Objective:Based on the detection of CD4+IL17+Th17 and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells in the peripheral blood of patients with human papilloma virus (HPV), the study analyzes the ratio of Th17 to Treg and compares the different expression of cytokine IL-17, IL-10, TGF-β, and IL-23 in the serum. Methods:From September 2014 to June 2016, 119 cases of untreated patients with cervical HPV in-fection were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University, which include 46 cases of cervical cancer (CC), 43 cases with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)Ⅱ-Ⅲ, and 30 with chronic cervicitis (CCS). The detection of HPV types classified 80 patients as high-risk and 39 as low-risk. Flow cytometry examined Treg and Th17 cells, and enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay was used to test related cytokines. Results:In the infection of high-risk cervical HPV, the rate of the CC group was 87%(40/46), which was higher than that of the CINⅡ-Ⅲgroup and the CCS group, which were 77%(33/43) and 23%(7/30), respectively. For the expression of Th17 and Treg cells in the peripheral blood and the related cytokine IL-17, IL-23, TGF-β, and IL-10 in the serum, the levels of CC group were also significantly higher than that of the other two groups, and the ratio of Th17 to Treg increased considerably with the se-verity of cervical lesions. The expression of Th17 and Treg cells in the peripheral blood of patients with high-risk cervical HPV were higher than that of patients with low-risk cervical HPV (P<0.05), which was the same for the expression of the related cytokine IL-17, IL-23, TGF-β, and IL-10 in the serum. The ratio of the Th17 to Treg of patients with high-risk cervical HPV increased remarkably (P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression of Treg and Th17 cells in high-risk patients exhibits an increasing trend, and the ratio of increased Th17 to Treg may directly participate in the process of HPV infection and immune evasion, which plays an important role in the occurrence and development of cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the water infectivity in key water regions,and analyze the transmission risk of schisto-somiasis in suspicious and high-risk environments in Hubei Province in 2016. Methods Schistosome-endemic areas of the Yangtze River,the Hanbei River and the Fu River were chosen as the surveillance and forecast sites. The water infectivity was detected by using the sentinel mice during the flood season. The infection status of residents in the villages around the surveil-lance sites and the activities of human beings and domestic animals were surveyed. The emergency response system was initiated when the water infectivity areas were detected. Results From May to June,among the ten surveillance sites of the first batch, two positive spots with infected mice were found,accounting for 20%. All the recovered mice(totally 200)were dissected:five mice were infected,with a total infection rate of 2.5%. Totally five schistosome adult worms were collected,with mean worm bur-den of 1 worm per infected mouse. The site with cercariae-infected water body started the emergency response and no epidemic occurred. From August to September,among the eight surveillance sites of the second batch,the recovered mice(totally 160) were dissected,and no infected sentinel mice were found. Conclusion The sentinel mice method plays an important role in an-alyzing the schistosomiasis transmission risk in Hubei Province.
