Objective:To study the effect of IL-17 on viral myocarditis in mice. Methods:We randomly selected 20 wild type BALB/c mice as the control group,20 IL-17A-/- mice for IL-17A-/- group,20 IL-17A-/- mice for IL-17 group. Each mouse had intrap-eritoneal injection of Coxsackie virus B3 (Coxsackie virus B3,CVB3) to construct VMC model. The serum levels of IL-17 were detected by ELISA method,and Th17 cells were detected by flow cytometry. After 3 days of treatment with CVB3,100 μg IgG antibody was injected intraperitoneally in control group and L-17A-/- group,and 100 μg IL-17mAb was injected with IL-17 group. Mice myocardium was collected at 3rd,7th and 14th days,respectively,after CVB3 treatment. Pathological examination was carried out on the myocardial sections of mice and stained with H&E. Virus titer in mouse myocardium was examined. The contents of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-23 and IL-17 in myocardial tissue were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results:We successfully constructed the model of mice with viral myocarditis. The levels of Th17 and IL-17 in serum of IL-17 group were significantly lower than those in control group and IL-17-/-group. On the fourteenth day after CVB3 treatment,the degree of myocardial tissue damage in the control group was significantly higher than that in the IL-17A-/- group and the IL-17 group(P<0. 05),the degree of myocardial injury in IL-17 mice was higher than that in the IL-17A-/- group. The virus titer of the control group was higher than that of IL-17A-/-group and IL-17 group,and the control group was increased with the increase of CVB3 treatment phase (P< 0. 05). After the IL-17mAb was injected,the virus titer of IL-17 group was higher than that of IL-17A-/- group. The levels of IL-17, IL-23, IL-6 and TNF-α in IL-17-/- group and IL-17 group were significantly lower than those in control group. The levels of IL-17,IL-23,IL-6 and TNF-αin IL-17 group were significantly higher than those in IL-17-/-group (P<0. 05). Conclusion:IL-17 is an important inflammatory factor in viral myocarditis,and IL-17 deletion can protect myocardium from viral myocarditis in mice.

In recent years,immunotherapy has gradually become a new treatment method of neoplasms,and the patients with solid tumors can benefit from immunotherapy.Immunotherapy has also been used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),which shows a remarkable effect.At present,programmed death 1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have achieved obvious effects in the treatment of NSCLC.With the continuous study of clinical trials,immunosuppressants have obtained indications in the first-line and second-line treatment of advanced NSCLC.This new treatment changes the treatment mode of lung cancer,and it also brings challenges for the treatment of efficacy evaluation and treatment-related adverse reactions of the tumors.This review summarizes the progress of immunotherapy as the first-line treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the influence of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection in detrusor muscle region and detrusor muscle combined with bladder triangle region on the symptoms severity, bladder function and quality of life in patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) combined with urinary incontinence. Methods Sixty patients with NDO combined with urinary incontinence were chosen in the period from March 2011 to June 2017. The patients were divided into control group and observation group according to random digits table method with 30 cases each. The patients in control group were treated with detrusor muscle region BTX-A injection, and the patients in observation group were treated with detrusor muscle combined with bladder triangle region BTX-A injection. The number of urinary incontinence for every day, detrusor muscle overactivity (DO) duration, average urine volume, bladder detrusor muscle urine storage period of maximum pressure (Pdetmax), bladder compliance (BC), volume at first involuntary detrusor muscle contraction (VFIDC), quality of life of urinary incontinence (I-QOL) score and incidences of adverse reaction before and after treatment were compared between 2 groups. Results The number of urinary incontinence every day, DO duration, average urine volume, Pdetmax, BC, VFIDC and I-QOL score after treatment in observation group were significantly better than those in control group: (2.84 ± 0.56) times vs. (6.18 ± 1.22) times, (80.05 ± 9.49) s vs. (125.16 ± 12.72) s, (378.57 ± 91.03) ml vs. (255.88 ± 75.95) ml, (30.19 ± 5.47) cmH2O (1 cmH2O=0.098 kPa) vs. (47.33 ± 7.79) cmH2O, (10.04 ± 1.71) ml/cmH2O vs. (8.09 ± 1.32) ml/cmH2O, (249.60 ± 76.19) ml vs. (195.19 ± 60.72) ml and (63.17 ± 9.60) scores vs. (54.46 ± 6.29) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in incidence of adverse reaction (P>0.05). Conclusions Detrusor muscle combined with bladder triangle region BTX-A injection in patients with NDO combined with urinary incontinence relieves the symptoms severity, improves the bladder function and quality of life and not increases the adverse reactions risk.
