Objective To investigate the changes of Treg cells,Th17 cells and related cytokines in pe?ripheral blood of patients with severe hand?foot?mouth disease( HFMD) in the initial stage of infection caused by Enterovirus 71 virus. Methods Thirty?five cases of severe HFMD children in the Fifth Hospital of Shijiazhuang from May 2013 to December 2013 were selected as the research subjects,including 27 cases of severe formed group and 8 cases of danger severe formed group. The frequencies of Th17 cells ( CD3+CD8?IL?17+) and Treg cells( CD4+CD25+Foxp3+) in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry in patients with severe HFMD and 31 healthy children(control group). Moreover the serum levels of interleukin 6(IL?6),interleukin 17(IL?17) ,interleukin 10( IL?10) ,interleukin 23( IL?23) ,and human transforming growth factorβ1 ( TGF?β1) were measured by ELISA. Results As compared with those in control group,the frequencies of Treg cells,ratio of Treg/Th17,serum levels of TGF?β1, IL?10 in severe HFMD groups were significantly decreased ( F=23. 23, 30. 88,10. 766,11. 680 respectively;P<0. 05) . However the frequency of Th17 cells,serum levels of IL?6,IL?17,IL?23 in severe HFMD groups were significantly increased( F=646. 81,5. 904,10. 557,3. 490 respectively;P<0. 05) . Conclusion The changes of Treg and Thl7 cells and related cytokines appear in peripheral blood of patients with HFMD in the initial stage of infection caused by Enterovirus 71 virus. The frequency of Treg cell is decreased,however,the frequency of Thl7 cells frequency is increased,as a result,which may spread inflammato?ry reaction and cause complication.

BACKGROUND:Chinese herb Cape Jasmine Fruit can activate the chondrocytes and geniposide is an important component in this herb.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of geniposide on col agen II synthesis in rat chondrocytes cultured in vitro. METHODS:Rat chondrocytes were separated and cultured in vitro. The chondrocytes were then interfered with 25, 50 and 100 mmol/L geniposide. Normal control group was also set. Col agen II mRNA and protein expression was detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR and western blot analysis, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:RT-PCR and western blot analysis results showed that, geniposide at 25, 50 and 100 mmol/L increased the col agen II mRNA and protein expression (P<0.01). Geniposide can promote the synthesis of col agen II in rat chondrocytes cultured in vitro.

cleaning and disinfection.Results All 28 surveyed medical institutions had separate endoscope disinfection rooms, 89.29% of which had integrated endoscopic cleaning station,17.86% had automatic endoscope washer/disinfector;100% used multi-enzymatic detergent,chose the right disinfectant,monitored disinfectant concentration every day, and implemented standard disinfection time.But only 39.29% changed multi-enzymatic detergent for each endo-scope,cleaning and disinfection personnel in 78.57% of medical institutions wore personal protective equipment correctly.77 digestive endoscopes were detected,the qualified rate was 88.31%.Conclusion Cleaning and disin-fection management of digestive endoscope in secondary and above medical institutions in Suzhou City is generally standardized,there are still some problems in the manipulation procedures,relevant national regulations should be strictly complied with,efficacy of cleaning and disinfection of digestive endoscope should be further improved.

Objective:To investigate the effect of lateral tibial periosteum distraction on diabetic foot and vasculitis foot.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 13 patients (16 feet) who received lateral tibial periosteal distraction between June 2019 and May 2020 were included in the study. 9 males and 4 females; aged 39-77 years (average 66 years); left foot 7 cases, right foot 9 cases. 5 cases were patients with diabetic foot, 1 case was diabetic foot with arteriosclerosis obliterans, 2 cases were thromboembolic vasculitis, and 5 cases were arteriosclerosis obliterans. The tibial periosteum was dissected and a distraction device was placed. In the 3 patients with foot ulcers, tibial periosteum distraction devices were placed on the severer side. The periosteal distraction began on the third day after surgery, about 0.75 mm/d, the adjustment was done usually in two weeks. Two weeks later, the stretch plate was removed surgically. The followings were evaluated: visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, foot peripheral oxygen saturation, foot capillary filling test, lower extremity arterial CT angiography (CTA), etc.Results:All 13 patients were followed up for 2-12 weeks, with an average of 3.85 weeks. VAS pain score: the average pain score of 13 patients with preoperative foot pain was 5.31±1.84 (range, 2-9) points, and 2 weeks after surgery, the average value was 2.46±1.39 (range, 1-6) points with statistical significance ( t=6.124, P<0.001) ; peripheral foot oxygen saturation: the average preoperative blood oxygen saturation of 12 patients was 87.83%±14.83% (range, 50%-98%), 1 patient was not detected before surgery, and 2 weeks after operation, the average blood oxygen saturation was 92.33%±7.91% (range, 75%-99%). There was no significant difference between them ( t=1.124, P=0.285). The foot skin temperature of 10 patients was 35.68±0.85 ℃ (range, 34.00-36.60 ℃) before surgery and 36.23±0.46 ℃ (range, 35.50-36.90 ℃) after surgery, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.197, P=0.008) . Capillary filling test: 2 weeks after operation, the capillary filling response was significantly improved. All 13 patients had improved CTA of both lower extremity arteries before operation, and 11 patients had CTA taken back after two weeks of operation. Compared with preoperative CTA, new vascular network was found in the operation limb. In addition to 1 patient with thromboangiitis obliterans (mainly suffering from foot pain, no wound symptoms), 2 of 12 patients with heart failure, renal failure and other basic diseases did not heal, and the wounds of the other 10 patients had improved significantly 1 month later. Conclusion:Lateral tibia periosteum distraction can be used to treat chronic ischemic diseases of lower extremities with satisfactory postoperative results.
