ObjectiveTo understand the relationship between mycoplasm load in bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid (BALF) with the status of Th1/Th2 immune response in children withMycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP).MethodsThe levels of IL-4, IFN, IL-8 , TNF-α in BLAF and total IgE, ECP in serum from 90 children with MPP were measured by ELISA.MP DNA in BALF was detected quantitatively by lfuorescent real-time PCR. Children with MPP (n=90) were divided into two groups of low MP-DNA load (n=24) and high MP-DNA load (n=26) according to the copies of MP DNA in BALF. The cytokines in BALF, and total IgE and ECP in serum were compared between the two groups. The relationship between the levels of cytokines in BLAF and the copies was evaluated.ResultsThe levels of IL-4 and the IL-4/IFN ratio in BALF from the high DNA-load group were signiifcantly higher than that of the low group (t=4.280, 2.076, allP<0.05). The level of IL-4 was signiifcantly correlated with the copies of MP-DNA in BALF from children with MPP (r=0.509,P<0.05). The percentage of total IgE and ECP positive result in serum from the high DNA-load group is higher than that of the low group. (χ2=24.638, 6.392,allP<0.05).Conclusion Infection with high-load MP in children may cause the imbalance of Th1/Th2. And the Th2 cytokines response seems predomi-nant.

Background:Colonoscopy is considered as a standard method for detecting various kinds of colorectal polyps. However,conventional colonoscopy( CC)still has the chance to miss some lesions. Literatures have already reported that transparent hood assisted colonoscopy( THAC)can improve the detection of colorectal polyps. However,the effect of black hood assisted colonoscopy( BHAC)on detection of colorectal polyps is still unclear. Aims:To evaluate the effect of BHAC on detection of colorectal polyps. Methods:A total of 1 076 patients underwent CC and BHAC from Sept. 2014 to April 2015 at Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled study. Baseline characteristics,cecal intubation time,withdrawal time,number of polyps,detection rate of polyps,location, size,morphology and pathological diagnosis of polyps between two groups were compared. Results:Compared with CC group,cecal intubation time was significantly shorter in BHAC group than in CC group[(6. 31 ± 3. 51)min vs.(7. 05 ± 4. 15)min,P=0. 002]. No significant differences in withdrawal time and rate of cecal intubation were found between two groups(P>0. 05). Detection rate of polyps was significantly higher in BHAC group than in CC group(65. 4% vs. 48. 7%,P=0. 004). No significant differences in size,morphology of polyps were found between two groups(P>0. 05). Conclusions:Compared with CC,BHAC could significantly improve the detection of colorectal polyps,and shorten cecal intubation time.
