Objective To observe the impacts of Kechuanning on expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT 6) in CD4+, CD8+T lymphocytes of athma rats induced by virus, and analyze the mechanism of Kechuanning in treating asthma induced by RSV. Methods The PBMC was isolated from the peripheral blood, CD4+T, CD8+T lymphocyte was separated by immunomagnetic beads. The purity and activity of CD4+T and CD8+T lymphocytes were measured by using flow cytometry, trypan-blue dye exclusion test. The protein expression of STAT6 was detected by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Results The descending progress of the trial were supported by the purity and activity of CD4+T, CD8+T lymphocyte. CD4+T lymphocyte in the asthma model group were increased (P<0.01), however the increase of CD8+T lymphocyte were not significant (P>0.05). The expression of the protein of STAT6 in the treated group with Kechuanning decoction were decreased than that in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with Dexamethasone and Salbutamol group, there were no significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusion Kechuanning decoction could decrease the protein of STAT6 in CD4+, CD8+T lymphocyte, thereby it could regulate the disorder of Th1/Th2, thus prevent and treat the asthmatic attack induced by virus.

4. Advances in Study on Role of Butyrate in Prevention and Treatment of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2020;25(1):47-50
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, and its incidence is increasing year by year. The mechanism of NAFLD is not fully understood, and it lacks effective prevention and treatment. Recent studies have found that butyrate, as a short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), plays an important role in gene regulation, immunoregulation, inhibition of tumor, regulation of intestinal mucosal barrier, and reduction of oxidative stress. Several studies have shown that butyrate could alleviate NAFLD. This article reviewed the mechanism of butyrate in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and its application in the treatment of NAFLD, so as to provide a new idea for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.

Methods:
Data of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases aged 15 years and older in Shangcheng District from 2006 to 2022 were collected through HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Control System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Population distribution and transmission routes were analyzed, and changing trends in case number were analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC).
Results:
A total of 4 409 HIV/AIDS cases aged 15 years and older were newly reported in Shangcheng District from 2006 to 2022, including 3 932 males (89.18%). There were 3 447 cases (78.18%) under 50 years old and 962 cases (21.82%) being 50 years and older. Sexual contact was a predominant transmission route, with 4 326 cases accounting for 98.12%, including 2 626 cases (59.56%) with homosexual contact and 1 700 cases (38.56%) with heterosexual contact. The number of HIV/AIDS cases showed an overall upward trend from 2006 to 2022 (AAPC=13.038%, P<0.05), with an upward trend from 2006 to 2015 (APC=42.578%, P<0.05) and a downward trend from 2015 to 2022 (APC=-19.713%, P<0.05). The increase in the number of cases aged 50 years and older group was faster than that of cases aged under 50 years (AAPC=22.641% vs. 11.162%, both P<0.05). The increase in the number of cases with homosexual contact transmission was faster than that of cases with heterosexual contact transmission (AAPC=20.417% vs. 7.455%, both P<0.05).
Conclusions
The number of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases aged 15 years and older in Shangcheng District performed an overall upward trend from 2006 to 2022. The cases aged 50 years and older and transmitted through homosexual contact increased rapidly, which should be taken seriously.

Objective To observe the effect of Kechuanning Oral liquid on the expression of P13K in CD4+and CD8+T cells of asthma rats induced by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and explore its mechanism of preventing and treating asthma induced by virus. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control group, model group, dexamethasone and salbutamol group (positive drug group), and Kechuanning oral liquid group. Ovalbumin asthma rats model was built and induced by RSV. CD4+and CD8+T cells were separated by magnetic beads method. The expressive level of PI3K-110αin T cells was detected by immumofluorescence method with flow cytometry. Results Compared with PBS control group, positive drug group and Kechuanning oral liquid group, the CD4+and CD8+T cells percentage and the expression level of PI3K-110α in CD4+ and CD8+T cells of model group were significantly higher. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). The CD4+and CD8+T cells percentage was not associated with the expression level of PI3K-110α in CD4+ and CD8+T cells of each group by Pearson correlation analysis. Conclusion The CD4+ and CD8+T cells involve in the asthma immunity balanced modulation, and the level of PI3K expressed by CD4+ and CD8+T cells increase distinctly. Kechuanning oral liquid can restrain the expression of PI3K in CD4+ and CD8+T cells, which might be one of the immunologic mechanisms of treating asthma.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(4):498-501
Objective:
To explore the relationships between the characteristics of childhood sexual abuse and non-suicidal self-injury in nursing female college students.
Methods:
Two medical colleges and junior colleges were selected in Anhui province. A total of 2 549 female nursing students in grade 1 to 3 were asked to fill a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic information,childhood sexual abuse and non-suicidal self-injury.
Results:
The reported rate of non-suicidal self-injury among female nursing students in the past six months was 8.2%. Sexual abuse at any time during childhood (primary school or earlier,middle school and high school) increased the risk of non-suicidal self-injury among female nursing students (P<0.05). Exposure to sexual abuse in all three periods was associated with 5.04(95%CI=1.73-14.62) times odds ratio than that of those who not exposed to sexual abuse (P<0.01). Only contact sexual abuse and both contact and non-contact sexual abuse in childhood were correlated with nonsuicidal selfinjury among female nursing students [OR(95%CI)=2.21(1.48-3.29), 3.56(2.13-5.96)] (P<0.05). Two patterns of sexual abuse experiences were identified,including persistent sexual abuse (3.1%) and the other group is occasional sexual (96.9%). Persistent sexual abuse in childhood was correlated to higher risk of non-suicidal self-injury compared with occasional sexual abuse (OR=2.61,95%CI=1.35-5.05,P<0.01).
Conclusion
The occurrence periods,types and patterns of sexual abuse in childhood are closely related to non-suicidal self-injury in female nursing students.
