ObjectiveTo evaluate the roles of imbalance between peripheral blood T helper 17 (Th17) cells and CD4+CD25+ regulatory T(Treg) cells in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD).Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 52 patients with AD aged 2-14 years and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy controls.Flow cytometry was performed to detect the percentage of Th17 cells and Treg cells in peripheral blood.Meanwhile,enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was carried out to detect the serumlevel of interleukin (IL)-6 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1.Results The children with AD showed a higher percentage of Th17 cells but a lower percentage of Treg cells in CD3+ T cells compared with the controls (( 1.20 ± 0.41 )% vs.(0.54 ± 0.28)%,t =2.58,P < 0.05; (2.29 ± 0.67)% vs.(5.95 ± 0.45)%,t =15.23,P < 0.01 ).Moreover,the serum level of IL-6 was significantly higher,while that of TGF-β1 was lower in patients with AD than in the controls ((5.12 ± 0.45) ng/L vs.(3.89 ± 0.38) ng/L,t =2.59,P< 0.05; (57.65 ± 10.78) ng/L vs. (81.18 ± 7.78) ng/L,t =5.41,P < 0.01 ).ConclusionsChildren with AD experience a change in the percentage of Thl7 cells and Treg cells in peripheral blood as well as in the serum level of IL-6 and TGF-β1,and the imbalance between Th17 cells and Treg cells in peripheral blood may contribute to the development of AD.

Objective To study the effects of quality control circle (QCC) activities on nursing quality of children with hand foot mouth disease. Methods A total of 104 children with hand foot and mouth disease in the pediatric emergency department of Zhoushan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from May 2015 to December 2017, when QCC activities have been were carried out, selected as observation group. At the same time, 104 cases of hand foot mouth disease children from January 2014 to April 2015, before QCC carried out, were selected as control group. The comprehensive evaluation of nurses, nursing quality, mistake rate of medical record and evaluation and the ability of quality control management of the nurses were compared between the two groups. Results The comprehensive evaluation, nursing quality and the ability of quality control of the observation group were all higher than those of the control group, and the mistake rate of medical record and card was lower than the control group. All the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.01). Conclusions Quality control circle activities can improve the quality of care for children with hand, foot and mouth disease, improve the comprehensive evaluation and quality management ability of nurses, which is worthy of clinical application.

As the overweight and obese population is growing, the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea is rising, and most of the cases are complicated with coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. The two diseases affect each other and seriously endanger the patients' health, becoming a major public health problem of global concern. It is of great clinical importance to explore the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Researchers have explored the relationship between the two based on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) theory and found that the two diseases belong to the TCM disease categories of chest impediment and snoring, respectively, and their co-morbidity is associated with the abnormal physiological functions of the heart and lungs. The failure of the heart to govern blood leads to the generation of blood stasis, and that of the lung to govern Qi movement leads to the generation of phlegm. The accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis in the chest causes chest impediment and snoring due to obstruction of the airway. This paper discusses the internal linkage between the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Chinese and Western medicine from the TCM theory of heart-lung correlation. Furthermore, this paper proposes the treatment principles of simultaneously treating the heart and lung and activating blood and resolving phlegm, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with obstructive sleep apnea.
