Objective To investigate The Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 polarization in the peripheral blood of first degree relatives of pemphigus vulgaris(PV) and healthy control individuals, and to approach the mechanism of the Dsg3-specific autoimmunity in PV. Methods The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from first degree relatives and healthy control was stimulated for72 h with Dsg3 and without Dsg3. Th1/Th2, Tc1/Tc2 was assessed by four-color flow cytometry. Results The mean frequency of Dsg3-spe-cific Th2 cells for PV antibody positive first degree relatives was 10.13%±3.72%, compared with stimula-tion without antigen 7.28%±3.58%, the difference was significant (P<0.05). The percentage Dsg3-spe-cific Th2 was markedly higher in the PV antibody positive first degree relatives group than that in the control group(10.13%±3.72% vs 6.10%±2.82%, P<0.05) , Tc2 was markedly higher also (20.01%± 10.43% v514.91%±8.06%, 20.01%±10.43% vs 9.58%±5.49%, P<0.05). Conclusion When Dsg3 stimulated PBMC were used to stimulate autologous T cells an increased amount of Th2 and Tc2 was observed, it is implied that the imbalance of Th1/Th2, Tc1/Tc2 might play an important role in the initia-tion of PV.

Objective To explore the correlation of meteorological parameters with the epidemic of acute Moraxella ca-tarrhalis respiratory infection in hospitalized children in Suzhou. Methods A total of 8143 children with acute respiratory infec-tion were participated in the trial during 2006 to 2010, and the secretions of nasopharynx were collected for bacterium culture. Moraxella catarrhalis was identified according to the routine technique of culture. Meteorological parameters including mean temperature, relative humidity, rainfall amount, duration of sunshine and mean wind velocity were collected monthly during the same period. The relationship between the epidemic of Moraxella catarrhalis and metrorological parameters were analyzed by seasonal decomposition method, the Spearman rank correlation and stepwise regression analysis. Results Moraxella catarrhalis was identified in 4.04% of 8 143 specimens. The prevalence of acute Moraxella catarrhalis respiratory infection was higher during winter and spring. The monthly infection rate of Moraxella catarrhalis was negatively correlated with mean temperature as well as duration of sunshine and wind velocity. Wind velocity was independent risk factor for Moraxella catarrhalis infection. Conclusions Moraxella catarrhalis is a primary pathogen in respiratory tract infection in children in Suzhou. The epidemic of Moraxella catarrhalis is closely related to meteorological parameters.
