Objective To investigate the change of serum concentrations of IL‐17A and CXCL12 in patients with chronic ob‐structive pulmonary disease(COPD) and its correlation with illness severity and formation of lymph follicles .Methods Totally 88 cases of patients with COPD in acute phase in our hospital from 1 January 2014 to 1 January 2015 were selected as the research sub‐jects ,and were divided into mild group(n= 23) ,moderate group(n= 42) and severe group(n= 23) according to the severity of COPD ,and were divided into lymph follicles group(n=21) and non lymph follicles group(n=67) according to lymphoid follicles formation .Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent method was applied to detect the serum IL‐17A and CXCL12 concentrations of these groups in acute aggravating period and stability period ,and parameters of pulmonary function in the same period were also detected . The correlations of serum concentrations of IL‐17A and CXCL12 with illness severity ,formation of lymph follicles and lung function in patients with COPD were analysed .Results Compared with mild group ,serum concentrations of IL‐17A and CXCL12 of moder‐ate group and severe group in acute aggravating period and stable period were increased ,while FEV1 and FVC of medium group and severe group in the same period were decreased;compared with the moderate group ,serum concentrations of IL‐17A and CXCL12 of severe group in acute aggravating period and stable period were increased ,while FEV1 and FVC of severe group in the same period were decreased (P<0 .05) .Compared with non lymph follicles group ,serum concentrations of IL‐17A and CXCL12 of lymph folli‐cles group in acute aggravating period and stable period were increased ,while FEV1 and FVC of lymph follicles group in the same period were decreased (P<0 .05) .The results of correlation analysis showed that serum concentrations of IL‐17A and CXCL12 in patients with COPD were positively correlated to the illness severity and lymph follicle formation rate(IL‐17A :r=0 .728 ,0 .762 ;CXCL12 :r=0 .752 ,0 .776 ,P<0 .05) ,while were negatively correlated to FEV1 and FVC(IL‐17A :r= -0 .756 ,-0 .783 ;CXCL12 :r= -0 .743 ,-0 .767 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion Serum concentrations of IL‐17A and CXCL12 in patients with COPD were associated with its illness severity ,pulmonary function and lymphoid follicles formation ,which may serve as a reference indexes for the assess‐ment of the illness severity ,pulmonary function and lymph follicle formation .

Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP) is one of the most common blood capillary allergic disorder in children, and its pathogenesis has not been well explained. The studies show that the main mechanism of HSP is the abnormality of humoral immunity, and the role of IgA is emphaszed. Meanwhile, many agents such as changes in T cell function,participation of cytokine and mediators of intlammation, suscepti-bility gene and other factors also play an important role in the incidence of HSP. The pathogenesis of HSP can be better understood through extensive analysis of the immunology factors,genetic factors,and so on.

Objective:To analyze the effect of Doula delivery combined with labor analgesia on the delivery process and delivery outcomes of primiparas.Methods:Retrospectively selected 200 primiparas treated in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 as the research objects.All patients underwent labor analgesia, and were divided into 100 cases in the Doula group and 100 cases in the control group (without Doula delivery) according to whether or not Doula delivery was performed.T test of two independent samples and chi square test were used to compare the labor process and delivery outcome of the two groups.Results:The natural delivery rate in the Doula group was 76%(76/100), which was significantly higher than the control group (61%(61/100)), and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=5.214, P=0.022). The time of the first, second and third stage of labor in Doula group was (8.35±3.59), (1.07±0.26), (0.54±0.19) h, and that in the control group was (10.94±4.76), (1.86±0.63), (0.78±0.21) h, respectively.There were significant differences between the two groups (t value were 10.354, 5.312 and 8.169, respectively; P value were 0.016, 0.042 and 0.039, respectively). The neonatal asphyxia rates of Doula group and control group were 1% (1/100) and 3% (3/100) respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.621). The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in the Doula group and the control group was 3% (3/100) and 10% (10/100) respectively, and the incidence of postpartum urinary retention was 0 (0/100) and 6% (6/100), respectively.The success rate of early sucking was 98% (98/100) and 90% (90/100) respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P value were 0.045, 0.029 and 0.017, respectively). The hospitalization time of Doula group was (3.17±0.85) d, which was significantly shorter than that of the control group (5.64±1.29) d)( t=6.359, P=0.031). The visual analogue pain score of 2 h postpartum in Doula group was 3.49±0.98, which was significantly lower than the control group (5.82±1.06)( t=9.327, P<0.001). Conclusion:Doula delivery combined with labor analgesia can effectively reduce the pain of uterine contraction, promote natural delivery, reduce the rate of cesarean section, help to improve the quality of obstetric medical service, improve patient satisfaction, it is worth promoting in the condition of the hospital.

Objective To investigate the effects of DNaseⅠ-treated streptococcal antigens on peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)proliferation in psoriasis patients.Methods PBMC from 15 patients with psoriasis and 10 healthy controls were stimulated with three concentrations(2,10,25?g/mL) of streptococcal antigens(SA), nd DNaseⅠ-treated streptococcal antigens(DNaseⅠ-SA).After 72 h of culture,cellular proliferation was determined by ~3H thymidine incorporation.Results The DNaseⅠ-SA,at all the concentrations tested,was less potent than the corresponding concentrations of SA(P0.05),however,the lower concentrations(2,10?g/mL) of DNaseⅠ-SA were less potent than those of SA(P0.05).Also,the extent of proliferation response to SA and DNaseⅠ-SA was higher in the patients than in the controls(P

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Scarf osteotomy combined with Akin osteotomy in the treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus with absorbable screws or metal screws fixation by clinical and radiological data. Methods: Between March 2014 and May 2016, the Scarf osteotomy combined with Akin osteotomy was used to treat 62 patients (83 feet) with moderate to severe hallux valgus. Twenty-five patients (35 feet) were fixed by absorbable screws (group A) and 37 patients (48 feet) were fixed by metal screws (group B). The difference in gender, age, affected side, etiology, severity, disease duration, preoperative hallux valgus angle (HVA) and first-second intermetatarsal angle (1-2IMA) measured in weight-bearing anteroposterior X-ray film, preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The complications and healing time of 2 groups were recorded and compared. At last follow-up, the AOFAS and VAS scores, and HVA, 1-2IMA measured by weight-bearing anteroposterior X-ray film were used to evaluate the effectiveness. Results: All incisions healed by first intention and no incision-related complication occurred in the two groups after operation. Both groups were followed up, the follow-up time in group A was 12-36 months (mean, 24.4 months) and in group B was 14-38 months (mean, 25.7 months). In group A, 1 foot was complicated with hallux varus, 2 feet had mild stiffness, 1 foot appeared metastatic metatarsal pain, and in group B was 2, 3, 2 feet, respectively. There was no recurrence of hallux valgus in both groups. The difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups after the first operation was not significant ( χ2=0.275, P=0.843). The removal rate of internal fixator in group B was 89.2% (33 cases) during the second operation, among which 3 cases had screw slip and 1 case had screw fracture. And 10.8% (4 cases) refused the second removal operation due to their age. Postoperative X-ray films showed that both groups had good healing at the osteotomy site, and there was no significant difference in healing time between the two groups ( t=1.633, P=0.285). At last follow-up, the AOFAS score, VAS score, HVA, and 1-2IMA were significantly improved in the two groups when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05); but no significant difference was found between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion: The effectiveness of Scarf osteotomy combined with Akin osteotomy in the treatment of moderate to severe hallux valgus is significant, with few complications. Compared with being fixed by metal screws, being fixed by absorbable screws has the same effectiveness, but can avoid the risk of second operation to remove the internal fixator.

Objective To observe the effect of rosiglitazone on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods The 95 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics with CT scan displayed NAFLD were enrolled and divided into three groups randomly:(1) rosiglitazone group (R group) were treated for six months with rosiglitazone,4mg once daily,(2) metformin group (M group) were treated with metformin,0.5g three times daily,(3) control group were treated with other medicines except for thiazolidinedione and metformin. Results The CT value ratio of liver to spleen,disappearance rate of fatty liver and ISI were much higher in R group than in M group,while those were much higher in M group than in control group. HOMA-IR was lowest in R group and highest in control group. FIns in R group and M group was much lower than in control group. Conclusions Rosiglitazone can treat NAFLD,increase the insulin sensitivity and improve the insulin resistance in T2DM patients. The therapeutic effects of rosiglitazone are better than metformin. Rosiglitazone has no damage on liver function in our study
