Objective To investigate the effeet of eyclosporine A (CsA) on CD4+ Foxp3+ T cells in C57BL/6 mice and the underlying mechanism.Methods C57BL/6 mice, aging 8～ 10 weeks, were administered intraperitoneally with CsA at a dose of 20 mg· kg-1·d-1 for 2 weeks, while the control mice given sterile PBS.After 2 weeks, peripheral blood was collected, and splenoeytes and thymoeytes were prepared for the detection of CD4 + Foxp3 + T cells by using flow cytometry.Results The proportion of CD4+ Foxp3+ T cells in peripheral blood, spleen and thymus of CsA-treated mice was (0.581 ± 0.089) %, (2.189 ± 0.046) % and (0.472 ± 0.049) %, while that in PBS-treated mice was (1.751 ± 0.227) %, (3.684 ± 0.169) % and (1.412 ± 0.188) %, respectively (P < 0.001).Conclusion The reduction of CD4 + Foxp3+ T cells in CsA-treated mice suggests that CsA can inhibit the development of regulatory T cells.

BACKGROUND:The research at home and abroad for appropriate immature myocardial cardioplegia has no breakthrough, and it may be a better mean to improve the protection effect of existing cardioplegia on immature myocardial by adding ingredients. Adenosine can reduce ischemia and neutrophil-mediated reperfusion injury, and salvia miltiorrhiza can reduce the content of ischemic myocardial lipid peroxide and increase the scavenging of myocardial cells to oxygen radical. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protection effect of improved myocardial protection fluid containing adenosine and salvia miltiorrhiza on the heart, liver and kidney. METHODS:Sixty cases of infant open heart operation of the first time were randomly divided into three groups, 20 cases in each group. The adenosine group received the improved myocardial protection fluid added with adenosine, the combination group received the improved myocardial protection fluid added with adenosine and miltiorrhiza salvia, and the control group received the improved myocardial protection fluid in the same volume. The blood samples were taken at the time before anesthesia induction, 30 minutes after cardio pulmonary bypass beginning, 1 hour after cardio pulmonary bypass end and 24 hours after cardio pulmonary bypass end. The serum levels of the creatine kinase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and interleukin 10 were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The serum levels of the alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and creatine kinase in three groups were increased, but the control group was increased significantly (P<0.01), and there were significant differences between adenosine group and combination group (P<0.05);the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 were significantly increased after operation (P<0.05). The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in the control group were significantly higher than those in the adenosine group and combination group before induction and at the same time point (P<0.01);at 3 minutes and 24 hours after cardio pulmonary bypass, the level of interleukin-10 was increased in three groups, but the level of interleukin-10 in the adenosine group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). The results indicate that improved myocardial protection fluid has great protection effect on immature myocardial, and can significantly reduce the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, promote the secretion of interleukin-10 that can inhibit inflammatory cytokine and can significantly reduce the inflammatory response caused by cardiopulmonary bypass. So the improved myocardial protection fluid has protection effect on important organs, such as heart, lung, liver and kidney.

BACKGROUND: Vertebrae axial rotation is a basic deformity of scoliosis, the rotational degree of which is hard to measure due to the field limitation of posterior spinal instrumentation. Currently, vertebrae rotational degree is measured according to preoperative X-ray film or CT, while no reports concerning measuring vertebrae rotational degree during operation. OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of measurement of vertebrae rotational degree with the entry point of pedicle screws.METHODS: Design of the path of pedicle screws on CT scans before surgery, a line bisection and perpendicular to another connecting bilateral entry point of pedicle screws, and the angle of vertebral rotation (EPPsag) was taken as the angle between this line and the saggital plane. The difference among vertebrae rotational degrees measured by conimeter, Ho's method and EPPsag was compared by Wilcoxon signed rank test. The intra-observer and inter-observer difference was analyzed with One-WayANOVA. Conimeter was used to measure vertebrae rotational degree of each vertebra in 9 lumbar specimens, and the results was compared to EPPsag.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference among EPPsag, actual rotational degree and measuring results of Ho's method (P>0.05). The One-Way ANOVA showed that the differences between intra-observer analysis and inter-observer analysis (P>0.05). The results demonstrated that EPPsag can exhibit vertebrae rotational degree accurately and repeatability. This anger can be obtained accurately with the instrument if the vertebrae rotational degree not exceeding 30°.

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of colistin resistance mediated by mcr-1and pmrAB genes in clinical Escherichia coli ( E. coli) isolates. Methods A total of 1988 clinical E. coli isolates were collected from the First People′s Hospital of Shangqiu from 2010 to 2017 and screened for colistin-resistant isolates using agar dilution method. The minimum inhibitory concentrations ( MICs) of nine common clinical antibiotics were determined using broth microdilution method. PCR and sequencing analysis were performed to detect the colistin resistance genes of mcr-1 and pmrAB. Conjugation experiments were used to test the transferability of the plasmid carrying mcr-1 gene. S1-PFGE and Southern blot were used to locate the plasmid carrying mcr-1. All colistin-resistant E. coli isolates were typed by multilocus se-quence typing ( MLST) . Results Six colistin-resistant E. coli isolates were obtained by agar dilution meth-od. The results of susceptibility testing showed that all of the six isolates were multidrug resistant. PCR and sequencing analysis revealed that four out of the six strains carried mcr-1 gene, and the other two isolates both had an amino acid substitution (L167P) caused by pmrB gene mutation. The results of conjugation ex-periments, S1-PFGE and Southern hybridization analysis showed that the plasmids of four mcr-1 gene-posi-tive E. coli strains were located on a conjugative plasmid about 60 kb in length. MLST analysis classified the six isolates into six distinct sequence types ( STs) . Conclusion This study suggested that mcr-1 gene and mutations in pmrAB gene were the main mechanisms mediating the resistance of E. coli to colistin. In clinical practice, the occurrence and spread of colistin-resistant E. coli should be further monitored, and the rational use of antibiotics should be promoted to prevent the spread of colistin-resistant strains.

Objective:To explore and analyze the relationship between serum KLK11 and MK levels and the effect of first iodine 131 ( 131I) ablation after operation for differentiated thyroid cancer. Method:108 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer who underwent total thyroidectomy in our hospital from Jun. 2020 to Jun. 2021 were consecutively selected, and received radioactive ablation after surgery. There were 37 males and 71 females. The age was (48.32±4.25) years, ranging from 28 to 79 years. The patients were divided into successful ablation according to whether the ablation was successful after treatment. There were 64 cases in the group and 44 cases in the unsuccessful group, and 60 healthy people with no abnormality in physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. The patients were divided into a metastasis-positive group of 20 cases and a metastasis-negative group of 88 cases according to whether lymph nodes occurred. After surgery, serum samples of all subjects were taken, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum kallikrein-related peptidases 11 (KLK11) and midkine (MK) , and the levels of serum KLK11 and MK were analyzed. Gender, age, BMI, TNM stage, TSH, maximum diameter of lesion, and duration of nail removal were collected. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors of postoperative efficacy.Result:The levels of serum KLK11 and MK in the successful and unsuccessful groups were higher than those in the control group, while the levels of KLK11 and MK in the unsuccessful group were higher than those in the successful group (KLK11: t= 2.642, P<0.05; MK: t=11.906, P<0.05) . The serum levels of KLK11 and MK in the metastasis-positive group were higher than those in the metastasis-negative group (KLK11: t= 2.908, P<0.05; MK: t=14.907, P<0.05) . Univariate analysis showed that BMI ( χ2=6.780, P=0.009) , maximum diameter of lesions ( χ2=14.819, P=0.001) , TSH ( χ2=13.627, P=0.001) , serum KLK11 ( t=2.642, P=0.01) , and serum MK ( t=11.906, P<0.001) were associated with the effect of first 131I ablation after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer ( P<0.05) . Taking the success of ablation as the dependent variable, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. The results showed that the maximum diameter of the lesions greater than 2 cm ( OR=10.740, 95%CI: 7.033-16.401) , increased level of TSH ( OR=8.559, 95%CI: 2.812-26.057) , increased serum KLK11 level ( OR=16.710, 95%CI: .548-32.666) and increased serum MK level ( OR=10.580, 95%CI: 6.294-17.786) were the factors affecting the first 131I ablation effect after DTC surgery ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The elevated levels of serum KLK11 and MK are independent risk factors affecting the efficacy of the first 131I ablation after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer.

Objective To observe the multimodal imaging characteristics of multiple evanescent white dot syndrom (MEWDS).Methods This was a retrospective series case study.Eighteen patients (18 eyes) diagnosed with MEWDS in Eye Center of The Second People's Hospital of Foshan from September 2015 to April 2017 were enrolled in this study.There were 12 females and 6 males,with the mean age of 35.9 years.The disease course ranged from 3 to 90 days,with the mean of 14 days.All the patients underwent BCVA,slit-lamp microscope with +90D preset lens,fundus photography,spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) and FAF examinations.FFA was simultaneously performed in 6 eyes,FFA and ICGA were simultaneously performed in 12 eyes.Ten patients received the treatment of glucocorticoids and vasodilator substance,and other 8 patients without any treatment.The follow-up duration was 4.5 months.The multimodal imaging characteristics were reviewed and analyzed.Results Fundus color photography showed a variable number of small dots and large spots lesions (14 eyes),and/or fovea granularity (7 eyes) and disk swelling (5 eyes).A variable number of little dots and larger spots lesions showed respectively in FFA,FAF and ICGA were needle-like dots distributed in a wreathlike pattern and a large plaque occasionally confluent of early highly fluorescent,highly autofluorescence and hypofluoresence.Combined hypofluorescent spots with overlying dots were observed in 10 eyes of the late stages of the ICGA.Black lesions in the gray background show in ICGA were the most obvious and the most extensive,gray-white lesions in the gray-black show in FAF were the second,light gray-black lesions in the gray show in FFA were the least.Gray-white lesions in an orange background show in fundus photography were not obvious and transient.SD-OCT showed disruption of the ellipsoid zone and/or accumulations of hyperreflective material from the ellipsoid layer toward the outer plexiform layer and vitreous cells.During the period of following-up,some patients were prescribed low-dose glucocorticoid and some not,almost all the patients except one patient experienced recovery in BCVA and the lesions in fundus imaging.Conclusions The lesions in MEWDS eyes in modern multimodal imaging modalities among fundus photography (fovea granularity),FFA (needle-like dots distributed in a wreathlike pattern and a large plaque occasionally confluent of early highly fluorescent),ICGA (flake hypofluorescent) and SD-OCT (disruption of the ellipsoid zone) showed good consistency.Almost eyes were recovery.
