Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of interleukin-21 (IL-21)role in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).Meth-ods 38 cases of PBC were selected for the study.35 caeses of healthy subjects were selected as the control group in January 2012 to January 2014 from Shenzhen Fuyong People’s Hospital of Baoan District and the Third People’s Hospital of Shenz-hen.The levels of IL-21,IL-17 of two groups were measured with Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The levels of T helper lymphocytes 17 (Th17),regulatory T cells (Treg)cells ratios of two groups were measured with flow cytome-try.The relationship of IL-2 1 and liver function were analyzed with pearson correlation.Another analysis of pyruvate through the establishment of in vitro deaminase complex E2 subunit (PDC-E2)peptides relationship with Th17 and Treg cell.Results The levles of IL-17 (18.23±4.12)ng/L,IL-21 (512.25±18.25)ng/L,Th17 (3.98±0.98)%,Th17/Treg (39.25±3.25)% of PBC group were significantly higher than the control group (7.89±3.26)ng/L,(212.98±21.52)ng/L,(0.92±0.21)% and (12.98±3.12)%,while the PBC group Treg (3.11±0.85)% were lower than the control group (8.36±1.12)%.IL-21 were positive correlation with IL-17,Th17 (t=8.886,7.021,4.448,10.112,5.125,P<0.05).In vitro experiments showed that the addition of IL-21 in the culture system,the levels of Th17 (2.41±0.82)%,Th17/Treg cells(32.98±3.12)% were significantly higher than the control group(0.98±0.21)%,(12.25±3.25)%,while Treg (4.75 ±0.68)% were lower than the control group(11.85±0.96)%,the difference was statistically significant (8.521,6.489, 8.236,P<0.05).Conclusion IL-21 levels increased with the pathogenesis of PBC has a close relationship,which can pro-mote the reaction of PDC-E2 Th1 7/Treg immune imbalance caused thereby occurs mediated by PBC.

Imatinib mesylate,as the first generation Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase inhibitor,has brought revolutionary treatment for Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML);it has been recommended as the first-line treatment for CML by NCCN Practice Guidelines in Oncology in 2008 and European LeukemiaNet(ELN) criteria.However,imatinib has three limitations:first,it is expensive and can not be stopped if efficancy to be maintained;Second,some 20%~30% of patients develope resistance to imatinib;and third,the CML patients can not be cured with imatinib.Taking into consideration of the situation in China,we recommend individual therapy using TKI,HSCT,interferon and cytotoxic drugs for CML patients in China.

Objective To investigate plasma soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ( sICAM-1) concentration in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos)and their clinic significance. Methods The level of sICAM-1 in serum in 41 patients with pcos and in 39 healthy persons were measured by ELASA.The possible relationship between sICAM-1 and clinical materials were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis.Results ①The sICAM-1level in women with PCOS was higher than of that healthy persons(P

Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), a member of the mitochondrial inner membrane carrier family, partly dissipate the proton electrochemical gradient, decrease ATP production. UCP2 limits production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibits insulin secretion and regulates fatty acid oxidation. FFA, PPAR?,leptin, thyroid hormones and so on could regulate the UCP2 expression. The function of UCP2 in myocardial energy metabolism remains unknown.

Objective:To explore the necessity of monitoring polysomnography (PSG ) in snoring children.Method:The PSG were monitored in 162 children with snoring or apnea.Acording to results of PSG,162 cases were separated into two groups:group obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) and group primary snoring(PS),monitoring data including:apnea hypopnea index(AHI),snoring index(SI),lowest oxygen saturation(LSaO_2) and time of SaO_2<0.9,all data were undertaked statistical analysis. Result:In all 162 snoring cases,150 cases(92.6%) belong to group OSAHS,12 cases(7.4%) belong to group PS;Differences of data of age,sex and body mass index(BMI) are not significant but that of AHI,SI,LSaO_2 and time of SaO_2<0.9 are significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:It's necessary to monitor PSG in snoring children for early diagnosis and correct treatment to avoid disadvantage of OSAHS.

ObjectiveTo seek the approach to the initial diagnosis of pulmonary embolism through analysis and conclusion of the clinical features of pulmonary embolism.MethodsThe high risk factors,clinical manifestation and results of common auxiliary examinations of 23 patients with pulmonary embolism were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThere were 91.30％(21/23)patients with high risk factors.The common symptoms were dyspnea (91.30％,21/23) and chest tightness (69.57％,16/23 ),while the triad of pulmonary embolism merely accounted for 13.04％ (3/23).And other symptoms included palpitation,chest pain,hemoptysis and syncope,etc.Blood gas analysis indicated that there were hypoxemia and hypocarbia.The positive rate of D-dimer was 91.30％ (21/23).The abnormal rate of electrocardiogram was 91.30％( 21/23 ) and the abnormal rate of echocardiography was 86.96％(20/23).ConclusionAppropriate approach to the initial prognosis can help to establish the diagnosis of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism as early as possible,as well as differentiate other cardiopulmonary diseases.

Objective To determine the prevalence and influencing factors of urinary calculi,to explore the interIrelationships between urinary stone disease and various risk and protective factors,to determine the potential implications for intervention and prevention in Changsha,and to evaluate the relative importance of each risk factor,with the objective of providing scientific guidelines for urinary calculi prevention and diagnosis. Methods A case-control study was designed,and 66,772 people were surveyed.Ultrasound examination,blood biochemistry,general physical examination,gender and age were asked in a questionnaire to determine a diagnosis of urolithiasis.By means of SPSS software a x2 tendency test and non-condition Logistic regression were conducted. Results A multivariate Logistic regression analyses was conducted.The final factors entered into the model were sex,age,profession,dietary habits,drinking habits,smoking and level of uric acid. Conclusions Hazard factors associated with urolithiasis are male gender,age,profession,dietary and drinking habits,smoking and level of uric acid.

Objective To observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on the expression of NF-?B and ICAM-1 after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Methods The middle cerebral artery occlusion-reperfusion (MCAOR) model was established by using Zea-Longas method in rats. Seventy-two rats were recruited in this study and randomly divided into 3 groups: a cerebral ischemia-reperfusion group (CIR group),a CIR+HBO group(HBO group),and a sham-operation group(SO group). The infarct volume of each group was measured by TTC staining technique, and the expression of NF-?B and ICAM-1 was measured at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 120 h, respectively, after reperfusion by using immunohistochemistry staining. Results The infarct volume in HBO group was significantly smaller than that in CIR group (P

Radiotherapy has been proven to enhance tumor-specific immune response and provide targets for immune drugs. Immune checkpoint inhibitors represented by PD-1/PD-L1 combined with radiotherapy can enhance anti-tumor activity and exert abscopal effect. In this article, research progress on the basic study and clinical trials and challenges of radiotherapy combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in the treatment of breast cancer were reviewed.

Colorectal carcinogenesis is the result of accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alters.Gene mutations and changes in DNA methylation patterns,resulted from genomic instability,are the main molecular events in colorectal cancer.Identification of key mutations and methylation phenotypes in genes leading to colorectal cancer progression,and molecular pathology classification and diagnosis are likely to be the prerequisites for individualized and targeted treatment.
