Objective:To study expression of lymphotoxin-?(LT-?)in SLE patients with the relationship of inordinate immunoregulation.Methods:The 82 SLE patients and 90 normal controls'serum concentration of LT-? protein was detected with ELISA and PBLs were separated for analyses of its encoding sequence with RNA spot hybridization.The polymorphisms of LT-? gene in PBLs were analyzed by PCR-RFLP.Results:The expressing level of LT-? in SLE patients was significantly higher than in controls for both seral protein and mRNA inPBLs(P

CpG oligonucleotide(CpG ODN)is a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide containing non-methylated CpG,which has broad application prospects in disease prevention and clinical treatment. Among them,B class CpG ODN is widely used in vaccine research because of its strong immune stimulation and some motifs have entered the clinical research stage. At the same time,the problem of bacterial resistance in clinical treatment has become increasingly serious,and the development of bacterial vaccine with B class CpG ODN as adjuvant has become a research hotspot. This paper reviewed the current research status and related progress of the existing B class CpG ODN 1826,2006,2007 and 1668 motifs in bacterial vaccines,with a view to providing a reference for the subsequent development and application of bacterial vaccines.

The core problem of current rural health services is a governance problem, that is, how the basic rural health resources can be used more effectively. Based on the study of history and reality, this paper suggests that in the existing “government-market” framework, the village is the third perspective worthy of consideration. Inside the village community, the trust, network and cooperation between people which were based on the traditional rural acquaintances society capital and the institutional resources in the organizations at the primary level will be able to in-crease the degree of organization, thereby reducing the transaction costs between the government or the market and rural residents. The village power will be able to better take advantage of government and market mechanisms, and thus solve the problem of rural health resource utilization more effectively.

This paper reports the diagnosis and treatment of one rare case of thyroid dysfunction caused by Strongyloides ster-coralis infection.

?AIM: To investigate the compliance in patients with topical glaucoma therapy, and identify the most frequent barriers to adherence.?METHODS: One-on-one interview and questionnaire were taken to investigate the compliance with hypotensive eye drops in 366 patients who had been diagnosed as glaucoma and received the therapy for at least 6mo in Wuhan and suburban district from July 2014 to June 2015 in Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital.?RESULTS: The proportion of compliance was 44. 3%( 162/366 ) . Factors significantly influencing compliance included severity of the better eye, the severity of symptom when attacked, duration of medication and whether to administrate on the same time daily ( OR=5. 700,0. 554,0. 336,0. 558,P<0. 05). Age, gender, marital status, education level, economic status, domicile, knowledge of the disease, suffering from other diseases with medication, type of glaucoma, type of eye drop, frequency were not associated with a higher rate of non-compliance.? CONCLUSION: Compliance in patients with topical glaucoma therapy in Wuhan is poor. Regularly carrying out relevant health education and interventions is very important.

Abstract?AIM: To assess the efficacy and adverse reactions of two concentrations of diluted botulism toxin A ( BTX-A) for blepharospasm.?METHODS:Totally 220 patients (440 eyes) confirmedas blepharospasm in our department ( from January 2013 to January 2015 ) , were divided randomly into two groups:110 in high concentration group and 110 in low concentration group.The two groups were given local injections with 25 U/mL or 40 U/mL concentration of botulism toxin type A to the upper and lower eyelids orbicular muscle, corrugator, reducing eyebrow muscle and procerus respectively.We observed dosage of two groups, the treatment effect, the duration of the effect and the incidence of adverse reactions.?RESULTS: The high concentration group was given the BTX-A with 48.33 ±4.02U, the low concentration group was given the BTX-A with 28.51 ±3.42U,the differences were statistically significant( P<0.05).The differences of post-operative evaluation of curative effect, onset time and duration of the effect between the groups were not statistically significant ( P >0.05 ). Sixteen cases had ptosis in different levels in the high concentration group, and 2 in the low concentration group, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01).There were no serious complications such as intoxication, drug allergy in both groups.Ptosis relieved after using naphcon-A and disappeared in 2-3 wk.?CONCLUSION: The efficacy of local injection with two concentrations of diluted botulinum toxin A for blepharospasm was positive. Considering the high incidence of ptosis in high concentration group, we recommended the 25U/mL botulism toxin A for blepharospasm.
