Total hysterectomy is a treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia Ⅲ (CINⅢ), and its recurrence rate is very small. In recent years, with the development of colposcopy and the increase of postoperative follow-up rate, the detection rate of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) and vaginal cancer after CINⅢ hysterectomy has increased significantly. In recent years, a number of studies have found that persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most important factor leading to the recurrence of vaginal stump after CINⅢ level hysterectomy, so eliminating HPV infection can improve the patient's performance. The prognosis of persistent HPV infection is affected by many factors. The author reviewed the factors related to the clearance of HPV after CINⅢ hysterectomy. The purpose of this study is to provide a theoretical basis for improving the prognosis of patients and delaying the recurrence time after CINⅢ hysterectomy.

Objective To explore the role of CD4~+CD25~+CD127~(lo) regulatory T cells (Tregs) and inter-leukin (IL)-6, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), IL-17 in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN) by detecting the levels of IL-10, IL-6, TGF-β, IL-17, CD4~+CD25~+CD127~(lo) Tregs in the peripheral blood of patients with active and inactive LN. Methods Three-colour flow cytometry was used to quantitatively measure proportions of Treg cells, the levels of TGF-β, IL-17 were detected by ELISA, and the levels of IL-10, IL-6 in the peripheral blood were detected by Cytometric Bead Array System. Results ① Compared with the inactive LN and the normal controls (P<0.01), the level of CD4~+CD25~+CD127~(lo) Tregs from patients with active LN was lower(P<0.01). When compared with the normal controls, the level of CD4~+CD25~+CD127~(lo) Tregs from LN inactive patients had no significant difference (P>0.05). ② Compared with patients with inactive LN, the levels of IL-10, IL-6 was higher (P<0.01) in patients with active LN. ③ Compared with the patients with inactive LN and the normal controls, the levels of TGF-β, IL-17 was not significantly different (P>0.05). ④ The level of CD4~+CD25~+CD127~(lo) T cell was correlated negatively with the levels of IL-10, IL-6 and SLEDAI (P<0.05), and was not correlated with C3 and C4. ⑤ SLEDAI was correlated positively with the levels of IL-10 and IL-6 (P<0.01). SLEDAI and the level of IL-10 were correlated negatively with C3 and C4 (P<0.01 for both). ⑥ The level of CD4~+CD25~+CD127~(lo) Tregs from LN was not correlated with TGF-β and IL-17. ⑦ TGF-β was correlated positively with the level of IL-17. Conclusion ① The level changes of Tregs and IL-10, IL-6, TGF-β in the peripheral blood of LN can be used as the indicators for the activity status of lupus nephritis. ② Tregs and IL-10, IL-6 in the peripheral blood of LN patients is negatively correlated. ③ The glucocorticoid hormone is helpful to elevate the level of Tregs but decrease IL-17. T cell level can vary in different body status, different microenvironmental and immune status.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF）， as a progressive lung disease， has a poor prognosis and no reliable and effective therapies. IPF is mainly treated by organ transplantation and administration of chemical drugs， which are ineffective and induce side effects， failing to meet the clinical needs. Therefore， developing safer and more effective drugs has become an urgent task， which necessitates clear understanding of the pathogenesis of IPF. The available studies about the pathogenesis of IPF mainly focus on macrophage polarization， epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）， oxidative stress， and autophagy， while few studies systematically explain the principles and links of the pathogeneses. According to the traditional Chinese medicine theory， Qi deficiency and blood stasis and Qi-Yang deficiency are the key pathogeneses of IPF. Therefore， the Chinese medicines or compound prescriptions with the effects of replenishing Qi and activating blood， warming Yang and tonifying Qi， and eliminating stasis and resolving phlegm are often used to treat IPF. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that such medicines play a positive role in inhibiting macrophage polarization， restoring redox balance， inhibiting EMT， and regulating cell autophagy. However， few studies report how Chinese medicines regulate the pathways in the treatment of IPF. By reviewing the latest articles in this field， we elaborate on the pathogenesis of IPF and provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanism of the active ingredients or compound prescriptions of Chinese medicines in regulating IPF. Combining the pathogenesis of IPF with the modulating effects of Chinese medicines， we focus on exploring systemic treatment options for IPF， with a view to providing new ideas for the in-depth study of IPF and the research and development of related drugs.
