Objective To study the impact of laparoscopic radical resection and open radical resection on immune function in patients with colon cancer. Methods 110 cases received complete mesocolic excision surgery of the right colon cancer patients, according to the different surgical methods divided into observation group and control group, the observation group adopted laparoscopic surgery while the control group treated with open surgery, then compared the inflammatory stress response and related immunology index changes before and after operation. Results After op-eration, inflammatory stress indicators such as MCP-1, HMGB-1, Glucagon, BG in observation group were signifi-cantly better than that in control group. After operation, WBC, CRP, IL-6 index in the two groups were significantly improved. CRP, IL-6, CD4+, CD8+, NK cell index in observation group was significantly better than that in control group. There were significant differences between the two groups, < 0.05. Conclusion Laparoscopic CME surgery can help to relieve inflammatory stress response, and the immune function is less affected, it is worthy of promoting clinical application.

OBJECTIVE:
To examine the temperament of children with vocal fold nodules.
METHOD:
To compare the temperament dimension and temperamental types of 42 children with vocal fold nodules with 46 vocally normal children, using Chinese children's Temperament Problem Screening system (CCTPSs).
RESULT:
The children with vocal fold nodules differed significantly from the comparison group in their temperament dimension's adaptability, intensity of reaction, mood value, persistency and temperamental types.
CONCLUSION
There are more difficult and slow-to-warm-up children in patients with vocal fold nodules than vocally normal children.

Objective To evaluate the role of cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) analysis in evaluating the sleep quality of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD),and explore its correlation with subjective complaints in patients with PD.Methods Sixty patients with PD,admitted to our hospital from October 2015 to December 2017,and 45 healthy controls accepted physical examinations were enrolled.The sleep qualities of all subjects were assessed using CPC and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).Independent-sample t test was used to compare the CPC variables and PSQI results,and the correlations between CPC variables and PSQI results were analyzed.Results (1) High-frequency coupling (HFC) and sleep efficiency of PD patients were significantly lower than those of healthy controls (P<0.05);very low-frequency coupling and sleep latency of PD patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (P<0.05).(2) Results of PSQI in the PD patients were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group (P<0.05);there was a negative correlation between PSQI results and HFC ratio in the PD group (r=-0.391,P=0.002).Conclusion CPC analysis is effective in reflecting the subjective sleep quality of PD patients and can be used as a new technology in sleep monitoring.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of oblique intervertebral fusion in the treatment of failed internal fixation of thoracolumbar fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 14 patients who had undergone revision surgery for failed internal fixation of thoracolumbar fracture at Department of Orthopedics, The First Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to December 2021. There were 6 men and 8 women with a mean age of 47.5 (42.0, 54.3) years. Fracture segments: T 12 in 2 cases, L 1 in 3 cases, L 2 in 4 cases, L 3 in 3 cases, and L 4 in 2 cases; AO classification: type A in 1 case, type B in 7 cases, and type C in 6 cases. Their prior surgical method was posterior internal fixation with pedicle screws. The revision surgery consisted of subtotal vertebral resection through the oblique lateral approach, bone column reconstruction and lateral screw-rod internal fixation for intervertebral fusion after posterior internal fixation reset. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hospital stay, and incidence of complications were recorded. Compared were visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores for low back pain at preoperation, 3 days and 3 months postoperation, and the last follow-up, fusion at the last follow-up, and Frankel grading for neurological function at preoperation and postoperation. Results:All the 14 patients underwent surgery successfully and were followed up for 23 (18, 24) months. The operation time was (175.1±28.2) min, the intraoperative bleeding (300.4±122.6) mL, and the postoperative hospital stay 6 (6, 7) d. One case developed postoperative transient hip flexion weakness but was discharged after restoration of normal muscle strength by conservative treatment. Both VAS and ODI scores for low back pain at all postoperative time points were significantly improved compared with the preoperative values ( P<0.05), with a significant trend of 3 days postoperation >3 months postoperation > the last follow-up ( P<0.05). In the 12 patients with preoperative neurological damage, the Frankel grading rose by at least 1 level postoperatively ( Z=-3.110, P=0.002). The last follow-up revealed no loosening or fracture of the internal fixation. Complete bony fusion was visible in all CT sagittal reconstructions. Conclusion:For patients with thoracolumbar fracture undergoing failed internal fixation, oblique intervertebral fusion is an alternative minimally invasive surgical treatment due to its satisfactory overall outcomes.

Interleukin (IL)-17A, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is a fundamental function in the onset and advancement of multiple immune diseases. To uncover the primary compounds with IL-17A inhibitory activity, a large-scale screening of the library of traditional Chinese medicine constituents and microbial secondary metabolites was conducted using splenic cells from IL-17A-GFP reporter mice cultured under Th17-priming conditions. Our results indicated that some aureane-type sesquiterpene tetraketides isolated from a wetland mud-derived fungus, Myrothecium gramineum, showed remarkable IL-17A inhibitory activity. Nine new aureane-type sesquiterpene tetraketides, myrogramins A-I ( 1, 4- 11), and two known ones ( 2 and 3) were isolated and identified from the strain. Compounds 1, 3, 4, 10, and 11 exhibited significant IL-17A inhibitory activity. Among them, compound 3, with a high fermentation yield dose-dependently inhibited the generation of IL-17A and suppressed glycolysis in splenic cells under Th17-priming conditions. Strikingly, compound 3 suppressed immunopathology in both IL-17A-mediated animal models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and pulmonary hypertension. Our results revealed that aureane-type sesquiterpene tetraketides are a novel class of immunomodulators with IL-17A inhibitory activity, and hold great promise applications in treating IL-17A-mediated immune diseases.
