Objective To investigate the role of CD4 ~+ CD25~+ regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg)in modulating the cellular immune response and pathogenesis of murine pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods Inactivation of Treg was achieved by intraperitoneal injection anti-CD25 (clone PC61,50 μ/mouse) in PC61 group, and rat-IgG (50 μ/mouse) was injected intraperitoneally in control group. All the mice were inoculated intravenously with H37Rv 0. 1 mL (1 × 10~6 CFU) 3 days after Treg inactivation. The effects of Treg inactivation in different tissues were analyzed by flow cytometry. The cellular immune response, pulmonary histopathology and bacterial load were determined in vitro at different time points. The data were compared using homogeneity of variance F test and non-paired t test. Results In spleen, the percentages of Treg/CD4 T lymphocytes in PC61 group and control group were (21. 13± 3. 58)% and (30. 42± 4. 20)%, respectively at day 10 of inoculation (t = 2. 38, P < 0. 05), and those were (16. 12 ± 1. 26)% and ( 17. 34± 1. 62)%,respectively at day 30 of inoculation (t = 0. 84,P>0. 05). The percentages of Foxp3~+/CD4~+ T lymphocytes in PC61 group and control group were (32. 07 ± 3. 95)% and (60. 55 ± 5. 48)%,respectively at day 10 of inoculation (t = 5. 96, P<0. 05). Similar results were achieved in the peripheral blood. Bacillus calmette-guerin (BCG)-specific 1L-17 (ng/L) secreted by murine spleen cells in PC61 group and control group at day 10, 30 and 60 of inoculation were 5. 1± 0.9 vs 0, 43. 1± 10.0 vs5. 9± 2. 8 and 124.8 ± 5.8 vs 102. 5±8. 1, respectively (t = 7. 90, t=5. 10,t = 3. 19; all P<0.05); those of BCG-specific IFN-γ (ng/L) were 28. 4 ± 8. 2 vs 4. 0±1. 3, 685. 9± 128. 6 vs418. 7±20.4 and 310.9±119. 7 vs 32. 8±7. 5, respectively(tO = 4. 21,t = 8. 43, t = 3. 27; all P<0.05);those of TNF-a (ng/L) were 38. 6±5.0 vs 16. 3±4. 0, 112. 9 ±12. 3 vs 71. 5±12. 6 and 86. 2±8. 2vs0, respectively(t = 4. 95, t=3. 33,t/=14.8; all P<0. 05). The lung bacterial load at day 10 of inoculation in PC61 group was lower than that in control group (t = 4. 63, P < 0. 01), but the differences were not significant thereafter. The changes of lung histopathology at late stage of infection (day 120) in PC61 group were less severe than those in control group. Conclusions Murine Tregs increase dramatically after Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Treg could inhibit the specific cellular immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and therefore, may facilitate the persistent infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and development of tuberculosis.

Objective To investigate the level of IL-2+ IFN-γ+ TNF-α+ multifunctional Th1 cell in peripheral blood and hydro-thorax of the TB patients and its clinical significance .Methods 49 patients with tuberculosis(TB) including 14 cases of tuberculous pleurisy and 27 individuals with latent TB infection were selected and 66 healthy individuals were selected as the controls .PMA and ionomycin were adopted to stimulate mononuclear cells in whole blood and pleural effusion .The secretion status of CD4+ T cells cy-tokines was detected by using the intracellular cytokine staining and the flow cytometric analysis .Results According to the differ-ent cytokines generated by CD4+ T cells ,which were divided into 7 cell subgroups :IL-2+ IFN-γ+ TNF-α+ ,IL-2+ IFN-γ+ ,IL-2+TNF-α+ ,IFN-γ+ TNF-α+ ,IL-2+ ,TNF-α+ and IFN-γ+ cell subgroups .The proportion of peripheral blood IL-2+ IFN-γ+ TNF-α+multifunctional Th1 cells in the TB patients was significantly lower than that in the healthy controls and the individuals with latent TB infection(P<0 .01) ,the expression levels of IL-2+ IFN-γ+ cells and IFN-γ+ TNF-α+ cells were significantly lower than those in the individuals with latent TB infection and the healthy controls (P<0 .05);TNF-α+ cells was higher than that in the healthy con-trols and the individuals with latent TB infection (P<0 .05) .The other subgroups had no obvious change .The response level of IL-2+ IFN-γ+ TNF-α+ multifunctional Th1 cells in the pleural effusion mononuclear cells (PEMC) was higher than that in the peripher-al blood mononuclear cells(P<0 .05);IL-2+ cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was lower than that in PEMC (P<0 .01) .Conclusion The response of non-specific Th1 cells is related with the clinical outcome of TB infection ,IL-2+ IFN-γ+TNF-α+ multifunctional Th1 cells plays a certain role in the protective immunoreaction of TB .

Objective To investigate the effect of first aid nursing path under the center of chest pain on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods A total of 79 cases of STEMI patients who had been selected for emergency treatment after the establishment of the chest pain center were as the experimental group. The patient's first aid nursing path was used in the center of chest pain. A total of 159 cases of STEMI patients before the establishment of the chest pain center were as the control group, Application of traditional clinical pathway. Compared to the diagnosis and treatment effect of two groups of patients. Results The rate of completed the project within 10 min for the experimental group: the completion of electrocardiogram examination (91.1% vs 84.9% ), oral aspirin, clopidogrel, or lindinda (81.0% vs 75.5%), and laboratory medical order (79.7% vs 69.8%) were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=2.31, 1.68, 2.06, P < 0.05). The day of hospitalization in the experimental group was less than that of the control group (6.48±3.82 vs 9.76± 4.32), and the difference was statistically significant (t=-9.80, P < 0.05). The mortality rate during hospitalization was lower than that of the control group (5.66% vs 3.8% ), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=-2.24, P<0.05). Conclusion The first aid nursing path in the center of chest pain can shorten the time of diagnosis and treatment of STEMI patients and improve the diagnosis and treatment effect of STEMI patients.
