerotic risk factors than those with symptomatic non-lacunar infarction.Most patients with SBI had lesions in multiple locations.

Lapareseopic colectomy is commonly performed,but laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy for cancer located at hepatic flexure of the colon is a complex procedure,even in the hands of experts.Laparoscopic dissection of the lymph nodes around the middle colonic and right gastroepiploic vessels are so complicated that precise vascular anatomy and surgical plane are essential to complete this procedure safely.We herein describe a standard technique for performing laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy using a medial-to-lateral approach.The main surgical plane of this procedure is the right Toldt's space.The superior mesenteric vein (SMV) is the most important anatomical landmark of vascular dissection.Medial-to-lateral approach makes it easy to locate the right Toldt's space and the SMV.

Objective To explore the effect of process quality monitoring for hospital infection control of ICU. Methods A total of 265 critically ill patients admitted to ICU were chosen as the control group from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015, who were strictly enforced three cluster strategies to prevent catheter related blood stream infection (CRBSI), catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) and ventilator–associated pneumonia (VAP) with periodical data monitoring in ICU. Another 292 critically ill patients admitted to ICU were chosen as the observation group from April 1, 2015 to March 31,2016, who were added 3 measures of process quality monitoring on the basis of implementation method of the control group. The incidence of CRBSI, CAUTI and VAP time were compared between two groups. Results There was statistically significant difference on the incidence rate of the CRBSI between the two groups (χ2=4.504, P=0.034), which was respectively 1.79%(5/280) and 5.10%(13/255). There was statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of CAUTI between the two groups (χ2=5.708, P=0.017), which was respectively 3.48% (10/287) and 8.27% (21/254). There was statistically significant difference on the incidence rate of VAP between the two groups (χ2=8.291, P=0.004), which was respectively 3.48% (10/287) and 8.27% (21/254). Mean time of mechanical ventilation in the observation group and the control group was respectively (2.14±1.40) days and (3.37±2.01) days, there was no significant difference (P=0.073). Mean time of ICU stay in the observation group and the control group was respectively (6.04±1.04) days and (11.92±1.90) days, there was statistical significance (t=-1.840, P=0.024). Number of qualified central venous catheter maintenance, perineum clean and oral care had negative relevance with number of patients with CRBSI, CAUTI and VAP, correlation coefficient in the observation group was respectively-0.701,-0.618,-0.677, there was statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions The implementation of quality monitoring can reduce the number of patients with CRBSI, CAUTI and VAP, which suggests wide application in ICU.
