Objective:To analyze the levels of immune cytokine in peripheral blood(PB) and the expressions of immune related transcription factors in placenta cytotrophoblast,which in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH).And to explore the effect of fetal-maternal immune tolerance on pregnancy-induced hypertension.Methods:50 cases patients with PIH were selected as the observation group,and 40 healthy people were chosen as the control group.Enzyme-linked immunoassay(ELISA) was performed to detect the levels of IFN-γ,IL-4,IL-17 and TGF-β in peripheral blood.Quantitative Real-time PCR(RT-qPCR) and Western blot were used to analyze the mRNA expressions and protein levels of T-bet,GATA-3,RORC and Foxp3 in placenta cytotrophoblast,respectively.Results:①Compared with the control group,the IFN-γ and IL-17 levels in peripheral blood in the observation group were obviously higher and the TGF-β level was greatly lower(P<0.05).There was no significant difference of IL-4 level between the two groups(P>0.05),but the ratios of IFN-γ/ IL-4 and IL-17/TGF-β in the observation group were larger than that in the control group(P<0.05).②Compared with the control group,the mRNA expressios and protein levels of T-bet and RORC in the observation group were increased significantly(P<0.05),but that of GATA-3 and Foxp3 were decreased greatly(P<0.05).Thus,the ratios of T-bet/GATA-3 and RORC/Foxp3 in the observation group were significantly larger than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:PIH is occurred with the imbalance of Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg,and it might be associated with the mechanism of fetal-maternal immune tolerance disorder that induced by Th cells.

Objective To explore effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of Hela cells in vitro by using vascular endothelial growth factor-C(VEGF-C) antisense oligonucleotides (ASODN). Methods VEGF-C ASODN was transfected into Hela cells by liposome-mediated; the cells transfected with the oligodeoxynuclecotide (SODN) and saline were used as control groups. The efficiency of transfection was detected by fluorescence microscope. The inhibitive rate of cell growth was detected with MTT methods. Apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated using FCM. The mRNA expression of VEGF-C was determined by RT-PCR, and the expression of VEGF-C was determined by western blotting. Results VEGF-C ASODN had been transfected into Hela cells by liposome-mediated. The index of apoptosis after transfection 48 h was (19.39±1.81)%. G2/M phase cell increased after transfection, meanwhile the expression of VEGF-C degraded on the level of mRNA and protein (P<0.05). Conclusion Transfeeted with VEGF-C ASODN could down-regulate the expression of VEGF on the level of mRNA and protein, block the cell circle, inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in Hela cells in vitro.

Noninfectious diarrhea is a kind of digestive disease caused by many factors and the main clinical features are increased frequency of defecation and change of character of stool,most of the patients have intestinal microecological imbalance. Improving the intestinal microecological balance is very important in the treatment of noninfectious diarrhea. Microbial ecological agent(MEA)has definite efficacy for the treatment of noninfectious diarrhea,and gradually becomes the commonly used drug for noninfectious diarrhea in clinical practice. This article reviewed the use of MEA in the treatment of noninfectious diarrhea.

Objective To investigate the effects of oral calcium and active vitamin D on bone mineral density and balance function in senile osteoporosis patients.Methods A prospective casecontrol study was conducted on 216 senile osteoporosis patients who met the inclusion criteria.Patients were given oral calcium and active vitamin D for 12 months.The data values of BMD,balance function,falls incidence and bone pain were compared before versus 6 and 12 months after treatment.Results There were significant differences in BMD of lumbar vertebrae and femur neck,static balance function assessed by the single-leg stance timed tests with closed eyes,dynamic balance function assessed by the Star Excursion Balance Test(SEBT) in directions of east,southeast,south and southwest(all P＜0.05).The incidence of falls was decreased 12 months after treatment as compared with pre-treatment(5.6％ vs.12.5％).The bone pain had no significant difference before versus after treatment(P＞0.05).Conclusions Oral calcium and active vitamin D could increase BMD,improve the balance function and decrease the risk of falls in senile osteoporosis patients.However,it has no significant improvement on bone pain within a short period.

Objective To explore the prevalence of anxiety, depression, loneliness in elderly patients with long- term hospitalization, its coping style and the correlation between them. Methods 48 hospitalized elderly patients with long- term hospitalization were investigated by Standard Scale and self- administrated questionnaire, the Pearson's correlation was used to find the correlation. Results It was concluded that anxiety, depression and other negative emotions were commonly seen in elderly patients with long term hospitalization, these patients usually adopt the avoidance and yield coping style as well,and there was a positive correlation between them, the r value was 0.438, 1.473 amd 0.501 respectively. Conclusions This research confirmed the possibility of negative emotion in elderly patients with large long- term hospitalization, but also closely related to the choice of coping styles.
