Chinese Journal of Immunology 2015;(4):537-540
Objective:To detect the levels of T help cell 17 (Th17)/regulatory T cell (Treg) in the peripheral blood of patients with ovarian cancer and explore their clinical significances.Methods:55 patients with ovarian cancer and 60 normal controls were enrolled.The percentage of Th17/Treg cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM).The expression of retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma-t ( RORγt)/foxhead winged-helix box protein 3 ( Foxp3) mRNA was measured by real time PCR and the plasma levels of IL-17/TGF-β1 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: The percentage of CD4+IL-17+/CD4+T cells,the mRNA expression of RORγt and the plasma levels of IL-17 increased significantly in patients with ovarian cancer than in normal controls (P<0.05).Compared with normal controls,the percentage of CD4+Foxp3+Treg/CD4+T cells,the mRNA expression of Foxp3 and the plasma levels of TGF-β1 increased significantly in patients with ovarian cancer ( P<0.05).Conclusion:The imbalance of Th17/Treg cells may exist in the peripheral blood of patients with ovarian cancer.Th17/Treg cells may participate the pathology of ovarian cancer.

BACKGROUND: When the dynamic equilibrium between oxidation system and anti-oxidation system in the body is upset, the overly produced active oxygen-derived free radicals will attack the target organs, thus resulting in the damage to organs and big molecules, and then diseases. Total anti-oxidation capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity are the majorindexes for the defense system of the body, and their status is closely related to diseases. OBJECTIVE:To explore the level of T-AOC, SOD and NOS in serum,and find out its relationship with lifestyle. DESIGN:Single sample investigation. SETTING:Department of Health Laboratory Technology, College of Public Health of Harbin Medical University. PARTICIPANTS:Totally 531 residents of Bin County aged 20 to 70years were recruited between September 2000 and May2001. MATERIALS:The reagents kits of T-AOC, SOD and NOS were manufactured by Nanjing Jiancheng Bio-engineering Institute. METHODS:The investigators surveyed the residents with the same questionnaire. Questionnaire was made and the investigators were trained in advance. The questionnaire was filled in item by item as required. Questionnaire items consisted of the general situation, financial status, dietary habit, hobby, status of health care, and mental factor. Finally 95 investigation indexes were completed. The activity of serum T-AOC, SOD and NOS of the 531 residents in Bin County was determined, respectively, with reagent kits produced by Nanjing Jiancheng Bio-engineering Institute. The lifestyle factors were analyzed by multivariate stepwise regression analysis,and informed consent was obtained from the participants. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURFS:① Serum T-AOC, SOD and NOS in the participants; ② lifestyle factors affecting T-AOC, SOD and NOS.RFSULTS:According to actual analysis, the 531 participants entered the results analysis. T-AOC was measured in 489 participants, SOD in 525participants, and NOS in 531 participants. ① Indexes of the participants:T-AOC of the males was obviously higher than that of the females [(20.01±7.21), (15.25±6.22) kU/L, P < 0.05]. SOD of the males was slightly lower than that of the females while NOS of the males was slightly higher than that of the females, but there was no significant difference. ②Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that risk factors related to T-AOC were gender difference (OR=2.188), educational level (OR=1.859),and the presence of rheumatism, respectively (OR =1.142). SOD-related risk factors were educational level (OR=1.584), years of spirit drinking (OR =1.048), presence of nephritis (OR=1.093), and irradiation (OR=1.770);frequency of tea drinking was a beneficial factor (OR=0.800). NOS-related risk factors were the average amount of cigarette smoking (OR=1.194) and the times of weekly spirit drinking (OR=1.368). However, the beneficial factor that affected serum NOS was the frequency of weekly mutton eating (OR=0.458) CONCLUSION:This experiment revealed that the ability to clean free radical in the 531 subjects was good and that it was better in males than in females. The increased educational level and presence of rheumatism can decrease T-AOC. Drinking, smoking and irradiation decrease SOD activity while the frequency of tea drinking and mutton eating are beneficial factors.

ObjectiveTo study the application effect of Orem self-care theory in nursing of postoperative chemotherapy patients after cervical cancer surgery. Methods60 patients receiving chemotherapy after cervical cancer surgery were randomly divided into the self-care group and the control group with 30 cases in each group,the control group received routine nursing,on this basis the self-care group was given nursing intervention according to different requirement of patients by using three nursing model of Orem self-care theory-supportive education,part compensation,complete compensation system.The nursing effect was compared between two groups. ResultsCompared with the control group,the rate of gastrointestinal adverse reaction was lower,the anxiety and depression symptom alleviated,satisfaction degree of patients and their relatives with nursing improved,self-care ability of patients was enhanced in the self-care group,all had significant differences. ConclusionsApplication of self-care theory in nursing care of patients during chemotherapy after cervical cancer can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of patients and their families and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal side effects.Meanwhile,it can make close nurse-patient relationship,improve the satisfaction degree of patients and their families,improve self-care capacity,improve the quality of care,reduce the psychological symptoms of patients,so it has significant social and economic benefits.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) during hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in human renal tubular epithelial cells.Methods Human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) cultured in vitro were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),dexmedetomidine group (group DEX),H/R group and H/R+ dexmedetomidine group (group H/R + DEX).In group C,the cells were incubated for 28 h in an incubator filled with normoxia at 37 ℃.In group DEX,dexmedetomidine 0.1 nmol/L (final concentration) was added to the culture medium and the cells were incubated for 2 h,and then incubated for 28 h in an incubator filled with normoxia at 37 ℃.In group H/R,the cells were incubated in an anaerobic chamber for 24 h at 37 ℃,and then incubated for 4 h in an incubator filled with normoxia at 37 ℃.In group H/R + DEX,the cells were incubated for 2 h in the culture medium containing dexmedetomidine 0.1 nmol/L (final concentration),incubated in an anaerobic chamber for 24 h at 37 ℃,and then incubated for 4 h in an incubator filled with normoxia at 37 ℃.After treatment in each group,the cell viability was measured by MTT assay,cell apoptosis was measured using flow cytometry,the expression of HIF-1α mRNA was detected using RT-PCR,the expression of HIF-1α and activated caspase-3 protein was detected by Western blot,and the cell growth was observed.The apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability was significantly decreased,the apoptosis rate was increased,and the expression of HIF-1α mRNA and protein and activated caspase-3 protein was up-regulated in H/.R and H/R + DEX groups,and no significant change was found in group DEX.Compared with group H/R,the cell viability was significantly increased,the apoptosis rate was decreased,the expression of HIF-1α mRNA and protein was up-regulated,the expression of activated caspase-3 protein was down-regulated,and the cell status was significantly improved in group H/R + DEX.Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine attenuates H/ R-induced damage to human renal tubular epithelial cells may be related to up-regulated expression of HIF-1 α and inhibited cell apoptosis.
