Objective To investigate the effects of camel milk on immune cells in lamina propria (LP) of intestinal mucosa in mice. Methods Six male C57BL/6 mice(6-8 weeks) were randomly divided into two groups as follows: camel milk treatment group and double distilled water (DDW) control group. Samples of cells in LP of intestinal mucosa were collected. Cell counts and percentages of immune cells in LP were analyzed by flow cytometry. Levels of IL-4,IL-10,IL-17 and IFN-γ in the supernatants of cell cul-ture were measured by ELISA. Results Compared with the DDW control group, the camel milk treatment group showed increased percentage and absolute number of CD4+T cells as well as IFN-γ-secreting CD4+T cells in LP of intestinal mucosa(P<0.05). Moreover,significantly enhanced expression of IFN-γ and sup-pressed secretion of IL-4 were found in the camel milk treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion Camel milk can promote the proliferation of CD4+T cells and enhance the secretion of IFN-γ,indicating that camel milk regulates the proliferation and cytokine secretion of immune cells in LP of intestinal mucosa in healthy mice.

Objective To investigate the expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 b (Stat5 b) and its phosphorylation (p-Stat5 b) in cervical lesions, its relationship with different degrees of cervical lesions, and its role in the pathogenesis and development of cervical lesions. Methods We obtained 80 specimens, including normal cervical tissues, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), and cervical cancer tissues. To analyze the correlation between Stat5 b and the degree of cervical lesions, immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect Stat5 b and p-Stat5 b expression. Results Increased Stat5 b expression had a positive correlation with the development of cervical lesions. The percentages of Stat5 b expressed in normal tissues, LSIL, HSIL, and cervical cancer tissues were 15.0％, 0.0％, 50.0％, and 80.0％, respectively, with significant differences among the groups (P ＜ 0.05). Conversely, the expression of p-Stat5 b had a negative correlation with the development of cervical lesions.Expression of p-Stat5 b in normal tissues, LSIL, HSIL, and cervical cancer tissues was 80.0％, 45.0％, 5.0％, and 0.0％, respectively, with statistically significant differences among the groups (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The expression of Stat5 b is significantly different in different degrees of cervical lesions, suggesting that Stat5 b signaling molecules may be involved in the development of cervical lesions.
